It was pointed out In the COM

employed at the station, several Of
them have been on duty for thirty
years and more. Such men, they
point out, would encounter difficult

PARTY LABELS
FORGOTTEN
FOR 1896
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

Men and issues" will replace
party labels in the 1886 presi'
Dental election. it was generally
conceded here today by leaders
in both major parties.
AS put in the words of Senator
William E. Borah CRD of Idaho,
frequently mentioned as Repub-
lican presidential possibility:
THE people are no longer in
tereSted in party labels. The
great party spirit built up since
the days of Hamilton and JEFF
ferSOn is dead. People now are
interested only in men and is
sues. The next election will be
fought and determined on men
and issues. Only politicians are
interested in party labels"
Democrats Agree
Democratic leaders privately
conceded Borah was correct.
The Republicans will make a
definite effort to win the support
of constitutional JefferSonian
Democrats" a campaign already
approved by the Republican ma
tional committee. The G. o. P.
will go so far, privately and pub
licly, as to pledge Democrats, who
oppose President RooSevelt's re-
election. participation in the next
administration if the Republicans
win. That will mean Cabinet posts
and legislative influence for lead
ers of revolving Democrats who
aid the Republican cause.
President Roosevelt will make a
definite bid for support from the
cleft wing" of the Republican
party. In this he will be helped
by Senator George w. Norris,
Nebraska Republican insurgent,
and by Senator Robert La Toilette,
Wisconsin Progressive. He hopes
for help, too. from other prominent
Republican Liberals.

lOW-PRICE FIELD
{, PROSPECTS GOOD
Chevrolet General Sales Manager
Optimistic Over Buying Of
1885 Cars.

The year 1885 will be one in which
the sales of low-cost cars should forge
even further ahead of their more
expensive fellows than has been the
case during the past few years, ac-
cording to w. E. Holier, Chevrolet
general sales manager.
The 1885 purse has not recovered
che contours that it lost when depres-
sion ended the flush years of the 20's.
Sale volume inevitably will 60 to those
cars whose price tags match the
modest buying capacity of that purse.
American standards of living have
suffered during the depression. The
automobile, aptly described as "the
extension of the home" has suffered
also, but only in price. Its quality
and value have risen steadily year
by year, while its price has been
carefully held to match the purchas-
ing power of its market.
There are upward of 100000 old
cars in the lowest price class still on
the highways Of America. Further
more, q great sector of potential
buyers, who normally would have pur-
chased q medium or even a high
bf1ced car, have had to make their
selections largely on the basis of price.
Naturally, total new-car sales have
been down throughout the depres-
sion, with the low price automobile
acquiring a steadily increasing share
Of the available market.

TRUCK OUTPUT THIRD
HIGHEST IN HISTORY
1888 Total Exceeded by 65 Per
Cent, With Favorable Busi.
ness Effect.

American motor truck manufactur-
ers have closed the book on q year in
which approximately $4,000 motor
truck units were produced. according
to A. j. Brosseau, Mack Trucks presi-
dent.
This output exceeded the 1888 total
of 358,614 by IS per cent. The 1884
production Of truck units was the
third highest In the history Of the
industry and was surpassed only by
the totals of 1929 and 1880.
Trucks produced last year had a
wholesale value of $305, 100000. The
equivalent figure for 1888 was $192,-
131, 500.
Increased activities in truck fac
tories had a favorable effect on busi-
ness conditions in general. Additional
persons were employed in the produc-
tion, operation and maintenance of
the equipment as well as in related
industries. Motor truck freight on
railroads increased.
Exports Of American-made trucks
last year were lis per cent over 1888.
This rise is due largely to removal of

SOAP SEEN AS BASIS
FOR OILING HIGHWAYS
Sample of Soil With Mixture of
Oil Shown to Resist Water
for Year.

Soap is the basis of a new method
for successfully oiling low-cost dirt
and gravel roads, Hans F. Winter
korn of the Missouri State Highway
Department reports to the American
Chemical Society.
A sample Of soil treated with soap
in addition to oil was shown to resist
water for over year, whereas the
same soil merely oil-treated slaked
down in less than days time, he
says, adding that this high protective
effect, in some cases, was obtained
with the use of as little oil as per
cent of the weight of the dry soil
along with 0.3 per cent SOAP"
In applying surface chemistry to
the problem Of having stable, oiled
country roads, the experimenters
