sidered one of the states outstanding
liberals. Aggressive and militant, his
position on controversial matters is al

ence, Mike is well fitted for the posi-
ton he seeks.
He attended grade school in Great
Falls, Montana where he was reared
In 1918, when he was only IA years
of age, he enlisted in the navy for
the duration of the war, thereby ac-
curing the distinction of being the
youngest World war veteran in the
United States. After the war he
served in the army for one year and
in the marine corps for two years.

1t will be recalled that in June 1888,
a drama was broadcast over the air
with a cast of characters composed
of the governor and the state account
ant 1t was staged over the air about
midnight, and purported to convey to
the listeners the idea that the gov
ernor and his valiant state account
ant working indefatigably, late into
the nights, reducing expenses and go
ing without sleep to save the tax
payers money, were now able to an
nounce to the world that "the budget
was balanced" and for the first time
in history the general fund was Gin
the black"
The same announcement was also
made by the governor to the last ses-
sion of the state legislature.
1t is perhaps not particularly i'm
portant to this story that the BROAD
cast from the governors mansion
where he was working late at night
for the taxpayers of Montana" was
later reported to be an electric tran
scription, but the important thing is,
that if, at any time during the present
governors tenure of the office, the
state general fund has been in the
black, it has been momentary con-
dition; that had the current charges
which were accrued against it been
taken into account at the moment the
statement was made, the statement
would have been incorrect.

A most encouraging week has
been experienced by the manage
ment of the Peoples Voice since
the last issue of the publication.
Since the date of the last issue
on February IA, the number of
yearly subscriptions received up to
the time of going to press is SIG.
Included in this number are $50
yearly subscriptions for the patrons

for by the company and ordered

Larger Generator
On 1910 Chrysler

In order to meet the increasing
demands of current for the opera
ton of radios, headlamps, heaters
and other electrical accessories,
Chrysler has provided larger air.
cooled generators on all the 1910
models. The new generator has
a capacity 25 per cent greater
than that used previously.
Part of this extra capacity is
used to operate the new Sealed
Beam" type of headlamps, whose
country" or full strength beam
requires more current than for
mer types. 1t has ample capacity
to carry the full lighting and ac-
cessory loads and also reserve
capacity for charging the battery.
Thus proper voltage for headlamps
and full lighting at the higher car
speeds are assured.
To protect it from overheating,
the new 1910 Chrysler generator
is equipped with fan which "air-
cools" it during operation. 1t also
has a full voltage control which
maintains the proper voltage with
out overcharging the battery, and
a current regulator that governs
the current output and provides
sufficient current to keep the bat
terry fully charged.
Thus overcharging the battery,
which is injurious to the cells, IL
prevented.

First step in this spring recondi-

is to thoroughly flush out the anti
freeze and give the cooling system
a good cleaning. Next, check the
water pump, hose connections and
fan belt to see If winter driving
has injured them in any way.
If you're driving a Studebaker
equipped with a Climatizer you
won't have to bother shutting off
heater or put up with its useless

Before Councilmen

Two ordinances were presented

to cover preparations for con-
struction of Tacoma's end of the
inter-tie line with the federal Bon

The ordinances were given pre-

One authorizes the corporation
counsel to proceed with purchase
or condemnation of land required
for extending a te-line from the

limits at Northeast Tacoma.
The other ordnance appropriates
