Not for Any Candidate.

Mr. Ballinger, when Roberts had
concluded, publicly declared he was
not representing any one candidate.
He said that he was not the repre-
sentative OF Moorhead or any otAer
candidate at this election.

RalIinaer,s Speech.

Frank M. Ballinger was called for
he said that two weeks ago he asked
the Rev. Mr.. Sanders his attitude on
sunday baseball, Sunday theaters and
licensed saloons, but that he was not
answered. Mr.. Ballinger said hs
thought the man who works six days
IN the week for So was entitled to his
Sunday recreation and that not until
the law stopped the rich man with
his auto and motor boat from going
about on Sunday, should it stop the
moor man from his one enjoyment,
the Sunday picture show or baseball.
Mr.. Ballinger characterized Rev.
Sanders as having laid aside the er-
mine of the pulpit and having stepped
down into the quagmire OF politics.
If he is not going to close saloons,
sunday baseball and Sunday theaters,
then why doesn't he go on record?'
Mr.. Ballinger asked.
He asked the men to vote not for
RIGHTEOUSNESS but for conditions into
which a man could feel free to take
his wife and children, mother or
sweetheart.

either. 1t was not knocking to see
faults in yourself. he said. Keokuk's
trouble was expecting to get some
thing for nothing, he said, and until
that tendency had been downed, the
greater Keokuk was far distant.
Every single time we have prop
osition up that costs something, you
people vote mo" because you're
afraid it will cost you something he
said. In the matter Of schools, !
want to see the Wells and Carey
torn down; want to zee a new one
in the seventh ward. You say the
Garfield building is a good one; so is
the Estes house All there is of the
building is four walls and a roof. It
was built in '76, don't you think ideas
in ventilation, sanitation and building
have changed since that tims?

Baker and Roberts.

George Baker was on his feet at
the conclusion of Mr.. Ballingers talk.
He said Rev. Sanders didn't reply be-
cause his friends urged him not to.
ITO me, he has declared himself"
said Baker. HE is for sunday base
ball as long as clean. He is for Sun
day picture shows as long as clean,
and he Is for licensed saloons
Mr.. Baker urged the men to vots
for Oyerton who is not in any clique,
he said.
He characterized our levee as the
dirtiest place he had ever seen. II
the council would quit building ave-
nues for Stone & Webster, they
would have money for other work, he
said.
Mr.. Baker urged favorable school
house bond issue vote, claiming the
schools were out OF date and in bad
shape.
j. A. Roberts said he admired a
man who worked for candidate. But
he wanted square deal. He said Mr..
Ballinger had been making capital OF
the statement he made to Sanders
about his stand, but he said he hadn't
noticed Ballinger asking the candi-
date he was working for to declare
himself. He said he hadn't heard OF
DR.. Moorhead's answering any ques-
tions.

North Side Unfair.

John Kelly followed Major Collins,
and he charged the north side with
unfairness in this sewer proposition.
He said the people were back in the
old rut. He spoke of the danger from
the open sewer, and said that many
of the men who advocated voting No
had not been at the mouth of the
Seventh street sewer.

Quit Talking and Work.
DR.. Fuller urged the citizens to
quit talking about things and to get
out and get things.
The relation Of city officials to sa-
looms, baseball and theaters is not
the important part Of ths administra.
ton Dr. Fuller said. You'll never
have. city as long as this is first.
You've got to get beyond ideas that
this is the foremost consideration. You
should have men on your council and
at the head OF your city WHO are cap
abba of handling the problems OF I'M
ance and business, for after all city

FARMER VICTIM TURNS
DETECTIVE AND NABs DIP
Two Men With no Home Have Too
Many VaIuables on Them
for Comfort

With the arrest of two men giving
their names as William Bowers and
John Watson, in the act of picking
pockets on the street cars at the gates
of the fair grounds yesterday, the sher-
if and his officers believe they have
found the source of the series of per-
sonal robberies that have been reported
during the last three days.
Himself, the victim of pick pockets
on Tuesday evening at Gass Bros. Chop
House, to the extent of $500, Tom Hall,
the local fruit grower and his son Dick
set themselves to watch for the Thu
at the fair gates, and it was while
prosecuting their search that they
caught the two men handed going
through the pockets of passengers on
the street cars. They at once called
assistance and Constable Jim Murphy
and Special Officer Meehan effected the
arrest.
At the sheriffs office the men were
examined but each gave conflicting
statements and vague account of
their actions. From their refusal to
divulge their place of lodging in the
city, it is suspected that they are two
of a gang that is making a good thing
of the holiday crowds.
A big sum of money was found on
their person and the sheriff advises all
who have suffered loss this week to
appear at his office in the court house
in order that they may have an oppor-
| tunity to identify the men held with
any they suspect of the thefts.

