I shall also stress the necessity for the third district to elect a congressman who. will represent all the people, all the time, rather than one who is pledged to carry out the mandates of an organized minority. "If successful in my campaign, I shall join those in congress who advocate sound, constructive legislation, including that pertaining to old age pensions, which I heartily favor. I have no criticism to make of any of the organized minorities, or their purposes, and will lend my support to any constructive legislation offered by them.

Worthed Cfa in ccniXaftt In the blistering heat of 102 degrees yesterday, over 400 people gathered at the Michigan Central depot to see the Mercury, new streamlined train of the New York Central railroad system. Although the original schedule did not rail for a stop at Battle Creek, a slow freight preceding it permitted the flier to pause here for five minutes long enough for a hundred people to clamber through the engine cab and car entrances. This "train of tomon-ow" will be used on a Detroit to Cleveland run after finishing an exhibition tour. The train is 641 feet long, and consists of seven full-dimensioned light-weight, steel cars.

The locomotive is a streamlined Pacific type driven by steam. The cars, from front to rear, consist of a com bination passenger and baggage coach, full-length diner, kitchen pantry car, a lounge car with semi circular bar, and parlor and parlor observation cars. Outside, the cars are of turtle-back construction, with windows and doors set flush with the exterior walls. Space between the coaches is entirely sealed by a new method, devised especially for the Mercury. Vibration is prevented by fabric fads and rubber buffers between cars and over and under truck springs.

All wheels on the train are roller bearing. Vapor heat and the newest air-conditioning system, adapted to year-round use, provide for comfort and adequate ventilation at all times.

LANTERN GARDEN NOW HAS AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM Installation of an air conditioning system of the latest type, capable of reducing the temperature of a room over 20 degrees, has just been completed at the Lantern Garden. 7 West Michigan avenue.
