SsLOCAL SCRAP - SENATOR
. BOURNE USES" PRESIDENT
ITO SLAP ENEMIES.
BY ROBERT II. HAZARD
STAFF Correspondent of the United
Press, With President Taft.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. a.
When President Taft reached
Portland at a. M. today he found
himself right in the middle of an
other local fight.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, his
old golf playing friend, is the
storm center of this battle and the
town is pretty evenly divided be-
tween his supporters and foes.
Bourne has monopoli2ed the
president. according to the OPP
position faction, and, by persuad-
ing Mr., Taft to follow a program
mapped out by himself, has de-
! livered a series of slaps at his own
personal enemies and has made
himself the chief figure in the
presidential doings.
