Monday «>n ' e«|( rdav a ftei noon. In
the ninth inning It looked as if Mine
field would pull together and pluck
a • -cond victory from the Tennesse
“tis tint the hope- of tlie Minefield
looters were not realised. tlie singles

Johnson City's five scores, Anderson's
error was oven more fatal. In the
second inning Anderson let a hall
g. t through and the runner went to
tliiid w hen he should have heen stop
ped at the* initial sin k. However,
We all know that even the best play
ers have off day mil we look for
Shorty to redeem himself ill the next
game
The Teiiur ",,ns secured eleven
liils Oil' of Steele, Imt after the see
«»in| Inning they were well mattered
Minefield straightened out seven of
Wallis'-, benders, but not being able
to buni b them at criticul times count
ed but twice in tb - nine Innings
In the third Inning some good ball
placing was seen when Leonard lilt
•ate and Hrcvard and Man each Re
ctired a sacrifice hit, retiring the run
ner.
That both pitchers wore up against
heavy hatters is evidenced by tin* fact
that etii h pitcher has hut four strike
outs to his cr dlt. From a spectators
point oT view It was a good game and
all should sec to-morrows gane* it
good tinse ball Is what they want to

It would he practically Impossible

never been an exception to the oceur
rence that when a political party in

VVe niusl at the proper time, how

This authoritative statement, no

Speaker Cannon and President Koose

(Special to the Dally Deader |
W %SHIN(JTO\, A tut- 14. The
eltHtion of rutted States Senator b>
the legislatures of the states has be
couio a thing of tin1 past la a num
ber of the Important state's of tin*
Du Ion. The legislatures of these
states now merely ratify the choice
of the voters in open primary elec
tloua. The politicians iin* watching
this departure rrom the old mnchlue
plan with considerable Interest and
"one Minecheuslon. for all thy old
plans of fixing caucuses uud conven
tions arc* useless sad the appeal must
be mad*' directly to tin* parly voters.
The nomination of Senator Ollloni,
of Illinois^ has Just been made under
this new plan and the rutlfli*atloii or
bis acts nH Senator was almost en
tirely due to his consistent support of
lhe railroad rate bill In Its most
radical form.
I ’edit Iciuus here are wondering
what would la* the lestilt 0f such a
primary election In other states, and
WeHf Virginia Is often cited as one
that might discard Its Senator IT the*
republican voter* had the opportu
nity Of voting directly on that issue.
Senator Elkins, unlike Senator Oil
mmii, was ,iii open railroad svinpal hl
*er hi all times ami continued ho
until lie discovered that the modified
railroad rate would pans both I louses
of Congress Kven then Senator Ki
lt Ins was hand and glove with Sena
tor Aldrich, who Is noted as tin*
representative of the Rockefeller
corporation and trust Interests to
embarrass the passage of the meas
ure by amending or defeating Its
most important clauses No one In
Washington believes lie (la.illy voted
or the hill because he wanted to see
t a law, hat because |t was a o »llt
ical necessity for him to vote for It
•p Have his face with hlv comoou
‘ nts. The whole city was laughing at
ils political Ht|iilrming and the ni||.
road men were Haying "KillIns had
‘o dn it." The true position of .ten
jCoj Klklns on railroad leglslatl ei
Is shown by the clause in tin* anil
•cliHte law, which exempts railroad
oft i lals convicted of rebating from
'incoming .'ilmlnully liable and the
fort that some of the railroads, whlcu
save alien ]y been convicted -ind
lined for rehatlng would now ho see
ing their officers In stripes hut for
the kindly aid of Senator Klklns
V fine. If a large is hut of little tron
He for a great corporation to pav.
luit a railroad president In jail would
lead to a general exodus of railroad
officials to foreign climes, to escape
hiicIi a {degradation.
The defeat of Secretary Shaw in
his contest, to prevent the nomination
of Gov Cummins in Iowa Is another
evidence of the way republicans and
democrats feel on Ibis railroad Issue.
A letter from Mr W, F. Illll, edi
tor of the Mills County Tribune,
published at Glenwood, Iowa, to a
newspaper correspondent in this city
“aid: "Secretary Shaw spoke at a
Chautauqua here July 17 to an au
dience of nearly f»,u00. The audience
was gathered to honor him as a na
imiifii r 11hinr i«• i , |»ut wiiH greatly dis
appointed at his address. He Ik evi
dently not In touc h with our people,
and republicans even more than deni
oeratt* complained He lauded the
senate* as being a beneficent organi
zation, instilled the wnterlng of iail
road values as being the same thing
as in Increase In farm values and
praised Steve Klklns by name There
was no applause, end If he bad gone
further the disapproval of the* au
dience* would have been made mani
fest It was a frost.”
So the* disc reelited Shaw Is adver
tising Senator Klklns as one or the
boss railroad slork watorers and
plaining him for so doing Shaw
before the Iowa convention effectual
ly repudiated him, even to the point
of hissing him off the stage, had the
presidential hee buzzing fnrlouslj
and expected Klklns tec deliver the
West Virginia deb-gat Ion bound hand
and foot to vote for him •Jhat little
game is spoiled by the* action of tip
Iowa republicans, but the West Vlr
ginla republicans will have to sit ii|
and take notice*, or they will be flying
• h»* Klklns kite for another candidate
for president.
Our city people who rannot get
away to spend thp summer recreatim
arc* now having a big time in watch
ing the exciting games of base ha I
which wc enjoy every day. There It
really no reason to go away fron
Blueflelel during the hot season foi
we have a regular summer rexoi
light here at home all the time an
way.
