cans Will win in the state this fall,
that the party will elect a United

Bristow's candidacy and urged his fol-
lowers to vote 1cr him." said Brewer.
You can say that am ready to meet
that issue. I am for Charles Curtis.
In my opinion. Curtis will defeat Bris-
tow 10000 votes in the primaries.
Both Harvey and Tucker are gaining
strength and I expect the supuort Of
the majority Of the followers OF these
three men against the Bristow sup

out of town in the inglorious ca
boose of local freight.
The game itself started at 200 p.
m as scheduled. River Falls kick
ing off to Menomonie against the
wind. Beebe kicked to Murphy on
the ten yard line, who returned the
ball 10 yards before being dropped
by Badger. For the remainder of
the half the ball see. sawed back and
forth, neither team having a notice
able advantage over the other. Me
nomonie tried to pull successful
forward pass, while Moline, elected
to hammer the line with his backs.
At the beginning of the second
half both teams started with the
open play, Menomonie advancing
the bali TO the 20 yard line before
she was checked. Here River Falls
procured the ball and few minutes
after a forward pass, Morrow TO
Nelson, sent Nelson away for run
of As yards for touchdown. Nord-
by kicked goal This ended the
scoring for that quarter. although
River Falls had definite advantage
throughout.
Early in the last quarter end runs
by Moline and Nelson and line
plunges by Nordby and Elliott
placed the ball on the five yard line
and on the next play Nelson carried
the ball over for a second touch
down NordbY failed at goal Me-
nomonie received and was forced to
punt. Moline made a beautiful re
turn to the 20 yard line, line
plunge by Morrow added 10 more,
aud then Elliott was called around
for a run of Is yards TO the goal
line. Nordby failed at goal Score
l9 to O. In the last few minutes of
play Menomonie fairly rained for
ward passes in a desperate attempt
TO shake one loose for a score, but
Morrow and Nelson were invulner-
able and the attempt was futile.
