During the recent primary cam

man, of The Dalles, In a circular let

legislature in the Interest of the cor
letter was that West worked against a
till for the regulation . of livestock
abipments, on the railroads a meas
ure demanded by and directly affect
Ins the livestock Interests of this
state. '
Judge Bennett's letter follows:
"The Dalles, Ore., Sept. 19 1
"'Ier irMsuu: i Know that many
democrats are In doubt as to who Is
the best and strongest candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket.
"Knowing both the candidates, Jef
ferson Myers and Oswald West, I
earnestly recommend Mr. Myers as the
trongest and best nominee for the po
dtlon. and I hope that you may at
tend the primaries and give him your
nipport as against Mr. West for the
"l have reason to believe that Mr.
West Is too close to the corporations
and that he is not in sympathy with
progressive democratic ideas. '
, "He went before the committee in
the last legislature and lobbied in the
Interest, of the corporation against a
ery good bill for the regulation of
livestock shipments on railroads,
which was being asked for by myself
mnd other livestock men, and for this
and other reasons I do not believe him
to be a proper man for democratic
candidate for the high office of gov
ernohr. "I think Mr. Myers, on the contrary
Is thoroughly honest, and. if nomi
nated and elected (as I believe is
possible) that he would take great
pride in making a good governor.
"I sincerely hope, therefore, that
you will not fall to be at the polls

state central committee with the
proxy of C. E. Cochran, George T,
Cochran is confident that Bowerman
will carry the state in November. The
meeting was an enthusiastic one, the
reorganization and other business be
ing transacted with dispatch. The out
look from the entire. state is that Jay
Bowerman is going to be elected, and
that the republicans will rally to his
support. Chairman Nottingham was
an anti-assembly man prior to the
election and was opposed to Bower
man, but he believes the primaries
is final as far as the republicans are
concerned and he Is now out whole
souled for Bowerman. C. E. Cochran
was named as a member of the state

Starlight King was greatly handi
capped last evening by poor light and
though the audience which witnessed
the animal's ."stunts" was greatly
pleased with the exhibition of the
high school horse. The fair manage
ment has voiced the wishes of the
people by clamoring for another per
formance and it is likely than an
exhibition will be given In daylight
during the latter part of the fair. .
However, the exhibition was good.
Starlight King can do exhibitions that
are above the ability of the average
trained horse that perform la circuses
and as the horse Is a local animal,
more interest is attached. However,

confined to natural resources, exclud
ing manufacturers, and the United
States got "distinctly the worst .of
the bargain."
In 1874,' the writer points out, an
other reciprocity treaty was proposed
but failed of ratification by the Unit
ed States senate. In 1891 Sir Alfred
Laurler, prime minister of Canada,
proposed "reciprocal and absolute
commercial, freedom, between Can
ada and the United States." But adds
the reviewer, "the general election
which ensued had a chastening effect
upon the party and taught it that the
country suspected that annexation
was lurking in the background."
After summing up the difficulties
In the way of reciprocity, the writer
Indulges the hope "that for the mo
ment, at any rate, this blow will be
averted," "If any such treaty is made,"
he continues, "it will be because the
Americans realize the enormous po
tentalitiee of Canada and are prepar
ed to make smaller demands with the
purpose of securing the future. The
outlook, from the Imperial point of
view, Is of the utmost gravity, and
yet the British people decline to say
the word which will banish forever all
such anxieties and establish the fu
ture of the empire."
Another writer on the same sub
ject says that "president Taft is ex
actly the Bort of man to succeed in
such a project. Heedless of the noise
and clamor of transient Issues, he is
silently working put a plan, which
may result In the annexation of Can
ada and win for him an immorality
greater by far than any fame to be de
rived from beating the tin-pans of
partisan politics."

ever been seen here at cheap prices.
The characters were all well por

Miss Bea Curtice as Tempest made
