Peter Baache, and tha Republican organ advocating tha re election of J. B. Messlck. Inoumbent Tha Morning Democrat comes out flatly and charges tha present county leader with Incompetency and misap propriation of county funds, and Is sup porting Mr. Baache solely on his re cord as a successful business man.

Tha Herald was soma Uma ago made to return to the county over 1300, tha amount of overcharge on Its bill. In short, the whole fight up to the pres ent time has hinged on tha awarding of the eounty printing, and Mr. Baache said that every printing shop in tha oounty. whether It be a newspaper of fice or not. would be asked to bid lor the county printing, the work going In every case to the lowest bidder.

EXTRA DAY REQUIRED Ninety Members of Legislature Dur ing 40-Day Session at S3 per Day, Draw Only $10,800 From State Treasury. SALEM. Or, Oct. it. (Speolal.) Ao cording to a fairly conservative esti mate, it will probably cost the State of Oregon twice as much to pay for count ing the votes on tha 31 Initiative and referendum measures to eoma up ba fora the people at tha general election, November 8. as the oomblned salaries of the Senators and Representatives In the Legislature for a. session of 40 days. extra election expensa that will ba caused because of tba measures, and haa no" reference to the cost or count ing vots on the various candidates. t. i. .n iit.ri that in a sre- dnct where there are 150. voters or over It will require fuiry a day to count these measures alone. At any rate, with a long ballot of atata, county and district officers, mora than a day will be consumed In counting both. As the law provides that the judges and clerks shall ba paid an extra day, even If their time runs over a incuin v. twm d.v tt Mn he seen that the counting of these measures will result in an extra days pay ror aii oi tne judges and clerks in the various pre cincts, and in many of the precincts where there are from 860 to 700 voters the counting will make up two extra days. ttti.k k., vtr. at til a nra- clnct, there being six judges and clerks paid at the rata oi a u a.k anil with SS7 nreclnets In the state the total cost for aa extra day would be $17,7f for extra counting alone. Inasmuch aa this would be doubled In a large number of precincts, a cost of $80,000 is a decidedly conserv ative estimated. Senators and Representatives u oi them paid 88 a day for 40 days" ses sion, cost the state $10,800 in salaries. VOTERS DOX'T GET PAMPHLETS Incomplete Addresses Are Supplied by Many Who Register. fiAXJCM. Or- Oct VS. (Special) There are at least 821 voters In tha state who will not receive pamphlets under the corrupt practices act, re gardless of the fact that they are duly registered. Notifications have been received at the Secretary of State's of fice from various postofflces through out Oregon which show that there are that many pamphlets being held by the postmasters because the voters in reg istering failed to give their proper ad dress so that the mall would be for- arded to the right destination. In Falls City alone there are 78 pamphlets lying In the postoffloe un delivered and uncalled for. Some com plaints have been received from Marlon and Multnomah Counties that pamph lets have not reached certain voters who registered soma time ago. The law provides that pamphlets shall be aent to the outlying counties first and that counties closer to the State Cap itol shall be served last. For this rea son the secretary's force has been fill ing In the registration from isolated counties as fast as It came In and the counties near at hand have been cared for but recently. Another big bunch of registration statements from clerks waa received today, and this is probably tne last that will come in. It Is believed that all of the pamphlets will be mailed out to the voters by next Monday after noon at tha latest. JURY CONVICTS HARRIS SLATER OP ST. MARTIX GUILTS" OP MANSLAUGHTER. Victim's Widow Now Defendant In Assault Charge Brought by Her Granddaughter. STEVENSON. Wash.. Oct. 18. (Spe cial.) James T. Harris, known first as Robert Brown, was found guilty here to day of manslaughter, tha Jury refusing to accept his explanation that the killing of Isador ft. Martin last March was ac cidental. The verdict waa returned after three hours' deliberation by the Jury, Representative McCredle. counsel for Han-Is. submitting the case without ar gument. That It was the belief of several -of tha Jurymen that a charge of wilful murder' might have been sustained against Harris Is shown by discussion of the tragedy by Jurymen after the case ended. Unfamiliar with local pro cedure, some of the Jurymen were pus sled In voting, and for two ballots, two voted to find Harris guilty of first-degree murder and four would convict him of murder In tha aecond degree. The final vote found Harris guilty of third decree murder or manslaughter. Unless Harris appeals, he will be sen tenced within 14 days. Under the sta tutes ho may be merely fined or sent to the penitentiary, for a period ranging from one to 20 years. As a peculiar aftermath to the traplo death of Isador St. Martin, hla widow. Mrs. M&rtha St. Martin, la being aued In the same court which tried her hus band's slayer, and her case, in a way, grows out- of the killing of her spouse. Mrs. Martin Is sued for damages by her grand-daughter. Mrs. Helen Kronenburg, who alleges her grandmother attacked her without provocation recently In a visit to St. Martin's Springs. It seems that an unfriendly feeling ex isted between grandmother and grand child and that Mrs. Kronenburg' s visit to the St. Martin family to offer con dolence over the trsgto ending of Isador St. Martin caused the alleged attack upon her by her grandmother.' Immediately after Harris' conviction the court took up Mrs. St. Martin's case and the task of examining Jurors to de cide the family quarrel waa begun.
