COLLEGE ATHLETES
 ARE GETTING ACTIVE
Preparations Being Made for
 the Spring Meets
VANDERBIL IFS GOOD TEAM
Tennessee Boys Look Unusually Good This Year, and Will Probably Score the Greatest Number
 of Points.

Nashville, Tenn, February 17.-(Spe- cial l)-The days of warm sunshine and baseball will soon be here and along with them the knights of the cinder path will don the light jackets and short trousers. Interest in this particular phase of athletics promises to be unusually strong at Vanderbilt this year, and some good contests will be pulled off
 The first meet under consideration is a dual contest with Texas on Dudley field, May II and 12. The Rangers have agreed to come for the net gate receipts, and the contract stipulates that both teams shall enter only ten men. This meet will doubt less prove warm contest, as the Texans are one of the strongest teams in the south. Two years ago they beat the Commodores out in what proved almost a dual meet at Austin, and it now remains to be seen whether they can come here and turn the trick.
 The following Saturday the regular southern intercollegiate meet will be held on Dudley field, and it promises to de- velop into one of the bitterest contests ever held by the association. The Uni versity of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Se- vance and Tennessee have already sig nifed their intention of entering men, and it is possible that Louisiana State and Tulane may send representatives.
 Of those mentioned the first team has not entered the meets since it was held in Atlanta three years ago. In that year they were strong contestants, and they are expected to send strong teams here. Tennessee was also a contestant in that meet and won several places. Although Sewanee has never sent a team. quite good deal of interest has been aroused, and the Tiger team will doubtless give as good an account of itself in this game as in all others
 In addition to these Manager Brown has also been negotiating with Tulane and Louisiana State in regard to a triple meet to be held in the Crescent City April 2S.

No one will deny the fact that the
republicans did the best they could
in Delaware county during the re-
cent campaign. What more, could
they have done? Judge Edw: P.
Seeds Of Washington, d. O., spoke
at Greeley, Earlville and Manches-
ter. Congressman Birdsell spoke at
Manchester and Hopkinton.s Rep,
iresentative Bixby, County Attorney
Cloud and Judge Seeds spoke at
Colesburg. Hon. w. II. Torber Of
Dubuque, and Representative Bixby
addressed the empty chairs at Delhi
one night Governor A. B. Cum
Minis lent his magnetic presence and
delivered speech here during the
republican pre-convention cam
paign. Hon LATE Young followed
hot on the governors trail. Hon.
Geo. d. Perkins also spoke here,
it is unnecessary to add, during the
pre-convention camFaign. Secretary
Of the Treasury, Leslie NJ. Shaw,
closed the notable campaign in this
county with laundering speech
delivered to packed house here in
Manchester four days before cleo

vicksburg Monument Dedicated.

The services connected with the
unwilling dedication of the Iowa
monument planned and built by the
Vicksburg Monument Commission,
Of which Capt. j. f. Merry of this
city, is the chairman, were held last
week at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Capt. Merry made the presentation
speech in which he presented the
monument, as yet unfinished to Gov.
A. B. Cummins representing the
state of Iowa, who in turn presented
it to the United States Miss Grac e
Rigby Of Mount Vernon, Iowa. un-
yelled the monument Capt. Merry
spoke as follows:
Some years after the memorable
and amicable conference between
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and Gen.
Robert E.Lee Of Appomattox when
the question OF establishing COM
memorative battlefield parks was
being discussed, Gen Grant was
heard to say that if any one of the
events Of the Civil War was more
worthy Of commoration than another
it was the campaign and siege of
Vicksburg. No one acquainted with
Gen Grant would charge him with
selfish motives in giving expression
to such sentiments simply because
Vicksburp was the place where he
won his first great renown. 1t was
simply because he was acquainted
with every detail of the terrible con-
fiict and appreciated then what 50
many have since, that the bravery
and yalor Of every soldier who par
ticipated in the campaign and siege.
Of Yicksburg, whether he wore the
Blue or the Gray, was entitled to
everlasting remembrance. Engag-

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 81, 1906.
On the Run.

The following is a portion Of an
editorial which appeared in the last
issue of the Manchester Press under
the head Of "The Penalty Of Faction
ism:
"For several years past, owing to
causes which it is not difficult to
trace and which it is unnecessary to
>particularize, the republicans cf
Delaware county have been divid-
ed into factions. Musual distrust
has been aroused, bad blood engend-
ed ana the knife has been freely
used in the settlement CT scores old
and new. The result has been what
might have been expected. First a
supervisor was lost, then meritor-
ious candidate for sheriff was de-
feated, and now two of the major
Offices Of the county-auditor and
sheriff -llavo been turned over to
the local democracy. The ballot
has been employed as club. and in
this respect neither side has been
blameless.. 1t does not require a
particularly acute perception to
realize that the trend of things is
distinctly unlavorable to the party :
interests in the county, with the
; outlook that if the situation is not
remedied the opposition will soon
beiin the ascendaucy.
The Press does not believe thai
this is an exaggerated or unwarrant
ed view Of the situation The ra
pid and steady inroads made by The
local democracy during the past ST.
years furnish evidence that it il
not. No party, local or state or ma
tional, can long endure factional di
yision without loss, if not disrup
ton"
II is barely possible that thes
same ideas have occurred to others
In any event, the admission of til
true situation on the part of the re
publican organ makes interestin
reading.

