Drought fame to himself in the con-
test with Maryville, Saturday. Bob
bie's spectacular broken field run
ming was the outstanding feature
OF the game. His generalship was
superb. Bobby LAWN, the midget
quarterback from Paris, further
demonstrated that he has improved
vastly since last season, and ran the
Wildcats iii perfect form. His SEN

work of John George Heber, end
was the outstanding feature OF the
contest
The Leader says: LAWN was the
life Of the whole team during the
first half and his total gains were
greater than the gains o. all the
other members of the team. His
style of running is very much like
that of Rabbit Curry, of Wander

TO
''PLACE'TAFT
AND HUGHES
Expected to Be Appointed
as Nominee Swings for
Their Support.
BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.


Washington, d. C., Aug. 26. -
Charles Evans Hughes and Viii
liam Howard Taft probably will be
appointed to the first two vacan-
cies on the supreme court of the
United States that may occur al
ter March 4 next in the event that
Senator Harding is elected pres1-
dent.
This is the impression in we'll
informed quarters here where 1t is
also stated rather positively that
there will be at least two vacancies
before long on the bench OF the
highest court in the land. The GER
tainty that Messrs. Hughes and
Taft would be the choice OF Re-
publican president is based upon
logical circumstances as we'll as
the known friendship and admira-
ton which Senator Harding has for
the two men who have contributed
so much toward the Republican
cause in the past.
Happy As Justice.
Mr.. Hughes was on the bench,
happy and contented, when the call
of the Republican party came in
1916. He was reluctant to be a can
didate. He didn't lift a finger to
get the nomination. Indeed, it was
feared he would not accept and the
story goes that Mr.. Taft who orig
inally appointed Mr.. Hughes to the
bench spent the evening before the
Chicago nomination with Mr..
Hughes in Washington and per-
suaded him to make the race. He
made the fight and was defeated.
His return to practice, has been lu-
crative but those who know Hughes
best say he has been homesick for
the supreme bench. ~.
Taft Put Hughes On Bench.
AS for Mr.. Taft. there was q va
cancy on the bench Just before JUS
tice Clarke of Ohio was appointed
and the friends of the Republican
ex-president wrote many letters to
President Wilson urging him to ap;
point Mr.. Taft. The White House

ment on these things but at the

pace the room. His vehemence
subsided and he talked in slow.

any Irishman or Irish woman, at

Unless the British army Of oc-
cupation is to have free hand to i'm
prison any Irish citizen, for any
term they please and for nothing
but the crime of loving Ireland, the
individual whose rights are thus
outraged must protest. The only
protest available-the only one
which will draw the attention Of
the world to the infamy of the
British conduct in Ireland-is re-

That is the protest my brother is

"My brother, or any other Irish
man seized by the British, has only
one weapon-that OF the spirit.
They may overwhelm us by brute
force but they'll never be able to
crush our spirit or our principles. +"
MacSwiney charged that the
British government wished to re-
move the lord mayor because of the
latter's ability to control the peo-
pie Of Cork and keep them from
taking the initiative in any acts Of
violence which would give the SOL
Gery an excuse to make reprisals.
