Oregon Is blowing in the direction of

strong drift towards Bryan, as Is shown

"Mr. Straus welcomes a judicial Inquiry
Into all matters and things about which
certain muck rakers have busli-d them
selves for ulterior motives. Mr. Btraus
resents with all vigor any iipputatloli "r
InHlnuutlon ' that he has made any con
fession, for the very simple reason them
was none to make, and the .naked accu
sation of those trafficking-in the busi
ness of assailing the character and In
tegrity of honest men will be held to
a strict accountability at the proper
time. No one believes that Charllt'
Btraus Is guilty of any Irregularity. H
is a peculiar thing that none of tha
parties Interested or affected In this
matter Is complaining. I do not believe
that the public, and 1 know Mr. Straus -friends
and acquaintances will not pre
judge Mr. Straus on one sided ex-parK-statements.
"This matter haw been a subject of

has maintained the same position from
that time unto this and has nnver wa

Straus maintains that his accounts
were straight In every way when he

some time going over 1h books with
the Inspectors. It is understood that
the books were found to be all right,
but nevertheless the government agent
say that the money is gone and that
the cashier is responsible for the
amount that Is missing.
Straus left the service April 18. At
that, time he asked for a vacation, ex
nlalnlrir .that his eyes had been giv
ing him a great deal of trouble. The
cave was granted.
As a matter of form the clerks in

the accounts and the cash on hand.
