SOCIALISTS QUIT THE FIGHT.
The Party in Cherokee County Quietly
Disbands.

Columbus, April 4.-"The Socialists
of Cherokee county will put out no
county ticket this year." says Doug
Scott, chairman of the comfy central
committee. They held a county con-
vention in Galena and so few were in
attendance that they decided to dis
band for the present.
Chairman Scott says they Will vote
the Republican state and national
tickets, but it is rather doubtful about
their vote in the county. This. we be-
lieve, will tend to change county affairs
In the coming election
When questioned as to the propriety
of disorganizing, Mr.. Scott said that
it seems that we Socialists can agree
on nothing Some of us want govern
nent ownership of all transportation
facilities; others would have govern
,nent ownership and control of all pub
lie utilities, while others hold to tina
communistic doctrine of holding every
thing in common. Thus are our opln-
ions so divided that there are not
enough men in agreement to be candi-
dates for office. The primary election
law is also death blow to our cause
No one wishes to go tc so much trouble
carrying petition about securing
signers for his friends when he knows
they can not be elected"

HACKENSCHAuDT QUITS.
The, Russian Lion Surrenders to Gotch
After a Two Hours Struggle.

Dexter Pavilion, Chicago, April A.
George Hackenschmidt, in his match
with Frank Gotch for the catch-as-
catcf1-can wrestling championship OF
the world, Friday night gave the title
to the Iowa man by default
Hacllenschmidt refused to explain his
action to w. w. Wittig, promoter of
the bout. simply shaking his head and
refusing to reply when asked why he
mad not surrendered merely the first
Iall and taken another chance with
Gotch. His handlers were at loss to
account for Hackenschmidt's actions.
AFTER more than two hours Of un-
avalilng tugging and desperate scram-
bling the Russian said to Gotch:
I'll give you the match" .s.-s
Rereree Ed Smith at once declared
Gotch the winner. The end came so
unexpectedly that the great crowd of
o'Ooo which witnessed the contest could
scarcel- comprehend what had happen
ed. Not until the referee had announc-
ed that Hackenschmidt had surrender
ed the champion of the world to Frank
Gotch did the full significance of the
event strike home. Then the excited
men swarmed into the ring, surging
anout Gotch until the police came to
ms rescue and drove the crowd back
through the ropes. The match was in
some respects sensational but it served
mainly to show that Gotch has a de-
fenslve system which no one can break
down.
For an hour and forty-five minutes
ne eluded every atetmpt of the Russian
lion to fasten a grip on him. Gotch
sidestepped, roughed his mans features
with mis- knuckles. butted him and gem
orally worried HGckenschmidt until the
foreigner was totally at a loss how to
proceed. but when In the clinch that
finally came Gotch slammed his oppon-
ent to the mat and came within an ace
or securing firm toehoid, following
this up by lifting Hackenschmidt clear
OF the mat and slamming him On his
shoulders with terrific force, the Eu-
ropean exponent was heartbroken. The
lines slowly deepened on his face, the
hoots and gibes Of the crowd hurt his
feelings and after considering the mat
ter for few seconds he decided 1T was
time to quit.
Few of the. spectators but were WILL
ing to give Gotch the palm. The Iowa
farmer was in the better condition, was
quicker and triekier and showed a far
better knowledge of the game.
