Randolph Perkins
Gives Out Statement
On Bergen Election

Republican County Chairman Ran
dolph Perkins gave out this state
ment today in answer to requests
for his views on Tuesdays election
results:
"The voters of Bergen county have
given splendid vote of confidence in
the Republican party and in the can
didates. Two distinct issues were in
volved in the campaign and both
issues were not by the Republicans
without lodging and in a way that
could not be misunderstood.
"In the first place the people of
Bergen county had demanded re-
trenchment, new methods and a
complete house cleaning in the
county government. The Republicans
nominated seven Freebooter candi-
dates pledged to carry out this pro-
gram. Their pledge was clean cut
and specific, and it was given prompt
ly and freely and in all sincerity.
''In the second place the Republi-
can Assembly candidates voiced the
growing sentiment for local option
which simply means home rule as
applied to the liquor question. The
party and it's candidates responded to
public opinion and the result at the
polls showed that the people trusted
the party. Entrusted with great re-
sponsibility the newly elected Of
ficials will keep absolute faith with
the people.
"The party once more thoroughly
united will now address itself to the
task that confronts it in Bergen
county with the same courage and
determination that characterized it's
appeal to the citizens in the recent
campaign.
with the House of Assembly Re-
publican the newly elected Bergen
county assemblymen will no doubt
have an important part in the work
ing out of the constructive policy
that will be adhered to by the Repub-
lican majority in Trenton.
"The result of Tuesdays election
is but the forerunner of still more
emphatic success in the greater COM
paign that awaits us next year when
the reunited Republican party will
sweep the country, the state and the
county"
County Chairman Perkins ex-
pressed regret that County Clerk
Candidate James w. Mercer had fall
len just outside the breastworks, and
had been defeated by George Van
Buskirk. Mr.. Perkins declared that
Mr.. Mercer had made a strong fight
and deserved to win.
The Bergen County Republicans
who gathered at the Washington
Mansion House in Hackensack Tues
day night and early Wednesday
morning to rejoice over the election
returns were warm in their praise of
Chairman Joseph A. Brohel, of the
publicity committee of the recent
campaign. They had also hearty
commentator for Chairman J. O'Con-
nor, of the campaign meetings COM
mittee.

The Palisade Supply Market, A.

recently introduced an automobile de-
livery service. They are Ford de-
livery cars, and are equipped with
solid rubber tires, with air spaces at
intervals on the under side, which
does away with the necessity of
pneumatic tires.

Motor Agent Reports Race Was
Not Up to Previous Perform

l. J. Henderson. of Henderson end

OF the recent 500-mile indianapolis race.
Mr.. Henderson reports the race. while
good one when the results are set
down on paper, was not up to others
he has witnessed from the viewpoint Of
the man looking Tor excitement alone.
The best part Of the race. says Mr.. Hen
derson. was the few laps between De
Palma and Resta, just after Resta gain
ed two laps on De Palma, when the
latter stopped at the pits in he last
part OF the race to have all four tire
changed. He says the speed OF De
Palma for these few laps was better
than 100 miles an hour.
Mr.. Henderson, however, has been
spoiled for excitement Mt automobile
races. He is an enthusiast for motor
| sports At one race which ne attended
he was near one turn in the track where
one OF the contestants jumped his car
off the track and over the head Of a

Motor Business Gives
Writers Ideal Chance

Just as Montague Glass has evolved
Potash and Perlmutter' out of the
seemingly drab affairs of New York o
clothes-making industry, some clever
writer will achieve fame and fortune
by creating a character whose field of
action will be the retail automobile
business" says Walter T. Smith.
Washington agent for the Briggs
Detroiter Company.
"The automobile has developed a slang
of it's own: it has created many new
words, and there are phrases that are
inseparably associated with the use of a
motor car. One of these days some lit
erary genius will stumble upon this
gold mine of story material and take
his place with Chester, Phillips. Glass
and other famous writer's who have
made business a subject of wonderfully
popular fiction"

UPHOLDS RECORD
Goodrich Company Issues Daily
Paper During Races at IN
dIanapoIis Speedway.

One of the best features of the races
was the Silvertown Star published at
the indianapolis speedway track, under
the supervision OF E. c. Tibbitts' adver-
tising director Of the B. F. Goodrich
Company.
During the races every visitor and
every newspaper man was supplied with
a COPY Of the Silvertown Star.
It gave full and complete information
about the race and valuable information
on care Of the tires with pictures OF
the race drivers and cars.
All the cars that finished In addition to
the first ten were equipped with Silver
towns.
Copies of the sivertown Star may
be had at the Goodrich brancn IN this
city or by mail from the B. F. GOOD
rich Company. Akron, Ohio: -
A leading race driver stated that 90
per cent Of the credit for the fast time
and general all around efficiency was
due to Silvertown tires. 25 per cent to
the condition of the track and 20 per
cent to Increased motor efficiency.
Every Silvertown tire In the race was
bought and paid for by the drivers, and
no free tires nor money prizes were
offered. This record is without parallel
! In racing history to have drivers In
dorse tire so unanimously as these
drivers Endorsed Silvertowns.
Spectators were actually disappointed
ad complained because OF lack OF
thrills due to ripping and throwing OF
tires periling drivers.
Carl Fischer. president Of the Speed
way. Indianapolis. stated that never
in the history Of automobile racing
could driver feel so safe because OF
the wonderful consistent performance
and endurance of silvertown tires. II

tory foG Silvertown tires.

