Pro FOOTBALL WOULD PROSPER
III BASEBALL MAGNArES TOOK
IT OVER

What does the future hold for pro-
fessional football?
At the present time salary war
looms just ahead as the result, of the
possibilities Of q second league. Mr..
G. G. Pyle is the man behind the new
organization
He is the same gentleman who
managed the affairs of Red Grange.
Refusal to grant a franchise to Grange
in New York, is the cause of the agj-
tation in behalf of a second pro foot
tball circuit.
Grange gave pro football a great
fboost last fall, started it on the road
to prosperity. He may not be such
a big card next season, but will al

1t is my hunch that pro football

fairs are properly handled and there
be one dominating head.
1t wOuIdn't surprise me If the major
league baseball magnates too over
the proposition since they have the
parks to handle the crowds. That
would assure it's SucceSs.
Beef is getting less and less an
essential for success in sports. Last
year Henry Brooks, a big 200-pounder
was the star guard of the wisconsin
basketball team. He was elected cap
tain for 1926.
Since the start of the season he
has played in only five minutes of ac-
tual Big Ten competition. Recently
he resigned his captaincy to try for
the crew.
Like most of Coach Meanwells
teams, the Wisconsin five of this year
plays fast, snappy basketball in which
beef plays no part, in fact is more
or less of a handicap.
Science is far more necessary than
Drawn in the opinion Of the Wiscon-
sin coach. He is for short passes
and fast floor work. Brooks didn't
quite fit into the scheme.
Having the proper college spirit,
Brooks intends to transfer his 200
pounds to the rowing shell whefe ne
hopes it will be of greater, value to
Wisconsin.
Bill Tilden complains that poor eye"
sight may seriously affect his tennis
play this summer.
For some weeks Tilden has been
doing his tennis training back of the
footlights of New York stage. Re-
Gently he said the glare of the lighst
was injuring his sight ard certain
to affect the accuracy Of his tennis
play.
Apparently Tilden must suffer from
other ailments aside from poor eye
sight if the contneders for lis crown
are to have a chance. He keeps on
trimming them all at indoor tennis.
Tilden is just a fair actor back of
the footlights, but on the tennis courts
he is much better. He has q habit
of playing to the gallery and doing
it well, not unlike Suzanne I4engien.
1t will be fortunate indeed for the
tennis players If TiIden COM
tinues to suffer from failing eye
sight. That is the one chance to de-
throne him.

WILL PUBLIC SPIRITED MEN
VOTE FOR LOMMEN
OR JOHNSON?

At public meeting held by E. c.
A. Johnson in Virginia the other
night, Mr.. Johnson, after heaping
thirty minutes worth of personal vii
lifications upon me, in what be-
lieved was to be friendly, business
like contest for Senator, attempted
to defend his very unpopular voting
record in the last legislature by as
serting that / had always been we'll
paid for everything / ever did for
the public interest, and that he,
Johnson, believed that man should
not make money out of doing public
spirited work such as | have been
doing for ten years. He told his
friends that Lommen always put in
big, fat expesse accounts. THIS,
please remember, WAS JOHNSON'S
DEFENSE OF HIS OWN UNAC-
EQUITABLE VOTE FOR THE
GREAT NORTHERN BUS LAW
AND HIS CHANGED VOTE ON
THE PUBLIC WORKS LAW AND
MANY OTHERS OF SIMILAR UN-
POPULARITY. He tried to defend
himself from the criticism of his
own closest friends who cannot yet
understasd why Ed. Johnson of Vir-

on so many big measures.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
RTH COMMISSIONERS
DISTRICT:
October 26th, 1926.


On account of attending to my
duties as Commissioner for our dis
trict, l find it will be impossible to
visit all personally before the cleo
ton on November End.
AS you perhaps know, was elect
de Chairman of the County Board,
and this automatically made me
Chairman of the County Board of
Education. These extra duties take
considerable of my time, so / wish
you would overlook the fact that |
have not been able to call on you
personally and give me the con-
sideration on election day that you
would, had been able to do so.
The question was: Should l neg
lect the duties pertaining to the
Office to which you elected me four
years ago, to carry vigorous
campaign for reelection, or not?
| decided you were paying me to
look after these duties and in order
to do so have been compelled to
leave my campaign almost entirely
in the hands of my friends, so wish
you would consider this article the
same as personal call.
| do not claim to be infallible,
and perhaps have made mistakes,
but, regardless of stories being cir
culated to the contrary l am sure if
you will investigate thoroughly you
will find have served you faithfully
and honestly.
/ would be pleased to meet per-
sonally, or have representative ap-
pear for me if my personal duties
prevent my personal appearance. and
DISCUSS before an audience, my &C
lions pertaining to this Office with
any of my opponents. | have roth
ing to conceal and would be pleased
to have any one cal upon me for an
explanation of any story that may
be circulated regarding my work.
believe you will agree it is not
policy to make changes too often, in
as important an Office as Cnmmis-
sioner and feel confident, if elected
another term, / will be, able to do
more for our district in the next
four years than have in the past.
| wish to thank you for the sup
port given me four years ago and
will appreciate any support you may
give me at the election November 2.
Very truly yours,

the past nine years. of what was
threatening the prosperity and hap
piness of every community and every
person in this district that he now
wants to serve as Senator, let me
say that three years ago | organized
the people of Minnesota and lead
them in the first fight against the
terrible Fuller Bill that would have
deprived US of millions of dollars of
taxable property, and l SPENT, in
addition to many months of my time,
as a lawyer, EXACTLY $482.00 Of
my own money in the cause of our
people. When he says that | have
been well paid does he mean, perhaps
the weeks and weeks of my time and
the $245.60 of MY OWN MONEY
that spent last year organizing the
people of Johnson's home city and
other Range towns to operate bus
line to get back to the people of Vir-
ginia some part of their transporta-
ton service that Ed. Johnson help
ed to take away from them when he
voted for the Great Northern Ry
Company's monopoly bill-a well
known big interest-grab, that /
fought so hard against? Or did he
mean the days and days and weeks
that | have freely and gratutiously
given my time and money as one of
the founders and as the present,
Vice-president of the Minnesota Ar
rowhead Association and many other
valuable, civic building, constructive
clubs that have never even paid me
my bus fair to and from the hun
dreds of meetings of directors that |
have attended while fighting for the
common good? When he made that
unfair and unsscruplous statement
lid he not instead know, as does
every other good citizen, that Geo.
Lommen has given, without pay
ment of even his travelling expenses,
the differet civic and community en-
terprises as any man in the district?
JOHNSON DOES NOT KNOW
THAT LOMMEN IS GOING TO
GET MANY VOTES FROM JOHN
SONS FRIENDS FOR THAT REA-
SON ALONE.

TO GO TO THE SENATE AS A
REWARD FOR HIS UNTIRING
