SHAME ON YoUl

Right here in Mineral Point we have
them by the dozen Democrats who
were "whooping it up for Blaine pri-
mary election time, and who are now in
a nice trap because they have learned
that their party candidate for Governor,
Judge Lueck, is an ideal man for the
position.
The fact that less than score Of
votes were cast in this city for Lueck
at the primary out of the 100 total,
when 90. or greater per cent, would
have been a fair representation of the
Democratic party strength, is enough
to cause them to take themselves into
the back yard for a vigorous self-infiict-
ing kicking Shame on you
The Tribune did not at primary time,
and does not now, regard Blaine fit or
reliable tor the most insignificant posi-
ton in the gift of the people at the
ballot box.
The opportunity for the local Demo
Gratis to square themselves is still open
and that is at the November election

MINERAL POINT WINS AGAIN.

Lancaster fell before the onslaught
of the local high school gridders Friday
by a 25 to ID score. The Point team
entered the game with fierce drive
and during the first period scored three
touchdowns on the Lancaster team.
The first half ended with Mineral Point
in the lead by 10 to 0 score.
During the second half Lancaster
opened up with variety OF pass plays
which had our team bewildered for a
short time. The outcome of this show
err of passes was two touchdowns for
Lancaster. Mineral Point scored an
othef touchdown during the last quarter
The Mineral Point line was like a stone
wall ~ The Lancaster backs failed K
punc'ure it for any gains. The Point
ers continued to play straight football
and on off tackle plays and end runs
gained at will. Interference given the

game was bit ragged.
For Mineral Point there were no out
standing stars. Each man played a
regular game. The diminutive full
back, Grimm, played his best game of
the season; nothing seemed to stop him.
Clementson, big end for Lancaster,
was the star for the visitors.
The Mineral Point high school team
is going like house on fire this season
and with the support that is being given
them are expecting to end up the most
successful football season ever enjoyed

This association is for one purpose

have brought some very good results;
but there is great deal more to be
done along this line. The association
has decided to put its shoulder to the
wheel and push hard. 1t has been
proven by last year work that great
deal can be done, especially for the
physical welfare of the children. This
work cannot be carried on, however,

FOOTBALL ARMISTICE DAY.

The Athletic Department of the high
school in cooperation with the American
Legion has arranged to have the strong
Fennimore high school team meet the
local high school team on Armlstice
Day.
Fennimore has one of the strongest
teams in this section of the state. They
have not been scored on for the past
two seasons, having defeated such
strong teams as Boscobel, Lancaster,
Mount Horeb, and Richand Center.
Mineral Point has snappy little team
this year Thus far this season they
have won from Monroe, Lancaster,
Monticello and Dodgeville and have lost
only to Mount Horeb by huke and
narrow margin of two points IL was
hoped that Monnt Horeb could be OBJ
tanned for the Armistic Day Offering
A very attractive financial offer was
given TO them but they had mnch to
lose If defeated and not much to gain
if they defeated the local team. there
fore they failed to consider the offer.
Mineral Point should be evenly
matched for this game and any loAer of
this great American sport should not
miss seeing them in action. If you wish
to see two evenly matched teams fight
it out for the football supremacy of
Southwestern Wisconsin, be on hand at
the fair grounds Armistice Day.
