Three newspaper men are being mentioned for Congress In the Sec ond District "to try conclustion with Representative Ellis. These are Edi tor Detlinger of the Astoria Astorian; B. E. Kennedy, of the Baker City Herald and Frank Davy, of the Har ney County News. Other papers are yet to be heard from. This is the -first time that so many quill driver have been discussed 'n relation wit'n a Congressional nomination In many years, and the'reporta hiay give Rep resentative Hawley some uneasiness, as there are many newspapers In the First district who may advance .can didates against him, says the Port land Telegram. - , . ., Mr 'Bellinger, who has been a res ident of Astoria for many, years, am! has been Identified with politics 'In Clatsop county, will be more pleasing to the people of that , county than some one from Eastern Oregon, for Astoria wants appropriations. Mr. Kennedy has been talked of consld- erably of late. Kennedy has been ac- t tlve In state politics, though .never I holding a public ofnee, and has been ? a progressive Republican. Frank -1 Davy. ex-Sneaker of the House, and several times a member of the Ore eon Legislature, is now a resident 1 of Eastern Oregon, located at Burns I .Davy Is, perhaps,, the best known of j the three newspaper men In Port f land through his work In the Legts V lature when he represented Marlon county, and for his campaigning for i the Republican ticket on various oc ; caslons. Since Ellis has shaved off his flowing patiiarchtal whiskers, which ; formerly served as a chest protector ; the newspaper men figure that they ' have an even chance with Ellis on the farmer vote. Of course, George ) Sheppard will be a candidate until ; he Is elected. Shepard Is not an edl ' tor, however, so he Is not In the same class with Delllnger, Kennedy or Dav There are not a few In . this city who are firmly of the opinion that athletlce take entirely too prominent a position in our public schools. IK) this as It may, there is no qutestion but that from 300 to GOO people turn out to witness a football game be tween Baker City and La Grande. To morrow evening In the Presbyterian church the debating teams of Baker City and La Grande will contest for oratorical honors, do you Imagine there will be 600 present? It Bhould be and It Is the duty of the citizens of this city to see that the house Is crowded.' " If you have not personally Investi gated the crowded condition In our school rooms, you have only one lay more to do' so before you vote on the bonds. Until you make such an examination you are not In a position to Intelligently vote against a matter that has been carefully examined In to by a committee of our largest tax jtayers and Interested In the future of the city. The committee made the examination and filed a report of the conditions as they found them and asked that $74,000 be expended upon improvements and new buildings. "., If all the snow should happen to go. off with a t warm rain and not wash out a score or more of bridges and run through the streets of the city "and fill all of our cellars and tie up the j railroads . for. several weeks, some will be disappointed, However, these things have occurred In the past. i 4 The qualifications of voters at the school bonding election Saturday are tax payers, men and women. ; The polls are only open from 1 until 4. o'clock In' the afternoon.

Mayor Daniel W. Layler, who ha:-. been engaged 'as' a counsel by th swlthchmen, gave to press the fol lowing statement: "The railroad managers committee fully .realizing,, the, force of public opinion and teams, it, .are. making i concentrated effort through newspa per items , and editorials to charge, the switchmen .with unfairness be cause they have dek-lned to submll to arbitrate under the Erdmaiv.net. 1 he "switchmen could easily retort by saying truthfully that the mana geiB are in no position to make this complaint for the reason that the managers from the very commence ment of the controversary have re fused to make any advances or con elder any suggestion relative to in Increase In wages. With regard, how ever, to arbitrate under the Erd man law, anybody s who reads that statute will readily understand why the switchmen have consistently re fused to proceed under It. It la, a very catchy and taking proposition to claim thut where two parties have a controversy they should be willing to submit to arbitration The arbl tratlon provided for under the Erd man law, however, Is hedged about with legal provisions which would strip the switchmen of all power t3 legitimately press their claims, and It would put them completely In the power of the railroad companies. Admitting that the decision were fav orable to the switchmen, the rail road companies, under section 4 of the Erdman law, could within 10 days after the filing of the award In the clerk's office of the circuit court of this district file exceptions and take an appeal to the circuit court and If the decision still went against them, they could take an appeal to the circuit court ; of appeals. This would delay the final decision for a period of from one to two years. It would be unlawful for the switch men or any member of the switch men's union to strike, or In any way aid a strike, .Under the first, pro viso of . section 3 of the act, it Is provided: That pending the arbitra tion the status existing Immediately prior to the dispute shall not be changed. That ' means that during the period Just mentioned the switch men would be compelled to work at the old schedule of weges and un der all the conditions of which they complain In other words, If the POSITION THE GEORGE PALMER RETAIL DEPARTMENT We Solicit Ycur Orders for SHIfGLES 1 UBBEROID ROOFING DEADENiNG FELT BUILDING PAPER 7a an rifftrM faral vA Ilm asaurkl wrvmt&?. m Maa a. switchmen were to put their heads Into this noose they would be com pelled to accept the present sched ule nd- present comlifioha for a period of from one to two years, and would surrended the right to strike during that time.. President Taft, when a judge, said in one of his fa mous decisions that the right to strike was one. of the most precious rights of manhood and citizenship. In view of the operation of the ar bltartlon clause of the Erdman act, the switchmen would be untrue to themselves and to those whom they represent if they accepted it. The moment the public understands that the switchmen 'have not refused to arbitrate but have refused arbitra tion under the Erdman act, and have tefused' to commit suicide, the at tempt of the manager's committee to enlist public opinion againBt the switchmen will fail " " ' ; !
