-ns People Of Missouri Will EIee
Senator Today.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 2.-Reve
ins the custom of eighty-odd yej
Missouri tomorrow will nominate ts
United States senator by direct \bte
of the people, In addition to elkcting
State and minor officers andi repre-
sentatiyes In Congress. The last Gen.
eral Assembly provided for the selec.
ton of the caucus nominee for United
States senator and instructed the
members of the General Assembly to
vote for such nominee.
The several candidates for the sen.
atorship have stated publicly that they
expect to abide by the result of the
vote tomorrow. In other words. they
have given 1t out that they will not
undertake to take any advantage OF
any insurrection in the legislature.
Nevertheless many complications
could arise as result of the senate
rial primary. For instance, such
majority in the General Assembly on
joint ballot, while the successful can
didate of the Democrats may have re-
ceived many thousand more votes in
the primary than the successful Re-
publican candidate. Again, one of the
two Democratic candidates might re-
ceive large majority of the votes
cast in the primary, and majority
of the Democratic members elected to
the General Assembly might be for
his opponent. But the voluntary ac-
ton of the candidates in agreeing to
abide by the results of the primary is
expected to obviate all difficulties in
carrying out the spirit of the primary
law.
On the Democratic side there are
two rival candidates for the senator
ship. William j. Stone. the incum-
bent, is a candidate for reelection and
is opposed by Governor Joseph w
Folk. The fight between the two is
generally regarded as very close and
as a consequence the result of the
vote tomorrow is awaited with keen
interest.
Seven names have ben filed for the
Republican nomination. David w Hill
of Poplar Bluff, former speaker of the
House of Representatives John Ken
nish of Mound City, former State sen
ator, now assistant attorney general;
Col Richard c. Kerens, former Repub,
lican national committeeman from
Missouri; John c. Mckinley OF Union.
vile, present lieutenant governor;
Chauncey |. Filley of st. Louis, for
mer Republican national committee
man; Jacob +. Schmitter of Morgan
county and Joseph Black of Richmond.

Willie Haupt Makes Great
 Speed on SaDannah Track

worked for an hour or more, but the sulien racer could not be coaxed to do anything more exciting than an occa- sional loud explosion in the munier pipes. In the last Vanderbilt cup race, Strang was put out of the running right at the start because of the fall ure of his engine to respond to the initial crRhking
 The speed attained by the foreign and American drivers in the preliminary trials have lent renewed assurance or a new American record for road racing on Thursday next. Tn the Vanderbilt cup this year. Robertsons winning time was 64 3 miles an hour. In 1906, the Vanderbilt record was 61.43 miles an hour; in 1905 1t was 61 .49, and in 1904, the best average was 52.2 miles. In the Grand Prize race of the Auto mobile Club of France, the average speed of the winner in 1908 was 62.S miles an hour; in 1907 1t was 70.9 for the AIS miles, and this year the win ner's mark was e9 miles an hour. Szisz. who won the Grand Prix in 1906; Nazzaro, who won the same classic in 1907, and Hemery, who ran second among the forty-nine starters this year, are all entered in the race to be run here on Thursday.
 The baby racers entered in the in- ternational fight car race to be run on Wednesday as a preliminary to the American Grand Prize. were all out on the courge today and succeeded in set ting new marks for the perfect rec tangle which comprises the short 9.s mile course. This course, which is part of the larger Grand Prize route, has but four turns, all left-handed. Burman, the driver who has smashed up two cars and one mechanician, and who had to so 1t alone In many of his trial spins thereafter, made one cir- cult today in his little Buick in 1O:l9, or an average of between fifty-seven and hfty-eighU miles an hour. The best average the promoters of the race have dared to hope for, for the more than 200 miles, is forty-five miles an hour. F.. T.. Cameron, driving a Cam eron car. made circuit of the short course in 10:2s. the second best time of the day for the light cars.
 More than 1000 persons crowded the grand stands today to witness the last of the try-outs for the big race, and the interest taken in the event here exceeds anything the racing folk have met with in any country.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 23.--Although the fourteen foreign cars in the Grand Prize race. to be run here on Thurs day, are still the favorites over their six American rivals, the honcrs of the final practice spins over the twenty the American entrants. and the auto mobile enthusiasts who are anxious for an American victory over the flower of the foreign makes, have grown de- cidedly more hopeful.
 Willie Haupt. a young American driver, who began his racing career not more than two years ago. and who has amazed some of the older men at the wheel by his seemingly reckless speed ing around the turns. made one round of the course today at an average speed of approximately seventy-one miles an hour. The unofficial timers caught-the lap at 21. 06. To gain this average over a course which has eigh- teen banked turns and twenty-six fiat curves, 1t was necessary for the young driver of the Chadwick car to attain a speed of more than ninety miles in the straight stretches.
 Haupt's car seems to be more sen- sitive to the uneven places in the road than any of the others. and today when he was setting this new record for the course, the big six-cylinder rac- ing machine appeared constantly to leave the ground, Haupt reported later that because of excessive oil on the course at one turn, his car sped along for forty feet or more. On his second tour of the course, Haupt threw a tire from one of the rear wheels. His speed was so great that when the ear was brought to standstill and the mechanism sent back, no trace of the tire. which evidently had been hurled ofr into the dense undergrcwth along the Ferguson Avenue stretch could be found.
 Louis Strang, a member of the Re- nault French team. made three laps of the course in remarkably fast and consistent time. The first lap was &C., complained in 22:04. and the third in 22:O5. This meant an average speed of sixty-eight miles an hour.
 Erie of the Benz team, the German entrants. made one lap in 22;03. or a shade better than Strang. Strang stopped in front of the grandstand af- ter his third lap. and when he went to crank up again, the engine refused to start. The driver and the mechanician

