MIDSUMMER BOND ISSUE
Of $175, 900, 900 Predicted by Con-
gresham Gillespie.

Westinghouse midsummer bond
issue of $l75,000 600, to soothe the &C.
centric nerves of Wall street, is the
deliberate prediction of Representative
Gillespie, of Texas, a member of the
committee on banking and currency.
Speaking tonight of the action of Sec
rotary Cortelyou in coming to the aid of
Wall street in the two recent panics,
Mr.. Gillespie said:
"If any other president except Roose-
welt had turned the treasury over to
Wall street, as Secretary CortelyOu has
done, it would be denounced from one
end of the country to the other. Wall
street is now claiming it wants the gov
eminent to pay 1915, 900 900 government
bonds due July | on the ground that
this will ease the money market. My
deliberate prediction is that just as
o as the panic is past, Wall street
will demand that refunding bonds be
issued.
''Of course the debt ought to be paid.
With a surplus of $3.50, 900, 600 in the
treasury, this debt and all others ought
to be paid. This surplus is ample to
pay for the digging of the Panama
canal, as we proceed, and when finished
we ought not to owe one cent on it.
That would be the sensible plan instead
of requiring the secretary of the treas
ury as soon as he makes payments on
the canal to issue bonds to recover the
money paid into the treasury"

makes REPORT ON Panama
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT OF KAN.
SAS TELLS OF PROGRESS.
TO Be FINISHED IN SEVEN YEARS
Workmen Have Feeling of Pride In
Being q Part of This Huge
Undertaking.

Kansas City, March 29.-Represent-
alive Charles F. Scott, of lola, Kas.,
a member of the congressional COM
mittee that has just returned from a
trip to the isthmus, delivered a speech
Thursday evening before the Young
Mems Republican club in Kansas City,
kas., on THE Situation in Panama"
In the course of which he said, speak
Ing OF the Panama canal:
SO far as the excavations are con-
cerned, the bulk of the work should
be done In six or seven years. The
construction of the great dam at
Gatun and the building of stipend
Gus locks probably will protract the
period of completion. The men on
the works, however, really, seem TO
believe that If everything goes right
the canal Should be finished within
seven years from this date"
Representative Scott continued:
The first strong impression an
American receives on visiting the
Isthmus of Panar a, particularly If he
Starts from Washington, where tie
atmosphere touching the canal has
been extremely optimistic of late, is
the atmosphere of confidence which
at once envelopes him. Not the engi-
neers only, but the men who are en-.
gagged in conducting the work, talk
with absolute assurance of the sue
cess of the great enterprise, admit
ting no more doubt that the canal
will be built than that they are living
to help build it. There was an air
of exultation ABOUT these men; also
as If they had a feeling of pride in
being associated with a gigantic prof
ect which their country had under
taken.
"A second strong impression a Wis
itor receives is that the canal > n
has been taken out of the tropics;
that it is no longer a part OF Cen
trail America. but a part of the Unit
ed States. This is doubtless due to
the intense activity everywhere in
evidence throughout the zone"

BUSSE BEATS MAYOR DUNE
Republican Candidate Elected Chi
Cages Chief Executive.


Chloago.-The most intense campaign
in municipal politics that Chicago has
experienced IN many years closed to-
night with the election of Frederick A.
Busse, the Republican candidate for
mayor, over Edward f. Dunno, his
Democratic rival, and a candidate for
reelection, by a plurality of between
10, 900 and Is, 600 votes. The issues in
the campaign have been largely based
upon the improvement of the local
traction system.
Both parties were agreed that pres
ent conditions were i~ntolerable, but
differed as to the best methods to be
employed in revising them. The DEM
ocratic party. headed by Mayor Dunno,
stood for immediate municipal owner
ship through condemnation of the street
car properties, if the result could not
be obtained in any other way. The
Republicans favored ordinances which
were recently passed by a Democratic
city council over the veto of Mayor
Dunno. These ordinances provided for
tw%enty-year franchises for the street
car companies, the city retaining the
right to purchase the systems for $780,
0O0, 1000, plus the amount to be spent for
immediate rehabilitation of the lines;
six months notice being necessary of
the city's intention to acquire the prop
erty. The ordinance also provided for
universal transfers throughout the city,
a scent fare and As per cent of the net
revenue of the companies to be paid to
the city.
The fight for and against the adoption
OF these ordinances has been exceed
ingly bitter. They were carried today
by a majority of about 40, 900 votes.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-15
MINED ON THE PRIMARIES.

The Dalles Optimist is slightly mix
ed on the primary nominating cleo
tlons to be held in oregon next year.
In making an argument against the
primary law, from a partisan stand
point, the Optimist gets off on the
wrong track entirely and makes an
argument which is false and mislead-
ing.
Commenting upon an editorial in
the East Oregonian concerning the
prospective candidates for the United
States senate next year, the Optimist
says: at is plain that with Geer,
Fulton, Cake, Smith and other repub-
llcan candidates in the field to divide
the republican vote, Governor Cham
berlain, a democrat, in the minority,
can come into the field alone, and
carry off the plum, while the state is
heavily republican. The result will
be that although Oregon heavily re-
publican by reason of the direct pri-
mary law, a democrat may be chosen
for the senate" or words to that ef-
feet.
The Optimist does not evidently
know the provisions of the primary
law. No matter how many repub!i-
cans seek the nomination at the prima-
ries, there can be but one candidate
chosen and then in the general cleo
ton at which a choice is finally made
by the people there will be but one
republican and one democratic can
didate.
the republican vote in the primary
election. Each candidate will have
his own following. If the republican
vote is divided before the primaries
that does not signify that it will be
after the primaries.
The Optimist in making an attack
on the primary law is simply making
an appeal to the prejudice of partisan
voters and states the case entirely
wrong. No matter how many cendi'
dates there are before the primaries
there can be but one from each party
t., the general election.
