 Anti-Sufrrag1sE.)

Before we force the ballot upon the women of Connecticut, let us see what 1t is doing to upItft politics in the western states. This quotation is not from prejudiced anti. but from Professor Earl Barnes g woman suf- frage authority. Professor Barnes says:
 Tn Idaho as in Colorado the pay ment of women political workers seems to have become rather vide spread abuse. k Under the conditions of the state. with many new settlers constantly arriving, 1t has long been thought necessary to employ paid workers to register voters. get them out on election day and influence those who are uncertain. After 1896 wo- men were often hired to do this work ana were paid from three to five dol- IaEe . day. With their weak sense of party affi1iation 1t Is claimed that they will work for the party that pays bent A candidate with plenty of menay may hire so many workers tka1 1e becomes 8 system of whole sa1e hz1bery. It is universally con coded &1hat t14s is an abuses and that nny women look on election service zas e source of pin money to a degree thm& tB undesaratb1e-'r

there was nothing left but to admit that MT. King had delivered the goods. He is now in line for a match with Jimmy C1abby. who is acknowI- edged champion in America, for the worlds title. If such a contest could

FREEMAN, FORGOTTEN FIGHTER, ESS-A CENT
 ED INTO PUGIIISM

Tn recounting the gIories of the American ring, most Pugilisttc distor- fans begin with Tom MoEpeaux, Jake I9yor and Tom Boasloy, who were in their prime about a century ago. and then skip to the middle of the century, when Tom Hyor and Yankee Sullivan fought for the championship at Yam keedom- This historic process leaves out of consideration several good American fighters of whom the best perhapss was Charley Freeman.
 Although an American, Freeman never took part in e battle on this side of the Atlantic. It was just sew enty-tWo years ago today, Dec. 16 1842r that Freeman fought in England the second of the three bouts of his ring career. all of them being with one man, BiH Perry. the Tipton s1asher, who afterwaTd became theA champion of England
 Freeman WAS press-agented into enn- bracing the profession of pugi1isnn, and the account of how this pioneer YaI1- kee. boxer was induced to enter the game makes an interesting yarn Free man was a giant, standing six feet and ten and a half inches and weighed 250 pounds He was a strong man and circus rider by profession When Ben Caunt. the famous British pugflist vise 1ted New York about 184o he met the American Hercules, and made him a. business proposition, which resulted in reennan going to England U with Caunt. They travelled about to var 1ous fairs, Caunt displaying his fstfc prowess and Freeman his feats of strength
 Some London sporting reporter saw Freeman, and wrote an imaginary story to the effect that the American giant had come to En gland to fight being a star pugiIist in America but that the English boxers were all afraid to meet him. That started things Johnny Broome immediately cha1leng- ed Freeman, on behalf of Perry, the Ttpton S1asher. In vain the big Yan- skee protested that he was not fight CT When he refused the match, the sporting writers of London accused him of cowardice, and at length Free man accepted the ded and declared he would defend .'t11e honor of Ameri- ca.'s
 The first meeting between the sIash1 CT and the American giant went seven- ty rounds to draw They met again on Dec 1e, 1s42. and while the Yankee had the best of it, the police stopped the bout At the third session. after thirty eight rounds had been fought Perry laid down and the American was declared the winner Charley Freeman never fought again, as he was stricken with tubercuIosis and died little later.
