CUP DEFENDERS NAME.
Eight Letters Must Always Be Used
to Satisfy Superstition,

NEW YORK, January 19.-In naming
the tricity cup defender Defiance. the
management Of that syndicate has fol-
lowed the custom established in 1898 of
giving cup defenders names having eight
letters. C. Oliver Iselin started this GUS
tom and followed it SO closely that it has
become a superstition that a cup de.
fender must have eight letters in its
name.
First there was the Vigilant, followed
by the Defender and Columbia These
three yachts outsailed the two VAL
kyries and the first Shamrock. When
the second Shamrock came the man
ayers neglected to adhere to the custom.
and chose Constitution as the name OF
the new defender. That yacht was not
the success she was expected to be. and
she was outsailed in the trial races by
the Columbia, which yacht later sue
cessfully defended the cup. In the last
series of races in 1903 the Reliance, an
other eight-letter word was the name OF
the new yacht.

ardizes the election of Clifford Pinchot,
but Mr.. Mccormick as well.
After interviewing a great many
Progressive voters they denounce the
idea of fusion with the Democrats un-
less they make some concessions. The
idea of playing second fiddle to a
minority party in this state is prepos-
ferrous. Unless Mr.. Palmer withdraws
from the senatorial race in favor of
Mr. Pinchot there will be a landslide
for DR.. Brumbaugh and not the Demo-
cratic party, as the Democrats are
very optimistic over what they claim
a sure victory for them by the gem
erous act of the Progressives. l in
terviewed a prominent Democrat the
other day and he seemed highly elated
at the outlook. / told him the old
story that when fellow goes through

If he is scared almost to death, and
that seemed to apply to them pretty
well. Yours truly,

OPINION FROM PERRY

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
as a Washington party county
committeeman express my implicit
confidence in the integrity and un-
selfish action of William d. Lewis in
withdrawing as the Washington party
candidate for Governor, so that all
the forces opposed to Penrose and
Penroseism might be united. We re-
gret that before taking the step that
irrevocably eliminated him as the
Washington party nominee for Gov
ernor he had not secured the opinion
of the great Embossed rank and file of
the party who have opinions of their
own, Irrespective of the wishes of the
leaders.
If the rank and file of the Wash
ington party considered that the
Democratic party were more anxious
to defeat Penrose than to secure the
offices of Governor and United States
senator, they would enter heartily into
the scheme, but large numbers of our
party think that the Democrats are
not sincere and A. Mitchell Palmer.
Democratic candidate for United States
senator, confirms that belief by fire.
quently in public utterances ASSERTING
nothing but death will cause him to
show the same disinterested spirit OF
William d. Lewis and withdraw. The
attitude of Mr.. Palmer not only teop-
