4 TOILETTE AND WILSON.

Hon. N. w. Rowell, a veteran Re
publican and retired lawyer of Alton,
Iowa. says that he has gladly voted
for thirteen Republican candidates
for President, and while he will not
say that he would not vote for La
Toilette he says that il he did SO he
would have to hold his nose. The
Iowa City Republican makes this the
subject Of some pointed remarks as
follows:
"Mr. Rowley is diplomatic, but
there are thousands of Republicans in
Iowa who would not take on any such
difficult task as to take Whit of the
smell that would come as result OF
having to vote for such a man as La
Toilette. If by any chance two such
men as La Toilette and Woodrow
Wilson should be nominated for Pres
ident, this country would have
business panic such as has never
been known before. business Is near
" distracted as it is by the mouth
ings of such men as Wilson and La
Toilette, and only the firm conviction
that such men cannot be elected
! saves the business of the countr!

BY Mark Field.

Thou, O Keokuk, art not among the
least of the speed-horse centers of
the western hemisphere. Thou art
now having such dam time of 1t that
it is hard to speak of thee without be-
ing profane. But time was when thy
streets resounded with the rhythmic
clatter Of the feet of trotters and
PAGERS that have carried thy name in
glory the world around.
Yes, time was, speaking now after
the manner of men, when the trotting
wonders of the continent, including
the then incompatible two-year old
Axtell, were gathered at the Keokuk
track, and under the management of
the beloved Billy Sample, were start
ed on the road to renown imperish-
able.
We now come to look at few OF
the historic speed progenitors In
whom Keokuk has an interest A long
time ago-that's as close as any
body ever comes to ia colored gen.
| tleman came from Kentucky to Keo-
kuk with horse named John Bull.
All that was ever told of the lineage
of this horse was that he was by Ole
Bull, unknown. But to the embrace
of daughter Of Green's Bashaw so,
he sired the good trotter Billy Bashaw,
who, being mated with Zephyr, by
Champion Golddust, sired Joe Bias
sett 1857. And on meeting the Cary
mare. by Ned Forrest, Joe Bassett
produced the celebrated PAGER John
ston, who, in 1884, scored record OF
2:06A. This, being at that time a
sensational performance, raised the
fame of Joe Bassett to a giddy height
and he was easily sold to H. s. Wood
ruff, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, at a loft.
price. Joe Bassett sired also Joe Bias
sett. Jr.. 2:1SA, and four others II

Great Horses of Keokuk

Newberry, OF Argyle, knows the most
about Flaxtail, and knows how to
tell it. According to that gentleman
this wonderful horse, who was line
PAGER, could go any day right out OF
the barn, and, without a minutes
preparation could show, under the
saddle. clip that would not dis
credit Dan Patch, the present king of
the light harness turf, In like cir
cumstances.
Put it was the production of great
brood mares that immortalized the
name OF Flaxtail His daughters,
scattered throughout the country,
everywhere took the first rank as pro-
ducers of early and extreme speed.
In California they made the reputa-
ton of the great centenary sire Sid
ney. beginning his list of standard
performers with the most brilliant
youngsters that up to their time had
ever faced a starter. In Illinois they
| did similar work for Egmont and
other widely known trotting slres.
In Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Michigan, Nebraska and Kan
sas the Flaxtail mares have been the
queens of many noted trotting har-
ems. One case is worthy of special
mention. The Trotting Register
shows the following: "Buccaneer
1856, by Iowa Chief 52S; dam Tinsley
Maid, by Flaxtail 1892. Bred in
i Keokuk by DR.. Hicks, himself"
Buccaneer sired Flight, 1923. out OF
i Prairie Bird, by Flaxtail, and Sham
rock (2-year-old). 2:25, out OF Fern
Leaf, by Flaxtail. In 1886 Shamrock
! held the worlds record for 2-year-old
, trotting stations. Buccaneer sired
also the dams of the yearling Frou
Frou, 2:25k, and the 2-year-old Sid
! Fleet, 2:26k. We know Of no other
: brood mare family that can make
l such showing as the one made in
r this case by the Flaxtails. 1t is worth
while to look at the double Flaxtai
! cross in the champion Shamrock, and
I at the brood mare propensity showr
y in Buccaneer. The breeder gets 8
s lesson here.

in his coat. He has well developed
