SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT
BY FORMER ASSOCIATES
Many Prominent Men of international
Falls Express High Opinion of
Judge C. W. Stanton.

There is probably no better way
to find out the real character of a
man than to hear what is said OF
him by his neighbors and those
closely associated with him for a
period of years. Judge Stanton re.
sided ard practiced law at Interna.
tional Falls for four years just pre-.
ceeding his appointment as Judge.
Without solicitation on the Judges
part, the people of that village, ir-
respective of party, have united in
giving the subjoined endorsement of
his candidacy. The list of signers
includes EVERY LAWYER,
EVERY PROFESSIONAL MAN,
EVERY COUNTY OFFICER,
EVERY VILLAGE OFFICER,
EVERY MERCHANT, besides
every other man to whom the en-.
dorsement was presented.
The following is the endorsement
of Judge Stanton, as signed by his
former neighbors, fellow townsmen
and professional associates.
THE undersigned, voters of Koo.
chiching county, while affirming our
continued allegiance to the princi.
pies and candidates of our respec-
tive political parties, in all cases
where political principles are invol.
we'd, are nevertheless in favor of a
non-partisan judiciary. We believe
that satisfactory judge should not
be retired from office from political
considerations alone. So believing,
we favor the retention in office Of
Hon. C. w. Stanton, who is a non
partisan candidate to succeed him
self, and who under our election law
cannot be the candidate of both
parties. He has fully met the ex'
pectations of those who strongly
commended his appointment at the
time it was made, and has proven
himself to be an able, fearless and
| righteous Judge. We deem it fit and
proper that we thus publicly urge all
voters, irrespective of party, to sup
port him at the ensuing election.

Battins and FIeIsIss Fan on With Av- erares sHfi Net Baa--Persons Lead Team In BattlBs--Lost Five of
 seven Games rlsyed.

 Of the seven games, five were shut outs. Guese beating Memphis 5 to and Thvmas beating Mobile to Q. BLISS lost that tweive-inning game in New Orleans by score of i to Q. Van Anda, with Charlie Shields against him. was shut out by Memphis to Q; Blliy Crlstal lost six-inning game that would have been won with glngery sup port by score of to O.
 The batting IS eleven points on from last week Persons still leads with fifty hits in fifty games. and is pat ting shade better iilan -S00, getting seven hits In the seven games last week. Hart Is second with ten hits in eleven games. four hits In his nve with twentysnine hits in thirty games, six hits last week. Ed Greminger had a decided slump in batting. getting four hits in the seven games. but this the responsibilities and worry he bad Tn having charge of the team during Ryan's absence
 Pope and Baxter lead the home runs with two each. Greminger has a couple of three7basgers and nine two-bag- gers.
 Persons leads the stolen bases with twenty-six, Pope, twelve, Baxter and Reagan ten each.
 Baxter leads the sacrifice hits with nine successful bunts; Persons, seven; Hassetts six Perry. Shapnon, Pope and Greninger, five each. IT they Keep up this fast inside game, the team can't help but win if tlse pitchers do any thing ike good work.
 The iieldfng during the last few games has not been what 1t should be. out the boHbardment of some of the pitchers affected the work of the in and outfeld.
 The most encouraging thing Is the way thu box staff Is shaping up. Thom- as seems to be as good as he was In April and that means that his superior Is not in this league. His control is splendid. not two bases on balls game, and nearly five strikeoUts, win ming five, tieIng one and losing one or his seven games. Billy Cristal is go- ing strong. About six hits d game have been made off him. three, bases on balls and three strikeouts game, several of his games having been lost by the team back of him. An average of eight hits a game have been made off Van Anda, but his control Is good, one base on balls and over three strike outs a game. If Whitney Guese can hold the mark he made last week, he will run Thomas race. Six hits were made off him. while he did not give base on balls and struck out three men The averages. including Saturdays game in Mobile, are:

The Western Railroad has already made or contemplate making in the near future improvements which will double the capacity of the plant. and will permit of doing a class of work hitherto impossible because of limited facilities.
 Already there has been constructed new building for the car department completely equipped with electric driven machinery. The connections were yesterday put in order and this section of the plant is now complete. In the near future, extensive improve ments will be made throughout the en- tire plant. The number of workmen employed in the shops will not pc materially altered. the doubled capacity being obtained by the improvements which will be introduced.
 The most striking effect Of the en- larged facilities of the Western shops lies in the new lines of manufacture made possible. Hitherto the freight cars of the company have been pur- chased in the North. but now 1t is pur- posed to build the cars needed in the Montgomery shops. The material re- quired for their construction will be purchased in Montgomery and the city

 Jul comes from the University of H. linois and was so good last year that Frank Chance wanted him for the Cubs. He was tied up some way with the Western LeAgue and the National Com mittee would not let him go with the Cubs. This year he was free, and Ryan got him in Chicago. where he has been pitching swell ball with the City League up there. As stated yesterday, Van Anda has been released Ateleast waivers were askd on ffm--and as none of the Southern League clubs has re- fused to waive on Hassett he will be given his release.

will thus acquire considerable reve- nue. Tn addition the railroad company will save the manufacturers profit. which previously they were compelled to pay in the purchase of their cars.
 Up to the present time Improvements have. been completed only in the car department, but plans adopted will modernize the, entire plant within short time In about two days the machine shops will be equipped with electric driven machinery. and as soon as arrangements can be conveniently made, the present steam battery boilers will be discarded and electric apparatus substituted.
 The magnitude of the improsenssssz which will shortly be completed Is dis ficult of realization. They constitute step far from insignificant in the City's progress Practically a new i'm dustry will be started. facilities, for repair work will be greatly augmented. and the capacity in all lines will be doubled. The saving to the company through the moderniZation of the plant will be understood when 1t is considered that without increasing the number or workmen the capacity of the plant Wall be greatly increased.

Fisher, settles the disputed title to first place in the recent field games of the young athletes of Montgomery The Secre- tary of the American organization gives young Howard Douglas first place.
 In the hurdle race at Vandiver, Park during the latter part or May, the con- testarts really decided the points of the different competing teams. Doug las ran q beautiful race, but was so unfortunate as to knock over two pr hishurdIes He nevertheless nnfsned first by a wide margin over Difly. The judges of the race assigned Douglass to last place, and gave first place to Difiy, who had taken all of his hurdles successfully.
 A rule of the American Athletic As- sociation was misinterpreted @by the judges. It Is rule that no hurdle can be knocked over in a race to break a record. Tn ordinary winning of an event, however, it Is simply enough to E1dkC dH abtSAiPL oS tho. judges having nothing to do. with the effort made in the attempt.
 The judges, therefore, saturday night redistributed the points, placing Douglass first. Dihiy second and strat- ford, third.

 Dear Friend Hanna@-I hope you VIII pardon me for not replying to your letter of May 31st sooner. as I have been in attendance at tbeNeoRfAxefa at Atlantic City for oversa week In reply to your two ~inquiriess Sef me say that the man in the hurdle race IR entitled to first place. notwithstan ing the fact that he knocked down two hurdles. If he made an attempt to jump over them, that is all that is nec- essary. The rule merely refers to record making and not to whining.
 Tn reference to points counting for relay race the matter is subject to the option of the Games Committee in charge. There is no regular rule gov erning the counting of points and after all, the counting of points is a matter entirely with the local committee. There Is usually an understdhding ias to the rules which shall govern point making before the games are run of
