Be assured that it is manufactured as a harmonious unit by one factory and is not mere ly an assembly of units purchased from a score of factories and of f red for sale as a finished automo bile. Investigate the standing of the local dealer, his ability to give ser vice, his reputation for doing so. An automobile is a reflection of the experience and the" ideals of the oiganization that produces it. Con sequently, if it is built on a found ation of good, sound manufactui -iiig sense, backed by wide experience, the history of the factory will show this. If you desire the car you purchase to give good, honest service in your hands, if you are seeking durability and economy as well as comfort, Filence and power, you will find it piofitable to learn what the early models of this car were, what they have done and what they are doing now. To assist you then, Mr. Carbuyer, in making an intelligent selection of your, new motor car, I wish to pre sent herewith, a few facts regarding the history of the Cadillac factory and the Cadillac car. Why the Cadillac Dominates: You, ns a prospective car owner, will find it an enlightening study to observe the number of Cadillacs you will meet along the road. Not all of them will be 1914 models, for they wi!I late back to 1902, when the first Cadillac was produced. The Cadillac Motor Car company if. an old company it is one of the pioneers of the automobile industry, in fact, the first really practical mo tor car built in this country was the Cadillac. For many years before automobiles were a commercial possibility the Cadillac company was then known ns the Leland & Falsoner Manufac turing company, engaged in the manufacture of gasoline motors for marine service. They operated one of the largest gear cutting plants in the middle west and built special machinery and fine tools of all de scriptions. This organization was old in ex perience, celebrated for the accuracy of its workmanship and the thor oughness of its methods and an ac knowledged leader in the production cf high grade machinery. The first Cadillacs were built by experts and it is highly profitable for you to know that these same ox ports, with few exceptions but with many additions, are still building Cadillac cars. Cadillac Designs Must Be Correct: Much time was spent by the Cadillac engineers in experimenting with mo tor driven vehicles before it was finally decided to manufacture them. And even then the company did not begin building cars until further ex periments and tests had proven thei designs correct. That is characteristic of the policy of the Cadillac company. Every im provement put on the Cadillac cars bas been a real improvement, not julopted to gratify ,a desire-of-the-nioment, or to make a talking point, but rather to give lasting satisfaction to Cadillac owners. Sixty thousand four-cylinder Ca Oillac motors, all of the same general type, that have been built in ten years of increasing output, are in contestable evidence of the wisdom of Cadillac policy in building only sifter designs were proven correct. Radical and frequent changes of de signs have had no place in the de velopment of the Cadillac. - Cadillac Materials, Too, Are Care fully Tested: The same careful ex perimentation which has preceded the adoption of Cadillac designs has characterized the selection of ma terials with which to build Cadillac larts. Careful tests have been made upon every kind and grade of material in order to determine its suitability for ) the work it should be called upon to do. From the chrome nickel steels for heavy duty parts, to the alum inum castings for oil pans, each material has had to prove, in the laboratories, its fitness and its qual ity before it could be used. Among the Cadillac engineers are expert metalurgists. They have in their possession formulae for numer ous gray iron mixtures, determined by years of experiment- and use and known only to them. That Cadillac gray iron mixtures ore highly regarded by other manu facturers is evidenced by the large number of expensive automobiles driven by motors that were cast in the Cadillac foundry. Cadillac parts and units is secured. All parts are interchangeable, standardized. There is complete harmony in their operating relations with each other, a total absence of ill-fitting joints and bearings. Cadillac standardization, as well as Cadillac designs and Cadillac mator ials, nccounts for the universal popu larity of the Cadillac car, the satis faction of those who use it and their enthusiasm and unqualified praise. All fields of endeavor have their kaders. In the automobile industry that leader is the Cadillac company. Why? Twelve years ago the Cadillac company manufactured the first practical and durable motor car. It was the first company to manufac ture motor cars in quantity. It is today the largest manufacturer of high grade