Senator Bosworth. who led the
fight for good roads in the last
Legislature, and who is very pop
ular man with his people, has
been re-nominated by the Repub-
licans. He has many friends in
the Seventeenth District, but his
enemies have brought out an indie
pendent Republican. and are waging
bitter warfare upon him. AS the
District is hopelessly Republican,
the Democrats have made no nomi-
nation.
The Evening Post which helped
to force o'Rear's nomination. and
which is his chief organ, is making
relentless fight against Senator
Bosworth. Although ne is the nom
inee of the party, 1t is urging
the Republicans of his District
to vote against him, and is doing
all in its power to accomplish his
defeat

The MOST significant feature Of
shh Campaign is the revolt of the
businesses interests against o'Rear.
They have watched him during
the past two months of the cam
Daign, listened TO his mutterings
and threatenings and weighing him
IN the balance they have found
aim wanting. They believe that his
slection would not promote law and
order in the State, and that from
he position he has taken at sew
srai critical periods in the history
81 the Commonwealth. II would not
BE wise to elevate him to the Gov
srnorsihp.
II has been charged that Caleb
Powers is not taking an active part
b he campaign because Judge
O'Rear refused to answer Governor
McCrearys question, whether he
approved OF the pardon OF Powers
- Governor Wilson. While the
nnpst famous of the Goebel con-
npirators may bear some resentment
becaus,- Dear has not shown the
courage 70 approve Wilson's course
y this matter he is still too good
politician to injure his future
chances by showing any open resent
nent against Judge o'Rear, II
thsre is one quality that Caleb
Bowers does not lack, II is faith in
bis own star.
he considers his election to con-
gEesz as only partial reward for
kis years OF Imprisonment on the
charge OF murder and confidently
looks forward to higher honors. Il
sill be observed that he pushes
bimself to the front on every oc-
saslon, seeking the applause that is
Bueh rich music TO his ear. AZ
the recent Republican convention,
he co-operated with o'Rear in the
writing OF the platform and did
not hesitate TO cast the deciding
vote against the plank which con-
sAlns Governor Wilson's name
and an approval OF his administra-
lion and his policy.
Powers is willing to make any
political alliance that will advance
Ais cause. II tho Republicans carry

Have you noticed that Judge
o'Rear is the only candidate for
office that can be believed? Ey-
cry statement made about him is
false; every critic is liar; ev-
cry proof of insincerity is manufac-
tured; the Gait House meeting was
never held; McCulloch, the whiskey
man. never solicited funds for him;
nothing ever happened if it is cal
eulated to lose him a vote, The
people are rapidly taking the
measure of this judicial dodger and
hair-splitter.

Americas Financiers Say
Present Money Reserve
System Causes Panics.
BANKS HURT EACH OTHER
Association President Says Proposed
Remedy Would Prevent Business
Depression by Allowing Banks to
Issue Notes and Hold Their Cash.

New Orleans, Nov. 22.-Strong ap-
proval of the National Reserve asso-
citation plan of ex-senator Aldrich
was voiced today by the American
Bankers convention.
George Reynolds, president of the
Continental Commercial National
bank of Chicago, said the reserve re-
quirements were such that one bank
weakened another's reserve whenever
1t withdrew its funds to straighten its
own reserve. This unscientific system
he said makes for financial panics.
He said the Aldrich plan would
remedy this by allowing the banks to
issue notes in stressful times. without
impairing their reserve, by paying out
actual coin.
Mr.. Reynolds said in part:
That we have not had more fire.
quent pan 'cs, or seasons of severe de-
preston in business, is due largely tc
the growing use of credit in business
transactions in this county one of the
most noted instruments of which Is
the bank check.
Credit is thus one of the most DO.
tent factors in all economies and
credit, to be staple, must be protect.
ed by a system of currency and bank.
ing which, while providing for ar
amount of credit necessary to meet the
reasonable requirements OF business
will prevent expansion of credit"
He said this was what the Nationa
Reserve association intends to do.

Rcscnts Her Absence.

