if B0xay and Greeley had never been born Bovay. 1t must be conceded, was the first person to set out in a reso- hte, persistent and practical way to form a new party and Greeley, through the New York Tribune, gave invaluable aud 1n making the party and name known to the country.
 Michigan Held First Convention
 Michigan claims the distinction of holding the first state convention of the republican party at Jackson, July 6. 1854. which nominated minor offi- eers to be elected that fall. Jacob How ard 0ne of the leading Michigan Whigs, reeeiEed q letter from. Greeley stating that Wisconsin was to hold a cOnven- tian a week later, at which time the name republican" was to be formally adapted,, and suggesting that Michigan select and take the honor away from the Badger state. This was done. Later, i'm the fall, Vermont, New York, Mas saehusetts and Pennsylvania took simi- lar action.
 Illinois, whether rightly or wrongly, claims the honor of being the birth place of the new party, asserting that it's principles were never placed so &C., euEately and SO conyincingly before the natinn until Abraham Lincoln deliv- cred his famous lost speech" at the state convention held in Bloomington Sn May 29, 1856. It is an extraOrdi- nary coincidence that one Illinois sen ator, Jesse B. Thomas, in 1920, intro dlIeed the bill known as the Missouri compromise i; another Illinois senator, stephen A. Douglas, 34 years later, brought about the repeal of that meas ure; while it fell to the lot of another Hllinoisan, Abraham Lincoln, not only to lead the forces which put an effec- tual check upon the further spread of slavery, but to give vitality to the act whieh was to wipe out the institution.
 Illinois, in asserting it's claims for recognition as being the birthplace of the republican party, holds that the great majority of the meetings of 1854 im- relation to a new party. utilized the name of ti-Nebraskan," while the gatherings held in Bloomington that year unequivOcally used the word re publican" It is further maintained that the Illinois state convention. held in Maieras hall, still standing in Bloom fngten. on May %, 1856. was the real launching, and that all other gatherings Wasa simply preliminary.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The name of W. G. McAdo will be presented to the democratic convention by former United States Senator James D. Phelan of San Francisco. Mir. Phelan is in Paris. In response to cable from Mr Nc Adoo requesting him to make the nom mating speech, Mir. Phelan cabled his acceptance.
 The former senate is one of the most prominent Catholic laymen in Califor- mia. For seventy years the Phelan family has been connected with the fi- nancial growth of San Francisco. The selection of the former senator appears to be a drive by Mir. McAdoo against gossip involving hin. with the klan.

EYES OF CITY AND STATE TURN TOWARD SPRING AUTO SHON
Live and Learn

In cold weather watch the ra-
diation system. Use a good
cleaning mixture to remove scale
and mud. Also an anti-freeze
spirit should be used.
In case your motor win not
start, don't keep flooding the car
buretor. Prime the motor by
putting gas in the petcocks. If
this doesn't work, look for ig-
milton trouble.
A little attention to your car
will make it last much longer
and give much better service. If
you still drove a horse you would
see that it was fed and watered
regularly. and a car needs just as
regular treatment.
See that your brakes are prop
erly set If you leave your car on
an incline, and also turn your
front wheels toward the curb
It is best not to start or stop
suddenly, nor to skid round cor
ners. The strain set up in your
tires by that form Of misuse IL
terrific.
Don't run the motor in a closed

Gas Can Danger

The cap of the gasoline tank filler
has in 1t a small hole-if the gasoline
system Is Of the gravity feed type.
This is to allow air to enter the tank
so that the gasoline flowing out will
not leave vacuum. which will finally
become so strong as to stop the flow
Of gasoline to the carburetor. When
gasoline fails to reach the carburetor
at any time, make sure that this vent
is open before looking for stoppage.-

Under! James

A lot of goodwill comes from
the present program Of some deal
ers to encourage car owners to
perform for themselves the many
small repairs and adjustments
that heretofore have been either
grated from the dealer. or else
purchased at an extravagant
price, according to the dealers
own protective impulses.
Primarily. the average car own
er will learn a good many things
about his car that he never
dreamed of before and which will
do him no harm to know. He
will learn to expect less Of his
car, and better appreciate the
good service that Is built into the
average machine. Furthermore,
he will learn that many CT his
past difficulties were distinctly
the fault of his own neglect.
