Fine Time had Here on
July 4th
All Sports and Races Pulled
off According to
Schedule.

The 4th of July celebration which
was pulled off in this city last Friday
was one of the best that has been
held in the city in years and every
one who remained at home and those
who came here from other places en-
joyed the sports and entertainment
provided for them by the committee.
The day started out with the
weather threatening but during the
morning the sun began to break
through the clouds and the day
opened up bright and clear. The
day was started with concert by
the Washburn City Band at nine
o. clock after which the races followed.
The most exciting of these was the
auto slow race in which O. A.
Lamoreaux with his Cadillac car
captured the prize, and the motor
cycle race won by Ed. Williams.
There was also running races of diff
ferent descriptions which held the
crowds.
At about noon hour the clouds be-
gan rolling up again and for a time it
looked as if the events scheduled for
the afternoon would have to be called
off but only very little rain fell and
the events were pulled off according
to schedule. The first thing on after
dinner was the boxing contest at the
base ball park. The main event OF
this contest was ten round affair
between Mike O'Keefe of Superior
and Godfred Johnson of this city,
being won in the 7th round by john
son. The management is entitled to
good deal of credit for the way this
match was pulled off for there was
absolutely no rowdyism during the
entire time and the crowd was very
orderly. Many women attended the
contest.
Following the contest the ball
game between Washburn and Mason
took place and was won by the local
team by a score of eight to three.
The local team had the better of the
game all the way through but never
| theless it was a contest worth seeing.
After supper George Glacier gave
an exhibition of log rolling near the
elevator dock and this proved inter-
esting to many who had never seen
the stunt in the water. A good
match had been planned between
the Washburn man and rollers from
Ashland and Odanah but the outside
men failed to put in an appearance.
In the evening there was dancing
parties at the Garden Hall and the
Armory and both places enjoyed fair
crowds despite the inclement weather
during the evening.

The second choice should be ap-
piled to general elections before
the organization of new parties
is made easier. This is the po.
sition taken by many in regard
to the Axel Johnson bill to make
easier the launching of new
parties and the L. l.. johnson
bill to extend the second choice
bill to general elections. The
Republican state platform pro-
misses legislation along the line
of the Axel Johnson bill, and it
was passed by the assem- bly,.
The L. L. Johnson bill, however,
was laid on the table, with the
expectation that it would stay
there, the assembly passing a
bill to repeal the second choice
even for primaries. This latter
bill was killed in the senate.
The reasons advanced for
facilitating new parties only
when the second choice is ex-
tended to general electors are:
The more numerous the parties
the more probable is minority
rule, just as the more numerous
the candidates in a primary
without the second choice, the
more likely a minority nomin.
alton.
Instance of the benefit of a
second choice in the general
election is Milwaukee county,
where there are three strong
parties, and the non.partlsan
laws were passed to endeavor to
correct the situation.
If the organization of new
parties is to be made easy and
any faction dissatisfied with
some one or two items in the
program of the party is to be
enabled to Immediately launch a |
new party organization, the
second choice is likely to be
necessary at any general election
to prevent a minority election
and the defeat of a great many
issues upon which a great ma
jority OF the people of the state
are united.
The second choice provision
for general elections may be
attached to the new party bill in
the senate as an amendment,
and the two propositions in that
way meet passage or defeat to.

the hope that they may be trans

1t was awful-simply awful to
see the loca! team go down to defeat

yesterday; but. in place of looking
like ball game, IL looked more like
a marathon race; that is, in the sew

coal diggers, Johnson, who was
pitching for the Smudgers, was GO
ing in good form up to thise time;
but number of errors showed up
behind him, and these. in connection
with few hits, put five men over.
This game seemed to be featured
all the way through by errors on
both sides, but the Smudgers seemed
tn get the worst of ii all the time.
AT the beginning of the session 1t
looked like ii would be one of the
best games of the year, for at that
time the first three men on each
team went out at first; but right af-
ter this 1t was all over, for both
teams got busy and slipped a few

Der of errors put the game on ice for
the Miners. After this inning no one
