with many vicissitudes. After two in
nings had been played, during which
time the elements threatened. they
made good in the shape of a miniature
tornado and c1oudburst. When the
rain drove the players from the field
after the second inning the score
stood 8 to / in favor of Indiana Har-
Dor. 1t looked like a shame for the
visitors to have their nice lead nipped
1 the bud by the storm. When 1t
stopped raining the diamond looked
like a miniature lake. but the sun
came out hotter than 1t had been at
could actually be seen drying up. UNI
pfre Clark was not wholly discourage
ed, however. He walked over the
ground, surveying the scene with the
critical eye of an expert. and decided
that play could be seumed with the
broom to sweep the water out of the
holes. The hay was placed IN the
pitchers and batters' boxes and where
the catcher stands. after which the
eighteen athletes resumed the scrap.
Indiana Harbor did not score again
during the game, but the local team
added one in the fifth. In the sixth.
inning the clouds once more opened
and this time they put the kibosh on
the game right. After a half an hours
QcldN the EAfn6 was Called OH.
Don Hamilton was In the box for
Valpo and the visitors went after him
rough-shod in the first inning. Dough-
erty, who leads off for the Harbor,
took one In the Stats, went to second
on Hilgendorf's out at first and stole
third clearly. Lynch flied out to cen
ter field. but A. Walsh delivered a
! corker over onto the race track over
the right field which was good for
three bases, scoring Dougherty. He
himself scored a moment afterwards
when O'Brien planted one just as far
away over the left fielder's head the
latten then crossing the plate on Hoff-
mans single.
valpo also scored in the first in
ming. Ward, the first man up, singled
to right and was pushed on to sec
ond when Nuppnau was hit by a
pitched ball. Englehart advanced
them both one base on his sacrifice.
Ward scored on Birds Texas Lacquer
back of first base. Bradshaw then
i struck out Benton and Griswold, re-
firing the side.
In the fifth inning the home team
made their other run on a base on
balls to Ward, a sacrifice and Birds
two-bagger. This inning was full OF
possibilities for the vaipo boys and
Bradshaw was lucky to get out of 1t
with only one run. as two men were
left languishfng on the bases then
Benton n Griswold each went out
on foul flies.
Aside from the heavy batting the
features of the game were Griswold's
wonderful catch In his u~ngloved hand
of Bradshow's foul pop-up in the sec
ond inning. apd the double play OF
vanderkloot, Ward and Eng1ehart in

u. S. ATHLETES. BROKE
CAN'T GET BACK HOME

New York, Aug. 19.-Mel Sheppard,
James E. Meredith and Donald Lippin-
colt, noted athletes and members of
the winning American team at Stock
holm, are stranded in Glasgow with
out funds with which to engage pas
sage home and in such circumstances
that they will be compelled to find
Jobs on the other side unless financial
aid comes from friends over here at
once.
This report was brought to New
York today by the purser of the
steamship Caledonia. which arrived
today. According to the purser the
three athletes went aboard the Caie-
donna. expecting to return on her. but
were shown that the return tickets
furnished them were not good after
August 10. They were unable to
scrape together the passage money
and therefore had to stay behind.
The purser said the athletes had
been competing In athletic meets in
Scottish towns for several days, but
could not take money for that work
because they were amateurs.

WHAT WILL THE VOTERS SAY?

Judge Lowell has obeyed the cor
rupt practices act in spirit and in let
ter by keeping his campaign expenses
below the amount the law a he
may expend. Senator Bourne's state
ment shows he has done likewise and
there are good reasons for believing
his statement Is correct.
The same can scarcely be said OF
Ben Selling. Mr.. Selling has a splen-
did record as a citizen and a public
man, but it is plain he has broken or
evaded that section Of the corrupt
practices act that limits his campaign
expenses to Is per cent of the annual
salary of the office to which he as
pires. Just prior to formally an
nouncing his candidacy he did some
very expensive campaigning that was
in violation of the spirit of the law,
ie not the letter. The attorney gem
eral has ruled that it is in violation
of the letter Of the law.
It will be interesting to see how
the republicans VIII view the actions
of the various senatorial candidates.
What chance will an upright and able
individual like Judge Lowell have in
such a race when he obeys the law?

THE MAN HE NEEDED

Edward d. Saston, who claims tina
he made the largest single fee of any
shorthand reporter in the world when
he collected $4,000 from the law
yers il the famous Star Route trials,
vas sent to report an important hear
ing in a small southern town. n
work was SO pressing that he found
he needed an assistant who could
typewrite. Searching for such a per-
son, he sent out messages, advertis-
ed in the country papers and made
desperate appeals for somebody to
locate the man.
He waited at his hotel all day with
out a sign of an assistant n went
to bed that night extremely worried
because his work depended absolute
ly on his getting some one to help
him. Shortly after midnight he was
aroused by a knock at III door.
II am the man you want" said the
stranger. II am the only typewriter
in this part of the state, and
"Well, exclaimed Easton eagerly.

whole issue, of we think that this is
a great effort only for the demo.
cratic party as a party. 1t is, in my
opinion, the great opportunity in a
generation for democracy. and the
democratic party win only avail itself
of the issues in their strength and
popularity as it shows itself the ex.
ponent of true democracy.
1.-THE time has passed when all
democrats of the country are in the
democratic party and all the repub.
licans in the republican party, There
are standpat democrats and demo-
cratic republicans,
"While in many of the states POI
ntical machinery still prevails and
will dictate the nominations. it's go
ing to take the plain people of the
country to make the election. The
nomination of Alton r. Parker ought
to be a warning to us to have the
candidate not only of the democratic
party, but of the democracy of the
country"
Governor Wilson's candidacy APP
peals to the democratic spirit-pre-
valent in both parties-more than does
the candidacy of any other man seek
T. " ,,oo,,t;o na,,ipatiOp with
cut exception the other candidates are
running ether as state or sectional
candidates or as SAY nothing as
rirants. That is not the proper line
of action for a time like this. The
country is looking for actual lead
ership, for a nan who knows that
he knows and is willing to express
himself freely and frankly. Cover
nor Wilson does this and his speeches
have been winning thousands and
thousands of liberal republicans to
his support. They will vote for him
rather than for Taft because they put
principle above ~partisanship. But
such men would take no interest in
a democratic candidate running pure
ly as a partisan and with no thought
to the great vital problem that is
now uppermost.
The democrats of Oregon will not
astray in voting for Woodrow
Wilson on April 10.

VOTES FOR WON EN-

The women Of oregon have no vote
and therefore have little interest in
party politics. and certainly cannot
be said to be in politics, but in view
Of the fact that one of the candidates
for president will speak in this city
this week our women may find the
following quotation interesting:
Equal suffrage will react not to the
especial advantage of either men or
women, but win result in a more en-
lightened, better balanced citizenship

FROM THE PEOPLE.
A VIEW.

The progressive republicans of
Oregon have no fight against La Fol-
lette, nor should they have. He is
a clean-cut progressive republican
and worthy of honest support. He
will poll heavy votes in the North
and Northwest, but he has no strength
in the South, Southeast, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio n many of the
middle Eastern states. His Philadel-
phia speech before the Press Associ-
alton cooked his goose" at least for
the present campaign, and when his
managers said he could not ONE back
he should have stayed out of the
fight. His W supporters knew
then he could not carry strength suf-
flcient to win out in the Chicago con-
vention and in consequence shifted
their support to the strongest pro-
gressive available.
The struggle at present is between
Roosevelt and Taft and 1t will remain
so at the Chicago convention. A
