"weher we had SsO0O0 votes last cleo
tion. we will have 5000 votes this
year Then we elected three members
of the Legislature. this year we will
elect at least or 10"
In Indiana and Nebraska the party
Is growing in power. Throughout Min
nesota fifty young college men have
raised a fund of $4,000 for a temper
ance educational campaign and we ex-
pect to elect several legislators there"
In Delaware l believe the best thing
that can be done is to take up the
fight as a party and with an organza-
tion.
1T is thoroughly unsatisfactory to
tie up with other parties and after
election find your allied candidates 90
back on their pledges"
He spoke encouragingly OF the Mas
uft eli
that Prohibition principles were being
recognizes by the people and by the
parties.
speaking Of the initiative and
referendum" said he in response to a
question. that viii be a leading ques-
ton in many States this and next
year. 1t has been one OF the planks IN

past Is years"

STRIKE
MAY FOLLOW

The evicted black powdermakers who
belong to the union and have been out
on a strike against the DUPONT Com
pany have obtained other homes and
are awaiting developments in the slt-
uatlon. II was stated this morning
that the dupont representatives were
offering the strike leaders money 20 re-
turn. but that they refused unless the
union was recognized and eight hours
granted.
Forty-hve black powder mills
Throughout the country are controlled
by the dupont and allied concerns. In
thirty-six OF these the International
Powdermakers' Union has organized
locals and the progress OF the strug-
gle In this city IS being watched with
interest by these locals.
II has about been decided TO declare
a general strike In all mills whore un-
ions exist should the strike here not be
settled amicahly within a short time.
This would be a disastrous event 20

WINTERS TRADE
PROMISES WELL

After investigations by agents who
have spent several weeks in various
parts of the country in order to gauge
the situation, the Officials Of the
Pennsylvania railroad look for an un-
precedented freight traffic during the
coming winter. From evely direction
reports are being received that would
indicate that the fall and winter traf-
fc would be a record breaker IN every
respect The most promising feature
is that the movement of freight is
about equal East and West so the
railroads do not have to handle so
many empty cars in shipping them to
any point and then have them return
ed empty for another load for some
other destination. ...,.,...
The business interests Of this city
and State are brighter than ever be-
fore. and the business men are most
optimistic The amount of material
handled by the local roads taxes their
capacity and not infrequently delays
are caused because a sufficient num-
her of cars cannot be secured to ham
die the bulk Of the freight. The new
orders for more cars recently placed
by the railroads and the large increase
the Pennsylvania intends to make tc
its cars during the winter will, II il
thought. relieve the present condition

Ames, Iowa, Nov. 17.--In the last
game Of the home schedule, Ames de-
feated Grinnell college 25 to g. The
showing of the Ames team was dis
appointment, due to very slippery
field. Grinnell won the toss and
Ames returned the kickoff by a punt
which Grinnell fumbled. On the second
play Jcanson tried drop kick from
the 15-yard line which was blocked.
Ames' first touchdown came in two
minutes of play, being made by Biller
and Johnson kicked goal.
On the next kick off Grinnell got the
ball and by Dare making 10, Clack 20,
and Flanagan 20 on a Quarterback
kick, advanced it to the 26,yard line,
where they tried place kick. It was
blocked and Ames was forced to punt
from under the goal posts. Buggar
was used time and again for good
gains. In the first half Captain Jean
son tried four drop kicks from the 35-
yard line, and place kick from the
25-yard line, all of which failed. After
Jeanson advanced the ball forty yards
by returning punt. Reppert made
the second touchdown and the goal try
falled. Valerous was responsible for
a safety to Grinnell. In the second
half Liman replaced Mills, this being
the first change. Willetts soon replaced
Reppert and made the third touch
down, Jeanson kicking goal. McElhin-
ney was used for good gains in both
halves.
In the second half Grinnen tried the
forward pass twice with. no gains and
Ames tried it once with a 3-yard gain.
Grlnnell held twice on their own 5-yard
line, and the work of Hubbard in re.
turning punts was very spectacular

