ASSAILS TWO-THIRD RULE
Senator Ashurst Says
unit Rule" Also
Is Obsolete
LAURA VITRAY

Convinced the two-thirds NOM
ination rule in Democratic con-
ventions has "cost the Demo
Gratis the presidency two or three
times" in the past, and that it
is unjust and indefensible, Sen
ator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona,
today placed his name alongside
of party chieftainS who will urge
its abolition this year.
Senator Ashurst asserts also
that the unit rule" which binds
many State delegations at conven-
tions also should go. The dis
carding of the two-thirds rule, he
is sure, will be of only partial
party benefit unless the unit plan
of voting in State delegations
also is abandoned. Senator
Ashurst said:
"The twO-thirds rule in our
conventions is unjust, tricky,
tyrannical and standing
menace to the Democratic
party. However, the abolition
of the two-thirds nomination
rule will be of only partial help
unless we discard along with
it the unit rule that binds
many State delegations. This
operates frequently to thwart
the will of the majority of the
convention"

THE DANCE OF LIFE

THE DANCE OF LIFE
If you have read Havelock Ellis interesting book
under the above title, you will recall how he
points out that science and art alike are founded
in the secret rhythms of nature. Science seeks
to present these secrets to our minds, while art
interprets them to our emotions So the two go
hand in hand, and the great exponent of each rec.
ognizes and rejoices in his kinship with the other.
This relation of science and art is often illus.
trated in modern manufacture - brilliantly, we
point out, in the case of the automobile Here,
by happy alliance, pre-eminent artists are today
joined with pre.eminent scientists-craftsmen
from the custom shops OF Fleetwood and engi.
neers from Cadillac's great laboratories. The
result is combination SO naturally harmonious
and SO supremey capable that the fruit of its
labors is something which cannot be pictured
in the light of any previous accomplishments
in custom coachcraft
This you may determine for yourself, for the
supreme expression of Fleetwood coachcraft is
now presented in various models of the new
Cadillac va, VIZ and VIC. In these cars you
will see, as nothing else can show you, how
men, too, may blend beauty and usefulness, just
as it is done in the works of nature.
