THE SEELEY SYSTEM
OF IGNITION WINNING
A LOS ANGELES INDUSTRY
WHICH is MAKING GOOD
Complete Description of What May Be
Termed Bottled Lightning" That
Gives More Speed to
Automobiles

It is safe to say that no improve
ment in motor accessories which has
come out in late years has attracted
more attention and favorable comment
than the Seeley ignition system, the
invention of Mr.. j. e. Seeley of this
city, we'll known as the inventor of
the synchronous transformer, an X
ray machine which is now meeting
with wide sale in this country, Franco
and England. The ignition system
consists of a condenser, inclosed in a
neat mahogany box about 3X4X7 inches
in dimensions, and a resonator (coiD
for each cylinder, sealed in a heat
proof case scarcely larger than an old
fashioned silver watch and designed
to attach by metal bracket to each
cylinder of the motor in close proxim-
ity to the spark plug, doing away with
the necessity for secondary cables
Owing to the total absence of vibra-
tors or working mechanism of any
kind, there is no necessity tor having
the condenser in a readily accessible
location, therefore it is usually mount
ed to the frame or dash under the
hood, leaving the dash clean with the
exception Of the switch-an advantage
all appreciate.
The circuit controller, which as a
part OF In6 SYSTEM, Is q tHSSAloAAiSol
and electrical masterpiece in a class by
itself-not to be confused with ordinary
timers-built with the utmost care and
precision. The mechanism is simplic
ity itself and the instrument is guar
anteed for 10000 miles, This system is
a radical departure from existing sys-
TENS and has been pronounced by
Americas best motor authorities to be
the greatest advance in ignition that
has been made in years. Many local
dealers rental concerns and private in
dividuals have tested its merits and
speak of it in the highest terms, some
local dealers going so far as to order
the cars they handle shipped from the
factory without the ordinary ignition
system, magnetos, etc, and installing
the Seeley system after they arrive, for
the reason that the cars work better
and sell better with this system.
1t delivers a plurality of discharge
literally "a whole fistful," as some
have expressed it-at each break of the
contact, without the use of vibrators,
the results being accomplished electric
ally. The discharge is osciliatory and
of more than 200 times that of the
vibrator coil in volume.
No SCOT can remain in it's path. Its
explosive action on gases is tremend-
Gus, and the makers guarantee a sub
stantial saving in fuel and increase in
power by it's use. The windings are
guaranteed for five years not to burn

Republican and Democratic Reg
nlars Will Dominate Party
Conventions and Committees
McNab Won a More Decisive
Victory Than Fell to Lot
of Tim Sullivan


Both the republican and democratic
organizations will dominate the con-
ventions which will be called within
two weeks to frame platform for the
nominees and to name the county COM
mittees of the party. But while the
McNab democratic organization won a
decisive victory, carrying every dis
trict with the exception of two insig-
nificant ones, the republican organiza-
ton victory was won by a very narrow
margin. Out of 165 delegates, the re-
publican machine will control only 90,
while the Independents who supported
Mauzy win have 75
On the republican side the fighting
for delegates was close, the contest be-
ing spirited, although waged on a small
nominations. Many voters tired be-
fore they reached the delegates and
forgot to use their pastors
The. organization republicans won
the thirtieth. thirty first. thirty-sixth.
thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, fortieth,
forty-first. forty-second, forty-fourth
and forty fifth, while the Independents
captured the twenty eighth, twenty
ninth. thirty second. thirty third
thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, thirty-nint
and forty-third
RESULT OF COMPROMISE
The winning of the twenty eighth.
twenty ninth and forty-third was due
partly to a compromise by which the
opposition was given part of these del
egations. Tom Finn controls a dele
gate in the twenty eighth and another
in the twenty-ninth, sharing honors
with Peter ]. Kelly, while Nick Bebab
gets one delegate in the forty third.
In the thirty-second Dick Welch won
out majority of his ticket against the
organization after a hotly contested
fight. but lost three delegates. the op-
position Pumping for three men on the
other ticket who were particularly
popular.
The McNab forces captured every
district except the twenty ninth and
thirtieth. Even the thirty ninth, which
has gone against them during the last
few campaigns, was restored to the
fold this time.
