JACK JOHNSON GETS ONE YEAR

Former Ring Champions Smile Gives
Way to Gloom as Sentence is Passed.
Chicago-Jack johnson. Negro, for
mer worlds heavyweight champion,
was sentenced to one year and a day
in Leavenworth penitentiary and fined
$1,000 by Federal Judge George A.
Carpenter for violation of the Mann
act.
The sentence reaffirmed that passed
on johnson in 1913, when he was con-
victed of transporting a white girl
from Pittsburgh to Chicago for i'm
moral purposes.
johnson later fed to Europe, for
feiting his $4,000 bonds, and from
then until few weeks ago, when he
surrendered on the Lower California
border, he was fugitive.
johnson was smiling broadly when
he entered the courtroom. When SEN
tence was passed, however, he ap-
peared much cast down, as he had
hoped for greater leniency.

As the result of a decision by the
state supreme court, no names will ap
pear on the ballot in the Seventh con-
gressional district of republican oandi-
dates for congress. In the primaries, o.
J. Kvale defeated A. j. Volstead for
the nomination, but the latter contested
the election on grounds of violations of
the corrupt practices act. Kvale was
found guilty and Judge Albert John
son, presiding at the trial, declared
Volstead elected and ordered his name
to replace Kvale g on the ticket at the
general election. Kvale made an ap-
peal, holding that the judge exceeded
his authority in ordering Volstead 3
name placed on the ticket, declaring
that this part Of the ticket should re-
main blank. The supreme court upheld
his contention. As matters now stand
either Volstead or Kvale may file as in
dependents or it is possible that spe-
cial primary may be held. It is also
said that the republican committee may
name a candidate. >. -

'SOI.ICTTUDE

Duluth Republican politi-
clans are greatly concerned for fear
Governor Cox will hurt himself politi-
cally by directing attention to their
campaign fund plans and their methods
of getting and using campaign money.
That's very sweet Of them,, and of
course it is not in any sense an effort
to distract attention from their own
campaign, out of which has come a new
and fitting Republican campaign slo-
gan: "Get the money, boys!'
But if the Republican organization
can afford to be caught in the sordid
business of rolling up Mark Hanna
campaign bank roll, Governor Cox can
wellsafford to call, attention to it and
to rebuke the source and objects of
such campaign methods.

Duluth, Minn.-Trial of a SAC, OOO, 900
damage suit in which Capt Alexander
McDougall, president of the McDou-
gall-Duluth Ship Building company,
seeks to recover from the Oliver Iron
Mining Company, for alleged infringe
ment of patent rights, will begin in
Duluth federal court.
Captain McDougall is suing to re-
cover 81 per ton on all ore mined by
the defendant company on the Mesaba
Range between 1908 and 1918. The
plaintiff alleges that by appropriating
to their own use an ore washing ma
chine, claimed to have been invented
by the plaintiff, the ore mined by the
defendant had an enhanced value of
81 per ton. Although no aggregate of
damages claimed is mentioned in the
complaint, mining experts agreed that
more than 100000 tons Of ore were
mined by the defendant on the range
during the ten year period. %-

G. o. P. Majority Will Be the;
Largest in History Of the
Party. ~
W0MEN:CAST BIG VOTE:
Parkhurst, Republican Candidate for
Governor, Won by Plurality Of
64,000-congressmen and'Lea-
islature Also Elected.

Portland, Me.-The Republican par.
didate for governor, swept Maine In
the state election by an unprecedented
majority
With only isolated towns and COM
munities to be heard from, which cast
total vote of about $500 in the state
election Of 1916, Parkhurst's plurality
over Bertram G. McIntire, Democrat,
was more than $4,000
The vote, from 557 precincts ont of
632 in the state: PaIkhurst, 1896;
McIntire, 64.296.
The largest Republican majority
previously recorded was $4,000 in 1885,
when Mckinley carried the state by
$4,000 In 1908 the state went Repub-
lican by 1854 for president Charles
E. Hughes carried the state in 1915
by a majority of 1888
Women Vote Republican.
Aside from the overwhelming major
ity, to which Republican leaders are
pointing as proof of a sweeping victory
in November, the outstanding feature
of the election was the apparent choice
of the new women voters Of a political
party While the total vote cast was
increased more than so per cent, the
Democratic gain is negligible.
The Republicans carried all four
congressional districts by large ma
jorities, re-electing Congressman Wal
lace H. White, Jr., John A. Peters and
Ira G. Hersey, and 'electing Carroll L..
nsedy of Portland, in the First dis
trict, where Congressman Louis B.
Goodall, was not candidate for re-
election.
Legislature Is Republican.
They also obtained a commanding
lead in the state legislature and elect
ed Ray L. Wardwell of Augusta as
state auditor.
The part played by the new factor
of the women's vote was evident In
all parts of the state women awaited
themselves of their first opportunity to
vote in state election, and the fig
ures~ showed that a large majority of
them voted the Republican ticket. The
vote for Parkhurst, on returns from
more than two-thirds of the state,
showed an increase of more than 49,
600 over that for Milliken, Republican,
four years ago. While Mc1ntyre's
vote was less than $500 more than
that of Curtis, Democrat, in the last
presidential year.
