The city and town elections in Yer
mont March Sd brought out a strong
vote, the especial interest in all sec
lions centering in the license vote. In
the state as a whole, no-license made
decided gain. In the cities the no.
license party may be said to have Sc
cured victory. for while one city, Bur
lingtou, swung from no-license to Ii
cense, two others, Barre and st. Adams
changed from license to no-license.
Rutland sustained her license position
of year ago by somewhat stronger
vote and Vergennes and Montpelier
continued to be reckoned among the no
license towns. In Essex county there
was but one change, the town of
Brighton turning from Eyes" to mo-"
In Washington county but one town
went for license, the town of Middle

The reports that Aroostook county
had received serious set back because
of the partial failure CT the potato crop
do not appear to be well founded. A
travelling man recently from the Gar
den of Maine says that while some Of
the farmers have met with losses the
county as whole is prosperous, and
there can be no question but that it
will continue to prosper. With an area
nearly as large as the State of Massa-
chusetts, vast primeval forests and
thousands of acres of virgin soil await
ing cultivation, Aroostook is assured a
b0unteous future.

The proposition to place young and
in expe rienced man in the office of
Clerk of Courts for Washington Coun-
ty will hardly meet with favor from
bench or bar or from the voters of that
county. The position is an important
one, calling for qualifications not pos
sessed by everyone, and Mr.. 2. H
Longfellow, who possesses these quail
ifications and who has held that Office for
many years, is known as one of the
most competent, faithful and courteous
officials in the State. Under his super
vision the county building similar, in
style to the Waldo County Courthouse,
has been made fire proof and otherwise
improved, so that it is regarded today
as model building of the kind. As
Clerk of Courts for Washington county,
Mr.. Longfellow is the right man in
the right place.

backing Attell around the ring and
landed frequent heavy swings TO the
jaw and stomach that shook the cham
pion severely.
Wolgast took a world of punishment
without fiinching and never took a
backward step. He was strong at the
finish, although he bled from the face
from the second round. Attell fought
lazily and entirely on the defensive.
and seemed to show little of his old
time speed and cIeverness except in a
few short rallies.
In these rallies Wolgast fought Attel
to standstiu and often forced the
champion to break away from the
clinches by his fusillade of blows to
the body. Wolgast showed wonderful
blocking ability and took most of At
tells straight jabs on his gloves.
The men weighed in at o'clock at
122 pounds. Charley Eyton was referee.
The general opinion was that Attell
did not half try to do his best and he
was roundly hooted for his showing on
leaving the ring. The crowd was 1000.

Frank Chance May Quit
Organized Baseball

astonishing statement made by Frank
Chance. leader of the champion Chi
cago Cubs, here today.
You see, there has been friction be-
tween Murphy and myself for quite a
while" he said. All of this had its
origin in disputes over the manage
ment OF the Cubs last season. Unless
I am left in absolute control shall
quit organized baseball for good. The
whole matter is OF very little moment
to me anyway.
You see, have closed a deal where

figure that with an investment of $780,
600 the farm viii give me yearly
income of $4,000. That looks a great
deal better to me than wrangling with
managers and baseball players"
Chance almost insists he is about to
leave the baseball armament.
There IS a persistent and well at-
thenticated rumor af1oat to the effect
that during the last two days a deal
has been contaminated whereby Chance
is to take out a block of stock and
controlling interest in the Angels, as
the local champion team is known.

Legislators Against Racing
in Washington

TACOMA, Dec. 11.-An organized
fight will be made before the 1egisla-
ture, which meets in January. to have
horse racing and ra6 otrack betting
abolished in this state. Senator Paul
hamus, one of the leaders OF the upper
house, is advocating the passage of
such a law. So is Ole Hanson, a prom
inent Scandinavian member Of the low
er house, who announces that his chief
ambition for years has been to help
pass such a law at Olympia. Many in
fluential papers advocate the abolition
of racing and betting. In scathing
editorial the Seattle Observation-Disclosures
today attacked racing at The Meadows,
near Seattle, on moral grounds Gov
ernor- elect Cosgrove and Lieutenant
pose racing.
The Meadows racetrack was estab-
liShed by former Senator Van de Vanter,
for years one Of the leaders of the leg
islature, who was killed by an automo-
bile in September of last year.
1t is expected that the friends of rae
ing will try to prevent the passage
of the proposed law in the state senate.
The managers of The Meadows are
prominent and popular throughout the
state. They include George w. Dickin-
son. president of the association and
former general manager of the western
end of the Northern Pacific railway.
and General Manager James T. NOEL

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Senor "A. Ter

from Europe today on the steamship

They were met at the Waldorf-As-

of whom are interested in the project
of establishing racecourses in old

When Thomas H. Williams president
of the New California jockey club, came
east he conferred with a number of
horsemen and capitalists on the sub
ject. Williams himself recently made
a trip to Mexico.
It is understood that President Diaz
of the Mexican republic is very much
interested in the racing prospect for
that country. and that already steps
have been taken to put the turf COM
pletely under government control in
Mexico, which will prevent any inter

that could only work harm to the turf
interest in that country.
The Mexican racing project has been
thoroughly studied and considered by
some of the leading horsemen in the
east and the indications are that racing
will be established there on a firm
basis, if not next year at least in 1910
