DOG gone it ALL" it was mean
but wasn't it awfully funny after ALL
the way the Fouts, Smith factlon'
mt it over the Matson, Lyme, Spence
bunch Saturday, at the organization
Of the executive committee? The
Herald gang had put up the expense,
and hard work, in furnishing the
halt. then went fishing; landed the
fish as they thought safe on the
shore. when plague take it, those
Uesky Fouts kids came along ana
took the whole catch, leaving moth
ing but a little tough stringy crow.
How it all came about can better be
understood by looking back few
months, and briefly it is as follows:
Still smarting under the postor-
flee sting, the Herald gang then
swore to get even, and began to lay
plans accordingly, doing their work
in the dark. 1t was on the last hour
and minute that they filed picked
candidates from all over the county
for members of the central commit
tee. Here is where Fouts and his
workers seemed to fall down, since
they apparently had no one looking
after committeeman of their follow
ing. So when the primary election
was over it looked like the Matson,
Lyme, Lowell gang had everything
in their own hands. Having scored
such a point their next move was to
choose their own candidates, and
lick Moore, Fouts ct al, but the re-
suit is history too modern to be re-
heated. This Herald hand picked
q p
fer the election. They had the as
surance that there would be moth
ing to it-that from that time on
they (the Herald bunch) would die
tate the candidates, etc. But after
the primary when the Matson,
Spence, Lyme candidates were SO ev-
erlastingly whipped, some OF the
committeeman who had political
ambitions began to feel that II they
remained hooked up with such
gang they would get it in the neck
sure as fate, and while they spoke
not an audible word, they did deal
of lot of thinking, and kept a
sharp lookout for some way of es-
cape.
Saturday a week ago when the
central committee met to organize,
everything moved along just as the
Herald gang had planned. Spence |
was chosen chairman, and John Nc |
Bride of the Herald office secretary. |
Then they selected the executive
committee. Out in Meigsville town
ship where J. ID. Lighthizer had
done good work for the other crowd,
to offset his vote "Uncle Lew" was
picked. Miss Nettie Henry, anoth-
er attache OF the Herald office, who
was credited with being "the best
posted woman in the county on Re-
publican politics." was put on-so
was A. G. Mcbride, whom the Her
aid bunch claimed the credit of hay-
ing landed in his present soft ,politi-
cal berth. Then "brother-in-law"
George Lowell was left on. Others
were picked from over the county

occasion. When Hagen gets back
things are going to happen In the
way Of a home welcome which will
mark his return as . red.letter day
in American golf history.
Hagen learned his first golf as
caddie up in Rochester. He Is a
typical American in the way he does
things on the links. He does his
best when the odds against him are
strongest.
Although Barnes and Hutchison
were born on the other side and
acquired their golf there, they have
been associated with American golf
so long that they are regarded az
part Of our golfing progress.
A year ago. when Hutchison won,
the English found some consola ton
in the reference to the fact that
Hutchison was not American born
anyway. In Hagen's victory they
can find no consolation. Hagen,
Barnes, and Hutchison practically
cleaned up the British open. and the
occasion Of their return on the
Aquitania will be observed with suit
able hysteria.
They will be met down the bay
and there will be a brass band and
a glee club and parade. On

It will be a big day and night FOR
