BASEBALL "FUED"
WILL NOT CHANGE
ANY DEMOCRAT

The statement made in Il letter
from Snow Hill to the Baltimore Sun
of Thursday that controversy over
baseball would effect the election this
years is misleading and was written
for the purpose of stirring up strife
between the two towns. When it was
learned that Snow Hill had been
ousted from the Eastern Shore Base
Ball League probably eight or ten
young men in the heat of their in
dignation at the part Pocomoke had
played declared they were not going
to vote for any of the Pocomoke
candidates. Most of these were Re-
publicans and these endeavored to
spread the disease, knowing it would
be to the advantage of the Republi-
can party. That was over week
ago. 1t is more than likely that the
baseball matter will not effect a half
dozen votes in Snow Hiil.

WORCESTER WOMEN
ARE SURE TO VOTE

We are informed that some of the
followers of the Peoples party are
endeavoring to discourage white wom-
en- from voting, because they rely
on the colored women for their vote,
and knowing the white women will
vote the Democratic ticket they are
trying to persuade them not to vote
at all. They are evidently unaware
of the intense interest the women
have in the election of the Democratic
ticket.

MRS. FULLER POPULAR
WITH PEOPLES PARTY (?)

"Interloper." is what the Peoples
party calls Mrs. Fuller. How about
Judge Wanamaker, of Ohio, who was
hired by the Peoples party to come
here to speak for them several years
ago? The Judge brought a message
of "hate." Mrs. Fuller brings a
GOOD message to the people of Wor-
cester County. The people are anN-
iouS to hear her. but the Peoples
party calls her an "Interloper." They
are bad judges. She shows the i'm
portance of voting for Democrats.
They don't like it. or course not.

SAUK CENTRE CHOSEN

Association Approves Creation
of Proposed State Park

Much interest was shown yesterday
at the meeting of the Northern Min
nesota Editorial association at Crook
ston regarding the proposal to have
the daily news digesysent to the vari-
Gus papers in the north end Of the
state by wireless telephone from the
Dunwoody Institute and committee
on wireless telephone news service
was appointed to confer with the in
stitute at Minneapolis and to obtain
information as to the feasibility of
the plan. This committee consists of
w. Z. Mckenzie of Crookston, Asa
Wallace of Saul, Centre, E. H. Denu
of Bemidji, w. H. Verify of Wa
dena and Harry Phillips Of Mahno-
men.
The association ia met with the
largest Attendance in it's history and
all numbers on the program were
pulled off according to "Hoyle" ex-
cept the appearance of the adver-
Using agency men. A great recep-
ton was given at the Northwest
School of Agriculture by C. G. Sell
Wig and students. Crookston people
are giving the editors and publishers
royal entertainment under the d.
rection Of W. E. Mckenzie Of the
Crookston Times.
E., H. Denu, secretary and manager
of the Pioneer Publishing company,
in attendance at the convention, has
advised The Pioneer that he is
strongly in favor of the wireless tele-
phone service and may purchase an
outfit for local use. Plans are to E"
at least ten or twelve papers in this
section of the state to band together
to hire a man at Minneapolis to send
in the daily digest.
"Such an outfit would cost APP
proximately $780," stated DR.. c. A.
, Prosser of the Dunwoody Institute,
land the cost Of upkeep would be
negligible" The outcome Of the
committees action on the project
will undoubtedly bring about an in
teresting innovation in news service
in Minnesota.

SEVEN YEAR OLD BOY
IS KILLED INSTANTLY
Swinging Sleigh Throws Boy
Under Wheels of Moving
Freight Engine

George Hebard, Jr., seven year old
son Of George Hebard, who lives a
short distance west of the city, was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon
about 4 o'clock when he was thrown
from a sleigh, driven by his father,
under the wheels Of 500 Line
freight engine at the crossing on
Minnesota, avenue.
According to eye witnesses Of the
accident, Mr.. Hebard was driving a
team belonging to William Stillmaker,
south on Minnesota avenue, and
when-near the 500 Line tracks, the
team became unmanageable. Just
then a 500 line freight engine. which
was switching at that place, approach
ed from the west side of the cross
ing. Mr.. Hebard, fearing he could
not get control of the team before
he reached the tracks, evidently en-
deavored to swing the team to the
left along First street and in so do
ing caused the back end of the sleigh
to swing around against the moving
engine, throwing his son, who was on
the sled, under the drive wheels of
the engine, where his body was in
stantly crushed.
On the sleigh at the same time was
Leona Stillmaker, seven year old
daughter of Mr.. Stillmaker, and her
sister Lucille, nine years old. Before
reaching the tracks Lucille jumped
off the Sleigh and her foot painfully
injured, although it was not thought
to be serious.
The remains of the boy were TAX
en- to the Huffman and OLeary un-
dertaking p9rlors, and an inquest
held this afternoon. The coroner's
jury returned the verdict that the
BOY came to his death by being
thrown, from a sled, under an engine
on the 500 railroad.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternoon at $3.50 in the
Methodist Episcopal church. DR.. G.
H. Zentz will officiate. Burial will be
made in Greenwood under the d.
rection OF H. N. Mckee, undertaken.
