Wednesday evening a mass meeting was
held at the State Capitol building. witt
Lieutenant Governor Mccormack as the
frst speaker. He stressed the point that
only about fifty per cent of the qualified
voters exercised their privilege, and he
warmly commended the League for its eff
forts to educate citizens in regard TO their
duty in this respect.
Right here ii may be we'll to explain
that the League IS strictly nonpartisan. IL
seeks TO instruct voter. in regard to con.
ditions here and throughout the world, ana
then leaves it to the individual voter to
decide what party, in his or her judg-
ment will function best. And herein lies
its strength. The day is forever gone
when one can merit respect by advancing
the reason for his voting a certain ticket.

Mrs. E.. j. Mott. Director of the Seventh
Region Of the National League. and who is
also a member of the San Francisco school
board, spoke on Education, of its later
Ideals and their development. Following
this Miss Josephine Schain OF New York
City, Director of International Corpora
Niea TO Prevent War related how her visit
10 southern Europe had impressed her
with the necessity of settling national dis
Dntes in some more civilized manner than
that afforded by war. She was followed

At l p. m. a luncheon was held at the
Placer Hotel, DR.. Bonness acting as toast

were Miss Schain. Mrs. Mott, Mrs. Wine

invited by the Butte delegation to hold its
next meeting in that city. The invitation
was accepted.
The reception given at the Governors
residence was a delightful ending of the
convention.
Measures receiving the endorsement of
the League were these: Ratification of Ma

along what lines the League is working.

LACKED HEART
TO KNOCK OUT
HIS OPPONENTS
So George Mulh0lIand Quit
Boxing and Opened Three
WOmen's Hat Stores

indianapolis. lad, April 2S.--
tNEA, You need fighting heart
and the viciousness that made Jack
Dempsey famous to rate among the
topnotchers in the boxing world.
That explains why George Null
holland. former Butler athlete, is
now operating Il chain of womcn's
hat stores here instead Of boxing
for Il living-hc lacked the heart
and viciOusness!
For four years, Mullholland was
4 football star at Butler. During
those same four years. he boxed
quite bit in collegiate circles.
lie had the build Of Tunney and
the physique of an iron man and, as
a result, he was crowned national
A. a. u. junior lightweight cham
pion before he was through rs an
amateur.
Olympic Team Member
He was also member of the
1924 Olympic term that Uncle Sam
sent to Europe.
Like Lalsarba and a great many
amateurs when later cashed in as
professionals, Mullholland felt the
need of big dough-especially since
college expenses were piling up re-
CARELESS of the size of his ROLAND
turned pro last December.
The beginning Of his professional
career was most successful. He
chalked up victories against some of
the best light heavies, despite his
lack Of experience.
He had everything. That is every
thing but the fighting heart that
could have made him a great fighter.
Too Much
lie had the punch to rock 'em to
sleep, but he never used it. He didn't
have the heart. He was known for
his craftsmanship, one sports writer
said, and he never could reconcile
himself to battering an opponent
until he took the count.
Enter the hat stores.
Mullholland said he couldn't work
under any man and that he had to
get into business of his own.
Millinery shops have always ran in
his family, so it wac not surprising
to find him interested in that line.
Managing three women's hat stores
is about all one fellow can worry
| about anyway, and this enterprise
of the youth who might have been a
king in the boxing world is some
| thing quite different from any
| athletes attempts in the business.

New York, April 28.-tPy-Gene
Tunney, heavyweight champion OF
the world is willing to do without
the glad hand of hero worship, he
told Robert II. Davis, whose story
to that effect is printed in the New
York Sun today.
The champion regards handshak-

and no president should participate
in any demonstration that requires
him to shake hands with Il line of
people, he thinks.
"No man can stand it," he said.
'.Thc act Of extending your arm and
taking Il strange hand IN your own,
bestowing grip and receiving an
other is the most cxhausting thing
in the world"
Tunney spoke to Davis while ad-
mrers pumped his hand and pre-
sented menus for his autograph at
the boxing writers annual dinner.
ut would be good deal worse if
they did not shake hands with you

President Harding was SO weakened
with public receptions that he became
easy prey to illness in Alaska after
his trans-continental tour.
Weakened Roosevelt
And it weakened Roosevelt, Tunney
said, even though the colonel was
"the nations champion handshakcr.'
Roosevelt always put kick in
his grip" the smuggling philosopher
as Davis describes him, remarked
"As his hand frightened his mouth
opened, he talked and smiled and as
his animation increased his whole
body became part of that clasp.
Il was present at a gathering dur

INTEREST HIGH
IN TRACK MEET
Many Entries Expected ia
Capital City Tournament
Smaller Schools Strong

Interest in the Capital City Track
and Field Meet, to be held here May
7, is growing high, and many schools
are expected to register for the event
before the final entry date of April
80, according to those in charge.
The meet this year promises to be
more closely fought than heretofore.
Bismarck had an easy time winning
last year, with Ashley coming sec
ond, >Mandan third and McClusky
fourth. This year, however, strong
opposition is expected from Mandan,
and several Of the smaller schools,
such as Ashley. McClusky, Garrison
and Washburn are reported to be de.
velopng formidable outfits.
While Bismarck has good team
this year. the lack Of Dichl and sew
eral Of last years luminaries is
bound to make u difference in the
number of points gained. dollhouse,
who acquitted himself we'll in the
state meet at Grand Forks, is back,
however, and there arc several new
men who show promise Of helping to
bolster up the team.
Heidi, at Mandan, is considered a
likely point-getter, a. are Voseka,
Dietrich, Seitz, Borresen and several
new men.
If Ashley, McClusky. Garrison and
Washburn come down with strong
teams, it will not be difficult mat
ter to split up the points in such a
way that one Of them will win the
title. This contingency is now being
considered by coaches and the re-
suit should be ficrcer battle for
the title this wear than heretofore.

Bismarck high in each event were

Thursday Friday and Saturday.
