HIS FRIENDS HADE SMALL EFFORT Of the 101 Delegates Elected la Sa lem, hot 15 Are Conceded to Be McBrlde Men. BAL.EM. Or., March a. The Republic an primary election In Salem today "was practically a. clean sweep against George "W. McBrlde for re-election to the TJnlted States Senate. The fonr Salem precincts, together with the six adjoining precincts, known collectively as the 10 Salem pre cincts, elected 101 delegates to the county convention. The hest estimate in iavor uj. McBrlde tonight is that possibly 15 of his friends win get seats in the county con vention from the Salem precincts. Of these 15, it is said that at least nine agreed, before being placed on the slates, not to support McBrlde for re-electton. The total number of delegates In the convention will be 256. In Salem, No. 2, McBrlde's stronghold. 18 delegates were elected. A leading Re publican worker, who is taking no part in the fight against the Senator's re election, said tonight that the McBrlde Legislative slate could not get a single vote out of the 18, unless an attempt should be made to pledge a. Legislative slate in favor of some other candidate. So far as McBrlde's friends are con cerned, tho election went by default. There was only one slate in each precinct, with the exception of Tew Park, where there were two. Some of the prominent McBrlde workers did not go to the polls, and in no case was there an attempt to elect a McBrido slate in the face of the opposition. Englewood, with 12 delegates, is claimed by some to be half McBrlde, though this is denied. There was no op position to the slate presented. In Tew Park, where two slates were In the field, George "W. Davis, a support er of both Tongue and McBrlde, was on one of the slates. The fight was made on him and he was defeated with his ticket, by a vote of 26 to 36. Although the county precincts have not all been "heard from, it is generally stated by political workers in Salem, tonight that there Is no chance of a McBride Leg islative slate being nominated. The only attempt to elect a delegate unfavorable to Gatch for Congressman was in Tew Park. With the defeat of George W. Davis, this opposition was re moved, apd Gatch will have the support of -every delegate in the 10 Salem pre cincts. The delegates elected in these precincts are as follows: Salem, No. 1 William Waldo, George Punsford, W. D. Claggett, C. Lw McNary. S. Farrar, Lot L. Pierce, H. C Tarpley, A. M. .Southwick, F. C.

Kelser. th vnunt m- fmatiri Saturday at Kendrlck. Idaho, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, was given preliminary examination at Oakesdale yesterday, and discharged, Kelser showing that he was authorized to draw on his employers, as he had done. Kelser was at once rearrested on a war rant from Spokane County, charging him with forcery. Tt is alleged that last win ter, while Kelser was a traveling sales man for a firm of spice merchants in Chi cago, in a number of instances he sent orders for bills of goods, signing the name of some reputable firm to the order, when in reality the firms whoso names were thus signed had not given" orders for such goodo, and refused to accept the goods when they arrived. The firm claims that after sendlns in such foTged orders Kelser, who was working on commission, would draw for the percentage that would have been due him if the orders thus sent had been really obtained by him. Keiser says that he took a large number of or ders, the goods to be paid for at the ex piration of SO days, and that the firm would wait 00 or more days before ship ping the goods. This would anger the party ordering, who would refuse to re ceive the shipment on arrival. Last night the freight depot of the O. R. & N. Co. was broken open and a case of beer, a case of egg, boxes of apples, prunes and raisins and a roll of leather belting were stolen.

' First Settlers Trains. SEATTLE, March 21. The Great North ern and Northern Pacific today brought DISEASE-A CR Prof. S. A. Weltmer, the Great Magnetic Healer, Demonstrates That AH Diseases Can Be ' Cured Without the Aid of Medicines .or the Surgeon's Knife. Marvelous Has Been the Success of This Eminent Scientist, Who Has Given to the World Weitmerism. "WELTMER, THE Prof. S. A. Weltmer. the eminent scien tist of Nevada, Mo., who originated that Method of Magnetic Healing known as Weitmerism, and which is indorsed by both the press and the pulpit, has dem onstrated that disease Is a crime. In a recent Interview he stated, "A crime Is a breach of moral principles, of law or of nature, it is still a crime. Now, disease Is a breach of nature, brought on by eith er an abuse of nature or by not follow ing nature's edict, and whether this breach be In commission or in omission, nature, like the State, demands a penalty. Now I wish to demonstrate that at tho present time the existing disease Is a double-headed crime, first by Its appear ance, second by its continuation, for there Is no disease, no matter how hopeless It may seem or of how long standing, that cannot bo cured r therefore, to continue in disease is a crime, not only to oneself but to posterity yet to come. Now we have demonstrated by scientific researches that disease is a product produced by human hands, and is unnatural, therefore it can again be remedied by human hands. The reason that the method which I have orig inated has had such phenomenal success is because It acts in a perfectly natural manner, without the aid of cither drug3 or tho surgeon's knife, by going to the very seat of the trouble, and placing the con stitution in a robust condition, it cures all disease, no matter whether chronic or acute. Take for instance, woman who in the majority of cases Is placed upon the rack of torture, simply because those or gans which make her a woman are in an unnatural condition. Through Weitmer ism they are placed In that condition which nature and God meant them to be. Into Seattle the first of their double sec tion immigrant trains.
