DECLARED THEIR VIEWS
LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES OF MA
RIOX EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
First Joint Meeting; of the Campaign
Candidates Xor County Ofices
Also Had a Hearing'.
SALEM, Or., May 22. The joint canvass
of Marlon County by the candidates on
the Republican and Fusion tickets was
begun at Turner this forenoon, with a
joint discussion. While the attendance
was not large, the general tone of the
addresses foretells one of the hardest po
litical fights ever waged in this county.
The apparent lack of interest on the part
of the people Is in a measure made up for
by an unusual vim In the work of the
candidates. It is evident from the start
that the opposition to the Republican
ticket has a strong advantage in having
the best speakers. The Republicans have
not a single candidate who is given to
verbosity. But for a straightforward
business talk, void of figurative coloring,
the Republican candidates appear to be
able to hold their own.
Two sensations were sprung at the
meeting 'this morning. One was the an
nouncement by Colonel E. Hofer. Fusion

candidate for tho Legislature, that If he
should be a member of the next Housa
of Representatives he would work for
an immediate organization of the Legis
lature and the early election of a Senator;
if the Legislature should be Republican,
ho would favor the election of the best
straight Republican In the state to repre
sent Oregon In tho United States Senate.
He said that., on the other hand, If fhe
Legislature should be ruled by the opposi
tion, he would favor the election of a man
who should represent the principles advo
cated by the opponents of the Republican
party.
Tho other sensation was sprung by W.
W. Hall, Republican candidate for County
Clerk. Mr. Hall charged that on yester
day afternoon, G. P. Terrell, the present
Republican County Judge, held a consul
tation with Dr. W. S. Mott, Democratic
chairman, the object of the conference
being to devise means to defeat him
(Hall) for re-election. Mr. Hall shook his
finger at Dr. Mott and dared him to deny
that the meeting was held. The Demo
cratic chairman made no attempt at ex
planation or denial.
Tho meeting was called to order by the
chairman of the Republican County Cen
tral Committee. F. T. Wrlghtman, and D.
H. Cornelius was chosen to preside. The
Fuslonlsts opened the discussion A. B.
Huddleson, of the Legislative ticket, being
the first speaker. He said that, if elect
ed, he would vote for the abolition of all
useless commissions; that he would favor
the initiative and referendum; that he
would faor the election of a Populist as
United States Senator, but, rather than
see the state go unrepresented, he would
vote .for a Republican.
J. B. Dlmmlck, Fusion candidate for the
Legislature, gave his time to explaining
why he left the Republican party. He
complained that J. T. Gregg traded his
(DImmick's) vote to Josaph Simon, and
this he made the Introduction to a Vehe
ment denunciation of Senator Simon and
J. T. Gregg. He then read the list of
his property a"wtzsments and taxes for
tho past several years, and to account
for the Increase In taxes he read ex
tracts from the special appropriation bill
of the last Legislature. Although the
room was small, ho talked so loudly that
he could have been heard six blocks away,
and paced back into the audience, waving
his hands and shouting. His frequent use
of vulgarity excited laughter.
Dr. J. N. Smith was the first speaker
for the Republicans. He topk up the
question of whether the opposition ticket
is a genuine "Citizens" ticket, and showed
that the reforms accomplished in the City
of Salem under a "Citizens" movement
were In reality the work ofl Republicans.
Mr. Smith then said that he advocated
a State board of Equalization, a law re
quiring wheat warehousemen to give
bonds, and the direct primary law.
J. M. Poorman, another Republican can
didate for tho Legislature, made only one
personal remark that in a previous cam
paign he had heard Mr. Dimmick, the
Fusionist, roast the Democrats worse
than he had the Republicans. He advo
cated a state tax upon the Incomes of
express and telephone companies, and a
law providing for a fair equalization of
assessments. He opposed appropriations
for normal schools, contending that those
who wish a special education should pay
for It
Lot L. Pearce. candidate for tho Legis
lature, spoke highly of the present regis
tration law, but thought it should be
amended so as to provide for a registra
tion just before the Presidential election.
He advocated holding the county and
etatc elections in November, at the same
tlmo as tho Presidential election; this
change, he said, would save $3000 to the
counts' every two years. He opposed use
less commissions.
Henry Keene, a Republican candidate
for the Legislature, spoke briefly in favor
of a business administration of county
and state affairs. Colonel E. Hofer, Fu
sion nominee for the Legislature, closed
the discussion. He claimed that, while
the ticket he runs on is not exactly a
"Citizens" ticket, it Is, nevertheless, a
reform ticket, and represents the com
bined opposition to the Republican party.
He said he would admit that the Repub
lican ticket was a new deal, and that the
besses were turned down, but contended
that the Republicans propose a partisan
administration, while the opposition
stands for a nonpartisan administration.
He spent considerable time defending the
record made by Sheriff Durbln. He i
claimed that the amount paid by Durbln
to the Capital Journal for printing the
delinquent tax roll was only half what
the Republican Sheriff paid to the States
man for the same work. He contended
that, though the Republicans deserve
credit for the reduction of expenses An
the last two years, yet this reform Is the
result of the demands of the opposition.
He favored spending the road funds in
the precincts where collected.
Several" of the nominees for county of
fices also spoke, confining themselves al- j
most wholly to local affairs. I

Some "Inside" Information.
A prominent Federal office-holder, of
Portland, Tvho was In Salem yesterday. Is
reliably reported to have circulated the
statement here that several members of
the Republican Legislative ticket In Mult
nomah County are In danger of defeat at
the June election. Those who were favored
with this information are of the opinion
that the Federal official's wish was father
to his thought. At any rate, judging by
remarks on the subject, the official did not
gain any friends for his political chief
by trying to circulate such reports here.
Cray Chinese Flourished Revolver.
Lul Look; a crazy Chinese, discharged
from the asylum last Fall, created a dis
turbance in a Salem restaurant today oy
brandishing a loaded revolver. He was

at S O'clock May 15.
EUGENE, Or., May 22. County Clerk
Lee Is being criticised to some extent for
his decision In regard to the closing of
the registration books of the county. As
a matter of fact, Mr. Lee has followed the
letter of the law, as he understands it,
and by so doing 32 names that were taken
by deputies or Justices of th.e Peace in
outlying precincts have been refused a
place on the general register. These 32
names were taken in regular way by of
ficers acknowledged to be, competent to
receive and register the names ot voters
before 5 o'cldck P. M. on May 15, at which
time the registration books are closed, ac
cording to law. These names were sent
to Clerk Lee as soon as possible, but did
not roach his office prior to 5 o'clock
May 15, and when they did arrive they
were not allowed to be entered.
At a public meeting held last evening, a
general committee of five was appointed
to canvass the business, houses and make
all necessary arrangements for a Fourth
of July celebration in Eugene.
At a meeting of the City Council last
night, the Street Commissioner was In
structed; to make an examination of all
sidewalks in the city and order all repairs
made that are required to put them In
good order. A resolution was also passed
providing that one-half of any fine levied
agalnet any person for violation of the

"Wasco Political Notes
THE DALLES, Or.. May 22,-Judge
Pipes, of Portland, spoke here this even
ing on the political Issues of the present

quires Their Destruction.
