AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE ABOUT over
Red Sox Have All but
Clinched the Champion
ship Once More.
BY n. C. HAMILTON.
(United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


New York, Sept. 23.-The Red Sox
advanced a game nearer cinch for
the American league pennant by win
ming from Cleveland this afternoon.
At the same time Brooklyn, by splitting
a double header with the Cubs. went
back just the same distance and now
the Phillies are crowding the National
league leaders, only one game and a
half In the rear.
-Four more victories will cinch the
pennant for the Red Sox If the White
Sox win every game left on their
schedule. The Boston club has nine
contests left, Chicago has five and De-
troit six.
Philadelphia's advance in the Ma
tional league struggle was due en-
tirely to the remarkable efforts of
Grover Cleveland Alexander, who went
into the box, twice against Christy
Matbewson's Reds and won both con-
tests. The Reds were fresh from run
of three straight games won from the
Braves and were feeling pretty con-
fident
Alexander's second victory was
achieved without the Reds scoring a
run. which betters the premier Nation
al league hurler's record of shut out
victories in a single season. 1t now
stands at Is. Joe Tinker probably takes
a dream of delight in being able to
keep the Dodgers from advancing over
the weakness of the Cubs. Tinker is
said to have blamed Charles H. Eb-
bets, president of the Brooklyn club for
rumor that he is about to retire as
manager of the Chicago club and for

DEMAND HEAVY FOR
PACKARD TW|N-S|X

The Packard Motor Car company
has delivered 1903 twin six motor cars.
The factory is exerting every effort to
cope with the freight car shortage and
make deliveries. With the coming of
spring weather customers are grow
ing even more impatient to receive
their cars.
C. j. Moore, operating manager of
the Packard factory, has just returned
from a visit to dealers establish
ments in the largest cities of nine
western and Pacific coast states.
Everywhere l went the reports ]
got of the car were more than salts
flying" he said. Owners not only pro-
nounce it the finest car ever produced
by the Packard organization, but the
superior of any in this country"
A. r. Corbin, assistant sales mana :
ger, predicts that the demand for twin
skies will be even greater as soon as
the roads are in good shape.
The men who have them are de-
lighted, and the men who haven't been
able to get deliveries will be more in
sistent than ever" he declared. II pre-
dict demand far exceeding any pos
sible supply"

MAXWELL CLUTCH
SOLVES PROBLEM
Annoying Feature in Many
Cars Is Entirely Done
Away With.

Sudden taking hold of the clutch of
an automobile, that frequent and. ex-
asperating annoyance in the operation
of the ordinary machine which all but
precipitates the passengers from the
car and works considerable damage to
the motor car in general, is said to
have been completely eliminated in the
Maxwell through a unique construction
of the Maxwell clutch.
Engineers and expert automobile
builders for many years have sought
solution of this problem, the same
being the subject of painstaking in
vestigation and experimentation. To a
greater or lesser degree it is said this
damaging annoyance in the driving of a
motor car has been eliminated and 1t is
stated that the Maxwell Motor COM
pany has been eminently successful in
completely doing away with even the
possibilities of sudden gripping
clutch.
In order to obtain this desirable fea-
ture in automobile construction the
Maxwell clutch assembly housing has
been so constructed that the clutch is
continually subjected to an oil bath
When operating the clutch, in making
gear changes, the clutch falls back into
position in such manner that the
film of oil which gathers on the clutch
lining is gradually. but rapidly
squeezed from the lining, the clutch II
the same time taking a firmer and
firmer hold. The operation is auto
matte, but absolutely sure, and without
jar to the cars.
The speed with which 1t Is accom-
pished depends largely upon the
speed at which the car is travelling
and the dexterity of the driver in MAX
ing gear changes.
1t is stated by the best posted au-
thorities that rough operating clutch
does an Unreasonable amount of dam
age to a car in a short period of time
producing quickly rear axle trouble
motor trouble and finally laying up the
i car. A smooth evenly operating
clutch is therefore regarded as being
highly essential to a long, useful life OF
an automobile hence, the Maxwell
builders make an especial point of this
feature of that machine.

