When he ran through the tape a
hare yard and half back of Ted
Meredith in the intercollegiate half
mile championship last month, Bill
Bingham. the greatest four-furlonger
that Harvard ever boosted of, closed
an athletic career that he may well be
proud of as long as he lives. Twas
hoped that Bingham would. stick to
the game for year or so as mem
her of the Boston Athletic association
track squad, but it's not to be so. The
Crimson captain has decided to run
no more and so passes out as game
and true a runner as ever trod the
path. But for one factor Bingham
would be hailed as world beater,
and that factor is James Edward Mer-
edith. AS fin a performer as Bingham
was, Ted, the super-runner, was
couple of strides stronger and faster

THE LEGISLATIVE c K

About the only contest there will be on the local
ticket, IN this county, IN the primary election next
Tuesday, is on the Legislative Ticket. 1t is perhaps
the most important office to the people Of this county,
as well as to the City of Watertown. It is very i'm
portant to this county to have a delegation in the
State Legislature that will work In harmony and not
only in harmony with themselves, but will so work
with the majority party In the legislature that they
can obtain support enough to accomplish something
for Godlngton county.
For some reason, in the past, Codington county
has been unable to get anything from the hands of
the Legislature. During the last two sessions, efforts
were-made to get a bill passed, to appropriate SOM
money to be spent on the state grounds, at Watertown,
in preparation for a state asylum in the near future.
These efforts failed in both of the sessions. The trou-
tween our own representatives or between some of our
in the legislature. The position Of some of our mem
bers on other questions Of interest to the whole state,
was so far out of harmony with the principles adyo-
Gated by a majority of the Legislature, and in some
cases the contest became SO warm and bitter, that it
was impossible for our representatives to get the nee
essary support from the other members of the legisla-
ture, to accomplish anything for Watertown or Cod
ington county.
The legislative ticket endorsed BY the Republican
League Of Cedington Gonnty to be voted on next
Tuesday, lis: Arthur Il. Sherin, Hans Mathiesen and
John Stein. These three members, If elected, will not
only work IN harmony between themselves, but will
be IN harmony on all the important questions with the
majority Of the members&0f the legislature, and will
thus be able to complish something for Codingtona
