PLEASANT PERSONAL TRAITS
OF PRINCE WIN HIM ADMIRERS
Witnesses of His- Public Appearances in
Canada Declare Hi's Bearing Stamps
Him as a "Regular Fellow."
Testimony as to the tact, geniality
and pleasing personal appearance of
the Prince of Wales, who Is due to
arrive in the National Capital Tuesday,
is being enthusiastically given by
those fortunate enough to see the
future ruler's cordial reception by all
parts of Canada, a cordiality made
ever more and more cordial as it was
borne in on the citizens of the IHnninion
what a really tine young man they were
j entertaining. '
Some of the persons who saw the
"doings" at various Canadian cities
and were lucky enough to come in
close contact with the eldest son of
George V. are now in Washington.
They seem to think this National
j Capital is taking the approaching visit
very much as a matter of course ni>n
are wishful that there might be a little
more interest and enthusiasm, not so
much because of his rank, but because
of the sort of fellow he undoubtedly is.
Visit Cemented Friendship.
"Ills visit to Canada has done more
than anything else possibly could to
cement the bonds between her and
the mother country," said one man
yesterday, whose business interests
take him frequently all over the
Dominion. "If he'd been the 'wrong
sort' he might easily have complicated
a delicate and peculiar situation exist
t ing between a real democracy and its
'titular royal sovereign. Hut he was
the right sort, and he has boomed the
stock of British royalty in Panada tr>
an unbelievable extent. I guess Mr.
George Windsor knew what he was
doing when he sent him off on the lit
tle trip.
'Of course, returned Canadian sol
diers. with whom he became immense
ly popular on the western front, had
paved the way by boosting his stock.

COLORED REPUBLICANS
OF RICHMOND ACTIVE
Expect to Increase Virginia Vote
Next Tear?Soldier Element
a New Factor.
RICHMOND, November 8.?The col
ored republicans of Richmond are active
tnd the indications are that a largely
Increased colored vote will be cast In
Virginia next year. James W. Poe, for
merly president of the Lincoln National
Republican League at Washington, and
H. H. Price, the Virginia state organ
izer of the National Colored Race Con
gress, with other colored men at Rich
mond, have been holding conferences to
formulate plans for active work.
The Lincoln National Republican
League will be reorganised with head
quarters at 316 East Leigh street ana
the Virginia National Race Congress
headquarters will be at 12 East Jaclcson
street The two organizations will co
operate and Poe and Price will work to
gether. They are looking forward to
plans to increase the number of colored
republican delegates from the south to
the republican national convention next
summer.
James W. Poe said In a recent confer
ence: "The part that colored men play
ed in the world war is going to greatly
increase the political Inspirations and
aspirations of colored republicans all
over the country. The south his always
sent a large number of colored delegates
to republican national conventions, and
in my opinion the usual number will be
doubled next summer. The District o!
Columbia will, as in former years, divide
its delegation of two, sending one white
and one colored delegate. Few of the
colored men who served in the recent
war will be selected for delegates, but
the older men who know more about
politics will be selected and will be sup
ported by the younger soldier element."
If plans on foot are successful Poe
will be re-elected president of the Lin
coln National Republican League and
will be urged for secretary of the Rich
mond City Republican Club, to be or
ganized this week. Organizer Price will
be urged for president of the City Col
ored Republican Club.

"He has such a pleasant face and

"No amount of training in youth can

he evidences and which must be born

me was that if he hadn't been born,

"All I can say of him is that he's a
'regular fellow,' and Americans know
what that implies. Me wants to be
liked and conducts himself accord
ingly. and those two qualities alone
ought to insure any young man of
good family a generous recaption
wherever he goes."

Motor transport it the second

So war taught wondrous things in

manufacture.
The AO-American Super-Truck
embodies United States war experi
ence on the Mexican border and in
France.
Its constmcliou is the simple,
clean design that the hardest truck
work in the world dictates. Its motor
has 35 per cent surplus power to
take care of the strains for which *D
makers do not provide. It has that
much more power than others of
equal carrying capacity.
The backbone of the AD-Ameri
can, the load-carrier, is a frame of
5-inch pressed steel channel. It is
the only truck we know of, in its
capacity and price class, that has so
strong a frame.
Its construction is probably just
what you would O. K. if building
the best truck that money could buy.
The famous Hotchkiss drive is used;
a rear axle that delivers 25 per cent
to 50 per cent more power to the
wheels than do other types; large
braking surfaces; multiple dry-disc
clutch; Thermo-Syphon cooling sys
tem; finned tube core; high tension
magneto; a surplus powered motor
and other approved features.
Come in and look over this truck
that embodies U. S. war experience.
