Jackson, Sept. %. There have
been several rather perplexing ques-
tions sprung in relation to the new
primary election law since the e'ec-
tions of August and 81. One of the
most recent of these to attract special
attention is the contest of Z. G. Rob-
inson for the nomination of treasurer
of Tuniea county after III. L. Tucker
had been declared the nominee by the
executive committee of the county.
The contest is based on the fact that
: Tucker was a member OF the execu-
tive committee and the claim is made
that this disqualified him as candi-
date because it was the duty of the
executive committee TO receive and
pass upon the returns of the election.
as we'll as to arrange all matters in
regard to the holding of the election.
The supreme court, in view of the
importance of the case, has agreed to
the very unusual proposal to hear
mandamus proceedings in the case
during vacation, and several promi-
nent LAWYERS of tie state are here for
the purpose OF representing one or the
other Of the parties in the, matter at
issue.

under peculiar circumstances. Judge
NJ. Fl. Wilkinson, presiding, who was
recently appointed, was candidate
for district attorney in the primaries
and was defeated, his own county,
Amite, going against him because OF
his antagonism of the white cap ele-
ment, and for this reason, SAYS
the Fayetville Chronicle, the present

because several cases of this class of
lawbreakers will be brought before
him for trial.

MuItnomah and Astoria CONNER
cial to Try Conclusions at
A. F. c. Park.
FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Visitors Will Outweigh Locals,
but Latter Depend on Team
Work to Secure
Victory.

| to form for the hard game with Nut
nomah tomorrow afternoon at A. F..
G. park. The men are thoroughly well
of their bruises received in the vancou-
yer game, and will be in the pink Of
condition tomorrow. The practice this
week has been fast and hard, the men
lining up practically the same as when
they played Vancouver. They are
quickly learning the new plays and are
working with energy and enthusiasm.
They realize that tomorrow's game
means much to them, it being the first
time they have played team with
such a reputation, and they have re-
solved that, If Multnomah wins, 1t will
be after the hardest game they can
play. l@t fH
If the weather Is favorable a large
crowd of supporters will attend, for
never before has a game created SO
much interest in this city. Football
is on every persons lips, and those who
never attended a game will go for no
other reason than to see the much
heralded Multnomah team and its star
players. Multnomah has a reputation,
holding the championship of the north
west, and having been beaten on the
coast only by the Stanford team by
close score; and, while the Astoria
team will not be as heavy, still the men
are all athlets and their team work
has won every game thus far this sea-
son. Team work wins more games than
individual playing, and, while no one.
man can be picked as better than an
other their work as a team has been
very satisfactory to the coach.
Another noticeable feature Of their
ulaying is the cleaness and lack OF
wrangling. Clean football has been
their aim, and foul and unfair tactics
have been entirely eliminated. They
are using a style of play known as the
Princeton style, which has never been
seen on the coast, the Yale style being
used almost exclusively They use the
defense. and their offense is more of
an open style than is the Yale defense,
which is composed mostly of mass
plays. Astoria will use line bucks, but
not the mass formations, and will re-
sort mostly to plays over tackle. AS
toria uses every man to carry the ball,
guards, tackles and ends, as well as the
backs, and all are good ground gamers.
Multnomah will have the advantage
in weight. Astoria's average weight
is 1865, divided among the players as
follows: Bay, IT'S; Gammal, 205; Cod
dard, 40; Sutton, III; Painter, 1852;
Trullinger, 161; Stockton, 142; Barker,
1865; Graham, 1856; Abercrombie, 17S.
DR.. Regan will referee for Astoria,
and Dr.. Tom Ross will umpire, he hav-
ing refused to play against Astoria,
his home city! S. P. Wilson will be
head llnesman and timekeeper. The
field will be properly patroled and none
will be allowed within the sidelines. so
everybody will have a chance to see the
game. At 2:SO sharp the game will
commence. The best wishes of local
lovers of the sport are with the home
team, which has worked faithfully to
make a good showing for its town.
