Communicated SENATOR JAMES THINKS JUDGE BARTLETT SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED ON RECORD. Hon. Ollie M. James, of Ken tucky, is now a conspicuous dem ocratic leader in the house, and has been elected to the senate, taking his seat next March. He was the permanent chair man of the recent national dem ocratic convention at Baltimore, and was chairman of the notifica tion committee which last week formally notified Governor Wood row Wilson of his nomination. Hisfspeech on that occasion has enthused and inspired the demo cratic voters of the entire country. Senator James and Judge Bart lett have been associated in the house for many years past, and have stood shoulder to shoulder in the democratic minority fight ing the battle of the people. The following letter from him shows his estimate of Judge Bart lett’s standing as a member of the house, and his value to the party and to thejpeople: 4 --'ll “House of Representative, U.

Jfjyi ssa- - ■ A Distinction With a Difference YOU may not always get what you pay for. It takes a good judge of values to do that, but if there is one sure rule in business it is—you pay for all you get. You may not be able to see the difference between engines of similar appearance at different prices, but if you buy from a reputable firm you may be sure the difference in quality is there. 111 C Oil and Gasoline Engines cost more than some others because they are more carefully made, and more thoroughly tested. Skillful designing, better material, better workmanship, more careful assembling, and more thorough testing, tell in the long run. Given equal care an 1H C engine costs less per year of service than any other engine you can buy. If an 1H C engine is given all the work it will do, pumping, sawing wood, running the grindstone, feed grinder, hay press, silage cutter, repair shop machines, cream separator, churn, washing machine, etc., etc., it will pay tor itself in a very short time in money and labor saved. I H C engines are made in every style horizontal, vertical, a r and water-cooled, stationary, portable and mounted on skids, to operate on gas, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, dis tillate or alcohol, in sizes from 1 to 50 H.