motor cars in the world. Six years ago the Cadillac com pany by massed production- and manufacturing ability was able to produce a high grade motor car which sold for less than J2.000.00. Others followed, the price was met, but how about the quality? How many of those other medium priced cars do you still see in service? Three years ago the Cadillac com pany introduced the electric system of automatic cranking, lighting and ignition. It was a new departure, and the 1912 Cadillac was the only motor car supplied with this device. Today practically every American built car is equipped with an electric self-commencer, a tribue to Cadil lac's progressive leadership. In its thirteen years of increasing popularity Cadillac's greatest triumph has been its exceptional record for sturdiness, economy and durability in the hands of its owners. Another Cadillac triumph of a different na ture, but of equal magnitude, how ever, has been the endorsement of the Cadillac by the Royal Automo bile club- of Creat Britain to the award to it on two separate occa sions of the Dewar trophy. The Dewar trophy was instituted in 1904 by Sir Thomas Dewar, a very prominent non-prohibitionist. The trophy is awarded each year to that motor car which, by its merit, contributes most to the advancement of the automobile industry, hence it is a prize that any automobile man ufacturer might claim as his su preme achievement. The Cadillac is the only motor car to which the Dewar trophy has been awarded twice, and it is the only American car that has ever won this international motor classic. In 1909 the Cadillac was awarded the Dewar trophy in recognition of its perfect standardization, after the most exacting test to which an auto mobile has ever been subjected. That no other car has ever successfully stood this test would indicate that no other car is as completely stand ardized as the Cadillac. For the trial three stock cars were taken from the London sales room of the Cadillac and driven to Brook lands track, where they were com pletely dismantled under the super vision of a technical committee of the Royal Automobile club. All parts were then mixed in a haphazard heap so that identification was impossi ble, and from this pile of Cadillac Parts three cars were reconstructed, but only after eighty-nine parts re quiring greatest ' accuracy had been substituted from the repair stock. In the process of rebuilding only wrenches and screw-drivers were employed. No fitting was permitted, nor was any necessary, since all the Cadillac parts were absolutely ac curate, interchangeable, standard ized. The completion of the test in eluded a drive of 500 miles, which the three reconstructed Cadillacs, each composed of parts taken from the others and from repair stock, accomplished with perfect scores. Cadillac's victory in this contest created an international sensation and for the first time put the high grade American car in a position ahead of the European car of first grade. 1914 Cadillac Again Wins Trophy Each year the contests for the De war trophy take on new conditions, although they always include a thor ough test of the efficiency of the car on trial. The second Cadillac victory, won by the 1914 Cadillac, was based on a test even more comprehensive than was the standardization test of 1909, It involved the driving of 1,000 miles over all sorts of roads at a compul sory speed of 19.5 miles per hour. It included the thorough testing of fuel and oil consumption, the determina tion of the reliability and strength of the electrical cranking and light ing system and other considerations on which are dependent a car's road ability and efficiency. And now comes the sensation of another advancement. Since the an nouneement of the new Cadillac eight cyiyinder car in the Saturday Even ing Post on September 19, 1914, it has been on the tongues and in the minds of every one who ever heard jf an automobile, even though they never owned an auto cap or an auto veil; whether it be a man with a $6,000 90 kilowatt Chinese-Italian racer, holding all speed records of traveling through space without leaving the ground, or whether it was a man who at heart knows he will probably never be able to own even a second-hand Ford roadster. The 1915 Cadillac eight cylinder is not a radical change from the proven design of the Cadillac, because the best features of the old models have been maintained 'and a mere im provement has been made in the en tire car, although the only one we think of is the motor, owing to the number of cylinders put to use which we are not yet acquainted with. Every one will remember what a tremendous volume of ink was spread over the subject when the six cylinder engine was first nois3d amongst us, even the advancement to the four cylinder from the three and the three from the two, etc., and in those days we were all astonished you may wonder! now that are going to have eight cylinder mo tors in quantities will the next ad vancement be a ten or twelve cylin der? It's likely to if the mechani cal engineers and producers of sam-3 can convince us of its advantages over the types we already have. Just as in the old, days, and evei at the present time, one always d? scribed the excellence of the six. cylinder engine by comparing it with the four cylinder, so we will now dis cuss the eight in terms of the six, over which it has several very pir- j nounced advantages. 