For smaller Papcr Money.

Washington.-If the recommended
ton which Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh will send to congress soon
is adopted, the paper money of the
United states will be reduced in size
very materially and every denomina-
ton made uniform in design.
1t is contemplated to make all notes
6 by . 1-2 inches and to reduce the
number of designs from 10 to g. 1t is
estimated by the secretary that the
change in design would result in a
saving to the government of more
than 100000 annually. 1t was
pointed out by the secretary that he
could make the innovations with re-
spect to the United States notes and
certificates without congressional ac-
ton. but that 1t would require legis-
lative authority to change the de-
sign of the national bank notes.
1t is proposed by the secretary tc
have a uniform national bank note
instead of the municipality of designs
now in use by the 1000 odd nationa
banks The name or number. design
ing each bank, could be printed or
the notes by process separate from
the engraving.

DR.. COE OUT FOR
CONVENTION PLACE
WOULD GO TO CHICAGO
AS ROOSEVELT MAN
Tells of Early Experience With Col
oncl-But Says He VIII Abide by
Vote of People on Presidential
Preference.

! DR.. II. w. Coe, one of the chief
Roosevelt boosters in oregon, is al
so candidate for delegate to the ma
tional convention to be held in Chi
cago. While here DR.. Coe is working
in behalf of his candidacy and yes
terday had the following to say re-
garding the race he is making:
'The matter of choice for presi-
dent is one in which every citizen
should be his own judge.
II am urging the selection OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt. This because he has
given me his friendship for a third
of century, and l have had chance
to know the man well. | conscienti-
ously believe he is the best man now
before the people.
He is western, in many things He
has been with the common people,
as common man, and knows what
the common individual needs, and. If
the average man is taken care of,
and is prosperous, every one is pros
porous. I am looking for active
times. He is active and action is
catching If he is chosen, people
will take courage and at once begin
to do business. Because he will be
doing business
"While l am for Roosevelt, under
our primary law, as a delegate, if
am sent to the Chicago convention,
become sworn officer of the state
merely under instruction to carry
out the will of the voters as they may
express in their preferential choice,
whether for Roosevelt, Taft or La
Toilette. l become a mere errand
boy with nine others to follow the
mandates of the sovereign state
hope to represent in the Chicago
convention. I must and will give as
loyal support to him who carries the
head of the ticket, if he should be
Taft or La Toilette, as 1 will to Roose-
welt, if he carries the state.
ut looks now as though the dele
gates will be split almost evenly be-
tween the candidates, so far as the
individual choice of the several dele
gates ere concerned. under the work.
ing out of the proportional represen-
tation brought about by the fact that
the voter can vote for but one dele
gate.
Locality. therefore is having a
good deal to do with the matter of
votes for the delegates. The bulk
OF the Baker county vote of all fac
tions will go to the Baker county
candidate regardless of whom he fa-
vors. Wasco will divide her vote
between her two candidates, and so
on
quite naturally, I am hoping for
large vote from Umatilla county,
regardless of my personal preferences
for president. Being the only candi-
date for delegate, living or largely
interested in Umatilla county, on the
republican ticket, and having made
some sacrifices for this county, with
much work for her interest still be-
fore me, l am looking for something
more than an average vote here cast
for the delegates and of course shall
greatly appreciate the same"
