after his election in 4 904, and make 81
tremendous hnllaboo over it, The
statement referred to is as follows
on hezfourth Of March next, I shall

5Yelt's sincerity when he made this
statement. He had no idea that there
would be such a change In circumsi
stances as would render it necessary
to once more accept the leadership of
his party
But a large number of his party,
and the Saturday News believes it to
be a majority, believed that necessity
has arisen,s and that he is the only
man who ea avert a defeat. He has
therefore s decided that, should the
nomination be offered him he will acss

turning against himself, and therefore
showing a weakness, and the most will
be made Of it.
their minds. ~ is only the rockrib-
bed bigot who does not. Progress. has
come only by change. There are
many instances recorded in the bible
where the ruler Of the universe had
changed fromSa declared purpose. Had
he not done SO, the children of Israel
would have been destroyed many
times. 1t was only at the intercession
Of Moses that5sthey were saved, With
such an example surely no fault can De
found with Mr.. Roosevelt for changing
his mind, 3.5
The third term bugaboo is rot.
Washington is continually quoted as
being opposed to it, but he distinctly
stated that he would not have refused
to be a candidate for a third term il
he had felt the situation demanded it.
Grant was not defeated for a third
term because of any unwritten law
against it, but because of the weak
ness Of his administration. 1t was the
hostility Of his party that defeated a
third term for Cleveland If the peo-
pie want Roosevelt for president he
will be elected. It is the man and
the principles he stands for that they
will vote for, and they will not be in.

Swanson Writes
Of Recent Match
Henry, s. D., March 5, 1912.
Mr.. Barker,
Z The Saturday News, &
Watertown, S. D,

Dear Sir,
Having read the article published iii
the CastleWood Republican in regard
to my match with Otto Suter which
took place at CastleWood, / would like.
to say few words concerning the
match. ;5sg
The match was for purse of s751
and Suffer also had a side bet of 500
with a business man of Henry. I had
nothing to do with the side bet and
was meeting Suffer for the purse only
The match was billed for finish
match and when We had been on the
mat three hours without a fall, Suter
offered to call the bout a draw. was
all in and also had a chance to save
the side bet for my friend SO j con.
scented to a draw st5S
! have had several matches at Castle
wood during the past year and will say
that l never wrestled before a better
or cleaner bunch OF fans and when.
the bout had gone three hours most
of them wer satisfied with the bout
and the only kicking that was heard
was by o couple of promoters who evil
IDENTIFY came UP to the match expects
ing to see nothing short of a murder
and seemed to be badly disappointed
that there were no bones broken, Sd
Now if my friend of the Republican
will read the Police Gazette rules for
wrestling which is the standard au-
thority for all matches in this country:
81 think he will find that after a match
goes three hours without a fall i'll
shall be called a draw. never like
to wrestle draw match, but when
you cant beat a man what are you
going to do? Lay down just because
you can't beat him2 a 10 much! I'd
rather wrestle draw any time and
get what ! got at Cast eWood nothing
than to lay down to a man because.
I couldn't beat him myself, and take
the short end Of the purse that they
put up for the match
I also note that the writer stated
that i demanded a division Of the
purse. want to say right here that
] made no such demands, but told the
promoters that II they thought that the
fans didn't get their moneys worth
that ! was satisfied to have them give
them back their money But the
promoters made no effort to do 50.
m conclusion will say that if the
wrestling game in castleWood has.
been killed that the promoters have
no one to blame but themselves
Respectfully,
Oscar Swanson.
