.SIX-TEAM LEAGUE
IS SLOWLY DYING
Looks as Though the Mississip
pi Valley Organization
Will Not Mature.
ACCOUNT OF CEDAR RAPIDS
Merchants of Rock Island Talk OF
Forming Business Mems Club
to Play Ball.

Unless a city that looks as though
it can support team in six-club
baseball league, springs into exist
ence in short order, Rock Island will
not have any baseball here this sum-
mer-that is, in a six-club league.
Cedar Rapids action, unexpected as
ii is, has thrown every other propos-
ed city into the air on the PROPOSE
ton and this morning all thought OF
holding a meeting this afternoon was
thrown to the winds. Five teams
cannot form a league and make it a
go, and that is about the size of the
situation today. Unless some city
that has not been counted upon can
jump in and fill up the breach, Rock
Island is shy all of it's chances for
the national pastime.
MERCHANTS LEAGUE?
Now that the league proposition
has flunked again, business men are
taking up the proposition of forming
a merchants league. That PROPOSE
ton was considered a few weeks age
and it will probably be taken VI
again when the six-club project i:
finally discarded as a failure.

ALLEN TALKED
OF BILLY SUNDAY
HENRY J. ALLEN OF WICHITA,
kAs, EDITOR OF WICHITA 5EA-
CON, DISCUSSED BILLY SUN
DAYS REVIVAL HELD LAST
FALL IN THAT CITY z

Henry j. Allen of Wichita, Kans.,
was the chief speaker this noon at a
rousing meeting of the supporters OF
the Billy Sunday movement at the
commercial club, which followed a
luncheon that was largely attended by
many of the sympathizers Of the Sum
day revival that Is soon to be held
In Fargo. At the table which was
spread in the large assembly rooms
Of the club were many of the city's
most prominent business rnec %ho are
DESTROYS OF bringing the baseball
evangelist to the city.
Mr.. Allen was introduced by M. N.
Hatcher, chairman of the executive
committee of the William A. Sunday
association and the speaker gave his
audience an hour of entertainment in
the ccount of the work of Mr. Sun
day in Wichita, showing what the
result had been since the departure
Of the evangelist. Mr.. Allen is a
forceful speaker and is able to present
facts and statistics in a most inter-
esting manner, which he did this noon,
keeping his listeners hungry to hear
more about Billy Sunday M in a
good humor by his own little wit
ticisms.
During his discourse Mr.. Allen told
of his own conversion and of the night
he went forward down of the saw
dust trails to Billy Sundays altar and
of the effect the revival had had on
the business men of Wichita. He said
that since Mr.. Sundays departure, he
had sent one Of the representatives
of his staff out into the city to see
what the actual results had been, and
six weeks later had found that it was
almost a unanimous uniting with the
churches Of the men, women n chill
dren who had been converted during
the Sunday revival.
1T will make better business men
out Of every one of you here" said
Mr.. Allen. Billy Sunday will give ev-
cry church member a full knowledge
of his responsibilities to his W
church so that he may know better
how to fulfill them. The first two
weeks he will be here he will devote
to the church members, telling them
the essential things about their
churches. After hat he will get at the
siners.'
Those who attended the meeting
were much impressed with Mr.. Aliens
talk and several feel that a wrong
impression may have been conveyed to
the minds of a nUmoer Of Fargoans
who have not taken to the coming rec
vival in the full spirit of hearty CO.
operation. ...

CHANCE FOR N. DAKOTA
Continued From Page One.

10y OAAN
for success in other states where we
can win only with Roosevelt and
where the failure Of North Dakota to
give Roosevelt a sweeping majority
might j~eopardize chances for success.
We are past the point of mere per-
sonal preference between two such
splendid leaders. The pr~ogressives
there now owe it to the cau1e that they
be actuated only by the wise thing
to do to make the success of the cause
certain. From this standpoint no true
progressive should hesitate a moment
to conc nitrate all the progressive
strength on Roosevelt.
1t .ould be neither a reflection on
or a lack Of appreciation of Senator
LaFollette but simply the only right
thing to do at this ju~ncture. North
Dakota progressives have unusual
power to strike an exceptional blow in
behalf of the aus that both Roose-
welt and LaFollette champion and no
difference between the friends Of eth
er should be permitted to destroy
North Dakota's great opportunity to
insure the triumph of the progressives
within the republican party.
l campaigned for LaFoIlette for
senator and would do the same for
him for president If the situation was
reversed and he had the call of the
people as Roosevelt has, but he hasn't
and the Taft managers are counting on
comfort and support from the first ma
tional presidential primary there
through a foolish division of the pro-
gressives.
Many LaFolIette supporters I'M
doubtedly NEAR well but their mis-
taken policy If persisted in can only
give comfort to the enemy and jeo-
pardize the chances for success Of the
cause. / wire this as a devoted friend
and admirer Of Senator LaFollette as
well as Colonel Roosevelt, but first
I am more anxious for success of the
cause than that Of any man.
The ~progrsssives W it to the c
cess of the cause in the nation to give
Roosevelt a sweeping vote in North
Dakota. 1t means not only the best
victory for progressive policies but for
those who have championed them,
which Includes of course Senator La
Toilette as well as Colonel Roosevelt
Such a result will clinch victory in
other states where Roosevelt is now
almost sure to win and where Sena-
tor LaFollette could possibly win
Senator LaFollette could not get the
nomination if he got every vote il
North Dakota. If progressives divide
the vote there. North Dakota will dc
worse than throw away it's ~opportuni-
ty, it win simply give the best possible
comfort, support and satistl elton tt
the Taft forces. l have been east anC
south during the past few weeks and
know this is the view of Taft mana.

to you exactly as it is.

DYNAMITlNo CASE.

Philip Schuyler delivered his grafton
before the high school students on the
subject of the recent Dynamiting Ca
~tastrophies in Connection with the
Mcnamara Case. His clear, compre-
hensiye statement of the facts of this
famous case made for one of the most
interesting orations delivered at the
high school this year.
The speaker recounted most conn
pletely the series Of dynamite ex-
plosions, occurring in various parts OF
the country, which eliminated in the
destruction OF The Los Angeles Times
building. He told of the work Of de-
tective Burns and the discoveries
which lead to the arrest Of the labor
leaders. He also showed what an
important part Of the evidence the
alarm clock bombs constituted.
He told Of the harm done to the
union idea and concluded saying: '.The
whole case reveals that often the
working man IS well as the rich bond
holder is In the wrong, that m
times their unions are governed by
misconceptions men. People OF both the
rich and working classes should be
sure their cause is just, should In
yestigate and weigh the motives be-
fore they act and before they allow
themselves to become a party to
