The significance of this action by the democracy of Ohio cannot be over estimated in Its bearing on the next presidential election, when it is recalled that four years ago Tom j Johnson was an apology and a I scarecrow lrom which all but a mere nanuiui or lacucais ran away. At that time the party's counsels were dominated by Mcl.aln, whose conservatism has shelved him. though his Influence Is felt in tho convention today as an adherent of the ZImmeimnn taction, which is badly outnumbered.

In a let ter from Tientsin lo Dr. W. S. Thome, of this city, Judge W. B.

Anderson, of Spokane, representing Philadelphia capital. The deal, Including the purchase of Ihe Pendleton light plant, has been under way for over a 111011II1. r.nd was consummated as a result or the extension of the franchise or the Wnlla Walla Light Company, by that city, recently. The price paid ror the Wrll'i ilia plant Is said to be 1S0.00(I includ ing all accounts outstanding, and Mr Anderson proposes to expend S"5li urn) in perfecting the original plans of the company to construct u power and light transmission line be tween Walla Walla and this city. All the Intermediate towns between the two cities will bo furnished with power and light and the syBteni w II he the largest and most complete in the West with tho exception of the Oregon City and the proposed Mt. Rainier plants. Tho sale of tho Pendleton light plant lias been practically closed tor six weeks. Mr. Anderson put up a $2 500 forfeit to bind tho deal, which was to be consummated when tue Walln Wulla city council extended the franchise of tho light company in that city. Municipal Ownership Chosen by Acclamation, I laxers and socialists, all of whom j are outspoken advocates of govern ment and municipal ownership of all public utilities. So the reiteration of the Kansas City platform is held, and perhaps Justly, to bo a prophecy of extreme radicalism. The conservatives, or reactionists, are seconded by the republicans in holding that the platform as such will be completely covered up by the conditions In this state forcing a campaign for and against issues hardiy touched upon In tho docu ment Itself. The dominance of the Johnson el ement is held lo presage the devel opment of extreme radicalism in tho counsels of the party next year, as there is no possible disguising John son's loyalty and adheience to sin-gle-taxlsm and state socialism, and the Impossibility of divorcing a cam paign lrom a discussion of the merits and demerits of those Issues Is ap parent and recognized by everyone, with Johnson In the saddle.

POWER COMPANY In tlie meantime, tho directors of tho Walla Walla company have se emed the passage of the franchlso ordinances upon which depended the sale or the two plants, and the for mal transfer of the property in Walla Walla last night means that the Pendleton property is to pass Into the same hands.
