ROW BREAKS UP GAME
AT SALISBURY TODAY
bury on Account of UnfairneSS of
Umpire GlattS.

The game of ball played at Sails
bury this morning broke up in a big
row. Cambridge walked off the field
in the third inning, after Umpire
Glatts ordered Jimmy" Andrews off
the field for no cause at all. a big
argument then started, and Glatts
threatened to put several other play
ers out of the game, and inSultsd
several other players and spectators
Cambridge then decided not to play
unless Andrews was reinstated, and
as Glatts would not umpire with An
drews playing, and as White would
not allow anyone else to umpire the
game, it was called off and forfeited
to Salisbury, in the third inning, with
the score two to nothing, in favor of
Cambridge. Manager Wilson will
enter protest with President Jackson.
Although the game was short,
good play was made by Williams, at
second, and a good stop by Spedden.
Spedden also hit two-bagger, as
did Twining, of Salisbury.
Manager White will be here tomor-
row with the Salisbury team, and
Umpire Glatts, and a good crowd is
expected at the game.

and vicinity are being furnished
splendid ball by the local team. The
last two games, in particular, have
been exceptionally well played, and
of type that should draw a large
number of spectators. 1t is true that
some hard luck has befallen the
team, one or two men have been out
of the game temporarily, one or two
others have left, but the team is now
all right again, and playing the kind
of ball that not only wine, but that
is deserving of the patronage of low
ers of the game. 1t, of course, re-
.uuires cash to run baseball team,
and to get a large proportion of this
it is necessary that the game should
be well attended. While Cambridge
is having the best ball in its history,
the attendances are smallest. This is
not right.
On the last page of this issue will
be found an announcement OF a
number of the attractions that will
be found at the Dorchester County
Fair next week These include many
sensational acts, each of which is
alone worth the price of admission.
In addition to these, the manage
ment OF the ASSOCIATION mas secured
five additional attractions that will
be sent direct from New York, hav-
ing appeared at no other Peninsula
Fair. In making the contract for
free and other amusem ents at the
Fair this season, the management
specified that there should be a GER
tain number of free attractions, and
in attending the other Fairs they
found that none of them had the
number specified for Cambridge. The
matter was Immediately taken VI
with the Company furnishing the at
fractions, with the result that they
were notified yesterday that five ad
ditional attractions were being sen
directly from New York to Cam
bridge to make up the number re
quired.

you. That is the story the returns

A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR ON A
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT

Salina Journal: About three
weeks ago at the Democratic pri-
mary election in Texas, former Gov.
Oscar B. Colquitt defeated Senator
Culberson by about $1,000 votes.
! Governor Colquitt made his cam
paign on the ground that Woodrow
Wilson has been the greatest fail
ure in our history. Governor Col
quit gave out an interview in which
he said:
1.-THE Wilson administration has
been the greatest failure in the his
tory of the presidency. The south is
a land flowing with milk and honey.
1t has made one of its biggest and
best crops in its history and yet be-
cause of the utter incompetency of
the government its business Is pros
trated, it's credit impaired and
thousands of its people are starv-
ing"
This, mark you, from a lifelong
Democrat seeking the Democratic.
nomination for United States sena-
tor, Governor Colquitt even goes
further and bitterly denounces the
presidents Mexican policy and the
holesale destruction of American
lives and loss of property. For the
first time in its history men are
talking about Texas going Repub--
lican; for the first time in its his
tory a Democratic administration
at Washington is fighting tooth and
nail to save itself from defeat in
the strongest Democratic state in
the nation. 1t is said on most relia-
BILE authority that 80 per cent of
the Democrats living in western and
southwestern Texas will for the
first time in their history vote a
Republican ticket.

George Harvey. in the August is

SPEAKING OF sEcr1oNALIsM

If President Wilson is really go
ing to speak on "sectionalism'
there are other things which be
should take up and discuss at
length.
He should recall, for example
that the house of representatives
has thirty-two important commit
tees, and t~hirty-one of these have
southern chairmen.
He should recall that half the
cabinet members, as we'll as the
president, are of southern birth, al
though in area, population, wealth
education and other factors the
south is far behind the north and
middle west and west.
He should recall that-reversing
the old carpet-bagging days which
Mr.. Wilson urges us to forget
federal employees engaged in strict
ly local work in the north have been
replaced duringg this administra-
ton by southerners with no super
ior qualifications and no knowledge
of the locality.
He should recall that Che per-
sonally has so made appointments
that only one southern state has
failed to obtain at least one s1O.-
600 job.
He should recall that the south
ern Democrats have compelled gov
eminent by caucus, and. being in
the majority of their own party.
have forced even the covering north
ern Democrats to stand by them. BY
this means the southern pacificts
blocked preparedness for years.
He should recall that three south
ern states were given in pork"
more money than their total eontri-
button in taxes to the federal gov
eminent. Another received a fourth
