STREET SWEEPER
AGAIN IN ACTION
WILL BE USED TO ASSIST THE
NEGROES AS OFTEN AS
OCCASION DEMANDS.

The cleaning of the streets with the
street sweeper has recommended, and
the work is being done by this means
as often as it is needed. Ordinarily
the negroes can do as well as the
sweeper, but on big days, from this
time on, the sweeper will be used.

mind you, he never mentioned that he had been paid nearly ffty-eight thousand dollars during those eight years for that very purpose Not only that, but he never mentioned either that during those eight years while the people were working to pay him his salary he has never found time enough to frame up a bill that would cure the hell that he saw in the others. He was too doggone busy looking after Jim, the great T AM"
 Leaving the infamous Alexander bill, he pro- ceeded to abuse Shackleford, Irving, Faulkner, NIurane and others, who he said wanted to do the bossng in Alaska, to which he is much op- posed for the good reason that he wants to do that himself. He has tried to boss now for ff- teen years He naturally hates like sixty to quit Moving along in his usual tirade of abus es, lie finally landed on the newspapers which he said had sold out for three hundred dollars" And he repeated, For three hundred dollars ; just think He further said that there was newspaper man in the audience who had sold out in this campaign. That's Wickersham ey cry time. He is always ready to accuse others. He is so damnable deceitful himself that he is ever ready to believe everybody else is. But if he had reference to the Progressive-4Iner all we can say is that he is a liar, and as such is a defamer of character. And we shall go fur ther; We have the word of at leasr two news paper publishers in Alaska to whom the Dele gate paid them money four years ago for their support. It is proper for newspaper to ac- cept money from the Delegate. oul 1t is all wrong when it comes from the other fellow That is typical of Wick.
 We have always tried to be fair vith 1he Dele gate We have always given him credit when in our opinion we thought credit was due him, but our opposition to his coming election dates back from the time he said, Not in forty years will help you in this natter If the Delegate thought that he could throw dirt and we would stand that he might rub it in, he was mistaken We could say a great deal about the Delegate that would not be to his credit either However and so far aS we are personally concerned, we feel that we have answered his charge. if the charge was intended for Us. In conclusion it would probably be well for the Delegate to re- member Lincoln's old saying which applied here would read thus: The Delegate may have fooled all the AlaskanS sometime; and he mar be able to fool some all the time but he cannot fool them all all the time

ANSWERING THE GREAT T AM"

Saturday night. Delegate WickerSham ad- dressed an audience of some two hundred peo- ple ten or fifteen of whom were women. Just by way of drawing his audiences attention to himself. he started-politician Style-to fatter our vanity by stating how much We had progress ed-not with his help we are glad to say-and all that bull con. But as it always has been with the delegate, he never goes before an audience unless 1t is to abuse some one, and Saturday night was no exception.
 From his spread of bull con- he proceeded to give an example of the great T AM; and re- luctantly-very much so proceeded to explain why he never helped Us in saving the halibut traffic for this town instead of letting it go to Prince Rupert. He declared that he had been told that another man was to handle the bill for us, and ended his subject by stating T WAS NOT OFFENDED, BECAUSE l DID NOT CARE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BILL and he added, it was defeated" Just as much as to say, T TOLD YOU SO' Per haps by this statement he had an idea that he would fool his audience; and while he may have fooled some, he failed miserably to fool all. in that he failed to mention the answer he gave our representative who was sent to Juneau dur ing the last session of the territorial legislature
 
 assistance in that matter None of us shall ever forget the answer he gave Mr. Strong. His answer was, Not in forty years will l help you in that natter Wick failed to mention the other side of the story But that's him every time. He is great for telling only one side of a story.
 From that he went on with made-for-t the-oc- casion tone of voice and said that he had discov- cred dastardly crime, in that the people of AL aska were to be exterminated by ravenous cor poration gobblerS who had what is known as the Alexander Bill' already framed up that if al- lowed to be enacted into law would ruin us con- pletely. More bull con followed, such as hew the dear people were being robbed by the tools of internal corporations; and all that; and he ad- ded the bill was merely repetition of former bills which he had defeated, only phrazed diff ferent and winded up by saying in ponderous manner, T FOUGHT SIMILAR BILLS FOR EIGHT YEARS AND DEFEATED THEM ALL; ; AND I'LL DEFEAT THIS ONE TOO" And

.RuN-OFF PRIMARY IS
DRAWING LARGE VOTE
PROBABLY 500 VOTES WILL BE
CAST FOR SENATORIAL
CANDIDATES. TO-DAY.
Looks As III Culberson Will Have
Slight Lead in the City, Though
CoIq,litt Men Claim Good
Vote.

Quite heavy vote is being poll
ed in the senatorial run-off primary
election today despite the fact that q
slight vote was predicted. 1t was
expected at 2:30 this afternoon that
the total vote in Waxahachie would
be in the neighborhood of 500. Err
ly this morning voters began filing
into the voting booths to cast their
ballots. Friends of the two candi-
dates have been out urging heavy
vote in an effort to make as good a
showing as possible.
When a representative of The
Daily Light visited the various vot-
ing booths this afternoon it was
found that 466 votes had been cast.
The election judges and clerks had
kept pretty we'll up with the count
and it is expected that complete
returns may be had from the city
boxes within a few minutes after
the polls close. The vote at that
hour stood: West Waxahaehie $50.
north Waxahachie 1913, east Waxa-
hachie AZ and south Waxahaohie
50.
When asked ii the vote being cast
was confined to democrats the cleo
ton judges said so far as they had
been able to learn no republicans
had asked to vote.
A guess at the result of the cleo
ton would give Culberson slight
lead over Colquitt in Waxahachie,
though the Colquitt men are claim
ing a heavy vote.

DEIAG A FEW KIND WORDS
FOR SISlER AND HORhsbY
By HAMILTON
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, August 26.-St
Louis, besides being the alleged hot
test place in the world where they
play baseball, can claim one more
distinction. Included in the ranks
of her two major league baseball
clubs are two of the games most
brilliant and versatile performers.
With George sisler outclassing all
rivals as a utility man in the
American league, his fellow citizen.
Roger Hornsby of the Cardinals
leads all opposition in the National
organization.
Hornsby, who is playing his first
year as a big Lacquer, has played all
four positions in the infield and has
done mighty we'll at it. OF late he
has been prancing around first base,
but he has done most of his playing
at third base and shortstop. He is
said to be some shueks as catcher,
too, but so far there he'd been no
need for him to don wind-pads and
mask.
Sisler, besides being star per-
former at first base, is great out
fielder, and can pitch bangup
game. His fork-hand style of throw
ing the ball handicaps him some as
an infielder, but short time ago
he went to third when Jimmy Austin
was laid up and turned in a perfect
fielding day. Sisler, college pro-
duct, never played minor league
game. He is spending his second
season in the big show.
Each of these stars is batting
phenom of no mean ability. Horns
by, since the start Of the season,
has not fallen below the 800 mark,
while Sisler is cracking the ball
right close to that and probably
will go over it before the close of
the season.
There isn't man in either league
who can compare with these two
marvels as utility man. Proba-
bly, Clarence Mitchell of the Reds
or Charley Mullen of the Yankees,
comes nearest.
Mitchell is star outfielder and
can play first base satisfactorily.
Likewise, he is good pitcher.
Mullen is a flashy first sacker
and can play the outfield or second
base. Lee Magee of the Yanks is an
excellent infielder as we'll as an out
filder.
