REPUBLICAN SCANDAL.


That it is no new thing for a Repnb-
lican Congress to have scandal on its
hands will occur to every one. In
1902 there were charges made and ev-
idence produced that the same Hol-
land Electric Boat Company, that is
now under charges, was mixed up in
dubious transactions, and those emil
nent Republican statesmen, Lemuel
+. Quigg and Congressman LESSER,
were toasted over the fires of invesii-
CATION, but were white washed 10y q
considerate Congress At that time
Congressman Lessler said that he
would not trust but one of the Repub-
lican members of the Committee on
Naval Affairs, aud now Congressman
Lilley says that he has evidence
against five of them. The lobbyists
appears to be getting more and more
the upper hand of "Uncle Joe's boys"
whether he is getting old and less
alert than formerly, or because he is
now candidate for the Republican
nomination for President, perhaps the
future will disclose.

THE FIGHT FOR THE CON-
GRESSIONAL NOMINATION

The appearance of young Lloyd
Lowndesin the SixthCongressonalD Dis
trict race, rather mixes up the situation
for cur Republican friends. Naturally
when the nomination is equivalent to
an election, there are always many as
pirants, but in the present instance
1t is thought by the wise ones that
Pearre has the Organization with him,
but we understood that the powers
that be around here have been put 10
their extreme wits end to play twee-
de-dum and tweedle-dee. with the
situation, and be like the recresnt
lover-"how happy l could be with
either, were the other dear charmer
away" But it is also said that
Warner, being well to do man, will
insist upon getting the square deal,
and is out for the prize in earnest.
Hagner is not likely to do more than
get the vote Of his own county at the
first ballot, and then will come the
real test. Lowndes and Pearre will
have it hot and heavy. and there is
real, bad blood between them. Pearre
has Wellington back of him, which
may cause independent complications,
whilst Lowndes is assisted in his cam
paisn by Benjamin A. Richmond,
the well known lawyer.
The situstionis to say the least, q
trifle mixed, and it seems to be good
time for real, live candidate on the
Democratic side to enter the lists and
make big fight. We have not had
one in recent years, and it looks as il
the proper man could win. Pearre is
working the game of Congressman
over time, and if I've gets the nonina-
ton il ought to tie easy to defeat him.

asserts is mainly due to Mr.. Roosevelt
fiIching democratic policies" d.
cIsres that we are now Indebted to
President Roosevelt for:
"Private confidence and credit shat

freight cars and empty pay envelopes;
railroad employees and industrial
workers laid off by the hundreds Of
thousands; disaster made thoroughly
Rep iblican; the Constitution kicked
to one side, like a broken freddy

adventure; currency reform ma
cbieved; civil service reform made a

The Sun might have added that
the trusts have been fined but no trust
magnate, however, guilty, is yet in

great wealth, is at large and is said
to be again likely to be delegate to

Lowndes and Pearre.
There are five counties in the
Sixth District = Garrett. Allie

has a greater or less following
in each of them. Mr.. Lowndes'
strength is chiefly in his own
county of Alleganey. There

snatching away the county or.

small majority, after a bitter
fight, that had the effect of de

so chooses. are Mr.. Lowndes'
chief political assets. earre

Say, If any of you sporty gents
heard a loud rumbling noise around
this part of the planet yesterday, don't
get scared and ask your mother, wife
or sister to get your overcoat out of
the moth-bag again Let st rest there.
That noise had nothing in common
with the elements. 1t didn't denote the
return of winter. nor did it indicate a
cyclone. 1t was nothing but Tommy
Burns throwing down a bundle of
in the National Sporting Club
in London. The bundle was a heavy
one. and contained $1,000. Shouldn't
that be enough to make the earth
tremble? Just think of Burns sepa-
rating himself from $1,000 long enough
to get an airingl And just think again
of Burns throwing this So, 1000 down to
Jack Johnson to meet him. II

man Mike Tully stands at the -Four

day to explain the cause. Burns needs
medical attention right away. He must
surely need a guardian to save him
from his extravagances. The idea of
his unbelting to the tune of 5000, eve
for a second, knocks my dope-book on
him sky high, and higher thar that.
Can This BE True:
We are informed, through the aid of
the long-distance cablephone, that
Johnson has 5000 deposited with
this same London club. 1 can believe
that, for, without Johnson showing
some of the real green stuff, how can

blame him for that. Wouldn't roast
him If he wanted the whole shooting
match. If he could only get away with
it.. But doesn't it look as if Burns was
trying to prevent a match between
him and Johnson. Suppose he gets the
$50, 900 on the conditions named by him,
where does Johnson get off in the deal?
The $1,000 is only a side bet. Now, If
Burns should beat Johnson, what
would there be in the fight for him?
That 100000 is a big sum-, even in this

the fastest rollers in the vicinity

the favorite to win. Others in the race
were Gus Anthony and L. e. Darling,
of Newark, N. J.; Eddie Burke, of
Brooklyn, and Harry Kelley, of New
York. From the start the race laid be-
tween Blackburn and Golding, although
for a time it looked as though McDon-
aid and Burke would have a show.
Blackburn led for half the distance,
when Golding shot to the front and
never was in danger thereafter. He ne
gotiated the turns in fine style, and on
the straight outskated the speedy
Blackburn. Mcdonald gave his admir-
ers some encouragement during the first
mile by hugging close to the leaders,
but the pace was too fast, and the best
he could do was to finish third. An
thony was fourth.
