Only about four weeks remain
in which candidates can, under the
new primary election law, file
their declaration of candidacy.
Thus it will be seen that the time
is growing short, and unless the
would-be Office holders get busy
they may find themselves shut out
by the limitation of the law from
getting their names upon the pri-
mary election ballot.

Those who think a community
should have saloons do not, as q
general thing, want saloon in
proximity to their homes, near a
church or school, near their place
of business, or anywhere where It's
presence would reflect in detriment
to moral and decent surroundings.
If you hold the saloon not good
enough to come in contact with
these, why should it be permitted
to exist Mt all.

When the chairman of the Dem

such a gang exists in reality and
not solely in the minds of the Re-

attention to it for years.

SITUATION IN PANAMA IS CRITICAL

Panama, June 2.-Never In the po-
litical history of this country has the
situation been at such fever heat as
1t is today, nor has 1t ever contained
such possibilities of real danger The
most conservative business men are
predicting revolution and demanding
the interference of the United States.
Threats of dynamiting the Panama
canal works are freely made and It is
constantly feared an effort will be
made to blow up the Hotel Rivoli.
The presidential election will be neh
the last week in June or the first
week in July and trouble is expected
at that time. Double guards have
been placed around all store houses
where dynamite is kept and every
precaution is being taken to prevent
an outbreak.
The thing most desired is for the
United States to duplicate its action
in connection with Cuba and establish
military rule at once, assuming con-
troll of the Panama government. Both
conservatives and liberals wish this,
and there is much talk OF It.
1t Is alleged that the campaign for
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-02

the presidency has been the most
corrupt in the history of the country.
Senor Arias Is the candidate of the
constitutional party against Obaldia.
II is alleged the men in charge of the
registration offices have sent out for
NAL notices that fair election would
be held, and later distributed conf
dental letters ordering their hench-
men to see that none but men favoring
Arais reach the polls on election day.
1t Is reported that one of these let
ters has reached Taft. AS a result Of
Taft's visit the registration lists are
being revised under the supervision of
Americans. The United States has no.
titled the local government that the
election must be fair and orderly.
This is taken to mean that in case of
trouble military control will ensue at
once.
1t is predicted on all sides that il
Senor Arias is elected there will be
revolution. Minister Squiers has been
called to Washington TO discuss the
situation with Roosevelt and the cab
met. 1t is charged that the minister
has been supporting Arias. This al
legation has aroused great sentiment
against SQuiers.

BY the vote of the prohibitionists
making Umatilla county dry, 25 sa-
looms in Pendleton having $1O5,OOO
invested In fixtures and stocks will
go out of business on July l, 1908.
A conservative estimate of the
amount invested in saloon property
in this city places the value of the
fixtures at $1,000 each and the value
of stocks at $4,000, making a grand
total of s1O5,OOO. A number of sa-
loonmen own their property, which
will not be a loss, but which will be
used for some other purpose.
Pendleton boasts of several of the
finest saloon bars in eastern Oregon.
Hotel St George has the most costly
bar in the city, this fine specimen of
workmanship having cost about $2,-
500 The Pendleton bar is also cost
men and several others have cost
close to $4,000.
1t is said by saloonmen that Antoine
Nolte carries the largest stock of Ii
quors in the county, his stock being
estimated at about $4,000. The stocks
carried by other saloons varies from
$4,000 to $4,000 and the average is
placed at $4,000.
By the terms of the local option
law the saloons must be closed with
in 80 days after the election in which
the county or precinct is declared to
be dry, and consequently on the
morning of July l. 1908. the doors
of 40 saloons in the county will be
closed and locked and the stocks
packed for shipment to he wholesale
houses or to other counties where
many of the liquor men of this coun>
ty will continue the business.
Naturally the saloon men are pessi-
mistic over the result of the election,
and while many of them are renters
and can move away to engage in
business elsewhere, yet many of them
are home owners and have large
sums invested in city property and
must remain here until they can dis
pose of their interests, Many of them
will continue to reside here and will
engage in other business and will lose
by the abolishing of the Ii /
quor business in the county.

Unawed by the result of the pro-
hibition vote in Umatilla county and
having unbounded faith in Pendleton,
which has been his home for the past
quarter of a century, Peter Meder-
mach, proprietor of the Mint saloon,
one of the most orderly and we'll con-
Quoted places in the city, has ordered
a moving picture machine at great
cost and will convert his place into
picture show.
Mr.. Medernach owns his own
building and is fixture in the city
and will not leave the city because
of the county going dry, but will meet
the situation fearlessly, believing that
Pendleton is the best town in the
northwest and will continue. in busi-
ness In the city.
Mr.. Nedernach has ordered one OF
the finest moving picture machines
to be found and will fit up an ele-
CANT entertainment resort. He has
started in already to close out his H.
quar- business and will advertise his
large stock at cost, hoping to be able
to close out as soon as possible and
start in tohis new business.
Mr. Medernach has an elegant To-
cation on Main street and will re-
celve a large patronage from the peo-
pie.

Washington, June IN. Dalzell,
aide de camp to the commander-in-
chief of the G. A. r., today expressed
the attitude of the veterans toward
Taft's reference to General Grant be-
ing addicted to drink.
Dalzell declares the veterans are
surprised and shocked, The state
ment surpasses their understanding,
He asked: would Taft have made
this remark had Grant been alive and
present to resent it?"
Taft says his reference to Grants
drinking and leaving the army before
the was was ended on that account,
was because he believed 1t to be a
well known fact and thought 1t to
Grants credit because he overcame
the liquor habit later. The remarks
were made in Taft's speech at Grants
tomb on decoration day.

WalIowa County Dry.

Enterprise, June 2.-After a most
bitter and aggressive fight on part Of
the saloon element and the brewers
OF this county, Wallowa was carried
yesterday by the prohibitlonlsts by a
majority of $50.
The county has been dry for the
past two years and the stockmen,
farmers and business men generally
favor the dry policy maintaining that
conditions have been much better
than before. However, the transient
and, laborlng element largely voted
for the saloons.
The continuation Of the dry policy
after such bitter fight by the saloon
people is considered to be most
signal victory and commits Wallowa
county to the dry policy perpetually.
1t is not believed that the saloon
forces will ever make another rally.
1t will be impossible for them to
again muster such forces as they col
lected together this year.

"The people Of Umatilla county

intend to see that the county is made

Phelps this afternoon when the cleo

alton of all good citizens"
According to Mr.. Phelps, he desires
1t understood from the outset that
there will be no wavering in the mat
ter of enforcing the provisions of the
law, which ~ people of the county
have enactsa by their votes.
Under the provisions of the law all
saloons within the county must cease
business by July and from that
time on it vii be illegal for any one
to sell intoxicating liquors except for
medicinal purposes only.
According to the district attorney
the conducting of "blind pigs" and
the Illicit sale of liquor by drug stores
Will be rigldly Watcned ana he llslH-
yates that those contemplating any
thing of that kind will do well to fore

Under the state law a drug store
may not sell liquors except upon the
written prescription of physician
who himself must take oath that he
has examined the patient and find
that he is actually in need of the IL
quor prescribed. A prescription may
be used but once
The present city ordinance regard
ing the sale of liquors by druggists
is almost identical with the state law
and as a result there will be but lit
tie opportunity for pharmacists to
conduct a liquor business in disguise.
AS Mr. Phelps himself has been re-
elected as district attorney by large
majority, he will be in office during
the next four years and will have the
