ONE MOVE MADE
 MORAN MANAGER OF
 PHILADELPHIA TEAM

They are saying in baseball circles that it was a single move made by Pat Moran, the new manager of the Phflhes,, a little more than a year ago, that gave MT. Baker the idea of mak- ing him manager.
 This move was in the famous game wherein Harry Mccormick made a single and won the game from the PhiIlies only to be made to come back and bat over because Umpire KIem was not looking Dooin was catching and with is back to the umpire, did not know that Kfem was not looking.

He gave Alexander the signal to pitch and Mccormick hit the ball.
 From the bench Moran;Sthen work ing as coach, saw the technical mis- take and immediately appealed to the unpire.5 MT. KIen promptly allowed his claim. When Mccormick was made to bat over he hit into g. double play and the Giants did not win.
 Ever since that day MT. Baker has kept in mind Morans exhibition of quick thinking and at last has found a chance to reward him..

New Haven, Nov. 2.-Candidates on the state ticket are optimistic about a Democratic victory tonnorrow.

 He estimates Governor Baldwin's majority at 17,500; Lonergan at D. 125; Mahan. of 1925; Reilly, s.200; Donovan, majority of 1,5O0, and Kennedy of $50. The entire state ticket will be elected he says, by a majority of @13ooO

From observation and talk with many people am led to elected by majority of from 5000 to 5000 votes. We will elect four out of five, and possibly 8 ftf con gressman.

that had quietly laid Cufee on the political
shelf.
1t came to pass in 1904 that the Democratic
leaders got ''tired OF being in the minority"
In the twinkling of an eye, they shed their
old skin, like lot Of snakes, and they came
forth from the National Convention gIori-
ously re-clothed In the garments of Roscoe
Conkling, James G. Blaine, Nelson Dingley,
Henry Cabot Lodge, James A. Garfield,
Rutherford B. Hayes, Thaddeus Stevens,
Charles Sumner, William Mckinley and
Theodore Roosevelt.
The whole country was astounded at this
Sudden change-this amazing metamorphosis
but what could be done?
The Democratic leaders had all turned in
the bed; the Democratic papers turned when
the leaders did; and the Democratic sheep,
spread over many pastures, could only wall
their eyes at the landscape, bleat at the unex-
pected transfer from range to range, and then
follow where the leaders led.
Need [ say that the heroic and vociferous
patriot, William Jenkins Bryan changed his
skin when the other serpents did?
Yes, Sir: William shed his old garment,
hid his book on "The First Battle" and went
to the Yellowstone Park to nurse a bruised
lung.
His affectionate brother, Charles Bryan,
accompanied his affectionate brother-in-law,
Thomas Allen, to New York City, in search
of medicinal help for the alleged bruised lung
of him, the said William Jenkins Bryan,

Why Is President Wilson Lending Army Navy

THREE months ago, one of our Peace-mis-
sion battleships brought ON blood-shed in
Mexico, because the Roman Catholic traitor
rebel, usurper and murderer refused to salute
our flag
The salute was claimed at Tampico, and the
fighting was done at Vera Cruz.
After the fighting our military forces took
possession of Vera Cruz
What for9
Those u. S. forces are kept at Vera Cruz
to protect the Spanish grandees and the Span
ish priests who have been robbing the enslaved
Mexlcans for centuries
The word "peonage" comes from that
oppressed land where the Roman Catholic
landlords and priests have held the natives
In cruel bondage for about 400 years.
A peon is a native Mexican who once owned
the soil, but who now works it for his Spanish
masters. The Spanish landowner and the
Spanish priest divide the spoil between them
selves. No Mexican can protect himself, or
his women, from the greed and the lust of
these Spanish masters.
Francisco Madero rose in arms against
these foreign masters, and after he succeeded,
the Span1ards tempted his trusted General,
Huerta, to betray him, and then to murder
him.
The Spaniards have been uphoding with
arms and money the traitor who deceived and
killed his chief
Generals Carranza and Villa set UP the
