- But is it likely "that the fight

money against so heavy an oppon
ent and bo skilled and foxy a boxer
as Commissioner de Holman?
-Mr. de nolman's right swings are
said to be" terrible. And he is
equally handy with his left. Sev
eral people on whom he has landed
were never found. Some ' of the
best posted of the ring experts are
convinced that ...Mr. de Holman
could easily prove himself " a new
and . dependable white man's hope.
These! things are mentioned as a
gentle suggestion to Commissioner
O'Hart not to go into the ring with
the big heavy weight - unless'- he
gets a handicap. ! ! One swing to
the; 'jaw; from de Holman's - left
might leave "Multnomah county
with only two commissioners, re
ducing the board to a tie, which
would bring county business to "a,
standstill. The fatal ending of the
mill might land de Holman in Jail,
after which it would be no longer
possible to use the campaign Rlogan
that 'this is a RepuMIcan yeari"
If Mr. O'Hart's feelings are such

had a ' long and severe training.

when hoar after hour la reeled off,
when a man' eyeballs are burning

when every? muscle Is strained
