Perhaps the defeat of Senator Johnson in New Jersey

Nor do things look bright forthe dark horse, Harding.
For a favorite son to win hLs home state by only ten thous

Lowden's showing in Illinois was disappointing, Harding's
performance in Ohio, must be crushing.

All of which strengthens the belief that a dark horse

DIRTY POLITICS
HOW SOON we lorget. Unly two years ago placarded
on every street corner was the slogan, "Save food and
win the war." And the American peoplo saved it and the
war was won.
The man who asked the American people to do that was
Herbert Hoover. It was also Herbert Hoover who guaran
teed to the American farmer a fair return for his wheat and
to the people of the country
price lor tneir nreati.
A - . , -r
Hut lor the Hoover program ine war wouid nave v u-
ncssed the greatest orgy of
the world, and while the farmers would have made money,
it is no exaggeration to say that money so secured would
now be worth no more than the German mark. "
It was a great patriotic service Hoover rendered, and
every right thinking citizen should be grateful for it. Hut
are they If Not if one is to judge by the anti-Hoover propo
ganda that the Johnson forces arc conducting in California.
Pamphlets have recently been sent to every fanner in that
state, painting Hoover as the diabolical monster who
robbed the poor but honest farmer of California, during the
war of his legitimate profits, one of the most contempti
ble appeals to selfish interest and class greed, a political
campaign has ever witnessed.
"Vote for Hiram Johnson, the friend of the poor man
and the champion of the hard-working and deserving
farmer." Could anything show more clearly the degra
dation of Anierican'politics, the reprehensible depths to
which otherwise self-respecting American citizens will
sink, in a mail desire to gain political advantage?
Small wonder Herbert Hoover was reluctant to enter
a contest where such tactics are tolerated, small wonder
that he should prefer to devote his energies to feeding the
starving women and children of Europe, and leave the po
litical hodge-podge to the natural born mud-slingcrs and
blackguards.

A Battery Service
Station in the Jungle
"A L'SI, Service Station in the Jun
gles of Borneo? That would sound
rather ridiculous, wouldn't it?" said
M. B. Walker of Auto Klectrlc Equip
ment Co.. of the local L'SL Service
Station representative for this sec
tion, in the course of a discussion of.
storage battery problems Willi a rep
resentative of this paper today.
"The fact is," lie continued, "that
too many motorists in our own coun
try are still in tho Jungle on mutters
pertaining to the care and upkeep of
thuir storage batteries. They are
wandering about aimlessly in the
darkness of battery-misunderstanding.
They, only seo daylight when
they accidentally stumble upon a
L'SL Service Stution signboard.
'"Perhaps It may bo better from
tho viewpoint of some service sta
tions to keep them groping blindly
junglewurd, but this is not the case
with me, nor with the service station
I represent. The automobile-driving
public should have, at least, a fair
knowledge of the storage buttery.
They know their motors; why do
they neglect their batteries?
"There's the battery plates, for in
stance. There isn't a motorist in five
who knows the difference between
a machine-pasted battery plate and a
hand-pasted plate, nor the relative
staying qualities of eacb. Nor is
there ono in forty who understands
why a plate will buckle or how to
"hydrometo" his buttery. .Most of
'em get flustered wbeu battery trou
bles occur and make record time to
the service station.
"We are glad to meet 'em, of
course. Hut take it from me I'd
sooner seo a motorist, for his own
comfort, know more about that little
black box attached to his car." Adv.
