Are we all ready? We are.
Having feasted our gaze on the re-
nublican rumpus, consisting OF rev
light workouts by Kid Catron. Hurri-
cane Hubbell Bursum the Bruiser
and Rough and Ready Romero, we
will now be permitted. without money
and without price, to witness some
fancy exhibition of shadow boxing and
rope jumping by Battling Barth, wal
loping Walton, Mcdonald the Mys-
terry and number Of other classy
boys who heretofore have been seer
in preliminaries and semi-Windups
and are we'll known to the sporting
public. Knockout Jones, having fall
ed to get match up to the present
time viii enter the ring and issue his
def to take on any fighter at eaten
weights before the constituency Of
fering the best inducements, winner
take all.
The exhibition this week will lack
something of the tense and subtle
iockeying for position which charac-
terized the one given by the repuDll-
cans last month, and the chances are
that it will furnish less definite
basis of forecast for future events
but at that, it is expected to clarity
the democratic atmosphere to con-

Jones for the Senate.
To begin with, it is generally believ-
ed that Assistant Secretary of the IN
terror A. A. Jones, who will be pres
ent at the convention, will announce
himself as a candidate for the nomi-
nation of his party for United States
senator to succeed Senator Catfon'
This announcement will be more or

Jones has been considered by demo-
Gratis for the nomination for that Of
flee. and a formidable number or
county organizations have already
given their official endorsement TO-
Mr.. Jones, who is a national figure
While these endorsements are not
binding upon the delegates who are
yet to be named for the nominating
convention, it wouldn't be a good
sporting proposition to bet that Jones
Will not be nominated, or even to pet
that ne will nave any opposition for
the nomination.
State Senator w. B. Walton, of Sill
yer City, has been placed squarely IN
gress by the convention of Grant
county democrats which recently met
TO select delegates to the convention
which will meet here Wednesday. MI

AS votegetter he is considered one
OF the strongest men in his party, ana
the record made by him two years
ago In piling up an Unprecedented
democratic majority in his nome
county in a year of general party dis