Pendleton friends were shocked this
morning to receive work of the sui
eide of DIR. M. B Meter, well known

that city last night. Excessive indul-
gence in intoxicants. it is said, result
ed in his tragic end.
According to advices received here,
he had Of late been drinking hard
and his wife had repeatedly remon-
strated with him to no avail. Finally
in desperation she threatened to
leave him unless he corrected his in
temperate ways.
Last night DR. Meter, when he re-
turned home late in an intoxicated
condition, found his wife gone and. in
his dependency and remorse he seiz-
ed 90 salbre rifle, placed it to his
head and blew his brains our.
He was found dead in his home
and his wife, who was spending the
night in a neighbor's home, is pros
trated with grief
The deceased man was about S5
years of age at the time of his death
and had made Heppner his home for
number of years.

22.-Three sweeping rulings which
materially aided the states conten-
tion-that a juror isn't disqualified
from service in the Mcnamara case
because of an opinion he holds so long
as he agrees that he can lay II aside
was made by Judge Bordwell today
in disallowing the defense's challenge
against s. H. Olcott, who believed
that the Times was dynamited and
that Mcnamara was guilty also
against A. ]. Stevens, who believed
the allegations against the unions
were well founded. Both said they
could lay their opinions aside.
Judge Bordwell also refuses to en-
tertain a challenge against f. A.
Brode made because his personal at
torney is connected with the prose-
cution.
The decisions were decidedly disap-
pointing to the defense, Attorney
Darrow protested their unfairness
and was rebuked by the court.
The rulings will materially hasten
the work of securing a jury.
Despite the rebuke Darrow insisted
on his allegations, that the court was
discriminating against the defense
and perfected the record so grounds
for an appeal might be specifically
evident.
High tension on the case marked
today and the dull monotony of ex-
amining talisman was frequently en-
llghtened by clashes between oppos-
ing counsel and occasionally the court
Darrow was interrogating f. A
Brode. n business man and had ask
ed him one Of thousand leading
questions with which the records are
filled. when Deputy District Attorney
Horne objected and was sustained. :
Darrow angrily took exception, ex-
claiming: "When the other side
wants TO disquallfy juror, the court
permits them to ask leading questions
for half a day."
Your remark is decidedly improp-
err" said the court.
1T Is a fact that the record dis
closes, nevertheless. l want spe-
cific ruling on this point" said Dar-
row.
Judge Bordwell ruled that certain
questions that might be proper in the
case OF one Juror would not be prop
er in the case of another
This plainly amazed Darrow and
he promptly declared that he never
before had heard of such a ruling
and the fireworks enlivened the rest
of the morning session.
After a three hour examination, the
defense challenged Talesman Brodle
because he said the Times was dyna-
mted. The state resisted and Judge
Bordwell dsallowed 1t.

Washington, D. -, Nov. 22-
Chairman Stanley of the congression-
al committee invest eating the Steel
trust, today announced that sub
poena 'duces tecum would be issued
ordering John D. Rockefeller to sub
nit to the committee certain docu-
ments bearing on his deals in the
Minnesota ore lands.
Lon Merritt. the backwoodsman who
'scovere6 the Mesaba range of iron
ore, which later became the biggest
producer in the world. told of the diff
ficulties he had in raising money to
develop the ore bodies in the range,
which he explored for sixteen years.
He said he went to Carnegie and
Frick. Frick, he said, ridiculed the
idea that there was ore in any guam
tity there and didn't treat me like
a gentleman"
Merritt then described the building
of the. Duluth, Mesaba and Northern
railroad. He said Rockefeller rep
resentatives offered to help finance
the road and actually furnished $780,
600 to buy stock and promised fur
ther financial assistance, which did
not materialize Finally Merritt went
to New York where lac met Rev.
Gates, Rockefeller's right hand man,
and now his chief philanthropic agent
'Gates told me how pious and hon
est Mr.. Rockefeller was" stated the
witness. This was in the panicky
times of '93 Gates suggested also
that we consolidate our mines and
railroad and that Rockefeller would
purchase the bonds aid there would
be no further financial trouble.
Several days I hung out and then
Gates said no one had any money
and that even Rockefeller was hard
,up and by golly' I believed him but
now know Gates lied"
Then he said the consolidation was
effected and later he (Merritt) was
frozen out as Rockefeller failed to
take up the bonds.
