HARMON is GOVERNOR OF OHIO

This sample of superlative ignor
ance or knavery is taken from the
comment of a Republican paper upon
Governor Harmons veto of the sun
day baseball bill;
Representatives were astonished
that the bill had been vetoed. Polite
al friends of the governor said he
had made a mistake. They were not
so much inclined to take issue with
his views on the legal phase of the
case, as they had not looked into it.,
but were inclined to the opinion that
the governor overstepped the bounds
where he set himself up as court to
pass on the constitutionality of the
measure, in the face of the known fact
that the attorney general, the legal
advisor of state officers, including the
governor, had passed favorably on the
measure and the whole question had
been thrashed out in committees in
both houses"
The state of Ohio has not yet reach
ed the point where the governor
must ask the advice of the attorney
general before he dare sign OF veto
a bill.
The veto power was conferred upon
the governor not upon the attorney
general.
Besides, in this case, Attorney Gen
eral Denman gave supporters of the
sunday baseball bill an opinion based
upon the constitution of the state of
Iowa and not upon the constitution of
the state of Ohio. There is quite =
difference between the constitution of
Ohio and the constitution of Iowa.
The constitution of Ohio is the CON
stitution in Ohio; and Governor Har-
mon, whose oath of office requires him
to enforce the constitution of Ohio,
not the constitution of Iowa, stood by
the Ohio constitution in vetoing the
baseball bill. For Judson Harmon,
you see, and not the attorney gener.

CHUG CHUGS Will
RACE AT San JOSE
Rivalry Between Riders of Two
Different Makes Leads to
Challenge Match

San Jose will be the rendezvous next
Sunday of the motorcyclists within rid
ing distance of the Garden City. The
cause of the excitement will be the
motorcycle races to be held at that
place. For some months there has
been a great deal of rivalry between
w. G.. Collins, who rides an Indian, and
Charles Bake. who rides a Thor.
OF late Bake has been taking the
Indian rider into camp, the last victory
being at Santa Rosa, where the Thor
eclipsed the worlds circular track rec
ord for the five mile mark. The rivalry
has become so keen that they have sent
to Los Angeles for Graves, who has
done championship riding in the south
ern city on the Indian. This will mean
that Balke and Erhart will hitch up
against Collins and Graves.
Baylock also came up with Graves
and will be in the Indian camp. The
motorcycle races saved the day at San
ia Rosa when it came to excitement,
and from the showing of last Sunday
it will more than repay the enthusiast
to make the trip to San Jose.
Bake, in speaking of the comm e
events, says that he has beaten Graves.
and inasmuch as Graves has beaten him
in the south the coming contests will
mean much to both.

HEAR SOUND TALK
All America Team to Make AUS
fraIfan Trip Urged to
Pull Together
By WILLIAM UNMACK

At the eleventh hour the personnel
OF the All American Rugby football
team for Australia has been changed
by the withdrawal Of Babe" Crawford
from the ranks of the tourists and the
substitution OF "Cub" Minturn of
Stanford. Crawford was looked upon
as a certainty right up to the time the
team was photographed yesterday. The
withdrawal Of the giant forward will
not only considerably weaken the team,
but the Australians will miss the play
ing abilities OF one of the greatest for
wards in the world. Minturn, how
ever. has had considerable Rugby ex-
perience, and is well worth his place on
the team.
Professor O'NeilI of the University
Of California addressed the athletes
yesterday. and pointed out to them the
Importance of the trip they were about
to take. He urged the men to forget
all their petty differences as opponents
on the field here and work together.
Coach Schaffer also gave the men
some good advice, and asked that each
and every man get together and pull
together for the benefit of both uni
versities.
Minturn is one of the best forwards
in the Stanford squad, and represented
his alma mater in the big games
against California in 1907 and 1909. He
plays in the second row.
The team is to leave for Vancouver
on the Shasta limited on Tuesday
morning, leaving the ferry building at
1l.90
