Tereat their names, are extremely anxious to
prove to the people that it would be dread
full mistake to put new men on the the Job.
They contend that their length of service
gives them greater influence than new mem
Der could hope to have.
Influence aOith qch0na? The Republicans
are in power, and have been so for almost a
generation. Do these Democratic Congress
men contend that they must be kept in office
because they haze gained influence aoith the
Republicans?
In that event, we had better elect straight
out Republicans, who would, Of course have
still more influence with the Republican ad-
ministration than Democrats can ever acquire.
But here's question that you might put up
to those congressman who are making use of
the Long service great-infuence argument:
Did they consider 1t q good one, qchen they
acere running against the men aChom they
succeeded?
Didn't they, on the other hand, remind the
dear people that the neoO broom Sa0eeps clean?
The question for each of us to consider is,
aohich Of the candidates for Congress IS the
best man for the place?
Some men might be kept in Congress until
they were as gray as badgers, and they would
never amount to hill of BEANS Others do as
much in one term, and as some do in twenty
years-and more, too.
La Toilette and Gore and Beveridge didn't
wait eight or ten years before they compelled
that New England oligarchy to sit up and
take notice Bryan made his fame during his
first term. Ben Hill had hardly warmed his
seat before he sprang into national repute be-
cause Of his debate with Blaine Henry Clay's
power dominated the first Congress he en-
tered. So did that of George McDufie.
If man is fit to make a good Congress
man it is because of his qualities, his mind,
his character, his energy, his devotion to pub
lie service.
Length of service can no more make good
Representative than length of service can
change mule into a race-horse.

He must win tonight to get another

Owen Moran, the British lightweight,
who knocked out Biting Nelson in the
eleventh round OF their fight at a

several offers to appear on the stage,
and he probably will accept one. Charley

now that guarantees of that kind can

Since Frank Kramer teamed up with

the Q~uickstops at Park A. A. Oval
Thanksgiving Day, and neither team
was able to score. Kiefer at quarter
back, Burch al halfback, Con-

His playing this season has helped the
Franklins considerably. eBurch is an
other man who figured much in the
game. He is a marvel in running
through a broker field and eludins
tackles. Henderson's kicking this year
has given him the name of a "booting
star" His crafty toe" has helped
the locals in more than n game.
Conlon is also a great player. He Is

Through an oversight it was stated
Saturday that the total of 404 put up
by the General Electric team Friday

tered. 1t is made up of Hogarty,
Bastedo, Smith. Malone, Gorsline.

Charley ~Lambertson, who managed
the Quincy alleys, in Windsor street,
Arlington. has entered four teams. They
