And oh the run on the buffet. In
one room of the headquarters a count
er had been arranged and the big free
lunch was slipped to any who could
stem the crowd and get in. There
was some beer of thick fiavoring and
light lunch, and there was no lack OF
patronage.
The only thing the politicians seemed
to be unable to agree on was the fact
that there was not enough public
offices to go round, and some of. them
even went so far as to announce them
selves candidates for the same Office.

More Politicians There Than Offices,
but Guests Manage to Have a Good

Kinds on Deck

Here y are, here " are. If you
haven't Joined yet come right up and
sign i'm
The soft and seductive voice of the
handsome Leo Youngsworth, present
county surveyor and president of the
Republican league and soon to be
United States marshal, rang out over
the heads of the visitors at the new
headquarters of the Republican league
last night, and the politicians with ex-
pressions of almost" joy formed in
line and paid their little 81 without a
word.
1t was the house warming held in
connection with the opening of the
new headquarters of the league, and
incidentally the campaign ball was set
rolling. But the visitors had not ex-
pected the treat of being allowed to
pay real money to join and the crowd
began to get scarce.
There were many things to see of
interest. and almost any one, no mat
ter how fastidous his ideas of enjoy
ment, might have found plenty of it
in the league rooms.
Red Fire and Music
The fun started early with the burn
ing of much red fire and plenty Of band
music for the edlfication of those who
might stop to listen, but it was rain
ing and the bandmen soon grew weary
of their jobs and went home.
Up in the league rooms there was
an orchestra and presently it struck
up "The Star Spangled Banner" That
was just what the crowd was waiting
for; some of them had come a long
way to get a chance to sing that an
Of
ton, familiarly known as "Doc."
Maybe doc" was thinking of that
"mayoralty bee" and wanted to show
them how well he could sing if he
were elected mayor next time. At any
rate the glory crowned head raised its
shapely outlines high and the mellow
voice of "Doc" wriggled uneasily from
his throat and waited out across the
audience.
Nearby stood KID Soloman, the
pride of Sonoratown and a leading Re-
publican politician, and as the doc"
sang the kid made mental inventory
of "Doc's" throat as though he were
attempting to locate the origin of the
noise.
Barney Healy councilman from
the eighth, came early and stayed late
and all the time he puffed longingly
at a fat cigar and smiled upon his
constituents in all his unnecktied love-
linesS.
Henry Shearer who is thought of
seriously as candidate for county clerk
at the next election, was present with
his ever ready hand of gladness, while
William Shearer, clerk of the appel
late court, shone forth in a remarkably
new and lovely cap, of the fried egg"
variety. He was the envy of everyone
there.

COACH RE|D'S
SALARY HIGHER

Coach w. T. Reid. who will be at the
head OF Harvard football this year, is
probably the highest salaried football
coach in the country. Reid last year re-
ceived $500 from the Harvard Athletic
association for his two months coaching.
and then IL was admitted he received
$500 from other sources. so that his sal
ary was 5000 a year. almost as much as
President Eliot himself received.
The only other coach who ever re-
ceved this amount was Foster Sanford.
the old yale player. when he was coach
at Columbia. But Columhia's authorities
refused TO sanction this enormous salary
after year or two and Sanford had to
go.
Now, with the exception OF Reid. the
highest salary usually paid TO a football
coach Is $500. This is the amount which
Coach Nost receives from Michigan. IL
ls also the amount that Coach Williams
OF. Minnesota and Coach Stagg OF Chi
Cago are thought 90 receive
But the latter men earn their salary
more certainly than does Yost. for they
coach other teams besides football, their
whole time virtually being given up 10
coaching from one years end To the
other.

z ADDITIONS TO

The grand circuit horses began their
second and 1naI weeks engagement AT
Readville yesterday with the same fire
and dash that have characterized the
sport from the beginning.
The horses were in fine form and the
track very fast. but the wind blew al
most a gale. catching the animals as
they came home, which was a severe
handicap saving records materially.
The threatened showers held OF until
after the races, but the dark clouds