pens that when attempting to remove
the tube that II is found to be frozen
to the casing. This IL due to a lack
Of ta!c or soapstone when the tube was
fitted. To displace frozen tube use
gasolene to dissolve the cement-like ma

Air and Carburetion.
Some motorists complain that they
cannot obtain a satisfactory adjustment
Of the carburetor. that a good mixture
at low and high speeds is impossible.
One of the causes 10 that extra air 10
drawn in on the suction stroke Of the
motor diluting the mixture.
II is not always due to worn valve
stems or guides or leaks between the
intake manifold and cylinders, eto.
Sometimes. 1t is due to The butterfly
valve which regulates the supply of rnix-
ture passing from the carburetor to the
cylinders
This valve rotates on a pin or shaft
which extends through the carburetor,
and as the parts are in constant use
considera BILE wear takes place. In time
the wear is such as to make possible
the shaft and it's bearing to affect the
mixture, particularly when the motor IN
operating slowly. A simple test for this
trouble is to squirt gasolene upon the
bearing, and note the effect of the fuel
on the operation of the motor.

A simple and inexpensive starting
crankholder can be made from a strip of

COST OF CHEVROLET
FOUR IS REDUCED
Announcement Gives Reason for
Cut in Price for New Model
for 1916 Season.

The Chevrolet touring car. known as
the Baby Grand" and roadster. known
as the Royal Mall" are announced at
$3.50 and $40, respectively. for the 1916
season by Henderson & Rowe, of Four
teenth street. today.
The Chevrolet Motor Company has
been building fours for many years, and
the announcement says that they will
not depart from this practice now. This
Is Of interest when such a large number
of manufacturers have turned to stxes,
eiEhts. and even twelves.
The manufacturers Of the Chevrolet
point out that they have determined
| upon the four as the safe. simple, cheap
| thoroughly tried and proven motor for
| the average man and driver. They have
| turned all their thought, energy, and
time to perfecting the best possible four
and seen no reason why they should give
up proved principles for untried ones.
| In reference to the reduction in the
prices of the Chevrolet models. the
| statement continues:
The Real Reason.
Our factory production has been dou.
bled and redoubled in the past. and II

Of the demand for this popular car. Ye
in this fact alone cannot be satisfactor
lily explained this phenomenal reduction
in the cost Of a new Chevrolet to the
public.
Even though 1t is a we'll know
fact that greater production enables
an organization to save large amounts
in purchasing materials because of I
lower quotation on greater quantities
and that large capital, specialized
machinery and intelligent factory di
rection make great savings, we d.
not give this alone as the real reA
son for the lower prices on the Chew
rolet.
"The real facts Of the case are tina
we know how to build fours becaus
we have built nothing else for 81
long a time. Beyond that we recog
nize that to be of the greatest serv
Ice to the public. the manufactured

We are about the superiority of tn
Chevrolet and that is why they fal

work and association with the organi

duction to the purchaser because w
can manufacture the cars so muc
cheaper. but because we are willin
to take a smaller profit on the sam
car for which we have heretofore re
ceived more money"
All Chevrolet cars are completed

GREATEST IGNITION
PROVEN IN BIG RACE
Ms Absolute Reliability Shown by
de Palma in Mercedes
Throughout Contest.
BY WILLIAM P. ROSE.

When De Palma rolled into the last
century of the 5oO-mile grind at india
napolis last Monday at a rate of speed
exceeding ninety miles an hour, with
his Mercedes motor singing sweetly and
responding to every touch of the
throttle even at this stage of the race,
and when, several minutes later, after
he had lost more than two laps to Resta
In stopping at his pit to be positive
that his tires would last out the race,
he pulled out on the track and ran away
from the latter with ease, even though
the competition was travelling better
than ninety miles, the breathless audi
ence and the watching world witnessed
a practical demonstration OF the abso-
lutte reliability of ignition and rubber.
Trained engineers have known for
many years how to make good strong
steel into machinery that would work
in harmony. Body experts have known
how to build bodies that would stand
the friction of points and the jar of tes
road. But with the continued and con-
slant investigation into road friction
and the study of the problem of bring
ing an electric spark into contact with
gas vapor so that the vapor would ex-
plode 999 ,999 .999 times out of every billion
the public hesitates to use the automo-
bile in place of the steam or electric
railroad and the one-horse shay.
There has been feeling that the pos
sibility of rain, muddy roads, worn
spark plugs or what not, has made 1t
almost necessary to resort to, what has
been considered. surer forms of trans
portation.
How MANY more times will It be
necessary for de Palma to travel 500
miles at an average speed OF ninety
miles or better. with the one ignition
system and the same set of four wheels.
to make the public mind rest easy con-
cernine the absolute reliability of the
automobile as the most convenient, most
easy, most pleasant, and altogether
sure way to get somewhere?
