The Japs our nearest rivals are, but
them we hope TO lick.
There's not a Jap upon the team; as
foreigners" they're slick;
With bunt and run Wen win the
game,
But the Japs cant hope to do the
same;
With Lota Or, the mound wen 40 the
trick.
We know the fans are with us, they
like the bail we play,
Young Bill Rice their idol is, they
show that every day;
But wait until through all we've
sailed,
And as the champions we are
hailed,
Till then we let the rooters have the
say. Hurrah!

Ayers Sarsaparilla is a tonic
and Alternative, free from alcohol.
What is a "tonic"? A medicine
that imparts strength or tone; a
medicine that builds up, gives
VigOr and power. What is an
Alternative? A medicine that
alters or changes unhealthy ac-
ton to healthy action. Ayers
Sarsaparilla does all this with
out stimulation. Ask your doc
tor if a family medicine, like
Ayers Sarsaparilla, is not vastly
better without alcohol than
with it.

who had made great variety Of arti-

by so rich q find and had no suspicion

elaborate drawings Of them and wrote

with ingenious and plausible theories.

CABELL FOR G0RE2NOR.
Royal Cabell of Richmond Suggested
as Next Republican Gubernator-
ial Candidate for Iir-


Washington, October 21.-When il
was announced several days ago that
Royal Cabell, Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue. probably would de-
pose Alvah IT, Martin as the national
committeeman from Virginia and take
active charge of the Tatt campaign In
Virginia. those in Washington who
are familiar with Republican politics
IN Virginia did not take long to come
to the conclusion that the original
plan of having Mr.. Cabell succeed
Alvah Martin Is national committee
man would fit in with the guberna-
torial aspirations of The former excel
lently.
Last year when it was limited that
President Taft and other Republicans
would like 10 have Mr.. Cabell make
the race for Governor of the Old Do
minion, and make fight that would
be worth while, Mr.. Cabell did not
like the story when he heard it. he
would neither deny nor affirm IL, but
passed it off with n seductive smile
However, il was believed then that
there was something in it. Mr.. Ca
bell has made an excellent official
since he left the Richmond postoffice
and came here, and it is undoubtedly
true that President Taft will make
further use OF his services.
1t is easy to see that if Mr.. Cabell
should take the place OF national COM
mitteeman, manage the Taft cam
.paign, in the event the latter receives
the nomination again, and generally
show good managerial ability, it will
be the most natural thing for him TO
receive further Endorsement at the
hands of the administration, and it
could not more effectually be done
than by making it known that he
would get the administration help
in the race.
Mr.. Cabell would no doubt be glad
to make the fight, according to what
is said here, because it would give
him a good boost, raise him high in
the eyes OF the President, and put
him in line for something better in
the future-possibly Il Cabinet posi-
lion--if the President should ever
decide to give Virginian such a
place.
But Mr.. Cabell will not talk about
the matter, and until there is meet
ing of the Virginia G.. o. p. nothing
can be definitely learned as TO what
may be done. Representative Slemp
is keeping quiet concerning contests
behind the party lines, and has little
to say either one way or the other.
Realizing that it will be a fight to
the finish to retain his seat in the
House hereafter, he is saying little
and attending squarely to his own
interests.
