"What's The News?"
The Weeks Happenings.
By CLARENCE H. POE.

Just now as 1t Is concerning the final decision of
our highest court in the antitrust suits against
the American Tobacco Company and the Standard
Oil Company. Wall Street is exceedingly nervous
and its doubt upon this point may have been more
largely responsible for the recent furry in stocks
than any alarm over President Tafts legislative
program.
An especially ugly situation has developed In
New York State where several Republican men,
bers of the Legislature have been accused of brib-
cry. the evidence being strongly against them, and
more politicians incriminated every day. 1t be-
gins to look. In fact. as II the Republican machine
at Albany is almost as corrupt as the Democratic
machine in New York City.
In this situation the most prominent Republi-
cans of the Empire State are demanding that Gov
ernor Hughes, the big, able, ugly, reentlessly
honest Chief Executive shall sacrifice his person
al interests and accept denomination. No man
In America has the confidence OF the people more
wholly than Governor Hughes. and there is now
general conviction that he would have made an
abler President than Taft Because they feel the
need OF him In this crisis many Republican lead
now ready to support direct nominations. stricter
control OF corporation. and the conservation leg
isia,icn which Governor Hughes has advocated.
The same independence OF party bosses which
has characterized Republican Governor Hughes Il
also bringing Democratic Mayor Gaynor int
prominence. Already there is a fairly we'll or
ganixed movement to make him the next Demo
cratic Presidential nominee. There is feeling
that Governor Harmon Is too close to the corpora
tions. and also that he lacks the fire and magnet
ism which candidate ought to have.
In Congress the postal savings bank bill Is
stll struggling for existence. but the indications
are that 1t will be amended into comparative
worthlessness. II 1t gets through at all. Senator

one, and good one at that; but as
Judge, he has been neither Republican,
Democrat, Populist, Prohibitionist, or
Socialist, but has been the mouth

pounded the law is he found it, re-
gardless of whom it affected He has
found against his warmest friends as
readily as he has against others; he
has acted at all times as a Judge
should act. Is this not the kind of
man we should have upon the Supreme
Bench of this State? One that is alb
solutely fearless; one that will do his
duty to the letter; one who will de-
eide questions as he finds them accord
ing to the law, and not according to
his own personal wishes?

judges are there that have not? OF all
the multitude of questions that sharp
attorneys are at all times laying be-

for an immediate decision-demand-

made some mistakes? All men make
mistakes.

M'MAHAN TO ENTER RACE
Sensation Political Scrap Anticipated
In Marion County.

II Is understood that L. III. McMa-

race for State Senator in Marion coun-
~.
McMahan has gained statewide
reputation through his appearing in
the courts against ex-secretary Of State
Dunbar; In his fight against the era
ter Lake road appropriation, which
he won, and In his stand against issu-
ing complimentary passes for the State
Fair.
While McMahan Is avowedly a
Statement No. 1 man, he Is known to
be bitterly opposed TO Bourne, and. IL
he enters the campaign, as Il is almost
certain he win do now, It promises TO
be one ofthe most sensational politi-
cal fights ever witnessed in Marion

MODEL LIQUOR ORDINANCE
If Polk County Goes Wet, Strict Reg
uIatiOns VIII BE Enforced.

Fridays Portland Journal says:
Dallas will probably be the first city
in Oregon to adopt an ordinance which
is practically a counterpart of the
model license law of Philadelphia,
where the liquor problem has been
solved by the most drastic kind of con-
troll and regulation. Not only Dallas,
but Independence and Falls City as
WELL will adopt the same ordinance,
which has been drawn up by City Attor-
ney Tooze, acting under instructions of
the city councils of these three cities.
"a petition for a vote in the local
option law at the November election Is
being largely signed by the voters and
taxpayers of Polk county. 1t is said
that every business house In Dallas,
with one or two exceptions, has signed
the petition. Both in Falls City and In
dependence similar petitions are meet
ing with the same reception. Hundreds
of farmers throughout the county are
also adding their names to the list.
1T is practically certain that Polk
county, after two years of alleged
dryness, will go back to the wet col
umn and the business men are anxious
that the saloon traffic in the future be
regulated under the strictest kind of
home rule influence and the drafting
of the ordinance, which will be adopt
ed by three cities within the next two
weeks is the result.
"The ordinance itself is the most
stringent of its kind that has ever been
drawn up by any city in Oregon for
the regulation of saloons. 1t was draft
ed after a conference between coun-
cimen in the three cities and Sidney
Story, representing the National Model
License Legislation association. His
suggestion that the ordinance be franz
ed as near like the Philadelphia law as
possible, was carried out.
among other things, the ordinance
restricts the number of saloons to one
for every 1000 inhabitants, and the
least infraction of any of the laws or
ordinances governing the sale of liq-
uor means annulment of license for
all time to come
Probably the best feature of the or
dinance, and one which will eliminate
trouble in the future, is the fact that
the saloons under this law will be con-
Quoted the same as any other business.
There will be no screens, no blinds, no
back rooms, and none of the other
features which heretofore have
brought their evil influence. The traf-
fc will have to be carried on openly
and above board, and in plain sight of
the entire city"

"Under our present laws pluralities
must decide both in primary elections
and general elections. II the election
Of September "a had been a general
election and Mr.. Bowerman and his
three opponents had been candidates
for election instead Of for nomination
and the vote had been the same, he
would certainly have been elected
Governor and as such have been enti-
tied To the same Difference and re-
spect as II he had received nine-tenths
OF all the votes cast. No more can IL be
claimed that he now is the less enti-
tied to the same consideration at the
hands of Republican voters at the
general election than he would have
been entitled to had he received nine
tenths Of all the votes cast In the re-
cent primary election.
III we want to get away from plu-
rality nominations and plurality cleo
tions, we must do II by Incorporating
into our election laws some voters SEC
ond choice provisions such as they
have In Washington and Idaho and
other states. and I am inclined to
think that such a provision would be
wise one.

Senator and took an active part In the
primary campaign because I desired
