tee disregarding Mr. Bryan's wishes
on this or any other point. His con-
troll is absolute. He has only to sug-
gest wish, and it is instantly com
piled with. Such members as privately
oppose him are entirely willing to lei
him have the full responsibility of the
campaign management.
Mr.. Bryan has no speechmakins
date until Labor Day. After that it is
planned for him to make a talking
tour that will include New England
and New York, with an invasion of
Tafts state and the Mississippi valley
The fact that Mr.. Bryan tentatively
has. determined to make an early in
vas1on of New York, is interpreted
here as indicating his purpose to wage
a fierce battle in that state. He be-
lieves from the representations made
to him by Charles F. Murphy, w. ].
Corners, Norman E. Mack, Bird S. Co
Ter, Lewis Nixon and other democratic
leaders that, in spite ef his R6Nure to
get an eastern running mate, New
York is debatable ground. This be-
lief has been strengthened within the
last "a hours by the tone of several ed
itorial ute ances by New York city
newspaper which Mr.. Bryan had
counted against him. The fact that
the Denver platform has not met
wholesale denunciation by the eastern
papers appears to have convinced Mr.
Bryan that his cause is stronger in
what he once characterized as ''the en-
emy's country" than even has been
represented to him by politicians His
advisers say that he will sound his
first appeal in New York for the labor
vote and that he will depend for sue
cess upon enlisting the solid support
of that element Of the electorate in
New York, New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.

ARE AFTER THE
EXPRESS BARONs
BANKERS OBJECT TO PRESENT
MONEY ORDER SYS-
TEN.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 24.-An at
tack on the money-order business tran
sacted by the express companies of the
country was make in paper read be-
fore the convention of the Minnesota
Bankers association, in session here
today. The matter will be brought be-
fore the American Bankers association
at it's annual convention this fall.
1t is alleged that as the express
companies are common carriers and
nothing else, they have no right to do a
banking business unless they submit
to the same regulations which govern
the banks themselves in their trans
actions. The bankers demand that these
companies submit to examination by
federal and state banking departments.
They say that the express money or
ders which the companies issue and ex-
pect the banks to cash, oftentimes
when the local companies have not
sufficient funds with which to meet
these orders, have always caused the
bankers great annoyance and incon-
venience. The effort of the Bankers
association is directed toward forcing
the express companies to give up this
feature of their business or, if they
carry it on, to make them submit to
the regular examinations
This aftern BON the bankers will en-
joy a trip on Lake Superior. On Sun
day. following the adjournment of the
convention, the financiers will leave
on the steamer America for an ex-
cursion to Isle Royals.

against Dorando of Italy. who crossed
the line first. Hefferon of South
Africa was given second place and
Forshaw of st. Louis, third. 1t was

The finish of the Italians run was
dramatic. He fell five times in the
last stages Of the race. Each time he
was lifted and urged on by friends.
The fifth time he fell directly in front
OIL the royal box. Queen Alexandra
arose and waved encouragement. He
was then within ten yards Of the tape.

literally pushed him over the line,
where he fell again in dead faint.
When he revived, supported by Hayes,
Hefferon and F'orshow, he was taken
to the royal box and introduced to
the qqueen.
Dorando's time, hours, 81 minutes
and "a seconds. The Americans pro-
tested his victory, alleging that crowds
closed in on the tracks at the finish,
and that he was actually assisted
across the line.

ers from the next group, which, was
headed by Belle, of England, followed
by LongbOat.

NO PLACE FOR
JUDGES NAMES
PRIMARY LAW PROVIDES NO
PLACE FOR NoN-PARTISAN
JUDICIARY ON TICKETS

SEATTLE, July 24-Attorneys are
struggling with the problem of placing
the socalled on-partisan judiciary
ticket on the general election ballot
The question has not been formally
presented 60 the attorney-generars
office for a decision, but when it is
sent to Olympia, the state authorities
will have to make an arbitrary find
ing to get rid of the problem.
The direct primary law provides
that every precaution shall be taken
to prevent partisanship in the election
of Judges. The names of candidates
must be submitted at the primary
without party designation and the
number receiving the highest vote
shall be placed on the ballot at the
general election without party desig-
nation. There is no objection raised
to sticker candidates. but parties op-
Grating under the direct primary are
forbidden to make judicial nomina-
tions.
In this county six candidates Tor
Judge of the superior court will be de-
clared nominated as a result of the
September primaries. They cannot go
on the ballet under any party designa-
ZION and there is no specific provision
for tacking them on as an afterthousht
IN any manner.
The socialists, prohibitionists, social
labor party, and other parties casting
less than 10 per cent of the total vote
at the last general election are required
to hold a nomination convention on
urinary day and may name a Judicial
ticket They can vote straight tick
cts bv a single cross and their Judges
will be entitled to the full count.
No Strdl2nI spdit OeAAAOe "a - "
lican or democrat can by any means be
counted for a nonpartisan judiciary
ticket. If the attorneys find way OF
adding the nonpartisan ticket to the
ballot the voters will have to hunt
around until the judicial aspirants are
located and then painstakingiy put
crosses after their names
Tbus far the attorneys who nave
been struggling with the primary act
and the provisions of the general eiee
zion law to find lodgment for the
nonpartisan judiciary ticket nave Dee''
unable to place it, and they DO not
know what to do with it after the TICK
Of is located. 1t is expected the prob
lam will be sent to the attorney gen.

