By this time one of your salesmen had rallied around and began volunteering some startling information, the outstanding feature of which was the fact that the car would do seyenty-fiye mile per hour.
 T stopped him at that point--1 was very sympathetic. mind you-and told him that quite underst ood that what with the worry of the show and all that sort of thing, one was liable to get a bit 'foggy.' and advised him to rest for an hour or so and take a couple of aspirin tablets. But he stuck to his guns and insisted oh this sev- enty-fiye miles per hour business. Z Well, Mf.

NEW JCHRYSLER SIX PLEASES AVIATOR
British Flyer Lauds Performance
 Of New Auto

Praise which has fallen to the
 Chrysler Six has not come from any
 one group. The opinion that the
 Chrysler is an exceptional piece of en- gineering work and of wonderful body
 design is not confined alone to auto
 motive engineers and experts.
 At the various shows throughout
 the country, where the Chrysler has
 been shown, motor car builders, mo-
 tor car engineers, motor car dealers and motor car owners have been one
 in conveying their high approval of the car.
 Walter P. Chrysler has received nu- merous letters from various prom inent men in the industry and from numbers of people greatly interested in motor mechanics. One letter of which he is most proud came from Captain F. D. c. Herne. prominent British aviator, considered an au- thority oh internal combustion en- zines. Mir. Chrysler has good reasons to take pride in having received let ter such as Captain Herne's. Here it is; you can judge for yourself:
 After twenty years experience with motor cars of all nationalities, during five of which I served my ap- premiership in the largest automobile factory in Europe, after many years flying on all types of aeroplanes, in various parts of the world, both be- fore, during and since the war, it takes something very unusual in the way of internal combustion engines to arouse in me even the slightest de- gree of enthusiasm; so I am sure that you will pardon complete stranger taking the liberty of addressing you ing the Chrysler car,
 T happened to be strolling through the Commodore lounge yesterday aft ernoon, and noticing crowd gather ing around something, went to inves- tigate.

provided means of livelihood for hun
 dreds of thousands of men; it has
 opened new and tremendous markets
 for such allied industries as steel, rub
 her, glass, lumber and leather; the
 building industry. through the annual
 erection of thousands of private and
 public garages, has benefited; road
 building, entailing the employment of thousands, has reached a point of de-
 velopment surpassing even the eNpec-
 tations of the good road advocates of ten years ago. In like manner hotels and merchants in towns throughout the entire country have enjoyed in creased business through the army of tourists that travel the roads from early summer until late fall.
 But while the motor car has assist ed materially in the development of this country one Of it's most important contributions to the welfare of the nation is unknown to most people, and that is the enormous tax if pays toward the support of the govern ment. From every standpoint of sound and unprejudiced reasoning the auto m obile is an essential, yet it has been singled out to bear a per cent tax placed on all motor cars. motor trucks and parts. In word. it is taxed as though it were luxury, whereas it is the worlds most advanced and most economical method of performing the same functions as the wagon, the farm implement and other essentials that are viewed purely as necessities to the industrial life of the nation and which are unburdened by an excise tax.
 During the past year alone this 5 per cent excise tax on motor cars has brought to our government the stag yering total of more than one hun fred million dollars. Contract this sum with the totll amounts received i 1y the government in the same period i rom some states in the union and it . will open your eyes. l am not un- | of the necessity of taxation . with respect to the tremendous bur len of debt entailed by the world war . ut with 14000.000 motor cars in this country filling a fundamental need or rapid and economical transporta- ion there are few today who serious V regard the automobile as luxury.

STYLES FOR 1924
Latest Modcs in England Call For Women's Dresses of Almost Boyish Simplicity.

London, Feb. 27.-Boyish simplic- ity will be the predominant note in women's styles for 1924, the English fashion mentors and dressmakers have decreed. Short, semi-fltting gowns. falling perfectly straight down the figure in bold, steamline effect, will be worn with turn-down white Eton collars and turn back cuffs.
 The natural contour of the body, both front and back. will be subor- dinated in order to achieve youthful, boyish straightness and angularity. The women will be practically without any waists, and where any attempt is made to achieve one it will be at the top of the hips.
 A further touch of masculinity will be imparted by the adoption of bob

 most three times that number of cars today and plans for even greater production mean that before the close Of the 1924 season "saturation" will be nearer realty.
 When "saturation" in this country Is reached, there will be a very large annual replacement market. but it will be more or less definite market and competition among manufactur- CTS and dealers will be far keener than at any time in the past. The lines of battle already are defined and the 1924 season, more than any other period in the history Of the automo- bile will be q year of the survival of the Ntest.

