The campaign Committee lost no time in
striking while the iren was hot. They had
been embarrassed by the fact that, while
he was making Accommodation of the trusts,
a strong featurG 81 Bis campaign, it had
leaked out that be vas the vice president
and western manager of the Tin Can trust,
as the Amertcans Canning Company is
called, and was also stockholder in other
monopolies. They prnmptly demanded his
withdrawal from the race in the interest of
the party and, although he at first strenu-
ously protested and declared his innocence
of the charges madt against him. he finally
agreed. He appeared at the headquarters
the next morning, however, and demanded
that he be allowed TO withdraw his with

Oregon officials cenyersanta with the facts
stating that the charges grew out of
business difncuity with his partner. and
there was no foundation for the criminal

mittee had taken time by the forelock and
nominated another man, Lockwood Honore
an able lawyer Of high reputation and
brother of Mrs. Potter Palmer
He was selected last Saturday morning,
and with characteristic energy began his
campaign that day. He has held two meet
ings day since, and will continue them till
election day.
The district was carried by Mckinley in
1900 by majority of 4.311, and by Yates
by a majority of 9O6 while Harrison Sc
cured majority of 1882 there last year.
Boutell has carried the district twice, but
by majorfties of a few hundred votes each
time. and his supporters are more than
fearful that Honore will beat him. handt-

Hard Fight for Foss.
The independent vote is strong in the
tenth district. The territory gave McKin-
ley majority of 6,221 and Yates ,094 but
Harrison got majority over Hanecy for
mayor there of 1888. Republicans are pre-
dieting a majority of 5000 for Congressman
George E. Foss over John J. Philbin The
latter is young real estate dealer, and
unknown to politics, but ne has made a
good impression In his campaign and has
devoted a good part of his time to de-
nunciation of the trusts and Foss hostility
to Admiral Schley In the House of Repre-
sentatives. The latter attack Is said to be
hurting Foss. as the admiral is the hero of
the great sea fight off Santiago to nearly
all Chicagoans, and many republicans have
denounced Foss vigorously for his attitude
on the Schley bills. He has more than this
to worry him, however. for the Rev M. M.
ParkhurSt, president of the Anti-Saloon
League, and a reformer of the reformers is
after his scalp. DR.. Parkhurst Is the pro-
hibitionist nominee for Congress In the dis
trict and Is making fierce fight on Foss
because of the grog that Is dispensed to the
jackies by the navy canteen He was one
of the leaders in the movement that result
ed in the adjustment of the army canteen
and he is now after the navy canteen,
which, he declares, Mr. Foss as chairman
of the naval committee, refuses to make
any effort to do away with. 1t Is not ex-
pected that he will make any great showing,
but If he gets even a few hundred votes
they will surely come from independent re-
publicans, and may defeat Foss Conserva-
tive republicans estimate his majority at
from 600 to 1000
