The proposal by the Roosevelt crowd to
steal the electoral rights of the Repubiican
party has Just been passed upon by the SUI

Approves Mr.. yincent's Remarks.

Editor Richmond Virginian
have read in todays yirginan an article
written by Mr.. W Ii. Vincent of Capron. Va,
which gives real pleasure.
When men of vast means and business ca
pacty have the moral manhood to take the
stand he has it is bright encouragement to
every lover of the home, church and school
in old Virginia When the State Fair associ-
alton continues to thrust the liquor traffic in
the faces OF the church people OF the State as
il has done this year against their earnest pro-
test, then the church people who love the
church. home and school above the places of
vice and destruction should all stay away from
it, for when we patronize the fair we are aid
ing the liquor people TO damn every boy and
girl it get its death-dealng claws on.
shall never patronze any such association.

ENTRIES FOR TRIALS
 WILL CLOSE NOV. 1

Montgomery, October 19.-tSpecial.) )- Conditions are favorable for the annual meeting of the Southern Field Trials club. which will take place at Letohatchie the week beginning December 9, accord ing to the statement of John H. Wallace, Jr., secretary of the club. MT. Wallace is looking for the largest attendance this year in the history of the association, and he anticipates that the trials will be the most successful that will have been held in this state.
 Holding field trials in Lowndes has certainly put Lowndes and Letoilatchie on the map. Lowndes is the most writ ten about county in Alabama in the dozens of sportsmen's papers that publish accounts of and references to the field trials held at Letohatchie The hospital ity of the citizens there is -inimtabe, the amounts furnished field trial devotees are the best on the circuit and the accommo- dations are all that could be desired. This has been splendid season for quail, and game is particularly abundant on the clubs course this year.
 The Southern Field Trials club is at the forefront of organizations of Its kind in the Western Hemisphere. In many re- gards looking to the protection of the participants and in eliminating the faint est suspicion of anything unsportsman- like, it is pre-eminently the pioneer.
 Powhattan, the winner of the all-age stake at the first trials of this club, was the runner-up in the championship the next year. Commissioner, the winner Of the championship of 1912, was the winner of the all-age stake of the Southern Field Trials club in 1910: also in 1911s which is complete vindication of the decisions rendered by the judges of the Southern club. as well as high tribute to the clubs officials who have demonstrated rare ability in selecting well equipped and highly qualified judges.
 In recent years there has been much complaint arising from the contention that many dogs were run in trials in the Derby stake. that were over the Derby age In order to see that no participant in the trials of the Southern Field Trials club might ever be able to raise this point. a resolution was adopted at the last annual meeting of this organization requiring that all Derby dogs, entered in the trials of this club, be registered. The high ground taken by the Southern Field Trials club has elicited favorable com ment from all of the sportsmens papers
 of the continent and from the field trial
 world generally.
 Regarding this rule, the officers of the club today issued to the field trial world the following statement:

Both were recruited largely from former players on eastern squads and were secured in each case for the specific purpose of putting it on each squads most ardently hatred rival. Tech in the case of Georgia and Trans sylvania, then TX. U." in the case of Kentucky.
 Spectators at these historic contests aver that never were such grand spec tacles witnessed before or since. Both collected squads moved down the opposi- ton like grass until near the goal line where whether through lack of training or team work, doubtless both, the ,op- position would "blow'' and fail to come back. It was a memorable victory in eaen case for the ''other side.'
 The big cause of the real trouble in the Tech-Georgia game is stated to have been standing offer on the part of the promoters of the improvised outfit of a stated sum for the man who would first make touchdown. With the ball rushed inside the Tech five yard line. every man in the Georgia backfield grabbed for the ball. 1t is alleged, with the result that the backfield as whole piled up in a scramble among themselves for the muehly desired oval.
 At Kentucky State
 It was openly charged at the time that the Kentucky state aggregation, engaged especially for the occasion and imported at an enormous expense, was brought to Lexington by the sporting fraternity of that city. And it was also openly stated and freely that instead of recouping on finances as was anticipated by means of winning sundry wagers on the game the original packers of the enterprise were financial zwrecks after the fiasco was over.
