.DALRYMPLE MEN
SAY GUARDIANSHIP
IS TWO-YEAR TERM
Declare Former Senator Colby's
Contention That Election Must
Be Annual Is Faulty.

Dalrymple men are denying today
that the contention of former Senator
Everett Colby that county committee
men and chairman of the committee
must be elected annually will hold
water From the law itself, they admit,
a conclusion might be drawn that such
condition could exist but under the
decision of Justice Swayze the two-year
term continues. as of old.
The section of the law referred too by
Colby readslas follows:
And the county chairman of each
county committee shall, On or before the
first day of July in each year, fi1e with
the clerks OF the Several municipalities
the number OF committeeman to be
elected IN each year as provided by the
constitution or bylaws of such COM
mittee."
The constitution of the Essex County
Committee provides for election every
two years. The Dalrymple men contend
that If it were not the intention OF the
passers Of the law to continue the old
custom the last clause would have been
omitted. The each year. they say,
refers to the year when, under the COM
mittee constitution, the election should
be held The Swayze decision, they
hold, simply means that the constitu-
tion may not be changed so that a man
may be elected for a long term or for
life. As long as the term is reasonable
they believe the decision uphols their
claims. Most of them are willing to let
the matter rest for the present and only
take it up when the time for action
comes.
Irregular" Discusses Contest.
"Dal had the votes, that's all there
was to it, said a well-known Regular
today, speaking of Fridays election.
Major Lentz has no reason to raise
a cry at the way he was treated.
"In the first place, the major re-
signed the Craftsmanship. If he had
been beaten out of it four years ago
it might have been different this time.
The members might have felt then that
he had been unjustly treated and had
gone down fighting. But when he gave
it up of his own accord they regarded
him as out of politics, and naturally
turned to the new leader. What if he
did give q man a job ten years ago?
That man stuck to him as long as it
would do any good to kick: then of
course, he went ON a new tack.
Even at the last moment good
many waited to see whether the major
had a chance or not before voting
against him. When the vote for tenn
porary chairman was taken and it was
seen that the New Idea people and the
Lentz men together only mustered 80
votes, every one knew that the major
did not have a chance, and went over

WHEN BASEBALL TEAMS
FAIL To WIN GAMES
(RN Tim iMmrnanc }

Boston, July l0-Now come the
long days of bitter disappointments.
Starting out with what looked on pa
per as the greatest ball team ever the
dope has gone wrong. and already
teams arc being ripped up. Managers
have lost their standing in the COM
munity until good players have grown
careless, and the fans are bowling un-
I'll the newspapers consider il the
proper thing to complain of the local
condition and enthuse over the fine
work of the lucky leaders.
The most difficult problem today
before the big and little leagues alike
Is TO keep the teams evenly matched,
and this is mucn easier in the minor
than in the major leagues.
The minors can continually strength
en- the weak teams with the boys
who were few chips Sny of the real
thing in major league company, while
the major league teams find it almost
impossible TO collect team of play
ers capable of keeping in'ethe front
row once they have lost the knack of
FIGHTING for the lead.
There are times when a fine ball
team will 60 TO the bad for the lack Of
heart. brought about by outsiders.
while. on the other hand. ordinary
bail teams will be often found right
in the hunt as the result of encour-
agement and good habits. The most
natural thing In the world is for
team running against hard luck and
unjust criticism TO fall by the way
side, as the result OF some few mem
bers Of the team showing diSposi-
tlon to dissipate, thereby losing in
terest In their work and aching to
move on to some other city, 10 even
tually find the same conditions exist
ing there. I believe Boston is the
one exception to this rule, with Wash
ington fairly so, as the result of a
wandering population, willing to stand
for a second division club at all times
Once a ball team has made good
flgdt for a championship the fans are
not satisfied with anything less than
a winner, Year after year the pro-
gress Of some team is handicapped by
serious injuries to some of the best
players, and so evenly are the great
teams matched in playing talent that
the loss OF one good man will reduce
the playing strength fully IS per cent.
and this will throw winning team
into the losing column

SIOUX CONSOLIDATED
is IN NEW ORE BODY

Salt Lake, July 9.-Reports from
Tintic this morning were to the et-
feet that the Sioux Consolidated has
struck another rich body of ore and
at greater depth than ever before.
1t is said that the company has up
to short time ago been working on
the i00-foot level. When the new
compressor was put In, it was decided
to send the shaft deeper in hopes Of
getting more ore than that already
blocked out In the present ore body.
The shaft was sent down 80 feet and
drifting was started The drift had
only advanced a few feet when 1t is
asserted that the new ore body was
encountered.
Definite information as to the eX-
tent OF the strike has not been given
out. but il is generally understood that
It speaks well of the future Of the
property.
The finding OF the new ore body
means much to the Colorado and Iron
Blossom properties which are along
the same ore zone. The strike. it Is
asserted. practically assures the COM
pany of getting much more ore at
depth.
