MURPHY MUST FIRE HIM

Cricago. Sept. 30.-'T have not re-
signed. / never will resign. and what's
more, I'm ready to sign a contract to
manage the Cubs next year"
Those were the words OF Frank l..
Chance, Peerless Leader of the Cubs
since 1906, upon his return TO Chicago
yesterday morning. They were in
answer TO the statement of President
Murphy Saturday. in which the presi-
dent said that Chance would not be
manager of the Cubs next season.
Murphy put his statement in such
cords as to make il seem Chance had
resigned the job to retire TO his coun-
try home in California.
Il read in Murphy's statement that
he had known since Aug Is that
Vas going to retire" said Chance. Il
did talk 10 Murphy on Aug. Is, when
he asked me about managing the team
next season. replied that didn't
think I would be able on account Of
my health.
Then he reminded me that the New
York doctor had said he might be
able to cure me by an operation. You
wait until after the operation before
deciding to quit said Murphy. and
maybe your health will be all right.
Anyway. we will do nothing about it
until after the close of the season
There has been nothing more said,
and while I was preparing 10 leave
the hospital yesterday in New York,
having had the operation nearly two
weeks aso.I got word that Murphy had
announced my retirement from base

When visitors come to Washington
and have seen all the great govern
ment buildings and the many inter
esting institutions the government
controls their friends are apt to sGe
til you have heard Uncle Sans Mar
inc band" The United States Mar
inc band is as much a government
institutiOn-one might almost say a
government property-as any of the
great executive departments. Like
them it fills its own particular sphere,
and like them it is supported by gov
eminent money. The marine band is
almost coeval with the government
itself, for ii, came into existence when
the republican was less than a quar-,
ter of a century old. 1t began it's
life on an exceeding modest scale,
and not until the second half of the
18th century did it assume even APP
proXimately the proportions of a mill
tary band and perform work common
surate with such a designation. For
about three or four decades more,
under leaders some of whom were
good and some Indifferent, it did it's
work with a membership of about 80.
The foundation for the band as it is
today was laid by an act of congress
which was signed by President Nc.
Kinley in 1889, and by the provisions
of which the personnel reached its
present proportions of 20. At that
time also-or, to be more exact, just
year before that-Mr. William II.
Santelmann had been called to the
leadership of the band, and under
his direction it has come to be re-
garded as one of the best military
bands to be found in any country.
1t is sometimes called the Presidents
Own band, an apt designation be-
cause it is unfailingly present at all
the important fu1ctions that fall with
in the presidential career, from the
moment of the inauguration, through
all the great receptions at the White
house, until at the close of the presi-
dental term, the marine band leads
the great parade which carries the
outgoing president and the president
elect to the capitol. The marine band
does not get away from Washington
very often. Just at this time, by the
presidents permission, the band is on
seven weeks tour of the country
in the course of which it will visit
cities in nearly every state between
the Ohio river and the Pacific coast
and between the Great Lake and the
Rio Grande. Davenport is one of
those TO be thus favored. for the
United States Marine band viii be
heard in Davenport at the Grand
Opera house next Wednesday night.

Hon. William R. Thompson, of Hunt

Democratic nomination for Governor

ception.
Mr.. Thompson is native of Green

stock He is regarded as one of West

ways been loyal party man.
In 1904 the nomination he now seeks
seemed to be within his grasp. but in a
close but fair contest he was defeated
for the nomination by Hon. John j,
Cornwell. of Hampshire County. ,Ac-
cepting the result philosophically. he
now submits his claims for considera-

making strong Roadway toward the goal.
Mr.. Thompson studied law under our
townsman, Professor st. George T.
Brooke. He is regarded as one Of the
best stumpers in the State. is fine

Bryan is right about this; any man who

difference in getting other peoples

Democratic Senator's for Wilson.

A greater number of Democratic
United States Senators have publicly
declared for Woodrow Wilson for Pres
ident than for all the other candidates
taken together Since there are two
active candidates in the House of Rep
resentatives, Speaker Clark and Chain
man Underwood, personal friendship
cuts large figure and the majority of
the Democratic members have not pub
licly committed themselves.
A majority of the Democrats of the
Senate favor the nomination of the
New Jersey governor and as many as
sixteen members of that body have an
nounced their avowal of support to him.
The list includes Senators Hoke Smith,
of Georgia. Gardner. of Maine, John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, MARITIME,
of New jersey, Lea, of Tennessee,
O'Gorman, Of New York, Bryan, of
Florida, Davis, of Arkansas, Gore, Of
Oklahoma, 0verman, of North Carolina,
Chamberlain. OF, Oregon, Newlands, of
Nevada, Culberson, of Texas, Smith, of
South Carolina and Myers, of Montana.
There are at least seven other Demo-
cratic Senators in favor of the nomina-
ton of Gov. Wilson, who will make an
nouncement of this fact in due time.
The strength of Governor Wilson among
the Democrats Of the Senate reflects
the sentiment of the public in the yari-
GUS states of the Nation with regard to
the Presidential nomination.
