LOUGHRAN RULES
HIGH HANDrDLY
in HIS DIVISION
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Staff Correspond

NEW YORK, April 7.-Tommy
Loughran grows more like Gene
Tunney every day.
The light weight champion now
dictates to his division, selects his
opponents, blackbals certain fight
crs and even tells Tex Rickard
where TO get off, just as Tanncy
does in the heavyweight class.
Loughran first turned thumbs
down upon Leo Lomski as an oppo-
ncnt, although the pole from Aber-
deem won the recent light heavy
weight elimination tournament with
something to spare.
Now Tommy has blacklistcd Jack
Delaney, who, the champion de
clarcs, has eliminated himself as i
light heavyweight contender by
signing for bout with Jack Shar-
key ON April 50.
When Sharkey gets through
with Delaney the latter will be
shown up and won't be any use as
an opponent for me- is the way
Loughran puts it.
With Lomski and Delaney off the
list, Loughran s choice has fallen
upon Shamus Slattcry, with whom
the champion had lively little
brawl in Madison Square Garden
one night last winter.
But Tommy does not propose to
sit around idle waiting for Tex Ric-
kard to make the match. Loughran
has advised Humbert j. Fugazy,
junior partner in the new promoting
firm of Mullen and Fugazy to fix
up title fight for the Buffalo boy
some spring evening.
Upon hearing of this, Richard re-
ported that he had an option on
Loughran 5 services until Scptcm-
Der.
"An option in New York state, .
rctortcd Tommy, who knows his op-
tions. 'is about as much use as yes
terday's weather forecast. 1t ism t
binding, according to the commits
sion which only recognizes the sign
ing of both fighters to Il contract. .
Gene Tunney discovered the same
thing some time ago. The heavy
weight champion has declared that
his agreement to Bickard extends to
his fight with Tom Hceney and no
farther.

GRAHAM REGAINS
WATCH AFTER 1T
Is LOST 6 YEARS
Student, Here from the North,
Springs Big Surprise on
History Professor
ELGIN STILL RUNS WELL

Sturgis E. Leavitt met me on
the street and asked me if l had
heard about Frank Graham's
sensational watch reeovery. l
had not, and thereupon the fol-
lowing tale was unfolded:
Mr.. Graham was in the read
ing room of the University of
Chicago library six, years ago.
He gathered up his books and
notes and went down to the
basement to pursue his investi-
cations in document room.
Later he discovered he had lost
his gold watch.
A young man named Sprague,
who worked in the library, came
upon the watch and turned it in
to the lost-and-found bureau.
The people in the bureau, seek
ing TO learn who the owner was,
sent the watch to another man
who had lost one of the same
kind, an Eigin. This man wore
it for some time and then one
day opened it and found engrav-
ed on the inside the name of
Frank p. Graham. So he sent
it back, and the lost-and-found
bureau. pursuant to its rules.
turned it over to the finder, Mr..
Sprague.
Years passed, and Mr.. Spra-
que decided to come from the
north to be a student in the Uni
versity of North Carolina. When
he had been here a week or so,
he heard somebody talking about
a professor by the name of
Frank Graham, and so he walk
ed into the professors office
and said, "Mr. Graham, here is
your watch" He told how he
had got it, and this was the
first time that Frank Graham
knew that his name was inside.
The he watch had had given ttee tee
him in 1922 by his freshman
history class.
It is still in fine condition.

Why North Carolinians Should
Vote the Democratic Ticket

"It is common enough" says
the Asheville Citizen, ITO hear
men say that it would be a good
thing for the South if its political
solidarity could be ended. That
is possibly so. But it would not
be a good thing for the South
to break under conditions which
would threaten the very life of
the Democratic party. If that
should happen the supremacy
of the Republican party would
be firmly established for prob
ably a generation at least. We
do not believe that thinking men,
regardless of their party affilia-
tions, will contend in their calm
moments that that would be
wholesome either for the South
or for the Nation"
In their effort to break the
Solid South the Republicans see,
or think they see, their best
hope in North Carolina. The
presence in this state, even in
normal times, of an active Re-
publican minority of respectable
size; the growing importance of
manufacturing, an interest ira
ditionally sympathetic with Re-
publican doctrine; the migra-
tion hither, in recent years, of
people from the North-these
conditions give some encourage
ment to Republican ambition in
this state; but these would
never suffice to oYerturn the
normal Democratic majority.
What the Republicans are really
counting upon-what they do not
admit, but what everybody
knows they are counting upon to
give them victory--is racial and
religious prejudice.
Good men and women are of
course supporting Hoover from
good motives. But in supporting
him they are not, as they fancy,
casting their votes for honest
and efficient government. They
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1928-11-02

are upholding in North Carolina
the forces of ignorance and
bigotry-they are aligning them
selves with the sinister ele-
ments which find their truest
expression in such organizations
as the Ku Klux Klan.
Prohibition. immigration,
farm-relief, international re-
lations, tax reduction, water
power-the Republican appeals
on these issues would never lead
North Carolina out of the Demo-
cratic fold. They are merely a
smoke screen behind which the
real struggle goes on: the strug-
gle to win over to Hoover hither-
to loyal Democrats who have
been inflamed against Smith be-
cause of his religion.
For the people of North Caro-
lima this issue Of tolerance-of
whether or not candidate shall
be prescribed for his religion
transcends in Importance all
other issues now under discus
sion. For, if the forces of in
tolerance are allowed to win
they will take hope and courage
their baleful influence will be
felt in education, in the churches,
in legislation, in every field
moral, intellectual, and economic.
Foes to learning, to enlight-
ment, to all progress, they will
be a plague upon the land.
We do not expect Republicans
in North Carolina to do other
wise than vote the Republican
ticket. We are not concerned
with them-there are not
enough of them, by many
thousands, to make a majority.
We are addressing these words
to Democrats and to those citi-
zens who are not allied with
either party. If you want to up
hold the better cause, and smite
evil, vote the Democratic ticket
next Tuesday.

RECORD BREAKING
VOTE INDICATED
BY REGISTRATION
Robertson Thinks That Probably
from 1000 to 1900 win
Go to the Polls
SUNSET AT SOL ON 9Th

Chapel Hill win cast a larger
vote next Tuesday than ever be-
fore. This is made certain by
the extraordinarily large regis
tration.
Registrar Paul Robertson pre-
dicted yesterday that from
1000 to 1000 citizens would
cast ballots in this precinct. Pro-
badly nearer 1900 than 1000.
This prediction he bases upon
the figures compiled from the
registration book. For the pri-
maries last June 219 persons
registered. For the election
this fall 394 registered. That is,
613 this year.
Under the law in this state
anybody who is once registered
stays registered as long as he
remains in the precinct. He does
not have to put his name down
anew for every election as in
New York and some other states.
Hence the 613 who registered
this year are to be added to those
who were already on the roll.
There are about 1900 names in
the book, but some are the names
of people who have died or gone
away. Mr., Robertson thinks
that the qualified voters reach
total of approximately 1900.
The total vote at previous
elections has run around 600.
The polls will be open next
Tuesday at the school from sun
rise to sunset. According to the
almanacs sunrise ON this day is
at 6:26 A. M. and the polls will
close at 5:0l p. M.

in 1894. Carolina has won Ia
and lost 3 of the 20 games
played, and 3 were ties. Last
year State won 10 to 6. The rec
ords of the teams this fall justi-
fly the expectation that Caro-
lima will win tomorrow.
