PATRIOTISM AND THE ELECTIONS

The election Just passed was fought with great display
of patriotism each side There plethora Of noise

where any old time regardless Of other folks affairs
and whoop and hurrah for old glory that made the
wekin ring and set off the red fire Mr. Hughes did
great deal Of blushng for the whole country and
sorry and ashamed of the government The vOciferous
colonel called the president craven and coward and
he too would have bshed for the country had not his
actions following the Bull Moose convention precluded
his bushlng at anything.
The republican press took the flag under it's wings
and asserted that without the elephant totng the
try bound for the everlasting bowwows. The dem
ocrats took hand at the mouhy patriotism but the
republicans having beat them to it made their efforts
tame in comparison. And when it all our

like rock against the cohorts of the designing wretches
who would ruin the country despite the fact that it was

Then Tammany, the great New York organization went
back the president for reasons best known to its lead

What caused the great Wilson vote in Ohio has far
not been explained but it is safe to say it not

IT was one nice ball game and the
fans who witnessed the hostilities saw

There was brilliant fielding on both

big scare into the local camp in that
inning, when they threatened to not

lead. But 1t proved to be a threat
and nothing else. and the ending was
not as disastrous as some people were
prone to believe.

Dutchman TO play upon another

but that's just what steiny did. and
he didn't come around afterwards and
offer any apologies to his fellow

did either. He played a fiawless
game in the field, accepted nine
chances, made a two-base hit and
otherwise distinguished hi m e +

place he is filing until Johnny Priest

Hasn't Been Hitting.
Steinbrenner has been good enough
for the big show for the past three
years as far as his fielding is con-
cerned. but the one big obstruction
that stood between him and a major
league berth. good-s.zed check once
a month. and big-town hotel beds in
which to sleep after his days labors
were done, was his failure to WELD his
bludgeon with any telling effect. This
young. rosy-cheek fellow has some
thing on lots OF those in leagues OF
higher classification. but he Just
hasn't been hitting. However, this
bad feature about the youngster may
