Mann to Mr.. fuckers talnt would

THE Roanoke Times in a strong
editorial of recent date lays great
stress upon the fact that we have
reached crisis in the history Of
the Democratic Party and strong
~ urges Joseph Z. Willard to
come to its rescse by announcing
his candidacy for the gubernato-
rial nomination. 1t may be that
we are not as well informed as to
the political situation as our Roa-|
note cOntempory and other con-
temporaries who evan go so far as
TO predict a Republican victory
this fall nevertheless we believe
that their alarm is necessary.
Evan if the situation is as they
Claim 1t to be- are at loss to
see how the entrance Of Mr.. Will
LAID into the gubernatorial fight
would help it in any way. He
certainly is DO stronger now than
he was four years ago and at that
time after a strenuous campaign
he failed to get as many voters as
Judge Mann, who is an aSpirant
this time. Certainly then, evan
did he succeed in getting the NOM
lnation. which we believe impos-
sible the Democratic Party would
be no stronger and rather less so
than if either Of the other two
gentleman should be nominated.
Judge Mann showed himself to be
stronger than Mr., Willard four
wears ago and should Mr.. Tucker
be nominated it wonld certainly
show in our judgement that he is
stronger than either,
We are at a loss to understand
why this unnecessary alarmshould
exist. Surely the Republicans
have not been so circumspect in
their management of the National
affairs as TO create a desire on the
part of Virginians to become sub
ject to their rule. Evan now
they are busilY engaged in Wash
ington revising the tariff upward
thereby betraying their contempt
for the Chicago platform and their
own lack of trustworthipess.
Our contemporaries must have
overlooked the fact tthat those
who vote in the primary are
pledged to support the nominee
ia the general election. These
votes alone would be suG cient to
elect the nominee. Surely our
contemporaries do not mean to
say that they have so little conf
dence in the voters Of our COM
nonwealth as to believe that they
will support the nomiase of theis

COUNTY CLERK GETS OPINION

All automobile owners in Kenosha
must secure new licenses from the
state in keeping with the order receiv-
ed by County Clerk Russell H. Jones
from the secretary Of state this morn
ing and the clerk is now receiving APP

automobiles OF the county. The fee
for re-registration Of the autos is 81
and it must be paid to the secretary
of state within the next ninety days.
MANY owners Of cars i'll Kenosha were
of the opinion that automobiles which
had been registered with the state de-
partment before the passage of the
new law would not be forced to secure
a new license and many prospective
buyers of autos showing a decidedly
thrifty and frugal spirit sought to Sc
cure their licenses before purchasing
ears In order to avoid the payment of
the increased fee for registration. All
of these people will be forced to send
in another dollar and every auto owner
no matter when the license was issued,
must re-register The fee for the
REGISTRATION of automobiles in the
future is raised to two dollars and the
re-registration at the rate of a dollar
for the new license.
The clerk is also instructed that he
must secure from owners Of motor
cycles in the city an application for
registration and the registration of
these machines will cost the owners
one dollar. While the motor cycle is
governed by the same laws as the au-
tomobile in Wisconsin the law grants
to the smaller machine a smaller IL

Dick Cavanagh Negotiates the I8
Holes of kenosha Country
Club in 81 Saturday
GOLFERS MARVEL AT SCORE

Dick Cavanagh, former state golf
champion, established himself as the
premier golfer Of the Kenosha Country
Club on Saturday afternoon when in a
match against DOGGY he negotiated the
course in a total of 81 strokes, the
score breaking all Of the professional
and amateur records of the course. It
is regarded by golfers as the most
marvellous display of perfect playing
ever seen in Wisconsin and many
question if the record has ever been
equaled on any of the western links.
Cavanagh won the splendid trophy
offered by President o. =. Hutchinson
for the match against DOGGY with a
score Of nine up on the Colonel. The
DOGGY of the course is 70 and it is
regarded by experts as difficult score
to make. Cavanagh went out in 81
and came back in 80. He had no freak
holes, but played consistent golf from
the first stroke and the highest num-
Der of strokes taken for any hole of
the eighteen was 5.
Cavanagh played against Fred Pet
tit, the state champion, and notwith-
standing the fact that Petit came in
with score two under DOGGY for the
first round he was three down to
Cavanagh and in the second round
Cavanagh simply distanced competition
The amateur record of the course up
to this time had been held by Berthoff
NJ. Petit, with score of p and the
professional record was held by Harry
Vardon, the English golfer, with a
score of SO. Since the score was made
by Vardon the course has been changed
so that it is at this time four strokes
longer. The card turned in by
Cavanagh follows:

WHIPS PETE SAVOY
Frank conIey Of Kenosha Knocks
Out Chicago Fighter in the
Eighth Round at St. Joe
WILL NOW MEET AD W0LCAST

Frank Conley, the hard hitting little.
Italian Of Kenosha won one Of the
greatest battles Of his ring career at
st. Joe, Mo-, on Sunday afternoon
when he knocked out Pete Savoy, the
star light weight Of Chicago in the
eighth round Of what was to have been
a fifteen round contest. Conley Gov
cred himself with glory in the battle
and put up one Of the greatest battles
ever seen in Missouri. The battle be-
tween the light weights was the big
go Of the card arranged for the Eagles
picnic at st. Joe and the fight was
witnessed by crowd of more than
FIVE thousand people. Conley was the
favorite Of the crowd and from the
sound Of the gong for the opening of
the battle he had the fight we'll under
way. He did all the leading and re-
peatedly drove Savoy to the ropes in
the opening rounds of the contest.
In the fifth round Savoy took brace,
but Conley fighting like demon land
ed right and left repeatedly and it
was evident that Savoy was loser.
In the opening of the eighth round
Conley sent a left hook to Savoy's
Jaw which knocked him down and out.
Wolgast will now be forced to fight
Conley and the Kenosha boy will get
a chance to retrieve the ground lost in
former battles with Wolgast. The
manager Of the Milwaukee fighter was
at the ring side and challenged the
winner of the fight and Conley will
promptly accept the challenge. 1t Is
not thought that there will be any
bubble over weights and it is expected
that the two boys will be matched to
fight at st. Joe within the next three
weeks. Conley is in perfect condition
for the fight and his work over Savoy
shows that he was never better in his
ring career.
