POSTPONE AUTO RACE DATES
Speed Meet Is Put Over Drivers
Are Satisfied With the Change
and All Will Compete.

The Vanderbilt auto classics have
been postponed until the first week
in October. The Vanderbilt cup
event will be run off on Oct. 2, the
Pabst blue ribbon and Wisconsin
challenge trophies on Oct. 3, and the
Grand Prix on Oct. 5.
The decision to change the dates
was reached after prolonged ses-
sion of the officials. drivers and men,
bers of the Milwaukee Automobile
Dealers association.
When the Vanderbilt cup race was
called off word was passed around
to the dealers and drivers to be on
hand for the meeting, when plans
would be discussed. 1t was apparent
that 1t would be impossible to hold
the races under present weather con-
ditions, and the dealers left 1t to
the drivers to name the date on
which they would be held. After a
conference, the drivers chose the
dates, afterward selected. These
were agreeable to the dealers and
officials.

of the people have been carefully
safeguarded, the business Of the rail
roads has not been unnecessarily dis
turhed.
The platform promised to promote
the welfare OF the railroad employees
by proper legislation for their safety
and by the enactment of an employees
liability law that should be within
the requirements of the constitution
as pointed out by the supreme court
The pledge was promptly fulfilled and
law is now imbedded In the statutes
doing away with the old rule OF con.
tributory negligence. A step beyond
the platform promise has been taken
through the enactment of beneficent
laws touching the use of safety ap
pliances on railroads which look to
the protection of their employees from
every ayoidable accident.
The platform promised child la.
Dor lsw for the District OF Columbis
that should serve as a model for the
states. Such law has been passed.
The platform promised the estab
lishment of mining bureau, That
has been done and the life of ever,
miner In the United States is less ex
posed to danger because OF the great
work this bureau is doing.
The platform promised to maintain
the efficiency OF the army and navy
That has been done.
The platform promised to follow vi
the conservation policy upon which
the Roosevelt administration had en-
tered. That has been done by the
passage of laws which will make Inn
possible the exploitation or monopoli
cation of the mineral wealth OF the
public domain
The platform promised that the best
Of efforts would be made to extend
the foreign commerce OF the United
States. For the first time, our ex
ports last year passed the two billion
dollar mark.
The platform promised statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona Their stars
are on the flag
In a word, with few exceptions OF
minor Importance, every pledge given
to the people OF the United States by
the Republican party In its platform
of 1908 has been written into law.
Nor do these accomplishments OF
the Taft administration make any ref
erence to those achievements which
were outside the platform promises
which are in peculiar sense the
achievements of the president him

which our diplomacy has met the
problems of international intercourse

company for an injunction to restrain
the enforcement of the order of the
state railway commission which pro-
vides for the sales of thirteen tickets

The court, however, ordered the
street railway company to issue GER
tificates with each sale of tickets so
that in case the court sustains the
decision of the railway commission
that the purchasers of tickets will be
able to redeem the certificates secur-
ing an additional ticket for each pur-
chase of fifty cents worth.
The railway commission will push
the suits brought by the railway as
rapidly as possible. They will be
heard in the Dane county circuit
court.
The restraining order will not af-
feet the extension of the single fare
system ordered by the commission,
which will 20 into effect at the time
