 . to "uphold the supremacy of the white race." When the lusty pro. tagonist from Coeonino entered the squared circle wherein sat Referee Hawkins and Bottle-holder Morris he declared that he was not in training, but in spite of his desuet. ude, he felt able to deliver a bunch of stiff uppercuts and short-arm jolts to the Republican party. Time was called and the audience immediately fortified it's nerves for a scene of carnage. In the first round, the Democratic champion sidestepped nimbly and danced around the ring, no blows being struck. "When I look around me here," he said, "who could decline the invitation to make a speech for the flower and chiv- ilary of Prescott are before me to- night. We are proud of the Demo- cratic party" he concluded, "and who does not thrill when he hears the illustrious names of Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden and Randall"
 Apparently this conjuring with the inmates of cemeteries did not "'thrill'' the audience, which did not seem to relish the elimination from the category of Bryan, the thrice time standard bearer of the Demo cratic party.
 "Who is not proud to be Demo cratsi" loudly queried the "party's hope" as he came to the center, fresh and unwinded in the second round. "All can meet within its circles in the cause of human free dom. Rich and poor alike can meet on equal terms within the party" Here the verbal pugilist feinted and said, CT would not say anything of fensive to the Republicans present. We welcome them here. While the lamp holds out to burn,, the vilest sinner may return We expect to be criticized Here is the editor of the Journal-Miner in one of the front seats, who unquestionably will crit icize my statements in the morning, as he has a right to do."
 Henry had been sparring for wind and when he came up in the third round he was fresh as a daisy and immediately made a vicious lunge at President Taft's ribs. "Taft," he said, "promised revision downward and we got it upwards. There were two big hoaxes last year-the revis- ion of the tariff and the discovery of Dr. Cook.' When the gong sounded, Taft was hastily examined by his seconds, but outside of a red spot in the dorsal region, he was otherwise uninjured. His an tagonist, however, was a trifle grog- gy, from his exertions, but after be- ing famed by his seconds and rub bed with witch nazel, he came back like a Shanghai fighting cock, with his spurs freshly sharpened, and soaked the Republican party with this left hook in the jaw: con March 1, 1913, the Republican party will go down and out.
 "I should say not!" roared one of the spectators, who held down one of the ringside seats.
 'I repeat what I said," declared the ex-ponnder, whereupOn the said spectator made rush for the box office and demanded his money back. The gong then sounded and Henry retired to his corner, with the round in favor of his Republican opponent. While obviously in mental distress, the fighter was by no means winded, as was evidencey in the next round, when he put his steam behind a foul blow aimed below the belt. "The Re- publican party, after flattering for years, finally gave us the Statehood bill, but it did so only because Sen ator Bailey forced them to do il"
 The political pugilist now be- came wobbly at the knees as a re- i suit of this herculean effort, and he would have gone to the ropes, had not the bell rang.
 In the fifth round Henry spared for wind and fiddled for time. "He is near-sighted, he declared, "who does not see good in the Republican party It was all right in the days of Lincoln, but the time has come when it's only standard of principle is Standard Oil. I see a magnificent victory with two Democratic Sena- tors and one Congressman represent ing Arizona in Congress. No politi
