'.v; WANTED A LEADER Minnesota Democrats Searching for Johnson Type of Democrat Minneapolis, Minn., July 29 Wheth er the Democratic party In Minneso ta will "come back" is a question which the delegates to . today's state convention In this city will try to answer satisfactorily. The death of the most famous chief executive Mm- nesota has ever had, the lamented John A. Johnson, has left the Jjarty bereft of a popular leader. To find a man who can take Johnson's place Is admitted a difficult matter. It Is sig nificant that today's convention also markB the birthday anniversary of the late Governor Johnson. ; Several men are willing to accept . the gubernator ial nomination, but apparently none of the measure iip to Johnson's sta ture, and, as Minnesota Is normally republican, the chances M- a repltl tlon of the string of democratic vic tories In state elections of the John Bon era are not so good as when the Swedish-American son of a washer woman was the standard-bearer.

ADULT VICTIM DEATH OF DREADED DISEASE, OC- -v CURS AT HOT LAKE Well Known Pendleton Man Sue. eumbs to Dreaded Malady Acute antelor polio myelltles has claimed another victim In . Union county, when W. Roy Saxton, a well known Umatilla county man died at Hot Lake yesterday of the disease. J. W Campbell and Manrlce Scroggs of Pendleton were in the city this morning to receive the Saxton body, and the remains were taken to Pen dleton, where the funeral will be held. The committee Is composed of prom inent Pendleton Elks, and they were lent all possible assistance by the La Grande lod?e. When the news of the young en- gineer's death reached Pendleton, It produced a profound shock amon? thoso who knew htm. F?w if any on- !n the city knew he was ill and In danger. Ha had gone to Hot Lake last Thursday, and at that time, ac cording to his friend Maurice Scrog?s of Hermtston, was complaining ol feeling unwell. He felt he was threat ened with typhoid fever and went to the sanitarium to recuperate. Night before la3t Scroggs was at the bed side of his friend at Hot Lake. At that time Saxton was delirious but recog nized his friend. The case at that time was diagnosed as typhoid feyer but it is now understood that ho was arfllcted with myelitis a disease now more or less prevalent In Eastern Ore gon and which has usually proven f'al. Mr. Saxton has been in Pendleton or rather Hermtston for the past four or five years. He was a civil engin eer and has been engaged in the recla mation service on the Ilermlston pro ject. He was an exemplary young man and very popular with his tellow engineers and many friends tn Pem'.Ie- ' ton auu nHh"" v, KILL SLUMP PORTLAND BUYER PREDICTS TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT July and .August Prices Will Brlug More than Season-End Prices Portland.

Portland Jail Is not the most desirable of Maine summer resorts, perhaps, but It is a highly deslrab'e abode to John li. Tuttle, alias O'Brien and he will leave its grateful shade regretfully when his sentence expires tomorrow. For John will be called upon to face two wives, and the prison term for lar ceny which he has been serving Is but a drop in the bucket of his misery and tears. ';..,, : ' As John H. Tuttle. it Is alleged that the prisoner married Hattle Turner, a pretty 21-year-old girl, on April 18. 1909. That was one wife. Again on May 5 last Tuttle, who In the mean time had adopted the alias of O'Brien, wooed and won Miss Anmle Fraser, a! so 21 years of age. of this city, and the twain were maid one at Old Orchard on May 23. U is likely that Tuttle will face a bigamy charge when his term exnires tomorrow. Better pris on than liberty, 'with two outraged and Indignant wives on the war path. thinks Tuttle, " Teachers Fight Board of Education Jersey City, N. J., July 28.