FORMER SENATOR CLAPP NOW
FOR LA TOILETTE

Moses E. Clapp, for sixteen years
a Republican Senator from the State
of Minnesota, has formally declared
for Senator La Toilette.
LA Follette's fight in his state and
for the last twenty years in the Sen
ate is the outstanding example Of
this generations contribution in
America to mans age-long struggle
for freedom against the forces which
in one form or another seek to en-
slave him." says Senator Clapp in a
formal statement issued to the press.
"In season and out, he has fought the
good fight; he has never wavered; he
has never compromised. There is no
sincerer figure in American public
life. At the time when the supreme
need is to restore what is best in
American tradition and to face the
new issues of the day with vision and

Florida Labor Body
Endorses La Toilette

st. Petersburg, Fla.-Unanimous
endorsement of the report of the
American Federation of Labor re-
garding the stand of organized labor
in the coming presidential election
and throughout the political cam
paign was voted by the executive
committee of the Central Labor I'm
ion at a meeting held at the Union
headquarters.
A committee was appointed which
will endeavor to acquaint the workers
as we'll as the general public with the
Federation's report and to handle all
activities of the local labor unions.
The committee is to be strictly non
partisan regarding endorsement of a
particular candidate, but will explain
the political planks agreeable to the
federation.
The report of the Federation, which
was read to the committee states that
the candidates adopted by both the
Democratic and Republican parties
are not acceptable to the Federation
1t also endorses in the main the plat
form prepared by Robert M. La Fol-
lette and Burton K. Wheeler.

LABOR FORCES TO ELECT KLEIN
AS JUDGE

Every Ohio labor union is being
circulated by The Klein for Judge
Committee to help in the state drive
to elect Nicholas Klein, Cincinnati
labor lawyer as Judge Of the Ohio
ran two years ago on a straight anti
injunction issue and came within a
few votes of election. The Commit
tee at the time claim he was counted
out
This time, the committee is leaving
no stones unturned to mobolize the
labor forces, the railway workers, the
miners, the factory hands and all
workers and farmers to elect Klein to
the Supreme Court bench. 1t must
be made plain that Klein is not run
ming for the long term-that he is
running for the Short Term.
There is no politics to this as all
names appear on a separate non-par-
tisan Judicial ballot in Ohio, and the
committee thinks here is a real
chance to seat labor judge for the
first time.
Labor has suffered enough from
strike breaking judges and their vile
injunctions, said Klein today. "My
one aim in seeking this office is to
destroy this vicious habit of using
judges to break labor strikes. | in
tend getting rid of government by
injunction judges, as we finally got
rid of witch-craft," said Klein such
judges are the great danger to a re-
public, they and they alone are
threatening to destroy government
by the people"
Klein was raised in Cincinnati and
made his way from the factory to the
night school and then the night law
school. He has been for over Is
years labor's lawyer and worker in
civic matters.

LA TOILETTE GAINING DAILY

No observing man will deny that
La Toilette is sweeping the nation.
Old-line politicians have lost out in
many sections where they dominated
the labor movement 1t is charged
that old-party money was used in
Indiana to elect delegates that would
block that state convention from in
dorsing La Toilette, but this failed.
In Connecticut the President Of the
State Federation Of Labor opposed
endorsement of any candidate in his
annual report, but the convention
bowled him over and indorsed La Fol
lette.
California, Arizona, Massachusetts,
Iowa, North Carolina, Vermont, Ill
inois, Tennessee, New York, Ohio and
other state federations have declared
for La Toilette, with other cOnven-
tions to be heard from.
The country never witnessed any
thing like this movement. 1t has ST.
fenced the near-progressives in the
old-party camps, and it will sweep a
fighting crowd of progressives into
the next congress.

THE STRAW VOTE

Straw vote time has arrived and
scores of agencies will be within the
next two months making predictions
of the outcome of the November con-
test. While straw votes fail to show
any positive results, they do show
which way the wind is blowing, and
probably more money has been made
betting in accordance with the straw
vote than the predictions made by po-
litical party chairmen. The straw
vote being taken in Ohio by several
large newspapers indicate without
question that honesty in public office
will be the real issue, and the candi-
dates, who by their past performances
have shown that they are not con-
trolled by business interests will lead
the ticket when the votes are count
ed in November. This applies to ev--
cry office on the state and national
tickets.

ger Of the new company, and promises
larger and better paper than the

his promise he will have to go some,

GENUINE AMERICANS

When you talk about genuine
Americans, don't overlook Uncle
Sans naval officials. They were the
lads who refused to be parties to the
oil game of DENLY and Fall These
officials now insist that no other ma
tion has longer range guns so they
may tear American ships to pieces.
But Coolidge and the international
Americans favor a second-rate navy.
They are disgusting the Prince of
Wales with their snobbery and their
refusal to let a decent minded chap
come and go in piece.

ENFORCING THE LAW?

The chick" dry raiders are enforc-
ing the liquor laws with a vengeance.
Last week they made a raid in the
northern part of the county. An
Italian was in a neighboring field and
becoming frightened at sight of the
officers, ran. Shots We're fired and
the Italian was fatally wounded.
When searched nothing was found on
him, it is said, to show that he was
guilty of breaking the law. He said
at the hospital that it was two hours
before the raiders consented to send
him to the institution, in the mean
time trying to force him to divulge
the name of his partner. The Italian
died. The dry raiders are out under
a small bond. That's prohibition en-
forcement.-Butler Co. Press.

IT'S MEANING

What is the nature and essence of
this La Toilette movement?
Its sense and meaning lies in a
great rising protest of the thinking,
progressive elements against all that
is corrupt, rotten and reactionary
in America. And Senaotr La Foil
cite, by his record and lifelong ac-
tivity, expresses this protest superb
ly. That's why La Toilette is the
man of the moment. That's why
there are gathering about him today
the best and politically cleanest men
and women of this country, and it
is really a joy to find in this great
company the chosen representatives
of the organized workers.-Justice.
