 The cars will be checked as they arrive on the California side of the river, and they will then take their own time in crossing the river, and arriving on this side they will be park ed along in front of the postoffice block in roped in enclosure.
 A string of lights will be put out over the cars and it is the commit tees intention to have the whole we'll lighted and specially policed.
 The city will be asked to furnish about four special polimemen for this work and the sheriff's office about two more. These officers will be spec ially selected, so that there cannot be the slightest chance of anybody tam pering with the cars over night, and so each driver can leave his machine in perfect security and go away and get good nights rest and enjoy him self in any way he sees fit.
 Paul Moretti will be the Yuma checker, assisted by a man appointed by the Maricopa County Automobile Association.
 P. O. Spittler and A. B. M ng will do the checking at Middle Wells, and O. c. Johnson and G. E. Hitchcock. at Dome if the river should happen to be up.
 The members of the Yuma County Automobile Association headed by pr. J. A. Ketcherside, president, will acr as a reception committee to the driv- CTS as we'll as to the ''Howdy" special from Los Angeles.

Constitution Has
 Been Populated

c. M. Rogers, of Dos Cabezas, O. chise county, nominated at the pri- mary Tuesday by the Democrats as candidate for the state senate from that county, has come out squarely aginst the advisory vote. He says that regardless of the endorsement that may be accorded any man at the cleo tion for United States senator at the coming election, he will vote against the person endorsed if he happens to be a Republican.
 This question has been put squarely up to Roberts by the Douglas Dis patch in an open letter addressed to him and to all the other Democratic candidates for the legislature. Rob- erts says that regardless of the advis- ory vote he will case his ballot for a Democrat
 Roberts was also a member of the constitutional convention. He was and is, an advanced progressive, and stood for every feature fatnered by the Socialistic Democrats. Despite the fact that the advisory vote propo- sition was favored by the Democratic members, and is part of the consti- tuition of the new state, and has been accepted by everybody, Democrats and Republicans alike, Roberts announces lis entire independence of the meas ure.
 The Dispatch has also addressed let ters to the Democratic senatorial can didates asking if they will accept the office at the hands of a Democratic legislature in the event of an adverse advisory vote. Ashurst's secretary has replied to the letter saying Ashurst-i is, away from home: Mark Smith has -noc replied.

Bold, Cruel Crime
{From Tuesdays Examiner)

---' {From Tuesdays Examiner) There was a dark, deep and awful crime perpetrated in Yuma Saturday night. And the queer thing of it is that Sheriff Livingston, Marshal Levy and all the Yuma officers missed making any arrests.
 The details of the plot have been planning for days-nay, perhaps weeks
 i The utmost secrecy wrapped every move of the arch canspirators, and all connected with it were sworn to dark eest secrecy, it is said. Lend us your ear. 'Tis an awful tale and rent, rended and twisted the strongest supports of the Democratic party in Yuma.
 Somebody stole the Democratic Gen. tral Committee from Boss Dunk De- Vane.
 Whereupon the aforesaid alleged alas, now 'tis alleged-boss of the Democratic party packed his grip and bied himself to the northern fastness- es of Yuma county, some say at Wen den, where he will hatch dark, deep plots as to what he will do to the alleged traitors to his title of boss when he gets back.
 The publication of the following in the Sun Sunday morning did not ap- peal to many as being unduly exciting.
 The Sun said:
 "As provided in the primary law
 the committee elected the follow
 ing members for the state central
 committee: George Michelsen, w.
 F. Timmons, P. J Miller, all of
 Yuma; Dennis A. Burke, of
 Bouse; G. c. Dunn, of Parker"
 And then the trouble began. The Yuma members of the above commit tee like Boss Dunk DeVane just about like P J Miller loves the Good Gov ernment Leage-which same is not that of long lost brother
 And it is even stated that this com mittee was chosen in direct opposition to the orders of Boss DeVane, and aft CT he had made up slate of his own.
 False world, The bosses slate was chucked out of the window and the insurgents made committee of their own.
 Now the alleged boss and his friends are hunting for the "nigger in the wood pile" or 'Who Was False to Kelly" and-well, watch the fur fly The battle has just commenced.
 But it certainly is pie for the Re- publicans.

CFrom the Daily ENaminer)

Luck sticks to Bill Tremaine like g 1 brother. The daredevil Phoenix driver of the Pope-Hartford, who drew first starting place last year, and took third place in the race, will start second this year. He will be five min utes behind, the Maxwell, one of the lighter cars, which he should pass in half an hour and have a clear course to Yuma and then on to victory.
 The drawing for places has taken place and the cars will start in the above order.
 Bill Tremaine's stock jumped fifty per cent among the local betters when the news came that he would start second. The car which starts first has a big advantage, but under the cir cumstances second is about as good for Bill. The Maxwell is one of the slower lighter cars that are not ex- pected to do anything in the race.
 VIII DC dOiO CO PdoO IL without any trouble, and knowing there is nothing ahead of him, and that he will not crash into any brok- en down machine, and with no ones dust in his eyes or nostrils, he will burn up the road and startle the na tives, who know only the common or garden variety of racers, such as are found in California.
 "I am going to win that race" said Bill, when he was in Yuma Friday night "If I am anywhere near the head of the starters, it will be lot easier A man can drive faster when he knows the road is clear"
 Bill is an Arizona driver, and cer- tainly all Arizona wants to see an Ari- zona driver win the race.
 The luck of the other two Arizona drivers was not so good. w. F. BrOng and his Case car drew tenth place; and Billy Ferguson's Buick, from Bis bee, will start last. Both stand a good chance for their cars are among the best that have been entered.
 Next Sunday afternoon and night between the hours of 400 D. m. and maybe 10:30 at night, the cars in the race will be coming into control at Yuma. Five hundred dollars will be paid the driver of the first car that reaches Fl Centro in the Imperial val ley and reaches Phoenix in the allot- ted time.
 One thousand dollars will be paid the car that is the first to reach the Grant Hotel in San Diego and finishes in Phoenix.
 Five hundred dollars will be paid the driver of the car that reaches Yu ma first and finishes in Phoenix.
 The first car to reach Phoenix will be paid $3,50O in cash.
