BUFFALO, Jan. 1.-THE revolu-

an important victory when Judge
Marcus in the supreme court made
permanent an Injunction against
Mrs. Annie S. c. Leavitt, the presi-
dent, restraining her from expelling
any more members who are op-
posed to her rule and enjOining her
to see that legal notices of pro-
posed changes in the bylaws,

potism, are read on next Sunday
and again at the end of two weeks.
Within the 48 hours that have
elapsed since public attention be-
came focused on the situation here,
from all over the country have
come messages of sympathy and
support from those who feel that
the present fight is but one of a
series between the old and the new
in the Christian Science church
between the autocrats who rule by
star chamber methods and the
democrats who believe that each
individual should have a voice in
the church government.
Charles Holcombe, member of an
old Buffalo family and formerly
first reader of the church, was sum-
marily expelled by Mrs. Leavitt
after a trial in which he says he
was permitted no chance to defend
himself. He was accused of prac-

A bitter fight will be made to keep
Oregon from falling into the hands
of the old political ring which,
after. being broken at the polls last
January by the operation of the d.
rect primary in the election of
United States senators, has been
reorganized and is now attempting,
under the leadership of former
Senator Charles w. Fulton, to re-
gain control of the state.
Senators George e. Chamberlain
and Jonathan Bourne, shoulder to
shoulder, are to lead the fight. The
two senators from Oregon are ap-
pealing directly to the people.
Chamberlain, the former democrat
governor of Oregon, whose cleo
ton over Fulton, the candidate of
the republican machine which had
dictated Oregon politics since the
days of the land fraud ring, marked
