CONGRESSMAN YOUNG

The Times-Record has referred to
our townsman, George NJ. Young, a
number of times during the primary
and general election campaigns this
year, always in complimentary terms
and at all times advocating his cleo
tion to congress. We are therefore
pleased to notice that the judgment
of the Times-Record was ratified not
only by the people of Barnes conuty
by a majority of over 1000, but also
by every county in the district by
good majorities, including Griggs
county, which went democratic from
president to constable.
Before Mr.. Young takes the oath
of Office he viii be AZ years old. He
was born December 18th, 1870. While
not one of the original pioneers of
the state more than half his life has
been spent on the North Dakota
prairies, making him thoroughly con-
versant with the needs of the people.
Mr.. Yonng was elected state repre-
sentative in 1900 and reelected to
the same position in 1902. In 1904 he
was elected state senator and served
during the sessions of 1905 and 1907.
In 1908 he WAS candidate for con-
gress as a progressive republican. At
that time the state had not been di-
vided into congressional districts and
while he failed by a small margin to
carry the state, he did receive ma
jority of those counties which now
make up the Second congressional
district. In 1910, placing the success
Of the progressive cause above per-
sonal ambition, Mr. Young refused to
be candidate for congress, believing |
that it might defeat Mr.. Helgesen,
and his refusal was made notwith-
standing the fact that the central
committee of the progressive repub-

GREAT FUTURE
PLANNED FOR CHAU-
TAUQUA ASSEMBLY

Beginning Saturday, June 28th
1913, and continuing until Sunday
July 18th, inclusive, the third annual
assembly of the Valley City Chautau
qua promises to be an unqualified
success. - s.. ed .D.-., .......
While nobody can forecast the char

we shall have in 1913, it is nexerthe
less foregone conclusion that The
Chantauqua will be immensely popu
lar.
\ Prompted by the large measure o1
success attending the first two as
sem1jlies the association now proposes
to establish a permanent institution
ON 4 broad, comprehensive and busi
nesslike basis. With this end In view
plans have been made and are being
quietly but steadily worked out to pro
vide first class accommodations in the
matter of grounds and permanent
buildings. The preliminary work is
already done, demonstrating conclu
sively that there is widespread and
deep-rooted sentiment in favor of the
project, and that the people of this
city and of Barnes county as whole
are willing to back the enterprise
financially in the most liberal man
ner.
The aim of the management is to
make Valley City Chautauqua an in.
tellectnal center for disseminating the
ripest opinions of the best students
on all subjects of human welfare; to
furnish the results Of investigation in
all fields of scholarship and worthy
endeavor; to establish a great per-
manent summer school where all
classes may receive Inspiration, edu-
cation and entertainment at nominal
cost, while at the same time en-
joying delightful summer outing.

One of our exchanges gives a good
pen picture of the subject OF this
sketch -
"Mr. Young is and has been q pro-,
gressive. He is fearless champion
of the rights of the people and has
stood for progressive republican prin-
ciples when the cause was in the mi
nority, as we'll as standing for them
when the cause has been in the ma
jority. He is an able speaker of
directness and force, confining him
self when speaking to facts, putting
them pertinently and convincinxly,
going to the heart of matters at once,
and will be a member of congress
who win reduce rather than increase
the size of the congressional record.
He will when in congress serve the
very best interests of the people of
the entire state without regard to
party. He is a progressive tariff re-
visionist of the republican persuasion
and will do all in his power for a
reasonable revision that will protect
the interests of the people, check
mate and root out monopoly, and at
the same time do no harm to legiti-
mate business. He will support meas
ures in congress without regard to
party label and only because of their
Importance and worth, and will op-
pose any proposed legislation that is
without respect to party
label or af1liation. He will represent
the people at Washington in the true
sense of the word and in it's broad
est application.