1. Size. In length, which is tho only dimension that matters, within reasonable limits, on a motor car, the eight cylinder is preferable to the six, by a matter of 30. per cent. The space available for bodywork upon the chassis is, therefore, much great er, and this in itself is a point of enormous importance. But of even more value still are the advantages which follow on the use of a short engine. The crankshaft has all of its throws in one plane, and ii therefore cheaper to manufacture than the crankshaft of a six cylin der engine, the throws of which lie in three planes, as each pair is at n angle of 120 degrees to the oth ers. Again, the crankshaft bein-; horur possesses less torsional elas ticity; therefore periodic vibration, which is so bad 'a characteristic of six cylinder engines, unless special preventive measures are taken, is greatly reduced. In like manner the camshaft is shorter, and periodic ibrations arising from this source are also reduced. No great length of inlet piping is required, as is the ase with the six, as the four V- form cylinders lend themselves very readily to a piping arrangement which gives each cylinder practi cally an equal chance of getting a full charge of gas that is to say, no cylinders are likely to be starved. 2 Weight. Power for power, nd allowing equal strength of material. the eight cylinder is lighter than th5 six, owing to the shorter crank cas; lighter crankshaft, lighter flywheel, shorter camshaft and lighter recipro cating parts (the cylinders being smaller), and this again' is a great advantage. 3. Torque. The eight cylinder has a 33 1-3 per cent better torque han the six, as previously de scribed. 4. Balance. Theoretically, both engines are equal in this respect that is to say, both, are perfect. But periodic crankshaft vibration is far more likely to occur in the six than in the eight cylinder. In the former it can only be prevented by special balancing devices, or by the use of a crankshaft of great strength and stiffness. - ' 5. Cooling. The eight cylinder U preferable to the six, as each row of cylinders can be treated as a sepa rate unit, and if the valve chambers face one another it will be seen that the water circulation has no ten dency to form "pockets" around he valves. Each- engine unit beins smaller, a thermo-syphon system of circulation can be used without re quiring the radiator to be placed very high above the engine. In other words, if the inclination of the water outlet from the head of the cylinders is to be the same in each case, ' the six Cylinder engine requires the radi ator more than half as high again above as in the eight, for in the V type the water jackets also oeceup? a lower position. In brief, the great advantages of the eight cylinder engine are its small size, light weight, excellent torque, perfect balance and good car buretion. In all" of which points it is equalled by no other type of en gine at present applied to motor car propulsion. The sweetest running car in the world. This is the verdict of those who have experienced the super luxury of the Cadillac eight. The old Cadillac saying, "Just get in and ride," applies with greater signifi cance now than ever before. As th Cadillac softly speeds along under the almost magic influence of this new power principle, it gives you the impression that the eight cylinder tar has something on the old types which makes riding in it compare with touring in its predecessors as does riding on the Twentieth Century Limited with going from here to Maricopa on an Arizona Eastern freight. Good roads yield up a vel vet quality of travel undreamed of: bad roads lose much of their terror and hills seem almost to flatten out before you. So easily, so smoothly, so quietly and with so little appar ent effort does the car surmount them. The Bupreme motoring experience of your life, gentlemen, awaits you when you take your first ride in this truly remarkable car. o CHOLERA ON DECLINE VIENNA, Oct. 25. A rapid decline of the cholera and dystemy cases will follow the splendid sanitary measures taken by the government 1 according to correspondents. HAYDEN JOINS DEMOS IN BiSBEE TOMORROW Hon. Carl Hayden, congressman from Arizona, will join the demo cratic campaign forces at Bisbee to morrow. In a wire to C. B. Wood of this city, Mr. Hayden