Safe at Fifty. (Copyright, 1827, by Now Tom ' Evening Journal, lno.) T1LK REPUBLICAN TICK ET, now compli'ti1, rends Hoo ver aud Curtis. Senator Curtis from Kansas, . whose genial "howdy wen" is known to thousands of friends, was nom inated on-the first ballot, with 1052 votes. This puts an out and out farmers' candidate on the tick et. It does not mean dissatis faction with General Dawes, for there is none. The Curtis nomination is an effort to "do something for the farmer. " The Republican slogan for this campaign is to be "COX TIN I 'ED PROSPERITY AND MORE OF IT." That's enough of a slogan. People decline to think about more than one thins at n time, i Ajid when prosperity is the is sue they don't want any other. IE Democrats are wise they will promise "continued -prosperity with a great deal more of.it than the Republicans ever dreamed of." In his line telegram of con gratulation to Herbert Hoover, President Coolidge expresses thought of citizens, " Your great ability and wide experience will enable you to serve our cumi-'j try with marked distinction." President Coolidge has known for months that. Herbert Hoo ver would be nominated. The President, who has been a can didate for office twenty times and never defeated, under stands politics. That is more than yon can say for some gen tlemen from New York state and elsewhere. 1 DC .Metropolitan Ijllo lusur- I ancc Company yi-sti'i'ilay insur ed a mini pust 50 for 1 ,500,000.

Men live longer, in telligence, eounts. A wise man at 50 is a safer risk than a fool at 25. And the Metropolitan has promoted longer living by intelligent health advertising. Our prosperity is real. In May, General Motors broke all records, delivering 224,094 ears, the third successive record breaking mouth, as announced by President Alfred P. Sloan Jr. The total sale of ears in May was more than 4-13,000. Henry Ford is now turning out his new car at the rate of 3000 u day. Hut there will be u shortage, in good makes. This country needs 5,000,000 new ears every year at a mini mum, even if the total number exceeds the present figures 24, 000,000. Get your car.
