FAvORS CAKE FOR SENATOR
Co rvalIis Newspaper Gives Numerous
Reasons Why He Should Be
Elected.

The Corvallis Gazette, a stauncn
Republican newspaper, having given
the Senatorial situation careful study,
has decided to support Mr.. Cake. It's
reasons are given as follows:
1st. Should Mr.. Cake receive the
Republican nomination, it will place
Mr.. Chamberlain between the devil
and the deep sea" without a platform
to stand on, he having voluntarily
assumed a partisan, happy go
lucky gait, going the whole hog on
Statement No. and telling his Demo
cratic brethren he recently loved so
we'll that he has become infatuated
"wittf most OF the Roosevelt policies
until after the June election-after
which time the probationary state will
cease and he will again be permitted
to exercise his conscience by voting
for Democratic measures In the Senate,
IL elected.
2nd. That as Mr.. Cake has stood for,
and manfully defended Statement No.
/ for the past two years, there would be
no inst cause for Republicans TO pre-
fer a new convert from the Democratic
ranks on this question to the exclu-
sion Of all other questions of vital
importance 10 the state and Nation
which will ccme up during the Sena-
torial term.
3rd. That in the light OF past his
tory, with legislative hold-ups, cor
rupt use OF money to Influence
senator's and representatives, men
seeking election to the Legislature on
Senatorial years to see the fun speclai
trains running with all other cor
rupting influences in connection
Herewith, thus bringing shame and
disgrace on the fair name Of our state,
our people will never again return to
the old system of election by the legls-
lature.
4th. That very large majority OF
the newspapers in the state are first,
last, and all the time in favor OF the
people electing a Senator.
9Th. That nearly every Grange in
the state has declared by resolution
that they will not support candidates
for the Legislature who are opposed to
election by the people.
9th. That it is a Republican meas
ure passed by Republican legls-
lature.
9TH. Nearly every candidate that
has announced for the Legislature has
subscribed to Statement No. l, at least
In a modified form, and those who
failed had to come back and take their
medicine.
9Th. With 10000 Republican major
ity behind Mr.. Cake, would it be
possible for Mr.. Chamberlain to jump
sideways into the United States Senate
by using n little soft soap on weak
kneed Republicans? We think not.
In view OF these facts as we see
them, we must say that to our minds,
the safest surest best thing for Repub-
leans to do Is to vote for Mr.. Cake for
United States Senator,-Corvallis
G azette.

The primary nominating election
will be held one week from today.
The total registration has not been
footed up, but II is believed that it will
equal or exceed the registration of two
years ago. The fact that the voters
have registered for the primary cleo
tion proves that they are interested in
the selection Of officers to manage the
affairs OF the county and state for the
next two years and indicates that a
heavy vote will be polled next Friday.

Later President Nichols began suit against the Title Guarantee and Surety Company of Scranton, Pa, for the amount or Mcdowell 8 shortage. This company was on the cashier B bond and as it is a most reliable concern, it is not likely that the directors of the bank will lose anything, The ease comes comes up for trial at the oneom- ing term of the district court.
 Last Monday the first warrant against Mcdowell was sworn out in Justice Johnstonc s court and requisi- ton papers were secured from Governor Kibbey. These were not needed how ever, as Mcdowell waived examination proceedings.
 The accused man came to Phoenix four years ago fiom Colorado. For sev. eral years prior to that he had been employed in a bank and was highly recommended.

BIG JUDGMENT IS
 GIVEN EPES RANDOLPH

Eugene s. Ives, well known attorney, has returned to Tucson from Los An geles, where he spent several days repre- senting Col. Epes Randolph in the trial against Lycurgus Lindsay, the former partner of the colonel in some mining operations. A decision was rendered by the court in favor of Col Randolph.
 The case arose out of the operations of the American- Mexican Goldfelds Mining company, in which Colonel Ran dolph and Lindsay were interested joint ly. This corporation has control of the Llanos de Orc placer property in the Altar district in Sonora, which gave great promise for a while, but finally was shown to be worthless. The com pany had contracted large amount of debts, and Colonel Randolph held himself and Lindsay personally liable, in accordance with the contract he claimed existed.
 When it came to the settlement of the debts of the concern, Lindsay con- tended that no agreement existed and refused to pay. Suit was filed, and the case was argued in the district court of Los Angeles before Judge Hut ton. After considering the evidence, the court rendered a decision in favor of Colonel Randolph for the sum of $26, 765.

PHOENIX, May With at least one felony charge hanging over his head, John l.. Mcdowell, formerly cash fer of the Union Bank and Trust Com pany of this city, mas arrived in this city in the custody of Sheriff Carl Hay den.
 The present charge against the ex. cashier is the embezzlement of S250, but he is also accused of being short $2l,. S65 in his accounts. This latter amount is said to consist of sums taken at diff ferent times, and each act constitutes separate offense. if it is decided to push them.
 Mcdowell is not being prosecuted by the bank, but by w. F. Nichols presi. dent of the institution. The ban know has merely a passive interest in the matter. After he had left tho city and his shortages were discovered, the di rectors made everything good down Ia the last cent from their own pockets and left all future action to President Nichols.
 MeDowell was brought back on a charge that he embedded s250 depos. ited with him by a Chinaman. After he had left the Chinaman came in to close his account. He insisted that he had $750 there while the books showed him to be entitled to but $500.

YAvAPAI SENDS s5o,ooo
 IN GOLD TO FRISCO

Five gold bricks, the aggregate value of which is in the neighborhood of s50,000, have been forwarded in the last ten days to the mint at San Fran cisco by the Prescott National bank. All came from Yavapai eourty mines, the latest being 654 bar from the Octave mine, the result of recent short run of the company's forty-stamp mill The brick is only half the size of the ones usuallya sent in by that company for the reason that it is the cleanup of less than half the length of former runs. In connection with the almost daily shipments of gold ore to smelters at various points, Yavapai s monthly production of the yellow metal will reach a handsome figure.