advises that he is in Chicago, en route for his home state, and that he expects to reach Bisbee in time to become a member of the speaking delegation. He will be on the stump at Tucson, Florence and Phoenix during the com ing week. CARMAN JURY IS (Continued From Page One) wearing a light shirtwaist and a dark skirt, was moving away from one of the windows at the side of the physi cian's office toward the rear of the house. She was walking "in a hurry", the witness swore. On the strength of the testimony of Bardes and other witnesses heard at the preliminary hearing Mrs. Carman was indicted on a charge of man slaughter. While she was at liberty under bond the authorities pursued their quest for further evidence. Dr. Carman's house and grounds were ran sacked in an effort to find a trace of the weapon with which the murder had been committed. So far as is known this search for the revolver was fruit less. REPORT CANAL CROSSING Germans Announce Their Troops Have Advanced at Several Points AMSTERDAM, (via London) Oct. la. A Berlin dispatch gives this re port from German general headquart ers on Sunday morning: "The Yser-Ypres canal between Xieuport and Dixmude was crossed on Saturday by further strong Ger man forces after heavy fighting. East and northeast of Ypres the enemy received reinforcements, but in spite of this our troops advanced at sev eral points capturing 500 British, imong them twenty-eight officers, in cluding a colonel. In the east our forces have begun an offensive move ment on Augustowo. Ne:ir Lyan gored our troops are fighting jointly with Austro-Hungarians and have taken 1800 prisoners." o NEGRO IS 1-NCHED r ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH) NEWPORT, Ark., Oct. 25. Howard Davis, the negro who shot Tind killed City Marshal Payne today, was lynched soon afterwards. A mob is in pur suit of two other negroes who with Davis fired on the marshal when he at tempted to arrest them for a disturb ance. Davis was unable to escape and was shot in the leg by Payne, after h was mortally wounded. COAL SITUATION ALARMING ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH VENICE, Oct. 25. -The coal situa tion in Austria is becoming alarming. The reserve stocks have been used and dealers are barely able to meet current demands. The cold weather is feared. CAPITAL BACK TO PARIS ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH LONDON, Oct. 25. "An early re turn of the government to Paris is seriously considered," says a Reuter Paris dispatch. "The military situa tion is considered satisfactory." o DIAZ HA.S RECOVERED ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH LONDON, Oct. 25. Former Presi dent Porfio Diaz of Mexico has com pletely recovered at Biarritz, France, says a Reuter, Madrid, dispatch. o RUSSIA'S INCOME TAX ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH PETROGRAD, Oct. 25. Russia will soon promulgate an income tax- to replace the enormous income of the vodka monopoly amounting to four hundred millions annually. o ORDER QUEBEC RIFLES QUEBEC, Canada. Oct. 25. The rifle factory has received a British order for 14,000 rifles of the Cana dian type to be delivered within a year. GEN. DOUGLAS DEAD (ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH! LONDON. Oct. 25. General Sir Charles Willingham Hoursley Douglas, chief of the imperial general staff, suc ceeding Sir John French last April, died today. o AIR BOMBS HARMLESS associated press dispatch CEMIXJE. (via London), Oct. 25. Three Austrian aeroplanes dropped bombs on Antivari without effect. They were apparently directed at the French aeroplanes brought here by the fleet VON MOLTKE IMPROVING t ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH AMSTERDAM, (via London) Oct. 25. The condition of General Van Moltke, chief of the German general staff, who is suffering from an affection of the liver, is greatly improved, according to a Berlin dispatch. NOT TO BE TRUSTED "What's yours?" "Coffee and rolls, my girl." One of those Iron-heavy, quarter inch thick mugs of coffee was pushed over the counter. The fastidious per son seemed dazed. He looked under the mug and over it. "But where is the saucer?" he in ouired. "Wo don't rlve no saucers here. If we did, some low-browd's come pilin in an' drink out of his saucer, an' we'd lost a lot of our swellest trade.' GREAT PICTURES FOR POPULAR PLAZA THEATER "In the Grip of King Alcohol" is a picture with a purpose. Its purpose is to teach the evils of intemperance, es pecially the danger of liquor drinking, and because of the present wet and dry campaign in Arizona, its showing here is peculiarly in point. Manager Caveness of the Plaza theater has se cured the exclusive of this interesting three reel Pahe picture and will pro duce it for the benefit of his patrons tomorrow. In speaking of the picture yesterday he said: "Every