Give PAT FREE HAND
Moran Absolute Boss of the
Team, President Baker
AffirmS
WILL BENDER COME
BACK THIS YEAR?

President William F. Baker, Of the
Phillies, in frank statement to
Quaker City baseball writers, set
down as a palpable fake the story
that the club has been sold. Mr.
Baker. Colonel Thomas f. Murphy, l..
o. ,Ruch and Fred T. Chandler own
60 per cent. Of the stock OF the club.
There is a partnership agreement,
that not one Of them can sell his stock
without the consent of all the others.
This agreement runs for four years
from January 1, 1916.
So far as the management Of the
Phillies is concerned. there is only
one leader Of the team. Pat Moran
has free hand. He will never be
interfered with. The Phfllies bust
ness head seemed eager that the pub
lie should know that.
It was announced that Outfelder
Beals Becker had been given his un-
conditional release. Excluding Beck
er. there are 81 players on the roll.
Ten must be dropped or farmed out
before May 1.
Among the other men on the list,
Pitchers lineup. Rixey and Baum
gardner were "holdOuts." Tincup's
contract was received at the club
headquarters yesterday. Rixey and
Baumgardner have until March /.
Their contracts. however. must be in
the Phillies' Office before the men
can hope to join the training squad at
Petersburg. This is regarded as the
final step OF the league magnates to
make all players toe the mark. No
man. it would seem. is sure of his po-
sition. They must all make good.
So much gossip has gone the rounds
relative to the Phillies' short right
field fence. At the recent National
League meeting Barney Dreyfus. to
take a fling at the Phillies' offered a
suggestion that the Phillies grounds
be made the minimum distance. Then
it was divulged by President Hemp
stead OF the New York club, that the
distance at the Giants grounds was
only 27O feet. while the Phillies' meas
ured 273. feet. So in the twinkling O.
an eye the minimum distance was
made 27O feet to conform TO the New
York grounds.
Pat Moran pulled off clever dea
when he signed Chief Bender, th'
former Athletic star. to play with th'
Phillies. for not only was Charley
Doom on the trail of the chief for thu
Giants. but the dickering had beei
going on for several weeks.
Bender will go south with Boss
Moran and his gladiators, sailing from
New York March 8. After month
training at ST. Petersburg, Fla, Ben
der believes he will regain his old
time form.
Not only is Bender confident that b
will come back strongly, pitch win
ming ball and be a valuable asset I
The House of Moran, but no les
Judges Of talent than Connie Macl
pat Moran and Charlie Doom are q
the same belief.
Bender had a poor season last yea
with the Baltimore Federals. ii
jumped to Otto Knabe's Terrapini
after Manager Mack, of the Athletics
had asked waivers on him at the clos
of the 1914 Season. when the Bl

FOR PROBATE JUDGE

j. w. Campbell, judge of the pro.
bate court of Seward county, is can.
didate to succeed himself for the
nomination to that Office. The Judge
has been resident of this county
ever "since you and 1 were young
Maggie" and only the sand hills ir
the north end of the county remem'
ber when he first landed here. How.
ever, he hasn't been holding Office all
that time, but spent number OF
years farming and in other pursuits
He has been probate judge for three
terms and promises to stick as closely
to the job during the next term II
elected as he has In the past. So far
as we know the affairs CT the probate
court have been handled satisfactori-
ly during his tenure OF office, and the
Republicans have our permission to
renominate him at the August. pri-
mary, provided he will agree to take
the same medicine he has handed to
countless others during the past five
years, that is-get married.

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY

The Democrat this week presents
to its readers the candidacy of George
L. Light for the office of county at
torney. Mr.. Light has been a citizen
of Seward county for nearly 10 years.
the last four of which he has served
in the capacity of clerk of the dis
trict court. He began studying law
as soon as he was elected clerk and
was admitted to the bar by the SUI
preme court last January, having dug
out the why's and wherefores Of the
law by his own efforts and at the
expense of much midnight electricity.
His records as clerk of the court
have not suffered any by his work in
delving out the intricate legal prob
lens at the same time, and we don't
believe there is set of court records
in the state that have been kept in
better shape. Not only is G.. L. COM
petent to fill the Office of county at
torney, but you will always find him
lined up with the side of law, order
and decency, whether in or out Of
office, which goes long way when
selecting material for that Office. He
is one of the few who have gone up
against the board of legal examiners
that passed the same at the first ex-
animation, but he came through with
high average. 1t looks at this time
like there will be no. candidate
against him in either the primary or
general election, as there is not a
Democratic attorney in the county
and we have heard of none Of the
others who wants to get in. In that
case he will just about have the job
cinched beforehand However, he
will make good If elected, and it
would be pleasure to say something
nice about him If he were only run
ming on the Democratic ticket.

FOR CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

The Democrat will now introduce
to you, ladies and gentlemen, oul
handsome and dashing young friend
Chas. M. Tucker, who aspires to be
clerk of the district court for the
next term, subject to the will of the
Democratic voters at the August pri-
mary. Charlie is a native son" OF
Seward county, having been born
near Liberal in the year of our Lord,
1898. He is a graduate of the Lib
eral high school and an excellent
young fellow in every respec-. For
the last several months he has been
making an assault with intent to
study law in the Office of County At
torney Commons, and the way he has
handled several cases in police and
justice court as prosecuting attorney
has made several of the older legal
heads sit up and take notice, His
father, the late Judge H. V. Tucker,
was known in his time as one of the
best attorneys in the county, and the
way Charlie has taken hold of things
indicates he is chip off the old
block. The office of clerk of the dis
trict court would not be entirely un-
familiar to him should he be elected,
and we believe that by the time he
took active charge of the Office he
would be thoroughly familiar with all
the different angles of the same. His
candidacy is worth serious consid-
Grafton by the Democratic voters of
the county, and we hope they do the
handsome thing by him in August
and November.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

At the request of numerous friends
and citizens of his district, Harry D..
Massoni of near Kismet has decided
to enter the race for county commits
sioner from the Third district, sub
ject to the Democratic voters at the
August primary. While we are not
personally acquainted with Mr.. Mas
soni, we have heard some very COM
plimentary remarks about him during
the past week. He has many friends
in his district who have pledged him
their support and votes during the
coming campaign, and they are not
all Democrats, either. He has lived
at his present location about 10 years
and is one of Seward county's pros
porous and influential farmers and
cattle raisers. He is good business
man and the affairs of the Third dis
trict will be we'll taken care of dur
ing the next two years IL intrusted to
him. Mr.. Massoni intends to wage
an active campaign for the ,nomina-
tion and election, and that he will be
successful in both Is beyond ,oubt

merce thinks of the way Liberal has
started out on the new project, and
sshould serve as an encouragement to
the members. The secretary will be

petent man who is not tied up in any
way with any particular business
house of the town, and will be put on
a straight salary to work for the en-
tire town and every member of the
chamber, instead of for one or two
particular ones. The new Chamber
of Commerce is now started and is
in excellent shape to do something
for the town. The organization can
not be kept up, either financially or
spiritually, by few members who
are willing to do more than their
share; it will take united, concerted,
harmonious effort on the part Of ev-
cry member to make it the instru-
ment for good that it is intended to
be.
