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.

a-statement, regarding the present
status of county option fight which he
lost at the convention. He said the
failure of the democratic convention
to endorse county option- was disap-
nointlng. but the fight was not in vain,
it helped score a declaration favoring
the Initiative and referendum by Dotn
parties and there Is no doubt but such
necessary amendment will be sunmu-
tPd at the next legislature. "We must
now aecure county option delegates. In

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-

KILL SLUMP
PORTLAND BUYER PREDICTS
TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT
July and .August Prices Will Brlug
More than Season-End Prices
Portland. July 28. Theodore ,WU
cox, president of the Portland Flour
Ing Mills, and the' biggest wheat buy
er on the coast, said today that far
"mers who sell In July and ' August.
will receive more for grain than those
who hold. He said, It was Just like
last year when people were too excit
ed over high prices, when ircal and
foreign conditions do not Justify It.
H) Intimated that, there will be an
other slum? at the season's close like
last year. Wilcox would profit by a
sharp advance of wheat as he holds
nearly a million bushels of wheat and
flour, for which high prices last year
were paid.
Must Face Two Wives.
Portland, Me., July 28. 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.
