'Hiii'ii, .11. in ■ - niwwlHwimu
She’s active, lacks
< < >»
nerves,
and very modern—the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers
She’s active, full of life, lacks “nerves,” and de-
livers a terrific wallop with only the slightest effort.
I mean by that a power-wallop. Because she
turns up 3400 revolutions per minute. Her crank
shaft speed surpasses that of any other American
car.
Though there are three built in the U. S. A.
that get a bit beyond 3100 r. p. m.
It’s like an electric fan, which turns up 4000
r. p. m., or a turbine which does around 4300.
Of course, the Chalmers engine doesn’t hit 3400
all the time. 3400 is the maximum. When the car
is running 5 miles an hour she turns up 250 r. p. m.
At 10 miles an hour she does 500 r. p. m. At
15 she does 750. At 20, 1000. At 30, 1500.
So you see the engine isn’t hitting the highest
speed at the slower car speeds—those speeds you
drive 90 per cent of the time.
In a way it’s like horse-power. You say the
horse-power of your car is 40. You mean by that
the maximum is 40.
Yet at 10 miles an hour you are using probably
less than 10 h. p. While at 20 miles an hour you
are using about 17 or 18 h. p. And so on.
3400 r. p. m. is just another way of stating horse-
power. It’s the modern way. Because it shows
power through supreme engine speed and not
through large bore and stroke, which means a brute
of an engine, and hence a vehicle of great weight.
The day of such a car has gone by. You and
I want a light, spunky beast that responds to the
slightest touch of the accelerator, that pulverizes
hills, that drives straight as a sunbeam, that has
the lure in her lines, and obeys.
That’s the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. I’ve never
had any person buy one and tell me she wasn’t
there. For she is—100 per cent.
Run in and I will show you a car that has
doubled my business.
Ask me about our service inspection coupons.
They are negotiable with all Chalmers dealers
everywhere. This system is a most important con-
sideration in buying your car.

BUFFALO MOTOR COMPANY
Buffalo, Okla
not prepared, and thus they
concede that it should be pre-
pared by refusing to accept
our question. We never expect
to be treated fairly or honorably
)y either Whalen or Morris, and
they will probably have our
defeat all written up before the
debate occurs, however, we
expect to be treated fairly by
the people when the debate
takes placq.
The date of the first discussion
will be on Saturday night. May
1st, about £;U0 o’clock, at Buffa-
lo, Oklahoma.
Their proposal for us to put
up a forfeit of $10 was too ridic-
ulous for us to consider. If our
word is not worth more than $10
it is not worth anything. If
anything unforeseen should
occur to preyent us being
present we would not permit the
measley sum of $10 to stand in
the way.
We will be there. Come and
see us get a skinning.
Prominent Socialist Leaves Party
The following letter appeared
in last week’s issue of the
Johnston County Capital-Demo-
crat:
To the voters of Johnston
County:
1 take this occasion to make
public my denial of affiliation
with the Socialist party. I have
worked for two years and done
everything I could for the move-
ment, but—
Whereas. The Socialist party
has ceased to have any political
virtue attached to it, and I
, desire to denounce the party and
will say that if 1 understand any
part of the English language
the party has become unconsti-
| tutional, as well as unsocialistic.
Now, as to my name, I have
derived the name of Socialist
West.” The public will please
call me Jack, or John or J. R.
from now on or at least call me
anything but “Socialist West.”
As regards the Socialist party,
I left the Democratic party
to join the Socialist party, and I
have heard Democrats say they
did not want a man after he had
belonged to the Socialist party,
so now I am a political orphan
and have no home, so I will take
pleasure in standing just outside
of the road and watch the funer-
al pass by in 1916.
1 now state that I unalterably
oppose the Socialist party. Call
me anything but “Socialis-t
West.” Rather than this name
call me the last sentence of the
name “Rube” gives the Social-
ist, namely: “A Socialist is a
dam fool gone crazy.” Just use
the last word and call me “Crazy
West.”
I remain yours (justanybody’s)
to defeat the Socialist in Okla-
homa in 1916. J- R West,
Emet, Oklahoma.

We have heaid considerable
