Representative Whitaker of Benton
is a native of Switzerland and speaks
the German language fluently. In an
interview with the Corvallis Times
he gave clear statement from a
PopuliSt standpoint:
"There are solid twenty-four,
composed of PopulistS, Democrats and
silver Republicans who do not propose
to yield, and these are assisted in the
speakership strategem by several
Simon Republicans. The twenty
four" are convinced that the plans
have all been laid for a renewal at
this session of the prodigal and eX-
traYagant legislation that ran riot at
the last session. They hold that the
1nly way to defeat it, is for them to
gain control of the house, capture the
important committees and gain for
themselves the same control OF the
ituation after organization that they
low hold before the organization. |
The deadlock will end when either |
he Mitchell wing or the Simon wing
I the Republicans capitualate and 60 |
D with them for wholesome and |
economical legislation, land not before.
his is the explanation the obstruct-
Dnists give for their attitude in
olding out against house organiza-
on.

SON of Mr. and Mrs Fales, testified that
his father had said II Will go TO jail be-
fore / give my wife any more money.
Shortly after that Mr. fales left the city
and was gone nine weeks. Today he had
no attorney and the court advised him to
get one, but when he approached IA couple
of members of the bar the latter were too
busy. They had also heard enough of the
case to Judge that IL would be apt To 90
hard with Mr.. Falcs.
