TUESDAY EVENING,
SUFFRAGISTS BUSY
PLANNING CAMPAIGN
[Continued from First Page.J
ernor and the next move Is to place it
before the voters.
By n vote oi oi ayes lo 11 nays, the
| resolution proposing the woman suf
frage amendment to the Pennsylvania
Constitution was passed tinully by the
Senate last night. The issue now" goes
to the voters ot the State for decision
at the coming Fall election.
The passage of the resolution was
hailed by the greatest demonstration
that has marked the session up to this
time. The Senate gallery, the aisles,
and even the sacred carpet whereon
the Senators sit, were crowded with
women, most of them suffragists.
Everywhere the yellow colors and yel
low flowers of the suffragists shone
beneath the face of fair women. Here
and there, not at all in such abund
ance, were the red roses of the antl
suffragtsts.
Lieutenant Governor AlcClaln in the
chair wore one of the yellow flowers,
and when, just after the demonstration
folowing the announcement of the
vote, one of the Senators opposed to
the resolution complained about the
"noise," Mr. McClain's answer was:
"Don't you know this is ladies' night?"
A signiticant point in the arguments
of those Republicans who opposed the
amendment was that the members of
the Legislature were nominated before
the Republican platform containing the
suffrage pledge had been adopted. The
question, therefore, at once arose
whether or not the same argument
would not be used against other plat
form pledges.
Senator Crow, Republican State
chairman, who opposed the resolution
two years ago, opened in its favor last
night, citing the party pledge. He was
seconded by Senator Vare. Senators
Martin and Hilton also spoke in favor.
Senator Beidleman spoke against the
resolution, reiterating his view that the
people of the State and of his district
in particular were against stiffm*"". He
said he felt it his duty to vote as he
did out of regard for the sentiment of
his constituents. He thought nine
tenths of the members would vote as
he did had they made as careful an in
quiry as he had. He said members
elected last November were nominated!
before the State Republican platform
was adopted and therefore not strictly
bound by it. Senator Thompson, of
Beaver, also spoke in opposition.
Many Senators like McNlchol, of
Philadelphia, believe the amendment
stands no chance this Fall. Senator
Crow in his address emphasized this
when he said:
"A vote here to support the resolu
tion does not mean that members of
the Legislature are obliged to support
the resolution at the polls."
The vote in favor was:

Mrs. Horace Brock, president of the
Pennsylvania Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, commented thus on
the legislature's action:
"The anti-suffragists of Pennsylva
nia are entirely satisfied with the de
cision of the Legislature to submit wo
man suffrage to the voters.
"Having made a careful survey of
the State during the last two years and
having studied the national tendency
toward economy, efficiency and conser
vation, illustrated by the rejection of
woman suffrage by eleven States since
November 1, li) 14. we have no fear for
the result in November, after which wo
men will be able to resume their normal
iife and charitable and civic activities,
which have been most seriously inter
ered with by this agitation or 'votes
for women." "
International Has Jitney
Service For Visitors
The international motor truck de
partment are having an independent
exhibit in their new headquarters, 619
Walnut street. Free transportation to |
visitors from their headquarters to
both automobile shows is a courtesy
extended from the 13th to the 20th,
inclusive.
! C. J. Stevens, manager of the Inter
national motor truck department, an
nounces that for the benefit of Inter
national truck owners they have es
tablished a complete service station,
which will be at the command of all
International truck owners, no matter
how old their trucks may be.
This supply house will carry an
abundant line of motor trucks of the
popular sizes, also a complete line of
truck parts, thus saving valuable time
and extra expense to their hundreds
of patrons. These vital features, to
gether with the reliability of the
manufacturing company and the sales
agency back of it, speak for the per
manency of the International motor
truck department .
Merchants can no more disregard
the advantages of the motor truck
than their daily papers and telephones.
Business firms now recognize the fact
that new trade is necessary and horse
and wagon delivery will limit them to
a restricted territory and volume.
The motor truck permits a large
expansion of trade and the Inter
national is constantly making deliv
eries to progressive firms who believe
in trade expansion.
The smaller firms formerly held to
the idea that the motor truck was only
practical for the larger concerns, but
have now broadened their views, lost
that business timidity and are pur
chasing trucks as a matter of economy
and business expansion.
The many up-to-date features of the
new 1915 models of International mo
tor trucks are both Interesting and
pleasing to the many visitors and pur
chasers now calling at the Inter
national motor truck department, 619
Walnut street, Harrisburg, Pa.
Gear Ratio of Hudson
Is Nearest Perfection
Chief Engineer G. G. Behn, of the
Hudson, likes to take on technical
topics. But he has a way of investing
them with a simplicity and clearness
that makes these dry subjects attrac
tive to any motor car enthusiast. Most
buyers know very little on the fea
ture of gear ratio, and yet it is vital,
Mr. Behn says, to real motor car sat
isfaction.
A twenty horse power truck motor
can pull a huge load up a prettv stiff
Igrade, and do it at a fair speed. It
does it, however, very noisily and with
|excessive vibration. Some people think
that they would like to have low
power motor of this kind in their car,
and have an idea that they would
then gain fuel economy, and yet have
plenty of power. Mr. Behn shows
how this idea is a fallacy because the
motor would require to turn over at
such a tremenfious rate in order to
gain driving-wheel speed, that it
would not be satisfactory for a pleas
ure car.
On the other hand, a motor that is
geared too high does not produce sat
isfaction because it must of necessity
have a very powerful motor in order
to overcome the high gear ratio.
There is &n ideal in this, as In all
automobile designing. A moderate
gear ratio makes the ideal car for a
pleasure car. It gives excellent power
on hills and under dilficult road con
ditions. and yet it is sufficiently high
so that the motor operates pleasant!v,
and without vibration or noise. Very
low gear ratios, because of tremen
dous speed, are apt to prove unpleas
ant and costly at speeds of thirty
miles per hour and over.

