Samuel IX Manz and he came to Port
land from Walla Walla, Wash., in the
yeax of the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion. Ever since then he has been a
newsdealer and one of the best-known
in the city because of his affliction.
For the past five years he has estab

Recently he took a lier as a pre

SeaXtle and Tacoma, but when in. the
latter city he became ill and had to
send for his partner, Fred Bloomer.
It is the plan of Sammy to go to ban

pects to be gone for at least a year
and when buying his steamer ticket
for this afternoon's sailing, he said he
wished all his customers a Merry

REWARD SFLITT0M0RROW
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 29. (Special.)
Political leaders in this state are en
deavoring to determine to their own
satisfaction just what effect the libel
suit of Ray McKaig, organizer for the
Non-partisan league, against FraJikJ
Gooding, ex-governor, a-mfrepubUcan
candidate for United""States senator,
has had. This is important because
of the bearing it will have on- the
future politics of the etate. Mr. Mc
Kaig lost the suit after one of the
most sensational trials ever heldvin
the state. The jury, returned a vert
diet for Mr. Gooding.
The- fact that the Non-partisan
.league as an organization stood be
hind Mr. McKaigin the suit is taken
by party leaders to indicate that it
was perfectly willing to permit a
showdown on a loyalty basis, for the
entire trial revolved.,. on that basis.
Mr. McKaig charged that"his reputa
tion and character had "been damaged
to the extent of $50,000 because of
Mr. Gooding's attacksvduring the senr
atorial campaign. Mr. Gooding charged
that Mr. McKaig and other -league
leaders were associated with social-
Ests and other radicals who by their
cts had indicated their disloyalty to
he country while it was at war.
Woman Socialist Figures at Trial.
Kate O'Hare, woman socialist, sen
tenced to a term in a federal prison J
for disloyal utterances, figured prom
iunncly in the trial because of an al
leged meeting between Mr. McKaig
and Miss O'Hare during her trial in
torth Dakota. A. O. Townley, na
tional president of the league, was
also convicted on a disloyalty charge.
.The jury, having returned a verdict
apainst Mr. McKaig, left the general
public impression that the .charges
made- by Mr.' Gooding had been sub
stantiated. This is the claim of Mr.
Gooding and his friends. Ten of the
jurors found for the defendant "and
two declined to vote that way. Mr.
McKaig. while of course conceding
the verdict of the jury, holds that the
trial thoroughly demonstrated that
the charges made by Mr. Gooding
with regard to his disloyalty were
groundless and he had been exon
erated. This is the stand taken by
the Non-partisan league paper, the
Leader, which, after the jury had re
turned its verdict, bitterly attacked
Mr. Gooding and his counsel for the
manner in which they conducted the
trial. The cost charges of the case
were charged by the court against
Mr. McKaig.
.' -Suit ; Wide Publicity.
In making the Statesman Printing
company a party to the suit, Mr. Mc
Kaig admitted this had been done to
keep the case in Ada county and to
prevent Mr. -Gooding from securing a
change of venue to Gooding county.
The widest publicity was given to
the libel suit because of the promi
nence of the men involved, the nature
of the charges and the activity of
the league itself, which has invaded
the political field in this state and a
year ago was partly successful in
capturing the democratic primaries
and nominating its state candidates
on the democratic ticket. At the
general election that followed the
league ticket was badly defeated and
a straight republican ticket elected
with the exception of Mr. Gooding,
who was defeated by Vnited States
Senator Nugent. Mr. Gooding led the
fight for which he generally was
given credit for electing the repub
lican state ticket at the cost of his
own election. He opened a broadside
campaign on the Non-partisan league
through display advertising in the
newspapers.
' Knllure Blow to- League.
Failure to elect its state ticket last
fall was a severe blow to the Non
partisan league and badly disarranged
its plans. These included control of
the state government and both houses
of the legislature. It made a sur
prisingly poor showing with regard
to the latter, electing but a com
paratively small number of the many
candidates it had in the race in vari
ous counties. Both house and senate
Wf re in control of the" republicans.
"Because of the league's defeat
that time, republican and democratic
party leaders have been inclined to
t he belief its grip on state politics
had been lost. They are convinced
ince the McKaig-Gooding trial that
the league will never become a reallv
serious factor in the future politics of
the state. It is pointed out bv them
mat tne iiotonety given the league
leaders regarding their alleged disloy
any nas ueen so great that the league
win herearter rind it impossible to
rany to its side any considerable num
ber of voters and that gradually its
forces will disintegrate and the league
will be. broken up. . They expect this

election campaign rolls around.
League Lours (iround.
If the league's backbone has been
oroKen, as many party leaders now
believe, it is pointed out there will
be a rapid readjustment of the ranks
of the republican and democratic par
ties with the result that but two po
litlcat organizations will be left in
the field and they will stage one
their regular battles again. Certainly

$18,600 reward offered by citizens of

both Mayor Vaughn and the city at
torney of Pendleton plan to attend
tomorrow's meeting.

Jim Linn of Salem, who posted $500
of the reward money, requesting that
either one or both attend. All other
contributors had been informed of the
eeting previously.
Mayor Baker and Chief of Police
enkins are both of the opinion that
the bulk of the reward should go to
nspectors Tackaberry and Phillips,

ipal part in the detection and arrest
of the two men. The remainder of the
money, if the recommendation of the
mayor is followed, will be paid to the
man who gave the detectives informa-
on which led to their location and to
the police officials who assisted Tack-
berry and Phillips at the time of the
rrest of James Ogle, David Smith
nd Walter Banaster. who pleaded
guilty and were sentenced to life im-
risonment.

ivision of the reward, it is probable
that money posted by the various cit-
zens will be paid to the mayor.
