to prevent the fight from being

Something heretofore unknown

Buick people have about 100 cars
stored above the fight club. They
claim there is no gasoline or in
f1ammable fluid in the machines as
they are new cars The fire chief
stated yesterday that these ma
chimes had been examined, but an
automobile man who has been in
that room says he could find gaso-
line in nearly every car stored
there. and that there is inhammable

people to have cars with gasoline

Will the fight promoters ask the

they can hold their little setto

They have asked the Pope Hart

DIVORCE the PHILIPPINES

One tremendous expense now
being borne by American taxpay-
ers that will be lifted in the event
of the election of Democratic
president and Democratic House
is the cost of governing the Phil
ippine Islands, which is the cost
being done against the desire of
95 per cent of the Filipino people.
Ten years ago Senator Hoar stat
ed in the Senate that up to that
time the cost had been $780, O0-
900. Since then We have kept in
those islands an average of IT,
27s troops. 1t cost the govern
ment 1900 annually to maintain
each soldier. The cost alone of
maintaining the military forces
in the Philippines last year was
over $40, 100000. 1t is safe to
affirm that the sum which would
be annually saved. were the Unit
ed States torelinquish sovereignty
over the Philippine Islands, would
not fall short of s5O,O00,0OO.
Divorcing of the islands and Re-
publican success means their re-
tention.
