would be willing to accept u nomina-
tlon and make a fight for the place.
1T is up to the progressive conven-
ton to nominate a candidate for the
U. s. senate who win add strength to
the ticket" said Mr.. Prescott.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.. OF Or
egon, has the distinction of being not
only chairman Of the senate commit
tee handling the largest appropriation
bill, but also q number Of senate COM
mittees which pass upon aggregate
appropriations exceeding by sixty
seven millions Of dollars the amount
OF appropriations passed upon by COM
mittees of which any other senator Is
a member, The recent session OF con-
gress passed appropriation bills. en-
elusive Of the permanent annual ap-
preparations, amounting TO over $685.
OOs,Oo0, Of this total S4e2.b0e 600
went through the hands Of committees
of which Bourne was member. The
committees Of which Senator Cham
berlain is a member passed upon APP
preparations to the amount Of about
s12O,OOO,OOO. Since work on appropri-
alton bills Is done chiefly in commit
tee, 1t is apparent that Oregon is, on
the whole, better represented on com
mlttces than any other state in the
Union"
"Bourne's retirement would mean n
loss Of at least 100000 in appropri-
ations, and loss of position on COM
mIttee on commerce and appropria-
tlons, and give Seattle and San Fran
cisco a great advantage in getting a
start on Panama business"

DECISION
KNOCKS OUT
TAFTITES

Denver, Colo, Sept 16.-A big pro-
gressive victory was secured in the
United States supreme circuit court of
appeals here today when, in handing
down an opinion on the Kansas Taft
Roosevelt electoral ticket controversy,
the court sustained the decision Of the
lower court in refusing the injunction
sought by the Taftites.
The case was remanded back to the
Kansas court with instructions for its
dismissal. The Taft people will now
take the case to the United States su-
preme court.
The injunction sought by the Taft
ties sought to enjoin eight electors
chosen at the Kansas state primary In
August from having their names
placed on the official ballot as Repub-
licans in the November election. A
Kansas court denied the injunction,
and the case was taken to the federal
circuit court of appeals. Judges Rein
er, Of Cheyenne Munger Of Omaha,
and Garland, Of Washington, sat in the
case here, and today's decision was
unanimous.

Peril TO BE Lessened for Blind
Students.

To meet temporarily the unsafe con-
dltion at the state school for blind
which, under present conditions ls
considered a dangerous flretrap, the
board instructed Superintendent
Moores to employ, as soon as school
opens, night watchman to watch the
furnace and to make arrangements
for removing the sleeping quarters Of
all students from the third story Of the
frame building.
AT present the heating plant is in
the basement directly under the stair
way on the upper floors, and If a fire
started It would be practically impos-
slble to save students in the upper
stories.
The next legislature win be asked
for an appropriation for building a
combined heating plant and laundry,
located at safe distance from the
main building. It Is estimated about
$1,000 will be needed.

Miller this morning declared that, in
his opinion, false billing constituted
discrimination in rates, and that com

This is a question which Attorney
General Crawford did not touch upon
in an opinion rendered, that transpor-
tation companies can ship liquor from
wet into dry territory with immunity
as there is no law against 1t The law
in brief, provides that it shall be un-
lawful for transportation companies to

Can KeIIahar Run on RepubIi-
can Ticket as Republican
EIeCtOr When He Insists He
Will Vote for Roosevelt
WHO is NOT ITS CANDIDATE
If He SO Runs and Bull Moose Con.
ventlOn Tomorrow NOmlnates Five
Electors, They VII Practically Have
Six Electors, and the Regular Re-
publican Ticket VIII Have But
FOur-It Is Surely a Puzzle.

Whether or not the request OF Dan
Kellaher to use the words Progress
sive, for Roosevelt" after his name on
the ballot as presidential elector on
the Republican ticket, is the problem
with which Secretary of State olcott
finds himself confronted.
Together with four others, the name
Of Kellahar was written in at the
primaries and elected by the people as
presidential electors. Kellahar Is a
Roosevelt man, and now insists that
he be declared 80, though Roosevelt
has torn loose from the Republican
party, and a convention is to be held
here tomorrow for the purpose Of
nominating presidential electors for
his party-the Progressive party.
Should Olcott allow the request then
the Taft people will have only four
electors which they can depend on, and
there is a question now whether they
could nominate any one else. Equally
embarrassing is the situation to the
Roosevelt men, for until Olcott rules,
they will not know whether to nomln-
ate at the convention four or five pres
idental electors, for should Kelaher
be allowed to go go before the electors
with a Roosevelt slogan, and they
nominate five, then there would be six
in the field.
Secretary olcott will likely render
a decision on the subject this after
noon.
