He will tell the legislature what he wants done and then he will go to Washington and drape a senatorial toga about himself. The legislature is strorrgly pro Johnson and It Is believed the gov ernor's " program will be" carried through without alteration. Anyway, Johnson himself will not have the power of veto over any of the legisla ture'a acts, for he will have to quit the governor's, off ice before any of the measures actually are passed. Johnson will leave the helm of the elate of California to William D. Stephens, lieutenant governor, who re signed from congress to accept the po sition he now holds. The legislature meets Monday for three weeks to introduce bills. At the end of three weeks H will adjourn for a month, and then meet again to grind out the legislation. Johnson will leave with the legisla ture a well defined program of Import ant legislation. It Includes tax re vision, coclal insurance, county local option, rural credits and state mar keting offarm produce. I Stephens has acted in accord with Johnson's policies since his appoint ment as lieutenant governor and has declared he will carry through John son's program when he Jsecomes gov ernor. The same election which swept Johnson into the United States senate elected a number of state senators and representatives who axe in har mony with his policies. Therefore, no such acrimonious controversies as marked the 1915 session are" antici pated in the legislature when It con venes Monday. Medford Interested In Coming Election Medford, Or.. Jan. 6. City election v ill be held next Tuesday. January 9, to name a mayor and three councilmen and decide issues. The chief issue centers in the two pr?po.sed rlans for overcoming finan cial embarrassments of tha municipal ity. One is the Hanson plan, designed to refinance the city in all its depart ments. The other, the Medynski plan, setks only to remedy alleged defects in the paving assessment muddle. Par tisans of the two plans are waging an earnest campaign. Mass meetings are being held and public debaters chal lenged. H. O. Nordwick, owner of the Med ford flour mills, is the third candidate tc file for mayor. He represents neither plan, but promises to attempt conscientiously to execute the condi tions of either plan adopted by a vote of the people. ' C. K. Gates is the business men's candidate, while F.

Berne, ' Jan. 6. Switzerland's new president assumed the duties of his of fice January 1. He is Edmund Schult hess of Brugg, Canton of Aargau. for mer vice-president of the confederation, and an eminent lawyer and statesman, who has been serving as the head of the national "department of public econ omy. In the year 1914, when the war broke out. It was Dr. Arthur Hoffman, of St. Gall, also a German-Swiss, who was the nation's chief executive. Dr. Gui seppe Motta, a representative of the Italian-speaking Canton of Ticlno, suc ceeded him for 1915, and a French Swiss, Mr., Camilla Decoppet, has been holding the president's office for 1316. This arrangement illustrates the care ful consideration which is shown to each region of the Alpine republic, and this is also the reason why the Hwlss nation, former! by a German-French-Italian-and-Romansch speaking popula tion, are a peacefully and harmonious ly united people. Mr. Schulthess was born In year 1868 at VUlnachern near the Baths of Schinsnach, in the Canton of Aargau, but raised in the nearby town of Brugg. He received his education in the excel lent schools of his native canton, and after studying law at Strassburg, Ma niPh. Leipzig and Berne, he settled down in that profession at Brugg. He started his political career at the age of 25, and rapidly advanced until he was elected into the Federal Council on July 17. 1912. The vice-president-elect is Dr. Felix Calonder, of Trins, Canton of the Gri sons, where the Homansch language is still spoken by a fair part of the popu lation. Dr. Calonder was born in the year 18SS. He, too, is a brilliant pon tician, and. like all the present mem bers of the federal council, a lawyer by profession. If the suggested peace conference should be held in Switzerland, which is quite possible, in view of the country's geographical position and her self-sacrificing activity on behalf of her suf fering neighbors, the two newly elected men will play particularly prominent roles.

"Lewis had studied law and knew his rights," said the detective head. If he had committed suicide fftom fear he would have left a note. He would have spared his parents their anguish.-' These words, so far as the police are concerned, seem to close the story of the pretty country girl who had Cone to the city to "see life, had held men of wealth and prominence in the palm of her hand, and then paid the price.

Pittsburg. Pa., Jan. 6. In a letter to James S. McFaydan, one of his friends here, Bernard W. Lewis, whose suicide in Atlantic City occurred as he was about to be arrested in connection with the murder of Maizie Colbert, wrote on December 17 that he planned to commit suicide. He asked McKay dan to take care of bis wife, Mrs. Laura Lewis, and his daughter, Betty. The letter in part reads: "Before you get this letter I will have paid for my mistakes. You were one real friend upon whom I could rely. This is my last request to you. Please, so long as you live, see that no harm conies to Laura and Betty and tell Betty about all the pitfalls ahead of her. so she may miss them. I'd do this for yon if the tables were reversed, and I ask you in God's name to look out for Laura and Betty. I aia only a wreck now. but they must have some peace and happiness.
