A Reply to MIR. Bugbee

Mr. Editor: In your last issue you
publish an article from the pen of Mr.
Frank +. Bugbee, in which he COM
plains that the various candidates in
Lyon county are ION the fence politi-
cally, and asks them to come down on
one side or the other, before the election,
so that the people may know how to
vote.
With your permission will undertake
to enlighten Mr. Bugbee as to where
some of the candidates stand.
1t does not require an experienced
eye to see that it evidently has never
occurred to Mr.. Bugbee that such a COM
plant amounts to confession of gross
neglect upon the part of himself ard
other voters, not only in the exercise of
their privileges of citizenship, but to at
tend to one of the very first and most
important duties of citizen.
If Mr. Bugbee has an idea, principle,
policy, or measure, which he would like
to see adopted by County, State or Ma
tional government, he has the right to
advocate the same; he has the right to
organize those who believe as he does,
into party for the purpose of promoting
such measure; he has the right to nomi-
nate candidates for the various Offices,
who are known to favor such measures,
and he NAV even throw such restrictions
around his candidates as will compel
them, if elected, to support such meas
ures or forfeit their Office.
Have you made any attempt to do this
Mr.. Bugbee2
If not, do YOU really think you have
any right to complain if our home
made candidates fail or refuse to
come off the fence?"
Most of these candidates have nomi-
mated themselves and are footing their
own campaign expenses and no doubt
consider themselves under no obligation
to you, Mr. Bugbee, or any one else, to
say who or what they stand for, only so
far as necessary, in order to get your
vote, and it does not appear that it is
necessary to go very far to catch the
average voter, Mr.. Bugbee.
But to the experienced eye of the
observer, the watchful man who hangs
around on the street to make sure he
does not overlook anything" it would
appear that our home made" candi-
dates are representing the whisky and
tobacco trusts at least the only argu-
ments | have seen or heard them adj
vance, in our precinct, as reason we
should vote for them, is drink of bad
booze or worse cigar would you have
change, Mr. Bugbee'
If you would like change, do you
think you will ever get it by simply sit
ting down and folding your hands and
supinely waiting for these fellows to
make the change for you?
If you do, l would suggest that you
begin to exercise your patience you will
be a long time waiting.

A hungry man recently asked the fol
lowing question: What is a man To do

God knows he has my sympathy.
Mr.. Bryan answered, II is a question
which must be approached with due de-

he might be expected to conclude his
deliberations; in the meantime the man
continues to starve. Mr.. Debs answered,
Il would give The unemployed work

end that no man. woman or child need
starve, and this disgraceful state OF at
fairs be ended. -
Do you see anything definite in either
of these replies, Mr. Bugbee.
The basic principles of socialism IS
that the people should collectively own
and Economically control all public
utilities and natural resources which the
public must necessarily use, aud that
labor produces all wealth and that
wealth should belong to the one who
produces it. With these principles IN
view we are ready to take advantage OF

have had you all divided up.
But really, Mr. Bugbee, can YOU con

oversight?
As one of the candidates, I wish to
assert that there is not single candi-
date ON the fence" this year, Mr..
Bugbee disguise it as YOU will, the fact
remains that the only real issue in this
campaign is that between capital and
labor, and this being the case, the lines
are clearly drawn.

Mr. Bryan and his associates. are clearly

.GOTCH BROKE
HACKS HEAR
Russian Lion Quit After Two
Hours of Strenuous
Work.

DEXTER PAVILION (Chicago),
April George Hackensehmidt, in his
match with Frank Goteh for the catch
as-catch-ean wrestling championship OF
the world tonight, gave up the title to
the Iowa man by default.
After more than two hours of I'M
availing Juggling and desperate scram
bling the Russian said to Gotch: - III
give You the match.
Referee Ed Smith at once declared
Gotch the winner.
The end came so unexpectedly that
the great crowd of 5000 which witness
ed the contest could scarcely compre-
bend what had happened. Not until
the referee had announced that Hack
enschmidt had surrendered the cham
pionship of the world to Frank Goteh
did the full significance of the event
strike. home. Spectators surged into
the ring and crowded on Gotch until
the police came to his rescue and drove
the crowd back through the ropes.
The match was in some respects SEN
sational, but it served to show that
Gotch has a defensive system which no
one can break down.
For an hour and forty-fve minutes
he eluded every attempt of the Russian
lion to fasten a grin on him. Gotch
side-stepped, roughed his mans fea-
lures with his knuckles, >butted him and
generally worried Hackensehmidt until
the foreigner was at loss to know how
to proceed. But in the clinch that
finally came Goteh slammed his oppo-
nent to the mat and came within an ace
of scoring firm toe hold, following this
up by lifting Hackenschmidt clear of
the mat and slamming him on his shout
ders with terrific force. The European
opponent was heartbroken. The lines
slowly deepened on his face, the boots
and gibes of the crowd hurt his feel
ings, and after considering the matter
for few seconds he decided it was
time to quit.
Few of the spectators but were will
ing to give Gotch the palm. The Iowa
farmer was in the better condition, was
quicker and triekier. and showed far
better knowledge of the game.

