Wilson Democrat Says Indications
Bright for Republican.-
'The outlook as to the Senatorial
situation In my section of the state
!s favorable to Ben Selling," said H.
W. Parker, a strong Wilson Democrat,
of Newberg, at Selling headquarters,
yesterday. "After a careful review of
the situation, with Mr. Clark. Mr. Lane
and probably Mr. Bourne dividing the
same vote. It will be dlffloult for either
of them to win. For the same reason,
indications are encouraging for Mr.
Selling."
For IS years Mr. Parker, who Is bet
ter known as "Citizen" Parker, re
sided In Portland, where his Judgment
on predictions politically was general
ly supported by the election returns.
He Is now living in Yamhill County,
where ht has a small ranch. Mr. Par
ker Is enthusiastic In his support of
Mr. Wilson for President and confi
dently expects the Democratic nominee
to win. When he came to Portland
yesterday. Mr. Parker brought with
him a small contribution to the Wilson
campaign fund, subscribed by the
Jackson Club, of Newberg.
"The farmers of Yamhill County are
almost unanimously , opposed to single
tax." continued Mr. Parker. - "In my
judgment It will not be approved by
the voters of the state. The candidate
who declares for single tax or at
tempts to evade the Issue assumes a
sertous handicap to his candidacy. On
the other hand. Mr. Selling by taking
an unqualified stand against single tax
has added immeasurably to his strength
among the farmers."
Another visitor at Selling head.iuar
ters yesterday was W. P. Keady. an
active supporter of Senator Bourne in
the primary eleraUon. He Is now sup
porting Mr. Selling and the other nomi
nees on the Republican ticket.
"Although I worked earnestly for
the renominatlon of Senator Bourne
last Spring." said Mr. Keady yester
day, "I am no longer taking an active
part in politics. But the question bt
fore the voters of Oregon today la.
shall wa have a Republican United
States Senator? Mr. Selling Is the
progressive aTepubllcan nominee and
was regularly nominated by the party
In the primary election.
"I have discovered from a slight in

Thomas Frederick Lelnenweber,
one of the young and prominent
business men of Portland, died at
the Good Samaritan Hospital last
Saturday. He was born In Asto

and county and many of the state con
ventlons since 1864 and has a good
idea of the Republican sentiment in
his county.
"In the primary Republican conven
tion in my county, held for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to the Chi
cago convention, I was the only dele
gate in attendance that voted against
Instructing delegates for Roosevelt,
said Mr. Cunningham yesterday. "My
county, however, was strongly for
Roosevelt and instructed Its delegates
to the state and district conventions to
work for the ex-President.
"Today nearly every one of these
men is working with all his might for
President Taft and the Republican
ticket. They have taken the position
that they are Republicans and refuse
to follow anyone out of the party they
love and honor. Roosevelt will have
a light vote in Missouri in the No
vember election."

Senator, will open his campaign In
Eastern Oregon this week by attending
the Pendleton Round-Up Friday and
Saturday, afterward visiting most of

E. Kennedy, nominees on the same
ticket, respectively, for Railroad Com
missioner and Secretary of State.

"The speaking campaign so far
mapped out Is somewhat strenuous, but
the short time remaining makes It
necessary to visit two or three places
a day, especially in the more sparsely
settled districts," said Mr. Clark, yes
terday. "I cannot afford to carry on
an extensive publicity campaign, and
would not if I could. We have a law
In this state limiting the expenditures
of a candidate in the general election
to 10 Der cent of his first year s salary.
I intend to comply with both the spirit
and letter of the law, and limit my ex
penditures accordingly. This being the
case. I must depend upon public ad
dresses and the generous courtesy of
the newspapers In placing before the
people the merits of my candidacy.
Allready many invitations nave been
received to speak In different parts of
the state, several of them from the
counties In Southwestern Oregon. It
Is a matter of great regret that lack
of time will prevent me from visiting
the counties of Lake, Crook. Harney,
Malheur. Klamath and Grant."

PLAINTIFF WINS DECISION
Damage Action Returned From Fed
eral to State Courts.
Judge Bean handed down a decision
in the United States District Court
yesterday in the case of Mary Baldwin
against the Pacific Power & Light Com
pany that involved a point of Jurispru
dence which rarely has been presented,
but in which were cited a number of
decisions in support of his opinion.
The plaintiff is a resident of the State
of Wisconsin and filed a suit in the
State Circuit Court against the defen
dant company, ar legal resident of
Maine, to recover damages for personal
Injuries. After service had been had
on the defendant formal action was
taken removing the suit to the United
States District Court on the ground
that the defendant was a citizen of a
foreign state. The plaintiff then
moved to have the case returned to the
state court for trial, . on the ground
that both were non-residents and that
under the Federal statutes such a
transfer was not permissible when the
action was initiated in a state court
Judge Bean decided that the case must
be returned to the state court. -

THIRD TRIAL IN PROSPECT
Second Hearing in Bartender's Case
Proves1 Unavailing.
Persons who think that procedure in
the Municipal Court is summary may
modify their opinion, in view of the
present status of the case of Joe Mo
Closkey, a bartender, now pending for
a third trial after two former Juries
announced hopeless disagreement. At
taches of the court say that this is the
first time such a thing has happened
In that tribunal.
McCloskey was arrested on complaint
of Mrs. Mary Doan. who alleged that
he had sold liquor to her, drunken
husband, Ben Doan, over her protest.
The evidence for the prosecution was
that Doan had been on a debauch for
three weeks and that McCloskey had
been warned not to sell to him. Look
ing through the window, the wife saw
Doan served with gin and rushed in
and seized the glass.
The bartender, who is employed at
Fourteenth and Glisan streets, assert
ed that Doan had asked for soda wa
ter and had- received It, and denied
that he had been given intoxicating
liquor. Doan took the stand, trem
bling like a man with ague, and ad
mitted that he had been served gin.
The case was prosecuted by Attor
ney Hurst, acting for Governor West.
At the first trial. Monday, the Jury
was out only a few minutes when it
announced Its inability to agree. The
Jurors were dismissed and another
panel was called yesterday. This body
remained out a little longer, but
reached the same conclusion. .
The case has been continued until
Saturday, when Judge Tazwell wlll ide
clde whether another attempt may4 be
made to obtain a verdict.
