They could not re- fuse forgiveness, under their ethics, o Champ was duly restored between open- ing hymnn and benediction. He always was a good politician. He could say some of the roughest things on the spur of the moment and get the readiest appreciation from his , own followers, of any man who ever led a party faction in Congress. He held the affection as well as the respect of the great rank and file of democrats who have served with him and of republicans as woll. He was popular with many of the men from the countryside districts because he knew the life so well. Champ Clark's congressional career began when Congress was called in , extra session by President Cleveland, in August, 1893, to repeal the silver purchasing act. He came to Wash- ‘ ington with a happy introduction through having made a speech before Tammany Hall. He had not long to wait before showing his prowess. Within two week¥ after Congress convened he was on his feet on,the floor of the House, delivering a free + silver speech which was one ef the most notable of all the speeches de- livered in that memorable session. He found himself in the company of great men—there were, ‘Charles F. Crisp, William J. Bryan, W. Bourke Cockran, Charles H.

NW, - OLDEST SAVINGS ! N the past few years the one conspicuous tendency in the automobile business has. been toward the well-built, serviceable, and light weight six-cylinder car. Public and manufactureralike have recog- nized this type of car as best suited to the general needfor pleasant, reliable andlow-cost personal transportation. As far back as six years ago, Oakland seri- ously undertook the production of an auto- mobile of this kind. Without interruption since, it has concen- trated its energies on refining and improving its original model—a model that was basically right at the start. More Power in. the Oakland Today the Oakland Sensible Six caris in our opinion without rival in the world in point of combined efficiency and low cost. Its engine is of overhead-valve design—a design clearly demonstrated as superior by its use in all airplane and racing car engines. The Oakland engine delivers more power than others of similar size because its over- head-valve cylinder is the nearest possible miles per gallon of gasoline, more power per pound of car weight, quicker getaway, easier hill-climbing and greater flexibility, than are available in any other car at anywhere near the Oakland price. The Simple and Rugged Chasszs The foundation of the Oakland chassis is the powerful 624-inch-deep steel frame. Reinforced by four very heavy cross- members, it forms a stout and rigid support for the body that will not weave or sag. Every detail of the Oakland chassis is simi- larly strong and lasting, from the drop-forged steel spring-hangers to the precisely cut trans- mission gears of special tough alloy. Feature after feature of advanced design is included in its structure, such as the non- lubricating, self-cleaning brake assembly, or the special steering system, notable for its positive and easy action. Roominess a Body Feature Due to the compactness of the Oakland engine, the Oakland Sensible Six open car has the roomiest body for its wheelbase of any autorhobile built. This body is of the composite type, being heavierandstronger than isactually necessary. The Resources Behind the Oakland We have attempted to tell you briefly here why your next car should be an Oakland. Perhaps the chief reasons are asyet unmen- tioned—the record of the car itself and the company behind the car. In the six years we have been building the Oakland Sensible Six, more than 200,000 of these cars have goneinto theservice of owners. Uniformly, these owners Teport perform- ance of the most reliable character, with returns of from 18t0 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles on tires. Thus the Oakland car of today isa known quantity, a stabilized investment—its worth has been established beyond doubtorquestion under the coriditions of actual use. The Company that builds it is an impor- tant unit of the General Motors Corporation, thelargestautomobile producing organization on earth, and is itself the seventh largest producer ’of automobiles in the world. Every Oakland car reflects the policy of this Company continually to embody in its prod- “»
