Buy School Suits This Week NOMINEE ANSWERS WEST 1 . Judge Benson Declares Executive Assails Him Without Foundation and That He Seems Sure Enough to Have Seen Ballots. SALEM, Or., Sept. 8. (Special.) Governor West today issued a certifi cate of nomination to Judge Benson under protest. The State Canvassing Board Saturday declared Judge Benson nominated over Justice McNary by one vote. The Governor's protest accuses Judge Benson of obtaining the nomination by methods he calls questionable and as sails him for not accepting the State Canvassing Board's proffer of extended time for recount when Justice McNary assented. He accuses Judge Benson of turning over the recount subject to an attorney and of gaining tne nomina tion by "withln-the-law" procedure. Cluck Made Reminder. In conclusion the protestor quotes ex-Governor Lord's tribute to the sanc tity of the Supreme Court and declares Judere Bensoa after election will im agine the court clock ticks "Sixes Sixes, Sixes," recalling that he had re fused to sanction recount of Sixes Pre clnct in Curry County. The Governor's protest in part is: "I am inclosing you herewith a cer tificate of nomination which will se cure for you a place upon the official ballot as one of the nominees of the Republican party for the office of su preme Judge. While I am firm in my conviction that a complete and correct return of the votes cast at the general election, or even of those precincts where errors have been reported, would have shown Judsre McNary and not vourself to be the successful candl date, you have succeeded, through sharp practice and methods which would put to blush the meanest petti fogger in the land, in producing a result upon the face of the returns wnicn leaves this office no alternative, but that of issuing you the certificate of nomination. Mandamus Not DeHlred. "Should I pursue a different course than this, mandamus proceedings would follow and the course, under the cir cumstances, undoubtedly would be forced to be guided by the incomplete returns as canvassed and to direct the Issuance of the certificate. Judging by your previous activities this decision would be quickly seized upon mantle of respectability to cover the questionable methods used to secure the nomination. "As Circuit Judge you have many times sent to jail young men who have happened to trespass, in a small de gree, upon the property rights of oth ers, yet today you trample upon the birthright of a whole people, and be cause you have been skilful enough to keep within the law are permitted not only to go your way unmolested, but to sit In judgment upon your fel lowmen. It is this lack of equality before the law which creates discon tent and leads many to believe that the law Is like a cobweb where small flies are caught and the great ones break through." JUPGiK BENSON HAS REPLY Nominee Says "West Is as Sure as if He Saw Ballots. In reply to Governor West's protest. Judge Benson made the following statement: "The keynote of the Governor's statement appears to show his firm conviction that a correct return of the votes cast at the general election or even those, where errors have been re ported, would have shown that Judge McNary Instead of myself had been nominated. "It Is perfectly apparent to me and any one that, either Governor West's conviction, as he cals It, has not a single suggestion of evidence to sup port it, or that he Is In posession of Information which could be obtained only at the expense of a criminal viola tion of the law. "AH ballots cast, except only those counted under the mutual agreement of Judge McNary and myself, are securely sealed. No order of any kind has been obtained to examine any of those bal lots, and even the Governor's impetuous spitefjlness is not sufficient to suggest that he is a party to such a crime as could furnish any evidence of what those ballots show." "The Governor is therefore to be freely and fully acquitted of any knowl edge upon which to base this Arm con viction which seems to furnish all the basis for all the false and ground less statements contained in his letter. "Starting with a conviction which has nothing to support it, it is easy and natural to allow the Governor to pro ceed to other statements equally with out any foundation in fact. Judge Mc Nary and I agreed to the counting of ballots In certain precincts selected by him and certain others selected by me. The last agreement between us pro vided In direct terms that the selections then made should be final, that neither of us would ask that any more bal lots should be counted. "I was not under any obligation to select any precinct and might have rested the case upon those selected by Judge McNary. He was under no obligation to me to count the ballots in any of the precincts selected by him and I was under no obligation to him to count the ballots in any of the precincts selected by me. "In addition to that It was expressly stipulated In the agreement that either of os ir.Ig.it iecline to count the bal lots In any or all of the precincts se lected by him provided that declina tion was expressed before the ?ount in such precinct wa.3 beun. Two of the precincts selected by me were counted, all those selected by Judge McNary. "I declined to count any more of those selected by me and the ret-ult thus obtained has given me a majority, and has compelled the Governor to do his inclination such extreme violence as to sign my certificate of nomination. "The canvassing of the votes showed that I was nominated but it appears from the Governor's letter that even then he would have violated the law and refused to sign my certificate if he had not thought that thereby he would have given me an advantage. "The letter signed by the state can vassing board suggested a postpone ment to a time which, under the opin ion of the Attorney -General, would have been too late to have my name placed upon the ballot and that alone was sufficient reason for declining to consent to such delay." t jg" i HHaaiaraa'aHnaVaSi: NlP fWinanl r' ' !

