"kingfsh" and head of his States dele
CATION. waved his arms wildly to hush
the boos of the delegates and finally
quieted them, permitting the Smith
speaker to continue.
All the time the demonstration was
under way the Roosevelt leaders and
the ants were working feverishly to
keep their own forces in line and at
the same time to pick of delegates who
have been counted for or against Roose-
welt.
A rumor was circulated that the
banking interests were on hand with
plenty Of promises and money, II need

velt Other rumors we're circulated to
the effect that Garner. Reed. Byrd and
other favorite son candidates. even Al
Smith, were about to withdraw their
names. Frank Hague of New Jersey,
Smith floor leader, thought so much of
the Smith withdrawal rumor that he
issued a long and formal statement
denying 1t and attacking the Roosevelt
claims.
Gossip about the possible deals for
the vice presidential nomination was
widespread, on the theory that Roose-
welt was nearly '1n" as the presidential
nominee. Ritchie of Maryland, Garner
of Texas, McAdoo of California, all
were in the gossip. not to mention
Newton D. Baker, James M. Cox, SEN
stor Bulkley and Gov White, all of
Ohio, and Traylor of Illinois and Byrd
Of Virginia. The Roosevelt leaders
were anxious to nominate their candi-
date without having made an actual
deal on the vice presidency, hoping
then to decide at a conference just
which Of the field Of vice presidential
possibilities would aid the national
ticket the most. However, they were
believed to be prepared to make deal
II it were necessary and possible to win
the presidential nomination for Roose-
welt.

LOCALS DEFEAT
YUMA TEAM IN
fine CONTEST

Playing above par in a desperate
battle against a record of seven de-
feats, the Imperial Valley All-Stars
last night turned seeming defeat
into clean victory by a late rally
which gave the locals a 8 to 2 vic
tory over the Yuma All-Stars, top
ping off victory for the Ell Cen
tro girls over the Yuma girls to
6.
A glorious effort to end their
season with an unprecedented vic
tory before some 1000 whooping
fans put the valley players in a
form which has not been equalled
this season.
The Yuma team jumped off to an
early lead in the first inning when
Hurst allowed two walks, followed
by two singles. That two run lead
loomed larger and larger as the
evening progressed, bringing Ell
Centro batters to the plate only
to retire them again. Then the
seventh inning rolled around.
Ted Ehmke led off with single
and went to third base on two wild
pitches. Tackett and Thomas were
retired Smith was the next man
up. He doubled, scoring Ehmke
with Ell Centro's first run. Hurst
then beat out an infield hit, Smith
scoring on the play.
When Yuma went down runless
in the eighth and ninth it seemed
that the teams would battle until
morning. Ted Ehmke walked in
the last of the ninth, with the
score tied. Tackett famed, bring
ing Thomas to bat. AS the tense
crowd watched, Thomas lined into
right field, and Ehmke scored with
the winning run. The crowd went
wild.
Thomas and Smith. with two hits
each, we're last nights heroes Miss
Hurst with two hits and Miss Reams
with home run, were stars in the
girls game.
The next game at Wilson field,
next Tuesday night, will bring the
long looked for championship play
off between the MackS and the
Golden State Creamery teams.

WOOD AND DON
TO COMPETE IN
RACE TOMORROW
By JOSEPH F. HEARST
United Press Staff CorresDondent


DETROIT, Sept. 2. = The me-
chanical genius and driving skill
Of two nations of record lovers will
be pitted against each other to-
morrow morning when Kaye Don,
of England, and Gar Wood, of De-
troit, pilot their powerful hydro
planes over Lake st. Clair in the
first 35-mile heat of the Harms
worth trophy race.
Don will send the Miss Eng
land III over the waters in an
effort to win back the famed
trophy which is emblematic of
world speed supremacy on water.
Wood, at the wheel of Miss
America x, will be driving what he
considers the finest craft he ever
built in battle to retain the old
bronze plaque which he won in
England in 1880.
Both pilots are veterans of speed.
Wood, gray haired and in his
early fifties, has been driving speed
boats since he was in his teens.
Don, 10 years or so his junior, has
progressed from airplanes to motor
cycles, automobiles and now boats.
He and his Miss England hold the
worlds speed boat record of 1881
miles an hour. Both are expert
enced in the hazards of racing, and
know its thrills and dangers.

Oakland, 6 to l. The veteran,
Frank Shellenback, was in rare
form, setting the Oaks down with
eight scattered hits while his team
mates were connecting with Steen-
CRAFTS offerings for Is bingles.
Portlands margin of leadership
in the pennant race was clipped to
four games as a result of the to 2
defeat the Ducks took from the
tail-end Missions. A series of
passes by Bill Shores and two sac
rifice hits enabled the Reds to
push across three runs in the sixth
inning.

morrow at 100 or more miles an
hour, he will be in complete charge
of the boat, as he both pilots and
operates the throttle But not so
with Wooa.
While he does the plotting, his
mechanic, Olin Johnson, will OPP
crate the throttles, just as he has
in all of Woods other races. Don
applies the gas with foot throttle,
so constructed that he can accel-
crate both engines simultaneously,
or decelerate one, as on turn,
while giving full power to the other.