Trucks in War Prove
Their Worth to Commerce
"Brodbingnagians of Battle and of
Business" is the title of a livewire bul
letin now being issued by the Pack
ard Motor Car Company. It contains
a thought for American businessmen:
Mars Is motorized.
Gasoline is greater than gunpowder.
Twentieth century war demands the
power of high explosives put into har
ness.
Never was nn engine of war sub
jected to such tests as the motor truck
in Europe. That the engine in this
case was taken from the humdrum
commercial field intensifies the tri
umph. Truly, the great war will go
down as the automobile armageddon.
Trains of motor trucks are tne chief
means of transport. They carry food
for the men and food for the cannon.
They carry also the cannon.
By their faith in the motor truck,
the captains of war have shamed the
lesser faith of many captains of indus
try.
When the Germans poured across
Belgium, one saw storehouse, bakc
shop, forge and cobbler shop setting a
pace which would have ditched Sher
man's Atlantic Mule Express, the old
time record holder as a war special.
Compared to these massive steel car
riers, Hannibal's elephantine trans
ports were puny things. They wefu
good in their day but a bigger day has
dawned.
On the present crazy-quilt contour
of cramped old Europe, where to-day's
trench is traded to-morrow, railroads
do not stay put. What you don't tear
up in your retreat, the enemy destroys.
Bridges and tunnels are dynamited,
embankments effaced, rails warped
and terminals razed.
War was the opportuniev of Amer
ican motor trucks. How did they re
spond ?
The Department of Commerce shows
that truck shipments have averaged
in value from two and one-half to
three and one-half millions of dollars
per month since last Fall. More
trucks have been shipped In thirty
days than were shipped during the
whole of 1913.
It is a war on wheels. Trucks
brought up the "Jack Johnsons'' tlipt
"golumpused" the forts at Liege, Mau
beuge and Namur. Galliene motored
70,000 men from Paris to Meaux. thir
ty miles, in six hours when he heard
Von Kluck knocking at the outer
gates of the French capital. Thirty
thousand motor vehicles account for
the amazing mobility of the Kaiser's
forces in the eastern theater of war.
In the rear, in the van, rushing am
munition to the breech of the cannon,
hurrying the thousands of wounded to
the base hospitals, the truck has
traveled over good, bad, worse and
even no roads in every plague of
weather.
In'the destructive work of wartime,
the motor truck is no longer on trial,
[llow long will the generals in the con
structive work of commerce cling to
their ttmeworn methods of hauling?
To-day in Europe, the tramp, tramp,
tramp—what there is of it, is lost in
the putt, putt, putt of the "lorries."
The motor truck has even muffled
the drums of war. Along with the
fife, the drum has passed to the mu
seums. The pulse of the gasoJine mo
tor, is the only soul ignition the tighter
of to-day asks or can hear. The mo
tor truck carries the superior force to
the point of contact.
What the motor truck has done in a
few months in war, it is certain to do
more gradually in the morp deliberate
contests of business. Never before
was the motor truck so full of inter
est for men who are on speaking terms
with opportunity.
Valve-in-head Motors
Have Won Many Races
The new Buick six-cylinder road
ster is the car that attracted so much
attention at the New York and Phila
delphia shows. All of these the com
pany will manufacture have already
been disposed of to the different deal
ers. The motor is the most expen
sive single factor in the construction
>if the automobile, representing in
round numbers one-quarter of the
cost of the finished product. It must
be absolutely dependable, or your mo
tor car is worthless. Wherever power
and endurance are most needed the
valve-in-head motors are found effi

