BRYAN BOLTS
STATE TICKET
Announces That He Will Nt
Support Dahlman for Gov
ernor. 'ALLEGIANCE TO COUNTY
OPTION PRECLUDES IT
Peerless Leader" Regrets That be la
Compelled to Take Stand Rut Feels
it Is Ills Duty Position of Demo
cratic Nominee on Liquor Question
Prevents Ulm From Giving Assist
aiiee Statement la Apologetic in
Tone.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21. In a state,
mcnt In which he declares that the
crusude which he feels Impelled to
wage against the liquor Interests of
the state and nation overshadows a
personal and political friendship of
10 years, William J. Bryan lost even
ing announced he had bolted the head
of the democratic ticket in Nebraska
and would not support James C.
Dahlman for governor.
Mr. Bryan says he regrets that he
la compelled to take the stand he does
his first departure from political
regularity but says he feels It his
duty to do so because of the position
taken by the democratic nominee on
the liquor question.
The statement, which In a way Is
apologetic In tone, does not Indicate
that Mr. Bryan will support the can
didate of any other party, but an
nounces that he Is a pronounced ad
vocate of county option and the early
aloon closing law, both of which he
insists are menaced by Mr. Dahl
man'! candidacy. The statement fol
lows: "I am just leaving for Missouri, and
hall be absent practically all of the
time for about a mont) campaign
ing In Missouri Kansas, Iowa, Indi
ana and Illinois. After that I shall
be at liberty to speak for Mr. Hitch
cock, the democratic candidate for
congress, and for the state ticket In
Nebraska.
"In speaking for the state ticket,
however, I shall not be able to pres
ent any argument in favor of the elec
tion of Mr. Dahlman. His position
on the liquor question makes that Im.
possible. I regret this exceedingly,
for he has been a political and per
eonal friend for 20 years, and it would
give me great pleasure If I could en
dorse the policy for which he stands,
but h has chosen to make the li
quor question the paramount issue,
nd make his appeal on that Issue.
"In spite of the fact that the last
democratic state convention voted
down a declaration against county
option by a vote of 838 to 202, he says
that he will veto a county option bill
tf passed, and In spite of the fact that
the state convention endorsed the I
o'clock closing law by a vote of 710
to 1(3, he announced that he will sign
a bill repealing It If such a bill Is
passed.
"He Is making his appeal on non
partisan lines with the liquor ques
tion as the sole issue. His courage is
to be commended. It is an honest
way of making a campaign, although
It compels him to separate himself
from friends who do not agree with
him and to rely for speechmaklng on
those democrats and republican who
take his view of the subject
"Possibly it Is Just as well to have
the issue clearly presented so that It
may be settled this year instead of
two years hence. Troublesome aa the
. question Is now. It would even be more
embarra.slng if presented In 1912
when we have a presidential election
on hand.
"If Mr. Dahlman Is elected. It will
bo a declaration of the voter of the
tate against county option and against
the 8 o'clock closing law. If he Is
defeated It will be a declaration In fa.
vor of county option and In favor of
the 8 o'clock closing law. In other
words, the voters now have an op
portunity, to decide whether the state
ahall go backward or forward on the
liquor question.
"To present arguments In favor of
going backward would only contra
dict what statements I expect to make
hereafter to save our party from the
odium of .being the representative of
liquor Interests."

OTHER CONGRESSMEN
ARE RENOMINATED
Another Decisive Blow Given to
Standpatters by Defeat of Cannon's
Right Hand Man Has Served SJate
For Eighteen Years In House and
Was Chairman of Committee on
Appropriations Nye Wins Oat Af
ter Hard Fight,
Minneapolis, Sept 21. James Taw.
ney, chairman of the house commit
tee on appropriations and Speaker
Cannon's right hand man, was defeat,
ed for renominatlon to congress in the
first district yesterday by a plurality
of 300 by his opponent Sidney An
derson, an insurgent. Tawney virtu
ally conceded his defeat today. He
was openly supported by Taft's ad
ministration. The fight which led up to the pri
maries yesterday was the most bitter
In which Congressman Tawney has
figured in his 18 years aa representa
tive from the first district. Anderson,
a young lawer residing at Lanesboro,
came into the opposition to Tawney
late but immediately began his whirl
wind campaign. It was fought en.
tirely along insurgent lines.
He fought Tawney as Cannonlte,
the only man In the Minnesota del
egatlon who voted for the tariff bill,
and an enemy of Roosevelt.
The address of the 'ex-president at
the St Paul conservation congress in
which he struck directly at Tawney
served as another bomb for Ander
sen. On Labor Day. at Rochester, Gif
ford Plnchot delivered an address un.
solicited, It was claimed. In which he
attacked the record of Tawney. The
tatter's reply to this attack in which
he charged Plnchot with improper
use of public moneys and with de
feating the free lumber tariff bill,
proved Mr. Tawney'a only speech In
the primaries.
Returns from 260 of the 271 pre
clncts have been received. Congress
man Nye in the fifth district was re
nominated after a hard fight and al
so Congressman Stevens.
Insurgents Are Jubilant
Washington, Sept. 21. Congress
man Tawney's defeat In Minnesota is
hailed as an important victory 'by the
insurgents. They consider Tawnoy
next In power to Cannon and believe
his views on conservation, which are
opposed to Roosevelt and his allegi
ance to the present tariff caused his
downfall.. If the next house is re
publican it is predicted Smith if
Iowa, will be chairman of the appro
priations committee.