SOUNDS A WARNING.
LORD ROBERTS PLEADS FOR A
 GREATER ARMY.
Declares Grext Britain shouId Have . Home Army of a asfIHon Men
 Refers tef Possible Invnsion By ~Germnmny. s-----

London, Nov 23.-Speaking in the House of Lords tonight. Field Marshal Lord Roberts expressed the conviction that the lack Of . military force suf- ncient to make hopeless the attempt of an Invasion would. in all probability, be the cause of the loss of Great Brit aims supremacy at sea.
 In studied speech he pointed out the comparative ease with which Ger many could land an army on the sh ores of England. England would be forced, he said, to submit to most humiliating demands He disclaimed all hostility to or fear of Germany, but he said that the defense of the islands required im- mediate attention. There should be an army so strong in numbers and efncient in quality that the most for midable of foreign nations would he's ltate to make a landing fin England He had ascertaincd, the speaker con tinued chat vessels capable of accom- modating 100000 men always were available in the northern ports of Ger many. and that that number of men could be collected in the districts of the nearest port without any trouble, 4na that all preliminaries, up to the actual despatch of tgoaps, could be carried out with the utmost secrecy.
 ''It would be folly" declared Lord Roberts, "to shut our eyes to the pos abilities. however. much peace is de- sired The startling events in the near east have brought home to the most careless observer that nothing could save that country which is not prepared to protect itself. If Great Britain continues to neglect the pre- cautions, she will some day find her self In the hands of the invaders and forced to submlt'to the most humiliat- ing conditions. This danger is daily becoming more threatening. Within decade. Germany has created the great est sea power that ever existed, except Great Britain's and at the present mo- ment 1t is formidable.
 Lord Roberts said that the main temptation to the invasion of Great Britain was the want, of Q home army which ought to consist of q million men. s.s .
 1t was Great, .Britain's business, con- tinued Lord Roberts. "to find out in what way the great increase in Ger tpany'a sea power was likely to affect her and to adopt measures necessary for her own defense. a-zs ,' et
 Great Britain's, military weakness would in all probability be the cause of the loss of her naval supremacy.

 MEANS COMMITTEE.
Ehe Cemmittee Which ts Conducting Tariff Hearing Desire to Have Him Tell Them About the
 Steel Industry.

Washington, Nov. 2s.--As g result of the decIayation of Andrew carnegie in an article in the forthcoming num- Der of The Century Magazine that the tariff schedules on iron and steel should be reduced. the Ways and Means Committee of the Rouse tonight for maIly invited Mir. Carnegie to appear before it this week to tell what he knows about the steel industry and the possibility of the reduction of the tarifr on iron and steel products.
 No reply had been received from Mir. Carnegie by the committee at II o'clock tonight, but as the telegram of invitation was not sent until late, no reply was expected until tomorrow.
 The members of the committee were a unit in refusing to discuss MT. Car negie's article, although all of them admitted as having read 1t as pub iished this morning.

 In the course of the night session, H. l.. Sheppard and Orin E. Perry of the Rockland- -Rockport (Maine) Lime Company, were put through a grilling examination when they asked that the present duty of cents a hundred pounds on lime be maintained.
 Mir. Perry admitted the price of lime had advanced ever since his firm was organized in 1900.
 Using figures furnished him, Repre- sentative Champ Clark figured out that the company is making 24 per cent profit.
 Bernard Traitel, representing the Tile. Crate and Mantle Association of New York, asked that the crate used to import quarries, which form the floors of the humblest cottages" be admitted free of duty. E. E. Carey and Hugo Reicinger, importers of car bons. asked that the tariff of $9 on a thousand on cartoons for electric lights be reduced in ordep that they might compete with the National Carbon Company of Cleveland, O. J. S. Crider, representing that company. insisted on the necessity for the duty.
 Fillmore Congft. representing the general committee of the State Board of Trade Mineral Industry of Califor- mia, asked that the tariff on asphaltum be Increased Frank c. Partridge of the Vermont Marble Company asked in behalf of those concerned in the pro- duction of American marble, that the duty on marble be left unchanged. He said no objection was raised to the importation free of duty of true works of art.
 In reply to a question, he declared. as Vice-President of the company of which the late Senator Proctor of Yer mont was President, that Senator Proc. tor, despite repeated reports, did not have one dollar Invested in Italian marble.
