that in California, as in Oregon, South
Dakota and North Dakota, the dele
gates all should be elected at large.
Al parties and all factions acquiesced
in the law and the supporters Of the
three Republican candidates for pres
ident mads a campaign throughout
the state. Mr.. Taft sent a special
letter TO California which showed his
entire acQuiescence in the law.
There were no candidates in the
districts at all and until after the pri-
mary was held there was not a sug-
gestiOn made about the district de-
eeates. The Taft members OF the ma
tional committee now seat two Taft
men, saying they come from the fourth
district As ala. Ter OF fact, II pre-
cincts in the fourth district overlap
the fifth district and TO man on earth
can tell what the vote Z the fourth
district was.
After the primary every decent man
in California acquiesced, but a lieu
tenant OF Mr. Patrick Calhoun, the
man whom Mr.. Heney indicted, has
made the contest and the national
committee actually has seated two
Taft-CalhOun delegates from Califor-
MIA, although there were no district
candidates, and although no human
being can say what the vote was in
that district V hich these men claim
Il ask that the decent voters of the
country read judge Lindsey's book
on The Beast and the Jungle study

significance Of the action Of Messrs.
Crane, BROKER & company, in back
ing up Mr. Stevenson. OF these 81 ma

of Massachusett which, however. re-

Chicago, Jan. Slack johnson and
Jim Flynn have been matched here for
a finish fight to be held in Nevada
next July. The tentative date selected
is July 22- The city in which the fight
will be held will be selected later.
johnson was guaranteed $4,000
and one-third the moving picture re-
ceipts for his share. Both agreed not
between May and the date for this
fight. This means Johnson's fight
with Sam McVey will be postponed.
Year and Half Since Fight.
It Is IS months since johnson sud
denly turned from big smiling darky
into black tiger and crushed the
fight out OF the California. boilermaker
in the fifteenth round at Reno. From
that day to this Jack has not swung
a glove at anybody except in play on
the stage. It is high time he is fight
ing and proving he still is the cham
piOn and for that reason the boxing
public will take great interest in the
iormalities.
Two Nevada men posted $4,000 in
real money to convince all concerned
they can pull off the match. Johnson
and Curley put up substantial rolls of
bills as guarantees of appearance. This
money all is to be placed in a local
bank. Now the public is able to set
tie back and wait for the day when
the game fireman steps out to fight
for tn white race" against the ebony
master of boxing.
Johnson got an offer today of a
SIS, 900 guarantee from New York for
a ten round meeting with Joe jean
nette there. He promptly refused and
told the Gothamities to raise the ante.
Eddie Smith as Referee.
The matter of referee will not be |
discussed until ten days before the |
match, though both Jack and F'lynn's |
manager declare that Ed w. Smith, |
sporting editor of the Chicago Ameri- /
can is a suitable third man. F'orfeits |
to $4,000. $4,000 each |
were posted by the fighters and the |
club and are in the hands of a reliable |
stake holder. Should any Of the three |
parties concerned in the match decline /
to go through with the promise, his
forfeit is to be equally divided between
