CANDIDATE is IN TROUBLE.
j. G. Crawford Arrested ON Charge
OF Fraud.


LEWISTON, Ida, June GATOR
ney ]. q. Crawford, candidate for
the nomination for county attorney
on the republican ticket was arrested
today on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Crawford
says the arrest is a political scheme
to defeat his candidacy for the office,
and charges the officers OF the United
States land Office with being impli-
Gated In the conspiracy.
The complaining witness is George
Wagner, a well-known and prosper
GUS farmer of the Orofno section,
and alleges that Crawford represent
ed TO him that a contest had been
filed against the homestead upon
which Wagner had made application
for final proof. Wagner states that
he advanced $40 to Crawford to re-
tain him as counsel in securing the
patent to the land, but commenced
a quiet investigation on his own ac-
count. He alleges that the inyesti-
CATION at the local land office, made
with the assistance of the United
States land Office inspector, disclosed
the fact that no contest had been
filed against his property and
the prosecution against Crawford was
instituted, upon the recommendation
Of the land inspector. Crawford was
arraigned in the justice court and
trial was set for June Is.

oREGoN,s REFORMS.

Some OF Oregon's political reforms
are largely experimental while others
have been proven TO be practical
The operation OF the referendum law
resulted In the people adopting
thirteen, and rejecting seven, OF the
laws passed by the last legislature
and referred to them for consIdera-
ton. The result shows most favor
ably for the plan, as the laws adopted
are all good and OF those rejected
most. at least, are detrimental TO the
best interests of the public. There
may be exceptions to the rule, but
the result is good and demonstrates
the ability OF the people to determine
what legislation they wish and what
is Objectionable.
Among other things constitution
al amendment was adopted command
Ing members OF the legislature to
vote for the peoples choice for Unit
ed States senator. This amend
ment becomes effective at once and
as a result. members OF the legislature
being required to take an oath to
support the constitution OF the

berlain or violate their oath. Ore

WHAT Mr.. ARcHBoLD PAID
FOR.
Manufacturers Record.

Answering a question that has been
asked by a few of our esteemed con-
temporaries in regard to Mr.. Arch
holds subscription, the facts are
simply these:
The Standard Oil Co., through Mr..
Archbold, has given orders TO the
Manufacturers Record, at the soiici-
tation of the Manufacturers Record.
for COPIES of our. publications at our
regular rates of subscription, and they
have been circulated in the interest OF
the South as stated in detail elsewhere
on this page.
We thought our statement made
last week about this matter was Suffl-
cient, and the letters we have re-
ceived confirm that opinion. But by
reason of our sense of obligation to
an explicit explanation.
The Standard Oil Co. and its OFF,
GERS have many millions, probably sew
eral hundred million dollars, invested
in the South, and for years We have
persistently, in person, by letter and
through the Manufacturers Record
itself urged them to make still larger
investments there. Naturally, they
wanted to develop the South and make
more profitable their own investments.
The United States Steel Corporation,
with its vast capital, is putting mil
lions into Southern iron and steel de-
velopment, and We have urged this
upon that corporation ever since it
was organized, aud cts recent advent
into Alabama is universally regarded
by the people of that state as the
greatest blessing of a material kind
that has come to that commonwealth
in its history. We have sometimes
credited ourselves with having helped
to promote that blessing. The Manu-
facturers' Record expects to oe inStru-
mental in inducing many other to put
their money in the South.
