D0Ak FOR R. R.
Commissioner / | !
G. E. Doak, Former Webster
City man, is Candidate
for the Commits
sion.
IS WELL QUALIFIED
His Father was Northwest
ern Agent Here for
Many Years.

c. T.. Doak, a former well known
Webster City young man, now OF
DEBORAH, is candidate for the Iowa
state railroad commission to succeed
John A. Guiher,. who is not a candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Doak is peculiar
ly well fitted for the place and Hamil-
ton county ought to support him to Il
man.
Mr.. DOak's father, s. S. Doak, now
dead, was for many years agent OF
the Northwestern in this city. The
family was prominent here in both
business and social circles and young
Claude was educated in the schools OF
this city. When the father resigned
his place with the railroad company
here, the family moved west. Soon
after, Claude married and settled
down in Cedar Falls. He took a Lead
ing part in business affairs there and
was Il member of the city council for
six years. 1
Has Experience.
Says the DEBORAH Republican,: An
analysis of Mr.. DOaks career and Il
knowledge of his experience amply
iustifies the belief that he has the abil-
ity to perform the duties of the office
with a highly intelligent understanding
of the requirements laid upon him. For
many years he has made a study OF
traffic movement and is one OF the
acknowledged experts of Iowa in this
branch of commerce. Prior to coming
to DEBORAH to make his home, he
served for six years as member OF
the city council il Cedar Falls. and
was actively engaged in handling
traffic matters for various business
houses of Cedar Falls.
Well Qualified.
In his capacity as traffic manager
for the Adams Seed Company here, he
has had to do with the routing, rating
and general handling Of a large variety
Of commodities to all parts of the
United States This involves knowl-
edge of classification that is seldom
found outside Of expert railroad ac-
countants. His knowledge OF such mat
ters attracted the attention OF the
Northern Iowa Traffic association ana
he has frequently been called into con-
sultafion with the officers OF that or
ganization, more recently becoming one
of the directors. In addition thereto,
while he has never attempted to pass
the state board, he has delved into the
legal elements of the traffic question
and is thoroughly posted in this de-
plrtment as well. Personally, Mr.. Doak
is a man OF likeabie qualities, staunch,
sincere, honest and friendly. We can
heartily recommend him to the voters
Of Iowa as a worthy candidate for the.
office of railroad commissioner.

Peter Rolling, who was recently ;p-
Grated on for gall stones, has made such

factory as the usual run Of such enter
prises. 1t certainly has the backing of
men of integrity.

TRIBE DIVIDES

Sewell's Error Helps Lose
First Game, But Second
Is Easy Victory.

Detroit, Oct. 1.-The Cleveland
Indians succeeded in getting an
even break today when they won
the second game of their double
header with the Tigers. As the best
the crippled White SON gould do
was to lose to the Browns, Iris
Speakers club is now two full
games in the lead.
\ wild throw by shortstop Sewcn
in the tenth inning Of the first
game enabled the Tigers to win out
by a score of to 4. The second
game. which was called in the
eighth inning on account of dark
ness. was runaway for the In
dians. the final score being 10 to 3.
Cleveland got off to a good start
in the first game, scoring two runs
in the first inning and another two
in the second inning. This lead they
held until the eighth inning, when
the Tigers suddenly came to life
and scored four runs and tied the
score.
Piling up ten runs from fifteen
hits in the second game, the In
dians had things their own way

out were glad when the umpires

He had everything that a pitcher

the second the Senators romped over

they tailed thrice, and Mr.. Hell
mack was very automatically given
the cue that he should remove him

home run. With the exception of

Annapolis. Nd, Oct Both the

legc will launch the 1920 foot
ball campaign tomorrow, though the
devotees OF the game will not have
the opportunity of witnessing the
Cadets in action, as they will play
on foreign ground The Middies
will get into action with the eleven
of North Carolina State College as
the opposing force. while the Cadets
will journey to Washington to hook
up with the eleven OF Georgetown

his Navy charges into fair shape
for the season-opener. in spite of
the fact that many of the veterans
Of last years squad are with the
rowing party that participated in
the Olympic events at Antwerp and

Coach Dutch" LentZ, who is

also has developed some pretty
smooth action in his football MAJ
chine for the go against the Hill
toppers.
Although prepared by but two
weeks of practice, the st. John's
team will play its hardest game of
the season Saturday.
According to LCntz, the Cadets
will hold the Washington agGrega-
tion to a low score, and he has high
hopes of being able to score on
them. This optimistic statement on
the part of the coach is probably
due to the addition of two men to
the squad, Brown. i regular tackle

which were enough to win. The
score was 4 to 3. In the first con-

the eighth inning. put over three
runs and tied the score, and an
other run by them in the ninth was
enough to put them over winners

Hard Hitting Of Jackson and
Felsch Missed-Have
Chance to Tie.

St. Louis, Mo, October l. - The
baIly maimcd White SOX slipped
another half game to the rear Of
the league-leading Cleveland In
dians, by losing to the St. Louis
Browns today by 4 score of to 6.
The White SoX felt soreIy the
need of hard hitting Joe Jackson
and Happy Felsch. In almost every
inning they succeeded in placing
men on bases, and as often We're
unable to bat hard enough to bring
them home.
Davis, who pitched for the
Browns, helped place men on base
by wild pitches and by free passes.
but failure to hit left them there,
and at the end of the game no less
than twelve men were counted as
having been left maroOned on base
Browns Swing Bats.
The Browns We're in good form
today and were swinging their bats
ire"ly. Faber. who started on the
@0und for the Chicago team, was
driven off after having been hit
ireels. The morale of the Chicago
men seems to have been hurt by
the grand jury indictments and
both infeld and outfield were not
giving the pitchers the support or
the chirrupy encouragement they
were accustomed to.
Hodge relieve Faber and in turn
gave way to Keifer.
While the SOx were losing to the
St Louis players, Cleveland made
no gain, but merely divided a
double header with the Detroit
Tigers.
Have Chance. For Tie.
The players from the Windy City
still have a chance to nose their
way into pennant. If the Clevc-
lands lose their next pair of games.
the last of the season, and the
White Sex win both. Il tie will be
the result.
In the event o. tie a play-off
between the two teams would be
necessary, such rs became nrces-
sary in 1908, when The Chicago
Cubs tied with the Giants. The
