INSISTENT DEMAND FOR
new MODEL "CHEVEY"

T; DETROIT. Oct. 6.-Keeping
pace with the most insistent de-
mand in its history, the Chevrolet
Motor company has delivered
more than one million cars into
the hands of owners since the in
PRODUCTION of the popular Bigger
and Better" model last January
1st, it was announced at the com
pany's offices here today.
This sensational achievement of
delivering one million cars in nine
months is without a parallel in the
history of the manufacture Of
gear-shift cars and is seen as a
tribute to the manufacturing abil-
ity and far-sightedness Of the COM
pany. 1t is regarded here as a
further indication Of Chevrolet's
leadership as the worlds largest
automobile producer.
How Chevrolet to this height of
popular acclaim may be noted in
the fact that within ninety days
after the introduction of the new
car more than a quarter million
new Chevrolets were on the high
ways in the service Of their ow-
ners. Two months later, or on
June LIST, a half million cars were
in use from Maine to California.
Another two months saw 100000
Chevrolets providing dependable
transportation in every city, town
and hamlet in the Union. And
then came October when the full
million mark was achieved.
In order accommodate the de-
mand, new plants and additions to
present one were made necessary
in the many cities across the
country where Chevrolet now
manufacturing or as
sembling operations. Foremost
among these was the opening in
he Spring of a mammoth assem-
)ly plant in Atlanta, now the larg-
est automobile establishment in
he South.
Despite new plants and factory
additions, Chevrolet has been
working on a night and day basis
the first of the year in an
'ffort to keep pace with orders.
More than 10000 men, the great
st number ever on the Chevrolet
were employed to assist
n the production of the million
Bigger and Better models now on
he road.

Hoover and Curtis.
"By act of Congress in 1924, four
hundred thousand Indians were
given the right to vote for the first
time in the history Of the United
States" he said. "Since this bill
was passed too late to allow the
Indians to ballot in the last Pres1-
dental election, the coming cleo
ton will mark the first historic oc-
casion on which they will be privi-
legged to exercise their e~nfranchise-
ment. The Indian tribes of the
United States have S1,000,0 00, 900
one billion dollars-lying in the
treasury at Washington, d. c.,
much of which is tied up by litiga-
ton.
Hence, of all the people Of the
United States, it is the American
Indian who most needs a friend at
Washington. While | am neither
Republican nor Democrat-Catho-
lie nor Protestant-I advise the In
dams to think, and then vote for
Senator Charles Curtis, because If
he, born on the Kaw Indian Reser-
vatioI of Kansas, is not a friend
of the Indian, it is safe to assume
that we have none. | think it is a 20
incidence that will become historic,
that when the Indian finds himself
voting for the first time he finds
himself privileged to vote for the
first reservation-born Indian to be
nominated for Vice-President."

While the jury was celebrating as to whether the senator "a
guilty n not guilty, he was was dining with a group of friends at the
Park hotel Just as the meal was finished the beIlboy brought him
two sealed envelopes. One, which he opened first, was from a friend
informing him that the jury was ready to report and that, apparently
had found him not guilty. The other was a telegram from a Nurse that
Mrs. Wheeler had presented him with a daughter. In gratitude, Sena-
and Mrs. Wheeler made Montana a part of their new daughters name
If the predictions, freely made by members of both parties, prove
correct, a large majority of Montana voters will express their graft
tude to the senator at the November election for his distinguished SER
vices to both the state and the nation by rejecting him to the United
States senate.
