East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-22

Because the prohibitionists of Or
egon do not wish to inflict AN un-
necessary expense on the state, there
will be no local option election called
in any precinct in Oregon, until the
regular June election, to be held in
1906.
This was the decision arrived at in
conference of the local option lead
ers in Portland. Tuesday.
1t has been charged by the LIQUOR
Dealers association that the local
option people would call special cleo
tions all over the state. thus increas-
ing the burden on the taxpayer. and
causing a general decentralization of
business. This unfounded charge is
absolutely refuted in the announce
ment of the local optionists, after the
defeat of the Jayne bill and at, the
close of the legislative session, that
no election will be held until the reg
uler election in June, 1905.
One of the stock arguments of the
supporters of the Jayne bill, was that
If the 10 per cent of voters REQUIRED
on local option election petitions was
not raised to 30 or 40 per cent the
temperance people would continue to
call precinct elections in different
counties, thus piling up election ex-
penses to crafty their desire to put
public sentiment to the test.
Between this and next June the
temperance people will make a quiet
campaign throughout the state, col
lecting statistics and noting the effect
of local option in precincts. where the
law is now being enforced, but no at
tempt to increase taxes will be made
in any part of the state.
This action of the leaders of the
local option forces in Portland Is
heartily indorsed by the advocates of
the law in Pendleton. They are con-
tent to allow the matter to rest until
the regular election in hopes that by
that time, public sentiment will have
so thoroughly crystalized, as to make
il possible to carry many more pre-
cincts than II an election were held
at this time

MITCHELL RETAINS RoBEETsoN
Private Secretary Who Gave Up the
Letter That Exposed MitcbeIrs Du-
plicity, il Not Discharged.

Although n murmur of Indignation
went forth when 1t became evident
that Harry Robertson, private secre-
tary to Senator Mitchell, had betrayed
his employer and exposed the fraud-
ulent methods of the senator. yet
Robertson has not been discharged
by Mitchell. but has resumed his du-
ties and will he retained.
1t is now apparent that Robertson
did not betray the senator, but that
detectives and secret service men in
velgled him into some kind of a trap
to secure a knowledge of the letters
he bore, and summoned him before
the grand jury and secured the letters
against his will.
1t is said that he will be retained
as private secretary to Senator Nit
chell, as Mitchell's friends have ad-
vised that the worst thing the senator
could do, would be to anger Robert
son by discharging him, for some
thing that he could not prevent.
