UMA7|LLA COUNTY GIVES TAFT
PLURALITY Of MORE THAN 700

Umatilla county yesterday voted
700 plurality for William Howard
Taft as president. The result Of the
vote was a surprise to even the most
sanguine republican leaders, It was
greater than the majority for prohibi-
ton in the June election.
The vote in the county was heavier
than at the June election, according
to the indications in reports from the
various precincts today and not even
the great fight over prohibition arous-
ed such great enthusiasm as did the
campaign Just brought to a close.
The changes In registration In the
county added many voters-probably
a couple OF hundred to the poll lists,
and yesterday in Pendleton more than
200 men were sworn in that they
might be permitted to cast ballots.
This morning the returns from 30
out OF Umatilla's 80 precincts showed
a plurality OF 1876 for Taft over Bryan,
only the smaller precincts at the time
were yet unheard from and the ulti-
mate result will be but slightly chang
ed from that indicated by the incom-
plete returns.
The following is the vote by pre-
cincts so far as has been ascertained:

CURES CATARRH.
The Pcndlcton Drug Co. VIII Furnish
the Medicine Free In Every Case
Where They Fail TO Cure Catarril.

the Medicine Free In EVERY Odsc
Where They Fail TO Cure Catarril'
Neglect or pessimism we believe Is
the greatest enemy the public have
TO contend with when applied to the
| loss or recovery Of health. Practical
! " every case OF consumption might
have been cured If hope had been
maintained and proper treatment had
! been resorted to at the first symptom
Of the disease. Until the advanced
| stage Is reached consumption Is
durable. Catarrh is responsible, we
believe, for every case Of consump-
tion. 1t is about catarrh we want to
talk to you today, incidentally con-
sumption, since the two are 50 close
ly allied.
We have a medicine made from the
| prescription Of one Of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known.
This medicine has a record Of 9S
per cent of cures, and we believe it
Is positively without an equal. We
are so satisfied that we are right,
that we will supply the medicine free
I'm every instance where 1t is used ac-
cording to directions for reasonable
length of time and fails to cure and
give satisfaction in every particular,
We want everyone in Pendleton to try
this medicine at our risk. There are
no conditions or formality attached
to our offer. We put the user under
no obligation to us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t Is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
of trouble. 1t is carried by the blood
to every part Of the system. 1t seeks
out and destroys the germs or para
sites which cause catarrh. 1t puri-
fies and enriches the blood, tones up
the mucO-cells, soothes and heals the
tissues that were ravaged by the ca
tarrhal parasite. and brings about
condition of health and strength that
prevents the germs of consumption
from ever getting a start. Besides
this Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonder
full appetizer, digestive aid and flesh
builder. It's good effects are felt the
very first dose. 1t Is one of the larg-
est and most satisfactory selling medi-
cnes that we have ever had anything
to do with. We know so much Of
the great good that it has done that
we personally back it up with our
reputation and money. which fact
should be ample guarantee to satisfy
anybody.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two
sizes. soc and 81. We urge you to
try it, The Pendleton Drug Co.

ARREST LIQUOR MEN.
Crusade BY New York Weekly Re-
suits I'm Arrests.

St. Louis, Nov. 4.-As the result OF
n crusade commenced by New York
weekly periodical, and taken up all
over the south, members of the firm
OF Levy & Company. distillers and
liquor dealers, have been arrested on
charges of using obscene and inde-
scent labels on their products. II was
alleged by the New York magazine
that the gin made by the concern,
and which is largely consumed by the
negroes OF the south, bore suggestive
and vulgar labels. and that the ad-
vertising matter OF the company was
OF such a character as to violate the
postal laws. InslnuatIons have been
made that the Gin is largely respon-
sible for arouslng base passions OF
the negroes and driving them to the
nameless crimes against women
which are OF such alarming frequency
in the south.
The indictments were returned by
a federal grand jury against Lee Levy
and Adolph Asher. 1t is stated that
these men have become wealthy
through the sale OF their gin, which
is one OF their principal products.
Prominent attorneys have been en-
gagged to defend the men and the trial
promises to develop many sensations.
There are two counts in each OF the
indictments against Asher and Levy.
The first indictment is brought under
the law governing express companies,
while the second is on alleged viola
tion OF the postal regulations. The
four counts render Asher and Levy
each liable to a maximum penalty
in case of conviction on all of 20
years in the penitentiary and $780,
600 fines.

The results in the county contained
many surprises for both parties. The
small democratic majority in Athena
was a surprise, while in the city Of
Pendeton the democrats cut into the
plurality the republicans had expect
ed and Taft went out of Pendleton
with only 167 votes to spare. The
democrats showed gains in the Echo
precinct also. and in South Pendleton
and in Umatilla the result of the rail-
road vote was seen in the strength
Of the democratic vote.
The heaviest republican sentiment
shown was at Pilot Rock where the
Taft votes outnumbered the demo-
cratic ballots by four to one; while
Umatilla gave the heaviest proportion
OF democratic support by voting
about one-half stronger for Bryan.
There was a distinct falling off in
the socialist vote, in Pendleton alone
about two-thrds Of the members Of
that party supporting other tickets.

New York.-To save her affianced
from drowning on Thursday, Miss Ell

bay.
Miss Wall and Joseph Cordy had
been out motor boating. It was late
when their craft approached the float
Of the Wahneta Boat club. near Co.
roma. and the young man in jumping
from the float missed his footing
and pitched headlong.
The blow upon the head stunned
him and he rolled into the water.
Miss Wall who is an expert swim
mer, did not stop even to remove her
plumed hat, but dived overheard.
Grasping Cordy she brought him to
the surface, after a struggle, but was
too exhausted to raise his still un-
conscious form to the float. Her
cries for help as she supported her
self and her lover brought help. Cor

Road Taxes

1t is right that people should fear Il
heavy tax rate and should prevent
taxes from becoming eXOrbtant, A
certain amount OF taxes, however, is
necessary in order to provide for puh.
lie institutions and to improve th e.
country. A low tax raie does not
necessarily mean public saving not
the amount OF money spent, but the
judicious expenditure OF it should be
our position.
Road improvement should keep
abreast with the growth OF the state.
No one internal imprnve mcnt is more
essential to the prosperity and advance
meut OF the state than good highways
One reason the roads are not improv, d
is because the people fear they cannot
afford it.
1t must, however, be borne ia min
that no road oIlicial no matter how
efficient he may be, can build roads
without funds. Permit me to quote
from letter Of one OF our county high.

attractive scenery in our county but

When | first came To- this county,
