Owen Moran, the little English feather weight, getting tired of waiting for Abe Attell to give him return battle, has gone back home. He sailed on the Lusi- tania on Wednesday, and will in all prob- ability not come back to this country for seven or eight months, as he has seven weeks theatrical engagements on the other side. Moran intends to fight a few battles at the National Sporting club of London, and also in Paris after that.

It looks now as if the California fight clubs are not going to get the middle wegiht championship battle between Billy Paplse and Stanley Ketchel after all. Realizing that he can get more money out of a fight with Ketchel in Milwaukee than he could by battling with him at Colma, Cal, or one of the Frisco clubs, Billy Papke. has already signed articles of agreement calling for a 10-roufid bout with Ketchel in the big Hippodrome in Milwaukee on the night of May 25 Billy O'Connor, manager of Ketchel, is expect ed to ahx his signature to the articles in a few days. A bout between these great fighters in Milwaukee will easily draw a O00 gate.

Herewith VIC Give a Fact or Two
That May Mean Much TO Some Of You

other citizens are thinking little of
politics and much of prizes these days.
Many of the states most charming
as we'll as enterprising young ladies
have entered the contest already with
a determination to win. Miss Pearl
Johnson of Richf1eld Is one. Miss
Johnson is a daughter OF Senator Will
lis johnson, well known all through the
state. Miss Annie Lewis of Scofeld is
another popular young lady. Miss
Lewis is postmistress at her home
town and is sure of strong following.
Miss Damie Marley of district A, Salt
Lake City. is a well known instructor
in music. She says she is going after
the big prize I'm earnest MiH Hazel
Barker, another young lady hustler. is
employed at the Auerbach store, Salt
Lake. Mrs. c. c. Sloan of district B
is the wife of a prominent member OF
the Commercial Travellers. Mrs. Sloan
has long been known as a woman of
great worth, has been active in many
charitable and philanthropic move
ments and will have formidable sup
port. Mrs. G. d. Barton, whose hus-
band is connected with the Salt Lake
postoffice. is another member of the
married women's contingent who is
doing much good work.
We have at last discovered one con-
testant who openly avows that he is
not after capital prize No 1. the $4,000
house and lot in NewhOuse Park. The
candidate is Joseph r. Levy of Salt
Lake, the well known cigar man. Mr..
Levy, evidently not feeling the need
of home at present, does feel the need
of an automobile and has decided that
the $500 Buick, offered as capital
prize No. 3 will exactly do. He makes
no secret of his determination to go
out after it.
The standing of the candidates. pub
lished again this morning, shows that
it is still AIRY body'S race. In fact, the
contest is just getting under way and
no candidate has sufficient lead yet to
indicate, even remotely, which ones are
likely to be successful. Some dark
hose" rot yet publicly in the field,
may develop as the leader of all. IL is
never too late to enter this contest
until Nov. % has arrived
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-04
Conditions Of Contest

The winners OF capital prizes will not
be permitted to also participate in the
distribution of grand prizes.
ANY woman or man of good standing
ana residing in the territory described

No employe OF The Herai1. or member
OF his or her family, will be permitted
TO participate in this contest as a candl-
date for capital or grand prize
The Herald management reserves the
right to exclude any candidate from this
contest, when within its judgment such
is proper to do.
Votes win .lot be counted on accounts

boys.

concerning this contest

1t is important to remember, how
ever, that votes will have their great
est value this coming week, beth from
the fact that they count more than
they will later and that they will be
considered in making awards of the
four special prizes. A table, showing
clearly the relative value of the early
votes. as compared with the later ones.
will be found elsewhere In the paper.
One fact that should not be over
looked in this contest is that every
candidate, nc matter where he or she
may live, whether in city or country
has exactly the tame population on
which 10 work as any other candidate.
Although the prizes are distributed
equitably from a geographical stand
point, yet there are no restrictions as
to the field in which candidates may
work No candidate may claim any
particular territory as his or her field.
Votes for any candidate may be Sc
cured anywhere The Herald circulates.
A candidate in Wyoming has the right
to secure votes next door to the Her
aid office in Salt Lake if they can be
thus secured. This makes "a fair field
and no fav1rs" an absolute reality and
puts every candidate on the same
basis as every other candidate, which
means that any person anywhere in
The Herald's territory has a chance to
earn a $4,000 hame, $500 automobile
or some other valuable prize by max
ing diligent efforts for a few weeks.
No proposition so fair as this one has
ever been presented in this part of the
country; no such prize list has ever
been offered in the west before.
Don't allow this opportunity to pass
without embracing it, either for your
self or some of your friends.
We shall endeavor from day to day
to bring out clearly the desirable fea-
lures Of this contest. If you are in
doubt regarding any points, call on
write or telephone to the Contest Edi-
tor You are also invited to inform
him as to who your candidate is He
wants to know something about every
candidate in the race.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-04

Bad weather is not sufficient &c
dampen The ardor of the true hustler
This has been shown conclusively by
the fact that some of the best work
done since The HeraId's contest
opened has been accomplished on the
stormy days. Good day. bad day. any
old day is just as good as another for
the person who is willing to make an
effort.
The "go-getters" who will win the
prizes in this competition are the ones
that disregard weather and all other
extraneous conditions while they get
out and dig.
Intelligent, earnest work Will win in
this case as in every other case. Some
body said genius was an infinite ca
pacity for work. That is true, and 1t is
also a noticeable fact that the luck
lest" persons are the ones that keep
plugging along while others sit Idle
and envious.
The great army of toilers is already
we'll represented in the contest. Not to
attempt to distinguish at enc time all
of the well known labor representa-
tives in the list, it may be remarked
that four we'll known leaders of or
ganized labor are already entered.
They are H. X Russell, the well
known member Of the Salt Lake Ty-
biographical union and president of the
Salt Lake Federation of Labor; A. H.
Burt, business agent of the street car
men and secretary of the Salt Lake
federation: ]. P. Langford, president
of the Park City Miners union and
one Of the stalwart citizens of the big
camp, and H. S. Mccain of Salt Lake.
Mr. Mccain belongs to another class

class are Lyman r. Martineau. candi-
date for congress, and Captain j. b.
BUrbidge. candidate for sheriff. If
these men are wise-and he would be
a presumptuous knave that said they
were not-they would not allow their
political prospects to engross all their
attention to the exclusion of the Splen-
did opportunities presented in this
prize election. IF they do, they will do
