Donald MacGregor, of Glengyl. a colonel
in the army OF James II, who was able

of an outlaw through the loss Of a large
sum of money intrusted to him by his
clients. wealthy lords Of his country Be-
ing unable to pay this money. the Duke
Of Montrose, who was one OF his chief
creditors, and on whose estates he lived.
took Rob's malfeasance very badly and
evicted his wife and family from their
home in the dead Of winter.
AS Mrs. MacGregor was woman OF
talent, she is said to have composed. on
this occasion, q particularly pathetic
niece of pipe music, known to this day
as "Rob Roy's Lament" She then went
into the fastness Of the hills. where Rob.
ON finding himself pursued. began war on
the Duke Of Montrose and all others
who made war on him.
It was at this time that MacGregor

and his inaugural address was listened
to with close and undivided attention.

Senator r. L. Owen, of Oklahoma City.
in his address before the legislature IN
joint session here to-day, said:
Look at Adams County, Ohio. where
1000 voters have already been indicted
for selling their votes. Democrats and
Republicans are guilty alike. In such a
State as that it is merely a question of
which side has the money.
For that reason Gov. Harmon does
not deserve to lead the American De-
mocracy. I believe he is a big hearted
man. but he is surrounded by men who
know exactly what they want
The reference to Harmon provoked scat
tered applause. but there was no hesita-
ton in applauding when Owen referred to
the Lorimer incident saying: No Senator
should be allowed to retain his seat when
his election was accomplished by corrupt
practices or bribery.
