HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS FORT
in FAST GAME SO To 0

Watertown high school football
team showed under the Fort Atkinson
eleven Saturday at Fort Atkinson 80
to 0, in one of the cleanest and snap
piest games this year. The ball was
kept in the Forts territory during the
game. They had one chance to score
but the impregnable defense of the
locals rendered it impossible to make
any gains. The Fort made a few
changes in players during the game
but Thomas kept his lineup intact
The forward passes of the locals
worked every time. Touchdowns
were made by Buffmeier, Archie and
Kaminski. The Forts punted through
out the game and with the exception
of two trials faile1 to make any at
tempt at scoring
This gives WatertowH a good claim
for the championship OF southern Wis
consin as they have been scored on
only once and have not lost a game.
One game remains before the close
Of the season and that at Waupun
next Saturday, and the boys are going
there with the intention of keeping
the ledger clean

It is said that Joseph E. Davies, a
former Watertown resident, born and
reared here you might say, would be
acceptable to the administration at
Washington for United States senator
to succeed the late Paul o. Husting.
Mr.. Davies was one of the original
progressive variety of democrats who
helped to bring about the first election
of Woodrow Wilson. He was chosen
at the outset of the first Wilson ad-
ministration as Commissioner of Cor
porations, and when that bureau was
merged into the Federal Trade Com
mission, he became chairman, and has
since been an active member of this
organization Of the government, which
has grown to a place of foremost i'm
portance in the industrial, civil, and
wartime problems of the nation.
For several years there have been
two wings of the democratic party
and it is extremely doubtful that they
could be cemented together in a sena-
torial fight. However, that is not i'm
possible, but it will be time enough to
take up that phase of the question
when the time for a senatorial election
comes around.

WELL KNOWN SOPRANO
To Be HEARD HERE

Practically all of the prominent
music lovers of Watertown will be in
the audience that will hear the pro-
gram to be given by Betsy Lane Shep-
nerd, the young and noted American
soprano, in Turner Opera house on
Friday evening, November %. This
charming and capable artist, who has
won a position in the foremost ranks
OF American sopranos within a re-
cent period Of time, is being brought
TO WatertOWn by Mr.. E. M. Stapleton
and invitations to the affair, which
will be by complimentary card only,
nave been rendered to many who are
known to have an interest in music.
The invitations that were sent out
nave brought many special requests
lor cards and these all have been
given consideration by. Mr. Stapleton.
AS result, an audience that will be
unusual in size and exclusive in char
acter.
The artist, who is exceedingly we'll
known in New York where she stu
died for several years under Sergei
hlibausky and Frank La Forge, only
commenced to tour at comparative
Iy recent date but already she has
Won wide favor Wherever she has
oeen heard, critics have been enthu-
aiastic in their praise, and the Won
der has often been expressed that
she remained SO long at her studies
II New York before undertaking the
work which she recently entered and
which she is so superbly qualified to
perform. With a voice that is clear.
flexible and wide of range and a mu
steal intelligence of a high order, she
IS capable OF infusing with rare beauty
all forms OF song. Under the spell of
ler voice and personality the classics
OF Brahms develop new charms and
old and simple folk songs become
classics.
In many ways, her appearance here
IS an event of decided Importance in
musical circles and it can be said
With assurance that the memory OF
ner recital will be as productive of
pleasure as the anticipation of it ap-
pears to be.

TONED FOR THE PLACE.

Who j. to be collector Of the new con

Brownsville and Eagle Pass districts are
to be welded!
The question j. one which j. arousing
intense interest, both in Texas and in
Washington, and perhaps elsewhere. san
Antonio. n headquarters of the new dis
trict, naturally l. expected to furnish the
collector. With two candidates in the
field, that city j. aroused as IT has not
been perhaps since the last presidential
election. Brownsville, as one of the chief
supports OF the district is also greatly in
terested in the outcome of the contest.
which j. scheduled To come to a conclu-
sion within the coming two weeks.
Charles Il. MATTERS and Thomgs A.. oCle-
man, the rival candidates. both are backed
by men who are among the most prominent
and substantial of San Antonio. n well
n of other places IN the state. The Tor
mer has the endorsement of Senator Sher-
pari. while the latter j. endorsed by Sen
ator Culber>on. and Congressman Garner
and Slaydcn are also backing Mr.. Cole
man. Judged BY the fact that Mr.. Cole
man has the support of the two reprcsen-
~tativcs last named. the balance may np-
pear To be somewhat IN favor OF Mr.. Cole
man. Ii i recalled. however. that Mr. Wat
ter~ was campaign manager for Senator
Culberson in the %latier'S last race for the
senate. In fact. Mr.. Walters u given

Culber>on. In view of this fact. Il l. not
expected that Mr.. CulberSon will be- par
ticularly active in opposition to Mr.. Wat
tiers, even though he has surprised the lat
tiers friends in coming out for hiS rival.
Going back a bit further. political his
tory reveals the fact that MIR. Waters was
a very active supporter Of Woodrow VII
son for president. while Mr.. Coleman was
not distinguished IN this respect. - far a.
can bc learned. Mr.. Walters i said t.
have raised the first hundred dollars ir
San Antonio %in~support of Wilson. which
may possibly be scored a. a mark in hi
favor.
Mr.. Coleman, on the other hand. has
back of him many wears a. one If the
richest and most prominent cattle and
ranchmen of Southwest Texas. lie l. ~aid
to own large ranch Interests in Mexico.
Tie would therefore naturally WELD great
influence. and doubtless will make 4 very
strong fight for the appointment. Judg
ing BY the influences lined mp hack Of the
two candidates, it looks very much like y
repetition Of the fight If four wears ago.

their best efforts in behalf of Mr.. rabbi
