WASHINGTON is EXCITED.
Wilson's Action and Gain by La Fol

lette Group Cause Comment.
Washington. Two developments ot
considerable political Significance
have arisen as result of the death
of Senator Nicholson, Republican
Colorado, and the virtual certainty
that a Democrat will be appointed tc
succeed him.
In the first place, it brought Wood
row Wilson hurrying out of the Sc
clusion of his S. Street home. Mr..
Wilson wired Gov. Sweet of Colorado
at Denver urging him to appoint Hus.
ton Thompson, a member of the fed.
eral trade commission to Senator
Nicholsons place.
Mr. Wilson's apparent flyer in pol
itics caused sensation among poll
ticians here. Numerous political wise
acres almost cracked under the strain
In the second place it narrowed
the Republican majority in the Sen
ate to a margin so thin as to give the
radicals, headed by Senator La Fol
lette, an absolute balance of power in
the upper House. Heretofore, the
rdcal power has been strong but the
loss of Senator Nicholson from the
ranks of the regulars" will enable
the La Toilette bloc, without the aid
of the more moderate proressives tc
of the more moderate progressives to
Senate. 1t places the bloc in posi-.
with either side and throw it's support
to the party which makes the most
attractive offer The Republicans will
undoubtedly organize the Senate bu
the organization will be mere name

There seems to be a general belief
that there will be no other announce
ments for the democratic nomination
for governor, and that the race will
be run to finish between Franklin,
Bell. Conner and Whitfield. All of
the candidates for governor are as
busy as can be as are also their re-
spective cmpaign managers doing
what they can to perfect organization
and arrange for the sending out of
literture. Already several of the
candidates are mailing out cards con-
tanning a condensed platform telling
for what they stand and what they
oppose, and it is expected that other
candidates will soon be circulating
similar literature. Thus early in the
campaign it is manifest that candi-
dates not only for governor, but
state legislative and county offices,
will use the columns of the press OF
the state, especially the weekly news
papers as the best and most lnflu-
ential way of reaching the men ana
women of the state.

Some of the newspapers of Missls-
sippi seem to be growing impatient
over the fact that there is too much
propaganda being sent them and are
stating in unequivocal terms that they
will not publish the same. The intim-
alton is being broadly made that much
of such propaganda is for selfish pur'
poses, being sent out to magnify cer-
tain bureaus, departments and lnstf
tutions, state and federal, in order
to stress their Importance and insure
continued legislative appropriations.

OLYMPIC SKATERS BUSY PRACTICING.
Poor Condition Of Ice Ham, perS Work At Saranac
 Lake

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y., Dec. 25.- The American Olympic skating team had a light workout here today at Pontiac rink. Ice at the famous rink. where the worlds skating stars have contested for years, was in no con- dition for speeding and the team worked under wraps. Poor condl- ton of the ice caused officials of the Saranac Lake Skating association to call off the emifnals set for yes terday.
 William Taylor. in charge of the team. said tonight that the light workouts and long hikes the skaters are having daily. keep them fit de- spite lack of speed training. Not N ithstanGlng mild weather and poor ice, Moore, Jewtraw, Kasky and Steinmetz all have shown impressive form in the workouts. The quartet of former and present national and international champions are confi- dent o4 taking the world honors on the Swiss ice Substitute members of the team-Duke Donovan and Val entine Bialas, also holders of high skating honors=Will be ready to go on the ice at an instance notice should one of the big four be unable to perform during any of the Olym- pic races.

TEX RICHARD DOUBTS THAT GIBBONS MEANS BUSINESS.
Does Not Believe Tom lS' Keen To Meet Tunney, Carpenter Or Greb

NEW. YORK, Dec 25.-Tom Gib- bons, who has emerged from five months silence to challenge Jack Dempsey to a return bout, has been placed in Dempseys ineligible list but can be accommodated with quite a rush of business in the light heavyweight class if he cares to fight.
 Tex Rickard believes that Gibbons does not want te fight such men as Gene Tunney, Georges Carpentier or Harry Greb, for Gibbons did not even trouble to come to New York after he went all the way with Dempsey at Shelby. Rickard also holds that Gib- bons would be no very great draw = ing card with Dempsey because he proved at Shelby that he was just a little bit too light in poupdage and push to hurt the champion, although he hit him rather freely.
 Gibbons is a light heavyweig and there are plenty of men for hlln to fight" Rickard said. But you can't promote fights by mail and you can't get people to pay money to see q bout fought, over the telegraph wires. If Gibbons won't come within 900 miles of New York how does he expect to win any titles hereY
 The reorganization of the boxing commission after William Muldoon steps out of office on New Years Eve probably will give the fight business a new lease on life. Muldoon is not blamed for the recent furore over poor decisions and suggestions that pambling had something to do with some of the verdicts. But it is be- lieved that there will be disposi- ton on the part of the public to wait and see what the new commissioners will Go.
 Rickard claims there is nothing wrong with the game as it is now ad- ministered except a few minor faults of method in the administration or the rules He doesn't believe It can be killed for the few recent actions which have aroused the old familiar cry of abolition.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 25.- Jack Taylor, Omaha, Neb., negro heavyweight. was given the decision over Battling Ski, the Senegalese pugilist, in a 10-round bout today.
 Ski, who apparently was not in the best of condition, forced the fighting In the first five rounds, and there were numerous stiff mix-ups, in which wicked punches were ex- changed. Then Sikrs lack of condi- tion began to tell, and he was forced to hold frequently during the re- mainder of the contest. When Siki started to slow up, Taylor took the offensive. hitting the Senegalese boxer hard and often. At the end of the bout one of Siki's eyes was closed and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.
 Taylor weighed 1s0 and Siki 177h.
 In the semi-final, Lew Kid" Lewis of Bridgeport, Conn, won the judges decision over Pedro Campo, Filipino, in a hard 10-round bout.
