AND THIS BATTLE WILL SHOW If DANE

RIGHTS TO stomach that were poured
into him as early as the fifth round,
making his step leaden and unsteady
and his arms heavy and SLOW. Mel

fight but IL was not in him. Round

efforts and the blows that he had re-

when the final bell rang La Grave

Nelson ascribed. his poor showing

enough to true his eye and TO the
further fact that La Grave outweigh

some justice TO the latter claim. but
ii his judgment of distance can be

For. after all, Nelson's frame and
heart have been his principal stock

that his superior endurance, enabling
him TO outmaul and outrough his OPP

This slight encouragement TO an

the sport at heart" and the result
was a conference committee made up
of delegates from the National league,

of 1882 and adopted what was called
a tripartite agreement which was eX-

The instrument itself provided for
a national board. which should act as
an executive to enforce the National
agreement law.
The object of the National agree

baseball law since 1883. is to furnish
a central government for all profess

to settle disputes which may arise De-

Antigonish, N. S., Aug. 19.-The
annexation of Canada to the II. S.
by Canada was advocated today in
an address by Henri Bourassa, M. p,
Nationalist leader OF Quebec, before a
summer school of science of st.
Francis Xavier college.
The speaker dwelt at length with
four possible destinies of Canada,
namely Remaining i'm the position
in which she is at present, which he
regarded as very improbable; an inn
perial federation, which would be an
unwieldly and unworkable condition;
annexation to the United States; and
independence.
An imperial federation means an
imperial council with a preponderant
British influence" said Bourassa.
Conditions today i'm Canada make
for annexation rather than for inn
perial federation. The penetrative
influence of trade by rail and coastal
lines, the mental prosperity of the
two peoples living under similar con-
ditions, industrial and social, and the
constant inter- communication of Ca

MAKE GREAT ADO
ABOUT NOTHING
DOWN. STATE PAPERS MAKING
GREAT FUSS OVER BIG U. p.
ENROLMENT WHY TO-
TAI is LARGE.

Local politicians are somewhat
amused at the seriousness with which
the report that the enrolled vote of
the upper peninsula exceeds the vote
cast at the election two years ago
by about 5000. has been taken by
many of the down state newspapers,
says the Mining Journal. According
to a report sent out from Lansing a
few days ago, II appears that the to-
tai enrolment i'm the fifteen coun-
ties north of the straits is 5S,135.
while the total vote at the primaries
two years ago was but 1906, and
the vote of all parties for governor
i'm the election following was only
5O,2S3.
one of the Lansing papers has
made this discovery the basis of a
story setting up an alarming con-
dton of affairs. from a down state
standpoint, i'm that il means that the
upper peninsula with it's practically
solid Republican vote can dictate the
result at the primaries. 1t is even
hinted that the size of the enroll
ment warrants an investigation, 1t
being alleged that the mining inter
ests are interested as never before
i'm the result this year and are using
every means in their power To pre-
vent an increase i'm their tax assess
ments. 1t is stated that there is at
least an indication of a stuffed en-
rolment and that ii is the duty of
the lower peninsula interests To in
vestigate the situation before Sept. 6.
To those familiar with conditions
i'm the upper peninsula all this fuss
and flare up are amusing. AS a mat
ter of fact the public generally is not
taking any great interest i'm the COM
ing primaries and il is not expected
that there will be anything like a
full Republican vote cast Those
well qualified TO judge predict that
the primary vote i'm the upper penin-
sula will not exceed 10000, while
there are many who claim that IL
will be nearer 10000. North OF the
straits there exists the same appar-
ent general apathy that is causing the
candidates so much concern in the
lower state counties. and the fact
is that large proportion of the vot-
ers have as yet given the primary
election little II any concern.
Conclusion Unwarranted.
1t appears that i'm their zeal to
work up a sensational story. the down
state newspapcrmen have. jumped to
the conclusion that the $4,000 total
means just those who enrolled at
the election last spring. This must
be an entirely wrong supposition. and
the figures can mean nothing else
than the total enrolled vote. Of which
the enrolment last spring represents
only a part. IL is common knowl-
edge to the voters here that the cleo
tion boards have been very lax In
revising the enrolment lists and that
from is to 80 per cent of the names
