the removal Of Ogden is said to be sla-

annoyed when the Prerogatives Of his

Washington. Sept 80.
The word has come from West Vir-
GINA that the various factions of the
Republican party have laid aside their
political differences for the present in
an effort to do all that is possible to-
ward the election of Republican candi-
dates at the coming election. This
does not mean that there is any degree
of harmony whatever, but that the fac
tions will!agree to an armistice for the
time being, the usual warfare among
them to be resumed Immediately after
the election. OF course Davis Elkins,.

in the election Of any candidate nomi-

they received at the hands of the Gov

each Of them and threw his influence

quality as those found in the most
costly cars in the world.
The Overland is just as accu-

any car on the market regardless
of price
The more You compare this $3.50
car with cars costing 30 per cent.
and even 10 per cent more the
more YOU are brought to realize
that to pay more than $3.50 for this
type of car is absolutely unneees-
sarv.
The Overland costs You less, be,
cause Of our greater production.
Other manufacturers must charge
yon more, because of their smaller
production
And that IS why the Overland
is outselling every other similar car
made. We are delivering 5000
Overlands a month right now.
