DRYS FEAR THE INITIATIVE
North Dakota Prohibitionists Will
Oppose Proposed Amendment.

North Dakota ProhIbitionists Will
Oppose Proposed Amendment.
Prohibitionists of North Dakota will
oppose the adoption of the initiative
and referendum amendment to the
constitution under which constitution
al amendments could be submitted by
the initiative plan, declaring that the
enactment of such a measure would
open the way to the brewing interests
Of the United States to wage a fight in
the state that would be parallel to
that under way in Maine for several
years.
The Prohibition party, in its plat
form adopted at the conference held
at Grand Forks last week, sets forth
it's views and the North Dakota anti
saloon forces contend that even now
liquor interests of the United States
are massing their forces to wage war
in this state to secure resubmission.

CAMPAIGN METHODS CHANGE
Republicans Will Separate State and
National Contests.


New methods of conducting the Re-
publican campaign are to be followed
in North Dakota. Instead of all be-
ing under one tent the national, the
congressional and the state tickets
will be fought for separately. In the
old days the state central committee
bore the brunt of all the battles, but
since the last statewide campaign
North Dakota has been divided into
three congressional districts. It has
been determined by the state central
committee that it's duties will be con.
fined entirely to the election OF the
primary nominees on the Republican
ticket for state and legislative offices,
This will ~necessitate a COMPRESSION.

three districts, which will no doubt co.
operate with the national COMPRESSION.
al committee. All the candidates for
congress will be surrounded by their
own personal friends and wage an in
dividual and personal rather than e
congressional campaign.
For the Republican electors the
fight will be left with National Com
mitteeman Marshall. With his afhlia
ton with the national Republican
committee it is supposed he will be
able to secure campaign orators Of
national repute.

TAKING POOR MANS
COAT OFF HIS BACK
Concrete Illustration of What a Re.
publican Tariff Really Means
Causes Workers to Think.

Concrete examples Of how a pro
tective tariff operates are causing the
working man, the poor man." to do a
lot of thinking nowadays. He 4s be-
ginning to understand whether 1t Is
not about time to call a halt on the
Republican practice of taxing the coat

the loss of his shirt and his socks II
he does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
endorsed by a Republican President
as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER

JIM FLYNN, B YEARS OLD TO-DAY, HAS JOINED
 THE HAS-BEEN CLUB

'Tis a sad birthday for poor old Jim Flynn, the chubby-fist- ed fireman who made Pueblo famous. James, whose really truly name in Andrew Chiarig- lion, is thirty three years old to- day. He was born in Brooklyn on Dec. 24, 1879, his father be- ing a native of sunny Italy, and his mother. 'tis said. a Colleen from the OuId Sod. FTynn's re- cent defeat at the fists of Luther McCarty has enrolled the ffre- man in the HaS-Been Club, and it is hardly likely that the poor old fellow, doddering under the weight of thirty-three years, attraction on the main circuit. Looking back over his career today, Flynn must reflect that he has been one of those "al- most, but note quite," fellows. Several times he has been with fortune. but he lacked the final knockout punch. Beginning his professional -pugilistfc career in 1911, Flynn has for years been the giant killer of the white hopes. He has put a kibosh on the championship aspirations of Dave Barry, Tony Ross, Bill
  man and Carl Morris. It has been the custom, whenever a white hope got chesty, to pit him against the Pueblo heavy weight, and this treatment has usually been sure cure. For a time Al Kaufman looked like the Moses who would lead the welI-Enoyvn white race out of the pugilistic wilderness, but on May 5, 1911, at Kansas City, Al was bumped off the map by Flynn. Then Carl Morris and his press agents broke into the limelight, and Flynn made the Sapulpa boy look like a mon- key. Jim was expected to ad- minister a similar course of sprouts to the youthful and ambitious Luther McCarty at Los Angeles this month, but Luther was there with the goods and the old verteran was forced to quit in the sixteenth round. Youth must be served, and it looks like the curtain for Flynn. He was a good old horse while he lasted, and the fight fans will join today in wishing him many happy re- turns. It seems to be a case of back to the locomotive for Jim the Giant-Ki1ler.

 Now, to be absolutely truthful, this isn't the exact wording of the circular read to patrolmen at La Grange street station, but it might have been for a sneak thief, dressed as Santa Claus, entered the house of Julius Schonen- berger, in Newton, via the porch, while the family was at dinner, last evening, and stole $150 worth of jew elry.

