HOPKINS ELECTED
CHAIRMAN COUNTY
c. 0. ?. COMMIT TEE
AS FoREcAsTED IN THE HERALD
Is ALMOST UNANIMOUS CHOICE
FOR PARTY LEADER.
JOHN v. JACKSON IS SECRETARY
Mass Convention Ordered Held On
First Monday in October for the Pur-
pose Of Nominating a Full Ticket for
The Legislature.

AS forecasted in The Herald, Ra-
leigh S. Hopkins was elected chairman
Of the county republican executive
committee on Saturday afternoon by
an almost unanimous vote, defeating
John w. Jackson by a vote of twenty.
FIVE to six. 1t was the most largely
attended and harmonious meeting that
the republican committee of this coun-
ty has had in many years.
The committee then elected Mr..
Jackson secretary by vote of twenty
two to eight for Solomon A. Vest, of
Mt. Pleasant. The election was later
made unanimous. Although at first
it looked as if there might be a lively
contest when Mr.. Jackson protested
against the election of Hopkins.
The meeting, however, developed
into a love feast and every member
agreed to work hard for the election
of the ticket.
According to resolution of the
committee the republicans of Maury
county will this year, for the first time
in sixteen years, nominate a complete
legislative ticket. 1t was decided
unanimously to order mass conven-
ton to assemble at the Court House
on Monday, October 2, at o'clock to
nominate a complete legislative ticket.
The committee was called to order
by r. s. Hopkins, chairman Of the re-
cent mass convention, at o'clock. M.
P. Murphy, secretary of the conven-
ton, called the roll and a quorum an.
swered.
Nominations for chairman were
called for and Edmund Hughes, of Mt
Pleasant, placed in nomination R. S.
Hopkins of Columbia
John w. Jackson then took the floor
and said that he had been requested
by Mr.. Hopkins and others to become
a candidate for chairman that he did
not care for the office, but he did pro
test against heaping all the honors OF
the party on Mr.. Hopkins. He said
that Mr.. Hopkins had only recently
been elected a delegate to the national
convention; that he had been chair
man of the congressional committee;
had only recently been chairman OF
the county republican convention and
was now the republican member of
the county board of elections.
He declared that it did look as il
there ought to be more than one re
publican in the county capable to shar
ing with Mr.. Napkins the honors OF
the party. He said personally he was
not opposed to Mr.. Hopkins, but be-
lieved that he should not have all the
honors.
NJ Phineas Murphy then nominated
Mr.. Jackson and tellers were appoint
ed and a secret ballot taken with the
result that Jackson received six votes
and Napkins twenty-five votes.
Mr.. Hopkins made graceful speech
Of acceptance. He said that it was
true that he had been honored by the
republicans of Maury county far be
yond his deserts but he had laboreC
earnestly for party success; that he
had never sought office and did moi
want any now in Maury county anc
would labor solely for the success Of
the republican party. He would have

With the heavily heated atmosphere that prevailed upon the streets last night, Polls theatre offered a cool re- treat to exhausted thousands of pa irons who nevertheless were given the pepper-pot of a hot" show.
 On the program were two depar- lures from the regular vaudeville program. High-art had its outing in the great Russian ballet which was a surprise and the animated songs of- fered by Jack Morris met with in- stant approval.

HELPFUL HINTS TO OUR
YOUNG BASEBALL PLAYERS

In sliding to second. much time
can be saved by first carpeting
the baseline with banana peels.
Spike wounds may be entirely
prevented by not going near any
body's spikes.
If you are pitching, and the call
is three balls. no strikes, and the
bases are full. and a $3.50 hitter is
up, it might be well to try the eff
ficacy of prayer.
A batting average will grow
much more satisfactory if real hits
are used in its composition. Phan-
tom hits and those you made in
the Glass Y company do not pro-
duce proper results.
If you lack pep and fire, and do
not get around actively enough to
suit the manager, go into the dress
ing room and sit on a hot stove.
The resulting increase of energy
and agility will be immediate and
astonishing.

Wizards fame is assured. Patent
medicine manufacturers are now buy
ing his signature.
And if Jess should quit the game
next fall, passing up a chance to make
several additional hundred thousand
dollars, he will be the marvel of all
pugdom.
Upon his arrival in Chicago the
champion said he would not retire be-
cause he is not quite that kind of a
fool And he would certainly be
branded as foolish to pass up the easy
coin so soon.
The only thing that will keep Jess
out of the ring is the failure of the
hunters to find suitable opponent for
him. Heavyweights of his caliber are
scarce, and no wise promoter will pay
Wizards price for another go unless
the opponent has ear marks of the
real thing.
The next fight will have to go 20
rounds or more to be a good drawing
card, and the challenger will have to
measure up to Willard physically as
well as statistically. OF course, exhi-
bition matches with unknownS for
out trouble but moderate sums dc not
appeal to the Willard-Jones company.

Roy Sanders, who had his first work
out Monday afternoon, says he is in
the pink in every sense of the word.
He has been working all winter and
looks like he has been out in the open
great part of the time. His straw
berry complexion is in marked con-
traSt to that of some of the others who
have been spending the interim on the
inside of walls.
Vince Wiesing, the K. c. catcher
who Is giving all pitchers their warm
ing up work outs, is getting plenty of
exercise, but he will have assistance in
day or two. In fact he will have real
competition, but Weising looks big
enough to hold his own and Monday
afternoon he was batting them against
the fence every time he got an ash in
his hand.
Bowling, the new infielder comes to
IOpeka with the aust OF the copper
league in his shoes. After leaving the
Lincoln club of the Western league in
1913, he went to the Union association,
where he played in 1914. In 1915 he
received call to the Coast league, but
refused to accept the terms offered
him and was forced to play desert ball.
Savage and baltimore seem to think

the ex-outlaw was considered one of
the best youngsters in the lunch coun-

ought to hit more than 800 in the
Western league.
