VIVA; do you believe was the cause Of
/ the defeat OF the Oregon rgs.onists2" was
aaked Of Lee Hart. member Of the Demo
cratic state committee yesterday.
Thought Of the Bmttieshtp.
Oregon Oregon Did you say Oregon?
Why. that's the name or vne big battleship

a 1890 mile journey without breaking a

Election when was 5hat9 Oh. the
election last Monday? Wei, you know,
I've been almost TOO busy TO read the pa
pers. Bur say. that won't have any effect
here. Seriously, there IL no getting around
the fact thar Mondays victory fer the Re
Issblieans was terror. don, know that
| expected anything else. I tell you what
Il is. the fusion boys we're not organized
like they are mere In this state don't
believe that It's an indication Of what we
may look for IN Washing on. Oregon went
for Mckinley TWO years ago and expect
cd that she would be carried by the Repub-
leans again That's all there is to IL. Im
not much disappointed.
Made "a Fatal Mistake.
The fasionists In Oregon made fatal
mistake" said Judge Richard Wlneor yes
teTday, and that was In making silver the
sole and paramount issue in the conflict
This Issue Is not one that Is before all 9th

question was certain to cause the defeat
OF the fusi0nisis In my belief. In addition
there was bad management.
How Will IL affect The election In TIM.
state? No, al all in my opinion. The re-
suits in Washington viii depend entirely
upon the conduct OF the representatives Of
the Peoples and the Democratic parties
when they meet In convention. The fC-
sfonists In Washington II they hope TO sue
coed. must be united. The reform movs-
meat must go through tine process through
which al new movements must pass, II

as those Of ship are worn away By the
action of the waters.
John Il. Fay Blames Luce.
In Oregon" said John T. Fay. prospective
candidate for United States senator. Luce
was 10 blame. He opposed the Bryan
movement tso years ago, lie was a dis.
surbing factor in the campaign OF 1896.
and he is in "a sense responsible fer the
defeat Of the Popullsts In Oregon. THIS
ard other causes brought about the de-
feat OF the fusionists. Oregon has no reg
istration laws. and there was wide oppor-
tunity for moving voters freely from place
10 place" said Mr.. Fay forgetting per-
hars. that Mayor Pennoyer and his police
force were in absolute central OF Port
land. the largest city in the state, where
the Republican triumph was greatest
