The State Election

II is hardly necessary TO say that
the result of Tuesdays election is
not Altogether pleasing to Republicans
For the second time during the
present generation the election is
thrown into the Legislature. IL a
plurality elected, as it does in most
States, then the election would be
completed as the Republican candi'
dates clearly are the choice of more
voters than the candidates of any
other party. 1t naturally follows that
a Republican Legislature will elect
the party candidates, and in so doing
will reflect the sentiment OF the peo-
Pile.
The heavy cutting OF the Republic
can vote is not due to any failure OF
the party in power to serve the PEG
pie faithfully and honestly. The az
fairs of the commonwealth have been
administered efficiently and to the
satisfaction of the people. The can
didates were able and honest men.
The cause for this notable reduction
in the party vote is due almost en-
tirely to external conditions rather
than to dissatisfaction with the adj
ministration of affairs in Vermont.
IL Is needless to rehearse national
political conditions. The country is
in a great turmoil. Party lines have
been brboken. Temporarily. at least,
Ex-President Roosevelt has shatter-
ed the Republican party and he has
received considerable following In
vote in this State was larger than the
Journal had expected, IL Is still OF the
opinion that the third party move
ment is not likely TO be permanent,
but is an insurrection within the
party and that il will work itself out
during the next few years. possibly
by establishing new leadership, but
not resulting in the destruction of
the old party.
Under such conditions II was not
to be expected that the Republican
party of Vermont would hold up to-
its normal vote, or to anything APP
It. II is no disgrace to Re
publican candidates that they failed
to poll the normal party vote. They
were the victims of extraordinary cir
for which they we're in
no way responsible. Two of the best
Governors Vermont ever has had,
Carroll S. Page and Fletcher ID.
Proctor, were elected by unusually
small majorities.
The party has made a good fight in
this campaign against heavy odds. II
has served the people well in the past
and it will continue TO render good
service. When the peculiar political
which now prevail pass
away, as the Journal believes they
will pass, the people of Vermont arel
likely TO return to their old-time al
legiance to Republicanism.-Mon
pelier Journal.

UNION OFFICIAL KILLED
IN FIGHT OVER AUTO

Chicago, Dec. 27.-James Conway,
an official of the United Steam Fit
ters and Helpers Union Local, No.
$40, was shot and killed by Thomas
Freer, secretary of the organization.
A dispute over the possession of
an automobile owned by the union is
said to have caused the shooting
which occurred in the headquarters
of the union. Freer, when arrested,
declared that he fired in self-de-
fense.
The police say that the killing real
ly is the outgrowth of u factional dis
pute among union labor leaders of
five years standing. and that the
same feud led to the murder of Vim
cent Altman in the barroom of a
downtown hotel two years ago, for the
killing of whom Maurice Enright,
slugger and gunman. was sent to Jol-
let penitentiary for life. A few months
later William, alias Dutch" Gentle
man. was shot dead in State-street

tional war, according to the police.

MADE FOR
INAUGURATION
BIG MILITARY PARADE
Program Being Arranged for Cere-
monies Attendant Upon Wilson's
Assuming the Office as Executive
OF NatlOn-General Leonard Wood
Named Chief Marshal

Washington. Dec. 27.-Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood. chief of staff,
who has just been named as chief
marshall of the approaching inaugu-
ration parade. has begun to outline
his plans for a military, naval and
civic demonstration.
The selection of General Wood to
undertake this task is in line with
precedents, which, for the last several
administrations, has led to the selec-
ton of the senior army officer on the
active list in Washington regardless
of political affiliations.
Thus it happened that the military
features of President Taft's inaugu-
ration were in charge of Major Gen.
eral ]. +. Bell, while the late Lieu.
tenant General Henry c. Corbin per-
formed a similar function at the last
inauguration of Roosevelt
General Woods purpose is to make
the Wilson inauguration parade as
well balanced as possible in the matter
of the representation of cavalry, in
fantry and artillery of the army, the
bluejackets and marines of the navy
and adequate and liberal representa-
ton Of the national guard and well
proportioned civic display.
Consultations began yesterday be-
tween General Wood and the ranking
officers of the army ana navy now in
Washington and correspondence was
begun between the chief marshal and
the governors and adjutants generals
of the various states and territories
in reference to the participation of
the militia in the Inauguration.
one of the features of the plan is
to gather in Washington several thou
sand troops from the various army
posts as far west as Chicago and
south to Atlanta as well as the entire
cadet corps and midshipmen batta-
lion from their respective academies
This will involve the war depart
ment in considerable expense on ac-
count of transportation and as that
appropriation has been greatly re.
Iuced owing to recent extensive
changes of station of officers and
troops, it may be necessary to apply !
to congress Immediately upon its re-

ROUNDUP ISA
BOOST TO CITY

That Pendleton is the best adver-
tised small city in the country by rea-
son of the Roundup is the statement
of E. H. Holte, president of the Holte
Piano company of Portland, who is
here today on business. Everywhere
travel" he said, "I hear of this city
in connection with your great from
tier show and the benefits you de-
rive from that are incalculable."
Mr.. Holte also took occasion to
laud Pendleton because of the splen-
did new high school building just
completed. THE building Is one of
the first things that catches the eye
of the visitor" he said, "and such a
that the city is alive, prosperous and
progressive. The high school. the
new branch hospital buildings, and
Roundup Park are landmarks which
tell the traveller and the visitor a
great deal"
Mr.. Holte declared that he Is con-
sidering making Pendleton a distrib-
uting point for eastern Oregon for his
company. ultimately, when this
country is built up, and it is building
rapidly. we must have such a station
and the choice lies between Pendleton
and La Grande," he said.

Holte concerning the advertising val
ue of the Roundup is the statement
made by G. NJ. Lesser, representative

New York, who travels over the Unit
ed States more than $4,000 miles an

ed has he become in the local show
that he intends returning for the 1913