He has never had such audiences
anywhere as he drew in Indiana. Adtel
T. Hayes. state chairman, who has
been on the hughes special since it
entered the Hoosier state, declared his
belief tonight that this outpouring of
the voters was a certain omen OF Re-
publican success next November.
Frank H. Hitchcock, former national
Republican chairman, who has been on
the train a day or so, declared the
crowds almost unbelievable. A. T. Hert.
western Republican campaign manager,
was entirely confident that Indiana's
Is electoral votes would go to Hughes
and Fairbanks. Hughes himself, slim
ulated to almost superhuman efforts
by the welcome he has had for three
days, also appeared utterly confident.
At least $1,000 people lined down
town streets and yelled and cheered
their greeting, Hughes standing in his
auto during most of the parade. Tom
1lnson hall was, so packed that great
difficulty was experienced in getting
the nominee into the hail. The audi
ence had been waiting for more thas
an hour and left off its enthusiasm on
Hughes appearance in a wild pande-
monium.
HE LIKES INDIANA.
Indiana has my heart" the nomi-
nee began. Indiana also has big
part of my voice.
He swung into n laudatory narrative
of Republican achievements since its
inception and then into listing of
what he called Democracys broken
promises.
He denounced the Democratic claim
that they had aided business and held
the shipping bill n menace" He as
sailed the Underwood tariff bill as de-
structive of business and repudiated
the claim that the Democrats had
properly legislated against child Ia
Dor or for workmen's compensation,
then took up the Mexican issues.
1t was in the connection with his at
tack on Mexican issues that Hughes
ment in his speech Of acceptance that
the Democratic party had professed
and stood by it's professions that small
and weak states should be trated as big
ones was not lived up to in Mexico.
While Hughes was discussing lack
of prosperity under the Underwood
bill. some one In the audience yelled:
How about 1902" The candidate
shouted at him: I'VE had a monetary
condition in 1907 which the Republican
party ,rectified the next year with the

John Raney, of Rapid City, perform
ed the unusual feat of running down

Raney, in turning the corner of a

which was grazing by the roadside.
the antelope became frightened at
the approaching automobile and
headed straight down the road at
top speed, apparently making no eff
fort to escape to the brush which at
some points skirted the highway.
Raney went full speed ahead in pur-
suit of the animal. and, after an ex-
citing chase of six miles, the antelope
became so exhausted that it dropped
in the road.
Raney stopped his car, tied the
legs of the antelope together and
brought his trophy back to town as
evidence Of the speeding qualities of
his car.

TRIO HURT IN
BAD AUTO SPILL
RADNIER, DRIVING MA
CHINE, DANGEROUSLY MUIR
ED.-ROUNDHOUS MAN
HURT AGAIN.

Badly injured in an automobile
accident of Saturday evening, Charles
Radmer, John Shannahe, and Ole
Anderson are lying today in a local
hospital in a serious condition. The
spill occurred when Radmer, who
was driving his automobile, turned
to avoid a couple of other machines,
and crashed squarely into buggy
which he had not noticed.
The three men and couple of
other friends We're coming into the
city from the south. When about
four miles from town, they met car
going south and turned out for 1t. 1t
was closely followed by another ma
chine, and in pulling out of the way
into the buggy, which had previous
ly been out of sight. Although the
buggy was entirely demolished, its
occupants escaped unframed.
The injured men We're brought to
Mitchell and medical aid summoned
at once. They We're taken to the
hospital. where they remained in an
Unconscious state during the entire
night. A thorough examination re-
vealed the fact that Radmer had his
| right ClaNlcle broken ana Jour FlDS
ripped loose from the breastbone.
His mouth also was badly damaged,
but he will recover unless pneu-
monia sets in. Anderson has
fractured skull and conclusion Of
the brain, and although not entire
/, ly conscious yet, may live.
John Shannahe, the third mem
Der of the group, is no stranger at
the hospital, having been taken
there after the explosion of the Mil
waukee roundhouse on September 6
with his head badly burned. His
scalp is now skinned rather serious
ly and although unconscious all of
yesterday he regained his senses to-
day and will live.
After the wounded men were talk
en- to the city, the automobile was
left standing beside the road. Some
thief, seeing good opportunity
took possession of it, stripping 1t
of it's tires, prestolight tank. lamps,
and other fittings which could be
later sold. No trace of the robbers
has been secured at present.

