labor to work for the defeat of Mr.
Taft and Republican congressmei
seeking reelection, and Mr.. Keefe au
thorized his signature to be attaches
to it.

EUGENE v. DEBS, ILL,
HELD UP BY FRIENDS
AS HE MAKES SPEECH

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-On tOttering
legs, but with n vigor in his voice that
made his auditors forget that he was
sick man, Eugene V. Debs, Socialist cam
didate for president, spoke at two mass
meetings on the East side, the strong
hold of the Socialist party, in this city
tonight, and also journeyed to Brook
Iyn to address a meeting.
So weak was the candidate that he
had TO be supported by two men as he
spoke tonight.
His physicians say unless Mr.. Debs
rests he will not be able to continue the
schedule made out for the red speciaP
tour, which has now lasted forty days
and was planned to continue until the
day before election.

OREGON LAND COMMISSIONER
WILL AID LOS ANGELES MEN

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 13.-In the
trial of the Los Angeles land cases in
the United States court, wherein the
government will attempt to establish
a conspiracy to obtain about 10000
acres of Curry county timber lands
fraudulently, argument was continued
upon the demurrer to the complaint
made at the opening of court yes
terday.
The most interesting development of
the day was the withdrawal of his plea
of not guilty by jeremiah Huntley, the
Curry county United States commits
sioner who is stated to have assisted
in the certification of final proofs
which he knew to be false.
Huntley will now join forces with
the California defendants and instead
of defending himself before the court,
will be represented by Attorney LIE
More.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Secretary

ton tomorrow. Daniel j. Keefe was
one of the presidents callers on Octo-
ber 8. Patrick H. Morrissey of Cleve-
land, head of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, also saw the president
the same day.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 1S.--
A rather severe shock of earthquake
was recorded by the instruments at the
University of Utah here last night. The
first shock occurred at 1922 p. m. ana
was violent for about twenty minutes.
A secondary shock occurred an hour
and a half later. From the fact that
there were but a few preliminary
waves the shock is believed to have
been close at hand.

II ANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 13.-Gov
II Haskell of oklahoma arrived here
IA this morning from Guthrie to
consult his attorneys with reference to
a suit he intends to bring against VIII
liam r. Hearst, charging the New YORK
editor with libel.
The governor stated soon after he
had registered at hotel that he had
already placed the matter in the hands
of his attorneys and that the petition
would be filed by them very soon.
The suit, he said, probably would be
brought in the circuit court, but just
when he was unable to say.
The case grows out of the publicity
of the Standard Oil story. the contro-
versy over which led to Governor Has
kell resigning as treasurer of the DEM
ocratic national committee:
The story in question alleged that a
man named Haskell, in connection with
two others, had made overtures TO
Frank S. Monnett, then attorney gen
cray of Ohio, to stop suit pending
against the Standard Oil company, tne
trio agreeing, it was alleged, to 1ur-
nish $500, 900 in case the proceedings
were dropped.
Denies He Is the One
Hearst asserted that this Haskell
was Gov. Charles N Haskell, but the
executive of Oklahoma declared had
no connection with the matter and saio
that some other Haskell must nave
been meant.
Governor Haskell declined this morn
ing to make public the names. of MS
attorneys who are to bring the sui
| against Mr.. Hearst, or to make any
| definite statement regarding the In
| tended suit.
| He might, he said. be able later II
announce definitely just what the mex
step in the matter would be.
| Governor Haskell said late this after
| noon after a lengthy conference witt
his attorneys that he had given hi
| counsel authority to bring the SUI
against Mr.. Hearst as soon as they
could get service on the New Yori
editor,
This, he said, he believed would ot

CAMPAIGN MATTERS

On the seventh page of this
issue appears w. J. Bryan's
speech accepting the democratic
nomination for the presidency.
This is furnished by the national
democratic committee, and other
matter from the same source
will appear in these columns from
time to time. The Herald has
also made arrangements for
campaign matter from the re-
publican and prohibition nation
al committees, for matter to be
used in the same way whenever
furnished. The Herald being
an independent newspaper and
believing in giving publicity to
legitimate news matter for the
benefit of it's numerous readers,
without regard to race, color or
previous condition of servitude,
offers this matter without apology
or excuse. The public, The
Herald believes, will endorse it's
stand. It can do 20 one any
possible harm to read and study a
question on all sides, especially
the man who is uncertain how
to cast his vote. The Herald
reserves the right to commend
or criticise any and all applicants
for public favor at the polls; its
opinions will be found in the
editorial columns. III.

E. M. Webster Of Glenwood,
who was chairman of the alleged
temperance" committee of the
house in the last legislature
which smothered a local option
bill, has met with a change of
heart and is consuming columns
of space in the Pope county press
in the endeavor to make the
dear people believe he will be O.
K. if returned to legislative halls
this year. The Herald
vainly persuaded this same
statesman to pay a four years
bill for subscription, within the
year. If his political promises
are of equal value with that
Herald asset, we don't wonder
that a lot of the voters of his
district are after him.

The mans shoulder was dislocated
and the physician placed him under

as cabinet worker the injured arm
must be left free to move. To-day
flanagan apparently was all right

to slip out of place, and as usual the
man stopped his work and came here.
