GOOD GOVERNMENT
LEAGUE WILL ACT
With Plank Opposing Racetrack
Gambling, 1t Seeks Place.
on Ballot
Superior Judge Dunno the Only
Candidate Selected Up to
Present Time

Without having selected any candi-
date except Superior Judge Frank HI.
Dunno and on a platform which con-
tains the single plank of opposition to
racetrack gambling, the good govern
ment league has started to gather
names to petition for a place on the
ballot in November.
The executive committee of the
league has not yet determined how
many nominees to put in the field.
Some days ago it decided that a judicial
ticket should be nominated, with Judge
Dunno at its head. Whether legisla-
tive candidates will be selected depends
a great deal on the sort of men chosen
by the republican and democratic con-
ventions.
If the leaders of the good govern
ment league judge that the legislative
nominees of both parties are unworthy
of election, they will in all probability
choose candidates of their own. In
some instances they may indorse the
candidates of one or the other of the
two regular parties. A plan of action
will be discussed at the meeting of the
executive committee to be held Thurs
day.

Until one asoends upward OF 15.000

Of a mountain climber.
The strain Is first upon the muscular

portantiy the circulatory. respiratory
and nervous mechanisms.
In some persons the heart feels the
tax most; In others the y sys-
tenn Is chiefly affected. Paipitation and
mountain sickness the latter In all
probability a neurosis. are the two
chief difficulties that besek the average
mountain climber. With some the re
spiratory organs virtually collapse, pro
ductng an almost ~suffocation.
Weak hearts are fatal to the ambi-
tons Of the would be mountain climb
er. The heart must be not only struc-
turally sound, but well exercised and
in good condition, or the strain tells
quickly. If one has not nerves of
steel they go to pieces once the 49,
600 foot mark Is passed. The rarehed
atmosphere plays havoc with weak
lungs even earlier.
Bleeding from the lose and ears Is
not i~nfrequent though far less prev
alent than the reports of early explor-
ers would indicate 1t was experienced
in their day. A partial ~suffocation Is
more often encountered.
So mountain climbing is no work for
a weakting. Miss Peck. however, ex-
perienced mona of these troubles. She
has been mountain climbing nearly
twenty years. The M~atterhorn, pride
Of the Alps, was among her first con-
quests. Five years ago she scaled the
