MI. Merritt said:
i am receiving letters from up the
state some of which say that Charles
the F1rst's head was cut off for less.
Tfe sentiment up there against inter.
ference by the governor and president
Is pronounced and growing. They have
lost sight of Odell and Higgins in this
matter and are giving their attention
to the right Of the assembly to elect
Its speaker.
This interference Is q part of Pres.

trol of the party organization in other
states as we'll as New York. Thel
want to get control of New York first
but the president is trying it also in
Connecticut and Ohio. They are try

Frank B~randegee. l don't know
whether the presidents action comes
from his natural desire to run things
or to advance his rate legislation"

AFTER TICKET ScALPERS.
Mayor Of Chicago Would Stop Sales II
SPECTATORS.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-The energetic
work of Mayor Dunno in %suppressing
the scalping of tickets to the Thanks
giving football game between the uni
versities of Michigan and Chicago bore
such satisfactory fruit that he has
now entered upon a campaign against
the scalpers who, he alleges, have
made a practice of buying up theatel
tickets and selling them to the public
at an eNorbitant advance. Ever since
the football game OF Thanksgiving
day the mayor has been deluged with
requests that he suppress the scalpine
of theater tickets and he called q
meeting OF the theatrical managers OF
the city to devise a way to keep the
tickets out of the hands OF the scalp
ers and to make arrangements for the
punishment of any person charging
excessive prices for theater tickets.

In SOUTH DAKOTA
All the College Teams Getting
Ready for Stiff Work This
Season.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Mitchell, S. D., Sept. e.-Judging from re
ports from the various colleges there is to be
some lively football in South Dakota this sea-
son. The college season will open in the state
| within two three weeks, and the will be
selected for immediate practice. Coach Hardy
of Dakota Wesleyan of this city has Travelled
over the state or less this summer and has
| been looking into football matters to some
extent.
! at looks to me as If we were going to have
| a great season." said Hardy. every college in
South Dakota Is making strenuous effort to
| turn out a good team. When the fall terms
| open the coaches will be the ground get
| ting the men into line. ..
! Il do not believe any team will have
walkaway Iankton, Bookings vermillion
and Mitchell ought to be evenly matched, with
| the advantage in favor of Brookings. short
! time ago the manager of the Brookings team
told me they expected most of their old men
! tural college represented by the best team
in its history. 1 have not learned who is to
coach them, but am confident they not en-
tering the field without a strong man to lead.
''Whittmore goes back to Vermillion. The
authorities there very reluctant about
| accepting his resignation. He has been success
| full with the boys at the state university. He is
a Brown man-one of the best tackles in the
east. The team he leads into the field this fall
wiz do credit to Vermillion and to his coaching
ability l predict that their game with us
will be worth going long distance to see.
Coach Griffith, who was with Iankton last
year, goes to Morningside this season. Tho
not in this state, the Sioux City boys usually
play South Dakota teams. And, by the way,
rumor has it that this fall they intend to open
our eyes to some new things in football STRAIT
egg. In fact, we may look for something of
that kind Griffith knows the game and has a
way Of getting his to play it effectively.
"a coach from Albion, Mich, takes charge
of the Yankton boys. While in college he
played on Albion's team. Tho 1 DO not know
him personally, I am Informed that the Yank-
ton fellows are happy because they have been
able to secure the services of so able man.
Most of their old team will be out again on
the gridiron when school opens. Their contest
with should be fast and close.
MY hopes high however. Our boys are
eager to get at the pigskin. Captain Weak
tells me that they all write him Wen be
there That looks encouraging. With such
cool headed, able, persevering Captain
Weak to lead. the boys should be anxious tc
make the fight Of their lives. We may be q
little short on weigh, bu will work hard o be
long snap
