turned down yesterday in his attempt

match at the Star theater when Police

plant against the men.

trict in which boxing contests can be
held is unconstitutional.

effect as that given the chief by Mr..
Beebe.

got a line on State sentiment on the
question, or Is there any State senti-
ment one way or another about il? II
Vox Popul thinks that the proposed
amendment means the slightest addi-
tional tax on him, that's as far as he
wants to acquire knowledge on the sub
ject, and he'll vote against il. But If
he = dead sure that the other fellow has

misfortune with heroic fortitude and
vote for II. In either event he doesn I

and which way that class stampedes on
election day, that way the election goes,
for the great obfusticated are in big
majority. The Governor may "norate

may preach from the tripod until they
are both exhausted. hut it is wasted
