CONSUMER VS.. PRODUCER

One of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of the labor organiza- ,
tons of to-day is an opposition
to the non-producors ofthc day
occupying the offices and place
Of trust aud profit They, the
working people of this great
State, have il now in their
power TO put into execution
this plea for justice.
Among the five gentlemen
who are seeking denomination
for GOvernorou the democratic
ticket at the August primaries
are four lawyers, excellent gen.
tlcmen. and men of the very
highest type, but who ever
heard Of a lawyer being classcd
as a producer of anything but
wealth for himself. On the
other hand we have Mr.. James
\. Houchin, one of the five.
who is strictly, and i'm every
sense of the word a producer.
Mr. Houchin, besides being q
successful manufacturer, en-
plOying hundreds ofmon. is also
farmer and a stock raiser,
owning two of the finest Stock
farms in the country, and Is
breeding and producing the fin.
est horses in the world, cod
kcntuck" not excepted.
Now. to be fair, how can any
working man argue for the up.
lift of the producing classes oI
this state. and vote for any ono
except Mr.. lIouchin. who meas.
ureS up to their standard in
every particular as a producer
AM an employer Of labor. He
employs mole men at good
wages than all the other candi-
dates combined. In this article,
it is not the intent to speak dis.
paraginglyofa fanny Of the excellent
gentlemen who are aspirants
for the honorable position OF
Governor of this great state,
but simply to call the attention
Of the working class and far
mers to the fact that they have
an opportunity to cast their
votes for a producer, and one
in every sense in perfect har-
mony with the arguments of all
labor and farmers organiza-
tons on this particular point.
The only way to be fair with
yourselves and practice what
you preach, is for working men
and farmers to vote for James
A. Houchin for the democratic
nomination for Governor at the
August primaries.

 It will be seen the names of the Charts and Red Scx arc included. Though those teams have not com pleted their series. today they have so lar outstrctched their nearest Op- poncnts, that no amount of lucky wins could hurl the league leaders from their places at the top. In the case of the Cotton States league, there are two champions Ordinarily, when two clubs end the series with even honors, they play the tie off in a post season series; but in this case that was not done, and the money and honor was divided be- tween the clubs of Vicksburg and Columbus.
 Still undecided is the championship of the Pacific Coast league. The sea son is longer than any other set of clubs on account of the excellent weather that prevails on the western edge of America. Starting with the first series on April 2, the Coast schedule runs throughout the life of baseball in the other less fortunately situated leagues and will not end un- til October 27. By curious mix UT lately, the leadership has been ren- dered very uncertain. Vernon was leading with Los Angeles following rather laggardly some distance be- hind The Angels gradually crept UT followed by the Oaks, the leaders earlier in the year, then in a single day the third runners hurdled both the teams ahead and ran in first place for a while Vernon was thrust into third place by the same series and they have been hanging on by a hair ever since. Many say that the metropolis of the south has much the best team. Oakland is strong but not considered husky enough to beat out both the contenders just below However, stranger things have hap pened in baseball, and for all anyone can say, there may be no real change in the present standing

Brooklyn President has New Plan for
 Drafting Players

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A new meth cd of drafting ball players for class A leagues will be recommended to the national commission at it's next regular meeting by President c. H. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club. He de- clares that the present grab bag plan is all wrong, being unfair alike to the major league clubs which need new material and to the good minor league players who fail to graduate into fast company. Eb betts' plan is as follows:
 Let the American league, for in stance, take the odd numbers, 1, 3, ,, etc. for each club, while the National league clubs are numbered ,, 1, 6, etc. Assign these numbers in accordance with the order in which the teams finish. Give No 15 and No. 16, the tail-end clubs first chance at all the players sub ject to draft In that way each team will have an excellent chance Jo se- cure desirable talent and will not be compelled to take players that really are not needed"

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-As far as figures go on the Giants and Red Sox, there is little to choose from While Boston has scored the most hits, the Giants have more runs to their credit
 On the fielding the Red SOx have the edge, as the Giants defensive work has been wobbly. The Giants are also ahead in home runs, but this may be accounted for by the fact that National league parks in the main have shorter fences than American league parks. The figures or Sentember 20.

 YALE FOOTBALL TEAM
Coaches Abe ndon Short Forward Pass as Result of Wesleyan
 Game

NEW HAVEN, Oct 5.-The task of building over Yales eleven, where to remedy the numerous defects shown in the game with Wesleyan, is being undertaken by the coaches from the ground up.' The short forward passes, which proved un- successful have been abandoned and Q program of entirely new forma- tions and new styles of play is to be inaugurated. More time is to be devoted to the kicking end of the game, which appears to need atten- ton.
 For the present there will be no radical changes in the lineup. The coaches are still looking over the student body for new material. es- pecially for the scrub contingent. The weakness of the second team is charged with helping to retard the development of the regulars.
