Many suits cost more than Travlwear,
but none of them will wear as long
Travlwear is a new fabric that answers an old need.
Traveling men and men who drive their cars a lot realize
that the daily trip stretches and strains both fabric and
seam.
f ' b
I ; Some men sacrifice appearance to get a suit that they think'
will “wear like iron” (a bit of irony). Others resign to
K their fate and keep on buying suits.
I; That’s why these men, who are hard on their clothes, are
so enthusiastic about Travlwear.
They know that because the cloth is woven from the
longest strand wool grown it will outwear any ordinary’
suit
They know that Travlwear comes in the newest styles,
English effects, wide trousers and all.
They know they can find a pattern that pleases and a size
!•••>,. that fits.
v
And they got the biggest surprise of their lives when
they realized that the price of Travlwear was only sixty--
five dollars.

Wc’ll pay our income tax next
year with feelings of disgust and
tear, for all our names will be dis
played, together with the sums we’ve
paid. The list must hang, it's been
decreed, where he who runs may
deftly read. Then all the gold brick
men. I wist, will gather round to read
the list, and copies they will make
and lile, to guide them in their work
of guile. And if we’re bothered now
by sharks who size us up as easy
marks, who ring our doorbells every
day, returning when they’re shooed
away, who tag behind us every
where, and fill onr lives with dole
and care, what shall we do in days

The future with despair looks big.

we’ve hunted up your income tax;
the list is tacked to yonder tree
where any passerby may sec; we

say to us in bitter tones; "that rep
resents an income great, so patron

men, by this foolish law, you’ll make
the nerves of voters raw; taxpaying
at its measly best brings sorrow to
the payer’s breast, and yon would

REPUBLICANS WAGING
BITTER SENATE FIGHT
(Continued from First Page.)
States claimed as certainly Democratic
by the Davis management, has a
strong llepubiican senatorial candi
date in Judge Hugh B. Lindsey of
Nashville. Republican hopes are
based largely on the fact that Ten
nessee was carried by Harding in
1920. In Minnesota, despite the
Farmer-l>abor stranglehold, Repub
licans seriously think there’s a chance
of overcoming Magnus Johnson
Thomas I>. Sc hail, the blind member
of the House of Representatives, who
is the Republican nominee, has made
a vigorous campaign. He has deliv
ered his "Coolidge and the Constitu
tion’’ speech more than «00 times in
Minnesota and aroused great en
thusiasm for tho President. O..<>• 1 ;
managers think ho has c ...
swung tho State into the Coolidge
column and cannot figure how he tan
lose it for himself.
See Danger Spot*.
Tho Slates above mentioned prac
tically exhaust the lists of those
which Republicans count on
senatorial gains by defeat mg Homo
crats or Farmer-Labor members now
«luing. In the same breath. Repub
lican manager* acknowledge there
are danger spot: in their own camp
They bracket Wyoming. Delaware and
Colorado as three States in which
trouble is brewing for tho c. »•
Senator Warren, at the ago °f •
and they dean of the Senate, barring
inly Senator l»dge, is immersed in
tho toughest fight of his long political
"areer The First National Bank or
Chevenne, of which Warren is vice
president, failed this year. Ihe
Democrats have placarded the Stair
yvith posters reading: "Did
,\nv Money in Warren’s Bank. it
has proved to be deadly propaganda.
Teapot Dome is in Wyoming, too, ana
there has been very serious farm do
pression there. Warren is the butt of
it all.
Rift ill Delaware.
In Delaware former Senator du
font’s overthrow of Senator Ball In
tho Republican primaries has caused
a rift as wide as the Diamond State
itself. If the factional feud can be
patched up by November 4, du Pont
may be elected. Otherwise he is in
conceded peril.
Senator Andriens A. Jones of New
Mexico, chairman of the Democratic
senatorial campaign committee, as
sures this writer there’s not the
slightest chance of making the next
Senate "safe for Coolidge.” Jones
scents Democratic senatorial victories
in Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jer
sey, New Hampshire and In nearly all
of the Stales where tho Republicans
claim they will unseat sitting Demo
crats. The one exception is Massa
chusetts, whore It is admitted ‘‘Dave’’
Walsh, popular and able as every one
knows him to be, is up against the
Coolidge landslide which is being or
ganized in the Bay State on a pro
digious scale.
Tho G. O. P. senatorial managers
make no bones about their hope that
Coolidge’s popularity will take safely
over the top any number of senatorial
candidates who would otherwise be
in Jeopardy.
