THREE GOVERNORS
ARE FOR HARMON
Managers of Ohio Governors Cam.
paign Joyous Over Accessions
to Their Candidate.

The announcement yesterday that the
governors of three States-Connecticut,
Maine, and FIorida-had publicly de-
clared their preference for Gov. Harman
for the Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation, was received with acclaim by
his managers at their headquarters in
the New Ebbitt-
II am satisfied that Harmon is the
only man in the Democratic party who
can beat President Taft" is the blnnt
statement of Gov. Baldwin, Of Connecti-
cut. THE most available candidate"
Gov. Plalsted. of Maine, declares. Gov.
Gilchrist, of Florida. points out that Gov.
Harmon has twice carried Ohio, cites the
wonderful majorities, particularly at his
last election, and continues: 'If the
Democratic party carries New York and
Ohio. I am sure the party will win on ac-
count of the close touch Of Delaware and
Connecticut To the pulse Of New York
and Ohio" He predicts Harmon's nomi-
nation and intimates that the fight will
be made on the tariff.

Taft will get a majority Of the votes.
This Is Cue to the fact that the absence
Of direct primaries has left the control Of
most of the delegates in the hands OF the
old-line Republican machine. 1t hardly
seems necessary that Col. Roosevelt
should have entered the field. especially
since he voluntarily announced on his
retirement that he would not run again.
This country is not so dependent on one
man that II finds II necessary TO elect

II do not believe that the fact that

The situation in Montana.

With due respect for the courage of
Senator Myers, of Montana, In declar-
ing for Woodrow Wilson as the Demo-
cratic candidate for President, other
Montana Democrats who grew up In the
old school of Senator Clark and Herr
Conrad. both of the millionaire class,
feel that Myers was a bit sudden. A
little later on, when the actual election
Of delegates to the Baltimore conven-
ton is ordered In Montana, both Clark
and Conrad may take a hand and insist
on the delivery Of the Montana dele
cation to some Democrat of a more con-
servative makeup than Wilson.
To the hard-headed Democrats Of the
Clark and Conrad type there is q fa-
miliar tone to the Myers announcement
that "the tide has set in strongly for
reform and for a return to govern
ment in which the people rule" It hap
pens that another Senatorial election Is
Impending in Montana, as Senator Dixon

lowed the retirement Of Senator Clark.

THE POLITICAL PROCESSION
BY FRANCIS b. GEssNER.

]. II. Beal, who has held high places in
the legislative and official departments of
the Ohio State government. with q possi-
bic yearning for Congress at times, comes
TO Washington these days a private citi-
zen, perhaps, but with political views.
Through his official connection with
the National Pharmaceutical Association,
Prof. Beal in is touch with active citizens
In every city and village OF the nation.
1T occurs to me that the solid business
men the country over are anxious for
President Taft to remain in the White
House." remarked Prof. BeaI last night.
They feel that he Is a conservative of the
right type. and that his administration
continued another four years will add
to the greatness and prosperity OF the
country. In the farming sections there
is some opposition TO the President, due
to misunderstanding of his attitude on
Canadian reciprocity. In Eastern Ohio
you cannot fail to observe this prejudice
against President Taft. but once he is
understood 1t will disappear. Although
the farmer who objects TO Taft on this
issue may just now add a few words for
Roosevelt, there is no organized sentiment
in behalf of the colonel
After President Taft's visit to Ohio a
few weeks back, the voters In rural COM
munities began to think IL over, and ad-
init that, perhaps, after all they had been
hasty In scolding the President. At
least they are not now inclined to think
that Roosevelt would do them any more
good or even avail as much for the gen.
eral prosperity OF farmers or wage
earners as the man now In the White
House"

May Go as Delegate.

Rhode Island Democrats have not fig
ured much in Congress during the last
| quarter OF a century, but they were
encouraged little over two years ago
when George Francis O'Shaunessy was
elected over William p. Sheffield, who
had been in the House several terms.
The defeat Of Sheffield was really sur
prising, both to him and his foe, and
the Democratic plurality was not large
enough to give o'shaunessy much as
surance Of winning a second term in a
Presidential year.
O'Shaunessy Is really new in Rhode
Island politics. and was nominated for
Congress three years after he reached
the State. It took him less than two
years to become a member of the leg
islature and one year more sent him to
Washington. This celerity IN achieving
political prominence may be explained
by the information that OShaunessy
was born in Ireland
His Democratic friends in Rhode Is
land already have It in mind to at least
nominate him again, and they may in
clude him in the list OF delegates to the
Baltimore convention. O'Shaunessy is
willing, and he even approves the new
system Of electing delegates. Just agreed
upon by the State committee. In other
years both parties in Rhode Island held
conventions for the selection OF dele
gates. This year the Democrats will
hold primary elections on May 81, and
insist that IL the Republicans have
come from under the domination OF
bosses, they viii do the same. There
will be some clever political play in
Rhode Island this year. thanks I'd an
impending Senatorial election. and some
Democrats, recalling the victories in
Maine and Massachusetts,, dream of de-
feating Senator wetmore and the good
old Republican machine OF the State.

