IN SPEAKING ABOUT GOV. ALL-

about young Mr. Allred, he’s kept
all of the politicians guessing thus
far. That's probably' the thing he
should do in order to retain his
power,as long as possible—and then
he win still be in the running for
a third term if he decides he wants
the office again.

ITS ABOUT TIME WE HAD A
good, hot political campaign^in Tex-
as. One of .the kind that causes its
to go around about half mad ail the
time, and one that will cause quite
a bit of discussion. As a matter of
fact we believe some good comes
from the discussion cf politics. If
nothing else, most of us are forced
to think a little about our govern-
ment if we do much dismissing of
politics.

T$ ATONEY talks — so take a turn up
1V.1 and down Automobile Row and
see what it says about Buick.
First oflf- you discover that this spark-
ling stepper is the lowest-priced of
all the straight-eights of its size.
Next —it lists at lower figures, even,
than some sixes do, and1 it’s wifhin a
dollar or two a week of several others.
But the story isn’t told in the bare
prices — it’s told in the astonishing
amount those modest figures cover!
In the Special, for instance, you get
122-inch wheelbase, 107 horsepower
with straight-eight smoothness, valve-
in-head efficiency, and the exclusive
newDYNAFLASH brilliahce.und thrift.
You get comfort of a new kind, with
KnccuAction on the front, and the
scoop of the year—BuiCoil TOROL’E-
Free Springing — on the rear.
On top of that, you get elhow-roOni,
leg-room, head-room; smartness
inside and out; and probably the
lightest, sweetest, pleasantest han-
dling wheel you ever laid hands on!
All in all, this great Buick is the’
car that makes little money do a j-
lot of big talking — that’s why
there’s such a mighty fine feeling
to owning it.