dianapolis, and the European classic,
the Grand Prix in France, used valve
in-head motor cars. The leading
builders of motors for aeroplanes,
submarines und marine engines un
hesitatingly adopt valve-in-head mo
tors, although they cost more to
build. Buick cars still hold the twen
ty and fifty-mile world's speed re
cords and more A. A. A. official speed
records than any car but one. Buick
cars have won the most recent reli
ability tests—the 1914 three thousand
mile tour of France, the most stren
uous test ever staged by France; the
latest New York reliability run, the
most strenuous test from the stand
point of technical examinations to
which automobiles have ever been
subjected in this country, and the
fourth Wisconsin economy reliability
tour, repeat inn a previous victory in
this run and averaging 24.8 miles

Buick valve-in-head motors have
won more than 500 hill climbing,

make, regardless of price.
Local Reo Agency
Reports Excellent Business
The wonderful popularity of the
I Reo line of automobiles made by one
i of the greatest manufacturers in the
United States, has been very forcibly
demonstrated by the quantity of cars
that the local representative, the Har
risburg Automobile Company have
been handling in the last year. One
hundred and fifty-seven cars were de
livered in this territory during the
season of 1914, which was considered
a very good year's business. The ID 15
business is still far more gratifying to
the Reo Company, and up to the
present time George G. McFarland, of
the Harrisburg Automobile Company,
has delivered to his customers 14 0
Reo cars with four carloads on the
road for immediate delivery. A total
of 212 orders have been taken for
delivery up until the first part of
April. In addition to this business
they have stored fifty-one cars in
S. B. Romberger's storage warehouse
in South Tenth street. These stored
summer months for late buyers and
summer months for late bueyrs and
were stored by this enterprising firm,
who knew very well that they would
not be able to get enough cars during
the summer months to supply the de
mand for this most popular car. The
popularity of the car has grown in
leaps and bounds. Reo owners find
they can drive their cars over all
kinds of roads the year around, 10,000
miles at an average cost of between
2 and 3 cents a mile for all expenses
outside of washing and storing, that
the car is always ready to go. When
it. needs repairing it is so constructed
that a repair bill is of a most moder
ate amount. The Harrisburg Auto
mobile Company keeps on hand at
all times a large quantity of parts and
is in position to supply Reo owners
instantly with what they want, even
on cars that were made in 1907 and
1908. They practically have a fac
tory branch at their establishment
at Third and Hamilton streets.

Its Supremacy Shows
In Its Utter Refinement
Any man who investigates will concede to the
HUDSON the class place among Light Sixes.
Its supremacy is too apparent to be questioned.
It shows in every detail, in finish, in equipment.
Our whole engineering force, headed by Howard
E. Coffin, has devoted for years to this model. So
every feature, big and small, shows the final touch.
But the all-important fact is that the HUDSON
Six-40 is the proved-out car of this popular type.
Over 10,000 cars—last year's model and this
year's—have been tested in owners' hands. They
have run for some 25 million miles without bring
ing out a single fault or shortcoming.
This model now has 10,000 endorsers among men
who know it well. Some of those men are near
you.
Your Questions
We have saved in this Light Six some 1,000
pounds. We have used new and better materials.
We have equipped it with a new-type high-speed
motor. We have reduced operative cost about 30
per cent. We have cut tire cost in two.
Now you want to know how these radical
changes affect what a car can do and stand.
The HUDSON Six-40 has 10,000 answers to
every question of this kind. All those questions
ha\'e yet to be answered in a car that copies this.
I he HUDSON Six-40, in its beauty and com
pleteness, will appeal to your pride of ownership.
Its records will appeal to your judgment.
And Hudson service—the best in America—will
appeal to your wish to have a car kept at its best.
Let us demonstrate them all.
