lican organ. admits Wilson's election
Its political editor, writing from New

with election day only a few days

probability is assured, and it would
seem from present prospects that re-
publicans in the next house will be

1t is also admitted that Roosevelt
may run ahead of Taft All of which
Is "a fortifying position for a staunch
republican organ to take. Senator
ollie James is also quoted as saying
that he has never seen so much en-
thusiasm over democratic issues as
during his speaking tour this year in
Nebaska, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and Michigan. He says:
THE attempt Of the republicans to
work an industrial scare has proved
a boomerang. All that talk has help

Baker, ore, oct. 31.-On Novem-

years ago adopted the commission

der an initiative petition signed by

Since the advent of Charles Palm

quor licenses in the city have been
raised from $1,000 to $1400, and the

also put forth as u reason for the

justified additional expense shown.
as the improvements the past two
years have exceeded any for simil-
ar period In the city's history.
The prevailing idea is that the
commission charter will be retained
with "a good majority, but those OPP
posed to it have posted a large sum
of money to wager that it will be de-
feated and on the eve OF election
it seems that the vote is likely to be
