MOTOR CLUB OFFICIAL
CALLS FUTURE ROSY

Motordom and the automobile in
dustry never enjoyed a brighter out
look than they do today, according to
j. Borton Weeks, president of the
keystone Automobile Club.
Unmistakable signs of lasting re-
covery in the motor industry are seen
by Mr.. Weeks as presaging not Only a
tremendous replacement of obsolete
cars but also a correlative develop
ment in the Nations highways to
meet a vastly increased motor vehicle
registration.
I'VE believe, on the basis of past
performance, that car ownership will
follow in direct ratio to the facilities
created for motor use, and we are
looking forward to a greater revival
in the highway industry, with motor
taxes used exclusively for road ex-
tension and improvement" he said.

TORONTO, Ontario, June 23.-
While stock and security mar
kets move in narrow range
L the major indices of business
in Canada show steady prog
ress, with improvement sufficient in
most divisions to Offset the normal
slowing down in demand during the
Summer months.
The markets stand out in vivid
contrast to the activity of a year
ago. In June, 1888, prices were
bounding upward in a sensational
manner.
The Toronto stock market goes into
the second year of the recovery with
trading dull and prices failing to
make much progress. Two outstand-
ing groups are the gold mines and
the oils. Both groups have excep-
tionally good records during the de-
preston years. The gold mines, with

dividends from year to year, while
the leading oil companies, with one
exception, have been able to pay
their regular dividend requirements
In spite Of decreased earnings.

TO GIVE ADDRESSES
INCAP|TAL TONIGHT
Speaking at Auditorium at 8
P. NJ; Mrs. LANCER to
Close Here Monday

Candidates in the election next
Tuesday reared down the stretch Fri
day in q vigorous finish to their cam
paign.
High spot in the Bismarck scene
was the appearance here tonight of
Thomas Noodle. Democratic candi-
date for governor. who will appear at
the city auditorium at 8 p. M. Speak
ing with him will be John Moses,
candidate for attorney general.
Noodle will go from here Unto the
northern part Of the state for the
close Of his campaign Monday night
with q gigantic rally at Williston.
Mrs. Lydia LANCER. Republican can
didate. will close her campaign with
an address here Monday night.
Meanwhile, resounding political
phrases are echoing through the halls
Of nearly every rural school house as
the campaigners grid for the final
effort.
Despite the activity of political
managers and workers, however, re-
ports from many sections tell of q
quietude on the part Of residents In
many sections. These observers COM
ment that the people are not saying
much but they will do plenty of vOt-
ing.
Indications are that a vote APP
preaching the record set at the 1882
election when President Roosevelt, a
Democrat, and Senator Gerald p.
Nye, a Republican, swept the state
by overwhelming majorities, will be
polled on Tuesday.
In addition to state and county
contests, battles for local office are
intense in many districts and will
assist in getting the voters to the
polls.

pared the apparent temper of the
people to the situation which existed
in the sales tax election Of 1888. In

ment by the average citizen but when
the votes were counted the sales tax,
enacted upon demand Of the LANCER
administration, was overwhelmingly
defeated.
Crowds at political meetings adj
dressed by headliners Of both parties
have been good but minor candidates
have had trouble getting an extensive
hearing.
Unbiased reporters also comment
upon the questioning attitude Of
many gatherings and the evident de-
sire to learn the facts upon which to
base judgment.
Assisting the Democratic effort
have been Senator Gerald P. Nye,
who carried the Republican state
ticket to victory with him two years
ago; Governor Ole H. Olson and +.
H. H. Thoresen. heads Of the anti
LANCER Nonpartisan group.
