Trouble With Kohlsaat Laid to
Difference Over Nomina
tion of Blaine.
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.

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

Elck headaches! Always trace them to lazy lirer. delayed, fermenting food
In the bowels or a sick stomach. Poisonous matter, tnsteaa ot Deing inrown

Cascarets remove the cause by stimulating tne liver, maaing ine poison

Ladles whose sensitive organisms are especially prone to sick headaches
need not suffer, for they can be quickly eured by Cascarets. One taken tonight

Don't forget the children their little lnsldes need
