There have been several sensational
tOmobile racing situation on this side
of the Atlantic. These include a re-
fusal of the Vanderbilt cup commission
to change it's conditions to conform to
the rules of the Ostend congress; the
sending out of an elaborate press sheet
that was not authorized by the Auto
mobile Club of America, in which it
was stated that the club planned the
promotion of an international race at
Savannah, Ga; an outspoken demand
on the part Of importers of automobiles
that in the premises it is the duty OF
the Automobile Club of America to
promote a race under international
rules, and, finally AN intimation that
the Vanderbilt cup race may be black
listed by the International Association
of Recognized Automobile Clubs
Jefferson Dumont Thompson, chair
man of the Vanderbilt cup commission,
in letter to Robert Lee Morren,
chairman of the contest committee OF
the Automobile Club of America, ack-
now.edged the receipt Of the latter's
letter, inclosing the protest of the
Automobile Club of France, reciting
the fact that the subject of rules had
been carefully discussed two months
ago, declared that there is no posi-
bility of any change being made in the
Vanderbilt conditions.
The press sheet that was disclaimed
by officers of the Automobile Club OF
America, quoted a dispatch from Sa-
vannah that recounted how S. NJ. But
Ter, president of the club, had visited
that city on Saturday last and made a
proposition to the Savannah Automo.
bile club to promote an international
, race in Savannah November. 1t was
learned later that Mr.. Butler had beer
in that city Saturday. 1t was denied
however, that he had made a PROPOSE
I ton for a club race there.

The first days run leads through the

Cambridge Springs, where the first

Now that the Hawaii has sailed, the
wise ones are trying to figure out how
many days it will take her to reach
San Pedro. The general opinion seems
to be that she will make the trip in
about 1G days which would mean that
she would arrive at the Coast port on
the 18th, giving her 1G days to get
ready for the race which starts at noon
on the 4th Of Ju'y.

1t is no play to be in the mechanics
seat of fast car IN a great road race
like the Briarciff. The mechanician
must keep watch in rear to warn ,ile
drivers OF approaching cars; he must
watch the pressure gauges and when
necessary operate the hand pump of
the oiling system; hardest of all, when
there is tire trouble he must do most
OF the work in making a replacement.
Besides all this he must hold himself
in the bouncing car as best he may.
Carlo Capra, racing companion OF
! Emanuel Cedrino in the Fiat that
made the four fastest rounds in the
Briarcliff race, may be called a typi-
cal racing mechanic, though of the
many thousands who have watched Ce-
drino drive and those many other
thousands who have read or heard OF
the Italians feats as a record breaker
at Ormond Beach and elsewhere very
few have given a second Thought to
the man who has shared the perils, vic.
tories and defeats of Cedrino.
Capra scorns those mechanics who
fix handles on the backs of their seats
to hang on by while a race is in pro
] gress and asserts that a good mechanic
should be able to stay in his seat with
out handles and should keep his hands
busy with the pressure pumps anyway
During the Briarcliff race he was no
called upon to do any tire replacing
but a couple of ready hated tire
mounted on detachable rims were car
ried on the fuel tank behind Cedrin
and Capra.
Even if they had no chance to shoy
how quickly they could change tire

SHERMAN AN ABLE CITIZEN.
Nominee for Second Place n Bust
ness and Political Leader.

Nominee for Second Place n Bust
ness and Political Leader.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, the Re-
publican candidate for Vice President,
was born Oct. "a, 1855, in Utica, n. Y.
where he still resides. He has been a
member of the national House of Repre-
sentatives since 1886, with the exception
of one term, 1S9O-1S92. H was chair
man of the Republican national congress
sional committee in the campaign of 1906.
He is a lawyer, banker and manufacturer
and is the business as we'll as the polit-
ical leader of Utica, being president of
the Utica Trust and Deposit Company.
Mr.. Sherman was educated in the Utica
academy and Hamilton college, being
graduated from the latter institution in
1873. He was admitted to the bar in
1880 and at once took an active interest
in political affairs. In 1884 he was
chosen Mayor of Utica and two years
later was elected to Congress.
For years he has been regarded as the
parliamentarian in the lower house, has
been frequently mentioned as a candi-
date for the speakership. He was a
formidable opponent of David B. Hender-
son when the latter was first elected
Speaker. He has acted as chairman of
the committee of the whole through many
a turbulent battle of the House, and,
according to his friends, has shown bis
ability again and again to preside over

POINTED EXTRACTS FROM
SPEECH OF CHAIRMAN LODGE

We believe in the maintenance of law
and order and in the support of the courts
in all their rights and dignity.
The Republican party has never failed
except when it has faltered.
The government of the United States
will never be dominated by money.
The President has enforced the laws
as he found them on the statute books.
The performance of his own (Roose-
velt's) duty is its own exceeding great
reward.
The Elkins law, the rate law, and the
pure food law are monuments of the poll
cies and labors of the Republican party.
1t was to be expected that vested in
terests would cry out when their in
trenchments are carried and the bayonets
of the law are pushed home.
That man is no friend of Theodore
and fame who now from any motive
seeks to urge him as a candidate for an
Office he has declined.
But, although the President retires, he
leaves his policies behind him-to those
policies the Republican party stands
pledged.
Money has few votes, but it can COM
mand many voices mad cause many birds
to sing: the result is that President
Roosevelt is the best abused and the most
popular man in the United States to-day.
We are opposed to special privileges
to any man or any class of men, high
or low, rich or poor.
We stand for protection and will resist
free trade in whatever form it comes dis
guised.
We seek peace with all nations, alli-
ances with none.
