Makes Formal AnnOnncement fOl
 Congressman, Fourth District.

The iews is authorized to announce !ior. Otis T. Wingo as a candidate for rc elecuon to Congress from this the Four-h Congressional District, sub- ject to the action of the Democratic primaries in March
 It is a pleasure to announce MT. Wingo as a candidate tc' succeed him. self for his work in Congress has been most successfully and promises even greater results. He is still at work on the rural credits legislation and is creating congressional sentiment in it's favor. We note that President Wilson in his recent message paid special at- tention to rural credits and asked con- gress to enact legislator along those lines. If Mir. Wingc succeeds in get ting his bill enacted into law, as we believe he will, he will have accom- plished more for the American farm CT than any man of his general on in Congress. MT. Wingo is constantly on the job, and at all times on the alert for anything that will aid his dis trict or his state. As Congress is now in session. and will be until after the primary he will very likely not pc able to personally see very many of the people before that time. The News takes pleasure in presenting the name of Otis T. Wingo to the voters for their consideration.

 As q result Tilden was elected gov ernor of New York in lS74 He found corruption running riot in Albany. The Erie canal was the medium through which the resources of the state were being drained Large contracts were let for it's improvement and money paid or. for work which was never touched Tilden mad long before made

 He broke up the canal ring as eff fectually as he had the Tweed gang, and, whereas he had had help in the attacNs on Tweed. he was the whole head and front ir this second fight.
 One of the preliminarie- to the at tack upon Tweed was the formation of - strong bar association in New York. Tilden was one of the leaders Who called the meeting at which such m association was formed in 1869

fair in all it's history tfats is so keenly interesting as the slam bang stuff the American and British teams indulged in yesterday.
 After a sharp fifteen minute game. the Britishers had scored three goals to the Americans one. which was tough on the Patriots. sbut al in the game. One sensational spill took place when the American team's Ford stood on one ear in the early part of the contest and streyed its crew over half an acre of ground. The car was righted, cranked up and taken out of the game, although ap- parendy no worse for it's ridiculous upset.
 Ire American crew also lost. a wheel in,fa crash with the inside fence, and anotheri ear was rushed into the game.
 Two of the Brtishers' goals were clean shots between the posts. from about the thirty yard line The third came as a result of q pretty drib- ble down q quarter length of the field The American goal was made after a rough scrimmage, in which the cars got locked almost beyond separation.
 Hankinson acted as referee and created good many thrills for the feminine spectators by placing the ball. signalling the start and then calmly strolling off the field wEilc the two Fords were tearing for the ball at thirty miles an hour. To relieve any uneasiness, it might be stated that Hank has stood between the racing cars hundreds. ol times, and so keen is his judgment of speed and distance he has never yet been hurt or even bent out of shape.

TILDEN \ LINK bE TWEEN
 OLD AND NEW DEMOCRACY

Tilden Was a lawyer by profession and amassed q fortune in the prac- tice of the jaw. He was noted as one of the soundest constitutional lawyers of his day, and his opinions were held in high esteem even by his political opponents. He was born February ,, 1874, at New Lebanon. N. Y, and died at Greystone- on the Hudson near Yonkers. x. Y. on August l. 1886. He was rated worth $5.000, GOO at his death-a considerable fortune even in the sos. while yet, the word billion" was known only to statis- ticians. He was educated af Yale and the New York university.
 The political writings and public speeches and papers of Tilden, which We're quite voluminOus. were collected some years ago and published in two volumes through the Harper press by his lifelong friend, John Bigclow. the father of POultney I}igelow, upon

troversv. IL is the consensus of cool American opinion today. regardless of party, that Tilden was rightfully en- titled to a majority of the electoral votes and that ne was a victim of a political combination entered into by some of the leaders of beth parties.
 But as Henry Watterson has said, the whole truth underlying the deftermiHate incidents which led to the rejection of Tiden and the seat inS of Hayes will never oe known"

With the recent unveiling of the first monument erected to Samuel J. Tilden on the old Bgelow homestead grounds at Malden-on- Hudson, New York. the curtain of history was momentarily rolled back. reviving dormant memor- ies of one of the most forceful figures in American political life for over half a century-a man whose opinions and actions, expressed and wrought in the arena of national political activities during that period, form a continuous chain linking the days of Andrew Jackcon with those of Grover Cleve- land. A democrat of the old states
 rights school. fundamentally an en- emy of federal centralization Of gov ernmental power, he was ranked Withal as a statesman of the most progressive type in his attitude to- ward the many important problems of American politics that arose during the long period of his public career.

IP. o. LEAGUE WANTS REFEREN-
DUN ON SUBWAY AND PHONE


DUN ON SUBWAY AND PHONE
The people who live in Chicago are
competent to decide what they want
done with the automatic telephone
and subway propositions. That was
the sentiment expressed at the meet
ing of the Public Ownership League
of Cook County at Musicians hall,
yesterday.
By unanimous vote the league
went on record in favor of referen-
dunn vote on the subway proposition.
Morton L. Johnson, president OF
the Penny Phone league, John Fftz-
patrick, president of the c. F. of L.
and the P. o. L., and Maj. Honore
Jaxon each supported the proposition
that the property owners who are to
benefit by the subway-if one is built
should be made to stand the ex-
pense.
It was pointed out that in many
cities, San Francisco, for instance,
when a municipal improvement was
made which would benefit some Sec
tons of the city in particular while
benefting all of the city in general,
that the sections most benefited paid
the major part of the cost.
If Chicago gets subway certain
real estate men are going to make
millions. The Public Ownership
league feels that these men should
pay more for the subway than the
worker who will get nothing from the
subway but the privilege of being
jammed in an underground car.
In the case now in court to pre-
vent the sale of the automatic tele-
phone system to the Bell Co. fails the
league yesterday authorized John
Fitzpatrick to take the case to the
supreme court.
All of the temporary officers were
reelected as permanent officers at
yesterdays meeting. These are:
