Do the republican voters of Uma
tllla county want their county organ
ization to fight the Eastern Oregon
State Normal school? Do they want
their party placed In the position of
fighting the educational Interests of
this county and of eastern Oregon?
This Is the position In which the re-
. publican party In Umatilla county
has been placed by E. W. McComas,
chairman of the county central conv
mlttee otherwise known as the as
embly machine.
The slnte which Is published above
Is an exact reproduction of a card
that was handed Saturday by IB. W,
McComas to a republican voter In this
city. This card is now In the posses
Ion of the East Oregonlan and will
be shown to anyone desiring to see It
It Is currently understood that these
cards are being handed out generally
to voters with the suggestion that
they follow the slate In voting tomor
row. They are Intended primarily for
use by Ignorant or poorly Informed
voters whom the machine Is striving
to control tomorrow.
Tn explanation of the slate It may
be said that the numbers given cor
respond to the numbers upon the of
ficial ballot. No. 302 and 328 are In-
latlve measures that are endorsed.
Upon nil other measures the assem
bly machine wants people to vote No.
The Initiative measure providing for
permanent support for the Eastern
Oregon State Normal school Is one
of these. The normal school's nam
ber Is 838. In other words, the East
ern Oregon normal school Is marked
for slnughter by the machine.
The three numbers underscored up
on the slate are those of Burgess.
Gllllland and Houser. Evidently the
machine Is anxious to elect these men
even If other candidates are defeat
ed. The committee Is showing fa-
Torltlsm to these candidates. It Is
favoring the election of Houser fjr
, Bherlff. although T. D. Taylor was
given the republican nomination at
the primary election.
What do the republican voters of
this county think of this style of
politics?

DIVISIOH STAND
Opponents of J. B. Saylor, candi
date for county (commissioner, are
endeavoring to Job him with respects
to his attitude upon county division.
In the east end of the county they
seek to show that he opposes division
in this city and In the west end they
are striving to paint him as a divl-
slonlst. Mr. Saylor himself Is here
today and In speaking of this subject,
said:
"I have investments In the east end
of the county and also at Echo, where
I am the president of the Echo bank.
Therefore I am taking no radical
htand either for or against county di
vision. At a meeting held at Fern-
dale when the subject first came up
some people Insisted I serve as chair
man and I did so. That meeting was
called to discuss the subject, not to
tnko nnv nnrtleular side unon the
question. At the request of nefgh-
bors and friends in the east end of
the county I contributed $10 to the
division fund. As the question of
county division will be settled by the
people of the state tomorrow, that
is something'that need not enter Into
the race for comlssloner. If I am
elected commissioner the division
controversy will not prevent me from
performing my duties fairly and
faithfully."

confident of success.
ROOSEVELT MAKES A
WHIRLWIND FINISH
New York, Nov. 7. Colonel Roos
evelt made a whirlwind finish to his
campaign for Stlmson today. He made
a number of fifteen minute speeches
on the east side. He goes to Oyster
Bay tonight to vote.
One week ago today the East Ore
gonlan charged that In November,
1908, J. N. Burgess, while president
of the state woolgrowers' association,
delivered an address in which he urg
ed the sheepmen of the state to unite
in trying to keep tho legislature from
electing Governor Chamberlnin as sen
ator.. The charge was based upon on
extract from the annual address de
livered by Mr. Burgess. That address
was published In full in the Heppner
Gazette of November 16, 1908. A
copy of that paper is in the posses
sion of the East Oregonlan and will
be shown to anyone Interested In this
matter.
In the course of his annual address
Mr. Burgess discussed the proposi
tion of keeping the tariff on wool. He
expressed a great desire to see the ex
isting tariff maintained and said:
"We can never do it by electing a
democratic United States senator to
represent us at the national capital.
To to this It will be necessary to have
the proper representative at Wash
ington, men who will have influence
with the administration and who are
lined up with the majority In con
gress. This cannot be done by send
ing a minority senator from this state,
and I trust that every sheepman in
this state will give his support and
assistance to the election of a man
whose political affiliations and whose
past principles and present policies
assures the woolgrowers of this state
that lie will stand for no redaction In

