MORE Than MILLION
VOTING IN IRELAND
Dali Election on Bodybuilding
Begins at Ga. m.

BY The Associated Press,
Dublin. Aug. 27..-Voting In the
Dali elections began throughout the
Irish Free State at o'clock this
morning with an electorate of more
than 1,75o,000 eligible to cast the
ballots. Nearly 100000 of this num-
Der arc new voters, most of them
being young people Of both sexes.
The day is a public holiday. This
makes possible the closing of the
polls at Z o'clock this evening, thus
enabling an earlier windnp than for
merly when the workmen were ac-
customed to vote after their days la
bors were over. This year however
the workers have complained that
they are forced to lose days pay
by the holiday proclamation.
Returns Will Be Late
IN Dublin there are labor candi-
kin wings. The Dublin sheriff does
not expect to be. able to announce
any result before Tuesday evening
and possibly not even then unless all
the candidates waive formal COM
parison of the number of votes cast
with the voting papers issued. 1t is
likely to be late before the returns
for this city are tabulated.
1t is customary to make public the
names of the candidates obtaining
quota on the first count without
awaiting further results but no final
estimate of the strength of the Nari-
Gus parties in the Dali will be posi-.
BILE unil the full tickets are heard
from.
The police work has been entrusted
In Dublin to the old metropolitan
force and in the country to the new
civic guard but as the latter has not
yet reached full strength it has been
necessary to supplement it with spe-
cially enrolled policemen.
Supporters of the government
party have daily increased in con-
fidence and it is now believed that
this group will constitute the largest
bloc in the new house. The republi-
cans rely on new voters to improve
their showing in the last election of
Sc seats. Countess Markievicz then
defeated in Dublin is standing for
the same seat today.
Outburst of OratOry
The election campaign was brought |
to close yesterday amid great out
burst of oratory all over the coun-
try. The final pronouncement of the
republicans issued as manifesto,
bore the name of canon De Valera
but is strongly suspected of having
been the work of Mrs Erskine Child
ers, who can read the republican
leaders mind as can no one else.
Among other things the manifesto
says. '-g.. o.. b. .ar-. -. j
i THE world once more is looking
on. Shall 1t be that this generation
has turned renegade to the national
faith and has outdone the disastrous
of princes and prelates
10 Henry II which brought us CEN

ey and the minister Of fisheries,
t'inan Lynch both of whom are cam
iidates of the government party for
Kerry, was attacked by a hostile
,rowd while passing through Lixnaw
Shots were fired and one
roung man was seriously injured.

BLYTHE'S ARTICLE ON
HARDING IN BOOK
Manuscript Which Wife Was Reading
to President WhenHe Died.
Published by Company.

President Harding did not invite
the American people, with brass band
and ballyhoo, to notice that he was
wearing out his life in their service.
He merely did the task that lay near
est him, quietly, efficiently, and con-
scientiously. That was his great mis-
take. We love to see the fur fly.
And so it was that he went ahead
with his trem endous task, gradually
giving way beneath the strain, per-
haps inwardly wounded at the persis-
tent misunderstanding and indiffer-
ence which he found in many people
toward his life work. And that is why
like to think of one ray of light
which Frightened his last hours-yes
his last moments on earth.
You remember that hot day in
August when Mr.. Harding lay in his
suite in the Palace Hotel San Fran
cisco. Even in the heat and WEAKNESS
of the late summer afternoon the
President was visibly convalescent,
and all the world, quickly informed
by telegraph and radio bulletins, re-
ponded with glad relief to the cheer
full news. At Mr.. Harding's side IN
ing a friendly, sympathetic story of
his stewardship-"A Calm Review of
a Calm Man" by Samuel G. Blythe.
That's good" said the President,
60 on; read some more"-and as he
said it. passed away.
II is q happy thought that this
story by the greatest observer of our
national scene should tighten the
Presidents last moments. The shades
were falling fast. No doubt the weary
lines of pain in the Presidents face
deepened imperceptibly as Mrs. Hard
ing read on. But there must have
been twinkle in his eye-a kindly
feeling In his breast-at the good
humor and justice with which Blythe
appraised him.
1t is not as a politician that we
think of Harding, nor as great man,
dwelling remotely from the haunts
of common men in the porticos of the
White House, but as Blythe calls him.
"a fine type of American" as "a
human. understandable, modest, kind
ly man, with all the reserve force
needed to govern capably." This is
kind and fitting legend for Mr.. Hard
ing's epitaph-now published in book
form as a perpetual memorial. a
human and an historical document
forever associated in our minds with
the passing of good and a greatly
loved statesman.

