west. He THINKS Mr.. Bryan will bs
elected president. He says Mr..
Bryan has great strength among the
western people who admire and be-
lieve in him. In every place that I
visited, said Senator Grady, I heard
Republicans say they would vote for
Bryan in preference to Taft. OF
course, New York is going Demo
cratic this year, and conditions favor
a Democratic victory"
John A.. Hartigan, Insurance Com
missioner Of Minnesota, who called at
Democratic headquarters, is very en-
thusiastic over Democratic prospects
in that state. johnson will be elected
governor" he said. land we will make
q great fight all along the line for the
Democratic ticket. There is no fac
tionalism in our party. There are no
johnson men and there are no Bryan
men. All Democrats are Bryan and
johnson Democrats and are working
with enthusiasm and vigor for the
state and national tickets. We are
going to win this year."
MANY people express surprise when
the statement is made that Taft will
fail to carry his own state this year,
but it is my confident opinion that
Ohio will give its electoral vote to
Bryan and Kern" This statement
came from Ed. Mahon, a prominent
business man in Columbus, Ohio, who
called at Democratic headquarters to
arrange for the distribution Of litera-
ture in the Ohio contest. 1--WE want
all the literature we car get" said
Mr.. Mahon, "for the people are in q
very receptive mood this year. 1t is
surprising to Democrats to find so
many Republicans in Mr.. Taft's own
state who r for Bryan and Kern. 1
never knew the Democratic party to
be in as good shape as it is in Ohio
today. We are not only going to elect
a Democratic governor, but we are go
ing to beat MI. Taft right in his own
bailiwick."

man De Almond.

On the word Of James Schoolcraft
Sherman, Republican vice presidential
candidate, full responsibility for con-
gress' failure to enact many needed
laws must be assumed by the Repub-
lican party.
April 8, 1908. in the house, as printed
In the Congressional Record, Repre-
sentative David A. De Almond, of
Missouri, said:
when the question is asked any
where in the country-and it will be
asked-why was not this measure
considered, why was not that meas
ure passed, why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, and only one: Because the Re
publican majority in this house willed
that 1t should not be considered, should
not be brought up, should not be
passed. We car stand upon that rec
ord. 1t IS well known that there is
pressure in the country, and very great
pressure, for the consideration and
passage Of a number Of important
measures. It is we'll known that n
large majority of the voting strength
Of the country ia ~insistent upon the
consideration and the passage Of i'm
portant measures. Do not go to them
again, as you have done so often and
SO successfully, and endeavor to de-
Jude them into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass it. You can have con
%sfderation, because you have the pow
er to enforce it; and, so far as meritori-
Gus measures are concerned, as has
been demonstrated here more than
nee and will be demonstrated again,
and abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will, you have
only to give the opportunity, and II
you lack the votes upon that side, as
you do not, there will be an abundant
addition here"
Sherman Admits 1t.
The same day, replying, MI. Sher-
man said:

JOSEPH MCABE VISITS
OLD HOME IN WALLA WALLA

Joseph McCabe, one Of the most
widely known railroad men Of the
Pacific northwest. and formerly gen.
eral manager Of the w. & c. r. To-
Gated here, IS back in Walla Walla
again for short visit among friends,
says the Walla Walla Bulletin. He
left two and one-half years ago when
he went to Providence, r. l., to un-
dertake an extensive tunnel contract
for the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad company.
Mr. McCabe is accompanied by Mrs.
McCabe and their daughter Olive, and
will remain in the city during the
week renewing old friendships. Then
Mr.. McCabe and his wife and daugh-
ter will visit friends and relatives
elsewhere in this state and Oregon.
About two and half years ago Mr..
McCabe was induced by President c.
S. Mellen Of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford to resign his position
as president and general manager Of
the Washington & Columbia River
Railroad company and go to Provi-
dence, r. l., to begin the construction
of a mile long, two-track tunnel un-
der that city from the Seekonk to the
Moshassuck river at a cost of S2,-
100000.
This contract was begun by MI.
McCabe and his business partner,
Charles S. Bihler, July 6, 1906, and
has just been completed.

Crime 20 Give Away Booze.

John Campbell was arrested sun
day afternoon on the charge of Civ
ing a drink of whiskey to d. C. Pain
ter of Tigh Valley, says The Dalles
Chronicle. The officers caught Camp
bell in the act of treating" in the
alley between Second and Third
streets and took him into custody.
Campbell was arraigned and gave
$40 bail for his appearance in court
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. He
did not show up, however, at that
time and forfeited the bail money
which covers the amount of the fine,
had he been found guilty. 1t is not
only an offense under the city ordi-
nance to sell booze on Sunday in The
Dalles but a misdemeanor to give it
away as well.
Campbell is a stranger in the city,
or was, rather for he has undoubted-
ly disappeared from this vicinity,
leaving the $40 behind.

GOLD DUST THIEF
NABBED AT SEATTLE

When James H Beggs was accost-
ed by City Patrolman Hubbard last
evening on board the steamer Sena-
tor, which had just arrived from
Nome, the closing chapter of one of
the biggest gold dust robberies in the
history of the west and north closed,
gays Seattle item.
Beggs was arrested on a warrant
issued by Deputy United States Mar
shal Charles Driebelhis, of Fairbanks,
charging him with entering the state
of Washington with stolen goods.
The real charge is that Beggs had
a part of the $4,000 which Bobby"
Miller had planted two years ago at
Fairbanks after turning over to the
authorities the major portion of S7S,-
236.S4 taken from the steamer Tan
ana.
Robert Miller is supposed to be on
his way from Skagway to Seattle to
meet Beggs and divide up the mon
ey

CARS ARE PLENTIFUL.
What Crop Is Moved Much Earlier
Than Last Year.

Estimates made yesterday by sew
eral local warehousemen and grain
shipping firms place the total con-
signments delivered at Portland and
Sound points at from 40 to so per
cent of the entire yield for Walla
Walla county, says the Walla Walla
Union. one dealer estimated the
amount shipped up to date at 80 per
cent, while another placed 1t as high
as go per cent.
owing to excellent transportation
facilities which railroads are giving
shippers this season there has not
been a single case OF car shortage re-
ported, although practically every
car and locomotive is being used in
handling crop shipments. Because of
quick transportation facilities the
wheat moving season is from two
weeks to a month earlier than last
year. Heavy consignments of both
fruit and grain are being sent from
Walla Walla daily. the principal part
OF fruit going to eastern points, while
practically all the wheat Is sent to
Portland and Sound points for export
trade.
