VOLUME XXXV1Il
TOM MURRAY, JR., FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

T. J. Murray, Jr., young lawyer,
of Jackson, but who has already dem
onstrated his ability to make sue
cess Of his chosen profession, is a can
didate for Attorney-General Of the
Twelfth Judicial Circuit, subject to
the Democratic party in primary elec-
tion to be held November 18th, 1921
and his formal announcement appears
in The Progress.
In the wisdom Of our years and
long observation, we would advise any
young man who has within himself
the elements Of success and energy to
develop these elements, to refrain
from seeking public office and to seek
out the more satisfactory private
paths Of life, but when we find one
who is bent upon travelling the road
against which we have advised, one
who we believe we will be able, equip
ped and disposed TO make a satisfac-
tory public servant, it is pleasure to
commend him to the public--and we
do this for Tom Murray. II he Is NOM
mated in the primary and elected to
the office in August 1922, we believe
Tom Murray will make worthy sue
cessor to the best material we have
had in this judicial circuit to uphold
the law and to prosecute its violators.
As stated, Mr.. Murray is subject to
the Democratic primary to be held on
the 18th of November and if you do
not happen to meet him before that
time and thus have the opportunity
to form your own judgment of him,
you can take our word for it that a
vote for him in the primary will be
worthily bestowed.

ANOTHER HOUSE ROBBED.

While Hon. A. S. Montgomery and
family were away, Thursday night of
last week, all but the son being at the
Jackson fair, the house was entered
by removing a window screen and
nearly all of the clothing of the
family taken. The loss is not
a light one, because clothing is yet ex-
pensive and among the articles lost
was crepe de chire dress recently
purchased for forty dollars.
If any citizen can form any idea of
the identity of these robbers and does
not take steps to stop the outrages, he
will fall short of performing his duty
to himself, his community and his
country. With exercise of effort, the
law-abiding element of the people
must be equal in intelligence to the
criminals.

Snyder And Harris Bout
 Promises To Be Hurricane

The bout between Johnny "Red' Allen and Sailor Johnny Darcey is not going to be the only stimulating Arena show next Monday night, ac- cording to Matchmaker George Dwyer.
 When Lew Snyder, the clever Bay onne, N. J., featherweight and Bat ting Harris of Waterbury, toe the scratch, they are expected to furnish some real live action. Although Snyder has always been considered fast boxer he 1eaped further up the ladder of fame in his recent 10 and 15 round bouts with Earl Baird, who hts been figuring in sensational ring doings in and around New York.
 Snyder is working out with John ny Darcey every afternoon and their workouts are not gymnasium bouts, but are fights every time they get to- gether- Snyder has come along wonderfully since his bout with Baird and Bud Ridley, and he claims he will be gunning after Andy Chaney, Sammy Seiger, Billy De Foe, Bobby Micheals and all the other feather weight contenders. Snyder has had about 20 bouts since he started box ing about two years ago and in every bout he has taken part in so far he has scored a knockdown, over his op- ponent. Lew is very aggressive battler, the kind that please an au- dience and to those that will be at the ringside on Monday night he will be a revelation.

Credit Due House.

