Mr. Williams, who had been bed-ridden for the past three years, died Tues day night in the Deaconess hospital in Salem, to which he had been con veyed from his home In this city only a few hours before. He was 90 years old and one of the few remaining "fortyniners." He tried mining for a while, but soon found that growing- garden stuff for the miners was more profitable.

Kay Brands Plan l Feel Out Legislature Aspirants as "Pure ly Machine Politics." SALE NT. Or., May S. (Special.) Every legislative candidate in at .tendance at the -.TnocUng of the Marion county taxpayers' league here today flatly refused to mtet the demands of JJ'the leaguers and disclose their atti r.lude toward the several tax measures i'to be submitted to the voters of Ore ""' gon at the special election on May 21. T. B. Kay, candidate for representa-"-i;vo from Marion county, piotested w'against the action of the league in demanding to know how the several ".-asptrant3 for legislative honors would ""vote on tne measures at Issue. "Your action is a step backward "xZ and in favor of the convention sys 'tem," said Mr. Kay, "and is contrary to the primary laws of this state; it is machine politics pure and simple and I, for one. will meet conditions 1, us they arise and cast my ballot ac 'corUingly, If it is your purpose to se V lect for office only those men who JT.will commit themselves in advance ou can count me out." Otbrr Agree Wltb Kay. Frank Davey concurred in the statements of Mr. Kay as did Ivan '.Martin. Sam Hughes and all of the nAuhcr candidates in attendance at the .session. When it was discovered that none of the candidates could be brought under tiie league plan, the demands were tempered to the extent that each man was asked whether he would strive to serve his district as eco nomically as was consistent with good business. This, the candidates pledged to lt. Judge P. S. Parcy, who has been quoted quite extensively as being op posed to the educational tax' meas ures, declared that his original state ments were distorted and that news paper reports growing out of his ad dress at a previous meeting of the league were untrue. Judge Uarcy taid that while he did not believe in the higher educational tax he always had been a strong supporter of the common schools. Steam Roller Is Charged. Colonel ofer said there was in existence ui Portland a so-called State Taxpayers' league, which in -reality is a steam roller. The purpose of this league, he said, was to see that all of the measures on the ballot are carried at the next election. Already, Mr. Hofer said, the league had in dorsed every tax measure on the bal . lot. As a finale to the meeting, the leaguers adopted a resolution provid ing that a committee of the body should counsel with the candidates and work with them in tho legisla ture. Because of the protest of Mr. Kay, the league made no attempt to in dorse any of the candidates for legis lative positions. There are 11 candi dates for these berths in Marion coun ty, with five to be elected. v ith the possible exception of the elementary school measure, sent! ment of the league is opposed to all tax measures on the ballot at the special election. The fate of the for mer bill, as far as the Marion county league is concerned, will depend upon future investigation as to whether the 2-mill tax is really needed to in sure the operation of the elementary schools.
