The Main Issues.

In making their canvasses the COR
respondents of the Herald were in
structed to acertain just how deeply
the national issue, which influenced
the elections in Main, in the Four
teenth congressional district in Massa-
chusetts and in New Hamshire, will
cut into the election of next Tuesday
Failure to discover any great sent
iment over the issues which marked
the New England elections and the de-
clarations of experienced politicians
that the voters who may be nursing a
grievance will remain silent put an
element of uncertainitys into all cal
culations. The impression prevails
that the high cost of living and the
tariff will be found to have been burn
ing issues in the campaigns through
out the country.

WAGNER.

There are those who seriously
contend that Charles S. Wagner
may be elected to the office of
county prosecuting attorney.
Wagner was a candidate for the
nomination OF county attorney be-
fore the democratic county con-
vention. Upon being turned down
he sought to be nominated for the
legislature and was again defeated,
although he had been training with
the faction which ruled the con-
yention. Theyq felt that they
couldn't carry the load
Wagner has since announced
himself as an Independent candi-
date for county attorney He ap-
pears to have the support of the
Rayalli County Liquor Dealers as
sociation, although it is probable
that they are merely using this
candidacy to deflect votes from
County Attorney McCulloeh whom
tho saloons are seeking to defeat.
Wagner served one term as city
attorney.
While holding that position last
year he appeared for the defense
IN the case Of the state versus Ro-
man charged with gambling, both
in Justice and district courts.
He WAS subpoenaed as witness
for the state and reluctantly, upon
/ being ordered to do so by Judge
Myers, testified as follows under
oath:
Wagner's Sworn Testimony.
Il went in and saw three parties
sitting around the table and they
We're engaged in a game Of draw
poker there and ] watched them
play a few seconds, and | believe
that one of the parties invited me
to sit down and take a hand |
just sat down and threw out a S.
bill and one of the parties, | don't
know which one it was now, gave
| me some checks and they dealt the
cards then and the first hand-it
| was % cents ante, that is five
| white chips-and the cards were
| dealt around. They We're playing
| jackpOts, | guess. | don't know
1 hot | hot hn
| next one but either the first or
Sc cond hand / won what was in the
| jackpot on what is called busters,
or openers. Then | dealt the
cards again. | dealt them that time
and after l got through dealing
that hand l got up and left, and
the party who took my money in
the first place gave me five dollars
and a quarter back"
Section 1856 of the Revised Codes
of Montana, defining the duty of q
city attorney, provides that ''in nc
case must the city attorney act as
attorney for the defendant in {
criminal action or proceeding"
II Since Wagner evinced so littl.
respect for his oath of office Will,
serving as city attorney, what ma,
be expected from him in the offic,
of county attorney, since his candi
dacy is openly championed by th
saloons?

DEMOCRATS OBJECT TO
POSTAL BANK BILL
Champ Clark Says House Minority
Cannot support Senate
Measure

WASHINGTON, April A.-In view Of re-
publican division and dissension on the
question of postal savings banks legisla-
ton, the attitude of the democratic mi
nority of the house on the subject has
be come of interest. Representative Champ
Clark, leader Of the minority, was asked
today what the democratic position would
be.
"The democrats will never stand for the
senate postal savings bank BILL" he said.
TT looks also as though the republicans
were not going to stand for 1t eithor.
Postal savings banks were favored in
the democratic national platform, but only
in the event that guarantee of bank de-
posits by the government was found i'm
possible to accomplish. When we find What
sort of bill the republicans on this side
are going to bring in we shall then be able
to determine what our attitude will be
regarding it.
1T is one OF the most important pieces
of legislation in congress and It will have
to be given very thorough consideration"

BALL CANE LURES SENATORS
Match at Washington Distracts At
tention from Railroad Bill.
BORAH FIGHTS REPEAL OF LAW
Contends that Adoption of Elkins-
Crawford Amendment would
Mean Death of sherman Anti
Trust Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 2A-As has been
the case on several occasions Of late the
ball game Saturday was a greater attrac-
ton to senators than the discussion Of
the railroad bill and an adjournment Of
the senate was forced at o'clock because
Of the absence Of a quorum.
The traffic section of the bill was again
the subject Of immediate consideration
and Senator Borah was the speaker. He
contended that the adoption of the Elkins-
Crawford provision would mean the re-
peal Of the Sherman antitrust law so far
as it applies to railroads and announced
his opposition to this course regardless Of
the republican platform.
When Mr.. Borah asserted that the pro-
vision also had the effect OF exemptng
the roads from the operation of the COM
mon law, Mr.. Elkins expressed a willing
ness to amend the bill so as to relieve II
from this charge He said that ON this
point the Cummins' amendment went as
far as his, both legalizing agreements.
Mr.. Cummins undertook 10 point out the
difference and was assisted by Mr.. Bailey.
THE provisions of the senator from
West Virginia permits the contracts" said
the senator from Texas. The amend
ment of the senator from Iowa permits
them, but makes 1t impossible to carry
them into execution"
Mr.. Elkins cautioned his republican col
leagues against advice from the democratic
side. Beware of the Greeks when they
come bearing gifts" he said.
Mr.. Bailey admitted enjoyment over the
differences of the republicans and said it
was not the purpose of the democrats to
iy In he nrtb In
say enough to keep the republicans irri-
tated.
To this pleasantly Mr.. Elkins replied
that the democrats would do well to look
after their own differences and when Mr..
Bailey asserted that there were no differ
enoes called attention to the roll call on
the tariff bill.
Amid laughter the Texan asserted the
tariff votes had been outlawed.
Opposes Repeal of Law.
Mr. Borah announced his opposition to
any repeal of the antitrust law, but said
that II it was to be superseded at all he
would prefer the Cummins' amendment to
other suggestions At this point Mr. Suth-
erland raised the point as to compliance
with the republican platform and Mr..
Bacon asked him whether he would per-
NIT himself to be controlled by a party
platform when contrary to his own con-
viction. The Utah senator replied in the
negative, but said he would hesitate a
long time before setting up his individual
judgment against the combined declara-
ton of his party.
IF I supposed" said Senator Smith Of
Michigan. who hitherto had expressed a
contrary opinion, that this proposed legis-
lation would harmfully or unwisely change
the antitrust law, 1 would not vote for
1t II declared for by all the political par
ties in Christendom," ..t.... e.
