EXIT THE BAGMAN.

New York will have its first YER
table direct primary election this
year, and the brisk business hereto
fore done by the political bagmen is
likely to get a serious jolt. The new
law declares that
No contributions Of money Cor the
'G'nyalent thereof made, directly or
Indirectly. 20 any party, or 10 any
pafty committee or member thereof,
IT TO any person representing or act
ing on behalf Of a party. or any
moneys now in the treasury Of any
party or party committee, shall be
expended in aid Of the designation or
nomination Of any person to be
'"ted Tor at a primary election,
either as a candidate for nomination
for public Office or for any party
rrysttiOn.
All primaries are, in other words,
0 be not only direct but spontaneous,
md without the use of any campaigp
lCnd. The bagnen can collect, rs
heretofore, by persuasion, by threats
or through the power of political
custom, but only for candidates
AFTER the people have nominated
them.
Each primary candidate in New
York, as in Illinois and other direct
primary States, must have his OWL
campaign fund as we'll as his OWL
"ampaign. He cannot fall back
uJoD his party; he cannot be made
regular" by having the inestimable
adYantage Of the use of party funds

point the big crowd too much. He
fastened on a hammerlock and brought
back the Turks arm until the crowd
gasped, then relinquished the grip.
Then he placed full nelson, bent the
big Turk almost double, but let him
escape. Other holds followed in rapid
succession. 1t was a splendid WORK
out-for Gotch, but not for karakanoH.
The Turk. was looking around for
nice spot on which to flop" He had
had enough. Gotch, however, saved
him that humiliation, forcing his
shoulders to the mat with reverse
body hold in IL minutes.
The officials had trouble persuading
the Terrible Turk" to come back.
He had been convinced He was look
ing about for his clothes. His mana
ger finally showed him back into the
arena and he came up as though
walking to his doom. Gotch went in to
see how quickly he could defeat him
in the second bout, and slammed him
to the mat with a resounding thud.
Karakanoff was too frightened to
wrestle. He was looking for some
avenue of escape. Gotch sat up and
the Turk leaped to his feet
GIVE had enough" he beckoned, as
he walked away.
Gotch caught him by foot and
tried to drag him back No, thanks;
no more for him. He was thoroughly
convinced.
Gotch sat down and smiled. He
beckoned the Turk to return, but Mr..
Turk did not pause in his flight He
was hunting his clothes. Gotch
could have the match, the money and
the honor, but Karakanoff wanted to
live in peace and quiet. He wanted
his hands for future use. That was
| the last Frank Gotch ever saw of Mr.
Karakanoff.
| Is it any wonder there have been
| few Terrible Turks since Gotch be-
came champion? There is only one
who deserves the name and he came
several years later. He is Bulgar-
ian and his name is Mahmout.

IN the season of 1865 Gotch had
some thrilling and at times humor-
Gus experiences in Canada, winning
the international wrestling tourna-
ment at Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa.
An incident he will never forget was
his encounter with a Turk grappler
by the name of Karakanoff.
This Turk had been hailed as about
the fercest thing that ever happened
In the way. of a wrestling demon. He
had defeated several strong men in
the tournament before Gotch appear
ed on the scene. Gotch had heard OF
the dire things that would happen to
him when he faced this mountain Of
graphing Drawn from the Bosporus.
It was not the Gotch habit to back
away from danger, so he agreed to
meet the Terrible Turk" to see
whether this wrestler were really half
human as alleged. There was rumor
afioat that he would strangle Gotch.
On April 6, 1906. they had it out in
packed pavilion at Sohmer's park,

The trouble for Karakanoff lasted
Just IA minutes.
When DR.. Gadbois blew his little
whistle announcing the start of hos

ing fashion as though he might belong
to the carnivorous species of the hui
man family. Gotch, however, was not
there to be eaten up. In just about Is
seconds he discovered what the Turk
did not know about wrestling. Then
he dashed In, side-stepped a fierce as
sault and brought Karakanoff to the
mat with a waist hold.
The Turk possessed one redeeming
ouality-great strength. He lacked
expert knowledge of wrestling, but
was powerful He could lift ton,
Gotch thought, but Gotch was not
there to be lifted.
After Karakanoff had struggled in
vain to rise, he stretched out and
waited for something to happen.
Gotch decided to have some fun. He
