ANCIENT BATTLER TO
 CELEBRATE BY AGAIN
 PUTTING ON THE MlTS

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 31.-Harry Gil more, lightweight champion of Cana da two score years ago, will comment crate the occasion of his champion years ago today, by boxing an eXhib- ition bout here with Frankie Russell, a good 135-pounder. He will be 70 years old in March.
 Gilmore faced McAuliffe at Law renee, Mass, on January 31, 1887. They fought with skin-tight gloves un- der Marquis of Queensbury rules. Gil more lost in the twenty eighth round, his packer, Harry Phillips jumping in to the ring and stopping the fight, thinking that Gilmore was bleeding in wardly. Gilmore's nose was broken in the twenty-thrid round.
 Gilmore fought George Fulljammes, London prize ring rules, at 124 pounds ringside September 15 1885, knocking his man out in two rounds. It took the original Jack Dempsey twenty-two rounds to stop Fulljames the year before Gilmore had the uni que distinction of being featherweight lightweight, and heavyweight chan pi- on of Canada. He knocked out Jack Stewart, feet inches and weighing 227 pounds, with two-ounce gloves.

DELEGATE SUTHERLAND
 PRESENTS A BILL

A bill designed to speed up the sale of small areas of timber, partlc' ularly in Alaska, was introduced ill the Lower House last motnh by Delegate Sutherland, according to advices received here. It provided for the sale of timber where the stump age does not exceed $1,000 without having first been advertised.
 Under the present laws, sales, where the stumpage exceeds $1,00O cannot be made without first advertising the ar ca, it was stated. If the proposed law is enacted, it will be possible, accord ign to local Forestry officials to sell timber for piling for traps and for other purposes where small quanti- ties only are required without the de lay now incident to advertising.
 The bill also contains provision the Department of Agri- culture to receive deposits from any purchaser of national forest timber in such amounts as may be necessary to pay all or part of the cost to the government of administering the sale of such timber. Such funds would constitute special administrative treasury deposit and the surplus from any particular deposit required to be refunded to the depositor.

ators and members of the house are rarely impressed by form letters. They are much more interested in let ters personally without influence from any business institutions. As a mat ter of fact there is a good deal of in- dividual writing going on, aid it is having remarkable effect Tt.e pres ent drift away from the bonus and toward tax revision ca1 be attribut- ed in large part to the letters being written by people in all parts of the country to their representatives, in congress.

LINES OF THE BONUS
 ADVOCATES IN HOUSE
 DECLARED WEAKENING

1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3O.-Cap- ital hill is just now the scene of one of the most unprecedented situations iii recent legislative history. The are more than sufficient numerical ly to carry the measure through, but the wave of public opinion which has swept the house and senate is so strong for tax revision, that the en- barrassments to individual mem bers are accumulating daily
 If vote were taken today on how congress really feels about the sol dier bonus, 1t would not become law. Not enough votes would be polled to override the presidential veto which is inevitable. The lines of the bonds is inevitable. Thelines of the bonus advocates have been steadily weak ening for several days. Expressions from all parts of the country have been so emphatic that many mem bers who are not yet willing public ly to say they have changed are be- gininng to fall in line with the tac- tics of Representative Longworth majority leader of the house, who wants to give the tax bill right-of- way and consider the bonus bill aft erwards. He knows perfectly we'll that once the tar bill is passed, the chances of re-opening the revenue measure to provide funds for the payment of bonus will be slim in- deed If any one could devise a way to relieve members of congress of pledges given at time when tar re- duction was not thought of a rival issue, he would change the situation over night.
 "Stalino Along"
 MT. Longworth is endeavoring to stall the bonus along so that mem bers will have the excuse that the govvernment cannot afford it and that the passage of bill without means of providing payment is not advisa- ble.
 The bonus men have not diminish ed their campaign in any sense, but they realize the strength of the op- position which has created any they will hold individual members to their pledges fighting them in their re- spective constituencies if they do not fulfill the pledges given.
 One of the most unfortunate phases of the situation is the existence of a we'll meant but poorly conducted at tempt to influence congresses in favor of tax revision and against he bonus. Form letters by the thousands are pouring into Washington prepared by banks and business houses with the idea of making congress abandon the bonus and take up revisions. Sen

NEW HAVEN, Conn, October 2S.-
Senator George Wharton Pepper of
Pennsylvania, speaking at a Repub-
lican rally at Yale University last
night, outlined many of the issues of
the present campaign. Mentionlng
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent. Senator Pepper said:
Have you seen anything more
laughable than poor John Davis get
ting angrier and angrier because he
cant catch Calvin coolidge's atten-
ton? This southerner has no capacity
to understand the New England way.
He has equipped himself with "A cod
line and clam, and, with this clumsy
tackle is trying to get a rise out OF
the wary New England trout"
Mr.. Davis, the Senator continued
was given a chance to demonstrate
his IDEAS of fitness for high office, and
he responded by choosing Bryan"
La Toilette likewise was tried and
found wanting as "A picker OF men"
went on the Senator. His idea of a
potential President of the United
States is Senator Wheeler. Nothing
in his personal record or personal
equipment qualities him 10 he even
thought OF for the Office of Washing
ton, Lincoln and Roosevelt. | sus-
peCt that he was not chosen with any
thought Of his fitness for the office,
but rather as an efficient instrument

people.

Dental candidates was 26.713.833. the
largest vote ever cast. 1t Is signif-
cant, however, that that same year
there were 25,705.063 persons having
the right to vote who did not go 70
the polls. In other words. for every
100 votes cast for President in 1920
there were Sc stay-at-homes.
I'm some States the number of stay
at-homes exceed voters. The percent
age of vote slackers has been grow
ing.
In 1895, it has been figured that
so per cent of the qualified citizens
voted. In 1900 the percentage was
73 per cent. In 1912 it had dropped
to 81 per cent. In 1920 it was about
SIS per cent. This is enough to alarm
every American who believes in our
institutions
Il make this appeal to every man
and woman in the country who be-
lieves in Calvin Coolidge and in Re-
publican principles to do everything
in his or her power between now and
election day to see that a full vote ii
cast Registration in many of our
large cities indicates a tremendous
interest. but registration is only the
first step"
