Motion Will Be Made to Bring
Entire Record Before the
Supreme Court.
Washington. Oct. 21. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
In an effort to clear away all legal
cobwebs surrounding the Oregon &
California laud grant legislation the
the department oT Justice through the
solicitor general on Monday will sub
mit a motion before the supreme court
for a writ of certiorari to bring the
crtire record from the court of ap
pals. Tho court, it will be remembered,
certified certain questions to the su
preme court for answer urising from
District Federal Judgo Wolverton's
court. The government vill contend
that many of the uuestions thus certi
fied have become moot, that the situ
ation is radically changed by enact
ment of the Cha7n'-erh-.in-Ferrts bill
and that the supremo court ts now in
a position to finally define tho rail
road company's interest in the lands,
avoiding the necessity for any future
litigation over tho recent act of con
gress. The government will also file a mo
tion to advance tiie case on the docket.
If this is granted the matter may soon
be brought to issue. The government's
motion to bring the entire record be
fore the supreme court is explained as
an effort to forestall threatened liti
gation by the railroad by bringing out
the whole situation, including the set

Refnsed to Be Delivered,
The convention adjourned, the dele
gates returning to their homes to wuna
the fight for thHr nominee. But llvey
had placed too much confidence in l ho
colonel's ringing words of self conse
cration to a great cause. When it was
too lute for the party to choose an
other leader, Roosevelt betrayed them
by refusing to accept the nomination
and endeavoring to deliver them in a
body to the same old bosses who were
in control of the Republican party.
Bainbridge Colby was one of the
many who refused to be delivered, and
he turned to Woodrow Wilson as tho
representative of the progressive spirit
of the nation today, lie has been mak
ing a remarkable campaign for Wilson,
dpaLVin iri'Diens crowds and making
telling speeches.
Tells Why He Is Progressiva.
Mr. Colby arrived at 1 :5o this after
noon from California. He was met at
Paltm by Samuel White and accom
panied to this city.
"Why are you campaigning for Pres
ident Wilson?" he was asked.
"Because he is the foremost Progres
sive In this nation today." wan the
cjuiek reply. "His record of progres
sive legislation surpasses, in my
judgment, what the Progressive party
itself could have accomplished had it
sui eeded in 1912.
"1 have been campaigning In eight
states and everywhere I have met
i most
extraordinary evidences of en
thusiasm for Air. Wilson, lie is sure
to id-rive the support of over half it j
ihe Progressive i,f lli,. eounlry. J

New York for Wilson.
"New Vork Is sure for Wilson This
has been practically conceded for tln
last two weeks' b' the New Vork
Herald, which is a most rabid parti
san Hughes.
"Why did I not follow Roosevel ?
I refused to allow Mr. Roosevelt to
conduct me hack to standpatlsm. i
was a follower of him ns long as he
served the principles of the Progres
sive parly. But I was not willing to
serve his personal antipathies, whlcn
have brought him to a point where
he has abandoned the par'y and prin
ciples which he on-ee referred to as
his confession of faith.
"The pi-ople see through the spur
ious and transparent campaign which
is being waxed against Mr. Wilson,
and they are not interested in the
merging of hatred, as between Roose
velt and Taft anil Hughes, nor are,
they being won by the hurling of
epithets at the president."
