Progressives Control Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 21.-Pro-
gressive republicans won a substantial
victory in the republican state con-
vention, which concluded its sessions
here tonight, by the selection of a full
state ticket. In one of the sharpest
fights in the history of the party in
this state, they prevented the adoption
of a resolution condemning the initia-
siVe and referendum, secured instead
q plank favoring its submission to the
people, and thus paved the way for the
nomination for governor Of State Sen
ator John 3. Stephen.
Senator Guggenheim was commended
for his work in congress relating TO
the upbuilding Of the state.
The extreme progressive wing of the
party, under the leadership Of Merle
D. Vincent. who is credited with the in
dorsement Of Theodore Roosevelt, Of
fered a minority report striking out the
Endorsement Of Guggenheim, but this
minority report was tabled. and the
milder one dealing only with the ini-
uative and referendum was adopted.
Nincents independent campaign for
the gubernatOrial nomination also went
Up in smoke, the vote being for Ste

and then not for more than day or
two at time. I welcome my op-
portunity to meet old friends and to

after my official duties are dis

return and spend the rest of my
life.
The distance from Pittsburg to
Cairo by way of the Ohio river is
967 miles. During the months of
February, March and April the river
is full and has a depth of certainly
for purposes of navigation. y During
the months of August, September
and October the river is low. and in
many places at low water the depth
is considerably less than six feet.
Notwithstanding the difficulties of
navigation, there is today trans
portation of freight on this river
amounting TO more than 5000, 900
tons. and in the carriage of coal the
cost per ton per mile, that is, the
cost for carrying ton of coal one
mile, is four-tenths OF mfIl--a low
er rate of transportation than is
known elsewhere in this country.
One of the great reasons for the
decrease of river transportation has
been the competition of railways
whose physical advantages have al
ready been referred TO. More than
these, traffic managers of railways
have lowered their own traffic rates
where there is water competition
until the river business has been en-
tirely discouraged, and then raised
the rates when the river business
has been thus suppressed.
Provision has been made in the
railway act passed at the last ses
sion of congress which will prevent
railways from adopting this device
of destroying river competition.
We have reached new epoch in
the matter of Improvement of our
waterways. The public is greatly
aroused by the confident and just
belief that by a more symmetrical,
seasonable and prompt expenditure

would make him the property of the
San Francisco club. Practically every
ball player signed by the club since it
came into the fold became the property
of the club,
But Mitchell will have none of this.
For more than an hour Long tried
to argue with him at the Hotel Manx.
But it was all to no effect. He would
not consent to pitch any more games
for San Francisco unless Long prom
ised to erase from his contract that
clause which makes him the chattel OF
the San Francisco team.
Long promised to fix the matter up
with Cal Ewing, and until he gave
"Mitchell' this promise. the latter said
that he would pitch no more ball Tor
the club Incidentally, the man of
mystery compelled the manager to give
him a handsome bonus before he gave
his promise to pitch yesterday.
II have been a big card out here,
said Mitchell" Il have been draw
ing hundreds of dollars that you would
not have had in the box office without
me. Therefore, | must have a bonus
before / will pitch today"
According to the best information
obtainable, Mitchell got his bonus. Ii
is not known whether or not Mitch
ellis" contract has yet been fixed UP
to his own satisfaction, but unless the
changes are made within the next few
days the chances are that he will leave
the club in just as mysterious a man
ner as he Joined it.
HAS 1T ON TEAMMATES
To. several of his friends he de-
clared positively that he did not in
ttend to become the chattel of the Seals.
He said that his contract must expire
at the end of the present season. Then
if he cares about pitching for San
Francisco again he can renew his
agreement, but on the other hand If he
sees fit to go elsewhere, he will be free
to do So
Thus he will have it on his team
mates. They all belong to the club
which they are playing for. and they
can be disposed of as the management
sees fit. no matter whether they like
il or not.

This strong statement, coming from
the manager of the team which has a
grand lighting chance for the pennant,
is proof conclusive that Long knows a
whole lot about the mysterious pitcher
1t also does much toward showing that
Mitchell is not Walker. the former coll
Iege pitcher tried out by New York.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable, Walker is under contract to
one of the clubs of the New York state
league. If this be true. he is not ELI

the New York state league is governed
