Allison Gives Op The Fight.

MADISON, Wis. Feb. Ex-senator
William B. Allison, of Iowa, evil
IDENTIFY feels il would be waste of
time to endeavor to secure the Wis
consin delegation to the st. Louis
convention or any part OF it, in his
interest for the nomination for presi-
dent. Several weeks ago Editor
Hunton, of the Dubuque Times,
journeyed through Wisconsin and
get an impression there was posi-
BILE chance Of securing at least some
of the Wisconsin delegates. 1t was
then intended by the Iowa states
man to have two of his abIest lieu
tenants in Madison when the legis-
lature convened to work up Allison
sentiment in the state. Two of the
leading politicians OF Iowa, John T..
Burch and j. Rich, of Dubuque, were
selected to come here and meet the
Wisconsin solons during the appor-
tionment sojourn in Madison.
Messrs. Burch and Rich made all
arrangements to be on hand, but it is
announced today that they have
changed their minds and concluded
not to come. It is said that the rea-
son for their failure to come is that
they feel it would be useless to en-
deavor to get any part of the Wis
consin delegation away from Nc

Mr.. Babcock Should Stand Aside.

The proposition to send Congress
man Babcock as a delegate to the st.
Louis convention, while he is under
stood to favor the nomination of
Reed for president and the republi-
cans of this district and state are
presumed to be largely in favor of
McKinley's nomination, is preposter-
Gus. An exchange forcibly and truly
says.
Would it be good politics, would
it be common sense, to send Mr.. Bah
cock, even if he We're to say he would
vote in accordance with the senti-
ment of his state? 1t would not.
such a delegate would be positive
hindrance in bringing about the nom-
nation of Mckinley. Erveyone
would know lie was a Reed man.
Does anyone suppose he would lift q
hand to nominate Mckinley or raise
his voice iii advocating his nomin-
alton? He would simply grudgingly
vote for Mckinley. AS an ardent
Reed man he would be on the look
out for chances to add strength TO
his own candidate.n

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 16.-There was a
large crowd at the East San Jose course
this morning to witness the five-miIe
handicap road races of the San Jose Road
Club and the Columbus Cycling Club.
there being half an hours wait between
the races. The handicapping was good,
and both races proved interesting.
The San Jose Road Club race attracted
considerable interest on account of the fact
that it is one OF a series of races being held
for the purpose of developing a fast team
for the great relay race in April.
The race was a fast one, and the finish
between Floyd Mcfarland and Ted Belloli
was close. Mcfarland won the race in
1925 3-5, BellolI second in 1926. The
other starters and the handicaps
and the order in which they fin
ished were: J. J. Carroll (:4O) 14:10 2-5;
M. J. o. Brien (0:50) 14:27; H. S. Beach
Il :00), 14:42; R. Hammonds (scratch),
IL 80; George Bell (0:30), 14:53; Walter
Harris Il :00), 1904. John Wing started
from scratch but did not finish.
The five-mile handicap race of the CO.
lumbus Cycling Club also proved an inter
esting event. The race is the fourth of
series for gold medal. J. Hourtieg, with
handicap of AS, won the race in 16 "a:
J. Ferro (0:30), second. F. Cianciarulo
(scratch) was third and won the time prize
in 1852. q. Kunhardt was fourth in
1888. Schiele and Spinetti failed to finish.
