Qf course there are thousands of cltlwn who now are very pronounrci) In their views on the matter of supporting Roosevelt and his new party, hut It is quite probable that lefore the time cornea to cast the ballot In No vember, a trrcnt majority of them come to realize, as have the men mentioiit ii. that it is not a matter of personal feelings but we of great importance to the nation nnd that, if they are Re publicans from principle, it will be more vi-e to continue the Party of prosperity In power rather than allow the jKwer to pass into thf hands of disgrunt led politicians of Itoth parties. Roseveii and his advisers, luch as lleney. Johnson, Flinn, inchot ( t ul, went into that con- wntion with th motto of Rule or Ruin fully adopted and when they found they could not rule they took the other course. When Senu'or Borah nnd Gover nor Hadley went into the con tention, jimt as ardent supporters of Roonevelt as were the others, they went in to win if possible, Dut if not. to abide by the re- u't.

We have no apologies to make for our team and only mention it to keep up. the interest already manifested by our people. It must be ra. membered that th only place where the boys get any money out of the games is at home and we get it all here, so if you are interested at all in the great garoa help the local team out by your presence at every game played at home.
