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

Chicago, Sept. 10.—Life im-

fixed today by Judge John Cay- —

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 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

more than 140 feet from a street has

CRANK
Toorst enemies
M any car owners seem to think
that the oil in the crank case
ought to last indefinitely. 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.
Then, too, it! starting, and especially
if you overdo the use of the choke,

These two causes eventually reduce
the efficiency of even the best oiL
The only safe way to overcome this
is to drain, flush, and refill the crank

500 miles. Before having new
