Glencoe, III, July 1z.-Prevented from testing their skill today because of a downpour of rain which flooded the course, more than 100 golfers to- morrow will play qualifying rounds in the natioaal open golf tourna- ment on the Skokie course, with the low 24 scores and ties for twenty fourth going into the finals now for Friday and Saturday.
 Tomorrow's players will comprise the third and final section of the approximately 325 entrants. 51 having qualified Monday and Tuesday.
 Wednesday 2T entered the charmed circle by virtue of three ties for twenty-fourth place, while on Tues 24 qualifying. Today it developed that there had been a mistake in the score of Charles Thom of New York, and he was charged with l53 strokes instead of 157. This let in four other players who had made 153, namely: Bob Peebles, Louisville; i; Frank McNamara. Ortega. Fla; Will lie Ogg, Worcester. Mass., and A. F. Hackbarth, Chicago.
 Mistake in Score
 Thom drove Into casual water in a bunker on the fifteenth hole and lifted and dropped in the same pit,
 
 stroke. but the scorer put down only the four strokes actually played. The rules provide that a man shall be disqualified if he changes his score after it Is reported to the of- ficial scorer, but it was voted by officers of the United States Golf As- sociation to change the score in thls case. as Thom had understood ball could be lifted from casual water, even in bunkers, without penalty.
 This rule has never been closely adhered to for in every case recorded the player has added to his score in- stead of trying to substract, and 1t has been held to be sort of punish ment of honor to disqualify the player for confession of error.
 First Postponement In N. s.
 Today's postponement was the first in this country in national tourna- ment, although veteran golfers said they remembered an occasion years ago when a terrific storm caused play to be stopped in a British meet.
 Generally. championship golf matches are played, rain or shine. and it was not through any sympathy for the players that todaJ's play was called off after a conference of U. s. c. A. officials, when the downpour. starting at midnight, showed no signs of cessation at 10 a. m. It was be- cause the course was simply unplay- able that it was decided to postpone. Players themselves may not stop for weather conditions.
 Swnm on Pathway
 Two-thirds of the eighteenth fair way was under six inches of water.

The News is in receipt of a notice from party in New York who seem to be promoting new political party and wanting some organizers in this section, salary paid to parties who can qualify. We like their frankness. The way to have a new party is to organize one and get in 1t. We don't believe there is a demand for new party just now since the field seems to be pretty we'll covered. In order to have a party that would exactly fit the ideas of all of us We would every man of us have to have party of his own, which would be rather compli- cated. Since things are as they are We have to be satisfied with a few parties whose fundamental principles suit the majority of us.

Oklahoma held her primaries the
 rst of this week, and according to the
 returns, the state was carried by the
 radicals, Farners-LabOr c2ndi-
 date being nominated for governor on
 a pratform similar to tile Non Part
 san League of North Dakota. Every che who has kept up with the times the past few years knows that the League has been in absolute control of the latter named state until the last elections. They also are inform ed that it is founded on sCciaIisic
 principles, and that it has bankrupt led the state and the state controlled in ,stitutions. These elements use the same tactics as the boil Weeyil They
 bore inside a regular party. go into it's primaries and wreck the party and take charge. That is probably what
 has happened in our sister state, Ok lahoma. Some Democrats in that 'state believe that in order to save the pieces they will have to abandon the .primary and return to the .oId convention system. It would
 be better if those who desire to do new experiments in government to organize a separate party, but the
 strategy seems to be to attack from
 the inside by the boring-in process. Good Democrats, who love the prin-
 ciples that are true and tried, who ob-
 ject to class rule, do Pot wish to
 submit to political tyranny like unto
 the great Dakota or Russian experi- Nmen. If We are to preserve those principles dear to every true Ameri- can, We must stand together as a party purified and cast out all elements
 that would destroy, rather than com promising with factions for the sake
 of few votes. We face a crisis. If
 we prefer We can preach harmony while the inside-borer eats out the ivitals and leaves us the husks. If
 it is a crime to preach old fashioned
 Democracy, the kind that stands for equal rights for all classes, then, we
 are dyed in the wool criminal.
