PLEDGING HAYNES TO :.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

/. j. G. Haynes, democratic candidate
for mayor. has had several calls since
the primaries from municipal owner
ship democrats, who have demanded to
know whether he would. stand by the
democratic state and county platforms
on the question of municipal ownership.
To these questions the candidate has
replied, that he would make his position
plain IN his opening speech, but on the
authority !. Of Frank Mcdonald, one Of
his lieutenants, the municipal owner
ship devotees have been assured that
Mr.. Haynes would come out for the ac-
QUESTION Of the gas plant in 1910. Be
You'd that nothing is said, and it re-
mains to be: seen whether Mr.. Haynes
will follow. the platform in. declaring
for ownership Of the street railway,
and for popular election of the city as
SCISSOR, city attorney and city clerk,
municipal ownership program. It Is
thought likely, however, that, Mr..
Haynes, will go as far as he can in his
declarations, hoping to. hold, the demo-
Gratis in line who are radical in favor

only honered vouchers for 5000 in ex-
penditures for political purposes, but
admitted that some fifteen employees

absence on full pay to do political
work. All Of this was in Wisconsin.
He. insisted that the road had never
spent any money in Minnesota poll
tics. -r+ O.: 49,.

Special to The Journal.
Spokane, Wash, Sept. 22.-Farmers
living in the vicinity Of Pullman have
undertaken to discipline the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company for
it's action in appealing from the deci-
sion of the railroad commission grant
ing joint rate on wheat. +
Not bushel of wheat is being
shipped over that road from Pullman,
and it is stated on what is apparently
excellent authority that Evansville
grange, with a membership Of 800 farm
ers, has decided that in future all the
grain raised by it's members shall be
hauled past the o. r. 6 N. warehouses
and stored in the elevators of the
Northern Pacific. AS consequence,
the warehouses of the Northern Pacific
are filed to overhowing, while those Of
the O. R.. & N. are almost empty.
That the situation is causing the COM
pany some anxiety is apparent from the
fact that high officials Of the road from
Portland have been in frequent confer
ence with the agents Of the company
here.
