And the best of the Overland-em-

sells for $l,500.
The reason lies in enormous pro-
duction. One Overland factory, with
every machine adapted to a single
model, turns out 80 cars per day, No
other maker attempts t0give what the
Overland gives for the money.

The next order of business was selec-

to get together during the recess, in
order that the nominations might be

evening session.
1t was decided to have three judges

to that effect Two tellers were added.
Fourth Versus Fifth.
Breekons asked for an expression of
opinion on supervisors. how many
should come from each district. That
started something Geo. Davis thought
that if the fifth wanted two senators,
it should give the fourth four super
visOrs, or vice versa. If the fifth want
ed four supervisors, the fourth should
have three senators.
Harris moved the convention take a
recess to eight clock, so the districts
could caucus on the question and come
back with some plan to present. Eben
Low thought the question was as to
how the two districts were to be salts
fed and objected to recess until the
question were settled.

dictrict ought to get fair play. They

fifth three supervisors, the fourth three,
and have the seventh man voted Tor

was a candidate for supervisor but was
willing to take his defeat on that propo-
sition.
Frank K. Archer said that two years
ago the fourth nominated five super
viso~s to ONLY two named by the fifth,
and the fifth 5 came from the outside
districts. Consequently the fourth has
been getting all the road work while
The fifth has been neglected. He
thought the fourth should get three su-
