Jack Gleason. who is promoting the Ketchel-
Papke fight, announced last night that he had
made arrangements with the railroads to have
them run excursions to San Francisco for the
big fight.
1.-THE railroads have agreed to run excursion
trains from all points In the state where the
regular fare is not more than $40 and charge
only one and third times the amount OF the
regular fare for round trip ticket" said
Gleason. ~ now trying to get them TO
make this excursion rate apply TO the entire
state, and especially to Los Angeles, as l be-
lieye that with low rate prevailing quite
few fight fans would come up here from Los
Angeles to see Ketchel ans Papke in their re-
turn fight

Stanley Ketchel will not start to do any ac-
tive training until snext Monday, at which time
he will pitch camp over at Oroll's. The former
looks go for anything he Is certainly in fair
shape right now. The Michigander is looking
better than he looked before starting to
train for some OF the fights he had here. Asked
about his weight Ketchel declared that he
could not say what he weighed now, as he had
not been a scale for long time. He does
not look as heavy now as he did when he started
to train for his last fight with joe Thomas.
Ketchel is great believer in skating n
conditioner and he is indulgng freely In this
form of pastme. The Michigander Is confident
that he will regain his lost laures from Papke
when he meets him again and he Is not worry

The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-08-06

The Republican candidate
strauck some sledge- hammer blows
in his discussion of the Democrat
ic platform. One of the hardest
was AIMED at Bryan's favorite Okla
homa scheme of having all bank
deposits guaranteed by the govern
ment. The proposition is to tax
the prudent and honest banker to
make up for the dishonesty and
inprudence of other said Mr.. Taft.
The final effect of the plan is thus
outlined: IF the proposal was
adopted exactly as the Democratic
platform suggests, it would bring
the whole banking system of the
country down to ruin, and this pro-
posal is in itself and excelle Mt i'll
ustration of the fitness for national
control of party which will COM
init its self to scheme of this ma
ture without the slightest sense of
responsibility for the practical
operation of the law proposed"
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-08-06
Mr.. Taft is a lawyer and has been

Mr.. Taft is lawyer and has been
Judge; naturally the so called in
junction plank of the Democratic
platform interests him. He de-
voted a considerable space to it
IN his speech of acceptance. and
demonstrated thoroughly it's dang
erous and demagogic character.
Speaking of the demand for trial
by jury before contempt of court is
punished, he saws "Thoes who adj
yocate their Intervention of jury
in such cases seem to suppose that
this change in some way will inure
only to the benifit of the poor work.
ing man. As matter of fact, the
person who will secure chief advan-
tages from it is the wealthy and
INSCRIPTIONS defendant, able to
enjoy astute and cunning counsel
and anxious to avoid Justice" Not
even this. however, bad as it is, is
the worst feature of the Democrat