SOLDIER KELRnS AND
 WILLARD B-X FRIDAY

The session between Jess Willard and Soldier Kearns in a ten-round boxing bout at Madison Square Gar den, New York, next Friday night may go a long way toward settling the fre- quently discussed question as to whether fairly clever, powerful man can make any headway against an opponent equally clever, not so rug ged, but great deal larger.
 In other words, KearnS is going to try to disprove the generally accepted theory that the big man will defeat the littleman, all other things being equal. By this it is not meant that Kearns is small; his feet 10 inches of height and 200 pounds of bone and muscle stamp him as being big enough but he is small in comparison with his rival, who stands feet 6 inches in his stockings.
 In favor of Kearns it may be men tioned that he is an athlete, quick on his feet and capable of whipping over snappy punches, despite his abnormal muscular development. This is a com bination that should make the soldier a far more formidable antagonist than the average strong man.
 The theory that punches of mus c1es will tire a fighter was not backed up in the case of Tom Sharkey. K arms doesn't consider all things equal so far as the coming fight is concerned, for he regards himself as a harder hitter than Willard.

MANY CHALLENGE NEW YEARS WINNER
BUT VICTOR OF PALZER-PCAR- TY BOUT PLANS TO GO ON
 STAGE

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 2@The fact that every white heavyweight boxer from Borax Bill to Bombardier Wells has tried to gimlet into the Al Pal zer-Luther McCarty affair can be talk en pretty good evidence that the New Years Day contest at Vernon is attra cting a lot of attention.
 '"They might as well save their money said Promoter Tom McCarey yesterday as he tore up paid te1e- gram from a 200 pound citizen of Buff fa1o, who challenged the winner with $14o worth of wire pratt1e. 'I started out with the heavyweights merely to settle the question of which was the best man-Jim Flynn, Al Pal ger or Luther McCarty-as I felt that the public looked upon these three as the most promising heavies in Amer ica.
 T respect the ability of Wells, and two other good men are Jesse Willard and Frank Horan, but we will close up shop when the belt is turned over to the man who wins on New Years Day
 'tIt probably will be several months before the Vernon winner will want to box again, as he can clean up hand somely with theatrical work. Along about June or July we may be able to bring off another Series of battles.' ''
 Palzer and McCarty went through their routine training work at their respective quarters yesterday with the usual crowd of admirers in attendance.

Expects That BeCher Will Land in CinCin-

he has an excess of talent for the out gardens. Cincinnati and St. Louis have refused to waive on Becker, and he will probably land with either of regular berth in the National League. McGraw'S agreement with Indiana po- lis for Pitcher Goulait can be consun- mated with cash or players, and Mo Graw will probably pay cash for him rather than have Becker get out of the National League
 McGraw said he never announced that Burns and Shafer would be reg ulars next season, although he would not be surprised if they won places on the team by superior playing. The manager stated that Shafer was slat- ed for shortstop last season, but the death of his mother interrupted his from the Coast he was under weight and so Fletcher was kept in the short field McGraw said that he expected great things of George Burns and would not be surprised if he won a place in the Giant outfield as a regu- lar. Burns is a. fine hitter and a wide awake lad on the base paths. He is sure to be used a. great deal more than he was last season, anyway, with Becker gone.
 According to McGraw's present plans, he will send number of young players to Texas about Feb. 15, and leave for Marlin himself about the same time. Coach WfIbert Robinson will be on deck to start the young pitchers at work. The younger mem bers of the squad will have had about two weeks work by the time the vet McGraIw expects to again steal a march on the other clubs of the league by getting his men into shape before any of the other clubs.

Manager John J. McGraw returned from his histrionic triumphs in vau- deville yesterday and was at his desk at the Giants offices in New York. He took off his coat, lighted a. cigar and jumped into a pile of correspond ence with a. vengeance. The Giants manager will be busy at his office every day until Jan. 5, and by that time he hopes to have all the contracts for the players sent out and the ar engagements completed for the team s training trip to Marlin, Texas.
 President Hempstead and Secretary McCutcheon of the club, being unfa- miliar with the practical end of run ming a. baseball team, have placed the matter in the hands of Manager Me Graw. McGraw has his players near ly all lined up for next season and an- ticipates no trouble in receiving their signed contracts promptly after the first of the year.
 McGraw took occasion yesterday to brand as false many of the interviews which have been sent out as coming from him from different cities where he has appeared in vaudeville.

STRICKLETT QUITS
 DIAMOND FOR GOOD

San Jose, Dec. 24.-Elmer Stricklett, former star of the Brooklyn Nationals and the man who invented the fa- nous moist ball. has pitched his last professional game and p1owed his last furrow. Elmer is reputed to have accumulated a fortune. between base ball and a Santa Clara county prune ranch He has opened a. furniture business in the town of Sunnyvale. where he has formed a partnership with N. H McCorkle.
 Strick1ett has been in baseball for the last 20 years. He jumped from the old league to the American league at the time the American league was organized and has played in practi- ca1ly all of the eastern leagues, be- sides the Coast league. before going into outlaw ball, at which time he was the property of Brooklyn.
 Mrs. Strick1ett's plea that she com pelled her husband to play outlaw ball when he was the property of Brook lyn resulted in his reinstatement. He was then turned over to Binghamton, N. Y, and finished last season with Toronto in the Eastern league
