HE IS OPPOSED TO BOURNE Marlon County Certain to See One of Most Sensational Political Scraps In History Lawyer Strong Anti-Hofer Man. . SALEM. Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) It Is understood that L. H. McMahan, a local ' ' t -L--i'.-,.i.-.A ri v. -r -. ' attorney, will enter the race for State Senator in this county. McMahan has gained a state-wide reputation through his appearing in the courts against ex-Secretary of State Dunbar; in his fight against the Crater Lake road appropriation, which he won. and In his etand against issuing com plimentary passes for the State Fair. While McMahan is avowedly a State ment No. 1 man, he la known to be bit terly, opposed to Bourne, and, If he en ters the campaign, as it Is almost cer tain he will do now. It promises to be one of the most sensational pollt'cal fights ever witnessed in Marion County. McMahan ateo made a strenuous flprht against Hofer's candidacy for Gov ernor, offering startling allegations against Hofer, both through the press and in a street-corner talk in Salem. VOTERS GIVK WRONG ADDRESS Scores of Pamphlets Delayed in De livery In Postof flees. SALEM. Or.. Oct. t (Special.) "What ever complaints may be registered by voters who have not received their in itiative and referendum pamphlets must bo respectfully referred to the postofflce department or to the carelessness of the voters themselves." stated Chief Clerk Corey, of the Secretary of State's office, today, when his attention was called to the fact that there has been considerable complaint in various quarters because of a failure to receive these booklets. "When the fact Is considered that this office has received notitlcation from post onloes in several parts of the state that there are. 437 unclaimed pamphlets and further notifications, of this kind coming In daily, a large share of this dissatis faction may be easily explained. Every rcglMtered voter under the primary regis tration should have received a pamphlet many days ago, but in many cases they are themaelvea to blame in furnishing the County Clerk In their county with a wrong address. For Instance, there are 69 un claimed pamphlets at the Milton postof flce. Many people there registered as living In Milton, when their postofflce ad dress Is Freewater. The postal authori ties refuse to forward these. "We have sent out the pamphlets care fully to the addresses certified to by the County Clerks and there our responsi bility ceases." What is spparently another error in the corrrupt practices act has also been brought to light by the failure of the act to specify that voters who register sftcr the primaries to vote at the geenral elec tion shall receive Initiative and referen dum pamphlets. The act stipulates that the Secretary of State shall have the last of these pamphlets mailed by September 14. Considering this plainly not the in tent of the law. the Secrtars-'s office will start forwarding the pmnphlets again as soon aa registration returns begin to be j Clerks. It Is shown by unclaimed cards at the Secretary's offlee that there are 60 pnmphlets in the postofflce at Portland that have not been forwarded.

Statement No. 1 man and- Republican nominee for the State Senate, holds to the statement which he recently made here to the effect that he repudiates assertions made by Bourne condemning the assembly nominees of the Republican party. Patton was an anti-assembly man an continues to re tain his ideas on that subject, but objects to sny factionalism that might arlee fol lowing the direct primary. "I am not In any way in accord with the views of Jonathan Bourne. Jr., as expressed In the Portland Journal of September 2S,'.' says Patton. "At that time Bourne issued a statement through a Democratic paper calling on Republican voters to support Democrats In the gen eral election, rather than thoee men who were nominated at the primaries on an ssaembly platform. "I believe In Republican principles and In the direct- primary law," continued Patton. "I believe the place for Republi cans to settle their differences is at the direct primary. I Intend to support the ticket from top to bottom and shall abide by the decision of Republican voters as expressed by their vote on September M. Any attempt to diev-upt the party by endeavoring to throw Re publican votes to Democrats I most heartily dislike." SOCIALISTS Biri" PCBLICITT Ticket and Platform Will Be Placed in Election Pamphlet.

MOOSE SLAIN, BUT LOST GOVERNMENT SEIZES TROPHY " WHILE OWNER WAITS. New York Clnbman Fumes at Seattle Because TTncle Sam Thinks Ho" Violated Alaska Game Laws. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.) It is one thing to kill a big moose In Alaska and it is quite another thing to get the head and horna out of the territory. The. hunter has pretty near as much trouble as if he was caught, crowbar in hand, trying to open an Alaska coal mine. If you are from Missouri, Just ask Belden Roach, New Tork clubman, big game hunter and all-around sportsman, who is now waiting patiently in Se attle for Uncle Sam to loosen his grip on such a trophy, seized more than a week ago by the customs officers at Cordova, on suspicion that Mr. Roach had violated the game laws. Mr. Roach says it's no trouble to slay a moose in Alaska, but cheer fully admits that the word conserva tion' has taken on a new meaning for him and that he is beginning to enter tain an almost fraternal feeling for the famous Cunningham coal-land claimants, since the Government stern ly Informed him that he was suspected of attempting to rob the people in try ing to ship the big animal's head and horns home, to decorate the walls of his "den." The moose was killed by Mr. Roach In the mountains back of Seward a few weeks ago. The hunter, who had patiently complied with all the neces sary formalities as to hunting licenses and permits to ship out hunting tro phies, thought he was safely out of the woods when - he had the head placed aboard the steamship Northwestern at Seward, duly billed to him 'in Seattle. Mr. Roach arrived here late last week and registered at the Hotel Washington. The moose head failed to arrive, and when the hunter made inquiry, he found that it had been taken off the ship at Cordova as con traband of the game laws DEfiD'M;"MOBEYS W. H.

His friends detected his failing men tally several weeks ago, but it was only in his home that he demonstrated his real dementia. In conversation with his friends, he was continually - lost in thought snd was forced to sell his interest In the Enterprise News-Record, in wlilch lie became interested when he moved to Enterprise last Winter. His sorrow became a constant thought uppermost in his mind, but during that time he produced some-splendid prose for East ern magazines. He awakened his wife at 11 o'clock last night and built a fire and de clared he had a seance with hla sons' spirits. At the conclusion, he Informed his wife that his boys "wanted him to come" and. bidding her call in some neighbors, he procured a revolver and during her brief absence shot himself through the mouth.
