Why Flynn is the Man
to Fight Jack johnson.

Why Flynn is the Man
to Fight Jack Johnson.
Many seem to think that because
Jim Flynn has been knocked out on
at least five different occasions he
is not the logical man or good choice
in the fuss at Las Vegas on the
Fourth.
When Jack Johnson showed the
world that an ex-champion can new
er come back white hopes"
sprang up all over the country, but
not one of them has been developed
or is showing anything like class in
the world of pugdom. Flynn, when
he fought these former champions
and near champions that scored
brackets against him, was little
fellow to be mingling with heavy
weights, but since that time he has
grown, not in stature, but in pound
age, going from 165 to over 200
pounds and people who have witness
ed him in action during the past two
years say that he has improved a
thousand per cent. Be that as il may,
he has cleaned up everything that he
has gone against and is the classiest
performer among the whites of to-
day. His performances alone have
won him the right to try to wrest
the championship from the Big Black.
Then another big factor is to be TAX
en- into consideration: the fireman is
under the tutelage of some of the
craftiest ring generals that ever
crawled under the ropes. Every trick
of the game is at their finger points
All the strategy and cunning of the
finished champion is theirs and they
are surely imparting some of these
fine points to Jim Flynn.
Ring history tells us that the grind
of hard training plays havoc with
men that lead life of ease and
gayest bypaths and highways of the
world during the two years passed
While Flynn has reached the zenith
of his career. He has trod the straight
and narrow path, of good behavior,
that leads to the highest goal-phy-
steal perfection.
Johnson may tumble over the Pue-
bio boy but every sign and all the
dope" points to the hardest battle
of his career.

COLORADO MAY SEND
TEDDY BOOSTERS TO CHICAGO
Special to The Herald.

DENVER, June 1.-THE split in
the Republican party has been ac-
centuated by the sending of dele
cation to Chicago to protest against
the seating of the regular delegation
chosen at the convention at Colorado
Springs in March. While the Roose-
welt supporters have no hope of being
seated in the national convention, they
anticipate that Roosevelt will either
be the regular nominee or will head n
boiling ticket and go before the vo-
ters at the election next fall, in which
case they will participate as the Colo
RADIO representatives of the ex-presi-
dent.
In Denver the party leaders have
come to the point where they realize
that all factions must be considered If
the state is to be added to the Re
publican column this year, and strong
efforts are being made to choose as
candidates men who have not affiliated
themselves with factions. 1t is real
lzed that the progressive element in
Denver must be recognized as well as
an effort made to bring the old time
leaders to the point where they will
treat with and work with the progress
sives in the coming fight, if the state
is to be won for the party.
Up to the present Mr. Symes is the
only man mentioned for the national
house, but candidates for the senate
are quite numerous. f. P. Costiran
and Merle Vincent have announced
themselves as progressive candidates,
and John W. Springer, Clyde Dawson,
Fred Roof and others are after the
conservative support. For governor
c. c. Parks of Glenwood Springs, Phil
Stewart of Colorado Springs and Hal
sted l.. Ritter of Denver are in the
field, with more hats ready to drop
into the ring as soon as the Chicago
convention has acted.

lAFIS WORkE WILL TRY TO
OFFSET TEDDY'S ATTEMPT
ED STAMPEDE

CHICAGO, June 12.-That many of
the lOl Taft delegates seated by the
steam roller committee will vote for
Roosevelt at the convention was dis
covered today which sent the presi-
dents workers into panic. 1t is pre-
dicted that at least fourth of those
awarded credentials would support
the colonel for their own protection.
These are men who are asking favors
of people in their home districts and
dare not vote for the nominee whom
their constituents ropudiated at the
preferential primaries. They know
where their political lives are, and it
appeared difficult task for the Taft
organization to fix on anything ac-
ceptable to offer them.
The panic revived talk among the
Taft followers of a dark horse. JUS
tice Hughes and Senator Cummins
were men most talked of.
The problem was to get twenty-five
or more uninstructed delegates who
favor Roosevelt tied up to a third
candidate and deadlock the convention.
10 the Roosevelt leaders the dark
morse boomers cried that the Roose-
velt-Iaft duel must surely wreck the
party, whoever won. The real rea-
son was the desire of Penrose, Barnes,
Crane, ct al. to beat Roosevelt and
save the bosses organization.
Brass bands, hundreds of marchers
In UNIFORM, thousands of shouting cit
lzens Will marke the first effort to
stampede uncertain delegates to Roos-
evelt at mass meeting at the Audi
torium theater Friday night. 1t is
hoped that Roosevelt himself would he
present. The Roosevelt vigilance COM
mittee will see to 1t that all the COL
oneFs delegates and all doubtful dele
gates will be escorted to the big the
ater and given seats of honor.
A dispatch from Pell City, Ala.
says {. d. Alverson, an instructed
Taft delegate to the national Repub-
iican convention, announced he would
vote for Roosevelt. In so doing he
said he felt he would be reflectinp
the wishes of his constituents. This
makes the third Taft delegate from
Alabama to announce himself for
PooEevelt.
CHICAGO, June 12.-John M. Stahl
the local secretary of the Farmers
National congress, today announced
that he had received the following
telegram from President Taft:
Il am strongly in favor of par
GELS post legislation on the lines of
The bill proposed by Senator Bourne.
The bill in its present shape fully
meets the views of the postmaster's
department. You can count upon nv
giving the bill every assistance in my
power"
CHICAGO, June 12.-With the
score standing 1O1 to l, the national
committee today buckled down for it's
last five days of contest hearings, its
hardest days. Night sessions are ar
ianged for, beginning tonight. One
hundred and fifty-two cases remained
to De heard when the California con-
tests were called and is now progress
ing. In nearly every instance deli
cate points of election law were in
volved.
If the steam roller continues its ay-
erage on the entire 252 cases it will
award Taft 249 1-2 delegates and
Roosevelt 1-2 delegates.