one who be lieves in voting dry should see the pic ture before voting, and the same thing applies to every one who believes in voting wet." The picture will no doubt cause a sensation because it is produced with the usual Pathe devotion to detail and exactness. It tells a terrible story well and with thrilling effect. The picture is said by all who have seen it to be well worth seeing. For today's program Mr. Caveness will show "The Shadows of the Moulin Rouge" a great four part picture, and in addition two other single reel pic tures of beauty "Love's Old Dream" and "Playing for a Fortune." o (Continued From Page One) er for some portion of the present un satisfactory situation." Thomas Temperly, of Bolton, in a letter on the plight of the cotton trade, charges that "Liverpool cotton lords" are supported by English banks in keeping the Liverpool cotton market closed and preventing mills from get ting the supply of raw cotton they need. This is much the same position taken by Gordon Harvey, a member of parliament, who charged that Liver pool interests maintain an artificial cotton market and even when the Liv erpool market is open do not pcrniit trading unless prices are in their favor. Direct importation of cotton to Man chester by the manufacturers who re quire it is urged by Mr. Temperly. o TWENTY-THREE TRAFFIC (Continued From Page One) there dinner was enjoyed, with ap petites sharpened by the crisp air of the valley, and the beautiful sights they had seen. More rides were taken after dinner and in the evening with expressions of good will toward Phoenix and the live railroad men hr-re, the visiting agents and their wives pulled out on the Southern Pacific for the other portion of the trip home. Since leav ing the big Bay City the party has been well entertained at San Jose, Riverside and the Grand Canyon. The Phoenix entertainment, however, made a great impression ,on them. o GERMANY MAY LAND TROOPS IN CANADA ASSOCIATED PRESS PISrATCH WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. Germany's right to land troops in Canada to secure a temporary foothold on the American continent was upheld by the German ambassador. Count Von Bernstorff, who declared this is not a violation of the Monroe doctrine. Two months ago Germany gave as surances that in case she won over the allies, no attempt would be made to colonize South America. Bern storff insists this had no reference to North America and says if Canada has the right to send troops to Europe Germany has the right to send troops to Canada. This is not affected by the Monroe doctrine. o U-9 SAFE AT HOME. German Terror of the Seas Returns from an Adventurous Voyage. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH Berlin, (vit Rome), Oct. 25The Ger man terror of the seas, U-9, which sank the British cruiser Hawke, re turned safely to her home harbor on Friday after an adventurous voy age during which she sent four Brit ish cruisers to the bottom. The en terprise and ' skill of Commander Weddigen of the IT-9, who seems to operate under a particularly lucky star, was rewarded by the decora tion of the Order of Merit. Mesides the Hawke the U-9 has to her credit the sinking of the British cruisers Hogue, Aboukir and Cressy. REDUCE REPRESENTATION ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The bitter fight waged since 1880 to reduce the southern representation in the Re publican National Convention, has been won. Charles D. Itilles, chair man of the republican national com mittee announced the cail for the 1918 convention will be on a new- basis reducing the number of dele gates to eighty-nine. Most of the loss falls on the' south. The new basis is approved by the conventions of states casting the majority of votes in the electoral college. o COTTON NOT CONTRABAND ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. Great Britain has assured the United States that England will not interfere with American shipments of cotton as "contraband of war." This attitude makes safe the movement of Amerl can cotton everywhere including Germany. ARMISTICE IS BROKEN ASSOCIATED PKESS DISPATCH! EL PASO, Oct. 25.

Why Not Use the Referendum or Recall The proposed "Anti-Veto Law"' reads: "The veto power of the Governor or the power of the Leg islature to repeal or amend, shall not extend to the initiative or referendum measures approved by the majority of the qualified electors." In other words, the untried, unamended law of the volunteer law-maker would have to stand exactly as at first initiated. If found to be faulty, the 54 men of the Legislature would be de"ied the right to make the necessary corrections, and the law remain useless until again voted upon by the people. Why not avail ourselves of the ability of our Leg islature. Under the proposed law not even a technical error could be changed, thus making the law invalid.
