Bryan Picks Sproul as Presidential Nominee Washington, D. C. t Aug. 30. William J. Bryan, who dropped off in Washington to present his Ideas on the railroad question to a Con gressional committee, regards Gov ernor Sproul as a likely Republi can Presidential nominee. An effort to draw Colonel Bryan out on Democratic candidates was futile, but he was more communica tive when it came to Republican possibilities. "I should say Governor Sproul's chances are the best of all those who have been mentioned for the Republican nomination," he said. "I said that three months ago.

After he had witnessed the peace parade in London, when he was re ceived by King George, Queen Mary and the Dowager Queen Alexandre and scores of other notables, a group of American officers engaged him in conversation, desirous of finding how much the boy had been im pressed by the introduction to high personages.

DELIVERY CAR WINS BIG RACE AFTER GREAT SERVICE IN ARMY All Competitors Outrun by War-Scarred Veteran of Many Campaigns; 50,000 Soldiers See Speed Classic Merchants, farmers and other users of light commercial cars who appre ciate what motorized equipment means In the way of quick and re liable service, will be Interested in a race story brought back from France by discharged soldiers. As told by Major Hayes McFarland, who wont overseas in command of the 311 th Supply Train, the story ia re produced from Automobile Topics of July 12: "Those Memorial Day races ut St. Nazaire and the entirely care-free performance- of a battle-scarred Dodge Brothers light delivery truck are still talked of wherever there are doughboys who were coming through that port about the first of June on their way home. Four first places and two seconds against a mixed fields out of-six events scheduled, is a good score for any car. Hence the pride of the 311 th Supply Train and of the Motor Transport Officers at Nantes. France, in the little racer which they rebuilt in five days out of a truck that had been all over the battle fields and had come finally to the Nantes park. For the car which rep resented Nantes at the races on La Baule Beach near St. Nazaire turned in just such a score, after exactly that war experience. "Fifty thousand soldiers, it is esti mated. were waiting at St. Nazaire to have their service records checked up and the last animate traces of their overseas service removed from their persons. For Memorial Day byway of celebration an automobile race was plainly indicated, as the doctors say. When permission was given some three weeks before the event there was a wild rush, to use the words of an officer who was present, to build racing cars in every Motor Transport shop in St. Nazaire, and every town within the limits of Base Section No. 1, S. O. S., for which that well known port is headquarters. Some 40 cars were finally entered, ranging in size from the ever present four whose name needs no mention, to sixes, eights and twelves. "Mbtor Service I'ark "767" at Nan tes picked the best material it had available, a Dodge Brothers light de livery vehicle which, after hard serv ice at the front, had been driven overland to the park, where it was being kept in general service. To make a racer out of it, the-fenders and body were removed, the wheel base shortened to 100 inches, the com pression increased by planing down the cylinder heads slightly, recipro cating parts lightened, and a stock roadster gearset substituted for the commercial gear ratio already in place. With these few changes the car was ready for its mile-a-minute performance in races from one to 19 miles on a beach that was only seven miles long. 'ln the first race, one mile against time in a field of ten starters, the lit tle car finished second with a time of 53.4 seconds. It won the second race, 21 miles, free-for-all, with 13 starters, showing 21 minutes 4 sec onds for the distance and beating cars considerably larger and usually regarded as more powerful. "The second day's racing turned out a large crowd to cheer for the little white racer with its red "N" in a circle. The first race of the second day was at 14 miles for light cars only. The Nantes entry won easily; time 13 minutes 19.4 seconds. The next race was a 49-mile free for all with 16 starters. Over this distance the rough surface of the course nad a chance to make itself felt, and one of the entrants turned over, killing M giiISEBIIIRHIIIIH ■ SPECIAL LIMITED ■ ; TIRE SALE i m BIG SHIPMENT JUST RECEIVED, ALL NON-SKID TREADS m INTRODUCTORY PRICES 2 ■ SIZE PRICE GRAY TUBE ■ ■ 30x3 $9.75 $1.85 ■ 01 30x354 $12.50 $2.10 ■ S3 32x354 $14.40 $2.50 31x4 $19.80 $3.10 a 32x4 $20.75 $3.50 Z 33x4 $21.60 $3.80 34x4 $22.25 $3.90 ■ 35x454 $29.85 $4.90 ■ jj IF YOU NEED A TIRE—BUY TODAY ' ■ ANDREW REDMOND ■ g| THIRD & HAMILTON STS.

'The third day of the race meet promised a double winning. The first event was a mile against time for light cars only, and this proved • asy for Park "767'5" entry, the time being 50 seconds flat. The final was a *ree for-all with officers driving at 49 miles. The earlier races had been run with enlisted men at the wheel, and the "N" racer had been piloted by Sergt. Paul Harvey, with Sergt. William Mowry as mechanician. For the last event, Lieut. Noble Van BuM'.- leo replaced the sergeants of the 311 th Supply Train. There were 20 entries and on the fourth lap, some where between 21 and 28 miles on the way home, the Dodge racer was a mile ahead of its field when the race I had to be stopped on account of two serious accidents. | "To pyperly Judge tho time It must | be remembered that the beach at La : Baule is only seven miles long and i narrow.