will sail at once. Moreover, 1t is not
with the kindest feelings toward this
country that the Russian wrestler will
return home.
"Over here in America they don't
even consider themselves gentlemen"
he remarked sadly as ne quilted the
Auditorium.
"Hackenschmidt is of the conviction
that Gotch was oiled in some way when
he first touched him. said one of his
party. He told us before starting that
the moment he placed his hands on
Gotch's wrists he felt how slippery
they were. He thinks that Gotch was
massaged with vaseline or oil until 1t
was worked we'll into the skin and that
when he started perspiring it worked
out"
Gotch laughed at the idea that he
was oiled and said that he purposely
did little or no training FOR several
days to develop the excessive perspira-
ton he showed in the ring. This, he
said, made him slippery.

LOCAL DOGS

Mona Wins Coveted
Championship.

The Kalihi Kennels received good
news by the steamer yesterday. 1t was
to the effect that 4tter brother to
their bull terrier bitch Silkwood Mona.
had won a coveted prize at Los An
geles.
The following extracts from Coast
papers tell the story:
Police Judge Edward P. Shortall re-
turned to his duties on, the bench yes
terday from Los Angeles, where he en-
tered his famous bull terrier, Silkwood
Ben Ali, in the bench show of the
Southwestern Kennel Club. Judge
Shortal brings back the coveted prize
of dog fanciers, the Cafe Bristol cup
for the best Pacific Coast bred dog.
In addition to that honor, Ben Ali
won the cup for the best bull terrier
in the show.
Judge E. B. Shortall of San Francisco
acknowledged he cast aside all business
to exhibit his dog, Silkwood Ben Ali,
a classy dog, bred by John I. Sparrow
Many months ago Los Angeles man
had boosted in San Francisco that his
dog, Brooklyn Patsie, could beat any
bull terrier on the coast. This raised
the Judges sporting spirit and when
he heard Brooklyn Patsie was entered
in this show he also entered his dog.
His disappointment was keen when he
found that Patsie was not entered, but
was somewhat consoled when his dog
received the cup offered for the best
Pacific coast dog or bitch of any breed.
Last evening was society night at the
show, as all the special prizes We're
awarded, and the winning dogs were
showered with bouquets by feminine
admirers. Especially did Silkwood Ben
Ali come in for favor and the flowers
thrown at him were enough to satisfy
the most fastidious prima donna.
At the Los Angeles show John Brad
shaw, who judged the last local show,
won the Championship challenge cup
for the best dog or bitch in the show,
with his Boston terrier Sabine Ringer
Six hundred dollars was offered for
Silkwood Ben Ali after the show but
was declined.

HACK WANTS
NO RETURN

CHICAGO, April 6.-Frank Gotch
came out of his contest with George
Hackenschmidt in fine shape. He felt
no i'll effects from the match and is
ready TO wrestle the Russian Lion
again. The new champion has re-
eeived several offers to go on the stage,
but the life on his farm in Iowa is
more to his liking. He may star"
but just now he has no notion of APP
pearing on the stage.
Hackenschmidt looked as if he had
been in a prizefight Instead of a wres-
Ting match. The left side of his head
is badly swollen and his left eye is
inflamed. His eyelids are swollen and
lacerated He said this was done by
Gotch's thumb. As TO plans while in
America, Hackenschmidt said today he
was undecided on what he would do.
Speaking of the new champion:
There is no man in all England who
has a chance with your man Gotch.
He is king of his class, the greatest
man by far that I ever have met. After
going nearly two hours with him, my
muscles became stale. Ny feet also