Silly Charges.

A sensational article appeared in
the Des Moines Capital last Friday
evening, evidently inspired by the
men who have been backing the late
candidacy of Marsh Of Waterloo for
the vacant pcsitionon the democratic
national committee. The article
sowght TO convey the idea that Mr.
Sells, the probable successor to Mr..
Walsh, had been in the recent state
campaign a traitor to Porter, the
democratic candidate for governor,
and that not only Sells, but John d.
Dennison, Jerry Sullivan, j. B.
Weaver. Louis Murphy, and other
progressive democrats, while appar-
emily friendly to Porter, were in
reality working against him. No
more silly and unfounded political
yarn was ever concocted by bunch
OF desperate politicians. The yarn
is 80 silly that perhaps no attention
should be paid to it, and yet the
friends of Mr.. Sells, against whom
the attack is aimed, cannot allow the
story to rest unanswered. 1t is more
than partisan matter. All the
people Of the state are interested in
it. The men charged with treachery
stand for the highest political honor
and any attack on that honor is an
attack on the entire state.
i No one was more interested in the
success of Mr.. Porter than were the
men above named. At the demo-
cratic convention at Waterloo, when
it became apparent that there would
be a contest between the radicals
and the conservatives, the former
picked either Dennison or Porter te
win the nomination. The Con
servatives wanted to name Ball, who
was to have the standpat republican
support after the convention wa,
over. The radicals went to the sup
port of Porter in sufficient humble:
to give him the nomination and the,
did it because they believed Porte
was the strongest man. A numbe
: of the leaders canvassed the situation
. thoroughly and, in spite Of the fac
that Porter was wanted for the con
gressional ticket in the Eighth dis
: trict, he was induced to say h
would accept, and he was nominated
Had these leaders who believed
. wise to nominate Porter bee
e anxious to support Cummins, woul
e they not have advised the nominatio
n of Ball or some other conservatil
n democrat, whom the progressiy
:. democrats would have deserted b
n the thousands? Mr.. Porter had II
% more enthusiastic supporter tina
r Mr.. Sells. The charge that John
" Dennison deserted his chief is ais
" unutterably silly, as is the san
le charge with relation TO the 9th,

But perhaps the best answer
is the attack of the friends of Marsh

A Fair Proposition.

Hon. Cato Sells, who has been the
leading candidate for democratic
national committeeman, has written
a letter to C. w. Miller, chairman
Of the state central committee offer
ing to withdraw from the race. on
condition that Judge Wade also
withdraw and that. Claude r. Por-
ter, late democratic candidate for
governor, be named for the place or
that the place be left vacant and the
appointment made by the next state
convention.
The action taken by Mr.. Sells is
prompted by none but patriotic and
unseliish motives and desire to
promote harmony among the demo-
Gratis of lowe. 1t will test the sir
cerity of the ultra conservative ele-
ment which has protested a desire
for harmony. The following is Mr..
Sells, letter:
'Vinton, Iowa, Nov. 10, 1906.
Hon. G. w. Miller, chairman demo-
cratic state central committee, Wav-
erly. Iowa.
my dear sir: Those of, your
committee who were favorable to the
appointment of w. W. Marsh as
national committeeman for Iowa,
and who now favor the appointment
of NJ. ]. Wade, have announced in
an address to the members Of the
democatic national committee that
the withdrawal of Mr.. Marsh and
the substitution of Judge Wade is
in the interest Of party harmony.
Regardless of the reason why
Mr.. Marsh withdrew, certainly it
mast now be apparent that the can
didacy Of Judge Wade does not meet
with universal approval.
l am more interested in party
unity and the ascendency of genuine
democratic principals than l ain in
the personal preferment involved in
being appointed national committee.
man and as evidence Of my SINGER
ity and to test your declaration for
harmony, propose. to withdraw as
candidate for committeeman pro-
yided your committee shall recon-
slider its recent action and recon
mend the Hon. Claude r. Porter for
the place. Mr.. Porter being our
late candidate for governor ought to
be satisfactory, to your committee,
which conducted his campaign and
believe he would be entirely salts
factory to the democrats of the state.
"As an additional reason why Mr..
Porter should be acceptable / re
mind you that he was unanimously
nominated for governor by the state
convention which also unanimously
endorsed Mr.. Bryan and that Mr..
Bryan came to Iowa and spoke in
Mr.. Porter's behalf.
