BEWARE THE COLONEL.

If La Toilette should be forced to
withdraw from the race because of
broken health the Taft managers will
have to look out or the Roosevelt
forces will take the ship. Until now
the Taftites have had rather smooth
sailing with the field against the
man in the white house hopelessly
divided. If it should turn into a con-
test between Taft and Roosevelt the
latter will have the delegations from
states where the presidential prefer
ence primary law is in force. Taft
would then have to rely upon his
southern delegates and upon the sup
port of states that are machine rid
den. He would probable be able to
get away with the nomination with
the aid of such forces but it would be
no certainty.

GOLFERS FOR WILSON.

Golfers Weekly is an able advocate
of the progressive cause and it is
worthy of note that it is upholding
the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson for
the democratic nomination for presi-
dent. In the issue of February 8
Golfers defends Wilson against the
fulminations of Watterson ct al, and
in tracing the rise of the New Jersey
man said:
The development of Governor
Wilson in the arena of actual con-
temporary conflict grew out of his
experiences at Princeton. He learned
that the university was to a large
extent a rich mans club. 1t is To-
Gated about halfway between Broad
Street and Wall Street. Its Board of
Trustees contain some very fine men,
but a majority of one on critical
measures voted for what the gover-
nor deemed special privilege. His
democratic led President Wilson to
a sharper rsalization of the forces
that control so much of life. He
passed on to the seat of power in
New Jersey. and the struggle with
the machine there brought out the
same principles. He sees his former
friends of the wealthy class turning
one by one against him, and using
their adroitness to misintl'pret his
every act. The republicans have a
number of strong possible candidates
Mr.. Hughes has made a statement so
definite that it probably will stop all
consideration of his name, in spite of
the fact that he would make a tre-
mendously strong run and a sound
and powerful president. Colonel
Roosevelt and Senator La Toilette
have behind them long records of
tested courage, wisdom, and useful
ness. Senator Cummins, is an able
man. ana there are other republicans
who might be successful dark horses.
In the democratic party the situa-
ton is altogether different. There
the whole fight is centered on Cover
nor Wilson. He is the one candidate
OF whom the special interests are
afraid. because they think he may be
both nominated and elected. What
they may later do among the other
candidates is uncertain. Their first
business is to kill Wilson"
They are out to kill Wilson alright
and the reactionary press has done
its utmost along that line. But it is
entirely possible that the fight the
interests have made on the governor
has aided his candidacy. In the
minds of many well informed men

large sum of money from the people
of this city each month is anxious to
have a hand in the Commercial club

less to remark that the Commercial
association of the city of Pendleton
Is not designed as an adjunct to any
public service corporation and that
many people may look upon that

what may be termed nerve. 1t would
be better for that corporation to con-
fine its energies to improving its To-
