THE SMITH BOOM

While the Democrats in the East are consolidating their
forces in behalf of the presidential candidacy of Governor Smith,
there are evidences that his boom is making Roadway in the
territory of his potential opponents. Marion L. Fox, executive
secretary of the McAdoo Campaign Committee in 1924, is of
the opinion that it would be party suicide for the Democrats to
name anyone else in 1928. He is thoroughly familiar with
the temper of the Democratic voters in the West and South.
Hence he believes that only a Democratic candidate who, like
Governor Smith, has a strong following in the East and North
has a chance to succeed. Samuel w. Fordyce, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee of Missouri, likewise is i'm
pressed with the chances of Governor Smith. While he declares
that Missouri will give it's "favorte-son" vote to Senator Jim
Reed, ne intilnates that failure of Senator Reeds candidacy
would throw Missouris vote to Governor Smith.
These are Indications of a drift of sentiment toward the
Smith candidacy that is easily understandable. Many Democrats
feel that, win or lose, he must have his chance. If he does not
have a try at the Presidency in 1928, he will be seeking it in
1882, and an effort to delay that chance might create an even
more uncomfortable situation.

tion, if they are in any way entertaining the thought that their

tempered to them by a complacent retiring President, they are
far from the mark. Coolidge has never been a man to quit be-

Joe Lusingnan. of stockton. Cal,
in a round trip from that city to
Grants Pass, Ore. Lusignan, de-
spite the adverse road and weather
conditions encountered, maintained
an average speed of AZ miles on
the perilous trip.
The journey was arranged as a
severe test for the Whippet, the
route selected being well known as
an extremely hazardous one.
In describing the journey, Lusig-
nan said: mile after mile and hour
after hour we ran the motor at
practically top speed, making. Sac
ramento. a distance of so miles in
one hour and one minute. We
kept the throttle wide open and
were able to keep up a fine rate
of speed, even on the dangerous
curves for the Whippet fo~ur-wheel
brakes responded to every touch.
MANY miles that we covered
were through rain swept roads"
Lusignan was accompanied on the
journey by Walter Mowrs who act
ed as official observer.
Even though all conditions were
adverse for the trip. the Whipped
maintained a remarkable low fuel
and oil consumption and at the
end of the journey an examination
of the Whippet's motor disclosed
that it was functioning perfectly.
The car used was a stock car that
had been driven $4,000 miles.

A GREAT MONTH

For three things are we grateful to the month of September.
They are Fall, football and oysters. A more popular trio is diff
ficult to imagine and as the good things in life usually come
singly we are thrice thankful for the providence of September.
There is an axiom that oysters are in season in the eight
months of the year having the letter RI in their names. We
are not informed whether there is an affinity between these
months and oysters because the letter "R' is also in the word
oyster or it is just a coincidence. Neither do we know the
discoverer of the circumstance and the author Of the axiom.
However, it is neither axiom nor secret that we are glad Sep
TENDER has an "R" somewhere among her nine letters and we
are not particular in what style the first oysters are served.
To September also are we indebted for fair autumn. Where
the summer is hot and the winter cold there is no season quite
so delightful as autumn. 1t is without the extremes of temper
ature, is comfortably warm at day and somniferously cool at
night, is an aid to efficient work and an irresistible urge to rec
reation. In all it is a season in which to live to the utmost.
the first shril blast of the referees whistle. The nation in
September turns it's eyes away from vacations and baseball
to feast them upon the gridiron. Recent development of foot
ball in the colleges, universities, public schools and athletic clubs
has made it a national sport where once it was strictly a
college game. When football season opens the whole nation is
kin, class barriers erected by education are dropped and player
and spectator play the game for all there is in it.
Every month of the years twelve has something which
makes life worth while but September seems most bountifully
endowed with the better attractions"
