MEDILL IMPLACABLE FOE Senator Sajs He Y Accused ol Theft of Hair Million as Result of Quarrels With Editor la Chicago. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1U Senator Lorlmer. of Illinois, told today the tori- of his life In politics to tne Snl Investigating commltlw and the lenrth of his differences witn soma of the Chicago nwMPfP puhlisners. The opposition of 11. H. Kohlssst. he testified, began at the ctilcsao conven- tlon. at whl.-h James . Kialne was nominated for President. "1 was a Blaine man and bn to organise the Illinois delemitlon for him." said Senator Lorlmer. "Mr. Knhlnat sent one of his men to tell m tnat he had no objection If I voted for Blaine myself, but that I must stop Korklnz to split tho Illinois deleea l on or he would put me out of public Jfe. I went on Just the same." "Did you ever talk to .Mr. Kohlsaat bout driving you out of the partyT" ked Senator Kern. Newspaper Attacks Bitter. -I don't think I ever talked to him In my life." replied Mr. Lorlmer. "but obat happened verified what he said. A newspaper story came out that I had itolto loOO.ftus from the Chicago water department. Kxpert bookkeep ers reported that I had turned In every tent I collected. About four lines was printed to that effect, and the lmpres ;on was left with many people that I had stolen the money." Differences with the late Josep Media, owner of the Tribune, be testi fied, began when Mr. Medlll was said to have been a candidate for the Vnlted States Senate. "It was about 1S95." said Senator I.orimer. "when he sent for me and I told him It would be Impossible to elect him. I told htm I could not sup port him. as many of my friends were pledged to Colonel U M. Davis. Colo nel Davis later released them with the request that they work for Medlll. but Media withdrew before the conference adjourned, and from that time his at tacks on the men who had hesitated, but were willing to support him. were very bitter. He never indicated what his grievance was and he never con nected the attacks with his candidacy, tut they came on regularly." Trlhaae'a Support Half Hearted. "Did the Tribune ever support you 7" asked Senator Kern. "It did once. It said I was unlit for office, but that It was no time for Re publicans to quarrel and that I had better be elected with the rest. They have opposed me constantly since 1895. "What was the cause of your quarrel with the newspapers other than the Tribune?" "Medlll used to control Republican affairs pretty much in Cook County and when Kohlsaat came In he wanted to divide the Influence I qunrreled with him because I would not do things he wanted me to do." Senator Lorlmer related an Instance In which he said the Clilrago papers had charged him with fraud In an elec tion when be was running for Con gress. "The ballot boxes were opened on the pretense of making an Investiga tion and it was found that I had 16 more votee than had been conceded." he said. ' to have direct charge of all road con struction In Lane County, was decided upon by the County Court yesterday, and the court Is now seeking a suit able man- for the place. A practical man. capable of directing the work, and of giving the county expert engineer ing advice. Is what Is wanted. The court expects to keep for Itself the planning of road work and the final say as to what roads are to be Im proved and how, but they want an ex pert who will advise them aa to the best forms of construction to use In the different sections of the county, and to give accurate estimates of all the different elements of cost of any proposed Improvement. The present Road Supervisors will not be displaced, but will rather be aided by the expert. County Judge Helmus W. Thompson has been giving the subject of good roads his careful attention ever since he was appointed to the office two years ago. and he Is especially pleased at the move made by the court to carry on a systematlo campaign for good roads this year. There are over 1600 miles of roads In Lane County, lit tle over half of which have any sort of Improved surface. Three miles of road between Eugene and Springfield, and five miles northward from Eugene toward Junction have been macadamd Ised. and are the only flrst-clsss roads In the county. Others are from pass able to poor In the Winter time. OBLIGINTHUBbT' FAILS SIAV SAYS HE GETS GROCVD GLASS IV COFFEE FOR PAIXS.

