SILENT FOLKS IN POLITICS.

II am getting along in years
now," said former Lieutenant
Gov. w. P. Thorne, at the Seel-
bach. II have been in politics
all my life and l have stumped
every county in the State, but /
want to tell right here of a sign
when ever any political party
sees it, that party had better pre-
pare for defeat, because it's
coming, sure.
ga good many speakers talk
about speaking to a crowd which
was silent and gave him close at
tention. That's what all our
Democratic speakers in the last
align told me. 1 said:
Boys, look out. The hoodoo
sign is out.
Don't give me these silent
folks to vote for me. Whenever
a lot of people attend a political
meeting and sit up before you
like so many pieces of marble or
bisque figures, and look you
right straight in the eye and
never take their eyes away from
you, it's Katie bar the door.
They mean business. but are go
ing to transact it for the other
fellow. Everywhere Beckham,
Hager and all of our good Dem
ocrats went this year, they met
up with whole 'passels' of these
silent folks and you see what
they did to us. Wilson had
crowds that cheered him wheth-
er he said anything or not, and
this sign is a pointer for. young
men in politics. Watch 'em and
if they never take their eyes off
the speaker, Lever move a mus
Gle, and never show any evil
dences of enthusiasm, it's all
over. Louisville Times.

At Nashville last week there
was a gathering of represent
alive Democrats to set on foot an
organized effort to bring about
the nomination of a Southern
man as the next Democratic can
didate for President. There is
no reason why the South should
not name the candidate. There
are scores of men worthy and
capable, and a reunited country
should no longer consider ge-
ographical lines in the selection
of a candidate. The best Dem
ocrat and the best and most
available man should be named,
no matter if he comes from
Maine or Texas.

PROHIBITION IS ISSUE.

Prohibition is the only issue in
the South. The entire population
is now lined up on one side or the
other. There is no distinct pro-

old parties have put planks in

HIGHMAYMEN.
WayIay and Rob Lone Traveller,
who is Touring Kentucky and
the South on Foot.

Carlisle Holmes, who gave his
address as Grandledge, Mich.
presented a most pitiful sight
Wednesday evening when he
notified the officers here that he
had been waylaid and robbed
near Sloans Valley, a station on
the @. & C. Railroad about
twelve miles from Somerset, by
two young men, who approach
ed him from behind and struck
him a heavy blow on the head,
knocking him Unconscious.
His clothes were torn almost
off when he recovered his senses
and six dollars in money was
missing, besides a large quantity
of valuable papers. The attack
took place just this side of the
tunnel at Sloans Valley. Holmes
was picked up by two pedestrians
and helped to the station, where
the fast train was stopped by
orders of Superintendent Cald-
well, to bring him to Somerset,
where medical attention could be
furnished. He was very weak
from the loss of blood, but re-
vived sufficiently to relate a
terrible story of the affair, after
his wounds were dressed by DR..
Reddish.
Holmes is a native of Michi-
gan, having a wife and one
child at Grandledge. He has a
son at Oakland, California, and
desiring to see the picturesque
country in Southern Kentucky
and Tennessee before going west
he started out on foot several
weeks ago to travel through the
South. He carried a small tent
and hammock with him, with
which he sheltered himself at
night and procured rest. He
had permission to ride on freight
trains along this road and COW
cred much of the distance be-
tween Cincinnati and this city
that way. He had a camera
with which he takes views of
the country through which he
travels. He appears to be a
highly educated man and claims
to be writing feature stories for
Michigan papers on his travels
through this part of the country.
He had a terrible wound in his
head, where he was struck by a
blunt instrument and his clothes
were covered with blood.
The affair happened about 5
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The officers were given a good
description of the men and
Holmes is still here awaiting
their work, as he claims he can
easily identify them. His wife
and daughter at Grandledge
have been apprised of his con-
dition. Holmes came to this city
from Danville, where he took
several views Of that picturesque
old town. Somerset Times.

