ON LA Toilette
MOVEMENT STARTED IN
OREGON FOR NOMINATION
Blank Petitions Received in Pendle-
ton From salem Man Which Wis
cOnsin's Supporters say is Plan to
Split PrOgressNcs.

What is styled by La Toilette men
in the city as a covert attack upon
their candidate for the presidency was
started here in Pendleton this after
noon when County Clerk Frank SAL
ing received a letter from E. Hofer,
Salem journalist and politician, en-
closing blank petitions for the nomi-
nation of Theodore Roosevelt and ask
ing that they be placed where regis
tered republicans may affix their
names.
Friends of the La Toilette movement
characterize this move as an attempt
TO split the ranks of progressive re-
publicans in order that the Taft forces
may have smooth sailing. Inasmuch
as Roosevelt has not announced his
candidacy and has done nothing to
justify the belief that he will make the
race. they declare the Hofer act as
smacking more of ingenious connivery
than an honest effort to put the
strenuous one" in the chief evecu-
tive's chair for a third term.
The Hofer letter reads as follows:
Il am enclosing some blank petiti-
ons for the nomination of Roosevelt
for president. Please put up the en-
closed poster where visitors can see it.
We desire the petitions for Mr.. Roose-
welt to be entirely unsolicited and vol

According TO shuster's Expressed
Wishes the Offending Baker Was
"ootteu Rid or

In his book, "The Strangling OF
Persia" W. Morgan Shuster, the
American who took such a promi-
nent part in Persian affairs a few
months ago, tells this: "ln connec-
ton with the bread supply a rather
grewsome incident occurred. The
chief baker of Teherau was one Of
the principal grafters in the 'munic-
ipal bread ring and a great trouble
maker for the treasury. He was a
man Of evil record, and reputed TO
have baked an offending subordinate
to death in his own oven on more
than one occasion. Speaking Of him
and his intrigues one day to several
prominent nationalists, l remarked
that he was the cause Of most Of the
trouble with the bread supply in the
capital, was feeding inferior bread to
the people, and that he should be
gotten rid of
ga morning or so afterward, on
entering my Office rather late, 1 was
informed by one Of my Persian as
sistants that the chief baker had
been killed in accordance with my
Wishes L leave the reader to I'M
agine my surprise and feelings. As
matter Of fact he had been assas-
sinated, and though 1 have no reason
to believe that my own remarks had
anything to do with his taking of,
l determined thenceforth to be more
cautious and precise in my language
"The unfortunate man was a muir
derer, and had waxed wealthy by
stealing from the poor; often starry
ing people of the city, so no great in
justice was, perhaps, done, but the
Interpretation put by my young Per.
sian friend on his untimely end gave
me quite a shock. From that time

HoRsE NOT DISAPPEARING.

AT the present time more than
20,000,000 horses would have to be
replaced before the automobile could
be in absolute monopoly. In 1900
there were over thirteen and half
million horses in this country. Ten
years later the number had increas-

fact is that their quality steadily
improves.
