TENCY1S LAGI Speech Made bj Chamberlain Last Ev ening Scarcely Attended and Gen- Hard Siwfi Filled lth Incon sistencies "Conventions" His Theme and Topis Is Poorly Handled That old-time faith in George E. Chamberlain 1a 'gone; - those ' packed houses which at .one time In hla ca reer greeted him at every "appear ance in -La Grande are. scrolled on the annals of history and not existing facts; where once he" (George) held his audiences to the last word, vot ers filed out in the middle of his ad dressthese salient facts cropped out so emphatically last night at the Chamberlain-Manning ' party at the Steward opera house that today ev en the Democrats are forced to admit that the affair is startling in its scope. There were a few out, It wasn't entire ly an empty house that Chamberjaln and Manning wanted to vote the Democratic ticket. .There were 100 men or . so mostly Republicans at that and a large number of them didn't stay the addresses out "Conventions" was Chamberlain's theme, and he handled it so poorly that Instead of making votes for his Democratic brethern he 'caused a general, stampede the other way ,and It is common gossip today that Cham berlain "fell down" worse than It has been hla luck to fall before. "Non Partisan" George wanted the Demo cratic ticket elected ; he wanted West elected and the supreme judges elect ed; he wanted every man on the tick et who had been suggested by the assembly kiboshed. It Is natural to suppose judging from hla statement, that Chamberlain la not antagonizing Republicans who opposed the assem bly at the primaries, but no, Poor Charlie Barret who ' fought the as sembly tooth and nail must be rele gated and M. K. Hall, Democrat, elect ed In hla stead, NW to paraphrase Doctor Seeman, we would, say "Oh consistency, thou art -a Jewel." Then too, Mr. Chamberlain advised other things which the voters should do, all to the advantage of the "one FIRST PAYMENT IS OYER $18,000 ; - CONSIDERABLY. - Six Months Today Since School Bond ' Issue was Let to Bayers..

"Bowerman la my friend; a warm friend; I have known hjm for years," said Mr. Chamberlain. "But, he Is a political trickster whom I dare not trust." Here another application of consistency might not be amiss, for by hla own assertion, Chamberlain says a "trickster" - is hia "warm friend." ' - . . , HOMESTEAD OUTFIT COMES.
