Baldwin Attacks Governor
Representative Richard ]. Baldwin,
candidate for speaker against the
Governors choice, made an attack on
the Governor in the shape of signed
statement taking him to task for a
veto.
Il was very much surprised to see
the statement in the newspapers as
coming from the Governor that he is
opposed to capital punishment for the
reason that during the last session of
the Legislature he vetoed a bill that
would have virtually done away with
this" said Mr.. Baldwin. Its passage
was largely due to my efforts. The
bill left s1oethe jury in a murder case
to detefS 1npT whether the sentence
shouldSBaszsffe Imprisonment or not
and in this naturally meant the aboli-
ton of capital punishment in Penn
sylvanias But Governor BrumbauSh
vetoed The bill when it came before
him and now at this late date he is
declaring Against capital punishment.
a similar bill will be presented to the
next assembly and l hope the eXecu-
tive will again reverse himself"
Mr.. Baldwin declared that he had
been visited by some members of the
Legislature who had visited the Gov
ernor and that they had assured him
they would vote for Baldwin. He said
he expected TO see more.

We Still Have a Chance.

Chambersburg gave our pennant
hopes a rude jolt in Crabtown Friday
afternoon. when the Maroons took
both ends of double-header from the
over-anxious Mountaineers The first
game belonged by all the laws of base
ball to the Maroons, who outplayed
rs, but the second was thrown away
by Martinsburg on errors at critical
times
The biggest crowd of the season in
this circuit saw the contests, and the
home contingent whooped for JOY
when the Maroous took our measure
in both games The Martinsburs us
itors were a saddened bunch
These games were the crucial ones
in the penuant race, and it would now
seem that Chambersburg must win
Each team has three games yet TO
play. and Martinsburg's only chance
is to win all three. while Chambers
burg is losing her three. While this,
Of course, is possible, it is not likely
Still, it is chance. and we will
hope for the best until the end. We
play Chambersburg again this after
noon and wind up here Monday with
two games with Hanover. Cham.
bersburg goes to Frederick for two
games Monday. Stranger things have
happened in base ball than Martins
burg winning three in a row while
Chambersburg is losing three. Fred
erck has been a hard nut for Cham
bersburg to crack, while Hanover has
been rather easy for us. Everything
however, is predicated upon the same
