It was republicans who downed H-rmann. It was republicans who defeated Mitchell. It was republicans who retired Ellis. . . I. .

It ple:.ises yon newspapers to ascribe their defeat to functional politic-, the money question, etc. These things were only raised to receive sympathy and support. Dolph, Mitchell, Hermann and Ellis were defeated by business interests for business purposes. Portland and the transportation companies centering there, are quietly but effectively operating against Yaquina and A.toria. Fortunately, in defeating Yaqui na's friends so far, they have not succeeded in filling their places with Yaquina and Astoria ene mies. But they expect to event ually control matters to their wishes. If the O. R & N.