NEW REICHSTAG TO BE CHOSEN TODAY Deep Interest Evinced in Out come, Which Even Proph ets Cannot Forecast.4 LIBERALS SURE TO GAIN Dissatisfaction With Government' Moroccan Policy and Increas ing Cost of Living; Are Important Factor. BERLIN. Jan. 11. (Special.) A gen era! election will be held throughout the German Empire Friday. January 12. to choose members of the Reichstag. Rarely haa an election excited more interest since the founding of modern Germany and rarely haa greater Ira portance attached to the result. The widespread dissatisfaction over the policy of the government In the Moroccan negotiations, a dissatisfac tion which left It apparently without a single friend In the Relschstag, and the great Increase In the cost of the neces sarles of life, which beara most heavily upon the wage-workers and all persons of small Incomes have created a situ atlon in which the most acute political prophets find themselves at a loss to predict the probable result at the polls. It seems to be conceded that the par ties of the Lett the liberal groups and the Socialists will make gains, but their probable extent la uncertain. Maay New Parties Ferasea. The Reichstag Just dissolved wss elected In January. 191)7. and sat for the five years term provided In the constl tutlon. It was constituted, following the elections of 1907, aa follows: Riant (Conservatives. Free Conserva tives, Agrarian associations) 113 Center (catholics. Poles! 12 Left (National Liberals (Id. Radicals 61) 108 social Democrats (Socialists) 43 Scattering (particularistic parties) The original two parties of 60 and more years ago the Royalists and Democrats have developed since the erection of the modern empire Into no less than 40 parties. Of these 13 had .representatives in the late Reichstag and seven delegates moreover were without any nominal party allegiance. .Disregarding, however, all but the es sentlal points of variance between these various, parties, five great groups can be named which comprehend fairly the concrete views of all but the particu laristic voters or the empire. These groups are the Conservatives. Center, National Liberals. Radicals (or pro gressives) and Socialists. The Conservatives are. above all, a government party and the representa tives of the great landed proprietors of isortn uermany, especially Prussia, the eastern provinces of which form their stronghold. They are strongly mon archists, opposed to every step that may lead to a more direct participa tion of the common people In govern mental affairs and opposed to the gen eral franchise, favoring Instead "a franchise based upon the organic groups or the people." The Center or Catholic party Is the strongest party numerically In the Reichstag and has been the strongest almost without exception since 1874. From this It comes that the Center has always held the decisive vote on all questions and the government has al ways had -to reckon with it. Its mov ing principle Is the protection of the Interests of the Roman Cathollo Church and its equality before the law with the Evangelical, or state church. It supports a high tariff and since 189 has been a government party, al lied with the Conservatives on all Im portant questions and building thus what Is called the "black-blue block." Mberala ea Middle Ground. The National Liberals, since the for mation of the black-blue block, may De said to constitute a middle party, midway between the extreme monarch ists and the extreme democrats. Once the all-powerful party of Germany, which, supporting Bismarck, played an Important role In the formation of the modern empire, the National Liberals have fallen from a high estate. The Radicals, who term themselves the "Progressive People's Party," are made up of three previously existing radical factions the Radical People's party, the Radical League and the German People's party, all of which had delegates In the last Reichstag. In March, 1810, these three principal par ties of the left were united. The Rad icals are an outgrowth of the old Pro gressive party. Which was organised In 184 8 by advocates of free trade. The present coalition advocates a syste matic abolition of the protective tariff, and equal rights for all citizens and all religions, with absolute religious freedom fjr the Individual. The pro gramme flatly demands a "responsible, colleglal Imperial ministry." Peaceful arbitration of all International dis putes Is a cardinal point In the party programme. The Socialists' programme Is that of the Socialists the world over and la well known. Their ulttmate political aim Is a pure democracy. In which all citizens. Including the women, shall have equal rights. They are unalter ably opposed to armaments and war. to tariffs and Indirect taxes: favor communal ownership of property and of all means of production, no Inter ference In religious affairs, separation of church and state, direct legislation by voters through the initiative and referendum, universal direct franchise, abolition of night work for women and children and the fullest self-government down to the smallest municipal divisions of the empire. The Socialists have no friends among the other parties and are hated by the Emperor, who has termed them "the arch enemies .of the empire." Their growth has been almost phenomenal. In 1871 they polled 113,048 votes: In 1877. 493.258; in 1890, 1.427.298. and In 1907. S.258.000. This growth has come In the face of most determined oppo sition from the government, which suf fers no Socilalst to hold any important government position or to receive any political honor, decoration or title.
