JOHNSON GETS
BIG PINE VOTE
Pine County Gives john
son 1872, Preus 912.
Carley $50. |

Minnesota was the first state
in the Union to elect a U. S. Sem
ator under the label Of Farmer
Labor when Henrik Shipstcad
was elected to that high office
last fall. and again Monday
another precedent was created
by Minnesota when Magnus John
son, the Farmer-Labor candidate,
won out for u. S. Senator, thus
giving this state its entire men,
bership Of two in the United
States Senate Of the Farmer-La-
Dor variety. Johnson had an easy
victory over his nearest rival,
Governor ]. A. o. Preus. the Re-
publican candidate, and the vote
of James A. Carlcy. Democrat.
was almost negligible. It is es-
timated that when all the pre-
cincts of the state are heard from
and the official count is made
Johnson will have a majority
over Preus Of nearly 100000. The
reasons attributed to this turn
about are perhaps many and va
ried but principally it seems that
the general public desired a
change. The Republicans.
through the press and otherwise,
also overworked, shooting too
much propaganda about the in
ability of johnson, his poor man
ners and stuff of that variety.
which only made the voters turn
on Preus and his followers.
Pine county was no exception
to the rule in the rural districts
over the state. Johnson receiving
here a big majority. his vote be-
ing 2.679, while Preus received
912 and Carley $50. This is the
complete vote Of Pine county in
GLIDING all of the AZ precincts.
Pine City village was the only
precinct in the county that gave
a good substantial Democratic
vote. in fact the vote in that vii
lage was very evenly divided be-
tween the three candidates.

Mascart Wins Bout

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-(By Associated Press) = Edouard Mascart, the French featherweight fighter, to- night defeated Henri Hebrams of Belgium on points of a 15-round bout. r
 According to recent ruling of the International Boxing Federation, Mascart was to be given the French and European featherweight cham pionship held by Eugene CriQui in case he defeated Hebrans.
 By his victory Mascart stepped into the European featherweight cham pionship recently vacated by Eugene Criqui. His fight with the hard hitting Belgian. Hebrans, although it did not end in a knockout. was none the less impressive.
 The little Frenchman had the bet ter of every round, forcing the battle but Hebrans showed wonderful ability to take punishment. Mascart's boxing seemingly has im- proved some, but although he is the best in Europe, it is believed, he needs more easoping before attempting 10 meet the American featherwelghts. He has decided to remain in Europe over the winter. and will fight Charley Ledoux on February 19.
 The best fight of the evening was between Paul Fritsch of Antwerp, the Olympic lightweight champion, and Robert Sirvan, which ended in a draw after 12 rounds. Those boys were on the verge of knockout in the first round. These boys are att tached to the bitter rival stables of Francois Descamps and Robert Edu- line, respectively, who staged a re- conciliation after two years es- arrangement after each of them had carried his own boy to the corner at fhe end of the fight

NEW YORK.-Let the players share the expense of the world se- ries. The suggestion comes from the New York Giants and without doubt will be snapped up by ball players in both leagues For, of course, it will be assumed that the magnani- nous magnates. who arc willing to share the cost of their prosperity, are willing to share the profits as well. Thus will baseball become socialized; thus will the players assume the plug hat of plutocracy or the magnates the square cap of labor.
 It should not be assumed that the players who share the receipts of the first four games of the world series. profits. For the profits of the world series are not the mere receipts of the actual world series games. They rQn on and on through the ensuing season when champions draw thou- sands of dollars all around the cir cult which are not drawn by non champion clubs.
 The Giants have always been a big money club on the western tour of the National league, because they were the most frequent winners of the championship. Thus, the daily receipts of the Giants through many seasons have been world series prof It's. Even the Brooklyn Dodgers, not the most popular team. in the Ma tional league, earned extra dividends in their two seasons as National they had won the league title in the October ructions of the preceding years.
 Perhaps, however, the owners of the New York Giants did not mean to give the players a share of the profits. This would be character istic of the baseball magnate to have the player share the cost, but not the dividends. But that is quite an- other proposition which the players are certain to reject. If they share the costs they would also demand a fragment of the cumulative incre- ment.
 saved the White Sox from utter degradation in the fake world series of 1919. Charlie Comiskey. the owner of the White Sox, took his share of the world series profits and also his share of the champions profits for the following year. He never re- turned any admission money to the world series. And yet. Dickie Kerr, the pitcher who won two games for the White Sox, fighting against his own treacherous teammates to do so. was forced out of organized baseball because he wanted raise.
 NEW YORK.-If prognosis may be built upon the shifty foundation of precedent, Yale is now embarked on long season of ascendency over Harvard after spell of i'll fortune during which Yale lost eight times and won but once.

 Harvard won in 1912 by 20 to 0. In 1913 it was 15 to 5. And there after the scores grew larger-36 to in 1914 and.s41 to Q in 1915. This was the highest score ever recorded in the rivalry of Yale and Harvard except an ancient tally of AS to 0, run up by Yale 3S years ago.
