MUST OBSERVE NEW LAW Corrnpt Practice Act Applies to Candidates for President or Sen ate and Speaker of House, It Is Decided. SALEM. r., Nov. Tl. (Ppial Al though many. If not all the i-Rnilirtntrs. for Pn"sld-nt of the Sonnte or Sjvakcr of the ilniinei niMy rot be aware of the fact, yet tliolr campaigns for election come within the regulation of the oorrupt practice act adopteil ly the people last June. Section 1" of the act spwlfiVnlly pro T4s that the temi "public office" Khali applv to the presil!nr office of either hramh of the I.plslHtiire. Such candi lafs would not. however, be bounJ by section H of the act. limiting campaign expenditures, for that section applies only to a candidate "who has received the nomination to a public oftice." But they are apparently subject to the provisions f.f section 19 of the act. which forbids, ilircctly or indirectly promises of ap pointment to any position of honor, trust or emolument. I'mler this regulation It will be dan gerous for aspirant for presiding offices to promise committee chairmanships, by means of which these contests have fre quently been decided In the past. They are also bound to the terms of section 2s, which prohibits treating, with the aope of Influencing votes, and hy sec tion 17. which makes it unlawful to be come a candidate for the purpose of de feating another candidate and not with a bona tide Intention to obtain the office. The section relating to promises of ap pointment Is apparently the one that ap plies most directly to the contest for the Speakership and the Presidency of the Senate.

Secretary P. S. Davidson com municated by wire with the Spokane Fair managers, and received word tha the reouest would have to .be denied. Hood River had arranged for a special car for the trip to Spokane. December 5 to 12, but all such arrangements hava been called off. It Is understood here that In the method of scoring- for quality on scale of 10. the Winesap and Rome Beauty are given 10 points each, while the Ortley Is given only 5. Kewtowns and Spitr.enbergs are not class'fied in the lists, decisions as to points on these standard varieties being left to the dis cretion of the judges. TRIED TO MEET OBJECTIONS Apple Fair Manager Says Scoring Points Are Practically as Desired. SPOKANE, Wash.. Nov. 27. (Special.) "We have done everything possible to pacify tiie Rood River applegrowers, that they might make exhibits at the National Apple Show," said Manager 11. J. Neely, of the National Apple Show. Two days ago we received a telegram from them stating that they would only make an exhibit if we would change the scoring rules to correspond with those of the United States Pomological Society, and give them the privilege of selecting their own space. It was abso lutely Impossible to do either of these at this late hour, and asnde from that, our scoring rules are practically the same as those employed by the Porno logical Society, and when we formu lated them we submlttted them to the Hood River orchardlsts for their com ments. Thev said that they were all right in every way. "Several weeks ago the Hood River people raised the objection to the sys tem of Judging, they understanding that the prizes were to be awarded By popu lar vote, which would be unfavorable for their exhibits. I went to Hood River and explained to them that the Judges were to be from the Pomological Bu reau at Washington, D. C ' and when they learned this they again promised to make a large exhibit. "We will probably be unable to do any thing with the last objection which they have raised, as we Jiave already allotted. considerable of the space, and as for changing the scoring rules, we would have to consult every exhibitor before this would be possible."

This city expects to send several carloads of fruit and 1000 peo ple In a special train to Spokane to the National Apple Show there. l attima citizens have begun to recognize that there is no rivalry between the fruit growing districts of the Northwest, but that the interests of all are Identical. To this end. the tendency here now Is toward uniting with all movements of this state. Oregon or Idaho in display ing and advertising the products of the Pacific Northwest. The motto of the fruitmen is that of Schley at Santiago: 'There Is glory enough for all," and they believe that when the Fast learns of the Coast there will be business enough for all.

HITS AT SPECIAL AGENTS Senator Borah Says Their Work In jures Many an Honest Settler. B013R. Idaho. Nov. 2T. Snecial.) In an address delivered in this city Wednes day, at a luncheon given by the Boise Commercial Club, Senator Borah severely criticised the Government reclamation service for the alleged hounding on the heels of honest settlers who are en deavoring to establish homes on irrigated lands in the southern part of this state. He also made some valuable recommends tions for changing the laws governing homestead entries, one of which Is to reduce the time required to live on home stead land from five to three years and the other to give the honest settler more time in which to make his payments. Senator Borah, who was repeatedly cheered during his remarks, said: "I am in entire harmony with the Gov ernment in its effort to detect and punish the wrongdoer, but I believe that when a special agent, irresponsible financially and generally morally, goes round and in discriminated ties up bona tide settlers. he should be made responsible In one way at least.' There is another matter which ought to be remedied. It Is a system which has been growing up for a long time. That is the system of prying out. hunting down, embarrassing and annoy ing honest and bona fide set tiers because the special inspector is too ignorant or too careless .to dis criminate between the settler who does wrong and who does well. "I would like to see the law so amended as to make it what it was Intended to he. a poor man's law. a law that would assist the man of limited means to secure a home."

GOES TO PARIS HOSPITAL Report Current That South Ameri can OHicial Would Xot Be Al lowed to Land at Bordeaux Is Vigorously Denied. BORDEAUX. France, Xov. 27. (Spe cial.) On landing here. President Castro of Venezuela, will go straight to l'aris, where he will enter a hospital in the Rue de Turin, frequented by patients afflicted with serious stomach troubles. Friends of the President say that he is suffering from a tumor of the stomach, compli cated with other gastric disorders. Reports have reached Bordeaux to the effect that because diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela have been broken off, Castro 'will not be allowed to land.
