there would be considerable risk in

that Harrison's plan might work out,
but the campaigning of yearlings even
for the one mile distance does not
meet with general approval. This,
together with several othe rinnova-

for discussion at the meeting of the

In this connection, Harrison has been
quoted as follows:
More opportunity in this way
would be offered as an inducement
to get young horses to the races. I'm

ing events too much hardship Is
worked on the small owners. One
has to enter two or three years in

His subject was from the text Acts

powerful expression OF a mans char.
acter. II is vital to the entire com

ceptional thing it ought to be the
rule. No man can be a good Chris

zen can be a good citizen unless he
does his duty at the polls"
THE only straight ticket to vote is
the one with all the crooked names
