power to remove him and that he
would fight any attempt on the gov
ernor's part TO do So

action till he had been officially in
formed Of Governor Vests action.

could not say today whether he would
accept He stated he would make a
definite statement tomorrow follow
ing the return to Portland Of his
chief, United States District Attorney
McCourt, with whom he wished to
confer before finally accepting or de-
clining Vests appointment

thought the old statute under which

pealed by the amendment TO the con-
stitutlon passed in 1911 providing
that criminal proceedings might be
instituted against a district attorney
not doing his duty
As consequence of Governor
Vests action in removing District
Attorney Cameron, Multnomah coun-

his legal right to conduct the grand
Jury, District Attorney Cameron dis
missed that body.

building, and said he would stay here
until he has gotten his crusade Wig
