(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Pendleton, Or.; Nov. 3. EL I Smith, one of Umatilla county's most prom lnent farmers and capitalist,- president of two banks in the county, and a heavy stockholder in several others, declared today that If the people fall to lnclorse Mr. Bryan's position on the guaranty of bank deposits he will Im mediately retire " from the banking business. Mr.. Smith's statement was made at the Republican headquarters just af ter the pioneer farmer had delivered one of the strongest democratic talks of the present campaign to his nephew, Ernest Kuppe, secretary of the Taft & Sherman club, and several other voters who happened to be present. "For years,'' declared Mr. Smith, "the Democratic and the Republican parties have differed widely .on the tariff question, but today, after reading and carefully studying both platforms I see absolutely no difference in their evi dent intent. Can you tell me where they differ T" - Ill hearers could not. "I say to you young fellows to take both platforms home with you tonight, and read them carefully. Then vote for the candidate who stands upon a plat form which represents the best inter ests of the Pacific coast.

Bepnblloan Misdeed. "No laboring man in this west can afford to vote the Republican ticket. The Republicans have declared not only for the admission of the Japanese to this country, but they want them ad mitted to cltlsenship. They have forced tne state scnoois to admit Japanese into school along with our own children. They are encouraging their coming into this country to compete with the whtta labor of this coast? "Is that to 4he interests of the Pa cific coast? - "The -Democratic platform declares unequivocally for excluding of Japanese and all Asiatic labor. It declares for mors forts, belter coast defense and more navy to protect our coast from Japan. COME TO THE JOURNAL OFFICE TONIGHT TO HEAR THE RETURNS Oh, listen to the band!

WARD OFF THUGS first glance, but a word will explain lanterns. Yes,-sir; every man, woman and child in the village down the river has a lantern. That's because the streets are dark and holdup men lurk in unexpected cor ners. The people carry lights so they can see to aim the huge revolver which every one, or nearly every one, also carries. . Thereby they also avoid running over the vigilant police foroe, whlh lurks in unexpected corners. The police foroe numbers one, and it would never do, you know, to trample on it by mistake.

In addition to the prison sentence Morgan was 'fined $250 by Judge Wolverton in the federal court here more than year ago. The petition requests 1 that the fine be remitted.

W hen young Morgan was Sent til It" was nereed by- the government of flciais, owing to the, fact that Morgan had confessed, that he should be trained as an architect while serving time, as he had displayod considerable ability in that direction. Morgan's confession Implicated Jack Mclntyre as the man who had raised the tl bills to the denomination of $10. The job was one of the cleverest that had ever been shown to tne government officials In 'Portland. The work was done by hand and when complete the bills looked like the genuine. and while being brought to Portland Jby a deputy i nlted Htates marshal made sensational escape from a moving train and has never been recaDtured. Mor gan said that Mclntyre had learned the art of raising bills at a school in New York which was attended only by crooks and the classes of which were taught by crooks of long experience. All the teachers were experts and could turn a $1 bill Into a $10 affair almost in tne twinkling or an eye. The petition has b een referred to James Cole, former assistant United C. States attorney, who handled the case for the government. Upon Mr. Cole's report Mr. Mcuourt win make his rec- i ommendatlon to the C'nlted States par- don attorney at Washington.
