Out on th- I'rtitic coast Harding Tirolde-ntial clubs are elng Tuanized to boost thf- earididaey of th" junior senator from Ohio. Col C. II. Forbes, who v..:, the Kiut, hero recently of Sen. Harding, has started the Hardiiu,' niovcm,nt on the west coast and reports received hern bad to the expectation that it will cwi be iroim: strong. Col.

He went to the Hawaiian Islands, where he was commissioner of public works, chairman of thv public service commission and chairman of the harbor commission, resU'nirirj these positions to enter the war. Orpiftl.Tm: The West. Col. Forbes has issued a call for the organization of Harding cluba in the far northwest and is preparing to take active charge of th'ia plan of organization. He has piven out the following statement at Tacoma : "I was in Washington. D. C. ree ently and talked with Sen. Harding and since then have visited New Ye.rk Chicago, I.os Angeles', San Diego, San Francisco and other point?, feeding out his public pulse as it concerns Sen. Harding, and I am enthusiastic over the outlook for his candidacy anil belb've P.,- is an ideal man for the presidency. "Thf campaign in his behalf has been launched in the east and I now believe the' time is opportune for the organization of Harding clubs throughout the 1'a.ciJie northwest. Sen. Harding i.s ex-lieutenaut governor of the state of Ohio. II u is a type of American that appeals to the masses. He is ef the most extraordinary personality. He is a man not to be judged only by his great oratorical powers, but by his high ideals and startling qualities. From his office in Washington he never turns a visit er away. He is not only interested in the state of Ohio but is a constituent of the wh 'o American tin. on. He is a strong advocate for. the betterment of the .soldier and h;is been instrumental in the enactment of much national legislation that will be fruitful for the American people. 31ay Visit Philippines. "The senator is at the head of the commitee on the Philippines and hopes, if the senate is aide to conclude its business by October, to make a trip to the Philippines with his committee for the purpose of taking up the numerous Filipino problems now under consideration by the senate.

I president. Ins of Hardlr.tr clubs In the wett comes the Jnformution from various quarters that the WaUon boom Is "looking up." Arthur Ayern of Indianapolis, former member of the Indiana republican btate committee and a close friend of Watson, has been here durJn;? ths last few dayn after a tour over Kentucky in which he paid particular attention to presidential sentiment among tho republicans. Ayres is the head of the gas company that furnishes natural to Frankfort. Lexlncrton. Mt. Sterling and Winchester, Ky., and which fupplies 50,009 Kentucky homes. He states that his business brings him into close, contact with tho people. Claims Kentucky Support. "I have no hesitation In predictIn? that Watson will pet the delegation from Kentucky to the next republican national convention," said Mr. Ayres. "The republicans of the. rank and file all over Kentucky are for Watson for president. Those on the rural routes and la tho mountains are especially outspoken for Watson. Kineo the iayg of Henry Clay hese people have been protectionists and they like Wataon'a stand on the tariff." When asked if Watson will have the Indiana delegation back of him Mr. Ayers said there is no doubt of it. If the claims of Indiana's favorite sons for a state delegation were submitted to the rank and hie of Indiana republican Watson would get 0 per cent of the votes, he added. Neither Gov. Goodrich nor any other Indiana republican would ptand a show in a contest with Watson for Indiana's presidential pref j-ii

THE

Gives Highest Tire Economy With Lowest Tire Investment The tire economy of the Franklin Car is not only indicated by its figures of 12,500 miles, but is emphasized by the tire anxiety of owners of other cars carrying from one to four spare tires. Franklin owners seldom carry a srnre tire, and never have a heavy spare tire investment. They are free from tire anxiety as well as tire expense. Light weight and flexibility take the Franklin over the greatest distances with unbroken speed on ?U roads This means longer life to tires no sudden starts and stops, with the inevitable grind and strain. The tires on the Franklin Gire not pounded out suddenly, but wear out gradually. All Franklin owners will tell you tllat they get a cütent, all-round economy of 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline 12,500 miles to the set of tires 50 '$ slower yearly depreciation We will be glad at any time to demonstrate the Franklin Car over any roads you name and to explain Direct Air Cooling and other Franklin differences which make for exceptional, year-round performance, Aak for a Demonstration of the Franklin. 1 FRANKLIN MOTOR CAR CO.

erence, he declared. Sen. Newberry of Michigan is tellit:g a story which shov.s an extenFive Watson sentiment in that state. He relates that at a recent republican gathering a poll was taken as to presidential choices. There was a printed bullot on which appeared

the name cf nearly all the prominent republicans mentioned. Many of those present, he 6aid, wrote the name of Watson on tho ballot with thetr cwn hands and declared that he was their choice. It is believed in senatorial circles that Sen. Newberry at th proper time will start a movement to line up a solid Michigan delegation for Hen. Watson.
