be required to vote the straight prest-
Dental, congressional. State and legis-
lative tickets. but that, having done
this, an elector should not have his
vote in the senatorial primary chal-

some certain township constable or
other minor candidate. He believes
that the action OF the committee viii!

paign workers in this campaign In
seeking TO win converts from the d.
yided ranks OF the Republican party

committee who entertained much the

TURNER SHOULD
TAKE ON DODGE
All Quibbling Now Simply Gives
Black Eye to Wrestling
Game.

Followers Of the wrestling game in
Richmond are almost a unit in the
opinion that the wrestler who shall
go against Joe Turner In the bout to
be given free of charge to those who
paid to see the Turner-Dodge fiasoo
is none other than Tom Dodge.
Dodge, through his manager. very
manfully came to the front, admitted
that he disqualified himself by biting
Turner, though he holds the biting
was unintentional, thereby losing to
Turner the match and the gate re-
ceipts last Friday night. Under the
circumstances. Dodge offered to make
a side bet with Turner for a match
to be given free of charge to make
amends for the unsportsmanlIke event
of Friday night. II the wrestlers put
up side bet no one would lose ex-
cept the wrestler who lost the match.
At the eleventh hour, SO to speak.
comes Turner with an apology for the
fasco in which he profited to the ex-
tent Of the gate receipts. suggesting
a match along the terms named by
Dodge: but he demands that the
wrestler chosen by George Herbert,
tn epromotor, or the newspapers weigh
not more than 15s pounds.
ManifestIy this proviso is to pre-

Turner would go against.