"The Case of Hughes" is present
ed in the current issue of the
Worlds Work" by Frederick NJ.
Davenport, who was one of Gov
Hughes chief lieutenants in the New
York state senate in 1909 and 1910
and who was the Progressive party
nominee for governor of New York
in 1914. Mr.. Davenports article is
refreshing, because it is free from
partisan spirit or bias. The following
is one of the most significant and sug
sestive paragraphs in his contribu-
ton:
Political, military, economic, Soc
ial and spiritual reconstruction is the
job. Which is better fit for it, the
Democratic party and Wilson, or the
Republican party and Hughes?
think the first and foremost thing to
consider is, which party is fit for it?
Neither. as Of late constituted. Meth
er in recent times has exhibited the
trait of integrity to the country COM
bined with efficiency Probably, on
the average, the Democratic party
has shown more laundering integrity
and the Republican party more cum
ming efficiency. In addition. the Re-
publican party has always had a
keener national sense than the Dem
ocratic. But the practical blend of
nationality, efficiency and integrity
has not appeared in either party in
our generation. And we shall not
make permanent and orderly pro-
gress until we have such blend in
one or the other of the great parties.
Can Wilson create it from the Demo-
cratic organization sooner than
Hughes from the Republican? 1t must
be done soon and done we'll, if Amer
lea is to prosper"
There is not word in the above
quotation that The Republican does
not believe to be true. 1t is not con-
sidering the presidential candidates
from party standpoint. 1t agrees
with Mr.. Davenport that neither of
the major parties as now constituted
is fit for the great task ahead This
9aper would prefer new or differ
mt political organization. But it ism t I
question of what we would like,
but what we can get Either Mr.. /
Hughes or Mr.. Wilson will be the
next president. Either the Republican
Dr. the Democratic party will be in |
control. The only question left for
he voters is whether the Republican
'arty led by Hughes or the Demo-
ratio party led by Wilson will be
more capable of meeting the prob
ems just ahead.
The chief reason why the Repub-
lean party is the more promising, in
he opinion of this paper, is that it
1ust justify its existence by its own
ecord; whereas the Democratic
arty will continue to exist regard S
ess of its record. The backbone oils
ne Democratic party is found in the {
c nth. Southern Democrats are and {
oparently always will be Democrats, e

A FOOLISH LAW.


The South Dakota statute which
limits the amount paid to members
of the board Of county commission
ers to $500 per annum, is certainly
a fool law"
Could anything be more illogical,
less businesslike, than to employ
three or five men to supervise the
county's government, to see that each
county officer is doing his work
properly, and to direct the work of
Improving and maintaining all the
roads in the county, and then say
tiiat they can only be paid for only a
small part of their time?
1t is just like hiring man to
harvest a field OF wheat and then
telling him that he can work only
long enough to put up half of it or
a third of it,
commissioners, the state should en-
courage them to put in more time.
AS rule the commissioners are men
Of affairs, with business of their own
to look after. The danger is that
they will give too little attention to
q county's business, instead of too
much. Further, the state can be
very sure that if any commissioner
should spend needless time in his
Office, it would be brought to the at
tention of his constituents. For that
matter, it seldom would be possible
for any man to be elected to that
office Ii he were willing to defraud
the county by working when it is not
required. For the commissioners are
ali chosen from small districts and
il severy case they must be we'll and
personally known to the voters.
The "fool law under which q
member of the Dawson county board
has been sued for money paid him
in excess of the maximum fixed by
law, ought to be repealed by the mex
legislature In this case there is nc
charge that the work paid for was
not done. Would it not have beer
worse for the county to have lief
the work undone? Then, if that is the
alternative, why permit such al
idiotic law to remain in force?
the law is going to presume tina

have TO do with the changed indus
trial and social conditions. Frantic
appeals to vote no or to vote yes will
have very little to do with it In
deed most of the argument on either
side is rather irrelevant and certainly
represents mostly a waste of effort.
AS a question of policy. the adop-
ton of the statewide prohibition
amendment is the logical thing be
cause it is move toward national
prohibition. Ii the state SO votes,
then the states representatives in
congress will be more likely to sup
port a resolution to submit a prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stituton. With a semi barbarous ma
ton like Russia adopting nationwide
and perpetual prohibition, there is
little argument left to be made
against it,
A vote for the prohibition amend
ment is therefore virtually a vote for
national prohibition. 1t as as near
such a vote as can be cast until the
amendment itself is submitted. 1t is
going to be carried in South Dakota
because behind it is a sober and sem
sible conviction that has been grow
ing for many years. And with that
conviction the agitator Oh either side
has had very little to do.
