A Trio OF Good Speakers Here

Addison T. Smith, republican candi-
date for congress, Herman H. Taylor,
nominee on the republican ticket for
acknowledgements, and o. V. Alien,
candidate to succeed himself as state
treasurer, addressed the voters of the
county at the Star theatre last Mon
day night. Judge j. M. Stevens pre-
sided and after the address of the
three gentlemen, Hon. Peter G. John
ston, candidate for representative,
talked on the taxation under the Haw-
ley administration. The four gentle.
men laid down the facts relative to
conditions prevailing in forceful
manner and held the attention of the
audience, all of whom were interested
in learning the remedy for high taxes
and other expressions.

Give To Your Eyes
The Attention They Deserve

There comes a. time when letters
blure, when lines run together,
and reading becomes difficult, es
pecially in the evening. This is
caused by the eyes not being
able to focus at the normal read
ing distance, fourteen inches.
The vision in the distance is
as clear as ever, and this fact
leads many to believe that
glasses .are unnecessary, but
this is just the time when the
first pair of glasses is needed.
A continuation without glasses
causes an undue strain on the
muscles Of the eye, and a dull
headache is the result. A per-
son gains nothing by going with
out glasses when they are need
ed, in fact they gain much by
having

engine was a wooden Wells Fargo

Purdie, who jumped before the runa-

in the mail car, next behind the fish
car, escaped without injury. One man
received bruise on his leg.
The impact was terrific, but the
runaway cars were going at such a
high rate of speed that when they
struck the engine head-on they reared
into the air and spent their force in
that way.

Information was received at the Ore
gon Short Line offices here recently Of
the death of Engineer William Purdie
and Fireman Eugene Dare in wreck
twelve miles north of Lima, Mont, at
4:25 o'clock Sunday morning. No 9th

fact that the passenger coaches on

to advices, failed properly to set a de-
rail switch on side track at Lima, al

charge of Conductor w. F. Joans and
Engineer William Purdie, had left Kid

searchlight, sighted the runaway COM
ing down the grade at terrific rate.
He Immediately stopped the train, but
was unable to start backing it up
before the heavily loaded cars, were

but in the resultant crash was killed
instantly by flying piece of steel.
Fireman Dare remained in the cab

LlFOLLETTE LOST
BECAUSE Of HOUSER
Thus Declares Governor Nc
Govern Shows How He
Could Have Won.

Madison, Wis. June Ex-senator La
Follette's defeat in the Chicago con-
ventiOn is attributed by governor
+. L. McGOYern to the mis-
management Of his campaign man
ager." The governor said that Walter
L Houser, La Follette's campaign man
ager, is responsible for the election OF
senator Root and "of the whole caval-
cade Of calamitfes that followed"
Governor AdcGovern, in a long state
ment in justification of his candidacy
for temporary chairman of the national
convention, held figures tending to
show that had he been chairman, the
net Taft strength would have been
$50 and the net Roosevelt strength 40.
Had I been elected Temporary chair
man. said governor McGOYern, i
would have ruled that the IS contested
delegates should have been disqualified
until lawfully seated There would, of
course, have been an appeal from the
decision of the chair, but to support
$50 Taft delegates, while to sustain the
chair the Roosevelt, Cummins and La
Toilette delegates would have been
united and the chair sustained.
The contests thereupOn would have
been referred to the committee on ere
dentials, which would have brought, as
IL did, a majority and a minority re-
port The Taft men would have tried
to secure the adoption of the majority
report in each instance, but without as
sistance they had not votes enough to
ACCOMPLISH this result.
The Roosevelt men would have tried
IN each instance to secure the adoption
ner, without assistance, they had not
votes enough to do so. Who held the
balance Of power? Clearly the La Fol

the sinister influences which had been
at work in the Republican national
convention at Chicago were operating
even more braZenly at Baltimore. But
he added. the Democratic party could
not by run by the Ryans or bought by

clared, were represented in the selec-
