WITHDRAW
FROM RACE
TEN LEADERS REFUSE TO CON.
TlNuE slx.DAY BICYCLE
CONTEST.

New York, Dec Z. - Angry be-
cause they believed the race was be-
ing unfairly conducted and because
methods which they allege to be
wrong allowed other riders to gain a
lap upon them, five teams, composed
of Walthour and Monroe, the Bedell
brothers, Mayo and Newkirk, Mclean
and Bowler and Butler and Moran quit
the six day bicycle race early today.
All Of them we're among the best in
the contest and among those most
heavily backed to win the highest
prize.
Say Rules Were Broken.
The trouble was precipitated by the
most exciting period of the riding
which the race had thus far given,
when Root and Dorlon, followed later
by Stol and Van Derstuyft, succeeded
in gaining a lap on their opponents.
Walthour. who acted as spokesman for
the five dissatisfied teams, declared
that the members Of those teams re-
lieved each other at intervals not al
lowed by the rules of the contest.
Have Been Suspended.
II The board of control of the National
Cycling association suspended in
definitely the ten riders who withdrew
from the race. Their cases will be
disposed Of at the annual meeting of
the association in February and until
then the men cannot ride on any track
in the United States.
Standing OF Riders.
At 10 o'clock Van Derstuyft-S
and Root-Dorlon, led with 1,058 miles
and one lap. Six teams were one lap
and four teams two laps behind them

NJ ESsAGE Is ADMIRED
British Press Compliments President
Roosevelt and Speaks In High Terms
Of the Letter Read to Congress Yes
terday-WaIIace to Have Free Hand.

London. Dec. THE press Of
London regards President Roose-
velt's message as a statesmanlike,
highly courageous and notable
document which the Post ven
lures to think ''Will do more than
any public utterance of recent
years to increase the sympathy be-
tween Britons and Americans"
Following this expression with the
passage from the message where
the President speaks of his for
eign policy as zone for which the
English speaking world will now
and hereafter be thankful"
The majority of newspapers edi-
torially approve the Presidents
advocacy OF a strong army and
navy in order to preserve "the
peace of Justice" and acquit
Roosevelt of any lingo aims. Some
on the other hand, consider the
message injurious to ideals of dis
armament and arbitration. The
Graphic, for example, thinks this
message will then strengthen
the advocates Of bloated arma-
ment in every country"

What the Country Wants and What
Not.

What the country wants at this time
for president is q man that will re-
gard the constitution and laws as the
landmarks of the peoples liberties; a
man who will not forget that there are
three coordinate branches of our gov
ernment-legislative, executive and ju-
dicial. A man who will not establish
dangerous precedents; a man with no
enemies to punish; with no favorites to
reward; with no entangling alliances
to hamper; with no personal ends to
subserve and with no personal grievance
to avenge; a man who believes that the
high cost of living is not desirable and
that illegal combinations and monop-
olies, which bring 1t about should be
pursued and crushed with a relentless
hand; and man who knows that mil
itarism and coloniansm are inimical to
Republican institutions. Such a man
is Judge Parker of New York.
What the country does not want is
man who believes that high taxes
and extravaganza are blessings; a man
who believes that corruption and
fraud are necessary evils; a man who
will legislate by executive order; a
man who will commit acts of war
without the consent of congress; a man
who will busy himself with the affairs
of other nations. Such man is Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Which do the people
prefer?

LaWler's View of It.

Carrollton Chronicle There Is no
wrong in Democrats acquiescing in a
gold standard. We did not advocate
such a standard, nor did we believe in
1t, but Republicans punked it down the
throats Of the country and there it is.
It is the same way with negro suffrage
and similar enactments. 1t is hard to
acquiesce in such Republican evils but
they must be endured until they can be
cured.
The southern states took long years
TO cure negro rule but they are now
getting out of the woods. When the
time comes to cure the single stand
ard of money, the Teilers, Pettigrews,
Cannons, Thurmans, Warmers, Kill
bournes, McLeans, Bryans, Hearst and
Democrats generally will all be on
deck But until that time we don't
want to butt our heads against a stone
wall nor be chained to a corpse.
Republicans disregarded silver to
make money scarce and dear but there
have been big finds Of gold to take sill
ver's place. The money kings have
been disappointed and a Democratic
contention for plentiful supply of
money has been satisfied. When the
gold deposits have been worked out the
popular demand for silver will be re-
newed.

they met at Alliance and nominated
for congress that fearless champion
of the peoples rights. H. Foley
Mr.. Foley was a candidate two years
ago but was defeated by the present
cause the party was sorely divided
But no such difficulty exists this year
and Mr.. Foley enters the race with a
united and enthusiastic party at his
back. The state convention nominal
ed a state ticket in the latter part
of May and their action at Columbus
concerning the national ticket was rat
flied at st. Louis. So the Democrats
go into the state fight unhandicapped
by bitterness and jealousy as they
were last year. Early in June Judge
Voorhees, was nominated for circuit
judge for the Fifth judicial circuit.
He has made such an admirable Off
Ger during his first term that there is
little, il any doubt of him succeed
ing himself. Last week the Democrats
of the nation met in national conclave
and nominated Judge Parker of New
York, and ex-senator Davis, of West
Virginia, for president and vice presi-
dent. That this was . wise selection
is demonstrated by the fact that the
odds of to which were offered on
Roosevelt two weeks ago have now
fallen to 10 to 6.
But the convention which has not
been held yet and which all Demo
Gratis are deeply interested in is the
county convention which meets in
Canton on Tuesday, August 2. 1t is
composed of 179 delegates. There are
five Offices to fill, clerk, auditor, com
missioner, infirmary director and cor
oner. For these Offices the Democrats
should nominate the very best men
they nave SO that hopeful battle can
be waged in Stark county 1t is bet
ter to be defeated with a good ticket
than to win with poor one A good
county ticket will spur every Demo
crat in the county to renewed energy
in the coming battle. There is no use
to defer the redemption of the coun-
ty from the Republicans. The time
to do 1t is now.

The newspapers in East Liverpool,

manding that their cities be cleaned
up morally. The East Liverpool Re-
view has taken the lid off so complete