erator Stewart Third Man Arrest
ed Implicated 1 Grain Thefts.
Two more prisoners are occupying
cells in the county Jail today as the
result of the vigilance and efficiency
of Sheriff T. D. Taylor and deputies.
They are W. W. Williams, regarded as
one of the smoothest bad check artists
that ever operated In this county, and
George Stewart, a warehouse employe
who Is charged with being Implicat
ed In the Helix grain warehouse
thefts.
Williams was arrested near Van
couver by Sheriff Sappington of Clark
county. Washington, on instructions
and information from Sheriff Taylor.
The Umatilla county officer left Sat
urday night for Vancouver and re
turned this morning with the men
who swindled several Umatilla county
men our of sums aggregating several
hundred dollars.
The particular offense with which
he is charged in the warrant of ar
rest was committed In this' city about
bIx weeks ago. At that time he se
cured the endorsement of Douglass
Lefflngwell, a personal friend, to a
check which he had drawn on the
Bank at Stanfleld for $35. He had no
money in the bank there or any place.
This procedure or a similar one, was
worked two or three different times
in Pendleton, as well as In StanTield,
Hermlston and Umatilla before the
matter was reported to Sheriff Tay
lor. By that time Williams had left
the county and the state. Taylor im
mediately went to work on he case
with the result that the fellow was
located and arrested near Vancouver.
Stewart Is the third man arrested
by Sheriff Taylor or his deputies, act
ing under his Instructions, in connec
tion with the grain warehouse thefts.
A formal charge against him was
sworn to today by J. E. Montgomery,
agent for the Puget Sound Warehouse
company,
Sheriff Taylor has been so busy
working for the county during this
campaign that he has had no time to
work for his own candidacy.
C. D. Gabrelson, the insurance man
Is here from his home in Salem on
one of his regular visits.
the tariff on wool."
That address was delivered Just
prior to the legislative session. The
people had endorsed Governor Cham
berlain for senator and a majority of
the members of the legislature were
under sworn pledges to make him
senator. Therefore Mr. Burgess stood
plainly as a man who wanted to In
duce the statement No. 1 men to vi
olate their pledges. His speech was
in line with the general plot which
came to a head when Ormsby Mc
Harg came out from Washington, D
C, to try to break up the statement
No. l phalanx In the legislature. Mc
Harg failed because he found the
legislators unwilling to violate their
pledges.
This charge was made against Mr.
Burgess one week ago and since that
time he has made no denial of his
speech. The subsidized newspaper
that is working for his election has
attempted to defend him by denying
something else. It has resorted to the
trick of denying something of which
Mr. Burgess Is not accused. It has
published affidavits setting forth a
fact that Is not disputed. Mr. Bur
gess' failure to deny Ms official action
at Heppner Is admission that the East
Oregonlan's charge Is truthful. If
you do not believe this, go and ask
him.
This Is a legitimate attack. It Is
not dirty polities. Mr. Burgess' atti
tude toward statemen No. 1 is right
fully at Issue In this campaign. What
do yon think of his attitude?

