League Nations Plank In Democratic Platform Woodrow Wilson's Death Makes It Sure That His Followers Will Demand Support of League Before Giving Their Support to Any Candidate nv DAVID LAWRENCE CotvrlfM. 1*24. ky Tl?? Atfvanc? Washington, Feb. 5. ? The death of Woodrow Wilson will have one important effect on the political situation of 1924 ? it will mean the certain inclusion in the Democratic national plat form of a plank declaring for American membership in the League of Nations. There will be enough Wilson men in the. Democratic conven tion to assure the adoption of such a plank. Instead of being regarded as a closed incident the League will be brought into tho political discussion by the can didate nominated, in fact the price of support from the Wil son men to any candidate who comes before the convention will be a pledge to uphold the Wilson foreign policies. Four years ago the Wilson stami> was a liability. One of the first signs of disapproval of James M., ? Cox's arts after his nmninnt Ion p{\m??' from those Democrats who thought he should not have visited Wilson or embraced the League of Nations! idea even though he made it clear he favored reservations. One of the] objections entered at San Francisco against the candidacy of Willlpm! Gibbs McAdoo was that he would in- 1 herit all the opposition to Wilson. | The "son-in-law" argument did im press many delegates. Today the relationship between | Mr. McAdoo and his distinguished , father-in-law, and particularly tho j ??" fact that Mr. Wilson made Mr. Mc Adoo Secretary of the Treasury dur ing the war and also director gener al of the railroads, may prove an as-} ? set to- the McAdoo campaign.? ? -t At the moment the former Secre- ' tary of the Treasury is the center of discussion because of the statement! by E. L. Doheny, oil magnate, that; he hired Mr. McAdoo and paid him ' & large fee after he left the Wilson administration. Many of those with whom the wish is father to the thought consider that the McAdoo candidacy has been killed by that statement. Not so with the McAdoo supporters, who feel confident thel average American eltlsen can dlstin-, guish between a fee given while a public official is in a position of re- ; sponslblllty and a fee given for legal . services when a former official has gone back to his profession. Mr. McAdoo has asked for a( chance to testify and In all probabl!-' ity will have some caustic things to say about his critics who have been] so ready to drag him into a contro versy in which ho feels he had no , part. He had no connection, he In- i slsts, with the oil leases; but pave Ills, legal advice on Mexican matters. The Incident may prove a boomer ang In favor of McAdoo, who always i has exhibited a resiliency in politics. 1 Again and again, he has seemed to be disqualified by one circumstance] or another but the McAdoo follow-] ers have some of the faithful cru- ? ending spirit which they gave Wood row Wilson ? they will not nuit him ; because of an unverified statement! of a man who deserted the Demo cratic party In 1920 and contributed to the Republican campaign fund and whose leases have been annuled largely through the efforts of Dem ocratic members of the United Statea Senate. The Teapot Dome scandal has for the moment been crowded off the stage by the halt of public activities Incident to the death of Wood row Wilson. Mr. McAdoo Is coming here <? to attend the funeral ceremonies af ter which he will go before the Sen ate committee and face his critics as boldly as he has in tho past. ?

Phone* 256 and 396 | Morgan & Parker BUSINESS GOOD j FOR AUTO TRADE Predictions That 1921- Sales Would Not Equal Last: | Year's Shaken hy Unprece- j J dented January Demand. Hy J. C. ROYIjK (Copyright. 1924, By The Advance) I New York, Feb. 6 ? Executives of the larger automobile companies are j returning to their factories from the Chicago nhow with their optimism | sa^esThis year!" The* nuinbe'rof cars} disposed of at Chicago was heavy. | and the interest manifested by deal-, ers was Impressive. i One leading producer said today the ranks of those who had predict ed that 1024 Hales would not equal | those of last year, wore being de- 1 serted. Ford, Chevrolet and Over- 1 land sales in January exceeded ex- j pectatlons. These three companies: expect between them to turn our! four million cars before next New i Years, and it i? now estimated the' remaining manufacturers will turn out at least an additional million. i This will be an increase of 20 per cent over 1023 production. The Ford | sales last month" exceeded 150.000 cars. .Chevrolet disposed of 40,000 and Overland 20,000. Chevrolet sold 483.310 cars last year, and the main factory at Flint, the Detroit plants were forgings, gears, axles and differentials are made, the small parts at Day City and the transmission factory at To ledo have capacity for production this year of from 750,000 to 800,000 cars. The Fisher Body Company has or will have, plants at all the Chev rolet assembly plants at Flint, St. Louis, Janesville, Tarrytown, Buffa lo, Cincinnati and Oakland for build ing closed cars. flie Olds factory at Lansing re corded a gain of 400 per cent in Jan uary as compared with the first month of 1923. More than 8,000 cars were turned out as compared with 1,804 last year. The increase in the sale of closed cars still con tinues to astonish even the men in the trade. For the last two months the closed models sold constituted somewhere between 35 and 40 per cent of the total. C. S. Mott, director and vice presi dent of General Motors, predicted to day that motor sales would be at least as high as those of 19 23, but added that prices might go higher. Recent advances In the prices of 'tires, steel and aluminum, he said, ! were adding to production costs. Steel Interests report a quickening of orders, due largely to the pur aliases of the automobile manufac i turers. President Bartol of the Otis Steel Company of Cleveland, the ! products of which are used extens ively by motor manufacturers, said today the plant of his company was 'operating as near capacity as pob j slble, and that indications for good ? business, at least for the next six months were excellent. I The production of tires at Akron shows little change from the sche idules put into effect in December, I but practically every plant is making j I progress in the reduction of over- 1 head costs. The net gain of one com pany through economies in several departments has been of very con siderable proportions. It is under stood the Goodyear Company has been able to effect a reduction of ex pense in its accounting department. Since the close- of the Chicago show, it has become known that an other strong effort was made to do away with the two great annual auto shows at New York and Chicago, and snhntitutp only ri^alpr shows, with a permanent exhibit at Detroit or Cleveland. The expense of the present show was the chief argu- 1 nient brought forward, but not suf-i flcient sentiment was aroused to as sure the change. The effect of the automobile ac tivity is being felt widely in other industries. Five large mills at La Grange, Georgia, were forced to go on a 24-hour production schedule to day to fill orders for fabric used in seats and tops. J The schooner Flossie M.

Goodwill has come to he a vital factor in the success of any business, and goodwill can only lie created hy right and persistent adver tising. A manufacturer who advertises honestly the stability and quality of his goods sets for himself a standard of production, lie makes a treaty of faith with the buying public which he must uphold at any cost. Frequently, for the purpose of promotion, the manufacturer needs financial assistance. .( The time is fast approaching when hankers, having carefully investigated the standing of a manufacturer desiring a loan, will ask this leading question: "What is his advertising appropriation?"
