EIGHTEEN AUTOS
 TO RACE TO PHOENIX
(From Sundays Daily.)

lfrom sundays Dally.)
 An enthusiastic meeting of the Prescott Auto Club was held, Friday night, in the law offices of LeRoy Anderson, the occasion being to per feet arrangements and to receive en- tries in the Prescott Phoenix auto test for the Arizona Gazette gold cup. The gathering was one in which every car owner in the city partiei- pated, and lively and spirited dis cussion followed. The rules govern ing the contest were alos formulated, and will be published Tuesday morn ing in the Journal-Miner, as will also the entries.
 The total number of cars entered Is eighteen. Four asked the privil- ege of leaving Prescott on Saturday, instead of Sunday, which was grant ed, subject to the conditions.
 An interesting feature of the meeting was drawing for positions. Dr. A. L. Hawkins drew No. l, and will be the first tc start. He is a resident of Jerome, and has a light Overland machine, in which he has made many. good records. No. 13 plug was pulled out of it's socket by Reese M. Ling, and he will have a splendid opportunity of shattering that unlucky number and making "good" in his fast Rec. He says he has a. bad start from a supersti- tious view, but if the juice holds out and the .ravines get out of his path, he will "do things.''
 No. IS, the last in the box, was extracted by John c. Stepnens, who owns a Ford. He is enthused over his position, which, he states, is a decided advantage, as he will be able to clip along without resorting to any "rubber neck" work for rear end collisions.
 The contest will begin with No. l leaving first, and so on until the list is exhausted in that order. The start will be made in front of the Prescott National Bank, commencing at a. m., sharp, on next Sunday morning. No. will take its position at the same point five minutes later, and so on, at five minute intervals.
 The rules of the contest call for a handicap, the small horse power with the medium, and the larger go- ing into a classification list that will he figured out after the close of the event.
 It was agreed that every ear will be weighed before it starts, inelud- ing passengers, on the scales in front of the Bashford- -Burmister store.
 As decided, the route will be from Prescott to Dewey, Humboldt, Mayer, Cordes, Goddard, New River, and thence to Phoenix, terminating in front of the Arizona Gazette office, on West Adams street.
 Considerable trading of numbers is going on, but Monday evening this practice will cease. The official line up will then be definitely announced.
 F. W. Foster, president of the club, will ofieiate as the starter in this novel auto event.
 The distance between the two cit ies is no miles, and many wagers are being made that the high power machines will make the trip in a specified time.

Sen. Burrows Paper
Turns To Townsend

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 2.--The
Houghton Gazette, the strongest cop.
per country paper, hitherto for Bur
rows, says In an editorial:
There can be no minimizing the
effect of Charles f. Townsend's re-
cent visit TO the copper country.
Whereas few weeks ago the aver
age observer would have stated that
Burrows would carry the county of
HoCghton by a very large majority.
frankness compels the statement that
IL looks now as II the senator would
have considerable difficulty In obtain
ing any majority.
The change in sentiment Is a re-
suit OF Mr.. Townsends visit Mr..
Townsend has put a lol of ginger into
the senatorial situation. His adj
dresses at Calumet. Ahmeek. Hough.
ton and other towns made him thou
sands of friends. Practically all Of
those who heard him are now working
hard for the success OF his campail.i.
They like his addresses. He cleared
up lot OF subjects concerning which
there was some doubt. He had no
abuse for his opponents, yet he made
his points as a progressive strike
right home. He impressed all VINO
came in contact with him, as a very
active, forceful man, with decided
ideas as TO the kind of legislation he
stands for, and, withal a Republican,
first, last and all the time. He is
live number, and we are frank to say
that we believe he will give Burrows
a very close run for the copper coun.
try. II he doesn't actually carry the
county.
THE point we hear most discussed
Is that the election OF Mr.. Townsend
as senator would insure Michigan two
able. strong. active and important men
in the senate. There Is no question
as to the strength or Importance or
tho activity OF Senator William Alden
Smith. He has demonstrated that
time and again. With Mr.. Townsend
as side-partner. Michigan would
take a position OF Importance in he
upper house and Michigan men would
be heard from on the side of the peo-
pie. That is the kind of talk the
Gazette has heard frequently since
