little as $855, at factory.
The 612, with prices beginning
at this figure, is a large, power
ful automobile.
When you lift the hood, you see
a big engine delivering 62 horse
power, with smooth operation
assured by good balance. A seven
bearing crankshaft (2H inches in
diameter) is supported by a rigid
motor block. Water jackets ex
tend clear to the bottom of every
cylinder, giving compkte and unu
form cooling for dependable per
formance and long life.
Theinternal cxpandinghydraulic
brakes, protected from dirt and
water, are larger than usual in a
car at this price. Brake drums are
machined ab solutely true, insur
ing contact for the full surface
of the brake shoes on all four
wheels. This means less need for
adjustments and relining, and ,
greater security through more
efficient braking.
The emergency brake is entirely
separate, giving the protection

MR. HOOVER'S LEADERSHIP
No President ever entered the
.White House with such credentials
es Mr. Hoover'9. The Republican
candidate carried 40 of the 48 states.
He broke the solid South when Flor
ida, North Carolina, Texas and Vir
ginia renounced their party tradi
tion. His popular vote reached the
(Unprecedented total of 21,943.328.
In the electoral college he polled 444
votes against Mr. Smith's 87. View
ed from whatever angle, the result
was unprecedented, the victor over
whelming. The Man from Mars, look-
ling at the tally, would necessarily
conclude that the Republican party
embodied the beliefs and hopes and
aspirations of the American people
and the Democratic party had been
in effect, annihilated.
. Yet the daministration honeymoon
has hardly waned before Mr. Hoover
finds his leadership gravely challeng
ed. The Senate's defiance of the
President on the issue of farm legis
lation is but one phase of the re
volt. The tariff bill passed by the
House is a brazen violation of the
one specinc pledge wnich .Mr. Hoo
ver made as a candidate and reiter
ated on his assumption of the office.
Instead of readjustment of schedules
which experience may have shown to
be desirable, as entirely new revenue
measure has been framed which car
ries protection to the edge of exclu
sion, and which will, if it becomes a
law, impose an additional burden of
.taxes on the people by increasing the
cost ,of living.
Certain questions are in order.
What does an election mean? What
does party victory mean? Does such
it thing as a political party truly
exist? Here is President Hoover, the
unparalleled choice of the people
whom a Congress dominated In both
houses by his party has refused to
follow. Does the fault lie in Con
gress In the President? In the
people? Has our system of party
government actually broken down?
Is partisanship a mere nominal relic
of a cleavage which once honestly
stood for definite political convictions
and principles?
These questions may be variously
answered, and for the mast part
vaguely; but as to one of them there
can, if we are frank, be a general
agreement. The difficulties which
the President is encountering are
largely of his own making. As a
candidate Mr. Hoover disappointed
many tnougntiui citizens Dy tne
evasiveness of his utterances. He was
wanting In both intellectual integ
rity and moral courage. No man was
able to say. at the end of the cam
paign, Just what Mr. Hoover's pro
gram for farm relief precisely was.
There can be no question in the pub
lic mind today that two of hl3 con-
specuous and effective supporters.
Senators Borah and Brookhart, sin
cerely believed that Mr. Hoover was
ready to accept the export debenture

to bring agriculture to a parity with

him on the strength of the assur

Again, on the subject of prohibi

understood, as certain newspapers
which earnestly advocated his elec
tion have since confessed. As to the
tariff, as we have said, Mr. Hoover's
position was clearly stated, but the
men who framed the Hawley bill
either do not intend to be bound by
their candidate's pledge, or they cyni
cally assume that campaign promises
are designed solely to catch votes
and, having performed their function
are immediately junked.
That, we believe, is a fair diag
nosis of the situation. Whether pres
ent party structures must crumble
and new alignments develop accord
ing to conflicting interests and phil
osophies, as many observers have
forecast, remains to be seen. Mean
time, it may be confidently asserted
that Mr. Hoover does not command
