FRANKLIN AGENCY
WITH E.W. SHANK
% -
fcfcw Series Nine 'Has Less
Weight, More Power and Im
proved Appearance
The new model Frnklln, known as
Series Nine, was received toy E. W.
Shank this weok. This car shows a
decided improvement In appearance over
Ihe preceding: model, with a lighter
Engine and a remarkable saving in
throughout without sacrifice of
strength or efficiency. This makes the
icar even moro economical of operation
than heretofore. Mr. Shank, who was
{recently appointed as distributor for
"this territory for the Franklin car. is
familiar with the alr-cool
ed principle of the Franklin, having
i<or years been engine expert with large
establishments manufacturing this
type of engine.
That the H. IT. Franklin Manufac
turing Company, Syracuse. N. T.. had
?, new model in preparation was known
o a few over a year ago. which meT"
that the chassis now announced has had
a very great amount of work put into
It and has been tested with spe<. .<i
thoroughness. The results of this
careful preparation are quite remark
ble, for the new car is a very con
siderable advance on previous Frank
lins. good though the latter undoubted
ly were.
The Series Nine Franklin has been
fenerally accepted as the lighted com
ortable touring car of its capacity in
the world, this low weight being ob
tained by scientific design, careful
choice of material and elimination of
■very superfluous pound of metal. That
as much as 400 pounds could be trim
med off it without depreciating per
formance or comfort was a surprise
even to the Franklin engineers, but
this has been done and both perform
ance and comfort are lmprv>\ d ..
This large amount of weight has been
j?aved without making the car smaller.
The new engine is lighter, being a
trifle smaller in tht bore, the sear-
Bet has had several pounds cut out and
both axles are lighter. All the petty
details have been examined with a
microscope, so to speak, and ounces
cut her* and there; more forging? and
fewer castings are used and aluminum
takes a bigger part than ever.
The general lines of the chassis re
tnain almost unchanged. The air-cool
ed engine, now 3", by 4 inches, is ex
ternally similar to the old 2S hv i
Inches: the wood frame, full-elliptic
springs front and rear, and the amid
ships a-earset are ail retained: in fa<-t.
Jt reeds a close examination of the
chassis to find the chanees. Kxter- |
nally the finished car has been Improv
ed In appearance very greatly. The
elopint hood has had rounded corners
Jubstltuted for the square ones, and it
s wider, making a flush Joint with the
cowl all the way around. The bodies
liave also been rendered smoother and
every one in the whole range of types
Is as good looking as another." the
closed styles being, perhaps, especially
distinctive. Also a new design of four*-
passenger roadster, which is not a
c'over leaf. Is llkelv to prove popular.
s has all the close-coupled effect
and is much easier to enter. There are
divided front seats and a back seat
In Just th same relationship as In a
clovr leaf, but the doors are almost
double as wide as usual. When open,
t.ie door allows entrance to b- made to
either front or rear seat. Still easier
entrance to the rear seat can be had if
desired, by tipping the front seats, both
of which are hinged so as to fold for
ward.
The principal car of the Franklin
aeries is. of course, the five-passenger
touring Job. which sells for SIB3O. The
four-passenger roadster costs SISSO
also, and there is a two-passenger
roadster at SIBOO, this having a very
big boot under the rear deck whict
would hold enough baggage for a
three-months' tour The sedan costs
52750 and the brougham. which is
merely a smaller sedan. $2700. In ad
dition to these cars, there is a limou
sine for S3OOO and a very smart town
car at the same price, while the eight
model is a cabriolet selling at $2654.