AL PALZER HAS MADE
VERY RAPID STRIDES

Al Palzer, the Gotham heavyweight,
must be given lots of credit for the
rGpid strides he mas made in the prize
ring since his entry short time ago.
Palzer came to New York from Iowa
es a wrestler to make his fortune,
but he found the road rocky. lie later
decided TO take up boxing. Tim
.O'Rourl<e took him in hand and he
as been coming ever since. HIS
first real bout was with Frank Moran.
Falzer knew little about fighting. but
stayed ten rounds easily. Next he
nearly knocked out Tom Kennedy, who
was given u drubbing by Carl Nor
ris a few weeks ago
He then put "Soldier" Delaney away
in three rounds; fought Kennedy ag in
and wound w his series of battles by
knocking out Al Kaufman. Palzer is
still developing and soon will make
the Lest OF. them hustle. Palzer is =
feet inches in height and weighs 2lS
pounds. O'Rourke says that Palzer
is the best man physically he has seen
stripped in many days "He is built
like battleship," says Tom, "and
you can't hurt him by punching him in
the stomach, which you know is tho
most vulnerable spot on a fighter"

New York, Jan. 11.-George Mac
Donald, the manager OF the English
champion Matt Wells, left today
aboard the Lusitania for England. AL
though he has been endeavoring to
arrange some star boxing bout since
mis- arrival the real purpose OF his vis-
Il was to try to purchase two crack
horses. Zeus and Novelty, from Chas.
Kohler, the man who bought the cream
Of Sam Hildredth's stable. M
Macdonald says that his mission
here. as far ss buying the horses, was
4 failure. but as Kohler Is taking pas
sage on the same steamer. there may
still Ire hope of Macdonald arranging
the deal.
When Macdonald returns here, in
about three or four weeks, he will
bring with him Matt Wells. and Bonn
Eadier Wells. the heavyweight cham
pion, and II is his intention to match
the latter, with Carl Morris.

Champion Gofch is
In Class By Himself

The wrestling game, right now
striroed of pressworlk, namboyancy
and other frills is simply this: Frank
Gotch. Outside OF Frank Gotten
there are no great wrestlers. There
Is a vast multitude Of near Gotchcs
going around the country, calling
themselves wrestlers, naming them,
selves a. champions of this and that
community There is still a vastei
multitude OF boobs whose chief
boobery is to pay money to see
wrestling matches"
BUT
Outside OF Frank Gotch there are
no wrestlers.
Outside OF matches booked by
Gotch there are no wrestling matches,
so states an eminent authority on tho
sport, and then he continues:

Present Management is Through and

Promise a Team Here.

If Marion is to be represented in
organized baseball with a berth in
the ohio State league, Marion fol-
lowers of the game must get busy
and secure results in double quick
time. As the proposition now stands
the only salvation for baseball next
summer is for local fans to finance
the club.
And this should not be hard task
providing men can be found who will
take the initial steps and then keer
the ball rolling until the season
starts, for, financially and in every
other way, the status of baseball af-
fairs is in far better shape than at
uny other time since the game was
lnaugurated in this city six years
ago, despite the. heavy blow handed
the city by the national commission.
Secretary T. II. Allen returned
from Columbus last night after talk
ing with the officials of the league
at the meeting of the Ohio state
magnates yesterday afternoon but
about all he had to say concerning
the meeting, was that the outlook
for baseball in Marion is gloomy
one for the simple reason that there
is no one to take hold of things. The
mon, whose untiring efforts have pro.
vided baseball for the local fans for
the past six years, claim they are
through and are ready to turn what
is left of the club. free from encum-
brances of any kind, to any one who
will promise team for Marion.
At the present time, there are
claims against the Marion territory
amounting to about $500 but these
claims will be satisfied in the near
future.
Seven berths in the league are now
occupied and the eighth will be held
open for a time in order that the Ma
rion baseball men may decide wheth-
er or not they want baseball this
coming season, Ohio State officials
are reluctant to give up Marion, al
though four other cities with sub
staTSial financial backing, are clam
oring for a place in the league. In
the past, this city has been the main
stay Of the circuit and. being a char
ter member of the present organlza-
ton, is deserving of treatment Of that
sort but the city that comes across
with the cold cash will be the city
that will be given the eighth place
In the league and it behooves local
fans to get busy.
Prospects for a successful baseball

season in Marion were never better.
The coming OF the Erie luen, the In
crease in the number of worl<men
in newly established shops, the re-
organization OF the Marion club-are
all indications Of boom which is
bound to land this spring and II Is
hard to figure why team should not
be supported.
There is another reason why base
ball should not be a losing PROPOSE
ton. At its last session, the national
baseball commission increased the
draft price which shall be paid for
players in leagues OF class ID from
$500 10 $500. From two to four
players have always been drafted o.
sold in the past and the drafting or
sale of one or more players in the
future would overcome any deficiency
which might exist at the e7d of the
season.
