STEVE RICH
UNWILLING TO
Be 'sHE[VED"

Representative stephen s. Rich OF East
Providence does not intend TO sumit
tamely TO edict OF the Republican bosses
in his town to retire from politics
He has represented the town In the gen.
eral assembly for more than 10 years; but
as Boss Brayton and as certain corpora
tions desire another man named for his
place their will is law unto the machine
that controls town affairs, and 1t shelves
Mr. Rich.
He has decided, therefore. to run on
nomination papers as candidate for sec
ond representative.
The machine thought IL had effectively
silenced Mr. Rich. when IL selected him
temporarily to fill the vacancy in the Of
fee OF town treasurer. an $500 position
which may be increased 20 5000.
The contest that Mr.. Rich has decided
TO make will brighten considerably the
chances OF the Democrats and Independ-

MANAGER FOR
MORAN SAYS
He WILL STICK

Boston, Oct 1o--Granville s. McFar-
laad. campaign, manager for District At
torney John b. Moran. announced today
that Mr. Moran would open his campaign
for governor either Monday or Tuesday
OF next week. This was McFarlanc's re-
sponse TO a deluge OF inquiries as TO
whether Mr. Moran would decline the
Democratic nomination.
II was emphatically stated at the Mo
ran headquarters today that Mr.. Moran
had no intentions OF Withdrawing. and II
was added that a statement embodying
the district attorneys attitude would be
given out later in the day. Mr.. Moran
himself had nothing TO say after his mid
night announcement through an agent
that he intended to remain In the field.
A great variety OF stories were circu-
lated today as to what Moran INTENDED 10
do, and most OF these declared that he
would withdraw from the fight for gov
ernor altogether, especially as the nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Moran abded by the counsel Of his
campaign managers and decided not TO
send letter TO the convention.
Another basis for the alleged declina-
tion was the ir1probabillty OF raising a
suitable campaign fund. but the Moran
committee states that this does not enter
into the question In any way.
The basis Of Mr.. Moran's dissatsfac-
tion with the Democratic nomination Is
the Democratic conventions endorsement
Of Bryan for president In 1908. The Bryan
endorsement is stated to have been the
real cause OF Moran's visit to New York
for the purpose OF consulting with Will
liam r Hearst
This Bryan endorsement was presented
TO the convention at the last moment by
George Fred williams. a Moran leader
but II was bitterly opposed by Manager
Mcfarland who declared that II Mr.. Mo
ran were present at the convention he
would object TO II most seriously?
Mr. Moran is said to have feared the
possibility OF a Bryan endorsement and
10 have written a letter to the delegates
OF the convention which was not. how
ever. forwarded, in which he contended
that an Endorsement OF presidential
candidate would cause a division OF the
Democracy throughout the state. He
pointed out that In Massachusetts, there
were two factions. one favoring the NOM
ination in 1905 OF Bryan and the other of
Hearst but as neither Bryan nor Hearst
Is an avowed candidate now, their sup
porters should follow their example and
remain friends in all political contests
until the time arrives when IL would be
necessary to choose between them.

DECISION FOR CANS.
Holly Had CoIored Man Guessing the
Entire Twenty Rounds.

Seattle Wash, July 24.-Joe Cans
vas given the decision over Dave Holly
at Pleasant Beach last night after an
interesting battle that went the limit.
twenty rounds Holly insisted in
ciinehing repeatedly and used his
weight to advantage. Cans had his
opponent groggy in the last round but
could not put him down.
Cans had absolutely no chance to
show his science in clean fighting but
was forced throughout to fight the bat
tie at which Holly is best. Tt was not
until the eighteenth round that Cans
began to make his work tell on Holly.
Then he landed several rights and lefts
that drew blood and closed one of Hoi-
ly's eyes. Early in the contest Cans
received punch in the right eye that
cut deep cash and a little later Holly
landed again and during the remainder
of the contest Cans was lighting with
one eye closed.
The last three rounds were the fast
est of the battle. In the last round
Cans landed hard on Holly and for 4
minute it looked as if the Baltimore
boxer would win. Holly's great
strength come to his rescue, however.
and he was able to fight back and
bring Cans into a clinch. When the
gong that marked the close of the fight
sounded the men we're clinched.
