The first and fundamental essen

10 the speeches OF the demagogue:
they. have witnessed the attacks on

incompetent men; they have seen
II hampered and hindered and at
times almost paralyzed. and they
have heard Il and those who con-
Quoted It misrepresented and some
times abused. and they have become
disguised. The large majority have
a friendly feeling toward business
success, large or small. so long as it
is deceatly and fairly conducted.

' BOWLERS WILL
 MAKE BIG EFFORT
City Alleyists Must Extend Themselves in Or
 der to Annex Win.

That is surely some bowling match which they are pulling at the Y. M. c. A. Maybe you don't believe it. If that is the case, just drop into the Y lobby and take look at the scores posted on the bulletin board.
 The tournament is one to determine individual supremacy and select a team to meet the Douglasites in the big cup match. The Shelter City alleyists have made their boasts that they will win but the Bisbee Y boys don't think the border boys have a look-in.
 The trial contest will close. Satur- day night at 10. At that time the averages will be computed and the seven high men picked for the tourna- ment. All bowlers who haven't com pleted the required twenty-five games are urged to do so at once.
 Over one hundred men already have entered the contest but there still is room for a few more.
