ITALY VOTING TODAY;
fascist FAR IN LEAD
Only 25 Per Cent Of Total Vote
Required, as Opposition
Strength Is Divided.
OTHER PARTIES ARE WEAK
Decisive Results Cannot Be Known
for Days.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
ROME, April 5.-The Italian par
liamentary elections will be held to-
morrow. With victory certain. the
Fascist have only to muster out their
vote, while the opposition, because
of lack of effective countrywide or
ganizations, are depending on the in
clination of the voters to give them
a chance to gather in a few minority
seats. A Fascist victory depends
alone on getting the required Is per
cent OF those casting ballots.
The opposition strength is divided.
and there is no opposition party
which will be able to gather strength
through the peninsula
If on the strength OF the last cleo
tions, the seats were assigned ac-
cording to the present law, the ma
tional ticket would have 356 seats,
leaving 179 for the others. These
would be allotted as follows: 81 seats
to the socialists, So to the Catholics,
30 to the democrats, IA to the reform
lists, 10 to the communists, to the
republicans and four to other fac
tions.
When it is considered that the So
cialists' strength is almost broken,
besides being divided, it is highly un-
likely that they will be able to gath
er sixty seats in the whole of Italy.
The Catholic party, TOO. is at a dis
advantage by splits and lack of or
ganization. Also, the entrance of
numerous other parties. such as those
headed by GioIitti, Bonomi, Amen
dola and Colonna di Cesaro, reduces
chances to such an extent that Ii
would seem that no minority party
will be able to capture fifty seats.
The election machinery under the
present law is so complicated that 1t
will be days before any decisive re-
suits are known.

He never worries about his car He never gets

cost is predetermined and guaranteed.
Money in your pocket and better running ear.
With all the foregoing true, why don't we sell
more Packards?
Because nine out Of ten men think they can
not afford Packard" and never come near
US TO learn differently.
Its price is much less than most mer think
1t is often bought on a deferred payment plan
which adds but $1,000 to its cost.
1t actually costs less to operate and maintain
than any other sizeable car on earth as far as
we Knowles ever than many of the smallest

EARS ago, men bought paper-soled
They don't do it any more
Why?
Because they have learned that the
secret Of owning better shoes is to buy good
ones and wear them out.
Today, many men are still buying "paper-soled"
motor cars.
Why?
Because they don't know as much about motor
cars as they do about shoes.
They have yet to learn the secret of owning a
good motor car-aoedrsng it out instead of trad
snO It out.
We want every man who buys a Packard to
wear it out
The man who trades his car in every two years
or 80 is working for Uncle Sam, the railroads
and three automobile men.
On each car he has to pay war tax-a freight
charge-a makers profit-a distributors profit,
and salesman's commission.
Once every five years more is often enough
to open ones pocketbook for such expenditures.
1t costs no more to wash and polish a Packard
than lower priced car.
No more to garage one.
16 to 1S or more miles to the gallon of gasoline.
$4,000 to 10000 or more miles to set Of tires.

BISHOP SCORES AT
 RECENT CONVENTION

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The re cent conventions of the great po- litical parties were criticised by Rt. Reverend Bernard J. Mahoney, bish- op of Sioux Falls, s. D., before the national convention of the Knights of Columbus today.
 'The gatherings which should have crystalized the soul of America made a concession to cowardice," he said, because of the fear that the quest for votes might suffer by an expres- sion of opinion on the movement abroad that would eliminate Catho- lies from the privileges of citizenship and the emolumentS of public life"
 Bands of men who "at the foot of flaming cross are gambling away the seamless garment of our nation al happiness" were bitterly denounc- ed. 'In this land of the free and the home of the brave," he continued, i've are confronted with the specta- cle of men who would make war on others with the stealth of a guilty conscience and courage of the under world"
 The membership of the Knights of Columbus on June 50 1924, was 77O,- 324, Supreme Secretary Williams an- nounced.

Mrs. Charles Lechner X <.
 Passes Away Suddenly

The city was inexpressably shock ed this morning when the news of the death of Mrs. Charles Lechner, one of the most popular young ladies of the city, was broadcast about the streets. Mrs. Lechner's death was caused by an attack of acute indiges- tion, and came suddenly at o'clock this morning, after a few moments illness The deceased came to Sew~ ard about two years ago, as Miss Peggy Hughes, and was united in marriage about a year ago to Chas. Lechner, proprietor of the Seward Machine Shops, of this city.
 Full of vitaliy and energy, Mrs. Lechnes made many friends, and in lodge and social work was one of our foremost citizens. Her untimely death is mourned by every person knowing her. Deceased leaves, be- sides loving husband, mother, and several sisters and brothers. She was a member of the Eastern Star and Rebekah lodges, and attended the latter lodge last night taking an ac- tive part in it's affairs. MT. Lech ner will leave on the steamship Yu- kon for Seattle, where the remains will be inferred.
 Funeral services were held at the mortuary chapel this afternoon, under the auspices of the Eastern Star.
