no game at the local American League

clusion was reached, late today, at a
conference between President Johnson

the Athletics, after it became apparent
that President Navin of the Detroit
Club would not arrive in this city in
time to adjust matters with his play

the purpose of divising means of Sc

the men who have broken their con-
tracts with the Detroit Club" Presi-
dent johnson refused to make any
statement about the striking players
previous to the arrival of President

I'VE have no desire e take advantage
of the unfortunate position of the owners
of the Detroit club. brought about by
circumstances which they did not control
on Saturday, we were placed in a diff
ferent position. Until the hour officially
set for the beginning of play we We're
not certain that the regular Detroit team
would not play and we would have been
subjected TO a severe penalty if we had
pursued any course other than what we
did The Athletics are not DESTROYS of
winning games from scrub teams and
for that reason the game scheduled for
tomorrow was called off.
The striking players said that they
were glad to learn of the proposed meet
ing of the presidents of the league. IT
showed, they said. that their strike was
something of greater importance than a
petty grievance. They say that they
have received kilograms from members
of every team in the league supporting
their attitude, and one of the players

.eristics, and is he near to the peoPlef

Governor Burleighs boyhood and
youth were spent upon the farm in
his native town of Linneus. Maine
He displayed from the start those
characteristics which have won for
him success in every activity Of lie
At the age of 16, keenly realizing the
value of a good education, he cheer
fully tramped each morning five
miles to the Academy at Houlton, and
back again at night to his home on
the Linneus farm. Step by step, by
his own energy and ambition, and
with his own two hands, he made his
way in the world He has been sue
cessfui in business. because he
brought to it the same qualities which
won him success in public affairs
His promise needed no writing and no
seal to make 1t binding.
While in Congress he was, in the
broadcast sense, the representative of
his whole District. and the interests
of those of different political views
were looked after with the same
promptness and fidelity that have
characterized his relations with all
his constituents. In this fact will be
found the reason why so many MEM
bers of other parties besides his own
have voted for him on election day.
A man of absolutely stainless pub
lie record, of Immaculate private life,
Of gracious neighborliness, of modest
bearing and of the finest business
qualities, Governor Burleigh is en-
titled to the consideration of every
voter who desires to see the welfare
of the Republican party subserved.

When Governor Burleigh, therefore,

or inexperienced man. His record as
an able executive had preceded him.

his Congressional associates from the

strength and influence in which he has
made steady growth. AS early as 1928
prominent citizen of Maine who had
had occasion to personally observe

1T is source of great qualification

see and know that Governor Burleigh
Is universally classed among the strong
