TOMMY LoUGHRAN occupies a
unique position in the boxing
world by reason of his recent vic
tory over ancient Mike McTigue.
Loughran is a popular nan with
a donated" or unpopular title.
Here's how:
McTigue was awarded the title
of light-heavyweight champion
arbitrarily by the New York box
ing commission after Delaney's
retirement. The field is full of
good contenders, and the reason
for choosing McTigue above any
of the others must remain M of
the mysteries that shroud the
strange ways of the cornish.

SAVE OUR SHOES

Shoes kept in a warm, damp,
and dark place are almost certain
to mildew. Mildew probably will
not seriously harm the shoes I'M
less it is allowed to remain too
long, but it may change the color.
When first detected, the mildew
should be washed off with soap
and water, or simply wiped off
with a moist cloth and the leather
well dried. 1t is better to pre-
vent mildew by keeping the shoes
in a well-ventilated, dry light
place.

Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
of Illinois, who issues a formal
statement Choosing" to run for
the Republican nomination for
Representative at large from ILL
nois, is the widow of former Sena-
tor Medill Mccormick and a
daughter of the late Senator Mark
Hanna, of Ohio.
She is one of two women in
Washington credited with remark
able political acumen. a trait in
which her father excelled. Mark
Hanna for years was one of the
leading men of his party, and in
the days of President McKinley's
tenure of Office was a power in
in the administration. Senator Nc
Mccormick often referred to his
wife as the politician of the fam
lily.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth
is the other feminine politician
who ranks with Mrs. Mccormick,
in the esteem of their compatriots
of the opposite sex. She, too, is
credited with having inherited
from her famous father the tricks
of the trade of which he was a
master. She and Mrs. Mccormick
are close friends, and it is entirely
within the range of possibility
that they may be found helping
each other; Mrs. Longworth to
nominate and elect Mrs. McCorm-
ick to office, and Mrs. Mccormick
to nominate and elect Mr.. Long
worth as chief executive of the
nation.
In the primaries next April Mrs.
Mccormick will have as her OPP
ponent either Representative Yates
or Representative Rathbone, Meth
er of whom can be overjoyed at
the prospect of this militant OPP
ponent.
Mrs. Mccormick has been active
in woman's organizations in Hi
MOS and the nation for years. She
is said to have a card index of
every woman voter in her state,
which she has used effectively on
other occasions, and which she
doubtless will bring into use now
against her opponents.
She was an opponent OF the
League of Nations ratification

when that measure was before
the Senate during the Wilson adj
ministration, and is said to have
held in line several senators wav-
ering toward ratification.
If elected, Mrs. Mccormick will
be the sixth woman representative
to sit in the House.

CLOSE-UPS IN THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

The conference OF the national
committeeman of the Republican
party. which recently ended in
Washington, was either a shrewd
bit of politics or a stupendous
blunder, and observers r yet I'M
decided which it was.
Called ostensibly for the pur-
pose of discussing the state of
the party, and the selection of the
convention city for 1923, undercur-
rent opinion was that the real pur-
pose of the meeting in the mind
of chairman Butler was the draft
ing" of the President for another
term. Achieving no conspicuous
success in that direction, the com
mitteemen spent much of their
time discussing the candidacy of
Governor Al Smith, of New York,
and the efforts of his friends to
secure for him the nomination in
the rival party.
This was a curious pastime. But
even more curious was the large
number of electoral votes accred-
tied to the New York democrat if
he becomes the nominee of his
party. One count ran as high as
278 votes, it is reported, sufficient
to elect in a contest where the
total available vote is only 531.
The gentlemen with the pencils
Immediately started the pairing
process, in the natural course of
events, as republican leaders see
it, their own nominee, whoever
he may be, had a majority.
Presently they had Smith back
to a total where all good repub-
licans are supposed to rank demo-
Gratis, and vice versa, in any pre-
election discussion.
Two differences are drawn. The
republicans are DESTROYS of seeing
Smith the opponent of the repub-
lican nominee, and permitted the
high total estimate of electoral
votes to become known in the
hope that their democratic friends
will not see the trap and accept
Smith as the democratic standard
bearer. Or else the republican
chieftains are genuinely fearful
of the Smith candidacy, would re-
greet as much to see him in the
as a certain group within
Smiths own party, and in an I'M
guarded moment permitted their
calculations to be seen by gentle
men of the press. If the latter
surmise was correct, chairman
and his advisors have been
of an inexcusable error.
Mark Hanna and Murray Crane,
in the old days, would have yield
ed grudgingly to Smith a portion
of the Solid South, and a few
other scattering votes, or they
would have asked, in the urbane
innocence which they could as
sumo at will, who is this man
Smith, anyway"
