"I SHALL STAY IN THE
RACE!"
These were the concluding words
of an interview accorded a represen
tative of the Morning Astorian, last
evening, by Hon. Isaac Bergman, ,t
his Bond street home, during which
the peculiar manipulations of the
Smith-"Citizens"-convention of Mon
day night," were freely, and dis
gustedly, adverted to by the nominee
of the Astoria 'Democracy, for the
office of Mayor.
"Never in my life have I been so
astonished and dismayed as I was at
that meeting. My candidacy for the
mayoralty was the outcome of many
kindly and tnsistant request on the
part of my friends, and my accept
ance of it was more in deference to
their wishes than of my own. I
think I must have been the only man
in Logan hall on Monday night who
did not know of Tony Smith's ulter
ior plans in this direction; ad in all
my political life I have never been
treated as he treated me. A few
hours before the assembling " of the
convention I had intimated, in
Smith's own office, my indisposition
to take the place, and had begged his
brother, John H. Smith, to enter the
field and relieve me; but they both
insisted , on my retaining the claim,
and position, I had assumed, and I
did so. I feel the incident more than
I can well express, but having gone
into it with the best faith in the
world, I do not feel called upon to
relinquish my attitude nor aspira
tion, and shall not do so, unless, at
the Democratic primaries on the 9th
of November, be shall have again
oust me at the polls. I do not know
what he will do nor do I care. As
thinzs stand. I shall stay in the
race." "'.
This, is, substantially, the expres
sion of the man who was so boldly
knifed in the "house of his friends'
on Moiiday night; and it is the sense
of every personal friend of Mr. Berg'
man in the city. It is said they in
tend to stand by him to the last
ditch; There is no discount on the
very broad and resentful feeling that
dominates' Mr. Bergman's friends
and this is likely to grow rather than
diminish as the campaign pro
gresses."'"; '"' '.... "' '

IT'S A GOOD THING TO REFER
to the reputation of a store before
making any important purchases
therein. Before you buy is the time
to look up the matter. Ask questions.
Find out if the store you intend pa
tronizing keeps its pledges. Be sure
that you learn if it sells the qualities
it claims; if it treats ts customers
honestly and fairly, then, if satisfied,
buy there. Do all the asking you
wish about us among your , friends,

ASTORIA FOOTBALL
(Continued from page 1)
to the (fact that an
by when
score was due
Astoria player was , near
another fumble occurred near the
Portland Academy's goal line. , Al
though both their scores were made
on what might be termed flukes, the
Astoria team clearly had the better
eleven,, and was speedier than the
home aggregation at every point One
exception to this was noted in punt
ing, for Cookingham time and again
booted the sphere for a distance of
40 years and saved his team-mates
from impending peril.
Portland Academy opened pro
ceedings by kicking off to the 15
yard line, from which place Astoria
began a steady march toward their
opponents' goal. After, two long
end-runs by Upshur and some good
gains by Parker through tackle, the
ball was landed on the Academy's
40-yard line. The Academy team
held at this point and Astoria was
forced to punt. Upshur drove s
pretty spiral which dropped in Cook
ingham's arms on the goal line.( The
onrushing Astoria end must have
upset the nerve of the Academy
quarterback, for he dropped the ball
and an Astoria man fell on it for a
touchdown. The trial at goal failed
and the score was 5 to 0.
The Portland Academy team had
not had the ball in its possession yet
and the first attempts on the offen
sive were unsuccessful either in pen
ctrating the opponents line or in
circling the end's. The onside' kick
was resorted to and was used after
that with varying success through
out the game. For the remainder of
the game the ball zig-bagged from
one end of the field to the other,
neither side being able to gain with
enough consistency to score. Stoyer
for Astoria -was seen repeatedly to
break through the opposing line and
break up the formations.
The second half was characterized
by long runs and much shifting of
the cene of battle, Morton, Astoria's
diminutive end, was used in end-runs
around the other wing and proved a
good ground-gainer. His fleetness
ana agility in dodging tackiers were
productive of several long runs. Both
sides scored in this half and several
scores were averted by fumbles being
recovered, and by good tackles ..." As
toria scored first about the middle of
the half, when Holmes picked tip the
ball on an onside kick and ran 30
yards for a touchdown. Portland
Academy's score came late in the
half just before the whistle blew and
was on a pretty drop-kick from the
25-yard line by Cookingham. The
Academy boys had punted from the
midfield and recovered the ball on
the 30-yard line on a fumble. An
onside kick was worked prettily and
put the ball, on the 15-yard line. , At
tempts to penetrate the Astoria line
were unsuccessful and Cookingham
went back for a try at goal. Stand
ing on the 25-yard line he sent the
ball soaring; straight ' between ' the
goals.

FICTION ANO FACT
Dreams of Authors That Havo
Turnod Into Realities.
The delrer among old book, often
finds, says tho Borlln Umschau, prophe
cies made, by writers which in, their
day were nothing but romance. This
can be so easily observed by reading
the works of Jules Verne, and there
are also books in which airships, the
telephone, 'pbofogrtfphy and tho motor
wagon have been spoken of generations
before these were accomplished facts.
A novel entitled "Der Kluge Mann."
published by Vons & Co., Lelpsic, 171)5,
by nn author named Cramer shows a
Roentgen picture. The story tells pf
the Countess Abllllnln, who gave her
heart to the knight Glbello. . The
knightly lover was thoughtless enough,
however, to kill his ladylove's fnther,
and her affection turned to hatred, mid
she rowed to kill him. In a dream she
saw the man who bad fascinated her,
and she stood ready to kill bim, when
suddenly IiIh. form changed, and before
her stood a grinning skeleton, snying,
"I have already been punished." This
scene is illustrated in the old book, ami
the picture is not unlike a Roentgen
photograph, but when It was published
no one probably would have believed
that science within a comparatively
short time would make it possible to
produce this picture, which the author's
Imagination invented.
