Under the most favorable weather con
ditions, this city gave Its fullest expression
tith the ballot and by a heavy vote regis
i,n& the choice which eliminated Magee as
I contender for the executive's scat. The
ilt answered the early claims of his po
litical managers that Magee's candidacy
Has demanded by tho people of the city,
with renewed energy his forces attempted
overcome the lead of S200 which Babcock
rolled up In tho primaries, but the effort
rroved unavailing. . '
v n, h twpntv-seven wards In the munici
pality Babcock carried twenty-two and
Mine Ave, the same as In the primary
Sent The principal sections, the Hast End,
Kort'h Side and South Side, returned plu
rilltle for Hancock. Throughout the city
the latter's lead over his opponent was uni
form and ulmultaneously the three big sec
tions reported Babcock as their choice.
Magee's campaign following the primaries
Broed nonproductive, as the leader In thu
orimariea, almost as quickly as the polls
were closed, was shown to have lost noth
Ine but was Increasing his advantage. The
first returns served as an Index to the re
iult and subsequent ones failed to modify
the first forecast.
While the mayoralty contest ovfcr
ahadowed It, tho oouncllmanlo race proved
a close second In Interest. Early returns
failed to show sure winners and the fight
MS close between a number of the ten
candidates. The first returns were In sum

which portended tho probable election of
I Councllmen from both tickets.

LYONS'S ELECTION ASSURED
Democratic Candidate Runs Behind in
the Twenty-eighth District
FRANKLn Pa., Nov. 7. It seems ap
parent early this morning that Captain
U. O. Lyons, of Warren, Republican, has
been elected to Congress from the Twenty
eighth Pennsyhanla District to succeed O.
D. Bleakley, resigned. Ills plurality over E.
II. Beshlln, also of Warren. Democratic and
Prohibition, will be less than normal.
Both men ran on dry platforms and de
clared In faor of the Administration's war
policy. The result, therefore, Is regarded as
without significance. The soldier vote at
Camp Hancock, Augusta, showed big plural
ities for Lyons. The Socialist vote in the
district was negligible, being far below normal.

BONG PRACTICAL, EFFICIENT,
ECONOMICAL, WITH YOUR
WAR-TIME MOTORING
.bvv?,
.&
&X;
BEFORE the War, motor car leader
ship was a peculiar thingv It was
impossible to estimate the worth of
a car by the way the public thought of it.
Buyers were wonderfully tolerant
they forgave any make of car so long as a
new model was announced for the next
season.
With new features each year, addi
tional "extras" and changes in mechanical
design almost any car could gain a certain
amount of popularity. It took the war to
tep.ch the most liberal public in the world
that a car's performance is the measure of
the car itself. That the only way to judge
a car is by its record.
War Conditions Change Public's
Motor Car Requirements
Before the War, the public mind was
on something else than economy in gaso
line, tires and oil, utility and efficiency.
Contrast that condition with the pres
ent demand for the Franklin Touring Car.
This type of buyer is increasing daily.
He is learning that the first step toward a
good purchase is to test all "claims" and
take nothing for granted.
He is learning the facts back of the
present trend toward the Franklin. The
scientific principles that always make
Franklin demand exceed Franklin produc
tion. Scientific Light Weight Curtails
Waste in Gasoline, Tires and Oil
The Franklin Touring Car weighs 2280
pounds scientifically constructed of the
finest materials. It is this scientific light
weight that is responsible for the car's re
markable comfort, efficiency and utility. It
is Direct-Air-Cooling that eliminates 177
complicated water cooling parts along with
freezing, overheating and other cooling
troubles.
It is a combination of scientific prin
ciples and finest materials that makes the
Franklin the most economical fine car in
America.
Thrift in motoring is no longer optional
to the car owner. It is a national necessity.
Here is an economical,
safe, reliable car, adaptable
for aH family requirements
a car any member of the
family can drive. r
It is the choice of prac
tical men who like to see re
sults not read about them.

Cabriolet - 2485 lbs. 2850

The Franklin Touring
Car is fundamentally a car of
thrift. It's built to econo
mize. Facts prove it daily.
And facts are not at all
a bad foundation for basing
one's judgment about any
car.
