to spring, and he not only allowed
down the backstretch on the last
lap Kramer back-pedaled until there
was daylight of two lengths between
them. This he did, he told me after
ward, in order to get pedal action"
However, you may be told that Rutt,
by his speed, drew away from
Kramer on that particular occasion,
but that isn't so. Kramer, two
lengths off, did get great pedal
action, and when he felt it was time
for him to go to work he raced up
alongside of Rutt after passing the
twelfth pole on the final lap and
began the tremendous task Of NOW
ing his adversary down. Rutt was
not to be beaten without a battle,
and the men raced like mad on and
on to the tape. Kramer came up the
stretch with a rush, yet he over
hauled Rutt only inch by inch. The
struggle to the finish was bitter, but
with the last few strides Kramer
kicked himself to victory.
This time the applause was more
deafening than ever, and the fans
gave the American champion a
demonstration that was a credit to
all concerned.

Now that Kramer has demonstrated
his ability to beat Rutt from in front
and from behind, Manager MacFar-

with which to give "Old Steve" some
trouble. The third match with Rutt
will be one heat French style, one

up after that I do not know, but I'll

fans and all the fans-stood up and

Kramer's victory over Rutt has
made the champion a bigger.
favorite than ever He has
been cheered and applauded be-
fore, both in this country and

natural life received such a demon
stration that greeted him as he rode
around the track on the tour of honor
after he had been declared the Win
ner. Scenes the like of il are few

day Will be long remembered After
Kramer had won the final heat there

there, but when, q bouquet of roses in
hand, he rode around the track THIN

the bleachers with great vigor as
Kramer paraded on his bike, casting
smiling chances at the sea of faces
before him. The people rose, section
after section, and paid the hero honor.
Women led in the applause, and they
waved their handkerchiefs and their
programs in recognition of their re-
spect of his achievement 1t really
was a most wonderful demonstration
1t was spontaneous and seemed to
come right from the heart. Kramer
said afterward that it was his banner
reception. The champion also made
another hit. The tour of honor COM

request that Mr. Stanley give the

nor would he shake hands with the
Yankee boy. But yesterday the issue
came down TO the death, as it were,
and Rutt could not very well maintain
his doubts my longer. He had three
real live chances to show his heels

to mako good. In the other chance
lie showed himself Il fine sportsman
by refusing TO accept victory in
heat in which the American boy had
received a puncture, at time, too,
when, to all appearances, he looked
like a winner of the heat, which, by
the way would have given him VIC
tory in the race. To Kramer, we
must say "BraNo." with all that goes
with il on the side. King Kramer he
is HOW. il never before for he has
beaten the greatest foeman, perhaps,
who has ever tested his steel. To
Rutt we would say "Well done!"
and we might add that his display of
craftsmanship was not merely a show
for effect, but because he wanted to
win right If he won at all.

While Kramer won without losing
heat his Victories, especially the
way he elected to ride the race, were
only accomplished after what every
body termed a wonderful ride. To

first race, and outside there were
hundreds willing TO buy seats with
no seats to be had. The well of the

REDUCE DEMOCRATIC
MAJORITY IN HOUSE
Progressive Strength Dwindling
Rapidly, Returns of Yester-
day Show
By Associated Press

New York. Nov. 4.-The Democratic
party, through yesterdays elections,
apparently retains control of both
branches of Congress. although gains
made by the Republicans in the lower
house threaten to reduce the Demo-
cratic majority to a minimum. This is
the outstanding feature of yesterday s
general election, aside from which the
general significant development was
the dwindling away of the strength of
the Progressive party. The returns
from every section of the country indi-
cate that the Progressives, who cast a
larger vote than the Republicans in
1912, have been absorbed in large part
by that party. In almost every case
there was a decisive falling off in the
Progressive vote with the conspicuous
exception of California. which appar-
emily has reelected Hiram Johnson,
its Progressive Governor.

VOX POPULI.

From Harrisburg Patriot, 1922
VIZ HEN I'm triumphant at the
w polls and my majority up
rolls, know the people rule;
the people, in whom virtue lies,
the high souled people, who de-
spise corruptlon's noisome pool.
But when get il i'm
the neck, and leave the polls a dis
NAL wreck, vox populi is still: the
cohorts of the money kings have
formed conspiracies and rings to
thwart the peoples will. Oh voters
who for pure things yearn, say.
will you never. never learn to vote
for none but me? When I'm de-
feated Freedom groans, and Virtue
weeps DER mouldy bones. Vice wins
the victory. I am alone the Peo-
pies Voice, and when I win the
stars rejoice, and all the spheres
are glad; but when I lose our
sacred Vox is like a ship cast on
the rocks and Righteousness is sad.
