To Oppose Stubbs.

Thomas A. Wagstaff Of Montgomer,
county has announced his intention
OF entering the race for the nomina-
ton for Governor In opposition to
Stubbs on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Wagstaff represents the wing OF
the republican party known as regu-
lars and will undoubtedly wage a hot,
bitter fight in the primary against
the insurgents. When Governor Stub
was notified that he would have an
opponent in the race, he simply said:
Bully, 1t will give the people an op-
portunity to choose"

Sends for pinchot.

Mr.. Roosevelt has sent for Clifford
Pinchot. the dethroned head of the
department Of forestry Of the United
States, to meet him in England, and
complying with the request Mr.. Pin
chot has sailed. One would infer fror
this move that the ex-president is
not in sympathy with Messrs. Taft
and Ballinger.

Sales Day.

Not that there is any danger Of its
heing forgotten, but as It does no
harm to get a gentle reminder, we
want to tell all that the regular
monthly sales day will occur on We'd
nesday, April 13. Everything will be
arranged so that there will not be a
hitch in all the proceedings. Those
having anything to sell should list 1t
as early as possible, so that bidders
may learn in advance the merits OF
what they care to buy. Every one
should remember that these sales are
for the purpose Of bringing buyer and
seller together, and that any one de-
string to put an animal or article up
for auction should not expect more
than its real market value for 1t. II
there Is anyone desiring to give fancy
prices he will find the owner and ne
gotiate directly with him. but anything
going in the sales ring should go IN to
be sold.
Don't forget the date and help to
make the April sales day the best OF
all.

Connie Mack has always liked
college players, and gradually the
prejudice some other we'll known

manager in the two big leagues
keeps his eyes on the college teams

]. A. T. Hull was beaten fol-
denomination in the seventh Iowa
district by Judge S. F. Prouty, an
anti-Cannon progressive, and in
the seventh Iowa, which is al.
ways republican, nomination
means election.
This does not mean that the
Iowa statesman will necessarily
retire to the privacy of his bank
and go to work. A man who has
been holding some sort of q
public office for nearly forty
years isn't supposed to banker
after real work.
Hull has not, as yet, picked out
the particular soft spot where he
expects to land. But then there
is the commerce court, which
might look mighty good to a
member of "the old guard" tenn
porarily out of a job.

DIAMOND GL|NTS

Blackburne, sensational short
stopper with Providence in the
Eastern league last season, and
who has been a disappointment
with the White Sox this spring,
is rounding into form and playing
great ball. Chicago critics say
the only trouble with the young
ster has been that he lost his
nerve when found himself in the
big league.

pledge for a year before Judge
Pollard in the Dayton street po-
lice court at st. Louis. The Reu-

judge has habit Of riding" those

st. Louis Americans are max
ing an effort to sign John Buick,
pitcher of the University of Iili-
nois team. Buick had been tout
ed by. many good judges of ball
players to President Hedges.
Walter Johnson, Nationals
great pitcher, was the first twirl-
er in the two big leagues to strike
out 100 batsmen. He reached
this mark on June 10, when he
struck out six of the Tigers.
Fred Tenney is now managing
and playing first base for Lowell
in the New England league.
Ty Cobb is leading the base

President Dewey of the Boston

improvements for his home park

ONE LITTLE PEEP
FOR ASHTON

The fact that man is a demo-
crat is cutting very little ice back
in Washington, or the fact that
he is a republican. If the man
has brains enough to stand for his
people he will get results.
In every magazine that has men
toned the insurgent fight one no
tees that Poindexter Is men
toned along with Cummins, Dol
liver, Bristow, Norris and LaFol-
lette. Where do you find the
name of McCredie, who says that
people who are bowling against
Cannot are not fit to tie Cannon s
shoes. We having not heard of
McCredie doing anything back in
congress, We must suppose that he
is busy tying the speakers shoes.
Those who read the Sunday
paper will note that Cummings
and Dolliver received a great en-
ldorsement in Iowa Saturday, when
the county primaries were held to
elect delegates to the Iowa state
convention. Taft had to play sec
ond fiddle to ofrmer President
Roosevelt, and he (Mr. Taft was
only endorsed where he was carry
ing out the former presidents
policies. Another significant
dispatch was Ballinger being call
ed to see President Taft, after his
conference with Teddy.

dacy of such little moment that
they do not mention it at all.
The fact that Poindexter has
been called to Oyster Bay, to
meet Theodore Roosevelt, should
be an eye-opener to those who call
Mr.. Poindexter a democrat. Mr..
Poindexter was a democrat. He
voted that ticket up to 1896, when
he went over to the republicans
and voted for President Mckinley
He was in line with several nota-
BILE men in the United States. For
instance, the now secretary of war,
Mr.. Dickerson, was a good demo-
crat up to 1896, but he is now a
member of President Taft's cabi-
net. Secretary McVeagh was also
a democrat up to the same year,
and he is also in the presidents
cabinet. Judge Burke is another
illustrious democrat who went
over to the republicans along
with Congressman Poindexter
Locally, Mayor A. V. Fawcett,
who is chairman of the Ashton
campaign committee, was a demo-
crat up to 1900, when he went
over to the republican party. FIRE.

Tor judge and county prosecutor,

,First-Roosevelt is a man of
war. The war for industrial free
dom is now on. The millions are
in a struggle for existence-in

The problem is, How can the

labor?
Roosevelt can best serve his
country and humanity by engag-
ing in that war on the side of
freedom.

College ball players are In the
big leagues to stay. This has come
about in the last few years and
the college men have done much
towards putting base ball before
the public in the favorable light in
which the game nowastands.
This spring the managers of
the big league clubs have been
watching the college players
closely, and many youngster has
been induced to leave his school
or university, affix his signature
to contract and join big league
team. In fact, the signing of q
colleidan is such a frequent occur
renee as to create scarcely rip
pie of excitement.
