Colts Make Hard Work of the
Chances Hughes Regulars Eat Up

BY PAUL HALE RRUsKE.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, 2l--The De
troit clubs training camp has been
presenting an interesting contrast for
some days OF late. An entire colt team
and a club OF veterans. combined m
der one banner and in charge OF one
manager, have been working out on
the same park, In alienation and to
gether.
Advanced baseball erudition has not
been necessary TO enable the casual
visitor at the ball yard 10 tell which
was the veteran aggregation, even
though he had never heard OF any 81
the world-famous athletes which COM
prise IL.
The youngsters have been going It
heir work with n dash that has almost
suggested the college team. They have
fairly torn up the patch with one-hand
stops, throws from apparently impOs
sible positions. and stunts on the bag
at frenzied speed
There's y Difference.
But the veterans? Well. they haven't
featured so much with the one-hand
stun because they have learned the
knack of getting out in front OF the
ball Their throws haven't been from
unfavorable stances because they know
how to come up in position To heaye.
AS for the extreme speed on the bags,
there has been no hectic desire 10
show anything Of the. sort That brand
of goods Is being reserved for a more
appropriate date.

"By Their Fruits We

Mr.. w. E. Andrews has not enter
ed into any arrangements with any
parties in Nebraska or elsewhere for
the purpose of seeking the governor
ship.
He has never received any sugges-
ton from the president either direct
ly or indirectly concerning the Ne
braska campaign for this or any flu
ture year.
When questioned directly concern
ing a prospective candidacy he said:
while | was in the state during my
recent vacation national and state
affairs were frequently reviewed in
conversations with my personal &C
quaintances and party friends. Some
of them suggested that | should en-
ter the race. While | have not de-
clined to give their suggestions due
consideration, | have invariably eX-
pressed a decided preference to as
sist someone else as the Republican
candidate for governor.
"All political parties have a splen-
did opportunity this year to render
excellent service in the moral pro-
gress of our state, and l sincerely
hope that it will be utilized wisely
and efficiently. Of course, l am in
favor of county option and you may
rest assured that | will be glad to
do my part when the time comes
This question is before us and de-
mands solution. Why not dispose of
it now and have it out of the way
when the presidential campaign COM
: two years hence.
The accredited representatives of
the Republican party will in due time
arrange as to platform and candidat-
es. Their thoughts and actions will
formulate the policies and there will
be no necessity for their going to
Washington or elsewhere to find out
what should be done.
"Of course, | have been absent
from my home in Hastings most of
the time for several years because
my official duties have required my
presence at my office in Washington.
l have always taken it for granted
that a public official should spend at
least a part of his time at his office
in the transaction of public business.
The records Of the national ad-
ministration and the present con-
gress present to the country some
very c~ommendable legislation enact
ed in harmony with the Republican
national platform of 1908. That work
has been performed by the Republi-
IAN party as a party without regard
to any factional divisions or differ
ences of opinions. We can we'll af-