Cincinnati, Sept. 21. Favoring riv
er and harbor improvements but at
tacking the pork barrel method of
making appropriations for such work
President Taft today made the prin
cipal address at i'.-.c opening oi the
Ohio river dam. He said he saw no
reason why the steamships could not
run on schedules like trains and that
he considered piecemeal river im
provements Inadequate. He said such
a system encouraged other sections
to make unecessary demands for ap
propriations. He severely .censured
the methods of congressmen who get
together to trade votes for river im
provements which will benefit only a
small section of the country but
spend money put up by the whole.
"The cost of Improving the Ohio
river,' said Taft, "will be upwards of
$63,000,000. The plan is to appro
priate sufficient money annually to
complete the work in twelve years. I
wish that congress had arranged to
expend the money in a less time and
complete the work more quickly. The
completion is Important for its Im
mediate benefit commercially and al
so Important to vindicate or discour
age further investments of this kind
In other directions."

Snead, two of the three Wardlaw sis
ters who were accused of the murder
of Mrs. Ocey Snead, trie East Orange

One of the accused sisters died re
cently and this has resulted in a le
gal tangle that may cause another
postponement -
Un November 29 last the body of
Ocey Snead was found in a bathtub
of a house in East Orange. An in
vestigation showed that the three
elderly Wardlaw sisters held insurance
on her life for large sums. They
were then arrested and Indicted. Mis
Virginia Wardlaw, one of the defend
ants, became ill shortly after her In
carceration in jail and died recently.
It is stated that the defense will
introduce about eighty witnesses in
an attempt to controvert the case of
the prosecut'on. The evidence agalnnt
the accused woman is very strong, ac
cording to the attorneys for the pros
ecution. STEAMER PAY STREAK

ers who believe that the little fellow
win make some of the best of them
ride, if they carry off first honors.
AH of the horses secured yesterJay
are known to be good buckers, but
Sheriff Taylor says it will be necessary
to have 10 or 16 more in order to In
sure a successful exhibition in this
part of the big show. Even more
could be used to advantage. Several
of those who promised to get horses,
have not yet been heard from and he
la In hopes that each of them will

with from one to half a dozen horses
each.
TEDDY AND SHERMAN
HAVE EQUAL CHANCE
New York, Sept. 21. Returns from
the nominating delegates to the Sara
toga convention indicate that the con
test for control of the republican
convention between ' Roosevelt and
Sherman will tbe sharp. William
Barnes claims Sherman's majority
will be 55, while Lloyd Griscom,
Roosevelt's lieutenant, asserts the
colonel will have 70 majority. The
latest figures make It likely that the
majority will not be over 15 either
way. The latest estimates of politi
cians show the regulars can count on
492 delegates. Roosevelt, according
to this estimate, cannot count abso
lutely on more than 478 . It requires
508 to control the convention. Sher
man was defeated yesterday In his
own ward and district.
It is believed the real fight will r.o
In the resolutions fommittee. Roose
velt, uriBcom. Fashett and Greiner,
all members, will urge the adoption
of a direct nomination plank. The
speaker of the lower house of New
York legislature will opose It with
Barnes.
HEAR BEER SELLERS
INDICTED BY JURY
NAMES OF PARTIES KEPT
SECRET UNTIL ARRESTS
About Twenty Dispensers of Imitation
Beer Under Ban of Law Guilt Slay
Not Mean Imprisonment.
In the neighborhood of 20 Indict
ments were returned this afternoon
by the grand Jury which has been In
vestigating alleged violations of the
local option law since last Monday.
The exact number of true bills re
turned nor the names of those under
indictment have not yet been given
out and probably will not be until
after the sheriff has had time to make
arrests. ...
It seems that the reports which
were current on the streets yesterday
were greatly exaggerated, since It Its
understood today that most of those
indicted were Pendleton "near beer"
dealers, there being complaints
against but few outside of this city.
It is also understood that the law
enforcing league's committee failed to
visit all the near beer saloons in Pen
dleton, having passed up some of the
largest ones. -
According to District Attorney
Thelps a conviction under the pres
ent Indictments will not necessarily
mean Jail sentences. While It is prob
able that a moral Interpretation of the
law would call this a "second offense."
it is possible of a different technical
Interpretation. The district attorney
seems to be of the opinion that it
will be Interpreted as a "first" of
fense. This is due to the fact that
the cases pending on appeal before the
supreme court have not yet been de
cided. It Is possible that thoBe in
dicted this time will endeavor to se
cure a postponment of a hearing of
their cases until after the supreme
court decision Is handed down.
The only Indictment made public
s-j far Is the one against Dave Myers,
who la accused of stealing a vacuum
cleaner from his brother-in-law,
Louis Cargill. Myers Is now under
arrest in Canada and will be brought
back to Pendleton.
