The failure of the Briar Sweet ham
dicap to I'LL robbed the card for today
at Emeryville of the only event that
promised to provide the programme
with class All six races will be con-
tested by. horses of very moderate call
Der and consequently several or the
events present very open look
The opener will be over the Futurity
course. OF the twelve entered, Jake
Ward. Marie HI. Bell Reed, Distributor
and Soundly look the most promising
from a form standpoint. Distributor
will have an incompetent apprentice
boy up and may be dismissed from con-
sideration on that account. Bell Reed
will also be ridden by an apprentice
of uncertain reliability. The distance
may prove a bit too far for the speedy
Soundly. Fountain will ride Marie H.
and she looks like a dangerous con-
tender. Little E. Dugan will be up
on Jake Ward, and as he has proven his
ability to ride this consistent horse to
advantage may be able to score his
maiden victory in this race
In the second, Ingham, a promising
youngster from the Jennings stable,
will be ridden by A. Brown, and may
be able to lead Prince of CASTLE to
the wire. The latter ran disappoint-
ingly in the Gray Ghost handicap, and
~
Mulholland, an admittedly classic colt,
has been performing poorly, but may
wake up and do better today. Miller
will ride President Williams Hilo de
Orc in this race. The youngster has
shown nothing to warrant a belief that
he can win.
Joe Yeager's Nina Gibson will be
ridden by Miller, and should graduate
from the maiden class by winning the
third at five and half furlongs. Prac-
only a head in her last start Black
Sam should run second and Sea Lad
third.
Seven mares will meet In the fourth
at seven furlongs. Darthula looks the
best and will win if she has good
boy up. The stable boy Lenderwig has
been riding her in ridiculous fashion
in her only two starts here. Today
she has no apprentice allowance and
will probably have good pilot. Mat
lakatla is the contender, and it looks
like a two-horse race. Any OF the
others may drop into the show.
The fifth also looks like two-horse
affair Beechwood is a rare mudder
and will hook up with Lazelle, another
good one In the going. Miller will have
the mount on the former and his horse
manship may decide the ISSUE
Fred Bent, Prestige and Dutiful
should make sizzling race out of the
final event at mile. All three figure
close and racing luck will determine
the result. Prestige and Dutiful will
probably race out In front and Fred
Bent may catch them firing and lead
the pair to the wire.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
REPUBLICANS
SPECIAL DIsPArcH TO THE CALL

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. 13-W. = j.
Bryan today in the Commoner insists
that the Democrats best chance to win
in 1908 springs from the assurance
given by President Roosevelt that he
will not again be candidate. Bryan
says:
THE Democrats may as well recog
nize the situation and prepare for it,
In the first place. there is no prob
ability Of or prospect of the President
being a candidate again He has so
announced and IL Is only fair to him
to take him at his word Even If he
desired to be nominated he would have
difficulty in securing the nomination.
There is a division in the Republican
party. and that division extends from
the top of the party to the bottom.
Mr.. Roosevelt's radcalism has al
ways displeased the Republican lead
ers. and his last message has very
much aggravated the situation Even
if he were nominated il would not be
good policy for the Democrats to plan
conservative campaign. If Mr..
Roosevelt were candidate it would
not only be wise but necessary for the
Democrats to made a radical fight. II
the Democrats were to attempt TO at
tack the President for indorsing Demo-
cratic ideas it would lose more Demo-
Gratis than it would gain Republicans"

Interest in automobile circles seems

club occupies a peculiar poSltlon, mas
much as it is not trade organization,
although it's officers are willing at all
times to help the sale of automobiles
by making converts to the sport. The
officers do not want to work in oppos1-
ton to the trade, but when the deal
ers seem bent on violating the law by
conducting record runs which exceed
the speed limit laid down by the state
they feel it is their duty to call a MATT
There have been some harsh things
said about the club since its officers
put the stamp of their disapproval on
the record runs, but every fair-minded
person is forced to admit the justice
of the position taken by the club
During the coming year the officers
of the club will undoubtedly provide
some means whereby racing motorists
will have an opportunity TO try out
their cars in speed contests The club
officers realize that they must provide
some means for speed contests if they
are to be a power in upholding the
law With the building OF the road
around Clear Lake during the coming
summer the racing men will be given
an opportunity to speed to the limit.
In the meantime, they will be asked by
