Umatilla county politics have not yet
begun to warm up, according to State
Senator W. O. Cole and Judge James A.
Fee pf Pendleton, both of whom are in
4LPortland on business. 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. Steen has not made up his

MrB. Emma Warren, answering the
complaint of her husband for divorce,
admits that during his absence from
the city she secured a baby from the
baby home and on his " return repre-
fented to him that a son hsd ben born
o him. But Mrs. Warren denies that
this deception was Intended to annoy
him. She says she thought it would
make him haDDV. but she evidently did
not count on his discovering ner leger
domain
Mrs. Warren explains that ner action
was "for the sole purpose of pleasing
him. as he had often expressed a desire
for a child, and the defendant believed
that the presence of the'chtld at their
home would have a tendency to keep
him at home and make -him more happy
and contented."
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.
Alleging that her husband deserted
her four months after they were mar
ried, Ethelyn Bennett has begun suit
for divorce from Alva W. Bennett,
They were married In San Diego, Cal

her husband left her in November of
the same year. She asks permission to
