Judge Willis not only sustained demur-
rers filed by attorneys for Borton and
Maggert, but held that defects in the
indictments could not be cured by a
re-submission Of the matter to the Los
Angeles county grand jury.
This was said to mean the end Of the
case. so far as any criminal prosecu-
ton was concerned. the dismissal of
the charges against the fuor accused
men.
Judge Willis said the players in sign
ing contracts with the teams had enter
ed into an agreement to play base ball
to the best of their ability. But, he con-
tinued. admitting they had not done So,
their act amounted only to breach
of civil contract, which, he said, was in

Judge Willis declared that the action
Of the men, II they were guilty, was
reprehensible. but there was no remedy
along the lines Of criminal prosecution.

FRANK w.

For Representative IN Congress.
Wyomings lone Representative in Congress, Hon. Frank w.
Mondel, is recognized throughout the United States as being one
of the biggest and best informed men in the country. Wyoming
has the distinction of leading all other states in national legisa-
ton because of the fact that our Congressman occupies the po-
sltlon of Republican Floor Leader in the House of Representa-
tives and for this reason is the leader of the majority party in
Congress. Never before has it happened in the history of the
United States that a state with but one Representative has the
distinction of being in the lead Of all other states.
During his many years in Congress our beloved representa-
tive, Hon. Frank w. Mondell. has been a champion for Wyoming
and the West. Itis through his effort that so much beneficial land
legislation has been placed on the statute books and through his
efforts that the homesteader and rancher now occupies the place
he does.
Never, during his service in Congress, has a resident of
Wyoming asked Mr.. Mondell to do anything for him and asked
in vain. Congressman Mondell is truly a representative of the
people of Wyoming and that his worth to the state is realized by
a great majority of the voters is proven by the fact that at every
election he is re elected by an overwhelming majority.
On November End Congressman Mondell will be returned to
Congress by the biggest majority he has ever received in Wyom-
ing.
