In part to election frauda in. Portland
with which Powell's . name has been

which seriously reflects upon him. , .

Powell was Implicated in these frauds
and his signature was attached . to
larwnumber of the false affidavits.
The frauda were . exposed by The
Journal on the day of the election, June
0,-1904. and complete details were pub-
liahed a few daya later, with the names
of those implicated. Among the signers
of the fraudulent affidavits were a score
of men who are actively identified with
the local Republican machine, including
aeveral city and county officials and nonv
lneea on the last county ticket The at
testing notaries are men well known In
this city and one of them was a member
of the laat legislature.- 'V- - ;
No reply to The Journal s charges
was ever made by any of the accused
men.- Such violation of the election laws
hS . punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary, yet no effort was ever made
to refute the accuaatlons. --
The facts are. briefly as Tollowa: Un

terms proposed by. Japan are aa follows:
The evacuation of Manchuria by Russia,

ognition by Russia of Japan's suprem

eastern railway to the management of
an International commission, and the re

These terms were, communicated to
President" Roosevelt by the Japanese
minister at Washington who explained
that the government waa willing to treat
for peace upon their acceptance by Rus
