SMoOT MAY RESIGN.
Sentiment Has Changed Within Past
Year.

ear.
A special from Washington says in
regard to the status of the Smoot
case in the senate:
If the senate had voted on the
Smoot case at any time during the
Fifty-eighth congress, there is little
doubt but that the Utah senator would
have been accorded n seat in the sem
ate by good liberal vote, but as
time goes on the trend of sentiment
against him continues to grow, until
now there appears to be prospect Of
an almost unanimous report against
him by the committee on privileges
and elections, and such a report, fol-
lowed up by vigorous fight on the
part of Chairman Burrows and some
Of the other prominent members of
that committee, of both political
faiths, makes the outlook today very
dark for the apostle-senator
Senator SmoOt is personally accept
able to the senate; he has many warm
friends on either side of the party
aisle, and there are a number of SEM
ators who will vote for him because
they do not believe in injecting the
church into politics. Senator Smoot
Is not polygamist; he does not prac-
tice polygamy, and therefore these
particular senators are not in favor
OF expelling him from the senate
merely because he is an official in a
church that has countenanced plural
marriages, Notwithstanding the pro-
testations of its officials.
But there are many other senators
who will not stand by Smoot, even
though they like him as a man.
Many senators who would have voted
to seat him in the last congress are
now ready to oust him.

GEO. c. BROWNELL
BRILLIANT EULOGY OF
THE OILY POLITICIAN,
"An Admirer" Gives the Baker City
Herald Florld Review OF Oregon
City's Smooth and Gay Deceiver-
Says George G. Is Misquoted by
Enemies.

"An Admirer" writes the following
florld 'and scintillating eulogy of
George C. Brownell, of Oregon City,
for the Baker City Herald:
At the falls OF the Willamette, that
lovely river softly calling to the sea
immortalzed by Simpson, lives one of
the most unique, versatile, gentle mis-
quoted men in all the state of Oregon.
We refer to George C. Brownell.
George c. is a remarkable human in
every respect. Kicked, scorned, dyna-
mited and shelled from the little pin
headed weeklies to the fierce fire of
the great Oregonian's full dynamite
batteries, he is still doing business at
the old stand.
All the crimes on the political cal
endar have been laid at his door.
All the batteries of hate and envy
have emptied their arsenals at George
c., with no avail. He still does bus
iness. How Is it? Has he the power
OF Arbaces, the Egyptia nsorcerer, or
is he In league with the descendants
of the Witch of Endor?
Not at all, dear reader. George C.
studies human nature and applies his
talents to the poor people. His purse
is their purse, their needs his special
ty. Meek and mild in manner wise
as serpent, harmless as a dove.
George c.. after he is smitten
comes nearer turning the other cheek
NV. l..
made more United States senator's
than any man in the state and be 1t
truthfully said, he always stuck out
for the poor ones. Money is no OBJ
ject to George c., as he cannot keep
II.
No appeal ever fell on deaf ears II
II came to him and he could assist It,
That is the secret of his success; his
love for his fellow men. Clackamas
county has often honored George C.
with legislative honors, and he has
earned them.
No county has a more faithful serv-
ant or one of more influence. Time
and again different parties have
sought his scalp but the common peo-
pie rallied around him and returned
him to the senate and they will do It
again, and justly so as he has served
them faithfully and well.
George c., is as calm as an Egyp-
tian Sphinx, versatile as flea on an
Apache dog, as lnvulnerable to his
enemies at Banquo's ghost, faithful to
his friends as David was to Jonathan,
an ornament to Clackamas county
and the state OF Oregon. Clackamas
will make no mistake I'm returning him
to the senate.

HIS CREDITORS
MAKE SERIOUS
ALLEGATIONS

What the creditors OF Giuseppe C. Mi
chelt, OF this city. charged was a clever
scheme TO cheat them out OF thousands OF
dollars was revealed TO Judge Brown In
the United States district court this morn
Ing; and, as result, John A. Tillinghast

MIcheli's estate, under a bond OF $1,000.
The bankrupt's liabilities are given at
about $4,000 and the petition for bank
ruptcy proceedings was signed by eight
Of the creditors. three OF whom were rep
resented by Attorneys Tilinghast and
Murdoch.
Part OF the petition was as follows:
That Miohell's indebtedness is about
$4,000. the greater portion OF which
said total Indebtedness, to w.t. about
$1,000, being represented by bills for
merchandise contracted for by Mioheli
within about 85 days last past; that
said merchandise represented by bills
amounting TO $1,000, vas duly delivered
TO Michel. within about 10 days last
past, and that Notwithstanding the con-
signments herein referred To, the stock
now on hand in Michelis stores, as far
as your petitioners are able TO ascer-
tain, does not represent value OF
more than $4,000.
That within the last 10 days Michel
has made sales TO drivers, persons both
within and without the state OF Rhode Is
land, below the ruling market prices of
the articles sold and in a number OF in
stances even below the actual cost To
Michel. and your petitioner fear and be-
lieve that such sales under the said con-
ditions will continue TO be made by Mi
cheli 10 the detriment OF the interest OF
his creditors.
Michel has frequently threatened to de-
stroy the books of the said business In
case his creditors should begin any pro-
ceedings against him.

actually tampered with and altered with