No little credit is due Shanty House. the Bridgeport heaver, who also pitched a fine game. It also happened that House also weakened in the Meyers after two were out. Simp- son, batting for Haley, forced Silva at third, however, and House emerg- ed with a clean bill none the worse for his wiIdness except probably aAght apprehension that Springfield 0fght yet rally and pull the game out of the mire.
 k From the first inning to the ninth 1t was a pitchers battlep ure and simple. Bridgeport scored first in the sixth and Springfield followed by ty- rnn was earned. hit batsman, Silya's single and a wild pitch en- ablfng Duffy to tally Springfield's only run, while an error by Flynn from second, after he reached first on four wide ones and the keystone station on Rays sacrifice.
 Looked Like Extra Innfng
 ; Neither team had a chance to score in the eighth although both sides were credited with a hit each. Go ing into the ninth it looked like an extra inning game for both Haley and oHuse had shown no signs of to face Haley, lifted a high one to Duffy and Smith followed by giving eBcker his thir- put out. Kingdom was next up ana he promptly laced out his only hit of the day, a sharp single to right Loftus sent him to third with a double to left and made way for Mclaughlin to attempt to score the base runners with a clean hit
 Manager Flynn of the Ponies walked over from first and ordered Haley to walk Mclaughlin. Haley proceeded to follow instructions and 1obbed over one ball, two balls. three balls and then four balls. There was no doubt that the foruth was a ball. It went high over Wi1der's head and Struck the grandstand for wild pitch. Kingdom scored easily and Loftus went to third.
 Ponies Die Game.
 With the score now to 1 there was still hope that Springfield might win in its half of the ninth. But more trouble was brewing. Myers had performed in an acceptable man ner at third throughout the after noon, his one poor throw being pulled out of the air by Flynn which saved him an error earlier in the game With House up it looked like an easy third out and so he was but not be- fore Loftus had scored. Wilder, on receiving one of HaLley'S throws, mo- ticed that Loftus was taking a big lead off third and Brick was quick to throw to Myers. trapping the Bridgeport left fielder off the bag Myers, however, dropped the ball, and before he could retrieve the sphere Loftus was across the plate with the third run of the game. House semi Clark back to get his fly and Bridgeport's scoring was over.
 Although Silva and Myers were passed in Springfie1d's half of the ninth, there was no scoring.

Horseshoes in Ninth.

For eight and two-thirds innings the Ponies played good enough base ball to beat any club in the Eastern League. Then in the ninth, with two gone, Haley weakened, allowed single and a double, and made a wild pitch while in the act of issuing an intentional pass to Mclaughlin, the Bridgeport infielder. Kingdom. who opened the inning with a single and was on third, scored and Loftus went from second to third on that cratic heave. from whence he also scored a moment later when Meyers dropped a perfect peg from Wilder, whose quick throw to Meyers had trapped Loftus off the bag. These two runs enabled Bridgeport to win the game to 1.

Pol1t aclans Gloonay.

Thanks to machine efforts to spoil
the primary law in Minnesota, the 1922
campaign in this state will be nine
months long First the accredited
parties will hold nominating conven-
tions. This is tie new device to pre-
vent famers and workers from taking
control Of their own party at the
primary. Then there will be the
primary. And then there will be the
general election.
Politicians and their press go on the
assumption that the party is the pro-
perty of the party bosses, and that the
voters have nothing to do with it, ex-
cept vote the ticket. A majority of
the last legi islature in Minnesota was
persuaded to accept this principle, and
it remains to be seen whether voters
are going to honor the claim of owner
ship at the next election. When we
got the primary there was great re-
joicing; we wonder if the destruction of
it will stir up the sare people to wrath
against the destroyers.
Gloom is written all over the anti
farmer and anti-labor press of the
state. There seems to be a feeling
in the reactionary camp that by
putting off a trimming withsfalse issues
in 1920 there is going to be bigger
trimming this year 4 Democrat
editors, who for the past four years
have cut bait for the Republican ring,
are making good deal of independent
noise. Many of them predict that
Nonpartisan League and Labor prin-
ciples are~the thing for the next cleo
ton, and they are picking out candi-
dates with sufficiently decent records,
they hope, to appeal to Leaguers and
Labor.
| The trouble with the Republican
ring is that it's financial hackers have
forced it to play too strong hand
Their alleged programs offered as sub.
stitutes for farmer-labor demands
have yielded nothing to these classes
A child can see that special interests
have gotten everything. And nov
the people are serious as never before
! Hence the gloom. The fat boys
would have been wiser if they had lei
their politicians do more pussyfooting
A good politician, for instance, woulo
not keep Townley in Jail two minutes
But the big bankers rule the roost, and
their heads are badly swelled from theil
war time successes.
