meeting OF the state central COM
mittee OF the Republican party late
Tuesday afternoon. II was decided
that the G.. o. p. spring convention
will be held IN Detroit, Feb. 16.>
Date and place were set without
discussion.
State Chairman John d. Mangum
declared in favor OF returning to the
plan OF selecting national commit
teemen by state conventions and
county committees by county con
ventions instead OF permitting the
voters 20 select them. Mr. Man
gum charged that interference of
the national organization in state
affairs operated TO injure the party
in Michigan.
The committee set the new repre-
sentation basis for delegates to the
state convention at one delegate TO
each $50 votes. which will give
Wayne county an increase from 2l0
10 300 votes and materially reduce
several other counties. including
Kent, which will have only II votes
instead OF 81.

1.34s delegates, instead of i,4o7 in

with the right type of car, the
Chandler Company has stood firm
ly by this type of car. 1t has con-.
tinued to develop this car turnout
these four years until today 1t ap-
proximates perfection In construc-
ton and performance.
We cannot convey to you in the
printed page any full conception
of the superiority of the Chandler
motor, but any one of nearly forty
thousand Chandler owners could
put you alongside him at the
wheel and show you Chandler SUI
periority.
We would be more than pleased
to show you this superiority; we
would be more than pleased to
make clear to you the excellence of
the Chandler car In all its details.
We would like to show to you
what it means in satisfactory road
performance that the Chandler
motor Is equipped with Bosch HiRh
Tension Magnetic as Is the Pierce
Arrow, harmon, Locomobile, VIM
ton, White, Stuff and the Mercer;
what it means to you that the
Chandler car Is built with 4 bic
solid cast aluminium crank case
extending from frame to frame and
giving absolute rieidity to the motor
mounting; that 1t is equipped with
silent chains for driving tho motor
shafts and with annular ball bear
in9s In transmission and dilferen-
tial and rear wheels.
We would like to show you what
these Items of design and equip
ment and many others, typical of
the highest priced hieh-arade cars,
mean to Chandler performances.

Do You Know Why Time The Chandler Has
Passed and Left Behind. One by One, Long
Line Of Other Well known Cars?

There are perhaps several reasons,
all of which would appear very
clearly If you had the opportunity
or took the time to analyze the
history and business policies of the
automobile industry. But there Is
one big basic reason which to you
as motorist Is the essen ial rea-
son, and that one reason Is this
that ever since the first Chandler
car was designed and built and
marketed four yearsaeo last month,
the Chandler has offered the finest
of design, construction and equip
ment at the lowest possible price.
The Chandler today offers this
excess of value, this dependability
of service, just as distinctly as at
any time In the four years past.
1t took some little time, of
course, for a great part of the
motoring world to pin Its conf
dence to this newcomer. Men rec
o9nized, indeed the whole trade
recognized, that new type of car
which must make large appeal had
come into the market. The trade
knew that 1t was the product of
men who knew motor building and
general motor car design and who
were experienced In the best manu-
featuring practices.
Stil1-and remember this was
more than four years aeo-the
trade said Q newcomer could not
win out,
Nevertheless, there were few
hundred Chandler cars manufac-
tured and sold In those months of
the summer and fall of Nineteen
Thirteen.
And how distinctly the Chandler

car for their car, more than twice
as many as had chosen 1t the year
before.
And now comes 1917, a year of
some stress for all trades, a year
above all years when the real worth
In merchandise counts most. And
what is the motoring public 8
answer In its discussion of high
grade cars? What is its answer in
discussion of Skies most particu-
larlys
From coast to coast so far as our
available records show, the Chand-
Ter Is preferred above all other me-
dium-priced cars, above all other
high-grade cars.
Our own sales records show an
increase of better than $500 in the
first six months of this year as COM
pared with the first six months of
last year.
Records of registration of new
cars, although available in only a
few typical sections of the United
States, indicate a tremendous pub
lie preference for the Chandler over
all other cars in its field, in some
instances as much as two- ozone
preference.
We realize that in some isolated
instances, because of peculiar trade
conditions, some other car may
lead, but In the great markets
where men have the choice of all
makes of cars, where every kind
and type of car is represented, sold
and owned, motorists indicate their
preference for the Chandler, and
prove their confidence in the
Chandler, by choosing the Chandler.
Chandler leads because, starting

has won its place In the very front
rank of fine motor cars Is reflected
In the Chandler sales records of
neteen-Fourteen, Fifteen, Six
teen and Seventeen.
} Month by month and season
after season thruout these four
years the Chandler has moved for
ward and forward, until today it's
leadership could hardly be ques-
toned.
Your own observa ton of high
grade cars in service in almost any
market in America would show you
clearly how surely the Chandler
has come into leadership.
This leadership has been built on
the Right Car at the Right Price.
Back In 1914 men were very Gem
orally inclined to recognize that
the Chandler was the right car at
the right price and about two
thousand of them had the COURAGE
to make sure of their convictions.
Those two thousand won thou
sands more to their convictions, so
that in the year following nearly
seven thousand men chose the
Chandler for their car.
And the car went on making
friends by its performance in the
hands of these owners.
The whole country marveled at
thia wonderful motor. at ira mower
Its fexibllity, Its life and getaway,
and Its endurance. The whole
Chandler chassis came to be reco2-
nized as a great mechanism.
So last year, 1916, 1T was hardly
surprising to those who really knew
the Chandler that more than thir-
teen thousand motorists chose this
