skERRETT CIRCULARS.
Qualifications of Mellen's Opponent
Set Before Ward 4 Voters.


Two thousand copies of the following
circular will be sent out today in ward
four by the campaign committee that
is looking after the interests of Mark
N. Skerrett and his candidacy for the
legislature against James H. Mellen.
In announcing the candidacy of Mark
N. Skerrett for representative nomina-
ton in ward four. it is unnecessary to
go into any extended Introduction. He
is known to the voters in the ward,
having lived his whole life in their
midst He does not seek your votes
as the candidate of any faction. He
has entered into the contest on his mer-
its. and is qualified in every way to fill
the office of representative to the great
and general court.
He is a product of our common
schools, a graduate of the high school,
and studied at Holy Cross. Circum-
stances prevented his graduation from
the institution on Mt. st. James, as Mr..
Skerrett was forced to leave college
early in his career to start out in the
world as a bread winner. During his
spare moments he studied law and was
admitted to the bar.
Mr.. Skerrett has been a lifelong dem
ocrat. From the day he cast his first
ballot to the present, he has voted the
straight ticket. We feel that he is
the proper man to represent ward four
and. if elected, will be heard from in
the halls of legislation. He is pre-
eminently a candidate of the people, a
friend of the workingman a staunch
supporter of the principles of organized
labor, champion of progressive, dem
ocratic ideas.
We have put before the voters OF
ward four for a choice to represent
them. man whose character. ability
and honesty cannot be questioned A
man who has persevered under adverse
circumstances to make his way in the
world. and we feel he should be credited
and rewarded by every man in ward
four who has the feeling for true man

LIVELY PRACTICE.
Jimmy Rodgers, Possible Head Coach,

Jimmy Rodgers, Possible Head Coach,
Arrives at Yale,
New Haven, Conn, Sept. 22.-There
was no lack of variety in the practice
Of the Yale eleven today. 1t was also
longer period of work than the preced-
ing practices. For more than an hour
Capt. Mcbride kept the men going with
an interval of few minutes for rest.
James Otis Rodgers, currently report
ed to be the prospective head coach of
the eleven, was on hand for the first
time today. 1t is known. however, to-
night that the management is unwill-
ing to be quoted as authority for the
statement that Mr.. Rodgers is their
choice.
Billy Bull confined his attention
solely to the backs, spending much time
on Sharpe at fail back. THE line men
were afterwards sent down the field on
short runs for practice in quick start
ing, which was so serious a fault last
year. Trainer Robinson took particular
pains with this practice, setting the men
as for a race and starting them in much
the same way as track athletes would
start. A feature of the playing was the
fine tackling by Richards substitute of
last year. Gould at end also showed
cleverness in this respect. Keifer at
half-b back and Raymond, a new man,
We're good at carrying the ball. Keifer
was spoken of well by Bull after the
practice He handles the ball like vet
eran and better than any other man in
the squad. Raymond is like Brink"
Thorne in appearance, and was by some
spectators mistaken for him. He is not
quite so heavy, however, but plays
aggressively and is very quick on his
feet The fault with the team play to-
day, considered as a whole, seemed to
be inability to hold the ball in scrim-
