SALEM RESTORES
|DAHOAN'S HEALTH

About a month ago Mr.. and
Mrs. w. F. Merritt of Blackfoot,
Ida, registered at the Salem auto
park. Mr.. Merritt. painter by
trade, found work here so they de-
cided to remain in Salem for a
time. Mrs. Merritt was i'll, the re-
suit of threatened nervous
breakdown and 1t was thought
best that she live in the open, so
the tent was put up in the park
and they have called 1t home ever
since arriving here.
Now Mrs. Merritt cannot say
enough for Salem and Oregon. She
is able to do all the cooking ana
judging from the way she gets
around one would never guess that
she ever had been sick. She says
that she believes that the warm
weather is responsible for heI
health. Each day, even when Sa-
lem residents thought that they
would smother if change did not
come soon, Mrs. Merritt would
take her chair and go out in the
open where there was no danger
Of trees casting shade upon her
and sit in the sun several hours al
time. She always said that she
felt great deal better after the
sun baths.
But now Mrs. Merritt is begin
ming to notice the cold nights and
it will not be long before she anC
her husband will be heading FOL
Sunny California" for the win
ter. Both are definitely decided
however, that they will return tt
Salem next spring as soon as .th'
rains are over.

KLAN The ISSUE
TEXAS ELECTION

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 2.-Tht
Texas political pot, which has
been silent since the July % dem
ocratic primary in which Senator
Charles A. Culberson failed of re-
nomination after "a years in the
United States senate, began boil
ing again today with the opening
of the campaign for the second, or
run-off primary, to be held Au-
gust 26, in which prohibition and
the Ku Klux Klan apparently will
be important issues.
In firing their opening gun last
night, the two seekers for the SEN
atorial nomination, Earle B. May
field and James e. Ferguson, out
lined what is generally believed
will be the principal features of
the campaign.
Mayfield, speaking at Fort
Worth, declared the transporta-
tion question was the biggest
problem before the American peo-
pie today on account of the "un-
reasonable rates saddled upon
commerce by the Interstate COM
merce commission" Prohibition
is another important question he
declared, in criticsing Ferguson,
who he said had the backing of
American brewers.

NjTO TOURISTS
SAY MONTANA
CROPS FAILURE

TOR the past three years Mon
..na crops have either been com
.,otaly dried up or SO badly hurt
mat expenses were hardly made,
IA according to reports from
,o,lrists registering at the Salem
(, auto park. it looks as If some parts
Il the state were going to expert
orce a repetition of the hot
weather and dought this year.
MIR. and Mrs. M. w. Maynerd
If Pablo, Mont, ieft the Rocky
mountain state early in the spring
and at that time they say the
prospects for a bumper crop were
good. An extra heavy amount of
snow had fallen in the winter and
there were frequent rains during
the spring and early summer. A
newly formed real estate firm at
Poison was eneSuraging settle
ment and many well to do farmers
from the middle west were expect
ing to locate on the Flathead In
dian reservation.
Very adverse reports are begin
ming to come from the district
west of the diYide, however. Mr.,
Maynerd says that about two
weeks ago he received a letter
from his father at Pablo in which
he said that the weather had turn
ed extremely hot and that no rain
had come for some time to relieve
the situation with the result that
all the spring grain had Deen
burned up and that the winter
grain would bring but about naIr
the yield expected at first.
Some of tine districts south of
Flathead lake have resorted to ir-
rigation and in several cases, Mr..
Maynerd says 10 acres of alfalfa
are bringing the farmer big Es-
turns. With the water it is possi-
Bile to raise three crops of the
hay and no better feed for dairy
stock or sheep is to be found. Con-
seQuently the alfalfa hay always
command a top price.
other tourists state that crops
in the eastern part of the state are
better than ever before. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Amrein and son of Amster-
dam, N. ", reported that i'll cross
ing Montana they encountered a
great deal of rainy weather espe-
cially in the eastern part of the
state. In one case the road was
SO muddy that they had to be
pulled by a mule team for over
half a mile.

cred at the Salem auto park last

compared to the task which con-
fronts Halls attorneys in proving
fraud and bad intent on the part
Of each individual voter.
The challenges OF votes already
recounted have come under the
following general classifications:
ballots enormously counted
for Olcott 307.
2-Ballots cast for Hall and re-
iected by the election boards so.
3-Votes cast for Olcott on
democratic ballots 81.
4-Ballots counted for Olcott in
excess of the total number cast in
the precinct 80.
5-Republican ballots cast for
Olcott by non-republicans 81.
6-Ballots cast for Olcott by
voters acting in bad faith 1877.
The mere process of recounting
the ballots has branded as
| lgroundless all of the challenges
coming under the first four of the
above classifications. 1t now re-
mains for the Hall forces to call
each of the voters named in the
ftxth and sixth classifications be-
fore the court, together with wit
nesses and prove that their vote
was influenced, that they acted il
bad faith in changing their reg
lstration from one party to anoth
er, or that they voted without be
ing legally entitled to a vote.
Courts Rulings.
The court has ruled that no mis-
take on the part of the election
officials in allowing a voter tc
cast his ballot without complying
with all of the technicalities OF
registration, or reregistration can
invalidate voters ballot provid-
ed the voter acted in good faith.
The only conclusion that can be
reached from the evidence OF
fraud so far submitted by the Hall
forces is that the evidence Of IL
legal voting and fraud was either
manufactured out Of thin air and
proceedings started with a prayer
that developments would substan-
tiate and give it a basis In fact,
or irresponsible klansmen and 9TH
er investigators furnished the al
legations by crediting unsubstan-
| tiated rumors as facts.
Ku Klux Objects.
That the Ku KIuxers may have
hoped to force Olcott and his
friends into defaulting by reason
Of the unreasonable expense forced
upon them by the contest is possi-
BILE, but it is more likely that they
hoped to create public sentiment
adverse to Olcott that would split
The republican party so wide as to
defeat the governor in the general
election. If the latter was their
purpose they have failed by reason
Of the farcial nature of their con-
test, which is losing rather than
gaining strength for their cause.
One outstanding feature of the
recount has been the accuracy of
the work of the election boards IN
talying their votes, as revealed by
the recheck. Only II errors out
Of 1922 votes for the two candi-
dates counted have been revealed,
and these SO scattered as to make
ridiculous any assertion of a CON
spiraey by election officials to fav-
or either candidate.