against local OpClOn anu PROM
bition.
In Alabama law has recent
ly been passed authorizing each
county to vote on the liquor
question, and a large majority
of the counties have already
voted for prohibition. 1t is pre-
dicted that the next legislature
will pass a general prohibition
law.
In Arkansas a similar law pre-
walls, and sixty out of seventy
eight counties have adopted pro-
hibition.
In Florida thirty ont of forty
five counties have suppressed all
saloons, and the Democratic
party has declared for prohibi-
ton. This means the adoption
of a general prohibition law at
the next session of the legisla-
ture.
In Kentucky mirabile dictu-
the sale of liquor is prohibited
in all but four of the 10 coun-
ties Of the state, and even in
those every saloon is closed on
Sunday.
In Louisiana seven Fights of
the counties areCdry, and there
is a law prohibiting what are
called jug trains" Before this
law was passed accommodation
trains used to run from cities
and towns where liquor was sold
into the dry counties" on Sat-
urday so that thirsty citizens
could buy a supply for Sunday.
Mississippi has had county
local option for several years,
and in sixty eight out of seven
ty-fve counties there are laws
prohibiting not only the sale of
liquor, but it must not be given
away. A man may be sent to
jail for inviting a visitor to take
a drink with him in his own
house. This law is habitually
evaded by placing the bottle and
the glasses on the sideboard or
the mantelpiece, where the Wis
itors can help themselves.
South Carolina has recently re-
pealed the dispensary law and
adopted county option instead,
and it is expected that a general
prohibition law will be passed at
the next session Of the legisla-
ture.
Georgia has a general prohibi-
ton law, and the sale of liquor
is absolutely prohibited through
out that state.
In Tennessee liquor is sold in
but three counties. It's sale is
absolutely prohibited everywhere
else, and the members of the
next legislature from other parts
of the state will probably wipe
out those wet spots at the next
session.
In Texas two-thirds of the
counties have adopted absolute
prohibition and have made it I'M
lawful to give away as we'll as to
sell liquor, as in Mississippi.
Prohibition is the principal issue
of the campaign now in progress.

REFUSES MATCH
WITH THOMPSON
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.-Barney
Van Ruskirk, manager of the Marys-
Vile Athletic club, said today that DICK
Hyland had turned down, through ms ms
manager, Sammy McClintic, the of1er
of a $4,000 purse for a thiry-round nght
before his club February %.
McClintic uses as his excuse that ne
is under promise to fight before Morris
Levys club in San Francisco on Levy
first date in January. This appears
rather peculiar, as Levy has also given
his word to "Cyclone" Thompson that
he would give him his first date this
year. .,,o .rvo bove.
for a fight in San Francisco, McCiintlc
is using this loophole by whlch 10
escape a match with Cyclone, showing
that his boy does not want any OF the
latter's game. BuskirlS stated tonight
that he would try to find some one else
to An Hyland's place in the match Win
Thompson, and as there are but few
good iightweights on the coast TO-DAY
his task will be by no means an easy
one,

this morning and all details regarding
rules will be arranged.
Two rafting preliminaries have been
arranged. Jack Cox and George Brown
are carded for a ten-round go. Cox
has absolutely refused to lallow any
one to witness his training and is play
ing the dark horse act. He may be a
wonder, or he may be a dub Brown
has demonstrated class and it will re-
quire a good man to beat him.
Kid Barry and Joe Smith are to open
with a scheduled siX-round bout. Smith
is clever and Barry courageous.
All in all, the program is an at.
tractive one.

