FATHER MURDERED BIZ SON
Clearwater County Man Says Parent
"Hurt His Feelings"

Bemidji-Charged with the murder
of his father, Scott Porter, who is al
legged to have been shot in the temple
and then slashed with a knife, Jesse
Porter, 27 years old, has been brought
here from Ebro, Clearwater county,
for safe keeping against angry resi-
dents of that village. Questioning by
William A. McGlennon, Clearwater
county attorney, failed to establish a
motive, except that young Porter is
alleged to have said that his father,
aged 81, had continually hurt his
feelings" since the fathers second
marriage to young woman.
The shooting occurred while Scott
Porter and his young wife were talk
ing and laughing. Without warning,
Jesse is said to have seized shot
gun, pointed it within few inches of
his fathers temple and fired.

Butler Charges Stock Gamblers

NECESSARY TO DEFEAT
General Called Unhappy Victim of
Strong Arm Scheme and Another
Candidate Was Essential To
Save Party's Future.

New York-Charges that ga motley
group of stock gamblers, oil and min
ing promoters, munition makers and
other like persons seized upon so good
a man as General Wood and with reck-
less audacity started out to buy for
him the presidential nomination" were
made in statement by Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, an unsuccessful candidate
for the Republican nomination.
''It was the cause Of genuine sor-
row to me as to many other Of Gen
eral Woods personal friends" he said,
ito see him put in this unhappy posi-
ton. There was nothing to do in or
der to save the Republican party, but
to defeat the band of men that were
behind him with their bank accounts
and their great financial influence.
This meant that we had to defeat Gen
eral Wood himself"
"The chief task Of the cOnventlOn,'
the statement said, was to prevent
the sale of presidential nominations at
auction to the higher bidder. Had this
not been done the party faced not only
certain defeat, but crushing dishOnOr
The 68 New York delegates who voted
for me on the first ballot were the
chief factor in stopping the linden
burg drive to overwhelm the cOnven-
ton by the power of unlimited money
and by strOng-arm methods in prefer
entail primaries"
The statement points out that the
first ballot gave General Wood a sub
stantial lead, and that "the first task
therefore, was to bring the vote of his
nearest rival, Governor Lowden, at
least up to Woods vote
pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mich
igan and Ohio could not help LOwden,"
it added, because the release Of dele
gates in those states probably would
give Wood more votes than L0wden.
