This paper heartily approves the
stand which chairman Mullens of the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, and the Committee now 10
Its turn has taken ip declaring the
Ticket not closed till two weeks be-
fore the first August Primary. This
is truly democratic construction
of the law and leaves an open field to
those who were caught mapping by
the Ross Collins Decision which
clapped the ticket shut along with
the Soldiers and Sailors Ticket on
First Monday in May. We feel sure
that no county committee will have
the temerity Of taxing stand con-
trary to this policy, as their name
of democratic would become a
misnomer and Mass meetings of the
rank and file of the party might be
called by petition to overturn such
undemocratic attitude anyway. and
possibly designations called for on
such committees The war is over.
The most of the sailors and soldiers
are either home or on the way. and

all who wish to enter the lists aud
there may be some of the returning
soldiers themselves who desire to
take fling at practical politics and
should have free play to try out
their appeals to the popular will.

Raymond made the fastest time in
the furlong yesterday when he won his
heat in 2l 3-5 seconds. the same time
as he was. caught in when he captured
the intercollegiate title last year. Davis
took his. heat in % seconds fiat He
will have to do better than that to beat
out Frank Shea for second place today
if the weather conditions are right.
Slow Times, Made ...j..
The times made in the quarter and
half mile trials were q trife disappoint
ing. although it is true that the
athletes did not exert themselves to the
utmost. Rice and Rutgers made the
best "440' time. being clocked in
80 4 -5 seconds. Frank Shea. the Pitts
burgh champion. did only 81 seconds
His figures were tied by Dewey Rogers
of Penn, in the second heat. Shea. OF
/, course. is the big favorite for the It'll,
in the final.
Mayer. of Cornell. ran well within
himself in winning the first heat of tn,
half mile. At that he turned in 1
80 4-5 half. Neither Gustafson no.
Shaw. who won the second and thirt
heats. respectively, did better than tw,
minutes.
Mayer looks like the favorite in th'
$50 with both Gustafson and Shaw
also in the running. Mayer also ma!
pick up some points in the quarter fo
Cornell besides the counters Moakle!
is sure to score in the mile and tive
miles, elimination trials of which arr

johnson Should Score
Carl johnson. of Michigan. has ,
splendid chance to prove himself to b.
an exceptional athlet" today. He quail
fed in four events yesterday. the. 100
yard dash, the broad and high jump
and the low hurdles. 1t also is prob
able that he will score in every one o
these contests.
Bob Legendre. the Georgetown fresh
man, who won the intercollegiate pen
tathton championship in the Pennsyl
vania relays a month ago. qualified il

DUotuhs may u.
DENNSYLVANIA' qualified seventeen
men in the trial events of the forty
third annual track and field champion
ships in the Harvard Stadium yesterday
afternoon, but despite this apparently
excellent showing the chances of the
Red and Blue for championship laurels
in the finals today look poorer to me
than they did before the elimination
contests.
This statement is made despite the
fact that Cornell qualified seven less
men than PENNSYLVANIA. and it looks to
me as if the 1thacans' chances have i'm
proved. instead ofbecoming poorer. as is
supposed by the majority. of track fol-
lowers. ..,
Penn's Chance
Pennsylvania S hopes .lie, not only in
the Red and Blue athletes. but also in
Carl Johnson, of Michigan. and Savage,
of Bowdoin If these two men 60 to
the front and score high in the hur-
dies. then the Quakers will be in the
thick of the fight for the team cham :
pionship.
The biggest blow to Penn's chances
was the elimination of Carl Erdman,
the famous Princeton hurdler, through
| illness. Erdman was stricken with ton
silitis before the games and was unable
to compete This gives Cornell much
greater chance of heaping up points in
the hurdles.
With Smith and. Watt in the two
| timber events. Moakley was expected
to get quite few counters. but with
| Bickford in the lows as well, it Is
| likely that the Comedians will get as
many rs sixteen points in the obstacle
races.
They Show Form
As has been said. Johnson and Savage
will be two of Penn's best competitors
if they cut in on Cornell. And they are
| very likely to, for both showed good
form yesterday.
The Red and Blue must get a nun
ber of points in the sprints and pole
vault to win out in addition to the
markers that will be picked up in the
broad Jump. the quarter and half miles
Much will depend upon the sprinting OF
