ROsemount, Esopus n. y, Aug. 10.
Confronted by the seemingly unes-
capable necessity of making known
further and more detailed views of
the issues of the campaign before
election day, Judge Parker is seeking
the best method OF making these
vieWs publicly known. He has not
changed his mind about the inexpe
diency of a hippodrome campaign
and he will not swing around the
circle
He realizes. however, that many
questions will need to be answered
and many false impressions correct
ed in the public mind before Novem-
Der s. He has considered carefully
the method inaugurated by the late
President Mckinley. by which the
former president gained the peoples
ear through speeches from his front
porch to visiting delegations, Except
in cases of extreme necessity, Judge
Parker will not adopt this plan.

POST
OFFICE
ROBBERS
two Men Arrested for Blow
Ing up Safe at WOodburn

P. Ranhan and William Powell were
arrested last evening by Marshal
Beach, of woodburn, charged with
the crime Of robbing the postofice
at that place on April 9th. The pris-
oners were brought to this city and
confined in the county jail, where they
will be kept until tomorrow, when
they will be taken to woodburn for
their preliminary examination.
Powell is an old man, perhaps 65
years of age, and is quite gray. He
is almost literally covered with tat
too marks, his breast, neck and arms
carrying India ink marks made in
1875. He was formerly sailor, he
claims, and later a fisherman at AS
toria. He has been on protracted
spree for several days, and was in
very poor condition to talk this
morning. He has lived near Hubbard
for about two years, and has worked
for several farmers in that vicinity.
Ranahan has also been sailor, and
has a number of tattoo marks on his
wrists and arms, but not to such an
extent as Powell. He has only been
in th.s county for a few weeks, and
has worked for several farmers and
hop men near Woodburn and Hub
bard. When asked this morning
he knew anything about the
crime of which he was accused he
said he did not.
Il did not know what they arrested
me for last evening. We were at
Powell's house, and we're drinking
little. was getting ready to go to
work for another man, and, as l had

berry until last night, but afterwards

He denied having any partner, al
though the report is current that
Powell and Ranahan were feeding
one of the robbers in the woods, as a
result Of wound inflicted by o. D.
Henderson and John zimmerle, the
night the robbery occurred.
1t is alleged that Gates Dawes, a
neighbor Of PowelPs. has been sus-
picious Of the outfit for several
weeks, and has had his eye on them.
Last evening he overheard a drunken
conversation between the men. and
they later admitted to him that they
had committed the robbery and were
planning to blow up the Mt. Angel

Sheriff Goliath will guard the pair
very closely, as it is thought that
Ranahan is an old-timer.

CAMPAIGN
WAKING
UP SOME
County Canvass Is Beginning
to Wake up Democrats
Are Active and Making
Still Hunt Fight oft

The Democrats in Marion county
are making a still hunt campaign,
and will not spend any money on
newspapers or redhre, but Chair
man Vaughn expresses great oonf-
dence in the outcome, claiming the
election of the county judge, and two
members Of the legislature. A meet
ing was held by the Democrats last
night in the Democratic stronghold
at the erosion school house. August
Huckestein is making vigorous fight
for the legislature, and admits that
he is after Tom Kay's scalp, especial
ly, and is not trying to beat anyone
else. Some of the Democrats say
Chairman Vaughn is not making a
winning fight, and is not the right
man in the place. But indications
that come to this city from several
precincts are that Vaughn is liable to
prove a singed-cat campaigner. and
will surprise the kickers, even in his
own party. At Silverton, where he is
best known, he has been working the
street corners and back alleys in a
way that is waking up the Republi-
cans there to realization that they
have got wildcat to deal with.
The Republican Meetings.
So far as heard from the Republi-
cans have the best meetings, and the
outlook is favorable to electing their
whole ticket, if they can keep tab
on the storm center. and avoid a
landslide on any office. The biggest
meeting of the whole campaign prom
ises to be at Pratum, where there will
be basket picnic, baseball, bowery
dance, and speakers afternoon and
evening There is a whole lot of hard !
work ahead of the Republicans, and
they have not much room for SOM
nambulists on the ticket or among
the spellbinders. Some of the best /
work in the history OF the party |
should be done to roll up landslide !
that will awaken the Rooseveltian,
echoes of the whole country.