King Edward and other members Of
the royal family saw the start from

The teams representing America,
England and South Africa, were to-
gether at the start, and clung together
for several minutes, then Tom Long
boat, the Canadian Indian. forged
ahead at terrific pace.
Protests against Longboat entering

minute today. The Americans objected
to allowing the redskin to compete on
the ground he was a professional.
At the start the runners were grouped

WILLING TO FILE
BUT NOT TO PAY
SOCIALISTS IN BELLINGHAM ARE
TO TEST THE PRIMARY LAW
IN COURTS.

BELLINGHAAM, July 24.-That the
direct primary law will be put to the
test in Whatcom county is now a cer-
tainty. as the socialist party today laid
the foundation for taking the matter
into court when they presented long
list of candidates 20 County Auditor
Miller for filing and refused to pay the
necessary fees. Auditor Miller re-
fused to accept the filings unless the
money, 1850 for all of the officers, was
handed over with the list of names.
The socialists held a meeting the
ether night and after indorsing the
state and national platforms, decided
to put a ticket in the field here in or
der to test the direct primary law
They claim the law is unconstitutional
as they maintain it disfranchises the
workingmen who cannot afford to pay
the money necessary to become a can
didate.
The candidates filled out their dec
larations this afternoon and spent al
most a full hour arguing the matter
with Auditor Miller The latter re-
fused to take their filings, and it is
likely that lhey will go into the super
ior court in day or two to try and
secure a writ of mandate to compel
him to accept their ticket.

A story which seemingly puts a
new phase on the financial disturbance
in the northwest last fall has just come
to town, being brought here by a well
known Portland financier. That part of
the story is true, there is no question;
how much, it would probably pe diff
cult to say.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-07-24

that is not enough, will come the next
day with $1,5OO,0O0 more. If that is
not enough, 1 will come the day follow
ing with $1,5O0,oO0 more, and if that
is not enough will come the next day
with $1.5Oo,o0O more-and I will still
have some leI."
This threat to demand six millions in
cold cash from the Seattle national
banks is said to have put the fear of
God into the hearts of the rival bank
ers and they promised to be good. After
Mr.. Chilberg had gone back to his
own bank, however, conference of the
other bankers was held and some fear
was expressed that the Scandinavian
would carry out his threat anyway. Sc
attic bankers all had heavy deposits
in Portland, and it was decided to get
this cash into Seattle vaults at once
Thus, the story continues, a represen-
tative of practically every Seattle bank
left Seattle that night for Portland,
and early the next day the Portland
bankers were compelled to shell out
to a grand total of several millions Of
dollars.
The Raid On Portland.
The raid on Portland was conducted
so quietly that the Portland bankers
did not know what had happened to
them until the Seattle messengers were
on their way back to the Queen City
with oheir grips bulging whit gold and
greenbacks. Each Portland banker
thought that his particular Seattle
had some special de-
mand to meet, and each Portland
banker expected to fill up his tempor-
arilly depleted cash drawer by bor-
rowing from his neighbor across the
street. AS a result of this raid" one Of
the lsading banks of Portland
emptied it's vaults.
It was not until the clearing
house committee met that afternoon
that it developed that there had been
a systematic raid on the Portland
banks Then it was that the strong ap-
peal was put up to the governor to
declare a holiday. The appeal was so
strong and so urgent that Governor
did not hesitate to accede
to it.
WalIa WaIIan Fooled.
In partial corroboration of this re-
markable story is that fact that a
well known Walla Walla banker, who
thought that he scented trouble in the
air, made hasty visit to Portland to
find out how things stood there. He left
Portland on the evening of the day
the Seattle bankers arrived and, of
course, knew nothing of the object
Of their presence. When he reached
Walla Walla the next morning he told
his business associates here that Port
land was sound and that no fear need
be wasted in that quarter.
That afternoon, this same Walla
Walla banker was dumfounded by re-
of Oregon had declared legal holiday
to save the Portland banks from sus-
pension.
