In 1904 the republican psrty stood

The republican party also claimed to be
the advance agent of prosperity, but
there came a panic and business depres-

knowledge that the tariff should be re-
vlsed and agree to do so after election
by adopting a maximum tariff which
means "the greatest a'tlinsble." So
that instead of tariff reduction we are
promised a still higher tariff. No wonder
the trusts and tariff protected monopo-
lists are supporting the republicans.
Bat why should the rest of us do so ?

NO SANCTIONS FOR
AUTO EXHIBITION
Representatives of the National
Governing Bodies Have Not
Issued Permits
Hawkins and Hall Want to Get
Into the Sweepstake
Event
By x. X. PHommedieu

The automobile race meet, which
might be better styled an exhibition
of drivers who have been successful
through an enterprising press agent
is not meeting with the favor in San
Francisco that it has in other towns.
San Francisco is one place where the
automobile dealers believe they have
as fast. cars and as good drivers as are
included in the travelling aggregation.
G. A. Hawkins, western manager Of
the White company, is not satisfied by
the way the promoters have evaded his
request to be allowed to compete for
the $4,000 sweepstalSe, of which Is will
ing to put up his pro rata. In COM
munication to The Call on the subject
Hawkins concludes with the following
remarks:
Mr. Moross undertakes to eyade the issue
and proIong the discussion: | want TO know
whether he will or will not permit the White
car to enter the big even terms with
the other cars, or. whether this race Is
merely an exhibition and the three drivers
are entering it 70 fool the public into the
belief that it Is real race?
Hawkins is not the only one who is
anxious to take try in the big sweep
stake. Al Hall. the designer and
builder of the Comet which has shown
considerable speed and is looked upon
as a car that can trim Oldfeld, is also
willing to put up his money. Another
angle in the opposition has appeared.
f.. P. Lowe, president of the California
state automobile association, the ac-
credited representative of the American
automobile association, said last night
that up to- the present time no sane
tion had been granted by the A. A. A.,
the national governing body. This will
affect all those who drive in the event.
The same ruling viii affect the motor
cycle races, as can be seen from the
communication of G. C. Hopkins, a
member of the competition committee,
Pacific district, in which he states:
Ne one has authority TO announce any
motorcycle races at Tanforan December . or
6. No sanction has been given for motor
cycle races. The Federation OF American
Afotorcyclsts (the controlling body of the
sport) does not favor mixing automobile and
motorcycle races, and while the motorcycle
riders Of the city are willing TO assist this
meet in other ways, they will not compete
on the track.
