Evident Now that General
Election Will Be Called
At Early Date
l>ondon, Nov. 11.—Choatic condi
tions in British politics were further
complicated today when a deputation
of luborites presented as petition to
Premier Asquith demanding legisla
tion favorable to labor in the next
session of parliament.
Following so close upon the failure
of the constitutional conference, new
elements were add' d to the unrest
which in all likelihood will result in
I
the dissolution bf parliament shortly
after convening next week, and gen
eral elections early next year, possi
bly before Christmas.
The attitude of laborite party which
is very strong will be an important
factor in deciding the course which
the government will follow. All par
ties have sought to avoid holding
elections next yoar because it is the
eorouation year.

Savannah, (la., Nov. 11.—All over
the automobile world today all eyes
are turned upon this old city by the
pea, soon to he the Beene of one
of the great classics of the motoring
rport. Those who were not able to
toing there eyes here to feast upon
tlie spectacle of speed-mad drivers
hurling their machines round nnd
round an eighteen-mile course, are
here In spirit, and today and tomor
row Savannah will lie the center of
a worldwide expectancy. If all rec
ords are not broken In tomorrow’s
flrand Prize race, then all exports
who know the course, the cars nnd
the drivers will suffer disappoint
ment.

Savannah Challenge Trophy and the

aa flt/lng curtain-racers to the grcni
even; to be staged on the morrow.
Savannah is determined to main
tain tiic enviable reputation it made
in the automobile world by the first
Gtaiiil Prize race, held on Thank*
giving day, 1908, an event which was
In the opinion of drivers, officials and
spectators, the best managed road
race in the history of motoring. The
course has been put info the best pos
slide condition, and throughout lit
length it is patrolled by members oi
the Georgia State National Guard
who have strict order# to prevent
trespassing or anything which might
endanger the lives of spectators oi
drivers, or interfere in anyway with
the race.
The grand stand Is situated near a
turn in the course, thus affording
spectators a better view of the racing
carr than if along a straigntaway
