GILMORE MUST
HAVE MEANT
WHAT He SAID
BY Hal Sheridan

NEW YORK. Dec. 7.--President
James A. Gilmore OF the Federal
league recently voiced several
threats in connection with the war
on organized baseball. and he has
already made good on one OF them.
And the way he has started out has
made Ban Johnson and his cohorts
ST. up and take notice.
'Jf money will get his services,
said Gilmore. Walter johnson OF
Washington. the star twirler OF he
American league. will wear Fed
eral uniform mex. year"
Ind when the time 10 make good
came. Gilmore's agents were right
on the Job. and Walter signed a
three-year contract with the Fed
erals. at a yearly salary OF si7,500
He also received $4,000 bonus for
signing.
Then Ban johnson attempted to
discredit Walter by saying his days
OF usefulness TO the Washington
club we're over. and that he would
have been sent to some other club
even II he had remained In the
American league. But Clark Crit
filth, manager of the Senators, let
out n howl that could be heard In
San Francisco.
johnson will not be allowed 20
leave my club without a fight in
the courts" he declared. Then Grit
fifth called n meeting OF the direct
ors OF the club to map out a line OF
battle. Nothing was done. how
ever. the directors asserting that
Ban johnson would come to Wash
ington and aid them In forming
some plan OF action.
a few hours later II was an
nounced that Rube Marquard. one
OF the star pitchers OF tho New
York Giants. had signed with the
Brooklyn Federals. Another howl
went mp from the Giants. and they
also promise TO take Marquard's
case into the courts
On top OF this came the announce
ment that Chief Bender had signed
with the Federals. probably TO ap-
pear with the st. Louis club.
In view OF recent events. Il must
be admitted that Gilmore evidently
meant what he said when he declar-
ed that the Federals were in base
ball TO stay and would fight organ
lied baseball to a finish.

may be interested" .".-Nobby Regis
ter, Secretary of States Office.)
AZ To understand the Significance Of
Ilhe above registration you must re-
lmember that at the last session Of
the Legislature special committee
from the two houses investigated tho
cost of public printing. The COM
mittee found "the cost of our print
ing has been unreasonably high, and
under proper system there would
be room for yearly saving of from
$780, 900 to $4,000" The committee in
it's reports cite instances of excessive
prices, among which was the publica-
tion of the Publicity Pamphlet in
1912 by the Nipple Printing Company
at cost of s13,7o5.55, upon which
there was profit of over 5000 over
and above the cost of printing and .
margin of 3S 1-3 per cent. We quote
from the report: "Under . similar
deceptive contract Mr.. Nipple testi-
fed that he made . clean profit Of
$4,000 on $1,000 contract for the
l9ll Session Laws. and this partly on
account of q legislative fuke. page

ZELL GUTHRIE
FOR STATES ATTORNEY

Zell Guthrie, majority republican
candidate for States Attorney, has
lived in Hughes County from infancy.
He was educated in Pierre City Schools,
State Universities of South Dakota
and Minnesota and Valparaiso Uniyer-
sity. Being poor did not hinder him
from securing his schooling at the best
colleges, for he was willing to work in
school and out of school. At college
he worked as janitor, dishwasher,
waiter, and woodsawer and the other
day was exhibiting to his friends a
snapshot picture, taken by one Of his
fellow students, showing Mr.. Guthrie
saving wood for his next weeks board
at the college ''hash house, Upon
completing the law course at the Un.
iversity of Minnesota he returned to
his home town of Pierre where his life
has always been an open book. He has
always been known to be especially
interested in the welfare of poor peo-
pie and he believes the state should
provide means to assist poor litigants
at present poor litigant is at a dis.
advantage whenever the issue is joined
with great railroad corporation, sup.
ported by regular salaried attorneys
and lobbists, who are hired by corpor.
ate interests to throttle the will of the
people when the laws are made. The
poor man as we'll as the rich man will
get square deal from Mr.. Guthrie.
Make him your States Attorney.