AUTO PARADE To
OCCUR SATURDAY
Electric Effect in Connection with the
Show Will Be an Attractive
Feature of the Initial
Display

Automobile dealers and enthusiasts
generally are living in hope that the
weather man lapses into fairly good
humor by Saturday evening, as the
much talked auto parade is scheduled
ITO occur.
Preparations have been made to form
the procession at Seventh and Olive
streets and over 200 hundred machines
will participate in the pageant. The
emily passed and should any rough
tactics be used by observers police in
reference will promptly be noticeable.
In the van will be a band seated in
one of the large three cushioned Christ
man cars, with electrical effects and
floral decorations in evidence.
1t has not been deemed advisable to
use exhibition machines in the parade
as considerable trouble has been ex-
perienced in fitting the cars to their
proper places at Morleys Grand avenue
skating rink.
Some anxiety was in order Monday
and Tuesday when several exhibits did
not arrive according to schedule and
dealers We're harassed by the delay.
Despite the rain of yesterday cars were
carefully steered to the show rooms
and shorn of the mud collected en-
route.
An electrical display in connection
with the show is calculated to prove
one of the most attractive features and
the lighting effect will probably be one
OF the most striking ever arranged in
the west.
Practically every agency in the city
Will have representative manufactory
outputs on exhibition and those con-
templating a purchase will be able tC
make effective comparisons.

JEFFR|ES TELLS
HIS PHILOSOPHY
GREAT RINGSTER Is AN HON
EST MAN
Attel and Baker Meet Tonight at Maud
junction Pavilion for Feather
weight Championship of
the World

1t is seldom that Jim Jeffres will
talk about anything, much less abou,
himself; yesterday was one of the few
days that Jim opened up. He is a
philosopher, Jim Jeffries, and despite
his calling represents as virile type
of manhood as ever lived. He makes
no pretensions of being classed as a
society man." but nevertheless a few
more such and the world would be a
better one.
Jim had come to Tom McCarey's Of
flee for the purpose of meeting Abe
Attell and Harry Baker, the two great
little featherweights who meet this
evening at Maud Junction pavilion.
Neither Abe nor Harry showed up.
1t rained torrents during the after
noon and evidently the boys decided
not to leave their camps. Probably it
was the mean out-of-door weather and
warmth of the inside that caused Jeff
to tell few things which under ordi-
nary circumstances he would have re-
Trained from.
He is a strange fellow, Jim Jeffries,
strange in many different ways. For
the first time in his life he told of how
he wagered $4,000 against himself when
entering the ring with Bob Fitzsim-
mons, What he did to Fitz is history,
but probably three beside himself ever
realized that he deliberately bet on the
great Cornishman. In a single SEN
tence Jeff declared yesterday what he
held to be the essence of life and sWore
that he cared what no man thought of
him so long as he lived to his prin-
ciples.

Jeff's Philosophy


my father told me years ago." said
Jeff, "to determine what was right and
then go ahead. l have followed his ad-
vice to a dot and never found myself
in the wrong"
The conversation had turned to his
decision following the O'Rrien- Burns
battle and Jeff was declaring why he
gave the decision.
II would have been glad to give that
decision to Burns, and knew that 1
could have made a popular verdict.
You know what ] mean, Burns is a
fighter and that's what / like. He went
after O'Brien and wanted to mix. Well
you know me; that's the way I've
always tried to fight. But listen:
Tommy butted O'Brien time and again.
That cut over OBrien's forehead was
due to Burns butting with his head.
Now, do you think | could give him
the decision when he acted like that?
"O'Brien was a beaten man, and
Tommy fOuled him, / could have
stopped the fight then and there, but
they had told me they didn't want any
hairline decision. If Tommy couldn't
best O'Rrien after he was all but out,
what right die he have to the decision?
81 have been accused of wanting to
save the OBrien money. Well, let me
tell you something. Practically every
friend ! had-I mean real friends;
friends that made me realize what
was years ago-Why, all of them had
bets on Burns"
jeff named a list of Angelenos who
supported Burns.
Advises Attell
Don't tell me which way a lot of
that money went. l knew how my
friends were betting and 1 gave the de-
cision which did them no good They
lost money by it, but I'll do the same
again if l think / am right. The
greatest fault with all of us is that we
/ haven't the CUTS to do what we think
is right. If we had, every one would
| be better off.
Little Able Attell has complained to
me that everybody is against him.
know why they hoot Able down at the
! pavilion and / told him the other day
what he ought to do.
"Abe, l said you ought to cut out
! all this smartness. If the crowd Is
