Cars Are Wider, Roomier.
Longer and Lower Than
Present Models.

Heralded as "the finest Buick ever
built" the 1888 line of this pop
ular General Motors car today is
presenting new standard for mo-
tor car beauty, comfort and value
to the motorists here and through
out the country.
These 1888 cars have, besides the
tested fundamental Buick design,
new qualities of modern styling,
Smoothness, stability, riding COM
fort, reliability and value In adj
dition to the many improvements in
appearance, style and performance,
they introduce for the fixst time
the Fisher No-Draft, individually
controlled, ventilation system.
The cars are longer, wider, lower
and more roomy this year and these
structural Improvements harmonic
with the new sweeping windstream
lines, which are ultra-modern, but
not extreme.
Increased Size Apparent
The increased size of the Buick is
apparent at first glance. More than
four inches have been added to the
wheelbase of the SO Series, bringing
it to 119 inches. The go Series
wheelbaSe has been increased from
118 to 1877 inches; the 80 Series
wheelbase has been heightened
from 1876 to 100 inches, and the 80
Series from 1874 to 1873 inches.
Added roonineSs and improved
stability have been obtained by
widening the treads from 5715
inches to SO inches in the front and
from SO to 6O1a inches at the rear
wheels.
The front view of the new Buick
is radically new. A new mesh, dull
chromium finished radiator grill is
of graceful V-Shape contour. Fend-
ers are low and broad and are
mounted with radiator and head
lamps so that frame distortion will
not be transferred to these units.
New Type of Wheel
A new artillery type steel wheel
is introduced by Buick. These are
Of 17-ipch diameter with large hubs

GLASS RAPS POLICY
ON FOREIGN LOANS
State Department Accused of
"DisgracefuI Subterfuge"
in Reply to Roosevelt.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LYNCHBURG, Va, August 23.-
United States Senator Carter Glass
tDemocraD, in statement issued at
his home here yesterday, accused the
State Department of "diSgraceful sub
terfuge" in its reply to foreign loan
charges made by Franklin D. Roose-
velt in his speech at Columbus, Ohio,
Saturday.
Senator Glass said he planned to
again present the indubitable facts to
the public" regarding the successful
notation of millions of dollars of worth
portfolios of banks throughout the
country"
The statement follows:
THE State Departments characteri-
zation Of the charge as 'diScredited
story together with its explanation of
the circumstances, amounts to a dis
graceful subterfuge, if not to downright
mendacity. The same explanation
was given to the United States Senate
and was fatty rejected.
THE recorded facts showed it to be
utterly false, and the Senate. without
single dissenting vote. warned the
State Department against continu-
alton of this dangerous usurpation of
authority.
That department is responsible for
the successful f1otation of millions Of
dollars of worthless foreign securities,
now choking the portfolios Of banks
throughout the country, and as soon as
my physician releases me shall again
present the indubitable facts to the
public.
Meanwhile the resolution Of the
United States Senate. unanimously
adopted and never officially combated,
should suffice to expose the equivoca-

LONG TRIPS JONAHS
No Presidential Candidate
l. Making One Ever Got
Into White House.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

NEW YORK, August 23.-The Roose-
welt managers don't believe in Jonahs.
They are going ahead with their plans
for an 8.000-mile trip for the Demo-
cratic nominee in the face of the fact
that no presidential candidate who has
made long campaign trip in the last
40 years has ever reached the White
House.
William Jennings Bryan, who ran in
1896 and 1900 and then again in 1908,
was the most widely Travelled of all
presidential candidates of recent his
tory. and lost each time William Nc
Kinley in 1896 and again in 1900 in
augurated the famous front porch"
campaign in Canton, Ohio.
Recalls 1904 Campaign.
Four years later Theodore Roosevelt
spent most of his time in Oyster Bay
and the Democratic nominee. Alton B.
Parker, didn't travel much either But
in 1908 Bryan went across and up and
down the country, while Taft made a
few speeches here and there. In 1912.
Wilson went as far as Colorado, but
not to the Coast. His only transcon-
tinental journey as President was i'll
fated. He went out Jon behalf of the
League of Nations and lost; in fact he
broke down in health.
In 1916 Mr.. Hughes made trans
continental trip and when he was in
California the famous episode in which
he was supposed to have Snubbed Hiram
johnson occurred, and this is believed
to have cost him the presidency. Mr..
Wilson stayed on the front porch at
Shadow Lawn, N. j., and won.
In 1920 Mr. Cox went TO the coast
and was defeated while Mr.. Harding
tried at Marion, Ohio, the Mckinley
idea of front porch campaign and
won.
Coolidge Avoided Trip.
In 1924 Mr.. Coolidge made no cam
paign trip, while his opponent. John w.
Davis. travelled. In 1928, both Mr..
Hoover and Mr. Smith made extensive
trips, but neither went as far as the
coast in what is known in politics as
o swing around the circle.
Another President who went to the
Coast during his term and met mis-
fortune was Mr.. Harding, who died in
San Francisco. 1t Is recalled that Mr..
Taft, after his election, made trips to
the Coast in the hope of bolstering up
his political fences, but his attempts
were failures.
Maybe the radio changes political
customs and, since the voice can be
heard across the continent, the candi-
dates need not travel in person. But
Mr.. Roosevelt is insisting on trans
continental journey. The record shows
the American people like to hear and
read what their candidates have to say,
but they do not necessarily like to see
them.
