THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1984 NATION-WIDE PRESIDENTIAL POLL ATTRACTING SOME BIG SURPRISES FIRST RETURNS ON TEST VOTES SHOW LAFOLLETTE TAKING DAVIS VOTES IN CITIES AND COOLIDGE VOTES IN COUNTRY. SITUATION TODAY INDI CATES ELECTION WILL BE THROWN INTO HOUSE FOR CHOICE. HAVE YOU VOTED YET? First returris on The nationwide Presidential poll indicate very strongly that history is threat ening to repeat. The election of Pre sident will be thrown into Congress f or. settlement, as in 1824. Sentiment as expressed today shows the states divided into three great sectional parties or groups. Coolidge in the East, Davis in the South and La Follette in the West. Only some big unexpected development can change that situation before Novem ber. Viewing the - situation nationally, while the test votes cast in different sections of the country are not yet sufficient in number clearly to indi cate public sentiment, there appears to be little doubt that La Follette-is getting his strength from Davis in the cities and from Coolidge in the country. For example, a poll of four teen cities shows Coolidge to" be slightly in the lead of La Follette, with, 0 Davis running a very poor third. A poll taken at the Wisconsin state fair, attended by 50,000 persons daily, resulted in La Follette polling 55 per cent of the total vote cast, thus leaving only 45 per cent to be divided between Davis and Coolidge. The Situation Today The likelihood of the election being thrown into the House of Representa tives appears to be increasing daily. Political students who have returned from extensive investigating tours of the Middle and Far West report that the East has little or no conception of the La Follette strength in other parts of the country. The most conservative estimate given is that LaFollette will CLINTON’S DEAD END STREETS Chronicle’s finish in the fight with not less than 81 electoral votes.

LIFE TERM GIVEN CHICAGO BOYS YOUTH WAS CONTRIBUTING FAC TOR IN THE DECISION JUDGE CAVERLY ANNOUNCED. Chicago, Sept. 10.—Life im- pprisonment was the punishment fixed today by Judge John Cay- — erly upon Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, confesesd kid napers and murderers of 14-year old Robert Franks. This was a complete victory for the defense. Youth was the controlling factor in Judge Caverly’s decision. He said no minor had ever been sentenced to death in Illinois on a plea of guilty. He said such action was contrary to all the tendency of criminal law. “The court finds no mitigation in before the candidate of your choice most active co-operation is given the in the sample ballot below and mail or ^ city will often such streets, and will bring it to the editor of The Chroni-1 probably equip for doing the house cle.

The future development of the city very largely depends upon this new policy, and a great many properties are blocked from development by rea son of the fact that the streets which should reach them are prevented from reaching them through being blocked by other construction, and in many instances property owners have in jured their own property seriously by thus blocking streets. A better understanding of the value of street frontage, as compared with mere land area, is gradually coming about, and it is anticipated that a wide-awake citizenry will be quick to take advantage of this opportunity for development of their real estate interests by giving hearty co-opera tion to the city council."

They for get that there are two very serious sources of oil contamination. First of all, unless your car is equipped with an air strainer, you are going to have a surprising amount of dust drawn in with the mixture. This dust is caught by the oil, accumulates there and is ground through the bearings over and over again. You know how much dust accumu lates on the car body in the course of 500 miles of driving. In the en gine it is much worse, for here are four, six or eight "lungs” drawing in dust every revolution and that dust has little chance to escape from the sticky oil.
