Both predict i I That Pendleton, which is the vote cen ter or the county, will return antl Statement No. 1 majorities should that question be made an Issue there, though neither are saying that C. A. Barrett, candidate for the legislature on Statement No. 1 platform, will be de feated. At the present time T. J. Mahoney of lone, Merrow county, is out after the position of Joint representative xrom umaiuia ana Morrow counties on an anti-statement platform. Barrett Is running In Umatilla county for repre sentatlve from that county on a State ment No. 1 platform and L. L. Mann, a well-known wheat-grower living near Pendleton, is about to announce his can dldacy on an anti-statement platform. These three men Just fill the ticket In that county and should no other come out for the primaries there will be no contest over their election, Should another candidate put in an ap pearance it would of course compli cate matters for one or the other of the Umatilla candidates. "From what I hear about the streets of Pendleton." said Senator Cole in discussing the outlook, "I believe the county will support candidates taking the Kepumican voters- choice in prefer ence to straight statement No. l men. As it now stands, Mr. Barrett stands In no danger but should Claud Steen, a member of the house at the last sea sion, come out on a modified statement platform it would worry Barrett to beat him out.

Other charges made against her by her husband, tending to show cruelty, the wife denies. She says that when she learned that the baby did not please him she at once returned it to the home.
