A Good Word for Mr.. HOuahton.

Marlboro has three candidates in the
field for town representative, Henry Whit
ney Clark Higley and William B. Hough-
ton, the latter the candidate of independ-
ent voters who desire to recognize his
loyalty and work for his old town. Mr..
Houghton is endeavoring to demonstrate
the fact that even the old hill towns can
be brought under such state of cultiva-
tion as to afford a good living for the
farmer who is willing to farm as his an
cestors did before him. Mr.. Houghton,
who lives on the old home farm in the
southeast part of the town, has, by thrift
and good judgment brought the land
under profitable cultivation and today has
al fine corn, potatoes and other vege-
tables as any of the valley towns can
show. He has employed local help in
building his large barns and out-b build
ings and has transformed not only the
home place but the Alexander place into
model farm buildings. The people of
Marlboro believe that Mr.. Houghton de-
serves their support and no doubt he viii

interest of the town of which he is prob
ably the largest taxpayer, Mr.. Houghton
has earned the good will and esteem which
he invariably holds among his fellow
townsmen and 1t is because of this good
will that they propose to send him to
Montpelier as worthy representative

After all has been said and done,
whether or not he is victor of the bat
tie and retains the belt he has held so
long, Jim Jeffries will live in the minds
of all followers of pugilism, as the most
courageous, dauntless and gentlemanly
fighter Of them all. Combining his
fighting strictly to the ring, he has
never used his fists outside unless it
has been as gentleman should-in
self defense, and in no other way. Some
fighters when they wanted to drag an
unwilling champion into a fight, have
taken a punch at him in a cafe, or
roasted him through the newspapers.
or made uncomplimentary remarks
about him on the street within his
hearing. Nothing like that has ever
been the policy of Jim Jeffries, VINO

shown himself gentleman through
out his entire career
A minister's SON, Jim Jeffries at
tributes his success to his father, who,
he says, taught him to live in the open
like natural man, to know no fear,
to tell the truth always like a gentle
man, to use his strength like a man
and never like a bully, and to avoid
fighting unless ii was necessary to
fight, but never to stop when he had
once laid his hand to it.

Jeffries Goes Into Ring Today
a Ten to Six and a Half Favorite

Reno, New, July Aim Jeffries will
enter the ring today a 10 to 6A
favorite. This is the sentiment
among the betters today and the bets
recorded seem to forecast no change
either way
There's plenty Of money coming in
on both men, and It's take your chance
at 10 to 6h," was Betting Commits
sioner Tom Corbetts statement to-
day. There is also plenty Of even
money and take your pick on the
twenty round proposition. These odds
probably will prevail up to the time
the men enter the ring"
This is not a big betting fight,
strange to say" added Corbett. I'VE
are handling plenty of money, but
nothing like the amount we expected to
come in. We handled more money in
San Francisco before we moved to
Reno than we have taken in here. 1t
may open UP, however when the spe-
Gals all get in and the east and the
west meet on a common speculative
ground"

and admirer Of Jeffries, who is credited
with having made the odds by plac-

pro or con, 1t has been, nevertheless. an
anxious public that has awaited the
Fourth Of July in 1910. In the whole
history Of pugilism there never viii
nave been a fight which has so arous-
ed the interest of an entire nation and
OF the whole world than the match be-
tween the worlds greatest heavyweight
who retired with the trophy he had
won at the age Of "a, and the big black
who has never known defeat since he
captured the championship six years
ago.
The eyes of the world are turned to-
day on Reno, that little town In the
Nevada hills. where Big Jim and Big
Jack are fighting the greatest battle Of
their lives. No matter who is winner,
neither will ever again engage in a fight
SO historic or important. Honors may
come to both later in life, but they
will be tame to the attentions they win
receive tonight.
Jim Jeffries has fought them oil, and
they are all there to see him win. They
are nearly all lined UP for Jim, though

him defeated. Numbered among these

but the champions partisans were
looking for the best odds to be had
and quietly took the 10 to 61a in goodIy
aggregate. There was no rush to back
johnson at any time, but a quiet
steady play was made on the black
man. This came more from eastern ar
rivals than from the western contin-
gent, among whom the Jeffries senti-
ment Is generally strong
Sentiment is cutting a big figure in
this fight" declared a well known
sporting man who watched the betting
since the men began training. "The
west naturally leans to Jeffries be-
cause he is a western man and be-
cause they are better acquainted with
him personally. But l believe it is
too much sentiment and not enough
OF cold speculative reasoning that is
making Jeffries a top heavy favorite.
1T looks to me like 10 to s or 10 to
3 proposition and I would not be sur
prfsed to see it ane one of those figures

poll was made this morning as they
came over the mountains, and the bet

were taken on Jeffries as on Johnson.
But this was among crowd of JEFF

part.
