REPUBLICANS SALAAM
TO P0O-BAHS OF PARTY

with Curry, Ellery and Stanton in
the city the same day Republicans were
kept busy until late last night declar-
ing affiliations and renewing pledges
made to one of the three.
Curry arrived in Los Angeles after
a trip through the San Bernardino dis
trict and the citrus belt. Ellery has
been here for some days and Stanton
has been In and out of the city.
A conference of Republicans last
night was attended by Curry who is
credited with hoping to wean away
some of Stanton's adherents.
Regarding the proposed conference to
be held in Los Angeles to decide which
of the three shall oppose Johnson at
the primaries, Curry did not appear en-
thusiastic. He claims he has sufficient
support to- warrant him in proceeding
with the campaign, irrespective of what
the others do.

ZaneiS Parsons of Crangeville
Gains the HOnorS
GRANGEv|lLE WINS SECOND
Laura Cunningham Secures
HonorS in Defamation

In the Track meet held at Lewiston
last Friday between the high schools
of Moscow, Gennesee, OroFino, lap
wal, Cottonwood. Charleston and
Grangeville. under the auspices of the
Lewiston high school, the Grangeville
boys won second place and their cap
tain, Zaneis Parsons, won the indivi-
dual championship with a total OF
twenty-five points. Moscow secured
forty-eight points and Grangeville
second with thirty-seven. Cottonwood
won the relay pennant and made a
total score of fifteen points.
The preliminaries Friday morning
at Lewiston resembled the. account of
the Grangeville-C Cottonwood track
meet; these schools winning most of
places in the sprint preliminaries. The
afternoon was ideally warm for the
condition of the track men and a
crowd of about three thousand gather
ed in the blazing sun to witness the
contest. The track was in fairly good
condition but was uneven and too
narrow for six men running abreast.
The first event was the 80 yard dash
which Parsons won easily in the fast
time of 5 2-5 seconds. In finishing
this race, before Stacking his speed
after hitting the tape, Parsons ran in
to wire that was stretched to keep
out the crowd and was thrown violent
ly backward upon the ground severely
injuring his left shoulder. 1t was
thought for a time that he would be
unable to take further part in the
meet but to the surprise of all he
pulled his will power and nerve to-
gether and won the 100 yard dash in
10 3-5 seconds, the 220 yd. dash in
"a 2-5 and the 440 yd. dash in the
very fast time Of 56 IA seconds. In
the meantime he won the broad jump
cinched the individual championship.
He was easily the star of the meet and
his every appearance was the cause OF
prolonged cheers from the spectators.
h was found out after the meet that
Parsons had his shoulder thrown out
about an inch by his contact with the
wire and had won three hard fast
races and the broad jump in that con-
dition. Parsons staid out of the high
Jump, the discus and the half mile
race on account of his condition, when
if he had entered he would have no
doubt won the meet for Grangeville.
He has thrown the discus further in
practice than the first place at Lewis
ton and could have won at least sec
