GALAHAD Is,
RIVER FALLS s.

Such was the score of the crucial
game on the River Falls schedule.
One of the best teams that River
Falls ever turned out went down to
defeat before the fast work and
variegated attack of the Galahadites.
But let no one think that they were
outclassed, or that Galahad had a
runaway. Galahad won because of
better team work, better head work,
and better use of new foot ball.
River Falls lost because of poor
head work, and because they stuck
to old foot ball. At that, there is
very serious question whether Gala
had ought to have come out OF the
game with anything better than a
tie. 1t was great day for game,
and good crowd was on hand at
$50 p. m. when River Falls kicked
off. Galahad got the ball, went up
the field with a rush, and III two
minutes were over for touchdown,
kicking the goal, and the score was
6 to 0. River Falls was asleep, but
they woke up. For the next fifteen
minutes the crowd got their fill of
fast and furious foot ball, with Gal
ahad on the defensive, and then
River Falls got over for touch
down, kicked the goal, and the score
was tie. SO ended the first half.
The second opened with Galahad
kicking off. River Falls started
with a rush, and soon had the ball
on Galahad's Is yard line There
they lost it. Thirteen minutes after
play started, Galahad had the ball
on River Falls one yard line. Twice
they tried to go ahead and failed.
Again they tried, and again they
failed, but the umpire, from Hud-
son, saw River Falls off side, and it
was Galahad's ball, first down, one
half yard from the goal line. Again
they tried, and the field judge de-
clared that Galahad had hurdled
and should be penalized Is yards,
but the other officials refused to al
low the penalty. Another trial and
failure, and it was third down and
one-half yard to go, and it was then
or never for Galahad. Gathering all
their strength they drove into the
line, the man with the ball broke
through, over the goal line, straight
up, ran into the arms of Symes who
picked him up, threw him back over
the line, and downed him III the
field of play. 1t looked as though
it was River Falls ball, but the
referee ruled that the ball was dead
as soon as Sylnes grabbed the man,
because the forward progress of the
ball was stopped, and that it was a
touchdown. Perhaps he was right.
At any rate, that settled the game.
One more touchdown was made in
the darkness, and the game was
over. 1t was rather unfortunate
that after such an exhibition of de-
fensive work by River Falls under
the goal, three such decisions
should have been needed to give
Galahad their touchdown.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The election of William H. Taft
to succeed to the Presidency is an
achievement Of which the Republi-
can party may we'll feel proud. The
election of Mr.. Taft, who will be
supported by Republican Senate
and House of Representatives, sup
presses the fallacies of Organism
for another four years, and for this
the industrial and commercial inter-
ests of the country should be truly
thankful. Mr.. Bryan's plea for
votes proved unavailing, and he was
showed under, on Tuesday, deeper
than he was twelve years ago.
The result of the general election
held on Tuesday has amply justified
the predictions of the Journal,
ventured from time to time during
the campaign, concerning different
factors contributing to bring about
this result. The Democratic claim
that Bryan would carry Wisconsin
was not based upon any rational
analysis of political conditions, and
the same may be said concerning
the different parties entering into
the contest in other states.

William Howard Taft made re-
cord remarkable in the annals of the
Republican Party, carrying all but
sixteen states, many among those
claimed for Bryan by the Democrat
ic managers of the campaign. New
York City which has always been
hopelessly Democratic gave Taft a
majority of over 5000, the first Re-
publican victory in the history of
the city.
Speaker Joe Cannon was returned
to Congress by nearly 1000 MAORI
ty, more than the usual number.
In Minnesota Governor Johnson
was reelected on the Democratic
ticket for his third term, his MAORI
ty over Jacobson, the Republican
nominee, being about $4,000.
Lenroot's majority in this district
is nearly $4,000 over Konkel.
In Pierce County 1854 votes were
cast for Taft, Bryan receiving 987.
Davidson captured 2947 of the votes
for governor, Awkward 848. Dahl
received 28O5 votes for state treasur
er and Heslin 985. The other Off
GERS on the state ticket received
nearly the same vote as that cast
for the governorship. Irvine L. Len
root received 3O12 votes while Sill
yer Joe" received 882. For Assem-
bly, 2971 ballots were cast for Kay,
White receiving $40. Ali the officers
on the republican county ticket
were elected by votes somewhat in
excess of the presidential ballot.
The total number of ballots cast
in the city of River Falls numbered
434. Of those cast for the presiden-
cy Taft received 296; Bryan, los;
Chain, IA and Debs 9. The vote
for governor resulted in281 votes for
Davidson, 1913 for Awkward, 16 for
Cox and 7 for Brown. The vote for
the other state officers varied but
little from those cast for the next
governor. The Congressional con-
test resulted in 265 votes for Lenroot
and Ill votes for Konkel. Walter
C. Owen was given 257 votes for
State Senator and the vote on mem
Der of Assembly stood in the last
three wards 239 for Kay and lis
for White. In the LIST ward Chin
mock received 26 votes, Walker 7.

Wen throw to the winds our anxious fears,
Forget our sorrows, and dry our tears,
For our kindly host is crowned with years.
He is ninety years old, my friends, to-day,
Years of hard work and not much play.
SO his birthdays now we think, should be gay.
The respect of all friends and neighbors he's
earned
Lies lesson ofhonesty and kindness weulearn
ed;
Nor the poor from his door, seeking help, has
he spurned.
The wealth of our friend is not great to-day,
For Riches take wings and soon fly away;
But riches of mind and heart will stay.
Far better than wealth hath our friend, Mr.
Crown,
Better far also, than great fame or renown,
Or even than houses or lots in town.
He has that for which kings would give jewels
and gold,
Good health is this blessing, in which to grow
old,
Which is acknowledged by all to be wealth un-
told.
Now last, but not least, (you surely have guess
His good wife is spared him, of all blessings the
best,
May their old age be happy, and at last may
they rest,
With their weI-earned crowns in the land of
best
