A correspondent Of the Brooklyn Eagle
says that Indiana politicians in Washing
ton are telling a good story about the
way the thrifty Hoosier republicans en-
ployed a large amount OF the campaign
fund sent out there by the national
committee to carry the state for Taft.
1t is well known that there was little
sympathy between the indian republi-
can statesmen and the Taft crowd, due
to the soreness left by the treatment OF
Mr.. Fairbanks at the hands of the
steam roller" at the Chicago conven-
ton. 1t was understood at the national
headquarters in New York tina Indiana
republican leaders were indifferent to
Taft's chances. In spite of this, $50, O0C
was sent into the state by the national
committee during the last week Of the
campaign.
According to reliable information the To-
cal leaders bet all of this money on Ton
Marshall, the democratic candidate fol-
governor, and made a big killing. They
cared little or nothing whether Taft or
Bryan captured Indiana and realized that
their candidate for governor, Jim Watson.
was in for a licking. SO with commend
able thriftiness they took the national
committees money, put 1t down on Mar
shall and cleaned up" a big pot of
cash.

The money and votes poured in Sat-
urday. although many large coupons
were issued that have not been de- |
posted in the ballot box. over 100,-
600 votes were issued to various con-
testants and their friends. That is |
an excellent idea. Make some one of
your little friends a Christmas pres
ent of few thousand votes. You get
something yourself, which is not usu-
ally the case when you buy friends
present. You pay the subscription and
we issue the coupons in blanks. You
can then hand to your favorite, who
can write i'm his or her name and vote
| it. Numerous persons have done this
during the contest, but now it would
be more appropriate than any other
time.
Tomorrow is the last day in which
to vote. This is the day when all must
| put in all the bushes they have Sc
cured. We have decided to close the
contest not later than p. m. No votes
will be issued after that hour. except
to those in the office at that time, who
have not been waited on.
In the evening the ballot box will
be opened and contents counted every
hour, commencing at p. m. Any sub
scriptions coming in after the ballot
box is opened the last time will not
be counted.
c. P. Strain, the county assessor,
will be given the key to the ballot
box at p. m. and will do the count
ing each hour after. The office force
will do the last counting for the Jour-
nal-East Oregonian about p. m.
when the list is made up for publica-
tion in the East Oregonian.

McNeely For Mayor.

WSbNGSly FSl "uySAs
Editor West Virginian;
From present indications it looks
like there will be three candidates be-
fore the Republican primary for the
position of mayor. viz: DR.. ]. o. Nc
Nelly, ]. f. Morgan. and the present
incumbent, w. E. Arnett.
The writer has heard the qualifica-
lions of each candidate discussed, and
after going over the situation very
carefully feels that the Republicans
will not make a mistake in selecting
DR.. McNeely as their standard-bearer.
He was the first mayor of Greater
Fairmont and filled the position with
credit to the city and to himself. He
is serving his second termas member
of council and has given much of his
time to the city. having been chairman
of some Of the most important COM
mittees. Last spring when the appro-
priations were being made for this
year DR.. McNeely urged council to pro-
vide a fund to retire outstanding Cen
eral Fund orders, which was about the
same proposition the special finance
committee is now offering the banks.
and had his recommendations been lis
tened to at that time the financial con-
dition OF the city would be in much
better shape.
From a party standpoint the nom
nation Of DR.. McNeely could not BE-
improved upon. He has always been
a loyal party man. and has been found
among the most effective workers for
party success. The younger element
of the party are in favor of his NOM
nation as we'll as large majority of
the business men of the city.
In naming DR.. McNeely as the Re
publican nominee for mayor a candi-
date will have been selected that all
factions OF the Republican party can
unite upon. which assures party sue
cess at the coming election.

years of age and only recently came
home from the Pacific coast, where he
was engaged with corps of civil en-
gineers, to attend his sisters wedding.
That event took place last week and
she and her husband are in the south.

facy. And now comes the word from
Grafton that Candidate Hearne is to
hold public meeting and make
speech Where are Mr.. swisher and
Mr. Scherr while Mr.. Hearne is doing
these various stunts from county to
