ATTACKS Procedure,

ALBANY. Sept. 24.-At the sugges-
tion Of Chief Justice Cullen Of the
court of appeals. the Impeachment
court today by vote of AZ to seven
decided to defer the decision of the
legality Of the impeachment articles
until after all evidence against Gov
! ernor Sulzer is in.
Attorney Austin Fox closed the ar
guments for Sulzer before the court
decided to withhold its decision on the
legality OF the impeachment.
He said "The suggestions that an
official can be held answerable to acts
prior to his assumption of office is
revolutionary and unheard of | am
loath to believe this court will APP
prove such a doctrine"
He quoted Judge Parkers argu,
ment that the constitutional conven-
ton in 1886 removd all limitation on
the state senate's power of impeach-
ment.
III this be true" Fox added. then
the limitations of the present crimi,
nal code will operate in the present
case"
Fox's argument was the strongest
made since the impeachment began.
Chief Justice Cullen suggested de-
lay because in his opinion the ques.
tions raised were such that they
couldn't be decided off-hand.
Attorney Richards in opening the
prosecution, denounced SuIzer in vio-
lent language.
HE employed bagmen to scour the
state for contributions to his cam
paign fund.- declared Richards, "and
he held a bag himself open to 10000
as well as $4,000 contributing. He did
more than collect funds. He intended
to keep them to buy stocks and sup
ply margins for his stock specula-
tions"
Attorney Richards reviewed the
charges against Sulzer and attacked
the governor personally.
"As high as his office. as high as
his position" he shouted, 1--WE are
prepared to prove low, sortTid crimes
against William Sulzer. The chief Of
fense is plain fraud, larceny and per-
jury"
Managers of the impeachment pro-
ceedings have subpoenaed managers
of local telegraph offices to produce
kilograms sent by Sulzer and his wife
to his private secretary. John Hen
messy and James Garrison during
June, July and August and thus far
in September.

viewed today concerning a statement
attributed to senators from Utah that
Colonel Roosevelt will be the repub-
lican nominee for president in 1916.
the concensus of opinion among poll
ticians was sit all depends"
THE question was put point blank
to the colonel by a progressive con-
gresham whether he would accept
the republican nomination" said Con-
gresham Kelly of Pennsylvania. The
colonel gave the questioner every as
surance that such an event was most
improbable but did not answer cate
gorically. Personally 1 believe the re-
port is nothing more than buncomb
intended to distort the issue between
the republicans and the progressives.
But even the loss of Roosevelt would
not destroy the progressive party"
L believe that If the republicans
are to win the next election, some pro-
gressive must lead the party, such
leader as La Toilette, Roosevelt, Cum
minis, Borah or any other prominent
progressive would be acceptable" said
Senator Gronna of North Dakota.

The members of the board have in

says Marion Jack. "As matters

G. |. LaDow would be lad If his lu-

1t would be poor business To do away
with the commission at this stage OF

FRIENDS OF GRAVITY WATER
WANT new CHARTER TO LET
WATER BOARD FINISH ITS JOB

II members of the commission char
ter committee insist on the idea that
the water commission should be abol-
ished at once and before. the contract
for the gravity water system has been
completed they will probably again
wreck the commission government
cause as far as 1t pertains to Pendle-
ton. This is the sentiment of host
of local people and the number Is
rapidly growing as the prospect OF vot-
ing on the new charter draws near.
The friends of gravity water for
Pendleton resent the suggestion Of the
charter subcommittee which is that
the water commission be abolished at
once II the new charter Is adopted,
They look upon the move as one in
spired by foes of a good water supply
and they are putting on their fight
ing clothes 1t is openly declared to-
day by numerous friends of commits
sion government that the new charter
will be voted down unless the water
board is allowed to finish it's work.
They point out that no good can come
from making n change OF control In
this instance and that there is danger
the water SYSTEM may be delayed If
the change Is made before the work
IS finished. 1t Is urged the present
commission be left in charge of affairs
until the contract for the new system
has been completed and the job ac-
cepted by the city. After that time
there will be no objection to having
the full control of the water depart
ment fall upon the city commission.
II favor leaving the water commits
sion In charge as at present until the
contract for the gravity system has
heen completed" declares j. v. Tall
man, president of the Commercial
Club who is also member of the
charter drafting committee. In the
view Of Mr.. Tallman the commission
charter was defeated two years ago
largely by people who feared the char
ter then proposed because 1t provided
for abolishing the water board. He
