MANILA, P. l.. July 2s.-The
plebiscite on the independence ques-
ton, which has just been repassed
by the legislature here over Gov
Gen. Woods veto of last year, Is ex-
pected to cost the public treasury of
the islands several hundred thousa nd
dollars besides the time of many in
sular, provincial and municipal Of
hcials and employees. 1t will prove
nothing not already known; the chief
objective seems to be to get Gen
Woods veto overruled by President
Coolidge, there being provision for
such an appeal. and add one more
argument to the doctrine that Wood
unnecessarily antagonizes the native
element in the government.
There is the hope that II Presi-
dent Coolidge votes the project, he
will then be face to face with the
Philippine question as a national
issue.

Possible Candidates.

The formal opening of the North

Friday evening of last week was at
tended by over 1000 guests of the
company.
They came for many miles in
every direction and Manager Thomas
says that it demonstrated to his en-
tire satisfaction the efficacy of pub
licity handled by the Herald.
The Northwest Motor Sales Com
pany are dealers and distributors for
this section for the Oldsmobile. The
large garage had been thoroughly
renovated and presented a very at
tractive appearance. Different models
of the Oldsmobile were on display
but no attempt was made to interest
the visitors in the purchase of any of
the models.
A feature of the new garage is the
cosy and inviting rest quarters for
women and children. The toilets and
lavatories have been put in sanitary
condition and tits the purpose of
Mr.. Thomas to keep them in that
condition.
An idea of the magnitude of the
crowd can be ascertained by the fact
that 100 gallons of soft drinks were
consumed.
The rear of the garage was pre-
pared for dancing and there were
about 200 couples on the floor con-
tinuously from 900 until after mid
night. Music was furnished by the
Breen Hotel orchestra of St. Cloud
The plan followed by the North,

their business and introducing them

ment was expressed by those in at,