MAMMOTH PROGRAM OF SPORTS

Word has been received from Hilo
that the proposed two-datc race meet
for July and will take place as
originally announced and that $500

ferent horse races.
1t is announced that the purses will

John O'Rourke will race his entire

ported not long since that the Master
of Hoolulu Park would race his old
horses at Hilo and send some youngs-
tiers to the meeting at Spreckels Park.

become interested in racing and that
they have ordered several horses from

GRAMMAR MEET
ARRANGEMENTS

The athletic meet to be held at
Alexander Field on March 23 under
the auspices of the Grammar School
Athletic League promises to be of a
very interesting nature.
Each school will be allowed to en-
ter three boys in each event, but only
two of them may participate. BY this
ruling the teams of weaker schools
will be able to acquire third places
and so help out what might otherwise
have been a scant score.
The contestants will be divided into
two classes, one comprising boys
weighing 100 pounds or over and the
other those under 100 pounds, All
contestants must be under seventeen
years of age on the day of entry. On
Tuesday, March 10, at 6 p. m, the
entries will close Weighing will be
done on Thursday and Friday, March
"A and Is, from to o'clock, at the
Y. M, c, A.
In Glass A. for boys 100 pounds and
over, the events will be the 1OO-yard
dash, 22O-yard dash, 44O-yard dash,
SSO-yard dash SSO-yard relay, shotput,
broad jump, high jump and pole vault,
In class B there will be 5O-yard dash,
1OO-yard dash, 22O-yard dash, 40O-yard
military relay, broad jump and high
jump. The baseball throwing contest
of former years will be eliminated.

past, even though they get a plurality
and point and win the big prize.
England, for one, is waking up ath-
letically. For some time past it had
appeared that the supremacy of Great
Britain in the long distance events
was due to become a thing of vague
and remote memories, but John Bull
is coming back.
England's Olympic tryouts are set
for May rs at Stamford Bridge. F. w.
Parker, coach of the London Athletic
Club, has volunteered his services to
every man on the island who thinks
he can learn to run distances. Parker
is one of the most capable distance
running authorities in England and
has exhibited an ability to impart his
knowledge to the few men with whom
he has experimental notably Lieu
tenant Halswell who astonished the
world by his great quarter-mile run
ming several years ago, and w. Scott
of the Broughton HaTriers, who be-
came one of the best in the world over
the four-mile route Already over half
hundred youngsters have sent Par
ker their names as being ambitious to
go over the longer course in the Olym-
/ pic runs.
In France interest in the distance
game is also growing to national pro-
portions, The Frenchmen have turned
out a man who is capable of running
any athlete in the world off his feet
at five and ten miles, in the person of
Jean Bouin, This fellow has smashed
two worlds records-the one-hour
and the half-hour run. In each he
average close to five minutes pei
mile.
From present indications, Bouin is
the man the Americans will have Il
beat to get away with a victory in the
5000 and lO,OOO-metre runs. Bouir
has announced his intention of run
ming both these races at Stockholm
The 5000 meters is little over three
miles and the 10000 is about sil
miles.
AS for the marathon run there il
tremendous interest abroad-more
probably than is being shown jus
now in the States. The Swedes hav,
set their hearts on winning this event
as have also the Greeks. England anC
Germany likewise are developing mel
for the nerve-racking test, which will
be almost a man-killer under the new
rules, which prohibits a man having
an attendant or getting nourishmen
along the way.

STRAIGHT QUEENSBERRY RULES
WILL GOVERN COMING CONTEST

Gilmore was obdurate on weighing in
in the bare skin, and a compromise
was finally reached by Willis giving
in and Gilmore agreeing to box under
straight rules instead of clean break.
as agreed upon earlier in tine even
ing
Yesterday afternoon de Mello boxed
three lively rounds with Dick Sulli-
van, and then put on the gloves with
Jockey Willis for a spell. 1t was cas-
lily apparent that the Hilo Portuguese
is in the very best of fix and he may
be relied on to fight every inch of the
| way tomorrow night.
Gilmore rested yesterday, but will
do things out at Camp Very this aft
ernoon. He is as well as could be
expected, and it is pleasing to record
that everyone of the eight boxers
scheduled to don the mitts tomorrow
might reported this morning in the
best of shape
According to reports about forty
! five Hilo Portuguese will arrive by
the steamer Mauna Kea tomorrow to
witness the contest An unusually
large out-of-town contingent have Sc
cured seats in advance.
Gilmore continues to rule a slight
favorite over de Mello, though the
Hilo boy has any number of hackers.
! Gilmore's extraordinary reach, seventy
ieight inches, will give him much ad-
vantage in this regard, but, on the
other hand, the Hilo Lions aggres-
siveness and proved gameness are re-
lied on by his friends to pull him out
of the contest with an unsmirched
certificate.

All arrangements for the de Mello-
Gilmore boxing contest which takes
place at the Orpheum tomorrow night
have been completed, with the excep.
ton of who is to be the third man in
the ring. This point will be settled
at a meeting of the principals to be
held this afternoon.
The men named for referee are Joe

The bout will be governed by

Straight Rules to Govern.
In the matter of rules, Gilmore
wanted either clean break or straight
rules. Willis insisted on hitting with
one arm free in the clinches, protect

at the word of the referee. After a
heated discussion the parties agreed
to flip a coin for choice, and this re.
suited in Willis calling wrong. Gil.

Last time Hilo entertained an air

but they paid their guarantee of $1,000
nevertheless and smiled over their rot

ing of better things this trip.
The Usual Scrap.

to be a memorable one in the annals
of island sport. Racing in Hilo fell