MICHIGAN THROWING
FISH AT CHICAGO
Journal Special Service.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 17.--The
board Of control Of athletics Of the uni
y1,ersity is strenuous in it's objection to
the proposed game which has been pro-
!ected between the University of Mich
iigan and Chicago alumni. There seems
to be persistent feeling that the
names Of the two institutions shall not
be linked, not even in a. post -grad uate
post-seasOn game.
The feeling is fairly well expressed
IN the words Of Regent Barbour, who
said: 81 think it is time to kiss Chi
cago goodby and let them 90 forever
Not only should Michigan take this ac-
tlon on account Of the Eskersall trick
OF last year, but the later fact that
they WEIGHED on us in the game for
this season. am opposed to seeing
relations resumed with Chicago. -
The following resolutions were passed
by the board Of control at recent
meeting and express the sentiment of
that body IN regard to the proposed
alumni game: .>t ..5 t ~
Whereas, It is the unanimous opin-
ion of the board of control of athletics
that any student, now enrolled in the
university, who may take part in the
game of football which has been pro-
posed! and is now being promoted by
certain players on Thanksgiving Day,
Nov. %, 1906, will be guilty Of a Sc
r1ous violation of the spirit. if not even
the rules: which have been adopted for
the regulation Of intercollegiate ath-
| letics., n =.
Resolved, That in case Of such Of
tense, the student or students involved
be recommended for discipline to the
senate Of the university. and, that by
the punishment of these resolutions.
the attention of the University Of Mich
igan must be called to the sentiments
Ct the board, and that appeal be made
to them accordingly to refrain now and
hereafter from any acts which may
give evan q suspicion Of professionalism
to intercollegiate athletics, or which
in any, way may compromise the posi-
versities of Chicago and Michigan, as
well as by other prominent universities

GOOD RECORDS MADE
IN BOWLING LEAGUE
Nobis and Frederickson Roll
Great Games, Winning
New Honors.

The past weeks play in the Handi..
cap Bowling league has brought about
many changes in the different stand
ings and every man in the league
seems to work harder as the season
progresses. Zimmerman, who has led
the average column in the Individual
standings, has been crowded out of his
position by Porter, bowler who has
slowly but surely climbed to the top.
Zimmerman has held first place in this
column for more than four weeks and
his displacement came as surprise to
many.
In the pin standings the Arcade club
has dropped to second place, the Toozes
taking the lead, but in the standing
hold the coveted place. The Arcades
were reported to have lost two games
to the Powers last week, but this was
an error as only one game was lost and
this after the hardest fight of the sea-
son.
During the week Huntoon, the Ar
cade bowler who held high score for
one game score, was put away by Fred
rickson, who made total of 272 pins,
" honors away from Reimer for the three
game total by making 703, as compared
with CTS. the previous record.
A new handicap schedule was drawn
up at the Thursdays meeting and
nearly every man in the league was
handed out a new total of advance
pins. There are five men who will
go thru the coming month from the
scratch, these being Wooley, Huntoon,
Garland, Feere and A. A. Hanson. Ali
of these bowlers are well up in the
individual standing and all are bowling
in great form. The following are the
standings and revised handicap sched-

FOOTBALL AT HAHA
Beavers Take on the Adams Aggrega-
ton This Afternoon. 49,

The Adams and Beaver Athletic as
soci alton football teams will line up
against each other this afternoon at
Minnehaha park in their final meeting
Of the season. Two games were ar
ranged between Managers Goldblum
and Rogers, and the Beavers were easy
winners in the first battle. Today s
game, however, will be more even and
Goldblum is confident that his aggrega-
tion will turn the tables on Roger g
bunch. --.
The Beavers are not discouraged over
their defeat Of las Sunday by the SOL
diers, but will go into this game with
their same never-quit spirit. Coach
Hunter has patched up the weak
points shown in last week 8 game and
everything is in readiness for today s
contest. The Adams have strengthened
their lineup and this, coupled with the
great showing made against New
Prague last Sunday will help them in
their endeavor to down the Beavers.