Plans Race Track
In Contra Costa

MARTINEZ, Calf, Sept. 2. U.P)-
Plans to construct a race track in
Contra Costa county were an
nounced today by William P. Kyne
following the action of the county
board of supervisors in granting
him five-year permit to operate
a race tracn.
Three sites in the county are
under consideration. The most
likely one, it was said, is at San
Pablo, near the Alameda county
line. Work on the track which will
cost more than 100000 will begin

Wood has never been timed ac-

INDEPENDENCE NOW

strange Philippine independence bill has been
passed by the senate. Representing an unusually
large number of compromises the price of passage,
it is so contradictory that it defies classification
Those chiefly responsible are the sugar and other
special interests the hand and the last ditch
neutrality-suspicious. men on the other hand. Between
them they have added greatly to the muddled state
of a very important issue.
In it's final form, the bill provides twelve year
interim before independence and imposes trade and
immigration restrictions. Instead of carrying the
original senate bill provision for plebiscte at the
end of the trial period. of making the grant of
freedom automatic, as in the house bill, the new
measure would make the Philippine vote on con-
stitution form of plebiscite.
This left-handed plebiscte has the disadvantages
of both the original senate and house bills with the
advantages of neither. The Philippines have de-
clared for independence so often that there is
need for a plebiscite
But if there is to be one, certainly it should be
direct and not confused with an entirely different
referendum the proposed hybrid method is an in
vitation to politicians to put an evil const-
tuition which the people must accept to make their
vote count for independence.
But an even more serious fault of this bill, and
also of the eght-year delay house BILL is that it
creates period in which the United States will have
diminishing political control but continuing political
responsibility.
This is unwise at any time. 1t is positively fool
hardy in the present chaotic state of international
affairs.
We owe the Philippines trade preferences over a
period of years in which they can build economic
freedom But they should take full political re-
sponsibty.
Independence should be immediate

manship inherent in past experience with monetary
rewards for veterans.
First and foremost stands Mr.. Hackers warning
that the present bonus drive is only feeble first
step in the ultimate campaign. The Civil war was
in 1865 but the first real pension act was not
passed until $780, The bars not let down finally
until Theodore Roosevelt waved his hat and recon-
mended the bill Of 1907. forty-two years after
Appomattox
Hacker believes that the real bonus crusade will
begin after 1914 BY this time she present bonus
certificates will have been paid of and the public
debt retired in large part Then there will exist
surplus which will entice the American Legion and
suggest promising expedients to the politicians
Next in order is Mr.. Hackers well-taken conten-
ton that we do not have SO much to fear from the
aoldiers as from the patroteers, the putocras and
the politicians They ever have been the real driving
force behind special favors FOR soldiers.
To the patrioteers, pensions and bonuses are par
tcularly congenial and welcome. They keep alive
the gories of militars They distract the veterans
and their dependents from critical social economic
and civic questions and prevent them from becoming
dangerously liberal or discontented.
Gratuities tie up the warriors with the prevailing
system which hands them dole. All this assures a
coherent and disciplined bloc which can be relied
upon to defend the existing order to the death if
need be-
The plutocrats also are we'll served by lavish
grants to the returned soldiers. They can declare
that bonuses and tariffs go together as siamese
twins in the American system" sPensons deplete
the national surplus and lessen the pressure to cut
tariff rates
Moreover. they lessen the need and possibility of
expenditures for public works and other Socalistc"
enterprises which might launch dangerous pre-
cedents BY cutting into the surplus they also make
it less logical to retire the national debt and thus
to put premium government bonds, which are
so necessary to the banking system.
Finally, the plutocrats join the patrioteers in
viewing with satisfaction the grateful millions who
will rise to repel any threats to the system of GU
pidity and greed
Most Of all do irresponsible politicians gloat over
the pension barrage. They were the driving force
in the scandals connected with the post-Civil war
pensions. Waving the bloody shirt is a great vote
getting stratagem.
Moreover, the millions of veterans and their de-
pendentS constitute a large and dependable group
likely to support the party which has favored them
Finally, pensions administration provides a large
number of fat jobs and lucrative patronage which
no astute politician can well afford to ignore.
Therefore while our statesmen must be on their
guard against raids on the treasury above and be-
yond the just deserts of disabled veterans, they
ahould not be too hard on the soldiers or the
soldiers organizations. They also must be on the
alert for the astute pirates who use the veterans
as stalking horses and suckers
