shouting and tumult continued, stand
ard after standard camte up andI the
march around the hall began. In the
New York section, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Roosevelt, seized the
standard and rushed into the crowded
aisles, battling with others who sought
with eager bands to uphold the sign.
But there were some amiong the
New York delegation who struggled
with Iloosevelt to prevent him carry
ing the state standard in fihe diemon
stration for the President. There 4was
a lively scrimmage akin to q center
rush In a football game In which fists
were hlying and there seemed danger
of bloody noses. A :policeian Who in
terfered got a pulnmmeling. One man
had his coat dragged off and several
men lost their nose glasses. No one
was hurt, the protesting delegates
changed their mind and Roosevelt tri
umiphantly marcled oft with tile New
York standard to join the Wilson dei

There's a Touch of
Tomorrow
In All Cole Does Today
A forecast of the future is the Cole Aero-Eight.
In it ideals which seemed intended for fulfillment
only at some distant time have become realities of
the present.
The aim of its builders has been to be first in
design---to lead the way to fnture improvements
by changing said tendencies arnd quickening the
pulse of motordom to faster progress.
Coming as a distinct departure, the AERO
Eight has struck a cord of broad appeal. Individ
uality has been its dominant note. Originality has
found expression in its classic contour and its me
chanical advancements. It is as gifted in per
formance as it is radiant in beauty.
Striking in personality, sound in principle, the
AERO-Eight marks a climax in a career devoted
to creating the new. It is the herald of
an advanced mode---a determining
influence in establishing the
vogue in motor cars
