ESZs& "a Berlin they have
the first car made
in Germany, and perhaps the World.
for 1t was mado In 1881, It only had
three wheels. It was the Beng made
by Karl Benz. But up to going to
press he has not been able TO get 1t.
Was you ever through that place
In Derborn where he has all the old
Vehickles stored? II you rode in your
young days in an old wagon, or sled,
or buggy and have in your old years
of reminencing wondered what become
Of It its right In Henry Fords shed.
never saw in all my born days as
much plumber as there is In there.
Old thrashing Machines, dozens Of EN-,
old saw mill engines, old fire Engines,
Old Handsom Cabs. Everything I'm.
der the sun that ever dragged one per-
son from one place to another is In
there, SO cen sure imagine how he
must have wanted that old crate.
Well Sir before you know It there
will be another election along to poster
us. What they have those things for
nobody has ever been able to tell.
It's just to distribute the Jobs around
so one man wont have 1t all the time.
Most of the men that are In are try.
ing to stay in and all that are out are
trying to get In. This Is what they
call an off year. What they mean by
that is everybody is running but the
President.
These off years the Democrats gen.
orally make pretty good showing,
and this fall looks like their chance
to get gang OF Guys in the Senate
and House. OF course they will or
set what advantage they have by split
ting among themselves, on the wet
and dry plan. They will make that an
issue when It's only a habit
Funny race up in Massachusetts.
They dug up fellow named Coolidge,
an Irishman, and a Democrat. He used
to be Mayor of Fitchburg, along when
Calvin was Mayor Of Northampton.
They claim this fellow is no kin to
Calvin. But | know one time up In
Vermont l was playing town. think
1t Rutland or somewhere, and in my
audience that night, had been tipped
off was first Cousin of Calls aud he
was a Democrat, and l had a lot Of
fun kidding with him. Met him after
wards and he was dandy fellow. I
don't know how he got strayed of from
the herd while they was all going
orthadox. He, (this fellow Coolidge)
is running against william Butler. an
old friend of Mr.. Calvin Coolidge's.
oh yes and this other Coolidge that's
running is wet! Imagine wet Cool
idge! Nature does produce some queer
angles. Don't know II Mr.. Coolidge
will take the stump to help out his
old friend or not. He Is still working
on his daily Column and can always
say he is too busy. He is mighty
schrewd and knows how to keep out
of these home-talent fights. New York
pretty near everybody is running as
wet. Both Republicans and Demo-
cratic know there is more wet votes
than there is dry ones so they both
jump that way. That shows right there
that the whole thing is not on the
level, for everyone of these public men
come out just according to the way
the wind is blowing where they live.
Now some OF them must have some
personal opinion that is not just along
with the majority Of voters all the
time.
New Jersey Morrow took a brave
stand when 1t meant something. He
wasent sure he was on the right side
or not, but he come out against It.
Not that 1t might have been the right
thing to do, but 1t at least planted him
as a man with his own opinion and
he was willing to stand by It. But
with all the messing and argueing over
1t at the election It wont mean thing.
Nothing is going to be done about It
any more than farm relief, or unem-
ployment relief.
Ohio they got so scared at their
convention, they was afraid to do any
