VOTERS TURN OUT IN FORCE TO
HEAR EXECUTIVE; SENATOR
CRAWFORD ALSO HEARD.

Sioux City, Nov. A.. Especially ~
Eleventh district republicans rallied
around the standard OF the governor
here last night in a monster meeting
at the auditorium giving to the states
chief executive a testimony Of conf
dence and, honor seldom seen in the
state. The hall was filled with voters
whoa cheered the many telling points OF
the speech. Tenth and eleventh dis
trict republicans, according to in
quiries made at every station from
Wayerly to Sioux City will stand SOL
idly by the governor. If the normal re-
publican vote Is polled In Iowa the
normal republican majority will be
rolled up for Governor Carroll. The
danger Is that the vets will not get out.
TheA meeting here was addressed by
Governor Carroll and United States
Senator Crawford Of South Dakota.
Senator Crawford discussed the new
tariff law which he said was the best
of any tariff law. dLay 1t alongside Of
its precedessor and it is az much bet
ter than that law than that law was
better than Its precedessor," he said.
He favored q nonpartisan expert
tariff commission and added This
tariff law Is a step in progress because
It Is a step towards the tariff board"
His defense Of the new tariff law was
loudly cheered. Senator Crawford said
that the new tariff law Is "the best
thing for all the states because IL 1t is
the best thing for the American peo-
pie and American industry.

Speedway n Memory Of Al
llvinustone.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. A drama new
to American automobile racing was
enacted at the atlanta speedway Just
before the start Of the 100 mile race
yesterday. With the strains OF g Nearer
Ny God to Thee floating from the
grandstand band, nine big racing ma
chimes lined up at the starting wire,
their engines still for fifteen minutes,
while the drivers with barred heads
waited for the last prayer to be said
in another part OF the city at the fu-
neral of AL Livingstone, who was to
have started in the 100-mile race, but
who was killed in practice here two
days ago. After the hymn there was
a long silence and the big race was on.
II Joe Dawson (Marmon) jumped into
the lead and held it for ninety sight
miles, when he was nearly two min
.utes ahead Of the official American
record for 100 miles for Glass B cars.
Then his shaft broke and he stopped
for repairs.
Gelnaw (Fal) won; Knight (West-
cott) was second, and Dawson third.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-That a clash
of some kind between Japan and the
United States is inevitable is the opin-
ION of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
In an interview given out by the old
fighter from his New York hotel. He
is visiting New York for the first time
since his recovery from the illness
which compelled him to stand on
crutcbes at Carnegie hall a year ago
while delivering lecture
think we must have friction with
the Japanese sooner or later said the
admiral, but it will be over the oues-
ton of dollars and cents; in other
words, about the trade Of the Pacific.
"The population that borders upon
the Pacific is greater than that living
upon any other body of water. The
trade Of tie Pacific will be the great
trade of the future. The japanese will
undoubtedly be ambitious TO control il.
We have no merchant marine now. but
one of these days the American people
are not going to be satisfied with this
state of things. Then, if any country
does not agree to peaceable division
of trade. there will be trouble. But
the sooner we put feet on the Pacific
and keep 1T there, the better it will be
for us, for sooner or later friction is
bound to come
