MARION LEGISLATORS
CONFER WITH EATON
Met This Afternoon to Talk Over His
Candidacy for Speaker Of the House
and win Probably Support Him.

The Marion county delegation, com.
posed Of the members Of the house OF
representatives. are in session this aft
ernoon for the consideration of some
important matters Of legislative ma.
ture, but the principal object Of the
meeting is to confer with Allen Ii.
Eaton, of Eugene, in the interest Of
his candidacy for speaker OF tho next
house of representatives Of the legisla.
ture. While no definite information
could be gained II is pretty safe to
predict that the Marion county delego.
tion will support Mr.. Eaton solidly and
that, IL Mr. Eaton's deductions at the
present date are correct, he will be the
next speaker.
Some time ago IL was given out that
the Marion county delegation would
support the MultnOmah delegation ,
choice for speaker, but at that time
Ben Selling was considered likely to be
its choice. u has since developed, how
ever, that the Multnomnh county dele
CATION is all split up with four Of It's
members uctive candidates for the

ing and Oieson--and they cannot conc
together upon any one of them. Eaton
who was candidate for speaker foui
years ugo and who was defeated by O
very small margin, is considered the
strongest candidate In the field today
and Il is Il pretty good bet that the
Marion county delegation will stand
behind him in body
The meeting will also probably ngre'
to support the new amendment to The
present registration laws Of the state
which will provide that citizen vote

TURKEY Went TO WAR
ON HER OWN ACCOUNT
Has Everything TO Gain and
Small Chances Of Losing
in the Game

Rome, Nov. 1O.-(By mail to New
York. Turkey IS no catspaw for
Germany in this war.
This was the statement here today Of
an Italian, long resident in Constanti
nOple and but recently returned from
there, who, on account of extensive
business interests in various European
countries, asked that his name be with
held.
"There seems to be an Impression
throughout the rest Of EUROPE" he
continued, "that the Germans dragged
Turkey into the conflict and intend to
sacrifice her, if necessary, when the
proper time comes, and that the Turks
do not understand this.
"Maybe Germany did drag Turkey
into the war, and may be also it does
intend to sacrifice the latter country
if it seems to be to German interests
to do so. / can t say as to that but l
can and do say that the Turks did not
need much dragging. And / do also
say that they have no notion Of being
sacrificed.

Caught like a giant in a trap, largely

worthy source, ! gather that Germany
is very much dissatisfied, but is un
able now either to force the issue oil
to withdraw.
The only remedy fols Germany would
be a decisive battle, which it cannot
compel, owing to its extended lines
