The primary election in Oregon last
Friday to elect delegates to the Ma
tional political conventions and ex-
press the peoples preference for Pres
idcnt showed practically unanimous
sentiment among Democrats for Pres
ident Wilson. Among the Republic
cans Justice Hughes was decidedly in
the lead, distancing Senator Cummins
Of Iowa by about $4,000, who re-
ceived twice as many votes as former
Senator Burton of Ohio. The vote re-
ceived by Colonel Roosevelt from Re-
publicans is reported as negligible,
but on the Progressive ballot he re-
ceived the full vote of that party as
its choice for nominee.

as declaring that he had about reach

People who imagine that Bryan is
disposed to make trouble at the DEM

character of the man in vain. He has
the courage Of his convictions, but
no one ever accused him Of being
either fool or an iconoclast.

by the Vienna Zeitung as follows:
'In accordance with my agreement
with His Majesty the German Empe-

from Russian domination. On this oc-

the great and heavy sacrifices which
this land, which, exposed to violent
hostile attack, had to make for the vic

are undoubtedly the reason for these
separate peace rumors. Russia has fall
en- into the net of England, and is now
unable to act by her own will. For this
reason peace can only come when Rus

formly asserts that this decision will
come in 1917.
IF our enemies hope that we shall al
low them to make preparations during
the winter they are mistaken. The war
will go on in order to hurry decision.
I shall not prophesy as to the conse-
quences which will arise from the menace
to Bessarabia and the Ukraine. but I re-
peat that 1t is only in consequence Of
a hopelessly bad military situation that
Russia will be forced to conclude peace

district court will hear charges of
fraud and breach of faith on the part
of the directors of the Boston & Maine
Railroad, brought by minority stock
holders in competition with their pro-
test against the roads receivership.
Judge Morton today announced that
the hearing, which will take the form
of a trial with witnesses and evidence
to be produced by both sides, will be
held here Dec. 5.
The case came up today on the ques-
question of making permanent the
present temporary receivership of the
road. Decision on this point will be de-
ferred pending determination of the
minority's charges.
When asked by the court whether
the minority stockholders would be OBJ
liged to seek in the corporations books
proof of their charges, Attorney Con-
rad w. Croker stated that evidence
sufficient to sustain their allegations
was already at hand, but that other
issues of fraud might be developed by
further investigation.
