lily in a horse than in politics waa
the decision Of Gov. Johnson today
at the Streator fair when he delayed
starting his address until after the
2.O2 trot had been finished. Amid
applause the Progressive vice presi-
dental nominee said:
My friends, 1 preach the doctrine
of the human race but no race can
compare with horse race. Let us
see the heat OUT
Then he faced the horses and saw
the heat run off. Some saw an anal
ogy between the start of the horse
race and the political contest. a horse
named Teddy was long time get
ting started, but the race finished with
Teddy in the lead and the crowd
shouted:
Teddy wins"
He always does and will this year."
remarked the governor.
Gov. Johnsons itinerary today car
ried him through the scenes of the
famous Lincoln-Douglas debates of
1859. His addresses dealt mainly
with social and industrial questions.
Cheering crowds greeted him in every
city he visited.
At Ottawa the governor compared
the critics of the Progressive party
to the man who put his fingers in a
buzz saw TO prove it would run. The
governor returned TO Chicago tonight
and tomorrow he will address the
Progressive convention in Milwaukee.

rimon. Of Wilmington; A. c. Hatch, Of
Mount Olive, and r. w Oldham, of
Raleigh All are sophomores and are
held in default Of $1,000 bond each.
The evidence brought out was that
Rand was forced by the sophomores
to sing and dance on a barrel, and
that while performing the part he
was either thrown by the barrel be-
ing kicked from under him or he fell.
A piece Of broken bottle pierced his
neck, severing the jugular vein and
carotid artery. Two freshmen fled,
but two others. and Rand's room
mate. also the victim Of the prank,
