Palmer. But Mr.. Palmer evidently
did not care to enter the contest,
hence Senator A. ". Proudfoot of In
dianola, Is announced as a candi-
date So far as the Freeman-Trib-
une is advised, Mr.. Proudfoot Is a
gentleman of ability and character
and is worthy of the support of the
large class of voters who believe as
he does. With two progressive can
didates in the field it would appear
that Senator Proudfoot has the adj
vantage. The progressiyes will be
divided while the standpatters will
be united, and although the state is
safely progressive in the ratio of
about three to two the unexpected
will not happen if at the end of the
primary contest Senator Proudfoot
is the republican nominee. If there
is no way for the progressive repub-
licans to unite upon one candidate
they may as well prepare for de-
feat. At least that is the way 1t
looks to the Freeman-Tribune.

have made without seeming to fav-
or one faction or the other.
The selection of Mr.. Mckinley
was not made by the president I'M
til after the Illinois representative
had been elected chairman of the re-
publican congressional committee.
Much to the surprise of most of us
the election at the hands Of the re-
publican members of the house Of
representatives was unanimous. Mr..
Mckinley was nominated for the po-
sition by Representative Woods, of
Iowa, insurgent. He was Endorsed
by insurgents and regulars alike as
republican who looked good to all
republicans. This unanimity Of
support was largely due to Mr.. Nc
Kinley's work as chairman of the
congressional committee during the
1910 campaign. Although a regular
himself, he used the resources of the
committee to bring about the cleo
ton Of all republican congressional
nominees regardless of factional af-
filiation. At the outset of the CAM
paign all the insurgents were
afraid they would be Disseminated
against in the activities Of the COM
mittee. Representative Mckinley
soon made it plain that his policy
was to aid in the election Of every
man who had secured nomination
from a republican constituency. His
work did not result in the election
OF republican house, but it helped
to save the seats Of many insurgents
who might have been beaten and
who really expected to be beaten
through regular opposition. The
saving Of all but one OF the Iowa
congressional districts was sample.
When the time came for electing
another congressional committee
chairman the insurgents showed
their appreciation of Mr.. McKinley's
fairness by proposing him for the
position. Although not candidate,
he accepted in order not to destroy
the object lesson OF good feeling
an object lesson infrequently Offer
ed in recent republican politics.
In selecting Mr.. Mckinley as his
personal campaign manager Presi-
dent Taft was adding to the strength
Of the harmony example set by the
house republicans. Incidentally he
was forestalling criticism for having
made a factional selection.

Senator Kenyon and the othel
members of the Stephenson investi
eating committee who signed the
minority report are right in the con-
cMsion that the expenditure OF
more than 500, 900 in campaign
for seat in the United States SEN
ate is PRIME facie evidence of brib-
cry. Circumstances and conditions
sometimes warrant the conclusion OF
Illegal practices. though it may be
impossible to establish that fact by
ample proofs.

newspaper property in the state. be-

mont of newspaper men, at least a
half million Of dollars, is valued at
only $11,500 for the purposes Of tax

Capital that prompts silence in
this matter is sound.

That Theodore Roosevelt is still
the aggressive and undaunted cham
pion of the peoples rights was fully
illustrated in his great speech at
Columbus, Ohio, on the 21st inst,
before the Ohio constitutional con-
vention. Whether we agree with
Roosevelt or not, 1t must be conced-
ed that he is one of the most re-
markable men of the age and that
he is power for good. Mistakes
he may make, but the general teach
ings OF the man is for popular gov
eminent and for the absolute rule
of the people. His Columbus address
was one Of the most vigorous ever
delivered and every word jingles
with sincerity; every sentence con-
veys conviction; every paragraph
appeals for justice. The ex-presi-
dent unfurled the flag of progressive
government and defended it against
all corners. He challenged those
who question the ability of the
people to govern themselves and de-
clared that while the people are not
infallible, history shows that the
American people are more often
sound in their decisions than is the
case with any of the governmental
bodies to whom, for their conven-
fence, they have delegated portions
of their power" Mr.. Roosevelt
made no reference to the president
ial campaign and said nothing that
directly sheds light upon his own in
tentions. The Columbus speech,
however, is one that will grow upon
the people; one that will i'm
prove with age; one that will at
tract attention long after we of this
generation have passed from life's
stage. The American people will do
well to ponder the words of Roose-
welt. They will burn their way
into the national life in due time.

booty were two of Mrs. Smiths most
expensive evening gowns and other
personal belongings.
The robbery was reported to the
police and Detective Hoertkorn and
another member of the detective
bureau started to make a round OF
the pawn shops in an effort to find
the stolen property.
After they returned to police head
quarters word was received from Mrs

A pet dog of the family had spent
hours yesterday afternoon shifting

Going into the yard, Mrs. Smith

pulled this out she found two others
underneath it, the burglars having
evidently decided to cache their loot
and return after the excitement of
the robbery had died down.

On last Sunday morning at tens
o'clock in the presence Of only inn
mediate relatives Mrs. Augusta Moule
was united in marriage to MIR. Oliver
p. Morton at the home Of the brides
parents Mr.. and Mrs Lee Moorhouse.
The ceremony was pronounced by the
Rev Frank j. Mines Of the First
Presbyterian church. The couple left
| Immediately for Portland where they
will make their home The bride has
long been a popular member of local
society and for the past few years has
been a teacher i'm the Pendleton pub
lie schools. Mr. Morton is an attor-
ney in the United States reclamation
service and has an extensive ac-
quaintance in THIS city to which his
duties bring him often. In speaking
of the wedding the Portland Telegram
of Thursday has the following to say:
when Attorney Oliver =. Morton
examiner for the United States rec
lamation service, appeared in the Pen
dleton delegation of Elks as one of
the Roundup cowboys, serious appre-
henson was felt by his friends that
he had become welded to the eastern
Oregon plains. Yesterday these
friends shouted: 81 told you so,
when the young attorney appeared
upon the Mutnomah tennis courts and
introduced Mrs. Morton, but in vent
ing the eXultant statement, these
friends had to change the welded one
from the plains to a fair daughter of
eastern Oregon, Mrs Augusta Moule.
Since being stationed in Portland Mr..
Morton has given much of his time
to the Umatilla reclamation work.
There he met Pendleton society. am
ong the number being Mrs MoulN
daughter of the pioneer and iarned
Indian photographer. Major Lee
Moorhouse. Following participation
in the Elks' parade last week. Morton
returned to Pendleton with the dele
CATION and Sunday he was married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morton will make their
home here. while he is not on duty
in the field In Portland circles he
has been popular clubman. and al
ways appears in the tennis tourna-
ments.
