Details of Bnmored, rran-np. - 'Said article purports to give a ru mor to the effect that upon tha death of Senator Heybarn an agreement wa made whereby Judge AJIshte was to re ceive sufficient support to elect him United States senator and that Judge Budge of the Fifth judicial district court would be elevated from the dis trict Court bench to the supreme bench to fill the vacancy caused by the elect ion. Of Judge Ailale. and that in order to carry this plan to completion, it would be necessary fo procure the elec tion ofllalnea aa oer noajii At order i to satisfy the parties who were in the combination, the Roosevelt elecitors ware eliminated- from the ticket by a decision 6 the Supreme court upon a suit filed for tnat purpose, and that In order to obtain a unanimous decision of the supreme court,' it was necessary to take care of Judge Stewart, who was a aodidats for, re-election, and that If thi combination could be carried out by the' court on Its part by rendering said decision, the southeastern, or Mor mon counties, would support Judge Stewart and Haines and the entire re publican ticket. The viciousness and absurdity of this statement are made apparent at. once when attention is call ed to the fact that Senator Heyburn s death occurred unexpectedly ten days after the decision of the Spofford case was rendered. The direct charge is there made against the court that it rendered aid decision by reason of a political trade . or bargain and not on the law and facts. What greater wrong "can be charged against a court than that its decision 'was obtained by a political trad or bargain? Offiolal corruption of ths' worst-kind , is there charged. That charge was made recklessly and de liberately, and is a criminal contempt. In effect It charge the judge with the violation Of their official oaths and (he court with being actuated by motives a base as any human mind can conceive.'-: "It Trn, Impeachment Merited." The charges made lit those publica tion were of an extraordinary charac ter, and If true are sufficient to war rant the impeachment of the members of said court They were intended to degrade the court and bring it into the contempt of, the people. They were made for bSse political purposes, and charge the court with improper ana criminal personal and poltlcal motive).. They require, no inuendoes to explain them. Many of them were repeated time and again and emphasized by print ing in capital letters, showing the mali ciousness qf the publishers. They were intended to, raise a popular clamor against the court. There was an at tempt by wanton ' defamation and false hood to Insult and intimidate the judges and degrade- the court and destroy its power and Influence and to Inflame and prejudice the people. The liberty of the press Is often claimed as a cover by character assassins to gratify ill will and passion or to pander to the paxslon and prejudice of others. The liberty of the press in its true sense must be up held, but flagrant abuses of thatliberty must be punished.' Trial by Jury Denied. The majority justices quoted adverse precedents, and brought forth reasoning to dispose of the plea that the state, and not the coutt should have been made plaintiff; this was to justify the denial of trial by Jury, which denial carried with It also the denial of the opportun ity to test Jn. open court the truth or falsity of the charge of political con spiracy, Case Etill Pending. As to the plea of the plaintiffs that criticisms and charges had been made in relation ta a case already decided, the court reviewed the record and stated that, while u was true tnut tne original ae- etBlon that in the ballot casewas ren dered ott October 8. a "petition for rei hearing, filed October 15, waa acted upon October 23, being then denied, and that the case was pending until the lat ter date, before which time the public tion of much of the offensive matter was made. Justice Allehte, indeed, eon tended that the publication of charges during the pending Of a petition for re hearing positively aggravated the al Jeg4pficn'sej ' ",v ' Court's Oaae Xn Brief. .

Beoonu Stats Manager. Starting a an extreme progressive and supporter of La Follettc, McCusker became the State manager of the Wis consin senator's campaign. A a dele gate to the national convention, elected on a pledge to support "Roouevelt-L Folic tie policies," ho waa strongly op posed to Roosevelt He remained In the regular convention, refusing to bolt wllh Rooseveltv out voted for Roosevelt In accordance with , the Instructions of the Republican voters of Oregon. That started a feud between Mc Cusker and the Roosevelt men, which reached a climax when McCusker be came an Independent candidate for con gress, .iwlth tho backing of the Taft men, and came to ultra-climax when Roosevelt, on his visit to Portland, de nounced the Lu Follette leader a a "Judas." , In proportion as McCusker was de nounced by Roosevelt, he grew In the estimation of William. He had voted for Williams for national committee man, declaring that he had to do this to defeat Henry Waldo Coe and Bruce Dennis. In the race for congress he took third place, but he made a lodging place for the Taft voters, who would support neither Lafferty, a Bull Moos er, or Munly, the Democrat ' Tagged for Mrshlshlp. All thi accounts for the availability of McCusker, As for Burgard,. he Wa a member of the Taft campaign com mittee, waa frlehdly with William, and waa-a .supporter of Bourne for sen ator. Here was another favorable com bination that, fit the situation, and af ter putting, McCusker down for the postimtstershlp, thenct atral-th4nf was to give Burgard the collectorshlp, which yield equal pay. - B. C. Klrkpalrlcfc of Dallas has been tagged for a 40UQ Job in the shape of the,' United States iarshalship. He conies from the home twn of Williams and his appointment is In the nature of a personal Selection of the national committeeman. He ha not been prom inent in politics. D. U. Keyt of Perrydale is to have the place of surveyor of customs, $3000 per year,, barring- Democratic accidents. He 1b not widely known among the po litical sharks. Another $3000 Job, ap praiser of customs at Portland, is planned to fall to C. V. Johnson of Corvallls, who is vow holding the Job by recess appointment. All five of the chosen ones, represent ing jobs of a gross value of $12,000 a year, are dependent on the wind of po litical fortune In the United States senate between now and the .fourth day of March. If Democratic senator yield a few large points, they will go in. Otherwise, this $22,000 will vanish from their sight, and some of the Democratic faithful will swallow it up under the favor of President Woodrow Wilson.
