The Standard has nuthin'
agin' Mr.. Cooke personally, so
it says. Then it must be polit-
ically-too much of a Democrat
too democratic to suit it's
tastes. 1t is quite true Mr..
Cooke favors giving each voter
a chance to vote for whom he
pleases. 1t was Mr.. Cooke who
advocated the primary plan four
years ago and induced the Dem
ocrats of this district to give it
a trial-give the people chance
to say direct, without the inter
ference of a lot of political de-
generates, whom they wanted as
representative. Direct voting
evidently is not to the Standards
liking. The rotten delegate sys-
tenn, where a small gang of men
can be assembled in some re-
mote corner Of the district and
buy and sell to the highest bid
der-weu, that day is over, and
thanks to such men as j, Henry
Cooke.

The Standard very evidently
believes that the Democrats of
Mercer County are a lot of polit-

who we want for county Office. 3"

PRIZE FIGHT FAKES
so Declares Governor GiIlett, of Cali
fornia says People are to be Bun coed.

Chicago, June All prize fights
are fakes. | don't want TO have any
thing to do with them or with any body
who has any interest in them"
Governor j. n. Gillett of California,
thus expressed his opinion Of ring con-
tests today to the United Press when
questioned about an interview in which
he declared the Jeffries-Johnson fight
is a frame up" Governor Gillett
nominated fstic encounters for prize
money as 'hippodromes to fool the
people" He also critised the Ameri-
can public for taking more interest in
prize fights than in national questions.
The governor said he would gladly
stop the coming battle for the worlds
championship if he could, but that all
sorts OF frauds are allowed and nobody
has the power to stop them"
Some time a mans public views
don't agree with his private attitude, "
added the governor. Now that my
private views have become public, /
don't care a continental what anybody
thinks about them. l know what they
think. think that every prize fight is
a fake. This Jeffries-Johnson fight is
simply a scheme TO make lot ofmoney
out of the credulity Of the people.
Anybody with the least sense knows
the whites Of this country won't allow
johnson or any other niger to win
the worlds championship from JEFF
fries. They simply won't stand for it.
johnson knows that He is no fool.
He knows that TO win that fight he
would have to whip every white man
at the ringside. So he has agreed to
lay down for the money. Why he would
no more think Of trying to knock JEFF
fries out than be would of trying to
stop bolt of lightning. Not that he
might not be able to do it. But | know
he would not only have to whip Jeffrles
but the spectators, the police, and
every white man that could get at him.
When the big championship battle
is ended on July 4, every white man
in this country will be told that a white
man has demonstrated the physical
of his race over that of a
rival race, and every one who has no
sense will rejoice in the victory after
the confidence in him.
Jeffries will retire and Johnson make
more money out of the credulous fools
OF the country"

such volumes Of smoke that passengers
at the next station north, four blocks
away, were driven choking to the

Gradual Recovery,

New York, June 2.-While many
reports were current of trouble in some
of the big stock exchange houses
which make speciality of speculative

might be looked for 1t was antlcl-
pated, however, that the railroads,
especially the big western aggregatlons,
would he under more or less pressure
for some time TO come, and the bank
ers interested in them were prepared
to support the stocks should they show
evidence of dropping below the danger
mark. The paper loss OF yesterday

Stock Exchange houses which make
speciality of margin customers kept

margins were sent out when the market
opened.

that the fear OF contagion was her only
reason for leaving him, and conceiying
a violent jealousy, he pawned few trim
kets, which were his all, to buy revolver
and cartrigdes with which he killed her

plea of guilty Of manslaughter in the

Hardin a year. at most, to live, Efforts
will be made to have him sent to the
State Hospital at Dannemora. which,
