Wrestling occupied the attention
of the male portion of the popula

olatcd over tho. roughest form of

gentler moriients. a wrestler only
endeavors to ram the head of his
opponent through the floor, or
cast him through the roof. Also
many of the simpler dance holds
are applied, accompanied by dra
matic grunts from the depths of
the contestants. If the foe needs
electrifying, the knuckles of either
hand are rasped over tho knuckles
of the backbone, nearly always
causing spontaneity on the part
of the rasped.. This Is considered
as playfulness.' A wreHtler will

BIO BILL WILL WIN
t
BIQ BILL THOMPSON'S threat that he "may resign" if
Swunsoii in iiiiiiiinatcil in Tuesday's primary, certainly
gives the voters of ('hicutto '"' excellent opportunity to kill two
pestiferous birds with one stone.
Big Bill, however, knows his onions. Strange as it may
seem to outsiders, a majority of the people of Chicago want to
keep their "Anglophohiastin "William" in the City Hull. They
want an "open town" ami Hig Bill is the man who can give it
to them.
So it is a ten-to-onc shot that the odoriferous .Sniall-Tliomp-Ron
combine will win again. The fact that Bill is merely bluff
ing, will make little difference to the mass of morons he controls.
For with Big Bill out, they would lose their graft, and graft
is what makes the political world in Chicago go around.
IT'S SURE TO
AS the presidential election approaches, tho nomination of
AI Smith as the Democratic nominee becomes increasingly
certain. The statement mado in' these columns several mouths
ago, that only a flat refusal by Smith himself could prevent his
nomination, is more true today than ever before.
As a result the Republican strategy is certain to be based
upon the selection of the man who can make the strongest race
against the New York governor.
The delegates at Kansas City will be in no mood to take
chances. As tilings now stand, the race will be between Hoover
and Ix)wden, and developments between now and June will
largely determine the outcome.
Unquestionably Hoover is the man best qualified for the
job, but his lack of political shrewdness is going to work against
him. nis early "burst of speed" wan, a tactical blunder. Kor
he has been marked by his opponents as the man to beat, and
there is already a formidable combination against him.
Nevertheless, he has one outstanding advantage. The rank
and file of the Republican party are for him. No man in the
country today has a larger or more enthusiastic personal fol
lowing. If the political sagacity their leader lacks is shown by his
followers, if an aggrcssivo organization is formed, and the nat
ural assets accumulated are not dissipated, Hoover will win the
nomination and undoubtedly be the next President of the United
States.

vNlne experts found that jinx
waa sane, there was no blem
ish in his brain. They asked
him questions full of tricks,
which would have bothered
dippy hicks, but Jinx replied,
exceeding well, and all his an
swers rang the bell. , They
U.sted him with strange ma
chines that rcgiHiHi-ed, in reds
and greens, whatever happened
in his mind, and he proved
cultured and refined. Ko they
were ready to declare that
when Jinx Mole Hill John
son's mare, his faculties pos
sessed no flaw he waa re
sponsible ut law. The Jurors
smiled and thought, '"Oh, chee.
this case in simple as can he."
Nine experts came for the de
fenne and showed Jinx was
lacking senpe; he wan a feeble
minded wight who couldnt tell
the wrong from right. They
catechised him half a day and
showed his brains were all
astray; they tested him with
some device whlcli demon
strated, in a trice, that all his
wheels were turning wrong,
were running backward right
along. These experts were
prepared to swear that if Jinx
stole Bill Johnson's mare, he
didn't know it was a sin. he
had no moral guide within.
The jurors to their room re
tired, and there they argued
and inquired, and chewed the
rag and writhed In woe, and
cussed' the experts to and fro;
in grief they saw two long
days flee, and then agreed to
disagree. Ko Jinx, he must be
tried again; and will they send
him to tho pen? No man can
say, for the defense Is gaining
further evidence; they'll have
twelve experts all in line, and
twelve are better far than nine.
The prosecution's nailed six
more, and hopes to gather
twenty - four. And old lillt
Johnson goes on foot, and
hopes that justice will stay
