elements OF the workers fully appreciate the value

CURRENT EVENTS
BY T. J. o'FIaherty.

(Conhnued from page u
on any mentioned for the office so far.
1t is no other than the desert pack
rat. Brisbane is looking over real
estate in the Mojave Desert of Cali
fornia, and got to like the ways of
this 100 per cent American rodent.
What endeared the rat to Arthur was
the little animals addiction to pre-
paredness. Rattlesnakes, ground owls
and gophers are mortal enemies of the
pack rat, so he protects his hole with
thorns. (Too bad Arthur does not
gage the hole in his head with a ball
Of glue.)
THIS gives Arthur an idea. So he
develops it thusly: $50 the desert
rat prepares and does his little best,
with thorns and cactus. If he were
president Of the United States he
would build flying machines, and make
this nation independent of the flying
rattlesnakes of Europe and Asia" It
requires quite a lively Imagination,
tho, to picture president whose ia.
vorite abode is a hole in the ground
going up in the air Immediately after
his election. But we have known
presidents to change their opinions
after they hit the white house.
IF Brisbane dominates his pack rat
L suggest that a committee Of re-
sponsiblc citizens interview a healthy
polecat with view to getting him
to throw his tail into the ring. The
polecat could represent the republican
party and the pack rat the democratic
party. Indeed, the election of the pole
cat would make a feet of airplanes
superhuOus. We could organize an
army Of polecats and have them use
the radio against foreign foe. Loyal
Americans could be forewarned to
have their gas masks handy and the
full force of the polecat attack could
be used to repulse the enemy. This
idea is hereby released without any
rights reserved. Our militarists should
take note of it. But, then, perhaps they
don't care for competition!

that a fat, red face is always a sign
of health" So what can you do about
it except eat drink milk and be

Canapaigners In Y.M.C.A.
Drive to Meet Tonight


Forty men who have agreed to cake
part in the solicitation for Y. M. c. A.
members will meet at the 'Y' building
tonight at 1880 at which time an out
line of the campaign and methods Of
solicitation will be presented.
1t is expected that Fred D. Pierce,
interstate secretary, will be here, and
will help in the set-up meeting. A large
number of prospect and renewal cards
have been prepared, and these will be
posted on the walls in divisions repre-
senting the city, railroad, G. and A.
smelter and Copper Queen smelter. So
licitors will choose the cards which
they will see during the week.
e. J. Huxtable and Henry Williams
are to guide the Yankees, while M. E.
Jacks and ST .K1utz will handle the
Cardinals. 1t has been decided that
three memberships of any kind and of
any length of time will count as a hity
while three of these hits will make a
run. Also the receipt of $24 will count
as hit and three of these as a run,
so it is possible for campaigners to
make runs in two ways.

at 8 o'clock to organize a republican
club in this city brought out a large
acted. Attorney Jsmes p. BoyIe was
called upon to act as chairman OF
the meeting, and thereupon attention
of those present was called to the
fact that Constitution day pro-
gram was being observed in the Ma
jestic theater, and that it was thought
best to postpone the transaction and
discussion of any business until Mon

fact that the women of the party are

STARS FOR TITLE
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. IL
Americas last hope faded from The
national tennis championship today
when Vincent Richards, youthful New
Yorker was eliminated in a five-see
semi-final match by Jean Bortora,
the ''bounding basque" The csores
were 3-6, GA, 4-6, 6-8, 6-2.
AS a result it will be an all-French
final tomorrow for the title which
passed yesterday from the hands OF
"Big Bill" Tilden Borotra will be
pitted against Rene La Coste, who
today also won an uphill vfie-se,
victory over his countryman, Henri
Cochet, &c, GA, 7-5, 6-3.
Only twice before has even one
foreigner reached the American fin
ais. Twenty -four years ago, in 1902,
Reginald F. Doherty, British ace, won
the all-comers, only to be defeated
by William A. Larned in the chal,
lenge round then in vogue to decide
the championships. The following
season, however, Hugh L. Doherty'
second of the two famous English
brothers, lifted the title.
La Coste, who won the American
indoor championship in New York last
February by defeating Borotra in tho
finals, also had an uphill battle on
his hands today before he joined his
rival compatriot in the title bracket.
The cool and calculating stylist took
the measure ofhis countryman, Henri
Cochet, whose spectacular attack ac-
complished the downfall of the six
tipoa American chamnion big RilI'

Cochet seemed headed for another
startling triumph today when no
romped through the first two sets In
impressive fashion, but he tired, LOSE
control and succumbed finally to the
remorseless steadiness of La Coste.
The scores were rs, 4-6, ga, ga.

Manchester, Nov. Z-(RD-RepuD-
lican victories with decisive results
was the rule at the biennial election
in New Hampshire today. The vote
was light, the totals being estimated
at 20 per cent less than two years
ago.
The election of Huntley n. Spauld-
ing of Rochester as governor, the re-
election of Senator George H. Moses
and Congressman Fletcher Hale and
Edward H. Wason, an overwhelming
majority in the legislature and cleo
ton of four If not all of the five
councillors by the Republicans were
shown by unofficial and fairly COM
plete returns.
Tabulation of the vote in 195 out
of 294 towns and wards gave Mr..
Spaulding a margin of 2O.0lO over
Mayor Eaton D. Sargent. Democrat,
of Nashua. Their totals were:
AZ ,435 to 27,425. The same towns
gave Senator Moses lead of 21,SO4
over Robert C. Murchie, the totals
being 47,713 to 25,909. Both voted
in the same ward in Concord.
In the First Congressional District.
63 out of 131 towns and wards gave

ut is evident that New Hampshire
has not diluted her Republicanism.
Neither rain, nor snow, nor any 9TH
