Mason is right that the younger repub-s
licans are for Mr.. Cummins and the
office holders for Gear they should
take into consideration that the young
or republicans represent larger class
and cast more votes than do the office
Holders.
However, casting aside the question of
the proportion of sentiment, the Times
men will admit that Marshall county
contains many republicans on both sides
OF this question. When it says that it
believes the prevailing sentiment the
sentiment of the majority, to be for Mr..
Cummins, 1t does so from athoroughly
non-partisan standpoint. The Times
Republican has not cried out that I'VE
want either man. Its editorial conduct
is admitted to have been eminently fair
and impartial. Partisan bias of judg-
ment can not be laid at its door Its in
vestigation has been careful and con-
slant. extending over a period of twelve
months. Its opinion. for opinion only
are we trying To express, has been de-
rived from q number OF facts. IN the
first place we do believe that MIR. Kim
balls success in the primaries was a
Cummins expression. For he vas known
to be Cummins man and his opponent
a Gear man, and while the issue was
not vital one it was generally talked.
In Mr.. Classen's case the circumstances
were not the same. hut he did receive
the active support of Cumnins men on
the Understanding that his would be a
Cummins vote Since then the editor
of this paper has tailed with many re-
publicans. many others have written:i

until about two weeks ago, when they
began an agitation to induce our sena-

MERRITT'S THROWING WAS POOR

Webster, Sept. 2.-The game today
with Milford on Beacon park grounds
was called at the end Of the fifth in
ming on account of rain. Milford then
was ahead by one run, the score stand
ing to-.
Billy Merxitt, the star of stars, was
away off today. He usually plays a
fast game. but he was slow today. He
was largely responsible for the loss of
the game The great catcher's right
wing was a trifis CLASSY. 1t never act
ed that way with him before. He had
caught cold. and it nestled among the
muscles that he uses in shooting the
sphere across the diamond. His wild
ness did the trick. The game was lost
when he threw to Shea to cut off the
runner, and the ball went over theithird
basemans head, and the runner came
home.
Sanders, most of the time, was very
effective. There was only one instance
when the visitors got after him. That
was in the third inning. They ham
mered him for three two-base hits,
sending in two earned runs.
Sanders had five strike-outs to his
credit, while the visiting pitcher failed
to strike out any of Webster's hard
hitting team, although they failed to
hit him very hard. On the whole, both
pitchers pitched a good game.
1t began to rain in the third inning
but not enough to do any damage until
the Websters were going to bat in the
sixth. Then it poured. AS it did not
let up the game was finally called, the
grounds being soaked.
Although Milford won two out of
three games, the local fans are not sat
isfied that it is a stronger club. The
score yesterday was a margin Of only
one, while today the result might have
been different had the game been played
out. Milford has got good team, and

Another game will be arranged with

out there. The attendance at the game
was small, but that was owing to the
fact that all of the mills and factories

prize for the first oarsman to cross the
finish line.
Spencer sports were not satisfied that
Balloon was the best man, and accord

go side. The greatest rivalry exists
between the two towns. Spencer
sports claim Bonner is the better man.
and North Brookfield rowing enthusi-
asts are willing to place their money
on Balcom. Bonner is an oarsman of
no mean ability, and Balcom will have
to work harder to win this time than
ever before.
The North Brookfield sports are san

one OF the North Brookfield supporters
of Balloon said: Eyes. Balloon is going

did the trick before and can do it again.
While we admit that Bonner is a good
man and a very capable oarsman. II
must be remembered that Balloon de-
feated him before. We are ready to
back our favorite with good money,

SUSPICIOUS BLAZE.

Chief Frank E. Babcock leans
strongly to the opinion that the fire in
the house of Thomas Madigan, Oak
street. this morning, was of incendiary
origin. The fire started in a hallway,
at the rear of the house behind door.
1t is probable that the fire marshal, or
one of his deputies will be asked to
make an investigation.
Mr.. Madigan, the owner, is of the
opinion that the band concert in the

with the blaze.
