To the Democrats of Lafayette
County:


There is a nationwide senti
ment against favor-seeking in.
t@erests financing political cam
vaigns, and the most w~le-
some way to throttle that insid-
lous encroachment upon the
rights of those who ,ant JUS
ice substituted for favoritism
IN the affairs of government, is
for the individual citizen to
realize that a responsibility
ests upon him to contribute fl
financially for the furtherance Of
those political ideas that are
consonant with his own views
Of justice in government affairs.
The frank and positive refusal
of Misouri's candidate for pres
ID MT, Hon. Champ Clark, TO ac-
,ept campaign donations from
fashionable sources, brings the
iuast'on Of the people financing
unpaigns squarely up to those
who are demanding justice as be-
]ytJn organized monopoly on
one hand and the everyday citi-
zen on the other.
1t is perfectly clear to all sen
sib!e men That no campaign, nat
ional in it5 scope, can be con
Quoted without the legitimate ex-
penditure Of quite a lot Of money.
If we want a president of and
Tor the common people, we. the
everyday citizens must
on5ribute modestly to see that
he candidate who most nearly
apresents our ideas is given a
square opportunity to win
lpon the issues and his merits.
The attitude of Speaker Clark
hould appeal to honest men Of
very political faith, and his
positive enunciation of such a
principle should quicken the
conscience and loosen the purse
}trings Of every honest reformer
Lafayette county. AS chair
aan and secretary of the Lafay-
tie County Democratic Commit
Zee, we have decided to inaugur-
tie an opportunity for Lafayette
ounty people to contribute to

accordingly have mailed sub
%scription blanks out to the var
Gus voting precincts. We espec
tally urge all thosse Interested
not to wait for the paper to be

luire about the subscription and
make their contributions early.

The annual battle between Yale and
Harvard this year should be one fit for
the gods. Experts who have seen the

Harvard has an edge on the Bulldog,
and that Old Eli will be lucky to es-
cape a good sound thrashing. They
point to the ease with which the Grim
son cleaned up on the champion Tiger:

Princeton put up a far sitter fight
than their 6 to 1 tally indicates. The
champions were beaten out through
Harvards expert kickers. Brickley's

proved him one of the most expert goal
sharp shooters of modern times. Fell
tons great punting, however, was in
its own fashion as deadly to Prince
toms chances as was the toe Of Brick

Dewitt was plainly OF color in his
booting and on every change of punts
the Tigers lost from 10 to 20 yards.
FELTON, has spiral punt which was
aided by the peculiar air currents Of
the Stadium. The Tiger players were
completely nonpulsed at handling Fell
toms kicks. Sometimes the boots were
misjudged several yards. While Har-
wards victory was clearn-cut 1t was
poor play by Princeton that left many
Of the openings. There might have
been. different story had the jun
galeers been favored by little more
luck before the the Crimson solved Old
Nassau's forward pass. Clean catches
of two wonderful throws by Andrew q
would have spelled two more toucli-

was directly due to q tumble by De-
Witt almost at his own goal line on a

will probably be side issue to the

been transformed from a rarity to a
common occurrence.
What makes 1t worse in Ads case Is
that fighting is as the breath OF his
nostrils. He possesses the typical
pugilistic temperament and 1t would
require something more depressing
than the jab of surgeons knife ~
Undue him with the idea that the earth
held better fighter than himself at
equal poundage.
Flattersd His Vanity.
In his heyday he had everything to
fiatter this vanity-for vanity 1t Is.
He was among lightweights what Tod
Sloan was among jocks. He had a
full grown man cast in small mould
and while training never had to coddle
himself in any way or provide against
the effects OF reducing weight.
He could go right along about his
work knowing that he would be at the
right poundage when the grind OF
preparation came to an end. He was
formed on symmetrical lines and pos
sessed all the strength that II was
possible for a man Of his weight to
possess.
He was in fact the ideal 1873 FOUNDER
and when 1t Is considered that there
are few fighters in any class who do
not have to weaken themselves to some
extent to remove the excess that ac-
cumulated between contests It can
readily be understood how Wolgast's
natural advantages, combined with his
indomitable fighting spirit. made him
feel and perform like man who was
every inch and every pound q cham
pion.
The idea is beginning to prevail that
Wolgast's fine physical powers have
suffered and that his exalted opinion
OF himself remains intact II It Is that
way. of course he is bound to strike
trouble before long. But it will not
do to begin singing his requiem until
he is down and out.
Courage and self-reliance, such as
he possesses. tide a man over many a
tight place in life and it may be that
stands" In the pugilistic line and sets
a championship date and keeps II in
view, he may cause those who are pre-
dieting his downfall 70 change their
tune.
He may not be as good as he was,
but at that. carefully trained, he may
retain enough of his former ability to
stand for all challengers. For. truth to
tell, there are no particularly promis-
ing lads In the present array OF cham
pionship candidates.
