No factions Favored.
The ma ma cement of the National
Democrat" he continued, will not
favor any faction in the party. 1t will
not be published in the interest of
any candidate nor will it attempt to

Lack of adequate publicity has
been the greatest handicap of the
Democratic party in State and ma
tional politics. Special privileges fos-
tered by the Republican party largely
control the press of the country.

BOARD TO SELECT
AIR RACE PILOTS
Gen. Patrick Arranging for
Annual Aviation Meet at
Mitchell Field.

Mai Gen. Mason M. Patrick. chief
of the Army Air Service, today ap-
pointed a board of four officers to
select racing pilots for the annual air
meet to be hid this year at Mitchell
Field, Long Island, N. Y. The racing
pilots will be selected from nomina-
tions sent in to the office of the chief
of Air Service from the various Air
Service fields throughout the country
The board is composed of Brig. Gen.
James e. Fechet. assistant chief of
the Air Service; Maj. w. G.. Kilner,
executive; Maj Carl Spatz and Lieut.
Earl S. Hoag.
Board Confronted by Problem.
The biggest task before the board
is to select an Army aviator to fly
the new high-speed airplane now being
built for the Pulitzer race. The rec
ord for this race is held by Lieut.. A.
j. Williams sof the naval air station
here, who, in 1923, at st. Louis, flew
the course at 243.67 miles an hour.
The Navy again will be represented
in the race by one pilot and plane,
but no announcement of the flyer s
name has yet been made.
The high-speed Jobs are under
construction by the Curtis Aeroplane
and Motor Co. of Garden City, Long
Island, 10 be paid for jointly by the
Army and Navy. One plan is to leave
the third plane on the ground and
divide the two between the Army and
Navy. Another is to give two of the
planes to the Army and one to the
Navy and after the race to enter them
in the Schneider Cup contest at Bal
timore the latter part of October, two
of them going under the Navy flag
and the third under the Army This
question, however, has not yet been
settled, but indications are that in
any event the Army will be represent
ed in the competition for the sea-
plane trophy of the world against
entries from France, Great Britain
and Italy.
