that the Oregon system has smashed

hits that the performers were required

were from Umatilla county, and ad-
opted slate for all state, district and
a majority of county officers. This
you will remember was more than six
years after the establishment of the
Oregon system. The machine was
therefore active less than two years
ago and it is active now, but it is do
ing its work in a more secret and un-
derhand way and it is therefore a
greater menace to our government
than when it did it's work openly and
above board.
1t is true the Oregon system has
made remarkable headway toward
smashing the machine-it has reduced
it to small minority but every one
who stands for clean politics and clean
government should fight it until it is
wholly broken UP and destroyed"
J. I. Hinkle who followed Peterson,
denied the existence of a county po-
itical machine and demanded that the
Milton man retract his statements re-
lating to the same. Mr.. Peterson,
however. declined to do so.

the state convention here, side-stepped
the question of instructing delegates
at large for President Taft. The ses-
sion was was devoted to organization
and drafting platform.
Nicholas Murray Butler, chairman,
addressed the assembly after which
it adjourned until tomorrow at IL
o'clock
Though nearly all the delegates
present were apparently in favor of
denouncing Col. Roosevelt's policies,
the convention seems split on the
proposition of instructmg delegates at
large for President Taft.
The fight regarding the personnel
of the resolutions committee is being
waged by factions led by Senator Root
and William Barnes, Jr. Senator
Root showed intimate friends a let
ter, purporting to be from President
Taft in which Mr.. Taft expressed the
belief that sit would be advisable to
instruct the New York delegates for
me-" This angered Mr.. Barnes, who
accused President Taft of "interfer-
ing"
While the roll of delegates was be-
ing called, a messenger approached
Mr.. Barnes and said: Washington
wants you by loIis distance phone"
Tell them to wait half an hour
said Barnes.

the other end of the wire was Con-

Butler attacked the recall of the ju-
dietary, declaring it wicked" He
said impeachment is sufficient means
of protection of the public from cor
rupt judges. He defended the con-
stitution, saying it is not outworn but
is good today and still sound and prac-
tical for the needs of TODAY.

it was, only his presence of mind
prevented his horses from running

Turner declares the strikers had
been trying to pick fight with him
all day and, failing, had unscrewed
the nuts from the axles of his wa
gon. He declares there was another
besides young Williamson implicated
but does not know his name. The
strikers, in justification, maintain
that Turner was one of the principal
agitators for the strike and BACKED
