THE effectiveness of our primary
election law of Wisconsin was fully
demonstrated Tuesday, not to exceed
one in five really voting for the candi-
dates to the national conventions that
they desired. Many voted just for the
presidential candidates, others divided
their votes among the delegates, while
others, to be sure, voted both sets of
the democratic and republican dele
gates. 1t was a farce and shows to
what extent our reformers will go to
have something new to perplex the
voters. 1t is time that we returned to
the Australian ballot so that men can
vote intelligently. Watertown Leader.

A NEW water power law has been
Matched up for the coming special ses-
sion of the legislature they think
will pass the scrutiny of the supreme
court. Like the BICYCLING measure
which failed to stand up the aim is to
squeeze little more revenue for the
state from the capital that develop
and maintains these improvements.
Looking for something more to tax is
still the slogan.

THAT the nationwide movement for
the improvement of the public roads
involves large undertaking is indicat-

10000 miles of road must be improved
before the public road system can be
considered really efficient.

FROM the time the republican party
was started until his death, Abraham

GEORGETOWN BARS OUT
 ONE FOOTBALL RINGER

Georgetown university, which turns out good football teams, is agitated over developments which have just come to light regarding the status of one of this years best players, George RheinsehIld, the tackle, has been barred from any further participation in athletics at the Washington insti- tuion. It turns out that he has been receiving compensation for his ser vices, hence the stir.
 The University of Virginia authori- tiess it is said, ran across evidence that Rheinschild was being paid and laid the evidence before Father Xiii roy, the Georgetown faculty athletic adviser. The evidence came by way of California, and the story goes that Rheinschi1d confided to a friend on the coast that he was being paid to play, also that a woman in California figured in the detective work which brought the facts to light The Cali fornia friend mailed Rheinschild's let ters to the Virginia faculty.
 When Rheinschild was brought be- fore the Georgetown faculty he ad- mitted the charges and thereupon was barred. It is said of Rheinschild. however, that he is good student and a manly fellow was actuated by desire to get an education and was not of the ringer class attending college solely to play football. There probably Is more sympathy for him than for those who put the temptation in his way.

 Tt is all scheme of Murphy to doubIe-crass Joe Tinker said Chance. as manager. Murphy is depriving Tinker of the opportunity of manag- ing. the Cincinnati team just out of spite

 President Hermann has written Rog- CT Bresnahan that the Reds have claimed him Bresnahan is free to dicker, and the Red owners will likely wait until he Is heard from before the Chance matter is settled.

HARVARD HOPES
 TO BEAT DARTMOUTH
o,BRIEN WINS PLACE AT RIGHT
 END FROM COOLIDGE.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. n-Dart- mouth on Saturday. and Yale less than fortnight away; and Harvard will be nailed either as intercollegiate cham pdons or just plain also-rans.
 Saturdays game will come as a. sort of a prologue to the big show to be staged down New Haven way on the twenty-third- Undoubtedly the Grim son scouts have brought enough infor- nation into camp about the big Green team to already furnish the coaches a line on how it's plays are put in motion and where it's strength and, weakness lies
 The varsity have been silently working on these for the past ten days and are so confident that they have an anti-Dartnouth defense that is pretty near perfection that this week the major portion of the practices will be devoted solely to the formations stored up for the Yale meeting
 The regulars should present their real strength by Wednesday, Trura- bull should be back at right guard by that time. but Coolidge's place at right end appears lost to him, Substitute OBrien apparently being considered the better man.
 Ham" Fish is expected to join the coaching staff this week.

POLISH WRESTLER NOW CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP AND WILL
 DEFEND TITLE

Sporting Editor of The Farmer.
 As Zbyszko becomes the world's s wrestling champion, on account of Gotch's retirement, I would deem 1t a. great favor if you will announce through your valued columns. that the Pole will defend his title against any legitimate challenger All we ask of those wishing a. match is that they post a substantial forfeit. to guarantee fulfillment of the contract Enor- nous side bets and impossible purses have been demanded by former cham pdons when desiring to avoid dan gerous opponent. zbyszl1o will ask for neither, but will match at any time for percentage of the receipts, with anyone that. the press or public thinks worthy of a. chance at the ti- tie. In conclusion I wish to state that if at any time Gotc1 can pluck up cour- age enough to wrestle ZbysZko, will cancel every engagement in order to ob1ige him.
 YoNrs very truly,
 J. H. EEzRHTAN,
 Manager for XByszko.

It was one of the taking place as it did on good field absolutely free from spectators, the spectacle was inspiring.
 The teams were about evenly match ed in weight but in individual playing ability the Yosts had it all over the invaders. Ed Heating was a great success at the guard position; nf his own side of the fine but frequently crossed over and smashed play on the other side. Bunk Abbott" the gentleman with the shape like the back of hack, was wonder on the de- <ense ; Capt. Mccormick handled his breaking through and toppling the in terference. Another good man on the yost line was Carlson Several times he Battered down his , opponent ,,,,t ana
 Happy, Jack Hughes, the steady cen ter, played the whole game at the pivot position. The rock of Gibraltar hsd nothing on him when it came to standing off all corners.

 The stars of the backdeld were Ed- die Reilly at quarterback and Moshier at halfback Reilly was everywhere He did most Of the bunting and did 1t well.

caught Hogan at his old tricks and disqualified him. The disqualification caused a near riot and wound up with White severing his connection with the Madison A. c. Hogan was managed by Gil Boag. who at the time also was manager of the Madf- son A. C.
 Hogan was bitter because of the disqualification and said Cross was equally guilty and also should have been disqualified. Hogan clamored for a return match, On account of Hogan's poor showing in subsequent bouts Cross declined to box him, on the ground that match with Hogan would not be 8 money maker
 Since his trimming by Jack Brit ton, however, Leach has lost favor and snatched up the Hogan match as means of regaining some of his lost prestige. Hogan will dance the gazotsky with Cross in the West For ty-fourth Street Club, New York, on Thursday evening.
