etched his niche in the Hall of Fame by
winning the International Lawn Tennis
Associations tournament at Wimble-
don. England. and then wrestling the
title from the holder, Gerald l.. Patter =
son, of Australia, in the challenge
round.
uas thrown out by the stewards and he
was not allowed to compete in the dia :

decided to go to Antwerp for the Olym-
pic games.
Had Right Dope
There he felt sure he would either
meet the winner of the Diamond scu;ls
or the man who should eliminate him in
the single sculling trials. This came
to pass. Kelly clashed in the finals
with Beresford. the Diamond sculls
victor, and won with ease. Kelly could
easily have won by much wider mar
gin but he saved himself for the double
sculls which he and Costello won a
short time later.
When Kelly arrived last week from
Europe he stated that he wanted to
rive up single sculling and stroke an
eight. This means in all probability
that the Vesper Yacht Club once more
will begin to develop a championship

eights that rowed in Paris, Canada and
England a score Of years ago. For
some time Vesper men have wanted to

CAMPAING FUNDS AGAIN.

Another hue and cry has been raised CON
ccrning the size OF campaign funds and their
source. Hypocrisy Inslncerity!
Both campaign managements will accept
campaign contributions from any source and
ir any amount conveniently finding a way to
enter them in the account In such a manner az
not to give offense.
All this fuss about campaign contributions is
thoughtless prejudice on one side. demagogc
cant on the other, II cost the government mil
lions of dollars to conduct each OF its loan
drives. An enormous portion OF every Red
Gross church drive Is consumed In organza-
tion and collection. Any undertaking, to be
effective. must be backed by organization. Any
organization costs money-proportionae to the
territory covered.
There Is moro impropriety about a mans
donation to his favorte political organization
than about his contribution to his church, his
lodge or the Red Cross any other philan-
thropc undertaking.
The great danger is not In where the money
comes from. the amount. but in the manner
bt its expenditure, billion dollars expended
in legitimate expense--advertising speakers,
literature and campaign OF thorough educa ton
would not contain the slightest immortality.
Ten thousand dollars used for the purpose Of

agreeing to support Cullison In the
northwest, and Small in the north
east, they are in fact fairly keeping
hands off. Chairman Harris. while
reported to be personally favorable
to Judge Harreld. on the grounds
that he would have the best chance
OF election. has kept hands off re-
ligiously throughout the campaign.
Harreld Picked TO Win.
The situation in the republican
contest at the close of the campaign
appears to be this: Harreld is out
in front with a very decided lead.
Just who he will have to beat is
problematic. His own organization
considers Cullson in the Eighth
district his only danger. His head
quarters asserts that he will carry
the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth.
Sixth. Seventh, and probably the
First district. The Eighth is con-
ccded to Cullison. and Is the strong
est republican district in the state.
SO much so that IL the full vote
gets out and goes practically solid
for Cullison, the remaining thirteen
candidates splitting the vote in the
remaining seven districts may pos
sibly put the Eighth district man
under the wire ahead.
This, however. is not considered
probable. Harreld himself is abso-
lutely confident. Other experienced
politicians who refuse to be quoted
are equally confident. Welty, of
Bartlesville. has been making a very
active campaign in the closing week,
and the report Is that he has made
some progress. Cade. the war-horse
at Shawnee, has made a very ag-
gressive campaign by mail. In those
precincts where a newer man has
not managed TO reach the voters,
the name OF Cade may attract at
tention on the ticket. Few repub-
licans in the state but have heard
OF Cash Cade.
These factors all combine to make
the outcome somewhat uncertain,
but with the trend unmistakably to
Harreld.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 3l.--The
most sensational primary campaign
In the history OF the state came to
a close tonight with factional feel
ing at blood heat in the ranks OF
tho major party, and Doth sides
claiming "A steal is impendlns
The contest that has absorbed the
interest of the state from the very
beginning is that between senator
Gore and Congressman Ferris for
the senatorial nomination on the
democratic ticket 1t has subor-
dinated every other contest in either
party with the single exception of
the race between Judge Thraves and
Bob Echols for corporation commits

Tonight. here at the capital of the
state, 1t is possible to hear anything
in the way OF wild claim or vicious
charge, and almost impossible to Sc
euro facts on which an intelligent
forecast of the result can be based
The Gore headquarters claim the
senator will be nominated by from
20, 900 to $4,000 majority over Fer
ris. But the Gore men cannot claim
any better or faster than can the
Ferria men.
From experienced politicians of
both parties who are not closely
lined up with either candidate 1t is
easily possible to secure informa-
tion which seems TO justify the con-
fidence In evidence at Gore head
quarters. Men who have travelled
over the state in their usual voca-
ton, and candidates for other Of
nd
Gratis, unanimously agree that the
surface indications are that Gore is
the strongest of the two men in
practically all parts of Vie state;
that II his support in the country
