Do the voters realize fully tha
this is their year, politically
speaking. The new primary elec-
ton law makes it possible for the
people to nominatescandidates as
well as elect them this year. In
the years gone by the political
machines and politicians nomi-
mated and the people were left to
elect such candidates as the ma
chine saw fit to name for them.
This year it is different. The peo-
pie will nominate the men whom
they think best. From the "indi-
cations, - Judged under old con-
ditions, it would look as though
Governor Folk, who spoke here
last Saturday would not be in the
running with Senator Stone, as a
candidate for United States Sena-
tor. But new signes will have to
be learned. New indications dis
covered. 1t is a well known fact
that politicians and machine
bosses know better how to get
unto the limelight Of publicity and
to make great noise than do the
people. But the noise is only the
roaring Of the captains and leu
tenants and their roarings and
thuuderinss will count for naught
this year. There will be no con-
ventions. No delegates for bosses
to dictate. No handy committee
or credentials to unseat delegates
enough TO make the will OF the
bosses supreme. The people will
march up to the polls silently,
register their choice by their bal
lots, and the man who has the
confidence of the people, who
they think stands for the right,
and not the man who is "smart,
but tricky" will get the greatest
mum Der OF votes and will be the
nominee OF his party. Judging
by the roarings and laundering OF
the democratic captains and lieu
tenants in this county you would
be led to think Governor Folk was
not held in very high esteem here
and that Senator Stone was sure
of majority of the votes next
November, but it is only the roar

Denmark the Sole Foundation

Denmark the Sole Foundation.
At the annual meeting of the
American Saddle Horse Breeders
Association, held recently, it was
resolved that Denmark be recorded
as the sole found alton of the breed
of American saddle horses. This
conclusion was arrived at by
reason of the fact that out of
2,t63 entries in the first two VOL
umes of the register, 1903, or
more than 81 per cent were di-
rectly traceable in the male line to
Old Denmark. The next in
standing was CabelPs Lexington +,
with 1l9 representatives, or only
Sd per cent. The heretofore re-
corded foundation sires were as
signed dead sire numbers, and
Denmark, the thoroughbred, by
Imp. Hedgeford, dam Betse
Harrison, receives all the glory,
and thirteen others, heretofore re-
garded as foundation sires, are
practically reduced to simple
members of the saddle horse
family. It appears, however, that
| Old Denmark himself shines in
the reflected light of his three
sons, who were all sires of saddle
gated colts. Gaines Denmark
No. 81, foaled in 1851, however,
was the sire of nine-tenths of the
recorded Denmark saddle horses.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Malcolm Ma

a newcomer In athletics, established
new worlds amateur running record
for the full Marathon distance of %
miles 1886 yards in a race from Rye, on
the sound, to Columbus circle, this
city, today.
Maloney ran away from a field Of ll5
contestants, finishing in fairly good
condition. His time, 2 hours 30 minutes
26 1-5 seconds is far ahead OF all pre-
vious amateur records. j.. +. crowley

Today's race was under the sane-

from start to finish.
A comparison of Maloney's time to-
day and that of Dorando and Tom
Longboat in their professional rare

The course today was carefully

as to the Maloney record being made

ATHLETIC CLUB NINE
10 PLAY AT REDONDO
MARATHON RUNNERS GETTING
DOWN TO WORK
New Name Added to Already Large
List of New Years Day Contest
ants in Great Classic
Event