U. S. Troops Guard Line,
| All Ready For Bandit Raid
El Paso, Tex., Oct. 28. Every
I ford, bridge and trail along the inter-
I national border in this patrol district
is being guarded by additional United
States troops, in compliance with Sec
rotary of War Baker's warning to
; border commanders to be prepared
! for another Mexican bandit raid on
i the border.
Baker Floundering Denies
He Slandered Heroes
New York. Oct. 2S. Newton D.
Baker, Secretary of War, in a Jetter
to the Democratic National Commlt
! tee, denied that in his Jersey City
'speech on October 16 he had com
pared Washington's ' soldiers with
. ilia's bandits. This speech, as it was
• published at the time, aroused a
storm of Indignation throughout the
country and caused a number o£
i patriotic societies., Including the
. Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. to demand the Secretary's re
moval from office for *.indering the
heroes of '7B.
The Secretary In his denial admits
he cannot give the exact words he
used because he had no notes or
manuscript.
Here Is part of Mr. Baker's speech
as taken down by a stenographer
oresent at the meeting and which he
ertities as u verbatim account" of Mr.
Baker's remarks:
"Some people say I hey cannot un
derstand the President's Mexican
policy, and I want to tell you why.
l'hev have forgotten our own histoiy
and the Declaration of Independence.
Why are wo impatient at the -Mex
icans? We say they do not respect
;he lives and property of our people.
Perhaps they don't. We say they do
not pay their honest debts. They
don't. We say they are a ragmutfln
lot. We say their uioucy Is not any
good. We say they do not respect
•jhtiich property, lhat is also true.
"The amazing thing is that people
ne\er respect these tilings In a re\oiu
tion. We had a x-evoiutlon and lrom
the beginning to the end of that tne
conditions in this country were so like
.Mexico that it is perfectly astounding
to read.
"Washington's soldiers in the march
to Valley Forge stole everything they
could lay their hands on. They stole
the silver vessels from tho churches
and melted them up to buy things to
drink. They drove ministers of the
gospel and preachers of clujrches out
of their churches and out ot the
country. The money of the so-called
confederation was so worthless that
when they tried to make tho merch
ants take it the latter hid tiieir pro
visions in their cellars.
"The President of the I'nitcd
States is in favor of letting the 14,000,-
000 people in Mexico who have not
had an opportunity to do so tight out
their independence in the way we
tought ours. Whenever you hear any
body say they cannot understand the
President's Mexican policy tell them
to go and read the Declaration of In
dependence and the Golden Rule."
Baker Again Attempts
to Evade Real Issue,
Committee Charges
New York, Oct. 28. The follow
ing statement, in part, was issued by
the Republican National Committee
at Republican headquarters last eve
ning:
The campaign of humbug, pretense
and falsehood which has been waged
by the Wilson administration and its
political managers reached its climax
with the issuance at the War Depart
ment by Mr. Baker, Secretary of War
of his astounding statement charging
that some unnamed and unidentified
persons were plotting a new Mexican
outbreak before election day for the
purpose of turning the tide of senti
ment against Wilson.
Same Baker
"This is the same Baker who ten
days ago in Jersey City likened the
heroes of "76 and Va::ey Forge to
the bandits of Villa a..- Carranza.
Having at various times denied that
speech, it was to be expected that he
would deny or modlf> h-a War De
partment statement as soon as he
found that it was not acomplishlntg
what he had hoped for It. But de
nial came from Secretary l.ansiag,
who protested that politics waa not
thought of in the matter.' And Mr.
Baker on hi.s return to Washington,
v-orroborated Mr. Lansing by saying
there was not the slightest politi
cal significance in his statement.
"Only one interpretation of the
statement was possible and that was
that Mr. Baker was charging the
political opponents of the Wilson ad
ministration with plotting active trea
son. And it is incredible that Mr.
Baker had any other purpose In mind
than that when he issued the state
ment.
"Mr. Baker now seeks to evade re
! sponslbility for this charge, but even
!in his efforts at evasion. Mr. Baker
does not free himself from culpability,
i "Challenged in Washington, Mr.
Baker said that the conspirators to
whom the statement referred were
not Americans, hut Mexicans who had
, come to the American side of the bor
der and were carrying on'their plot
ting In the United States. If Mr.
Baker knows of a single man to whom
his assertion applies and does not ln
,. stantly invoke the fcroeess 0 f the law
| against that man, then he is himself
| guilty of violation of his duty and of
' his oath to support the Constitution
and the laws of the United States."

Can't Get Away With His
Campaign of Deception
I New York. Get. 28. The following
I letter wns sent to Vance C. McCormick.

i "My attention has been cal'ed to a

icd a number of American flags. The

"Thio country is not at peace; it hr.r

been no preparedness and our pros-
I perity is wholly due to the war in Eu
rope. .-.nd r.ot at all due to anything
that the Democratic Party has cliam
i pioncd. or accomplished.
"The hsue of this campaign at the

' it?" Can he get a sufficient number
! of voters to believe ;n your campaign
of misrepresentation and deception. It
so, ho can bo elected; if not. he can

Swing to Hughes Shown

oddb obtainable have been 10 to 9. It

314 Hughes Votes Latest
Estimate by Mr. Willcox;
His Election Is Sure
New York, Oct. 28. William R.
Willcox, chairman of the Republican
national committee, claimed the elec
tion of Charles E. Hughes on Novem-
I ber 7 by "over 300 electoral votes."
Mr. Willcox has been all along pre
dicting the election of Mr. Hughes,
but this is t lip nearest he has yet come
to forecasting the number of electoral
votes Mr. Hughes would obtain.
"The Democrats have given up their
campaign in New York and everybody
knows, it," said Mr. Willcox, "We will
carry New York by over 100,000. We
will also carry Ohio. Our fight Is won.
Mr. Hughes will be elected."
While Mr. Willcox would not specify
what Stateb the Republicans would
carry, Charles 11. Warren, national
committeeman from Michigan, a mem
ber of the executive committee and
who has been acting as one of Mr.
Wlllcox's chief aids, befbre leaving for
Michigan gave the following list of
States which he said Mr. Hughes
would carry:
California .... 13 North Dakota. 5
Connecticut . . 7 Ohio 24
Illinois 29 Oregon 5
Indiana 15 Pennsylvania . 38
lowa 13 Rhode Island . 5
Kansas 10 South Dakoft. . 5

Minnesota ... 12 Wisconsin .... 13
New Hampshire 4 Wyoming .... 3

Now York .... 45 Total >SI4
Necessary to a choice, 266.
This list is considered "rock bot
tom" by Mr. Willcox and other Repub
licans and is based on the latest re
ports. It leaves out of consideration
several States In which the Repub
licans believe they still have a chance.
