Having secured a Judgment against Dunbar, McMuhon will next aim lila butteries at Chamber lain. "Chamberlain saye he hue done a lot for the people and saved them money," remarked Mr. Dunbar to an Oregonian retireecntatlve. "Ilul he hua done noth ing to save tm people from Ihe graft of those olllcera and alanda In with them. "I can show that Chamberlain could have saved thn people of thla state 1390.. una, which wna glutted from them by auccesalve Becretaiiea of Hlale In Ihe lust :o years.

"He ought to he compelled to return thla money to Ihe sin to. It Is not his, but Ihe people's, and he ought to be ashamed to take It. It la the same kind of graft aa Dunbnr'a $170,000. Hut that Is the reason he stood In with Mcllrlde, Kln- cald and Dunbar. "1 wish very much to win theae suit. lo show the servnnta of the people of Oregon that the law must ge obeyed.

And see ithelr childish Joys, We think upon the time when we Like them were girl . and boy. And what a glorious time we had When to the school we went. Our lesson i never troubled ua. On play our minds were bent. We played at tag. and other game, And made a dreadful noise, And sometimes teacher called up ui, Then we were sorry boy. I often think upon rh time When we were young like them. The girl have now to women grown The boy have grown to men. Now sterner duties take the place Once filled with childish Joys. Hut what a Jolly time we had When we were girls and boy. ERNEST MATTIIIES RETAINS LICENSE COUNCIL LAY8 PETITION OF MRS. NEHREN ON THE TABLE, AS DAMAGE SUIT IS PEND ING.

NO DEMOCRAT FOR HIM Multnomah County Man Asks the Gov ernor to Faithfully Adhere to HI Campaign Thunder and Line up With Republicans. Dr. Luther M. Davis, who Is a Repub lican and was elected as Repreaentatrva on a Statement No. 1 platform, ask the people' choice for United States Sena tor whether If the Legislature should rat ify his election, he will faithfully adhere to his campaign statement as a "Roose velt Democrat," and line up with Roose velt principles and the Republican party. Dr. Davis assert that In hi pre-election speeches the Governor led the peo ple to believe that he Is sincerely a Roose velt man, thereby gaining many Repub lican votes, but that a there la no such party aa "Roosevelt Democrat," Mr. Chamberlain muat be a Roosevelt Re publican. "Waa this a sincere, truthful state ment upon your part, or was It a decep tive political statement to catch the. pop ular vote?" queries the Representative. In an Interview In the Portland Tele gram, Dr. Davla said: "Well, I will tell you how I feel about it. What I am trying to do now la to get Chamberlain to make hla position plain. I do not understand what I meant by a Roosevelt Democrat. He must tie either a Roosevelt Democrat or a Roose velt Republican. I feel that we are en titled to know which. "I will not vote for a Democrat for United States Senator. The term "non partisan' Is meaningless to me. Person ally he Is a good fellow, and IJike him. He is a hale fellow well met. a man who always extends the glad hand and puts up a nice talk, and thla has made him popular. Rightly so, too, for we all like that kind ol a man. His winning way has made him many votes, no doubt. Per sonally, I admire him very much. "Now George went around the state during the campaign and put up a big talk of being a Roosevelt Democrat. In the rural districts this kind of talk made a hit. The country people thought it he was a Roosevelt man he muet be a pret ty good fellow, and they paid no atten tion to tfcs Democrat part. But 1 will not vote for a Democrat I do not believe I am bound In that way. I want Chiun bulain to commit himself that I all. Staten.ent No. 1 men are pledged, and" by hi own campaign talk he 1 pledged. I desire to know whether he will live up to that pledge and carry out Roosvelt's and Republican policies if elected by the Legislature to the United States Senate-." "But Statement No. 1 men are pledged. to vote for the people's choice, doctor. question before the election?" "Well, when we took our Statement No. 1 pledges I had no more idea that George Chamberlain would be elected United Statea Senator than that this roof over our heads is going to fall in right now. He did not make this claim of be ing a Roosevelt Democrat until after we were pledged to the people's choice. He made this kind of talk afterward In hie campaign throughout the state." 'Suppose he hud made no talk of be ing a Roosevelt Democrat in his cam paign, but had run on a straight Demo crat platform what would you regard aa the- logical position of Statement No. I Republicans then?" "In that event." quickly responded the Representative, "I should feel It my bounden duty to vote for him. and would do It no matter what happens. But be did not do that: he put io talk of be ing a Roosevelt Democrat, .and I think he should explain his position now. That is all." "Take it for mauled, for the sake of argument. Dr. Davis, that Mr. Chamber lain should explain his position Dy saying that he Is as much a Democrat -as ever. and merely meant by the term "Roose velt Democrat' that he Is an admirer of and believer in Roosevelt policies, what then?" "Well." he answered, "I should thing that In that event we Statement No. 1 Republicans would have a think coming. In that case. I believe we should get .to gether and talk the thing over. It is a question in my mind whether our pledge . could justly be regarded as binding ua if he should make that reply to my letter - 1 . . 1 .
