WRIGLEY FIELD. CHICAGO,
ILL.,. Oct. 5.-World series weather
was slightly sour here, but before
the first athlete stepped on the
field today the sun was struggling
to break through a gray sky and
the temperature was slowly "eaS-

starting time of the opening game.
Rain fell on the North Side be-
fore daylight and a high wind
whipped up big breakers on Lake
Michigan in front of the Edge

were at breakfast. The tempera-
ture was in the low sixties but
gradually shifted to clear the
skies.
Bleacherites Early
At daylight. prospective bleacher
customers in lines four abreast
that stretched for four blocks were
waiting for the gates to open.
Many Of them brought their hot
coffee along and it was nearly o
o'clock before the lines began to
move. They closed an hour later
with many thousands left outside
to mill around in the street.
It was a day for top coats and
the early birds we're well cooled
out by the lake breeze before there
Was any action on the field two
hours later.
Traffic in Sn0rl
Traffic in the vicinity of the
field was tied up in snarls before
noon, although few Of the grand
stand customers had arrived at
that time. The last-minute rush
for tickets was so great that spec

No changes in the lineups were
contemplated by the rival man

1877 HELD GUILTY
IN VOTING FRAUD
Most Plead No Defense in
Kansas City-U. S. Judge
Gives Light Terms.
BY the Associated Press.

Ey tIt ASSOClhteu FIcSS.
KANSAS CITY, May 5.-Federal
Judge Merrill E. Otis counted 1877 con-
victions and pleas of no defense in
Kansas City's sensational vote fraud
purge today and declared: "As yet
there is in America no power strong
enough to thwart justice"
Ninety-five indicted election work.
ers, both Democrats and Republicans,
paraded before Judge Otis yesterday
after he invited them to plead guilty
or no defense and help speed up the
long series Of trials growing out of
the November, 1886, election frauds.
Eighteen pleaded guilty. sEty-nine
pleaded no defense. Only eight stuck
to their original pleas of innocence
and demanded trials.
No Acquittals.
That brought the Governments box
score to date to:
Indictments-257.
Convictions-6l.
Pleas of guilty-26.
Pleas Of no defense-100.
Mistrials-4.
Acquittals-0.
Facing trial-70.
Judge Otis pronounced ''merciful
sentences" Three Democratic pre-
cinct captains drew prison terms of
year and day. in sharp contrast
with many previous sentences of three,
four and five years.
Scores were put on probation or
fined as low as $25 each. Others drew
jail terms Of three to six months.
Helpless Pawns.
Judge Otis told his crowded court:
Most Of them (defendants) were
but helpless pieces of a game played
by master minds. They should
be punished with as much leniency
as is consistent with justice.
I shall be merciful And shall
hope that hereafter men and women
will long hesitate to serve as
guinea pigs on which may be tested
out other mems theories that the
courts are impotent and the laws
vain"
Judge Otis announced these six
achievements of immeasurable value"
had been accomplished by the fraud
purge:
81. 1t has been demonstrated that
the laws of the United States safe
guard citizens against thievery and
fraud at all general elections.
20. 1t has been shown beyond any
possibility of doubt that the elections
in Kansas City have involved wide
spread thievery and fraud.
Can't Thwart Justice.
49, It has been proved that any
actual or implied promise of immunity
for ballot box crimes, by whomsoever
given, cannot be made good.
a. It has been demonstrated that
as yet there is in America no power
strong enough to thwart the admins
tration of Federal justice.
IS. An honest municipal election
now has been held in Kansas City
under the supervision of commissioners
of courage and integrity, executing the
will of a chief magistrate who believes
that public Office is a public trust.
"6. Renewed hope has been given
decent citizens; now they can more
assuredly believe that every man and
woman entitled to cast a vote will
have that vote counted as cast"

But when the nod went to Deane.
Burgin felt that the irregularities
were charged up to him and that
originally he had been in the posi-
ton of having received stolen goods,
knowing them to have been stolen.
He might vary the mercantile figure
by admitting that there are damaged
goods, but hardly that he has acquir-
ed them by larcenous means. He
thinks Deane profited more by IRE
gularities than Burgin did and the
procedure before the courts is a part
of the Burgin program to acquit him
self of implied looseness in those pri-
maries.
The Republicans have a strong and
capable campaigner in John R. Jones
who is ready to challenge the Demo
cratic nominee for joint debate. In
view of the state and public mini

considerable advantage from stirring

INTEREST HERE IN
OUTSIDE ELECTIONS
Many Inquiries At Dispatch
On South Carolina, Cal
ifornia Votes

Politically-minded folk in this COM
munity were greatly interested today
in the results of Democratic primaries
in South Carolina and California on
Tuesday, and frequent inquiries were
made of the Daily Dispatch as to the
latest returns.
Most sentiment expressed appeared
to be for Senator E. D. Smith in his
successful bid for a sixth term in the
United States Senate, defeating Gov
ernor Olin Johnston, lone hundred
percent New Dealer, and inferential-
ly backed by President Roosevelt.
Some sentiment was voiced against
Senator w. G. McAdoo. whose can
didacy President Roosevelt three
times approved, and who was trail
ing far behind Sheridan Downey, $50
a-weck-pension advocate, although no
one was found who thought such a
scheme could work.
There was resentment against at
tempts of the President to dictate to
the people of the states the type of
man they should send to Congress
Opinions heard were casual and not
sought-out.
Some of those interested sat by
their radios late into the night last
night listening for latest returns, and
were calling on the newspaper today
for still further information on the
results.

Endorsement Here
For Fletcher Job

Clarence e. Mitchell, Raleigh prin-
ter, and Wake legislator. is writing to
Henderson asking endorsement to
Governor Hoey of his candidacy for
appointment to the office of State
commissioner of labor ''to fill the I'M
expired term of Major A. L. Fletcher"
Fletcher has been. offered an $4,000
job in the Federal wage-hour, bureau
in Washington, but has not announced
his decision. though MitchelPs letter
appears to take it for granted Flet-
cher will take the offer. The labor job
here pays $500.
Mitchell, in his letter, recalls he
was runner-up to Fletcher in the 1882
Democratic primary, trailing by only
1900 votes. He also calls attention to
the fact that he represented Wake
county in the 1885 and 1897 legisla-
lures and special sessions of 1886 and
1888. He says he has operated a sue
cessful business for q years, and ex-
presses confidence of his liability to
conduct the affairs of the Department
of Labor to the best interest of all
the people of the State" $3.50
