In Juno or in November. 1909 or not

pass an amenanieni i "v- T"i"
law which will place the date of the

question. "I think the best way to do
would be to ask tne legislature io unenu

to definitely state that the local option
elections should be held the same month
as the general elections. In order that
inert couiq do no uyM"1 ..v.e,.

will have, a local option election In all

Option Elections In June.
( Whether or not the legislature amends

of elections held under Its definite and
certain it Is still the Intention to call
local option elections for the first Mon
day in June. 1909, In all counties In the
stare that are now dry.
The object of this election will be two
fold, according to Secretary Knodell. In
the first nlace the friends of the Anti-I
Saloon league bellege that should an
election bs called at the present- time -It
would be posslDie . to put viaansnin,

-. in tin Arv rnlnmn while Marlon
would be practically certain of Joining
the list By June, 1909, the leaders of
the antl-saioon movement are cuniiurni
that all of the counties can be switched
from, the wet to the dry column,
v,' V rl Oat Knltnomaa.
V The second and perhaps the chief ob
ject of the 1909 election will be to feel
out Multnomah county as a whole In or-
derto determine- whethe It would, be
good strategy to call a state wide elec
tion In November 1910. ' , '
V-The Anti-Saloon league has carried
the battle into Multnomah county with
such, vigor that practically one-third of
the population of the county la now In
3ry territory. How the other two-thirds
stands, however, is unknown, and the
Anil-Saloon leaguer would like to
know the figures. It Is expected by
them that the county as a whole would
vote wet. but if the marmtn should he
small enough in June, 1909 a state elec
tion would be called for November,
"1910, In the hope that the outside dry
counties would make up, the deficiency
end turn the state as a whole into the
. dry column.
Try Ont Question.
"We would like to have the question
tried, out in Multnomah county," said
Mr. Knodell. "We would like to know
what the majority would be against us
in order to determine whether it would
' be wise to call a state election in No-
vember. 1910. If the margin were
: small enough we would expect the out
side vote to makn up for the lapse and
put Oregon in the dry column as a

" It so. They are the ones who have the
votes and who determine the question."
"We," continued Mr. Knodell, speak-
lng for the Anti-Saloon league, "would
rather have the date of the elections In
November than in June. It would be
, a benefit to us to have the local option
. elections In June when the personali
ties of a campaign would not enter Tnto
. the discussions. But should the elec-
tions be segregated it would be charged
, against us that we were bringing ex

that reason we would prefer to have
both elections at once. There Is an
other thing, we would like to have It
made plain that the expense of a local
option election tn which the question
is raised In a dry county, as in thecaso
of Lincoln county, is caused, not by the
- Anti-Saloon league, but by the saloon
men themselves. ' We would never
bother a dry county until the question

Determined that if possible a stronger
ease shall be made against Charles W.
Walton for shooting Policeman Claus
Nelson on the present trial than was
made last week, when six jurymen voted
to acauit him. the prosecution today
supplied several new witnesses to
strengtnen its case, it aiso secured
the admission into the record of the
testimony of Conductor Johnson, who
identified 'Walton as the man who held
him up on a Willamette Heights car
when the case was first tried over three
years ago.
The admission of Johnson's testimony
was fought by the defense on the ground
that the defendant has a right to be
confronted- by his accuser. Johnson has
disappeared, and is said to be In New
York. Although the motorman who as
sisted Nelson in subduing Walton is
here, the state was weakened by failure
to add the positive statement of John
son to Irs case. Today the testimony of
Johnson was read by Mrs. C. Badgley,
the official reporter, from shorthand
notes taken at the first trial.
Another nolnt to strengthen the case
of the prosecution was the Introduction
of the police record of Walton's arrest,
showing that ha had $2.80 ln nickels,
dimes and quarters when he was ar
rested, money that he was presumed to
have taken from the conductor in hold
ing him up. This record was proven by
Deputy snerirr Arcnie xeonara. wno
was clerk at police-headquarters at tbe
time of the robbery. The record showed
that among the things taken from Wal
ton was a .revolver containing two cart
ridges, a flask of whiskey and a mask.
The mask, which consisted of a blood
stained handkerchief, was overlooked at
