The management of the Richmond
team is in receipt of letter from
william II. Steiner, a pitcher who was
with Danville during the season of
1908, requesting that he be given a
try-out for a position on the staff of
the Colts mound artists.
In his letter Steiner states that in
the season he played with Danville

mond and won five of them. He says
that he played independent ball last
year and had a most successful sea-
son. pitching 10 games, winning 16,
tying and losing 1. This one game.

Steiner has been referred to Man.

large staff of pitching material. it Is
thought that there will not be room
for any more. Steiner is remember

GUGGENHEIMERs IN
DESPERATE STRAITS.
Are oIsorgsnized and See no Chance
Of Success This Fall.

| DENVER, COLO, June 22.-The
sheer desperation of the rapidly thin
ming ranks of the Guggenhe.mers is
splendidly illustrated by an alleged
expose" promulgated last week by
the Republican press bureau and the
Pueblo Chieftain, claiming a Demo-

Will The prelude recites an alleg-
ed deal to elect Chas. j. Hughes
senator two years ago, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he was designated
as the state conventions choice and
was practically a candidate on the
ticket with other state candidates.
Under the impression that the peo-
pie at large are fools and cannot
remember important happenings of a
few months ago, this alleged news
bureau recounts the great conspir-
acy OF 1908, and issues an awful
warning of another deep plot, even
more terrible and deadly than nam
ing United States senator in open
convention. The diabolical scheme
as outlined by this great buncombe
factory is said to include:
"The postponement of the calling
Of the extra session by the governor
until too late to have the work eff
fective this fall.
"The submission of initiative, re-
ferendum and recall amendments, if
the Republican legislators vote for
these amendments, but with the un-
dertaking that the Democratic coun-
ty officials will kill them at the
polls
''It also includes the enactment of
railroad and bank laws satisfactory
to the railroads and banks and the
passing of primary law either with
convention feature, or with a pro-
viso that primaries must poll a cer-
tain per cent of votes in the pre-
cinct. the per cent being so high that
it will never be polled."
Another scandalous feature of this
contemplated wholesale outrage is
that Colorado is to contribute her
share toward making the house of
representatives at Washington Demo-
cratic"

be the crowning act of political skull.

The Guggenheimers are in desper.
ate straits. A few followers of the
little statesman" will have to vote
with the Democrats in the extra
session in order to make the neces
sary two-thirds majority to submit
the initiative, referendum and recall.
If they don't do it they will be prop
erly and everlastingly damned and
the Republican party will not get
another look-in for years. If they
do vote as they are bound to in JUS
tice to their constituents, they have
assisted in legislation for which a
Democratic administration will Just
ly receive credit. And to think that
the Pueblo Chieftain, whose owner
has for years posed as great re-
former, should now be frantically as.
sisting villainous coterie of politi-
cal pirates in a fruitless attempt to
block legislation the passage of which
will put all future lawmaking abso-
lutely in the hands of the people.
But when John Springer can stand
before an audience and smooth the
way for sending Simon Guggenheim
back to the United States senate,
what can be expected of Ikey Stev-
ems?
If the initiative, referendum and re-
call constitutional amendments are
not submitted by the extra session,
to be voted on by the people next
November. the blame will rest sole
ly upon the manipulators of a cor
rupt and desperate Republican ma.
chine.
AS for the idiotic assertion that
the Democratic legislature will pass
a railroad bill prepared or sanction.
ed by the railroads, glance at the
corporation assessments decided upon
by the state board of equalization
few days ago ought to be sufficient
answer.
In truth. the disrupted Guggen

to stand on, and are in such bad re