CONFIDENCE TRICK
LANDS ]. S. G. JOHNSON

The ancient confidence track has
landed j. S. G. Johnson behind the
bars of the county Jail, through the
astuteness of the country he had
duped.
On Tuesday morning Johnson set
himself out to win the confidence Of a
rancher in from the southside to take
in the fair. 1t was not long before
the two were good friends. All day
Johnson made himself agreeable at
the fair, and eventually introduced the
friend with the clever lock trick The
rancher fell at once, and went with
Johnson to withdraw s125 from the
bank Without wasting more time,
johnson and his confederate just nat
urally took the money away from the
rancher and beat it,
The rancher, however, stuck close
to his man, and followed him until he
entered the Ford hotel, where an Of
ficer was acquainted with the facts
of the case and made the arrest as
Johnson was attempting to leave by
another door.
On being searched, Johnson was
found to be carrying $65 as his share
of the spoils, together with check
for $1,000 made out on a bank of fic-
titious name, supposedly of Southern
California and second search
brought to light a check for $4,000
on the Valley bank.

Jockey Burns Disqualified
Three rather tame running races
were Iivened up at the fair yesterday
when Jockey T. Burns, up on Bolly
Beers in the five furlong event. tried
| his hand at some old back alley stuff
with the result that he was set down
| by the judges for the balance of the
meet. Burns was making a nice
ride on Beers, but, not content with
| the showing his mount was making,
tried the old pocket racket on Apache
Kid. He tried it at a most inoppor-
tune time, however, as three pairs of
lIlelu glasses were tuiiieu VII iiii'i u
the time he tried to turn the trick.
In this race Apache Kid was placed
first, Bat Masterson grabbed the
place money, while Bolly Beers was
allowed to show despite the funny
work of Burns. If ever a horse de-
served to be set back out of the
money, this bird did.

a crime when Barsac was lined UP

selling platers However, Barsac was
drawn and Sweet Bait, Gordon Rus

Those that like funny pictures will
get their moneys worth at the Lion
theater today. Two comedies are
shown, one a Keystone entitled, The
Baggage Smasher," which is a riot of
laugh producing situations with ev-
erybody in a tangle climax. The
other comedyS is from the Beauty
studios in one-reel film called
"Motherless Kids, in which Margarita
Fischer and Harry Pollard play the
leads. It's a good picture with lots
of humor. The feature picture today
is two-reel Thanhauser entitled
Jean of the Wilderness" in which
Mignon Anderson and Morris Foster
play the leads. This is a splendid
picture full of heart interest and
clever situations. The Lion feature
orchestra will render a special pro-
gram tonight and Miss Grace Scott
will sing new song. Tomorrow the
Lion shows a complete change of pic
lures, featuring Pathe's Semi Weekly,
which contains latest views from the
European war.

F. K. Bushman AGAIN

In "Ambushed," the Essenay three
reeler which is the feature attraction
at the Empress, the lovers of the
great silent have a treat in store
for them.
Francis X. Bushman. who recently
Won the popularity contest in having
been judged the most accomplished
and handsome leading man in the
world of motion pictures, has the
handling of the stellar role, and his
portrayal of Frank Mitchell, the at
torney, will go down as one of his
greatest successes. The role is a diff
ficult one, calling into play all the
art and finish possible with the mo
vie" actor. At times it borders on
the melodraElstic, and close followers
of the screen drama realize how
easily the role could be overdone. But
in the hands Of Bushman the emo
tons are. called upon in an artistic
and Intelligent manner, and the result
is highly pleasing. In his less serious
scenes he displays volumes of that
versatility which has done so much
to place him in the front rank of his
profession.
The plot is out of the ordinary and
as it unfolds reveals the careful prep
aration and superior direction which
! is everything to motion pictures
A crowded house greeted the initial
run last night and it is safe to say
that the movie fans of Phoenix
will not let this opportunity of wit
Messing Bushman at his best pass.
| In addition to "Ambushed,' there
is a great comedy from the Pathe
studios, which kept the house in
| laughter during the entire thousand
feet and which carries a finale that
| is a sure winner.
