TO KKlilUTr CHAIRMAN. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 11. "With tho republican state convention les.s than 2 4 hours away, party leaders today continued their unavailing efforts to affect an agreement on the state chairmanship, the selection of four delegates at large to the republican national convention and the question of whether a resolution shall be prepented the convention endorsing Gov. Goedrlch's administration. It appeared certain that these Isnuea will be fought out on the convention floor, except that of tho Ptate chairmanship which will bo decided at a meeting of the district chairman before the convention opens. Mrs. Oarllslo to Run. Two more entrants in the race for the "big four" delegation mado the situation morn perplexing today. Col.

IMitor News-Times: Till; IJIIili-IiOARI) AGAIN. There has been se much said against the. unsightly bill-hoard advertisements it would seem that merchants er business firms of any sort would scarcely risk public disapproval in thus placing their business before the purchasing public, but so long a;s certain r.trsons exploit the bi'.i-board as a method of gaining a living and others are willing to lease? the Privileg- of uslnp their property for the erection of the signs we probably will have to endure a certain amount of the nuisance. The members of th- Clay and Harris Township Community center have repeatedly taken action voicing their disapproval of this method of advertising. The I'dwardsburg road is one of the oddest Improved highways in St. Joseph county and bears considerable historical distinction as well as natural beauty of landscape but at nearly every turn in the road the citizen or tourist is confronted with the .startling Information that a certain Merchant has the largest furniture store In northern Indiana or some one rise has the best clothes tor men and boys or another hap beer, on Michigan st. at Washington a v. sineo '76. If these merchants really believe that the bill-board is a valuable advertiser why do they not have several placed on their lawns where they may see them every day? I am sure if the pelf-respecting cf t'?c . of any community would stop for a moment and consider they wouid not resort to such unsichtly methods of advertising, nor would 10 times $10 buy a lease on their property for a year. To the dump with the bill-boards and if yen pb ise to the merchants that use ".hem. Respectfully. J. J. G UK EN WOOD.

South Bend has entered upon a new era of Industrial life and prosperity. ThU statement is substantiated by a tour of the vast Studebaker automobile plant, which is Fo near completion that production has begun and the first light-six the machine that is to be exclusively manufactured at the . local plant has been finished and is now on exhibition on the lirst floor of the administration building. It is prominently displayed with other mementoes marking the various stages of expansion that the corporation has enjoyed from its infancy, when the Studebaker Brothers tirst began the

I manufacture of vehicles.

The first automobile manufactured complete, in the newly erected buildings is the new type of car, which olficials claim is destined to revolutionize the entire industry. The plans were drawn here, the materia 1 in its construction was brought here, the various stages of stamping, grinding, shaping and forging were done here and the final assembling and testing of both engine and body was performed here. It is predicted by prominent otltcial that the tirst deliveries of the new type of machine will be made by the end of this week and the early products of the a.L plant will be delivered to South Bend customers. Tou nil I'lant. At the Invitation of a company ofticial, a News-Times representative joined a party of students and members of the Emmanuel Missionary college, a Seven Day Advcntist Institution located at Berrien Springs, Mich., on a conducted tour of the plant both the. wagon making departments anil the automobile manufacturing shops. The party of students, about 85 in number, in charge of M. L. Kelley, director of the commercial department and S. A. Smith, agricultural instructor, were hastily shown through the pioneer branches of the Studebaker industries and after watching the various stages In the manufacture of the horse drawn vehicles were taken to the automobile body assembling ilepartments. The several points of interest were explained and then the party was taken to the new plants, where tho automobile industry of South Bend is centered. The machine shops where the intricate and delicate operations of drilling and cutting the material to be incorporated In the assembling of the motor were watched with Interest while the guides explained the processes. The forge shops where the massive punches and heat-treating ovens are located were visited. After the material Is stamped it is conveyed tt the ovens where It Is subjected to the intense heat.

and motor testing rooms completed the tour. Sanitary Features. During the course of the trip through the monster factories and shops, it was noted that the plan of building construction followed a rule of wide corridors anl i-lcnty of space for the workmen. The plant, say officials, is the moot modern and sanit.ry automobile factory in the world and special attention was given the air circulation ar.d noise reducing features. Othcials say that the organization Is perfect and that as soon as material can be secured production will be Increased so that the original plan of u 600-car-a-day plant will come into being. It was explained that diSiculty has been experienced in completing the installation of the machinery on account of the railroad situation and the Inability of the machine manufacturing concerns to make deliveriees. With this difficulty facing the production department, it was found necessary to make a number of the automobile parts by hand, which is a slow, costly process and seriously affects the entire sytem. This is expected to be remedied shortly and before the summer Is over, It is confidently predicted that a well-balanced and smooth-running organization will bo enabled to turn out the new light-six at a rate that will somewhat relieve the unprecedented situation in the automobile market. The students of the Berrien Springs college made a tour of the woeden mills and the South Bend Watch Co. plant before going through the Studebaker factory and during the afternoon visitPd the Oliver plant and several floral greenhouses. The party is making the trip here in a special car over the Northern Indiana and will return to the college at 7 o'clock.
