ELECTION SAFEGUARDS
Check on Ballot Frauds Pro

Rill
Itarrltbarg, March 11. T6 safeguard
election and prevent recurrences of past
frauds, two bills wera Introduced In the
Itouse by Representative William J.
Brady, (it tho Instance bt the Indepen
dents of Philadelphia. The bills are
amendments to the election laws and
ono of the features of the mcasuro U
that a. county commissioner who l a
candidate for re-election shall nol sit as
a member of the return court follow-lng
the primary election.
One of the bills provides that In the
event a county commissioner l a can
didate for re-election the Common Pleas
Court judges shall Select another and a
disinterested person to sit In his place
as a member of the return court.
This" provision Is believed to be aimed
at County Commissioner Grorge F.
Holmes nnd Harry Kuetisel. of Phila
delphia, who are elated a the Vare can
didate at the September primaries. In
the event tho measure passes, the two
Vare men would not be permitted to alt

Another change In the Brady bill! l
one covering the distribution 6f ballets.
The present laws provide that twice in
many ballot shall be distributed as
there aro assessed oters. This practice
Is looked upon as a waste by the Inrte
pendents nnd conducive of fraud. The
Brady bill provides that the number o(
ballots to be distributed shall be 20 per

The Cadillac Motor Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sirs; -
ON ACTIVE SERVICE WITH
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
SERGEANT DAVID S. GRANT,
HEADQUARTERS GARAGE,
A. P. O. 717 FRANCE
FEBRUARY 7th, 1919
Just a few lines from a Philadelphia boy now with the Motor Transport Corps for
more than 15 months in France with the Headquarters Garage, Service of Supplies, and
in charge of Touring Cars runningout of this post.
I thought I would take the liberty to tell you about the good work the Cadillac cars
are doing in the line of duty over here.
We have nearly 200 cars running out of this post, and, thanks to someone's good
judgment, they are mostly Cadillacs, the one and only car for the kind of work that is
expected of a car over here.
Those of us who are held responsible for the condition of cars when leaving this
garage on long, hard trips can certainly appreciate the few adjustments needed to keep
a Cadillac on the road. For, if you don't already know it, I can assure you that an Army
chauffeur doesn't care a rap as long as the car runs.
We send cars out on trips from one day to six and eight weeks, and very little at
tention they get vhile on the road. J can recall trips of ten days where they covered 2400
miles with a Cadillac and never touched it, except for gas, oil and tire trouble. So you
can easily imagine what is expected of a car in service over here, and I can assure you
that the Cadillac is sure standing the test, where cars of a higher price, less the qualities,
are lying in their last resting place, minus the bouquets, at the main repair shop's ceme
tary, namely the Salvage Field.
But you have to look mighty hard to find therein a Cadillac and if you do you can est
assured that an epitaph something like this goes with it: "It did not die a natural death,
but one of a horrible accident."
I am enclosing a picture that might interest you somewhat, not that I mean to slam
the , for that is not in my line, but just to show you the life of these was less than
seven months. I received these cars when they were sent from the base port, and in less
than seven months was in charge of the convoy mat placed them in their last resting
place.
In this convoy there were seven for salvage, one for complete over
hauling, and a Cadillac and to aid in the towing of the and . I took
these cars a distance of 170 miles, ten in all and all tied together, so you can imagine the
attention we attracted en route. The Cadillac, the and three of the fur
nished the power, while the balance were dead tows. Soyou see, our life over here is not
one of roses and sunshine, but one of work and worry.
I forgot to state that the Cadillac in this convoy was taken along for new fenders,
due to coming in too close contact with a railroad gate.
Now, in closing, my heart and hand are out for the Cadillac, and may 1919 be a year of
increased sales and prosperity.
Respectfully yours, in our country's service,
Sergeant David S. Grant.
Sergeant Grant is not a Cadillac employe. He is a stranger to the Cadillac organization. His
Cadillac enthusiasm is inspired solely by the overseas performance of the Standard Seven Passenger
Car of the United States Army.
We have Cadillac cars for immediate delivery
