Der of the committee of forty-eight,
and presidential nominee of the far
mer-labor party, threw hold-over
meeting of forty-eighters into confus-
ion today when he suddenly strobe
into the hall.
About two hundred of the original

these cheered Christensen, while the

lSLaFollette."
| Christensen asked permission to
interrupt Gilbert E. Roe, personal rep
lresentative of Senator LaFollette-
/ who was addressing the forty-eighters
for brief statement, as he had to
catch a train. Ti'is was granted and
Christensen said in part:
| "You and / and all the rest wanted
Senator LaFollette, and if there is
still any way to get him, I'll not
stand in the way
II must remain true to that loyal
group of workingmen and women who
nominated me, but I must tell you I
hope we can all get together after
ALL
With that Christensen strobe from
the hall. few delegates shaking his
hand, while others renewed their
shouts of LaFollette." He refused
/ to explain further his statement that
he would mot stand in the way Ii

Just what proportion of the forty
EIGHT element Christensen may be
able to retain in the new nrganiza-
ition was problematical.
Leaders of the forty-eight from the
first have attached far more import
ance to their political program than
ito the matter of candidates.

new party of its platform and before
the selection of it's candidates thar
the leaders of the forty-eight called

Indications were they would decide
to embalm the corpse. and that the
committee would continue to function
as a propaganda organization with
perhaps participation as local party

SAYS DEMPSEY IS
ANOTHER TORPEDO
lack McAuliffe Thinks Champion
y Would Have Trouble Hit
ting Moving TARGET.

Jack McAuliffe, retired lightweight
champion of the world. was inter
viewed some time ago regarding Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter
Jack filled up his pipe and blew out
the following;
Dempsey is like a torpedo-shoot-
ing at a stationary target he will hit
the mark, but at moving object,
never. His slugging style will hold
no terrors for the French lad, as ne
probably will sidestep his wild attack
and wear the conqueror of Willard
down, for ] studied Dempsey at the
Toledo battle and FIRMLY believe that
he tires too quickly.
after the third round Dempsey
was almost as bad OF as Willard. He
will have to win in one or two rounds
or he won't win. He has a terrible
punch IL II lands-but II he misses
his energy will be on the down grade
causing his gloves to get heavy and
his hands to fall, which will probably
mark the downfall of him.
Carpenter has all the virtues that
make a fighter a winner, being clever
swift and having the experience OF a
gray veteran, with a punch that is
"full o. pep" which is just cause for
my betting his way.
"And to think of l." exclaimed
Jack. my old pal. Jack Dempsey the
NonparieD, and John l.. Sullivan, prob
ably would turn over beneath the
sod il they knew that Georges Car
peStier, a foreigner, was the cham
pion of all Europe. for that includes
their and my native land, Ireland"

More interest attached to the Grif-
nn-J ohnson match. perhaps. than TO
any other, due TO the extraordinary
skill the veteran Californian has been
showing since he started play In the
| Eastern tourney. He recently defeat
ed William NJ. Johnston through sen
sationai playing. and has been made
a strong favorite TO defeat Wailsce
r. johnson, the Phiiadelphisn. II he
does he win meet the winner Of the
Tilden- -Wesbrook match, generally
conceded to be Tilden, in the SEMI
nnal round.
william M. Johnston's match today
| is expected TO be much easier than
yesterday. since in Washburn he will
be meeting a slow, steady player, and
man who does not ngure to cause
him any serious trouble. His victory
In straight sets over Richard Norris
williams III, twice former national
| champion. makes him a favorite to
| repeat his victory of last year. even
though Tilden has been playing phe-
nominal tennis. and Griffin has beaten
1 the national champion once this year.
