The BRAMBACH is the Pioneer of small-Grands. Its makers were impressed with the thought that an instrument with the “Grand” tone, made in the small size and sold at the price of a good upright, MUST be overwhelmingly successful. The success of the Brambach with artists as well as other mu- sic lovers, who are also home-makers, has borne out every hope. In the home, where size must be considered, as well as in the studio, where “vGrand” tone is demanded, Brambach wins full appreciation.

NEW YORK, April 10.—Appealing to the Democratic party to follow the evample of its founder, Senator Cara- way, Demecrat, Arkansas, declared tonight at a Jefferson day banquet here, that it would find response in the heart of America if it stripped ii- self of selfish interests, repented of its shortcomings and confined its pro- gram only to those things for the com- mon weal. In a comparison of President Cool- idge and Thomas Jefferson, he as- sailed the present occupant of the White House as being unsympathetic to the needs of the common people and favoring special interest. “The Democratic party and those who love its tenets,” he said, “need no more striking example to them than the selfishness and the greed, the concentration of power, the abuse of power, the selfish use of power that finds its most perfect exemplification in the President of the United States, the Republican administration of to- lay.""