A crack nine from the Los Angeles
Athletic club will go to Redondo TINS
afternoon to take on the Redondo
players. The athletic club men are
confident of a sure victory over the
seaside men. The club team has been
strengthened by the arrival Friday of
Ben Myran, who will probably pitch
part of the time.
Myran has been absent for over a
year and a half and has been engaged
in mining in Old Mexico. He returned
to Los Angeles in time to spend
Christmas with his family He will
probably remain some weeks before
returning to look after his mining IN
terests.
The Athletic club nine will line up
as follows: Goodwin, shortstop; Guern-
sey and Myran, pitchers; Habgood,
second base; Watson, catcher; BROOKS,
center field; Heinzeman, third base;
Howard, left field; Welton, right field;
Galley, first base.
Marathon runners are now getting
down to hard training as the time
draws near for the big endurance con-
test which will be the second race OF
it's kind to be held on this coast. Near
" every day few of the contestants
can be seen pacing one another along
the weary way that leads to Venice
and over which the coming race will
be run. w. Stanley and Paul Rein
valid spent part of their Christmas
going over the course. They did not
make any attempt at a record and COW
cred the distance in two hours and
fifteen minutes.
Many members of the club who have
automobiles have offered the service
of their machines for the day of the
Marathon and these will be placed at
the service of the judges, timers and
other officials and assistants.
Frank Musante of Fruitland sent in
his application and entrance fee yes
terday and raised the number of con-
testants to twenty-four. Musante is
a runner of some experience and will
probably make a good showing on
New Years day.
Perhaps no more important or epoch
making event in amateur athletics has
ever been pulled off on this coast than
the Marathon race of the Los Angeles
Athletic club. Since the attention of
the world was so forcibly called to
the great Marathon race df the recent
international contest in England, won
by an American boy, nearly every ath-
letic association In the United States
has Incorporated such contest in its
list of athletic events, and the Mara
thon, revival Of the days of Greek
runners, has come to stay. Enthu-
siasm for the new event is everywhere
manifest.
Last years Marathon race, run I'M
der the auspices of the Athletic club,
was a great success. This year the
entry list is opened to everyone and
the records will be official for the
whole United States. The large num-
Der of well known runners who are
earnestly engaged in training for the
coming event is sufficient evidence of
the importance attached to the event.

Some idea Of the proportions assumed by the
levying Of special taxes on automobiles is af-
forded by an examination of figures made pub
lie in connection with receipts from the wheel
tax in the city Of Chicago. Fer 1908 this tax
exceeded that Of 1907 by at least 100 per cent,
the enormous sum Of 900 being available
for the use of the street department. 1t is
the department to place in prime condition 240
miles of roadway. 1t is small wonder that
municipal and state officers like the working
of measures based on the collection of stated
sum on each vehicle for the great increase in
the number of automobiles is undoubtedly
largely responsible for this 100 per cent in
crease in the amount collected

clare that he ran the distance in bet
ter than the official time.
Good Thing Goes Over
Black Mate, held at as good as to 1,
was the medium of a neat coup by
others than the stable connections. and
showed improved form sufficient TO
beat Pretension, the favorite, all the
way. With only a feather on his back,
he ran over the leaders in the first
quarter and soon established Win
ming lead. Thereafter he was romp-
ing, while Pretension was running
kindly and desperately, but without
being able to close the gap between
them. Black Mate went under the wire
two lengths in front of Pretension,
which was firing fast and was lucky
to nose out King of the Mist for the
place.
San Nicholas and Bemay had a stiff
argument for half a mile in the sec
cnd race, when the latter began to tire,
and San Nicholas went to the front,
never to be headed. He had length
advantage over Bavaria, which beat
Bemay for the place by three lengths.
Animus showed that he Is back in
his best eastern form when he gal
loped one and three-sixteenths miles
at the head of the procession in the
fifth race to win by a margin of near
ly three lengths in new track record
time Goldway was faVor1te, but never
could furnish serious contention, oW-
ing to a miserable effort by Schilling.
ST. IIario pumped himself out chasing
Animus and could not stall off Gold
way when the latter made a squirt In
the final jumps to get the place by
half a length. Animus stepped the dis
lance in 1858 is, which is new coast
record.
Mollie Montrose, which beat Notasul-
ga and other cracks at New Orleans
two years ago and was touted last
year as one of the classiest and speedi-
est FLIES in the juvenile ranks, made
her first local start in the last race
and, owing to the fact that she had
not been to the races in long time
and there was no definite form about
her the bookies laid and 8 to /
against her chances. Escalante
opened as favorite, but sighting sup
port caused his price to drift to As.
while an unexplained plunge on Ale
viator sent the odds on that one down
to S. Mo1lie broke in sixth place, but
rushed out in front with a sensational
burst of speed that caused the grand
stand crowds to gasp. She was -four
lengths in the lead at the quarter, but
the dazzling sprint caused her to tire
and she lasted barely long enough to
win by a head from Escalante. which
ran hfs usual game and consistent race
end beat Amigo three lengths for the
place.

NATIONAL RACE. IN JUNE

The aeronautic race event of 1909 is
likely to be a national race in June,
probably starting from st. Louis. 1t
Will be conducted under the auspices OF
the Aero club of America, and eligible
ity will be confined to balloons owned
in the United States.
Balloons which make good records IN
this race will be given first consid-
Grafton as entries from this country IN
the Gordon Bennett international race
In England. Entries will also be con-
sidered as competitors for the Iahm
cup.
Los Angeles is quite likely to have
an entry in the race. 1t is possible
that Roy Knabenshue may take one OF
Dick Ferris balloons, possibly the
limited States
