Brands Dowerman as Corporation Man Other Candidates Speak.
"Jay Bowerman and I are about
the same age," said Oswald West last
evening in addressing the largest
democratic rally held In Pendleton in
many years. "We entered public life
at about the same time and now as
candidates for the same office, I am
running upon my past record and he
la running away from his."
In defense of the criticism that he
was a friend of Senator Chamberlain,
he admitted the truth of the allega
tion and declared that he was proud
of that friendship. "Jay Bowerman
In his earnest desire to be made gov
ernor of Oregon can repudiate his
friends of the assembly If he desires
but I will go down to defeat true to
my friends before I will seek victory
as a traitor to those friends."
"Rankest Kind of Rot."
In speaking on this subject. West
said: "The talk of a Bourne-Cham-berlaln-West
combine is the rankest
kind of rot I haven't seen Senator
Bourne but once In over two years
and that was when I met with the
Oregon delegation In Secretary Bal
Unger's office In Washington, about
the first of the year, to go over the
fillet matter.
"Senator Bourne has never asked
me for a favor In, his life, nor have
I ever asked him for one. I have
recelved no word from him by letter
or otherwise, directly dr Indirectly,
regarding this campaign. None of
hls friends or supporters have come
to me with offers of support and for
exaction of promises In event of elec
tion. All I know about his support
Is what I have seen In the newspapers.
If he and his friends are going to
support me I assure them I appreci
ate It Just the same as I appreciate
the support of other republicans who
are wHh me In this fight If I am
elected. Senator Bourne and every
other republican will be given a
square deal no more and no less.
That Is all they hnve a right to expect
and I believe all they expect.

speaker declared that while Bower

was running on a platform of what he

that if he did, all the crooks In the

Mission Meeting.
Boston, Oct. 19. One of the most
important auxiliary meetings of the
congregational national convention
was held today by the American Mis
sionary association, which maintains
work among Eskimos, Indians, ne
groes, Hawaiians and Porto RIcans,
and also assists Blue Ridge moun
taineers. This association, according
to reports presented today. Is sup
ported chiefly by Congregatlonalists,
although it is aided by men of other
denominations. It expends $250,000
a year from contributors and $200,
000 a year from churches in carrying
on its work. This year It carried out
a work larger than ever, with practi
cal results, because of an industrial
educational nature. The association
faces a deficit, but this will probably
be paid off by delegates to the con-
! vention.

MADE A CRIMINAL
BY THE USE OF DRUGS.

and brought here to stand trial for
another offense.
A year ago the Virginian was ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenced
to a year In prison at Philadelphia
for having blackmailed the late Pre
ldent Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
railroad. His term of confinement
ends today, but he will have to face
trial here on the charge of having

warding threatening letters.
Relatives and friends of the former
mayor say he Is mentally unhinged
from the persistent use of cannabel
loe, a mysterious drug alleged to have
been discovered and used by the Par
soe priests of India. It Is alleged
that the tendency of the potion Is to
deaden the sense of moral responsi

man to conduct a defense on these
lines.
