RACE FOR PRESIDENT OF ;. ,

Reception tA Old arid New Of-
ncers to oe uiven inosi
Thursday Ntir"-J fW
The most hotly contested election
since the Portland Press club elected its
first set of offloers occurred yesterday,
when John T, Dougall of the Spectator
was elected president Of the club to
succeed John L. Travis of The Journal.
So close was the race that a difference
of, three votes would have raised the
lowest candidate to winning place.
Next to president, the contest for
directors, of whom seven were chosen,
was the keenest- The popularity of
Charles W. Myers of the Oregonlan. the
leading candidate for director, was at
tested by a practically unanimous vote.
At the norainatlner meeting Mr. Myers
declined the opportunity to run for every
office save that of treasurer, before
accepting u directorship nomination,
A. R. Slay maker of The Journal; M. B.
Goldstein, deputy county clerk; IL E.
Thomas -of the Oregonlan, were unani
mously elected vice presidents, . as was
also Carl 8. Kelt y of the Lumbermen
National bank, who has been the club's
treasurer almost from its inception
The election of W. 8. Watson, libra
rian historian, and t It Gregory, as
sistant secretary, were complimentary,
the nominees for these offices not hav
ing qualified. Their names were writ
ten In. Both are members of the Ore.
gonlan staff.
In voting for theso offices the mam.
bers spread their compliments over a
wide range. Among those who received
complimentary ' votes -were Governor
West, Mayor Albee, 3. S. Jackson of The
journal ana w. ju. taper oi me vre

John T. DougalL the new president
of th club, Is city editor and business
manager of the Spectator, and for two
yearn past has been a member of the
Press club -directorate. It is expected
that the club will continue under his
leadership the prosperity that has ex
isted under the administration of Presi
dent Travis. At the annual meeting of
the club next Sunday it is stated that
the reports to be made will show a
prosperity that will reflect great credit
on the retiring administration. ,

statute. In my view, must e
construed in the light of reason, and In
(hat spirit of Justice which is the pur

guilty or innocent of the crime charged
In the tndjstment? "hHio;.
On the question of caro to bs exer
cised by a public official In safeguard
ing public money, the court Instructed
as follows: -
''These funds are placed in the custody
of the county clerk for safe keeping.
The law docs not prescribe any particu
lar depository in which such funds shall
be kept The duty Imposed upon him
to keep such funds safely requires him
to exercise a very high degree of care
and diligence to that end. : , 1 '
Official Must Exercise Care.
, "He occupies a relation of publio trust
and he is required to exercise the high
est degree of care and diligence for
the safety of suoh funds that an ordi
nary man with honest and conscientious
purpose could exercise in his situation.
He ts not obliged to give his whole time
and attention, to this duty, because he
has other Important duties which ' he
must perform. , The degree of car and
diligence which I have indicated im
plies an honest and conscientious dis
charge of duly.
"If you find in this case that the de
fendant exercised such a high degree
of oar and diligence as X have defined,'
honestly and- . conscientiously,1 and,
through some cause beyond his control
. i JH- . .. , . ., ; ... ..... .
and which he could not have foreseen
and preVonted by such degree of care
and diligence, he Js unable to pay- over
the money, then he is not guilty of any
crime whatever his civil liability might
be. and If you so find In this case, you
Should return a verdict of not guilty.
.."Whether the defendant ' exercised
such a degree" of care and diligence for
the safety of these funds is a question
you should determine from all' the evi
dence in the case.'
.wf.vjyl'wtda. Kay B eposit,;: t.(;
, -"I have -said that the iavf does not
prescribe any particular depository in
which such funds should be kept. The
county clerk is required to keep , such
funds safely, and for .that purpose he
may deposit them in a bank, provided
they are at all , times subject to his
order and there is no fixed period dur
ing, which he had no right to1 demand
their return, but he may. not loan them,
with or without interest" ...
.Relative to tho receipt of interest, the
corrt said:
' "If a county clerk receives interest on
the dally deposits of publio funds, such
conduct is not a violation of law, if
thorn-bo. 1p. oJf ouch- fjjnds-and there
is no "charge of a loan, with or without
interest. The evidence relating to In
terest .was received in connection with
all other evidence In the case for what-1
ever tendency It might linve to. prove or ,
disprove the chatfte in this Indictment." j
The pivotal point in the tas4 Was the !
question of care and diligence exer-'
cIscd. '.The state tontended that In addi
tion to making an unlawful line of the
money by converting it into time certlf
cates of . deposits, - the -. defendant, did
not exercise proper care in safeguard
