JACK DEMPSEY PROVE!
MOST ELUSIVE !
AGE IN THE
(Preston News SorVice.)
New York City.. Sept. 22.?It is
amazing will* the audacity with which
Jack Dempscy continues* his game ot
stalling in order to dodge meeting
worthy opponents. The public is rapiu
iy growing tired of tli?s sort of con-,
tluet on tho part of the t.itlo holder
and sport writers in all quarters of
the country and beginning to say so.
11111 IL'Hl 1 V'O Ul IIIU ^t'UVIill tVMIVUUOUO VI
opinion among t'ho fair iniiulcd writers
in tiio lurgc white dailies through
out (lie country Harry J. Boyle, snorting
editor of (lie Pittsburgh Chronicle
Tolegraph has the following to say ui?
dor tho capt,ion of "'Dompsey's Main
Rivals are Mipko and Wills:"
"Prospective exponents for Denipsy
aro Wills, Misko, Orel), Cnrpentier,1
Plrpa, Bronan, Williard, Jack Jolui.son
and Beckett, and according to Fren
Keats, the eastern sharp, thoy rank in
somothing like that order. Tho imm
Dempaey shows tho least dosire to
mcjct is Willii who ranks first. Tho
man Dempscy lias expended the most
energy is chasing after is Brenan, who
ranks down near the bottom of the de
nWlAltr ttrAitlr Hut Tnoo TV^llnf/1 Ulinf lvOF
helpless contender, also comes in for
a great (leal of attention from the
champion as does Firpo, a novice, and
Beckett, worso than a novice. As a mat
ter of fact, Dempsey figures to beat(
them nil, including Wi,ll$, but it rath-j
or strange that ho lias so little to say!
about the men the public would have
him meet, and is so anxious to -tackle
thoso who could not force him to get)
up a good sweat. It is true that Demp j
sey had been forced to talk of a Wills
match a great deal of late, but he has J
match onn crtga etaoin slirdlu cmfwy
never shown any real pleasuro in the'
prospect, even though the fight is like!
ly to net lijm a half million. Foi j
months he tried his hardest to discour,
age talk of that match. Ho threw;
every possible obstacle in ll>e way, at
the same time doing his best to appear
willing. As a last rosort he demanded
a guaranty of $500,000 and the mofney
posted in advance.
Dom>psoy should beat Wills because
the champion is a much bettor boxer,
is a shorter, foster and more accurate)
hitter and can stand up under more
punishment. All Wills lias shown u'
great strength and a wild wallop. lie
is never sure of hitting anything un
til ho gets hold with one hand so that
his victim cannot move out of the way.
As Wills is best of the Negroes, so
Miske is best of the whiles. It would
not bo fair to roast Dempsey for pass
ing up u man he knocked out so es>i,ly
the last timo they met. On the face nf
things Dempsey deserves credit for
loaving the man frcjnu St. Paul alone.
Yet it is a well-known fact that Miske
is the best of tho white contenders. It
nl*o is a fact that toe twice went the
full distance with Dempsiey and that.
Ive was a rick man at tho timo Dempsey
knocked him out. Today Miske is
a far better figlitor than ho wns when
he stood Dempsey off in a 10 and a six
round bout."
Yet Dempsey has announced that ho
is going to Europe to find action. Why
does ho run away from American
shores where fro can got nil the action
he wants. Some arc so hold as to say
that Dempsey knows what ho would ho
taking to great, a chance at looking
the title if he went (into the ring wTit.li'
either Will's or Miskc and therefore ho
does not desire any real American not
ion, especially with Wills or Miske.
DenipBoy and his willy manager, Jack
Kearns arc after the money?Public be
damned?and they are about cocksure
tlmt either Wills or Miske might
land a few wallops and put them out
of the money. So tlhey continue to
llllllt fnr ? ? ?1?
in umur i'j gumer in
the shekels.
The American public is growing: tore<l
of tlijs clap-trnp and dodging tactics
of the money-hounds and will
eventually force the champion to ccfrne
out in the open and fight some worthy
opponent.
NEW PARTY NOMINATIONS FOh

The announcement given out today!

ITeadquartors, lf> East -10th street, I
New York City, that New Party Sena-j
atorial Congressional and State tickets
have already been nominated Jin a;
number of the western states as a pre,
liminary to tho 102-1 Presidential olcc
lion, has caused considerable consternation
in Republican and Democratic',
ei rc-les. j
The frank admissions which have
recent Jy appeared lin the "Saturday;
Evening Post." "Tho Nation," and .
many of our metropolitan dailfies to
tho effect that, the voters are ready and
"lger to rally to the support of the ,
New Party movement and that the 1
old prxnties must go, have added to
their discomfiture.
These now tlickets, have., moreover
been unanimously endorsed by tho^
Non-Partisan League and the local,
labor organizations. ?
In Idaho the Now Progressive Party
tickot is headed by Henry F. Samuels
for Governor and W. W. Deal and
Dow Dunning for Congress. In this
state tire/Republican machine whioh is
thoroughly antagonistic to Senator
DoraK recently succeeded in repealing
the primary low and reestablish
Ing the convontion system. It ip frank
ly admitted that under these circumstances
Senator Borah cannot expect
to receive a re-nominalttion, and this
question will bo the crucial issue in
Idaho this year. The Progressive Party
stands squarely for re-establish,lug
tho Primary; the Republican Party
is unalterably opposed to so doing. >
In Nobraska tho New Progressive,
Party In consultation wWh the Non-.
partisan League and I/abor ofrganitza

nomination) for Lieut. Governor.
It is expected that this ticket win

| In South Dakota, the Liberal Party
has joined forces with the Non-parti[

on the ballot, and havo nominated a
fuljl tiekot headed by Alice L>orraluo
Daly lor Governor and O. L. Ilasvold,
A. F. Lockhart, and George H. Smith
for Congress. This ticket has also

In North Dakota the liberal Pari>

been nomjimted, headed by Lynn .1.
Frazier has just dofoated tho present
incumbent Sonator MoCumbor in tho

a Campaign Committee to raise tho
necessary funds to insure tlicitr suc|

I The neccessity of electing to office

seated by theso nominees will be ap
parent to you.
They are opposed by the reactionary
interests who seem to have unlim

Nevertheless, a reasonable amount
of out*$de financial support legitimate
ly expended and judljciously applied
with which to supplement the local
contributions m theso particular
states will .insure therir election.
Under these circumstances I have
no hesitation in urging you torcontrlbut
towards this purpose as liberally
as po^iibtle.
Money ?8 being ralse<l not only In
tho states above mentioned but all
through the East, to (insure the election
of those cnadrtdates, and a staff of

On Juno 6th, up to which time tlioj

ng him to r< ommend the necessary
Bgmiattvo action. I
On July 25th the Borah BiJU, which
