No Ball Game Sunday

To the intense disappointment of the
trainload of baseball enthusiasts who
went down to Las Animas last Sunday
there was no game because of the storm
that visited this section of the Arkansas
Valley.
It was necessary to call the game dur
ing the second innings and when Jupiter
Pluvius had finished his turn at bat the
grounds were in no condition to continue
ball playing. And perhaps it was Just as
well for the local bunch as the score stood
to in favor of Las Animas when the
game was called.

On Saturday evening Harry
Swink, proprietor of the pool hall

by Marshal Tinsley upon war
rant charging him with selling in
toxicating liquor, and he is now at
large under bonds of S400 for his
appearance to answer the charge
on Monday next.
Some weeks ago, as readers of
The Enterprise will remember, a
visit was made by the mayor and
other officials to the several pool
halls of the city, and samples of
the drinks served were taken for
analysis.
At the Swink place, it is re-
ported, the officials found barrel
bearing "near beer" label, while
nearby we're some unlabeled bar
rels filled with what the dealer de-
clared was exactly the same bever-

the labels being that the manufac-
turers charged considerable more

PARTY

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, has out
lined in part the reform plans of the
so-called Cancellation committee of
Republicans and Progressives, which
hopes to bring about the holding of n
national Republican convention early
in 1914.
The change in the representation of
southern states in the national conven-
tion is a secondary matter in the pro-
gram of the committee. With the
added support of many Republican
leaders who did not participate in the
"get-together' conference in Chicago
last spring, they will insist that the
control of the Republican National
committee over seating of delegates in
a national convention be abolished.
"The chief issue in this fight says
Senator Cummins, lis that involving
the method of selecting and seating
delegates in the national convention
that dominates the Republican presi-
Dental and vice-presidential candi-
dates. We shall insist that the present
rules be so modified and reconstructed
that the Republican National commit
tee will no longer have the power to
make up a temporary roll of delegates
or to pass on the credentials of state
delegates before they are seated in the
convention.
"Where states have primary laws
that govern the election of delegates
it will be an easy matter to provide
by a party rule that the certificates
issued by local election officials shall
be final evidence emitting the dele
gates to seats in the convention.
Where such laws do not exist, how
ever, l believe that Republican author
tiles in each state, either the state
committee OF d special board, should
pass On all contests and settle the
eligibility of delegates before they go
to the national conventions.
"We shall insist that some such
change as this be made, so that the
Republican National committee in the
future will not have the power tenn
porarily to eat contested or contest
ing delegations, and thus virtually de-
termine the control of the national
convention.
"This question, together with the
proposal that members of the National
committee, shall take Office as soon as
elected, instead of leaving the control
of the National committee in the old
committees hands throughout the
campaign, we believe to be the chief
matters of reform that must be dealt
with through a special national con
vention."
