CLEVELAND WEST
WEiIRL
By Fritz"

Cleveland, Ohio, January IS,
The Cleveland East manager was
so worried during last Sat. game.
that, when they finally won 50 to
AZ his relief was so great that he
gladly bought drinks for the en-.
tire East and West aggregation.
Thanks lot Schnitz-hope your
blood pressure is back to normal.
Allowing East to run up
large first quarter lead again
proved fatal to our fighting quin.
tet, as they gave East the scare
of the season by outscoring them
in the last three quarters. With
four minutes left to play Vests
comeback had put them within
three points of the lead, but
East's last few buckets clinched
the victory. Keep up the good
work fellows, you played a swell
game. Gross was hot man for
East with II points, while Tiny
Meier and John Wolf played
outstanding ball for our Cow
boys. The West girls, led by
Irene Hallner, allowed East one
point while scoring l9, to con-
tinue to play championship ball.
Lucky thing East borrowed one
of our girls, for she scored that
point and prevented shutout.
Hope you had as good a time
after the game as we did. Thanks
a lot East.
At the installation of officers
last week all members pledged
their cooperation and support to
make this year the best and most
successful in our history. We're
out to establish the reputation
of being the friendliest club in
the TSJA., and the place where
all clubs can have the best time.
Everybody's behind you = good
luck John Kirtscher.

Be prepared to accommodate
this screwloose bunch in full
force tomorrow. They are COM
ing down to bring home Nhe ba-
con and avenge our defeat earlier
this season, so gangway and

BE STRONG!
BY Martha Schuller, Cleveland Wes

oy MaItAa ScLMlller, Cleveland West.
There is happiness ahead
Though a troubled path we treadA
Though we find that truer pride
Of achievement born, Of care
When we overcome despair.
Never think that hope is vain:
We shall work and build again!.
Side by side we'll march the way
TO the brighter, saner, better day!
And if we stay strong and stout
We shall work our problems out,
We are not here to dream-to drift
We have hard work to do and loads
to lift!
Shun not the struggle face it,
"Be strong!'
Say not the good old days are gone
forever,
Who's to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce -
o shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely too,
"Be strong!'
1t matters not how deep entrenched
the wrong!
How hard the battle goes!
Don't sit back but fight on-A
Tomorrow comes the song!
"Be strong!'

Bennett Free
Despite OK.
By Roosevelt
Opposition to President
in 1874 Is Forecast
By WESTBROOK PEGLER

By WESTBROOK PEGLER
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT,
L who tried so hard TO prevent
the nomination of John Bennett
by the Democrats for the office
of governor of New York, has
now given him a second belated
endorsement, but Mr.. Bennett
remains. nevertheless, a free
man, with no political obliga-
tons to the White House or the
New Deal Party.
This time, Mr.. Roosevelt made
1t good and strong, saying:
"As a citizen and voter of New
York, I express the sincere hope
that you and not Mr.. Dewey will
be our next governor"
But Mr. Bennett and Jim
Farley, who got him the nomina-
ton in a knockdown conte
with the President and the New
Deal, are wise enough to know
that the President had to do
this.
He couldn't endorse Mr..
Dewey, and if he had approved
Dean Alfange, the nominee of
the European element known as
the American Labor Party, he
would have made Dewey's cleo
tion certain.
THE upshot of it all is that
l. right now the New Deal is
rebuked in New York. for both
Bennett and Dewey are reac-
tionaries.
That is to say that they are
anti-Socialist and anti Commu-
mist Americans and, in addition,
il can be said with certainty
that they are oppose to
fourth term for President Roose-
welt and that in the 1914 con-
vention Bennett will oppose any
attempt by Mr.. Roosevelt to
name his successor.
This Is not debate. 1t is OBJ
vious fact.
Every one in politics knows
that Jim Farley has broken with
President Roosevelt, both per-
sonally and politically, and that
he has not given up hope that he
may be nominated in 1914.
And every one in politics
knows. moreover, that if Mr..
Farley sees that he cannot be
nominated himself he will yield
his own ambition and join with
other influential Democrats to
oppose the New Deal in the 1914
convention.
The Presidents letter to Ben
nett contained very unpleasant
insinuation that Dewey would
not uphold the national govern
ment in the conduct of the war
if he were elected.
HT ACCEPT rs a fact that I
L can count on full co-opera-
tion and unity between the con-
duct Of the affairs of New York
state and those of the national
government II you are elected"
he wrote.
Inasmuch as the letter also
mentioned Dewey by name that
plainly suggests that he could
not count on cooperation and
unity between the state and ma
tional government if Dewey
should win.
There is, Of course. no basis
for that insinuation, for Dewey
is as patriotic and as loyal to the
national government against the
enemies in the war as President
Roosevelt, himself, or any other
man.
However, it is sure that if
Dewey should be elected, he
would tear into the corrupt New
Deal organization, which uses a
front of idealism but collabo-
rates with crooked local and
state machines wherever they
exist, and would do his best to
send many influential crooks to
prison.
