SATURDAY GAME
TO Be DECISIVE
Minnesota and Wisconsin to
Struggle for the Western
Championship.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-With the end Of
the conference football season one
week away, Saturdays game at Min
neapolis between the University OF
Wisconsin and the University of Min
nesota is expected to settle the con-
ference championship If Wisconsin
wins the championship will go to Mad
ison. If Minnesota wins the twins
will have Chicago to play on Nov. %
in the last game of the season.
University Of Chicago coaches and
hackers however do not predict that
the Maroon team can hope to do more
than make a fair showing against
Minnesota.
If Minnesota should win and at such
a cost in crippled players that Chi
cago could defeat the team a week
from Saturday, the conference cham
pionship would be lost in a triple tie,
with each Of the leading teams hav-
ing one defeat to its record. This pos
sibility is not considered seriously by
football experts and Saturdays game
is looked on as the championship bat
tie. The other teams of the confer
ence have been decisively defeated and
are out of this years race.
Wisconsin's hackers insist that the
powerful Cardinal team which has
overwhelmed every opponent this year,
cannot lose to Minnesota. Both Van
Ripper, Wisconsin's star halfback, and
Gillette have recovered from their in
1uries and will be in the game for
which they have been saved.
Minnesota will be without the serv-
ices Of Erdahl, its crack halfback.
The far north players, however, point
to the fact that team has never been
in danger of losing a game this year
and assert that the men from Wis
consin will fare no better than the
teams that have preceded them. The
game promises to be one of the hard
est contests ever staged in the con-
ference and interest in it is intense
throughout the big nine"
Chicago and Illinois play Saturday
at Urbana, probably for third honors.
Indiana and Northwestern have no
games scheduled. Iowa plays the Iowa
Aggies at Ames for the state cham
pionship and Ohio State plays Penn
sylvania State at Columbus

SHOWING MADE
Secretary of Progressive
Committee Declares Him
self Satisfied.

Paul Davis. secretary Of the Progress
sive state central committee. is In
Boise today from his home at Weiser.
Mr.. Davis devoted his entire time and
energy to the state campaign after the
fight was begun. He made a tour, of
the state during the last two or three
weeks of the campaign showing the
Roosevelt moving pictures, assisting in
perfecting the organization in various
localities and boosting for the cause
generally. Mr.. Davis is still most en-
thusiastic and declared that such a
showing was made at the last election
as to guarantee success in this state in
the next election. He Just returned
Tuesday night from north Idaho, where
he closed the campaign and where he
was on election day.
1.-The battle has just begun" said Mr..
Davis today. THE number of votes
which we cast under the great obsta-
cles under which we worked showed
that the people are with u.s. and had 1t
not been for the decision of the su-
preme court denying the Progressives
the same rights given the other parties
in the state, we would undoubtedly
have carried the state at this election.
Hndreds of people throughout the state
would not, or could not, write in the
names of the electors, and many of
them refrained from voting at all, while

others voted the Socialist ticket as a
protest against the discrimination
against them. This accounts in a large
measure. for the big Socialist vote in
this state. Those voters, manyO of
them, who had not been supplied with
the names df the Roosevelt electors.
or who found trouble in writing them
in and who did not understand how to
vote mixed ticket, and who would
not under any circumstances vote for
either Of the old parties, cast their
votes for the Socialist candidates pure
chisement.
Cites One instance.
"A case came under my personal OBJ
servation at LRkeview, in Bonner
county, where ono woman stood at
the polls on election day with q pencil
and tablet in her hands writing out
the names Of the Roosevelt electors for
voters as they came to the polls. No
printed slips had reached this precinct
and this woman went early to vote and
noticed this. She armed herself with
pencil and tablet and stood faithfully
at the polls and wrote out the names
for the information and benefit of her
fellow voters. The result was q big
Progressive vote in that precinct.
where. II she had not done this, that
vote would have been light because of
the discrimination against our ticket
by the supreme court decision.
"The enthusiasm and courage of
workers at the polls has never been
surpassed by that shown at some
places in north Idaho. At ST. Maries.
for instance, q heavy wet snow fell all
day. All day these workers stood at
the polls handing out slips with the
names of the electors upon them and
instructing voters how to vote. Some
of them remained from early morning
until the polls closed in this storm
without a bite to eat from morning
until night.

candidates by the Taft press all over

the state helped US materially without
doubt. Fair minded men and women
do not indorse that kind of campaign,
which was the only kind the Taft spe-
cial interest press of the state ap-
peared to know how to use. notice
they are still at It even since election,
twisting what our friends say into the
direct opposite of what Is said; mis-
representing our strength and purposes
and vilifying our candidates. The
vote that our candidates received
shows beyond shadow Of doubt that it
Is the intelligent vote of the state, and
therefore we feel that we have nothing
to fear for the future from such tactics
but everything to gain.
1T was q monstrous undertaking to
attempt to organize q party in less
than two and half months that we
had for that purpose. but we accom-
plished 1t and polled tremendous
vote. The state committee is under
lasting obligation to the devoted work
ers who aided in this work, to that
portion Of the state press which treated
the great movement fairly and which
gave 1t support, and to the people for
their intelligent discrimination as
shown by their votes"

Contract.

The contract for the lumber that
will be used in the construction of the
Baldwin Locomotive Co.'S fence has
been let to the Washington Lumber
and Coal company of Indiana Harbor
The exact figure is not made public

tween $4,000 and $1,000. This is for

The lumber has already been ordered
and its shipment will start in about
ten days. the lumber being delivered
on the ground in car load lots J. w
Reed of Hammond has the contract for
the building of the fence.
The Washington Lum Der company is
new concern, recently organized and
opened its offices a short while ago in
Park addition Its manager is A. H
Michaely and its officers G. j. Bader
president; Fred Smith, secretary and
John Schaub, treasurer.
The company was organized primari-
ly to supply the demands of building
