At the | same time, in the conduct of the do- mestic affairs of the country he and his administration and the democratic | congress have been tireless in the cnactment of constructive legislation | for the country’s benefit, which in vol- ume and beneficence has never been equalled. As L.

There is an im- | posing number of business, labor and public welfare enactments besides, | which I have no space to discuss here.

Obviously, the claims of efficiency for motor trucks are sustained by the rapid in- crease.

The higher average cost, $2,000 for the truck against $750 for the touring ma- chine, Himits its use to business houses having considerable capital. But with ! two hundred and Afty manufacturers in tha commercial fleid, and standard- ized models, there is reason for be- Heving that within a few years the use of heavy trucks and light delivery conveyances will be much more gener- j ol than it 1s today. in every way worth $16.98, | ; | repeatedly | publican party. | insurgent movement, | elements | votes of opponents THE CLIMAX OF BARGAIN GIVING At The MILL END SALE SATURDAY Wise, Smith & Co., Hartford Here are a few briefly stated but really remarkable values that wiil be offered to- gether with many more PSSR S ) SATURDAY AT OUR SUIT DEPARTMENT $16.98 and $19.98 Tailored Women’s $12.98 New Sport Model, Striped and Plain effects.

Should a majority mandate come to him and his party because of this added sup- port, it may be said not only that this is the first complete democratic ma- Jority victory since 1858, but also that out of the middle west has at last come to dominance another significant movement in American polltics.
