"All the supervisors with the excep-

fessed all their participation in the ac-
ceptance of bribes. Duffy Is willing to
testify and will be before the grand
Jury this afternoon. Whether he VIII

certain conditions that we will put up to
him.
I'VE want to know certain things that

Sanderson was a former schoolmate
of Heneys and was supposed to have
been the first supervisor to confess To
the latter several months ago. AT that
time he was supposed to be on his
deathbed, and Immediately afterward
went to Arizona, returning only a few
days ago.
AS a matter Of fact, said Mr.. Heney,
Sanderson did not make any admission
until he knew that the young prosecut-
ing attorney who became famous in the
oregon land fraud cases had practically
everything in his hand and required
only Sanderson's veriflcation. Former

Propositions were made to buy that
mill out. Mr.. Horne opposed it and
offered to become responsible for the
future of the mill himself provided 1t
was kept independent. A few years
ago, wheni it appeared that the Ameri-
can Cotton Oil Company and the South
ern Oil Company would control the
cotton seed market of the South, and
that they possibly might combine and
regulate prices, Immediately Mr.. Horne
assisted in the building Of an indepen-
dent mill at Clayton, which mill is now

movement. Six or seven years before
he had been moderate and conciliatory
in dealing with the Populists, for he
understood the burden under which
the farmers were then staggering. But
in 1898 he mad no sympathy for any

Butler, Russell and. Thompson. He
was outspoken in denouncing my such
proposition. He came to the State
Convention in 1898 and threw his
whole influence in favor of a straight
fight.
Ifthere is one idea in Mr.. Horne's
mind, or if there is n motive in his
life which predominates overa all others,
1t is his opposition and hatred of mono
poles and combines. He has always
stood for the individual and in favor OF
the freest competition. He does not
believe in any law which gives one
man an advantage over another, and
he belives that any agreement between
two or more companies to restrict COM

to be punished in the severest manner.

kindness and sympathy, dissuading
them from leaving the Democratic par

the country Immediately contiguous to

this, was the wise and kindly manner
in which the farmers were treated by