McGinty Believes
He Can WALTON
Bat Kelly Again

II did it once, L can do it again."
SO says Johnny McGinty as he plugs
away daily at his punching bag,
weights and pulleys getting in line
for his bout next Monday night with
Battling Kelley at the Birmingham
Athletic club. But here, and this is
rather of secret is where McGinty
has it over Kelley for training-Mc-
Ginty trains all day. Working in
machine shop the Pratt City Irish
man gets plenty of physical exer-
else and always is in trim. He
keeps fit, whether ready for bout
or with small prospects of ever
fighting. This is why the Emerald
Isle boy is so tough.
Over in the other camp Battling
Kelley, working more faithfully than
ever before on the large variety Of
training apparatus at his disposal in
the Birmingham Athletic club gym,
says, I'll lick MeGinty or quit the
game" Thus two determined young
gentlemen will put in a hard week
of careful work and will go into the
ring Monday night in tip-top shape.
Kelley states confidently that he
will. be in the best shape of the sea-
son and goaded on by a humiliating
defeat at the hands of McGinty and
the determination to again regain his
status in the eyes of local fandom
he is training harder than ever be-
fore. In his recent battle the effect
of slack training seemed to play a
part in his downfall and late in the
bout when McGinty was going strong
Kelley's punches seemed to lack their
wonted weight and McGinty's blows
to the stomach seemed to be telling.
In bringing the two men together
Matchmaker Dave Evans has billed
for tho Local
The other bout was not satisfactory
to the Kelley clan and none of the
Battler's friends believed that he was
at his best on that night. Kelley
himself was far from satisfied and
has been seeking a return bout with
McGinty. The coming contest will
settle decisively the prowess of the
open field for McGinty in the ring
or will mean more matches for the
Battler.
McGinty is ambitious and is out to
scale the heights in the world of
rings and resin-coated canYas. He
has won easily from all of the pre-
liminary boys that the local match
makers have sent in against him and
in his first main bout licked Battling
Kelley, veteran of many battles.
With a demonstration that he is
Kelley he will have satisfied Match
maker Dawes doubts as to his ability
and will be slated for more main
bout engagements. Johnny sees in the
eyes of his fancy the flight of Clau-
die Wilson to the heights and Claude
started in the local ring as did Nc
Ginty. 1t will be a hard fight next
Monday night and will carry with
it a deep significance for both par
Elephants.

SIMPSON GOODS

Cage practice among the goods of
Simpson Tech is showing prospects
for a good team for the first year of
basketball among the girls of the
school, the team being under the d.
rection of Anna Neese. former cap
tain and star of the Pantherettes.
Rehearsals have been going on for
a week at Simpson and number of
tho girls are showing up WELL caus--
ing a feeling of optimism among the
supporters of the team.
Nellie Kincaid, Elizabeth Morris
and Louise Crawford are showing up
well for forward position, Kincaid
being quick and an excellent shot at
the goal, with Morris a close second
in tossing ability. Crawford is
steady player and hard fighter and
should make one of the good mem
bers OF the squad during the sea-
SON.
At center Thelma Watts is show
ing up well, Amelia Glenn, Blanch
Winters, Lois Greene and Red" Can
non looking good at guard. Cert
rude Harris Mildred Parrish, Anise
Hinton, Grace Lee Brooks, Margaret
Neill and Barbara Ladd are also
regular candidates who have been
doing some steady work during the
time they have had chance to dem
onstrate their ability during the past
few days.
Midget athletics are attracting con-
derable attention at Simpson this
year as many of the smaller mem
bers of the student body are given
an opportunity for athletic training
which would not be obtained other
wise. A good team is expected from
among the smaller boys as the midget
football team closed a successful sea-
son, recently and the junior basket
ball squad plans to equal he sue
cess of that of the gridiron.

Great McTiere Is Most Magnates1

his head we'll up, ranges very wfue-

handled two covies perfectly.
Will McTiere hold out, will he
maintain his promise through a

not be answered for he is young
