NOMINATIONS TODAY
Between 400 and 900 Candidates
For 1853 Seats

ELECTIONEERING TOMORROW
Deposit of $50 Pounds Expected From
Candidates For Parliament--De Va
Iera Brought From Iiinlcrick--sIay
Be Excitement.

BY The Associated Press.
Dublin, Aug. 1S.-Nominations for
the parliament of the Irish Free
State were being made today. There
are between 400 and 500 candidates
in the field for the 1853 seats, but it
is unlikely that all of these will be
able or willing to furnish the re-
CURED deposit of $50 pounds and it
is therefore expected that several will
retire.
The government party has put
forward Ill candidates, but 1t is pos
sible that this number will be- in
creased before the end of the day.
Republican aspirants for seats in the
legislature number S5, however.
Farmer Labor Representatives
There are many representatives of
the farmer and labor parties to be
nominated and independents also.
On Sunday after the morning mass
will begin a week of intensive cleo
during the course of
which there is likely to be consider
able turmoil inasmuch as excitement
grows with the approach of Au-
gust 81.
To Speak At Ennis
President Cosgrave is scheduled to
speak on Sunday at Ennis, County
Glare, where the ferment resulting
from the arrest of De Valera has not
subsided.
De Valera was brought here from
Limerick early this morning. He
will undoubtedly have an important
influence in the campaign and his
election is everywhere conceded He
is likely to strengthen the republican
vote in County Clare and perhaps
De Valera Issue
Some of the eelction prophets aver
that the De Valera issue will help the
farmers and the laborites whose can
didates, they say, will in many places
defeat the republicans. As the farm
ers and the laborites, although anti
are not anti-treaty, it is
assumed that the treaty is safe at
least for the life of the next dali.

all-steel body built on a standard

nous Triplex springs and powered
with the larger Overland engine. EX-
elusive features, utilities and econo-
mics mark this model as a remarkably
convenient car warranted to give the
utmost in closed car benefits to the
In the Champion. the rear seat and
upholstery is entirely removable, pro-
viding fifty cubic feet of clear carry
ms. space. Apart from this. both front
and rear seats quickly adjust forward
and backward. The front seat adjusts
to three positions so that a tall driver
can move IL back to drive without leg
cramp and a short driver can move ii
forward so as to reach the pedals
without stretching. The rear seat can
be adjusted backward so that rear
seat passengers will not be crowded
when the front seat is moved back
Another clever feature OF this car
and characteristic Of the unusual
foresight in design. is the arrange
ment of both front and rear seats
which with the upholstery can be en-
tirely removed and made up into a
luxurious bed in the car. occupying
the whole length and width of the car
What a boon to the farmer and his
family who want to spend the night
away from home on a little hunting
iaunt.
But this does not end the many
amazing advantages included In the
Champion and perhaps the most out
standing superiority from the farm
er's viewpoint is the fifty cubic feet
OF space obtainable in the car by re-
moving the rear seat with the up
holstery. This arrangement leaves an
absolutely clear carrying space can
able of real service to the farmer who
can load his tools, bags of fodder,
