BIDS EXPECTED
FOR FIGHT between
JEFF AND JOHNSON.

New York, Aug. 8.-Bids for the JET
fries johnson fight for the heavyweight
championship are expected to be made
in numbers within the coming 10 days
and the pots of pugilism will again boil
over with discussion of the coming mill
between the erstwhile boilermaker and
the Negro. While many offers for the
fight will doubtless be made by clubs
in various parts of the country it is
a well understood fact that only one
or two states will permit heavyweight
championship mill within their borders
Nevada and California.
Hugh Mcintosh, who pulled off the
Johnson Burns fight in Australia, is
awaiting Jeffries' arrival in Europe and
will doubtless make an alluring propo-
sition to the retired champion to battle
with johnson in the Antipodes. Offers
for the mill are not unlikely to be re-
ceived from the National Sporting Club
of London and the Cirque de Paris
Sam Berger said today that there
would be no difficulty over arranging
the final conditions with johnson. 10

The Augusta Horse Breeders Asso-
citation deserves much credit for its
efforts to improve the style of horses
raised in Kennebec county, through
the purchase of the two imported
French horses, Dragon and Valerien,
which have now been in Augusta. for
three years and by which some 40 colts
have been sired during that time from
mares in various parts of the county.
Although the colts are but 2-year Odds,
yearlings and sucklings most of them
can be seen to bear strong reSem-
blance to their sires ana are likely to
assist greatly in raising the standard
of horse breeding in this section in the
near future.
Valerien, the first of the two impOr-
ted horses to arrive in Augusta was
purchased in the spring of 1907 from
Durham & Fletcher of Wayne, Illinois.
The horse was sold on shares, Is 5000
shares being taken by the gentlemen,
who afterwards formed the Augusta
Horse Breeders Association. The same
season Dragon was purchased for $4,000
from the same parties and 10 shares
taken by the members of the asoscia-
ton. For the first two seasons the
horses stood at Augusta only, but this
season they are standing at Gardiner,
East Pittston, South Windham and
West Gardiner. The officers of the as
ISOLATION having the horses in charge
are, president Horace Sturgis; secre-
tary & treasurer, Melvin S. Holway;
manager, DR.. G. l.. Blakely.
Valerien is an imported French Per-
cheron, whose French registration
number is 1854 and whose record
number in this country is 46,35S. The
horse was foaled April IS, 1908 and bred
by NJ Segoun of the department of
Sarthe, France. The sire was Lauren

NOMINATE men WHO
CANNOT Be BOUGHT
@yan's Advice Regarding Can
d|dates for Congress.

Lincoln, Neb., June astounding
the slogan for 1912 w. J. Bryan, in
the forthcoming issue of the Com
moner, tells the Democrats to be up
and doing. Mr.. Bryan administers a
slap at those members of his party
who, he declares, are false to their
platform on the tariff question.
democratic voters, you cannot be-
gin too soon to select candidates for
congress-" says Mr.. Bryan. t'In about
a year the campaign will be on and
upon that campaign will largely de-
pend the hope Of the party in 1912.
Let those Democrats who believe in
pure and undeflled Democracy get to-
gether in each district and pick out
Democrat who cannot be bought or
frightened. The trusts have stealth
lily secured control of some of the
congressman who were elected as
Democrats and they will have the
confidence of the trusts in securing a
denomination.
1.-THE trusts can very we'll afford to
put up the campaign funds if they
con control the congressman after
election. The steel trust, for instance,
could put s1,00O,00O into the congress
sional campaign fund without missing
it-and it is only one of the many
trusts--and $1,OO0,0OO would supply
100 candidates with $4,000 apiece, or
200 candidates with $4,000 apiece
"When you see that congressional
candidate has money to spend find
out where he is getting it. Take it
for granted that he cannot get money
from a predatory corporation without
! a promise, expressed or implied, and
that he will pay the corporation back
out of the pockets Of the people,"
