Ford pus Miss Alicia up the steps
OF the Nadia and followed her into the
vestibule, meaning to fight it out with
Mr.. Colbrith on the spot, and hoping
he might have a private audience with
the president for the doing of it.
The hope was not denied Pentield
who was acting as private secretary
TO MI. Colbrlth, en- route, appeared in
the passag@way to say that Ford was
wanted in he presidents state-room.
We'll, M. Ford, what are we wait
ing for?' was the querulous demand
which served as Mr.. Colbrith's greet
ing when Ford presented himself at
the door of the private compartment.
Ford's reply lacked the deferential
note. He had reached point at which
his job was not worth as much as it
had been

Ford tried again. In addition to the
precarious track there were few or no
unoccupied sidings, especially near
the front. Moreover. there was no tel
egraph service which might suffice for
the safe dcspatching OF the specia;

over which the Nadia would have TO
be flagger by man on foot. and
The president cut him Off with al.
most childish Impotence.

Illinois Private Bank Closes.

surgents would vote for the Democratic
caucus nominee, thus electing a Dem
ocratic speaker of Republican house.
This would be drastic and revolution
airy, but it would not be without pre-
cedents in state legislatures, especially
where the election of United States
senator was involved. Kentucky re-
Gently furnished such precedent.
A third possibility would be for the
Democrats to vote with the insurgents
and elect their candidate for speaker.
Under the present circumstances this
might be done without calling down
upon the heads of Democratic members
the wrath of their fellow artisans.
The national Democratic platform has
denounced Cannonism and it has been
made an issue in the campaign. Should
a sufficiet number of Republicans to as
sure success invite the Democrats to
show their good faith by voting for
some Republican other than Canaan,
the Democrats could give no very good
excuse for refusing; especially would
this be true should the insurgents, af-
ter creating the deadlock, serve notice
on the Democrats than unless they
voted for the insurgent candidate the
insurgents would disband and allow
Cannon to be elected.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 24.-If every
thing continues to go well, Orville
Wright, the injured aviator, now at
the post hospital at Fort Myer, will be
allowed to go home in about few
days to finish his convalescence at
Dayton, o. Post Surgeons Bailey and
Winter, who have been caring for the
patient, are we'll satisfied with the
progress he is making. They are still
very careful of him. as they have no
ticed that sustained conversation or
any excitement is likely to raise his
temperature a little. There has been
nothing alarming in this line, but they
are unwilling to take the least chance.
Consequently Mr. Wright's visitors

denied access to him since his return

low as twenty-five in the next congress,
Cannon cannot be elected speaker.
There are in the present congress, it
is declared, not less than eighteen Re-
publicans who would vote against Can
non were there a prospect of encom-
passing his defeat. All but three of
them are candidates this year for re-
election in reasonably safe Republican
districts. OF Republican candidates
making the race for the first time for
congress and reasonably certain of
election, it is declared that at least fif-
teen Of them are known to have
pledged themselves either publicly or
privately to oppose Cannon's election
to the speakership. This would make
thirty Republican members ready to
bolt the Republican caucus and hold
out against Cannon's election. There
are a score of others, declare the anti
Cannon agitators, who would join this
force the moment it appeared success
was possible.
Election in March.
Ordinarily the speaker of the next
congress would not be elected until De-
cember of next year, but as there is to
be an extra session of the sixty-first
congress for the purpose of tariff revi-
sion, the election will occur in March
instead of December.
There is no doubt that If the next
house is Republican and Mr.. Cannon is
returned as member of it, he will be
the Republican maucus nominee for
speaker. To elect speaker requires a
majority of all the votes cast. 1t will
be seen. therefore, that should the Re-
publican majority in the house be
twenty-five. and twenty-six Republi-
cans should stand solidly together and
refuse to vote for Cannon his election
would be impossible.
Such a happening would precipitate
about the biggest row ever witnessed in
the American congress. From the view
point of many people such a fight at
/ the beginning of an extra session of
congress called to construct tariff bill
| would be disastrous: but there are
other people who believe the contin-
| uance of Cannon in power would be a
greater evil than failure to pass a
tariff bill.
Possibilities Interesting.
With deadlock in the house over
election of a speaker. the possibilities
would be limitless and of absorbing
interest. Three possibilities stand out
above the others. Should the house
managers become convinced that the
insurgents" meant to stand firm and
that the election of Cannon was i'm
possible, they might induce Cannon to
withdraw, convene another caucus and
nominate another candidate. This
would not be done, however, until after
| terrific pressure had been brought to
bear upon the insurgents and had fail
ed to move them

end with the election on November 3.
Almost Immediately the complexion of
the next house of representatives is de-
cided will begin the fight over the
speakership, now generally regarded
as the second most important Office I'M
der the government Reports reaching
Washington from several of the middle
western states indicate there is almost
If not quite as much interest in the
speakership as in the presidency.
This is due, of course, to the siren
uous effbrts being made to prevent
election to the next house of Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon, from the Eighteenth
Illinois district; and. should he be re-
elected. to prevent his becoming speak
er of the sixty-first congress.
The fight for the speakership will
open as soon as it is known how the
next house will stand politically.
Should the Democrats have a majority
the retirement of Cannon will follow as
a matter of course. and there will be a
spirited race in a free field for the sue
cession. Should the house be Republi-
can by anything like close margin
the fight against Cannon will be con-
tinued with renewed energy in a effort
to hold enough anti-Cannon republicans
in line to prevent his election. Should
the Republican majority be as large or
larger than in the present house the at
tempt to defeat Cannon would be little
more than perfunctory, as there would
be small chance of its succeeding.
The Republican majority in the pres
ent congress is fifty-seven. Opponents

Never in the history of the state
has there been such a spirit of
boosting for the home town as at
present. Nearly every town and
city in the state has development
league or commercial club which is
working for the advancement of the
town and community. They are
advertising to the world the advan-
tages their community has to offer.
Oregon people are just beginning to
waken to the fact that Oregon is the
best state in the Union and has

other. We need more people and
we will surely get them if this

A man who registers as a Repub-
lican, runs for the nomination for
office on the Republican primary
ticket and is defeated, receives the
votes of a few Democrats who had
no candidate for the office, accepts
the nomination on the Democratic
ticket, is certainly itching for an
Office and if nerve is the only thing
necessary to carry him through will
be elected by large majority. But
we are guessing that he will need
more than mere nerve to land the
office. Notoriety is undoubtedly
all such a candidate is hunting as
nobody will take such candidacy
seriously.
