; " HCCHEf? VICTORY. , t
Generally speaking, wore people re
joiced over the election of Governor
Hushes,' than ''they did over Taft'a suc
cess. This was natural. The -democrats
were loyal to their leader, but
Hushes bA made a great fight for de
cency and It would have been a blight
on good citizenship' of Nw York state
to have defeated him. Nevertheless,
the gamblers put p a terrible fight
and tbtlr candidal. Mr. Chanler. wax
a bright, capable, clean man, and thl
gave them a wonderful leverage, Tvt,
under the circumstances, 50,000 for
Hughes, places th great Empire stat
on a moral plane that the country 1
proud of. Hughes and Rooevelt are
great fighters for right, and the coun
try Is under lasting obligations to both.
They have mode it easy for other to
follow. '

After every previous defeat It ha
"been predicted that Bryan would be
permanently retired, but ne one is
brave enough in the face of our past
history to make such a prediction at
"this time.1 Mr. Bryan has been hon
ored by his party as no : other , man,
and while he has led them to defeat
thrice, who can say with any degree of
knowledge that another could nave
accomplished more. , .
Unless the official '. count makes
jsome change. Taft will carry every
county In Oregon. ' Roosevelt did like-

SCHEDULE
Contrary to rumors, and published
assertions, local officiate know little
or nothing about the time that the
new tain service Into Wallowa county
will go Into effect. The orders have
not been Issued yet from headquarters
and until they are, no one knows def
initely what the scedule will be. In all
porbablllty there will be no continua
tion of the service beyond Wallowa,
until the road Is ballasted on to Jos
eph. When such Is the case, one
mixed train will leave. La Grande and
a similar train will leave Joseph each
morning, the crews laying over at the
other terminus each night. .
Who Will Got Run.
There Is some discussion on foot as
to who will get the third run... Con
ductors Grady and Gulling will be
given first choice,' and In all likeli
hood Mr. Gulling will hande the mixed
Grande, and Mr. Grady will stay on
the logging train. The third man will
have to spend each flunday In Joseph.
James Conner Is the "net man Xip"
for the run. ' ,s : ' :