The Ger man Embassy today announced re ceipt of this dispatch from Berlin: "Coelninsche Volks Zeitung. Ger many's leading Catholic organ, prints an interview with Monsignor Dr. Coen rad. vice-rector of the Louvain Univer sity. He says there was hot firing on German soldiers in streets, and that the firing was from Belgian guns, which give different reports from German rifles. "Dr. Coenrad was one of the host ages held by the Germans at the time of the firing. He heard that other prominent citizens were led around in the streets to read German proclama tions at 40 or 50 different places warn ing civilians against shooting. Even while reading these he heard Belgian shots continuing. He highly praises the entire bearing of the Germans after entering the city." Uncle Sam Seeks Help.

Too many of the suits or overcoats bought this fall will cost the wearer $15 or less. The price is too low for best value; if a man really cant pay more it's his misfortune; real economy lies higher. We make suits and over coats to sell as low as $ 1 8 ; our quality cant be suc cessfully sold at less. We recommend $25 as a real economy price. Hart Schaffner & Marx Vancouver to Cut Tax Levy.

The budget provides for $73,947. as against $85,000 last year. Mayor Crass -has proved that he will save this year many thousands of dol lars, or will have left what would be a fair fortune from the $85,000 appro WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. The basis for the recent assertion of President Wilson that he believed Carranza and Villa would co-operate in restoring constitutional government In Mexico was revealed today, when it became known that General Obregon. personal friend of General Carranza, had signed the proposals of General Villa for an electoral programme. General Villa's proposals were laid before Paul Fuller, personal represent ative of President Wilson, at a recent conference In Chihuahua. The Presi dent later told callers the proposals did not appear unreasonable. Mr. Fuller had an interview with General Carranza In Mexico City today, and it was reported that the first chief also Indicated his assent to the pro gramme mapped out by Villa. Military Men Excluded. The programme In full Is as follows: That a convention of the delegates of the constitutionalist army be called to arrange the date of the election fo Congress. President and Vice-Presi dent. That no military man be a candidate for President or Vice-Presldemt or Gov ernor of any state. That a civilian take charge of the provisional government to hold elec tions. That ,i general amnesty be declared except as to those who committed the crime or participated In the assassina tion of Madeto and Suarez. That the officers of the old federal army who can show clean records shall be taken into the new national army. That all reforms shall be put through In an energetic manner, but on a legal and constitutional basis. General Carranza already has com plied with the first proposal by calling a general convention for October 1 to select a provisional president Carransa May Be Caadldate. Under the Mexican constitution the provisional president cannot be a can didate In elections conducted under hie administration General Carranza. therefore. If desirous of becoming pro visional president, will not be In of fice longer than, the period necessary to conduct an election. If be resigns as first chief la favor of the new pro visional president, he may enter the presidential race, as his friends say he is not a "military man" In the accepted sense in Mexico, even though he has held the title of "General In the constitutionalist army. The belief prevails here that Car ranza will resign in favor of a civilian as proposed by Villa and that he then will wage an active political cam paign for the presidency. It Is fully expected that Villa will not support Carranza at the polls, but he has not revealed the Identity of his candidate. It Is generally understood here that while formal recognition may be ex tended to the new provisional presi dent American forces will not be with drawn from Vera Crux until the elec tion for permanent president Is actually held.

His life from boyhood up was one constant battle against the enemies of his country. He defeated the proud English navy in to wars.
