Now that the routine of school has been established and students have settled themselves to the year's work, athletics are. being talked and foot ball and basketball teams will prob-/ ably be organized next week.

Biggs, director of athletics, Is anxious for the young men to come in for training. "The boys will have hardened muscles and that is all,'' said Mr. Biggs, "and it will be necessary for considerable training to put them in shape to play football and basketball. 'We have the material for making a good team this year but will be a little late in starting. Interest in the games this year, however, will add zest to the training, and we will make up for lost time when we do get started."

And to rent a room, or house, there's no better way than. a WANT-AD. -U- j? -RECORB: Anxiety and over zealousness on the part of self appointed state leaders of a third party state movement for a third state ticket, caused them to break precedent in all political his tory and conventions, by nominating a state ticket, without the consent of the nominees, and thus bring it about that, so fiar as a third state ticket is concerned, there is none, unless the candidates renounce allegiance to the Republican state ticket and join the corps of self appointed state leaders. The mistake in nominating all the' candidates oh the Progressive Repub lican ticket, with the exception of governor and commissioner of agricul ture and labor, without their hosts, places the executive committee of the state central committee, assisted by Chairman Dorr H. Carroll, in the po sition of attempting to force these candidates off the Republican ticket, if their action is really a mistake. The most charitable view assumed by those opposed to a third state ticket is to call it a "mistake" and give the self appointed leaders the benefit of the doubt as to their political acumen, sound judgment and ability to conduct' a convention. Wanted Presidential Electors. Delegates to the state convention as sert they attended for the purpose of selecting Roosevelt presidential elec tors, and not to place a third ticket in the field. If the law is adhered to and the candidates on the Republican ticket do not withdraw to accept the nomination of the third party state ticket, theer can be no third state tick et in the field unless another conven tion is called, or the executive com mittee, assisted by Mr. Carroll, nomi nates a ticket in the same manner they nominated a candidate for gov ernor. One delegate in the convention raised the point that the law provides that candidates' names may appear only on one ticket. He was hushed by the chair and told that if they did not accept others could be appointed who would. That ended the matter and the convention took no action to delegate the power to fill vacancies to the state central committee, or the executive committee of the state cen tral committee, assisted by Mr. Car roll. ,The adoption of the resolution authorizing the committee, assisted by Mr. Carroll, to name a candidate for the office of commissioner of agricul ture and labor, is pointed out by dele gates to the convention, that it was uot to the sense of the meeting to al low these self appointed leaders to name an entire ticket. Otherwise, the convention would have closed with the election of Roosevelt presidential elec tors. More of the QUESTION IS TO EXISTANCE OF THIRD STATE TICKET NOW TttfflS, Unless Candidates On Republican Tictttt Refuse To Serve Party and Accept Nominations There Will Be Many Vacancies. Mix. No one is absolutely accusing the executive committee, assisted by Mr. Carroll, of deliberately intending to defraud the delegates by knowingly usurping authority not granted them to name a candidate for governor and an entire state ticket, but the conven tion has turned out that way. The law says: CANDIDATES ARE SATISFIED. Candidates for prizes in the Times Record's subscription contest, which closed last Saturday evening, have ex pressed their entire satisfaction with the manner in which the big campaign was conducted. Just prior to the close of the con test, the following certificate was vol untarily signed by the various con testants, indicating their good faith in thie contest, and- their satisfaction with the methods of the Times-Record in putting it on: We, the undersigned candidates do hereby certify that all subscriptions turned in by us are bona fide that we have seen the prizes which are on ex hibition, and that they are exactly as advertised also that the .number of votes set opposite our names was to the best of our knowledge correct.

Chase Annie Brown Martha Wilberg., s, A It is presumed that the self appoint ed leaders knew the law at the time of the convention. In fact, the atten tion of ,the chair was called to the pro vision of the law regarding candidates' names appearing on more than one ticket on the ballot. The fact that this point of law was raised and the con vention took no action to authorize the committee, assisted by Mr. Car roll, to appoint a candidate for gov ernor in place of Dr. Creegan, and a Whole state ticket should the Republi can candidates refuse to withdraw and join the self appointed leaders of the third state party movement, and the resolution limiting the committee to the appointment of a candidate for commissioner of agriculture and labor,, is considered coroborative evidence that the convention did not intend to confer such sweeping powers as has been assumed and will be assumed un les there is a wholesale desertion from the Republican state ticket Capital of $340,000 In Incorporations SECRETARY OF STATE'S REPORT SHOWS MANY NEW BUSINESS FIRMS THIS MONTH.
