DAVIS BECOMES BOY
SCOUT IN COLORADO

Denver, Colo.-When John w. Davis,
Democratic presidential candidate,
was in Colorado recent he climbed to
an altitude of $500 feet in the rugged
Rockies to become a member of the
Boy Scouts of America, and remained
there for time as the guest of the
organization. He is now enrolled as
A Boy Scout in good standing of
Region No. s, which includes Colorado.
AT the suggestion of James e. West,
executive director of the Boy Scouts,
Mr.. Davis spoke to the members OF
the conference in session there.
Mr. Davis praised the movement un-
dertaken by the Boy Scouts to bring
voters to the polls at local, state and
national elections.
"You can do better work for the
men and women of this d.y and for
the men and women who are to come
after us than to bring those boys to
feel that that is their task in life
and that, young as they are, Immature
as they are. the hour for them to
begin has already struck Mr.. Davis

YOUTH HURT IN DUEL
.EXPECTEDTO RECOVER
Central High Pupil Shows Decided
Improvement-Victor Expresses
Regret for Accident.

A decided Improvement was reported
in the condition today of Alfred Tug
man, Central High School junior, who
was wounded in friendly foiling
duel with John Milligan, a school
mate, in front of a book store near
the school Tuesday. Physicians at
Emergency Hospital, where the boy
was taken, expect him to recover.
Mlligan visited his victim at the
hospital and voiced his regret for the
accident. Tugman has a cash over
he right eye and a probable concus-
sion of the brain caused by his fall on
the concrete pavement after being ac-
cidentally wounded.
While not an expert fencer, Mil
ligan said today that he has had con-
siderab bic practice in the art. His ad-
.ersary was unskilled. We were eX-
amining a set of foilS just here from
Paris" said Milligan. suddenly Tug
man appeared before me. He was on
ruard and urged me to engage him. l
didn't know him. and had never seen
him before, and didn't know whether
he could fence. He made lunge at
ne and struck me in the right leg.
However, it was only a slight wound
md l didn't discover it until yeSter-
day. After he made the lunge Tug
man did not take his proper position,
and, when | made thrust at him, in
an effort to parry, he raised the point
of my sword and was struck in the
eye.
After receiving the blow he sank
slowly to the ground. 1t appeared to
me that he was sitting down on his
own volition. But after reaching the
ground he crumpled up. That was the
first indication l had that Tugman
was injured"

Ladd; in Iowa it is Brookhart who

in Nebraska it is the fact that Norris
stands for many of the things for
which La Toilette stands that is help

the thought that Hiram Johnson is

that gives hope to the Progressives.
Getting No Help.
In Kansas there is no Non-Partisan

the Federation Of Labor on the other

the mater Of La Toilette presiden-
tial electors has been Strengthened
out. The Socialists had some, but
they have been taken from the ballot
except in one case, and 1t Is likely
| that in the end even that one name
will be striken out.
AS between Davis and La Toilette
for the second place is difficult to
| figure. The La Toilette people say
that Davis does not appear in the
picture at all, and the Davis people
| insist that La Toilette will run third.
Neither of them. however, suggests
| in any way that Coolidge will be
| third.
The figures transmitted to Chair
| man Butler by the Republican State
committee, estimating the result of
| the election. give Coolidge $4,000.
| Davis 100000, and La Toilette $4,000
J votes. l am inclined to believe that
| this greatly underestiInateS the
strength of La Toilette.
The Democrats are figuring on a
| lucky break to put their candidates
| across. They have no real confidence
| in the outcome. The La Follettites
| contend that their candidate will win
| without fixing figure. After all fig
| ures prepared by campaign commit
| tees are not infrequently worth less
| than the paper they are written on.
| Again, Kansas looks Republican
this year, because that's the way II
| looks.
