4 speakership Prediction.
Rutland Herald J

The Herald ventures the prediction
that Orlando Martin will lead on the first
speaker7hip ballot, with a vote close 10
one hundred. that Aaron Grout will be-
second with vote yariously estimated
from sixty five TO eighty, DIR. Osgood next
with around fifty and Bailey close behind
him with an indefinita number, probably
around thirty-fye. Unless Bailay's
chances improve rapidly. he seems likely
TO be eliminated after the first ballot.
and the chances are that Grout will gain
more than Martin on all ballots after the
hrSt. These Spec,Ilations are based on a
belief that Franklin d. Hale of Lunen-
burg will not be candidate. that Har-
vey X Kingsley may not be sufficiently
sonvalcsccnt and that Melvin G. Morse
i Hardwick will not gum tho works"
as q Caledonia county candidate

SWEDISH WOMEN DON'T VOTE


Stockholm, Feb. 2.-Less than half
of the women of Sweden entitled to
vote exercised their newly won fran
chise rights at the polls in the cleo
tons of 1921. the first year Of full
suffrage for women, according to a re-
port of the Swedish central bureau
of statistics just made public. How
ever. the official report of the 1921
elections give the suffra gist leaders at
least two causes for rejoicing.
The men did not show a much bet
ter record than the women, and the
number of women voters exceeded the
male voters in the capital of Stock
holm by more than 5000 voters.
The official report shows that AL
per cent of the Swedish women voters
cast their ballot while 61.9 per cent of
the men voted. The total women's
vote in the city of Stockholm was 49,
566, while vote cast by men was IT,
1913.
The general impression thruout the
country seems to be that the Swedish
women have not fully realized the i'm
portance and significance of their new
privileges. 1t is believed that in the
future they will make a better show
ing at the polls.
The heavy Women's vote in Stock
holm, which is to a large extent an
industrial city, may indicate that the
working women, especially women
trade union members, grasped the OPP
portunity to register their votes.
However, other women cannot be said
to have neglected the ballot as a
whole.

ton of being the only team in league

The probable lineup is as follows:
Edminston, center; Breithaupt, for
ward: Mclaughlin, forward; Blanken-
becker, guard; Brewster, guard. The
first string substitutes are: Darrow,
Peterson ana Carr. The Topeka team
expects to win by a safe margin. How
ever, the team is hardly over conf
dent. Coach J. E. r. Barnes, has
been drilling his men constantly in the
rudiments of the game.
The Barnes aggregation will play
Manhattan high school Saturday night
at Manhattan. The Topeka team does
not know what kind of competition it
is going to meet. Manhattan may play
a return game here March or 4 This
conflict will not count in the standings

BASKETBALL NOTES
BY HAROLD HENDERSON.

The pennant race in the Verdigris
Valley league, another fast high school
organization, is proving unusually in
teresting. Oswego, which had lost
three successive games and which had
NOT been credited with a single vic
tory, defeated Cherryvale, the league
leaders. last week. Fredonia also
climbed to the first rung by winning
from Independence, which was tied
for first place with Cherryvale.
Cherryvale, Independence and Ere
donna are now tied for the first posi-
ton, having won three games and lost
none. There is only a difference of
two games in the standing of the
teams at the top and bottom of the
ladder. The outstanding game of the
week will be Friday night between
independence and Cheryyvale at indie
pendence. The loser will be forced
out of first position.
The Topeka Independents, a local
aggregation of basketball tossers, will
go to Atchison this evening, where
they will meet the team of the Atch-
son American Legion.
The Bushton high school basketball
team, by defeating Sterling last week.
strengthened its hold on the pennant
in the Rice county league. Bushton
only has to defeat Little River and

pleted its league schedule last week
by defeating Little River. While
there are high school leagues in the
state that play a higher class of bas-
ketball, there is considerable
amount of promising college material
among the players of the league.
Quinter high school accomplished
the unexpected last week by defeating
Wakeeney high school. Wakeeney
had defeated Hays, Russell and some
of the other fast high school fives in
west central Kansas. Quinter is gain
ing recognition turnout the district for
it's ability TO use five men in almost
all its plays.
Two games which will prove of in
terest will be played Friday night In
the Arkansas Valley league. Wichita.
the league leaders, will play at Win
field and Nickerson will play at Ar
kansas City. Each of the four teams
is still counted as title contender.
The prospects for the Winfield high
school basketball team to appear as a
contestant for the state championship
are growing brighter each week. The
quintet has won seven games and lost
two. Among the teams it has defeat
ed are: Eldorado, Southwestern coll
lege freshmen, Ponca City, Okla, Ar
kansas City, Hutchinson and Wichita.
Fort Scott, which is claiming the
championship of southeast Kansas,
and Winfield both defeated Eldorado
by similar scores. In each contest
Winfield and Fort Scott were playing
up to their true form. If they should
meet in a battle at the state elimina-
ton tournament a lively conflict
should ensue.
The Butler high school basketball
team defeated Halstead last week. It
has been reported that Halstead was
playing a high grade of basketball.
Ell Dorado has instituted a novel
method Of entertainment at its basket
ball contests. Before each high school
game, the members of the faculty take
part in a contest.
