To the Voters of Jackson Co.

A false rumor has been in cir culation on the streets of New port this morning, that l, this morning, withdrew from the race for county judge in favor of John A. Melville. l have tried to locate the author of this false and malicious report but have been unable to learn his or their name. This rumor is untrue and false. It was made by some designing person or persons to injure me, because he or they knew I am the leading candidate for county judge and they wish ed to injure me. He or they real ize the defeat of their candidate and resort to this political false hood to bolster up the lost cause of his or their candidate or can- didates for county judge and in- iure me. l have never intimated to any one any idea of with drawing from this race. l have in my possession many letters from various parts of this coun- ty that I am the leading candl- date for county judge. The ru- nor that I have withdrawn from the race for county judge is un- true and false and has been de- signedly made by some one to injure me, and bolster up the lost race of his or their candl- date for county judge. l am in this race until the vote is cast and counted March 18th, 1914,
 regardless of this or any other false rumor to the contrary.

The county campaign closes tonight with the candidates in Union township making their final appeal to the voters. The speaking opens at 7 p. m., after the candidates and crowd have partaken of the supper to be ser ved at the court house by the la dies of the Baptist church.
 Aside from the interest taken in the race for Senator, between Clarke and Kirby, and the con- test for railroad commissioner, congressman and prosecuting at- torney, great interest is report ed from all parts of the county in the results for sheriff, county judge, representative, treasur- CT, school superintendent and coroner, tor each of which of- fees there has been a warm cam paign.
 The voters and people of this township are particularly in- vited to hear the candidates present their claims for nomina- tion at the court house tonight.
 Secretary Leon Mack of the county committee early last week sent by parcels post to each of the thirty-three precincts of the county the ballot box, bal lots and other supplies necessa- ry and to take every precaution, had each insured. Everything is ready for the battle of We'd nesday.

William this season, with q tai1-end

games. Next year Port Arthur prob
ably will be a member of the North

that city and Fort William will mean
a banner attendance. in both places.
Both Fort William and Port Arth-

too, is forging ahead fast. In about

Boston Braves Win Admiration
of All by Their Plucky Fight

The splendid work of the Boston
Braves during the past few weeks
has won the admiration of fans and
baseball men generally. The Braves
hurting trio-Rudolph, James and Ty-
come in for a lot of praise,
as well as Gowdy behind the bat, Ev-
ers and Maranville. In a recent inter-
view Hughey Jennings, thrice manager
OF an American league pennant win
ner, prohpesied that the Athletics
would have no walaway when they
tackle the Braves in the worlds Sc
ries.
"A month ago. said the Detroit
leader. +" would have been willing to
wager that the Athletics stood a good
chance of winning four straight, or
at a capturing the series inside of
five games. But have changed my
mind to a certain extent. During the
last month, the Braves have won SO
many games in the ninth or extra in
nings tina we must admit they have
real class, for one Of the best indica-
tons of a teams strength is its ability
to win the alright games that are not
decided until the finish.
"They say the Braves. have only
one 300 hitter. What Of that?
Didn't the White Sox win the Ameri-
can league pennant in 1906 without a
200 hitter and then go in and win
Connolly Is the only 800 hitter, but
nevertheless, Stallings has a dangerous
bunch of batters,, men who are there
in the pinches. In winning baseball
games, the batter who can hit with a
man on third is Of far more value
than n mar who will get two or
three hits with no one and pop UP a

"A club could not show the game
ness of the Braves. without having
PLAYERS of class. players who have a
right to be considered with the real
heroes of the game. We all know
that Johnny Evers is a great player.
From what I have learned Maran-
Vile is just such. a a Gowdy's
could go in day after day and hold
up the pitchers In the tight games
they have had without being a
shrewd mar behind the bat. Then
there are Schmidt and Smith, first
and third basemen. They have At

$50 much for the optimistic view
point. Here is the dark side. Bos-
ton may n o win the pennant until
the last day Of the season. It has
only a slight lead e the Giants and
the two clubs are to come together
for five games In the last four days
Of the campaign. Neither Giants nor
Braves may have a lead of more than
a game or &C when the crucial series
starts. Consequently Stallings will be
forced to call upon his three star
pitchers, Rudolph, James and Tyler
to pitch all five games while McGraw
will have to usesMathewson and aTes-
reau In four OF the games. The rest
Of the players will be all keyed UP and
the strain may be too much for them.
On the othe rhand, the Athletics 10Y
have such a leadsthat they can, breeze
through without any trouble. Just
