KITCHIN AND REYNOLDS Jint Discussion With a Little Py-play Thrown in Chapel Hill, N. C. Oct. 8. Special.

The campaign here was opened today Ntew York. Oct. American la a rtench-maie machine-George Heath irlth Tanhard of 90-horse rower won the rc for the VT. K. Vanderbllt cup on Lone Ulamd today, the first in-ltro6naX race for motor cars ever run on American soil and the first bis automobile race ever seen In thU coutr try.

The rS4. il's of road were covered by Heath and his plant square-nosed car in five hoars twenty sir minutes and fortyve seconds, actual run-vine time, and he won the trophy by traveling the distance In only one mln-nte and twenty-eight seconds better lime than did the yours Frenchman.

Oct. 8. Special. Several thousand enthusiastic re, -ers witnesed the struggle on the Latta Park gridiron this afternoon between the elevens of the University of North Carolina and Davidson College. Davidson hal the best of the game from start to finish.

The Presbyterians played hard and scientifically and used every knowledge of Carolina's weakness to advantage. The Carolinas lacked aggressiveness, displayed surprising weakness in the tackles and notably poor interference. The ball for the greater part of the game was in Davidson's territory, though once the' Presbyterians had it within five yards of the goal, with three downs. Considering- the fact that the Carolinas were much heavier it is the consensus of opinion that Davidson played much the better game, and at all times displayed grit aggressiveness. There were two fifteen minute halves and the score was 0 to 0.

The star work for Davidson was by the two ends. Mason and Miller. Wyman, the quarter, and Fotzer, th? right half back. CaroJaa'a stars were Stewart, Newton, Bear and Robertson. Several hundred collega glr's from the Presbyterian and Ellzabetn colleges attended the game In a bo iy, and a3 competitive rooters made things lively for the spectators.

Chapel Hill, N. Oct. 8. Special. The result of the- Davidson-Carolina game at Charlotte comes as a bitter surprise to the Carolina adherents here.

The final score was nothing- to nothing. A close score was expected, but the locals were confident of victory. Davidson regards the result of the game as a victory, and this assumption is conceded by rooters here. Davidson outpcinted Carolina at every stage of. the game.

The defensive work of both teams was very good, but Carolina's offensive play was of a ragged nature. Jacocks, Carolina's quarter-back, was the star of the game, his work being: particularly noteworthy throughout. with a Joint debate between Hon. W. Kitchin.

Democrat, and Hon. C. A. Rej-nolds. Republican candidate for congress from this district.

The debate was heard by a large number of Orange county citizens. Reynolds spoke first. He defended the policies of the Republican party and Its beliefs; defended Rooseveltlsm and the actions of the present administration; defended the policy of protection in a vigorous manner and declared It Tor the best Interests cf the country; discussed sound money and said the Republican party had kept nil Democrats Have Hope of Carrying Rhode BsBanp all alons the line in Rhode Island," currency on a parity; said the prosperity of the country since due to the Republican party, i Mr. Kitchin tore to pieces every point advanced, by Reynolds. His words were full of stinging- sarcasm and ridiculing- thrusts.

He attacked Roosevelt and his policy with telling-eiTeet. His speech was a magnificent effort and he carried the crowd with his elcqvence.

Lloyd was intoxicated. Kitchin was justified in his action and was applauded by the crowd. said the governor, but there are excellent prospects of victory. There is widespread dissatisfaction among- the voters of the state over the rdminls-tration's foreign and tariff policy. The people believe we should give the Filipinos independence, both lor their interests and our own, and in pursuance of the cherished principles of American government.

"They also favor tariff revision and reciprocity, and, holdings such views, again come in conflict with th Roosevelt policy. These issues are very pregnant in Rhode Island. Coupled with the state issues, I believe they have engendered a sentiment that will mean Democratic victory at the election. 4'We have a splendid working organization in the state, but we have been checkmated to some extent In our plans for a. speakir.c campaign by the Republican manager, who have hired all available halls in the principal cities and intend to hold them against us.

Obviously such action was taken to prevent us from presenting our Issues to the people, but I think the coup will react. We may decide to hold mass meetings In circus tents.