WILL STOP EVERY
WHEEL IN GOTHAM
New York, X. Y., Nov. 7. A fore
runner of what is expected to prove
the greatest traffic strike in the his
tory of this city came today. A
thousand taxlcab drivers walked out
in sympathy with union ex-employes
of the various express companies.
The executive council affiliated with
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters is in sessjpn today and has
set a time to force industrial peace
by tying up every wheel in this vi
cinity. President Gompers will per
sonally direct the fight. First they
will prevent the delivery of fuel for
the purpose of stopping the factories.
This will bring suffering to two mil
lion poor. Next delivery wagons and
then mail wagon drivers will go out
and last garbage wagon men, which
will probably cause sickness.
A few express wagons are being
operated today bearing the signs:
"This wagon engaged in interstate
commerce only." By this means the
express companies hope to circum
vent Mayor Gaynor's recent ruling
that the ordinance requiring the pay
ment of drivers license Is valid. It
also places the companies in a po
sition to appeal to the federal gov
ernment in the event that the wa
gons are attacked.
T
OPENS IN CITY
REGULAR FALL TERM
CONVENED THIS MORNING
Chief Justice and Three Associate
Justices Present Judge King Miss
es Train Detective Bill Case Is lp.
The fall term of the eastern Ore
gon session of the supreme court was
convened at the court house this
morning with the chief Justice and
three associate Justices In attendance.
Associate Justice Will R. King was
not present and In a special message
received by the East Oregonlan from
Judge King, he stated that he had
missed his train in Portland last
night, that he would go on through
to his home In Ontario to vote tomor
row and that he would return to Pen
dleton Wednesday morning to take
his seat on the bench.
The first case on Ihe docket this
morning was the famous Umatilla
Icounty-lochl option-detective bill
case. This Is the suit in which
Charles Cunningham and A. F. Mich
ael, local taxpayers, sought to pre
vent the county paying for the ser
vices of the detectives who secured
the whole convictions for violations
of the local option law in the fall
after the county was voted dry. two
years ago. Incidentally the detec
tive has his money and If anyone Is
"stuck" for the bill, other than the
county, it will probably be District
Attorney Phelps.
The grounds on which the case was
fought out originally were gone over
again today In the arguments of the
attorneys before the highest court in
the state. Attorney Charles H. Carer
for the injunctionists contended that
this bill was a voluntary Indebted
ness and that the county had already
exceeded the amount of Its voluntary
indebtedness. District Attorney
Phelps for the state reiterated his
declarations that unusual conditions
existed at that time, that a state
bordering on anarchy was in exisence
and that the employment of the de
tective w-as necessary, imperative and
involuntary.
The docket before this court Is
short and but for tomorrow's holi
day the business of the court would
probably have been completed by
Wednesday evening.
Justice Robert Eakin will proba
bly go to La Grande tomorrow to cast
his ballot, while Chief Justice Moore,
and Associate Justices McBrlde and
Slater, will probably cast their bal
lots In this city for state Issues, state
and congressional candidates.
FIFTEEN MINERS ENTOMBED
IN MINE NEAR SEATTLE
Black Diamond, Wash., Nov. 7.
Fifteen men are entombed today In
tlie deepest Mope of the I.awson coal
mine near here and all hope of their
rescue Is abandoned. They were
ennght by a heavy explosion which
closed nil entries to the various shafts
yesterday. The iJiwson is one of the
deepest mlnea In the county and Is
worth a quarter of a million dollars.
Officials can not understand the ex
plosion. Rescue forces are working
attempting to reach the miners. Black
Diamond is near Seattle.

Portland, Nov. 7. Political warri
ors laid aside their armor today,
awaiting the outcome tomorrow fol
lowing a white-hot campaign in
which mudslingers' attacks on the
private records of the principal can
didates clouded continuously the real
issues. Throughout the campaign
the parties concentrated on the gub
ernatorial .candidates Jay Bowerman.
republican and Oswald West, demo
crat. Both sides claim victory. The
republicans estimate Bowerman will
have a majority of seven thousand.
The democrats have not announced
any figures but merely say West will
win. There is hardly any doubt hut
that Lafferty will be elected to con
gress from the first district as he is
a progressive republican. Congress
man Hawley, a republican standpat
ter, will be elected from the second
district, though his plurality will be
reduced.
Washington Will Go Republican.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 7. Washing
ton will probably send two progres
sive republicans, Warburton from the
second district and Lafollette, from
the third district, to congress. Prob
ably Congressman Humphries from
the first district, who is a standpat
ter will win out over his democratic
opponent Judge Black by a small lead.
The state legislature will probably
go overwhelming republican as
usual.
Republicans to Carry Idaho.
Boise, Ida., Nov. 7. Prospects for
democratic success are admittedly
gloomy and republicans claim Gover
nor Brady will be re-elected over hie
democratic opponent James Hawley
by twenty thousand. The campaign
has been peppery and has centered
about the gubernatorial contest. The
republican platform favors a dry
state, while the democratic is sup
porting the wets by backing the lo
cal option law. Burton French, a
progressive republican, will undoubt
edly be elected to congress.
Toss-up In Indiana.
Indianapolis, Nov. 7. With John
Kern, democrat, and Beverldge re
publican confidently claiming tomor
row's election will be a personal en
dorsement for the United States sena
torshlp, the result is believed to be
doubtful here tomorrow. The silent
vote will be the determining factor.
Close In Southern Oregon.
Grants Pass, Ore., Nov. 7. The
campaign closed here today and it is
believed that Robert Smith the demo
cratic congressional candidate from
this district will carry Josephine
county by a hundred majority. The
vote will probably be close between
Bowerman and West for the gover-
norshop. Probably Bowerman
lead here while Jackson county
probably go to West.
