Krock, Correspondent Louisville. Courier-Journal.) Columbus. Ohio. Oct. St. During the month that ha elapsed .since my last visit to Ohio, the situation, from a democratic standpoint, lias not I manned All unprejudiced and well- Informed men here bring out the Ohio LIuo Hook to prove conclusively that Woodrow Wilson will secure the 24 electoral votes or President Taft's own state. In this hook are presented unan swerable figures to show that, if Wil son holds the t yan vote of 1908, he will sweep Ohio, Uie size of his plu rality depending merely on whether the republican come out and vote, and if they do coino Out how closely they split their support between Taft and the third-term aspirant. The democratic nominee may have 100, 000 plurality, hc nay liave 200-.000, he may hay -almost anything higher or lower. ' nut that he will have a plurality Is generally conceded in Ohio today by all who have knowledge or the facts. This means that the Buck ee state, the stronghold of republic anism, the mother of nresldont t. not even In the doubtful class this i year. In the repubican primaries before the Chicago convention there was a great stay-at-home vote. These re publicans were disgusted with both Taft and with Roosevelt. Now. the effort of the republican managers is to get out these voters to the end that the president may run second in his own state. They do not want the re publican organization swallowed up by the bull mooser. as it probably would he If Itoosevelt were to get more votes in Ohio than Presidenl Taft. The republican stay-at-home vote is what tho Tan t .ui.. iiirn L I (1 1 L 1 1 1 I year. As for the Itoosevelt followers I they are enthusiastic here as else where; they will come out anyway, blizzards will not keep a thousand of them at home. They may have to come on crutches and in carryalls, but they will come It Li easv to under stand why there i no such enthusiasm ! ..... iau ttuu ins native state. There will probably he 1.200.000 votes east in Ohio this year (the Taft men hope so .aftd.J,M democrats be lieve so). Itfynn polled 502,000 In 1908, and Taft 672.000, a majority of 70.000. If Wilson can poll 500,000 Nties mis year ana yiere are no surface reasons why he cannot that will leave 700.000 to be divided am ong four other candidates Taft, Roosevelt. Debs and Chafin. The probabilities are that Taft and Roose elt will run reasonably close and will poll about 600,000 votes between them. Of this number neither will have 500.000. which, according to all indications, will be the minimum of the democratic strength. Tim straw ballots have shown that Debs -.vlll have more votes in Ohio than ever before, perhaps 60,000 In all. That accounts for all but 40,000 of which the prohibitionists will get about 13.000. All of this goes to show that the democrats need only get out their vote of 1908 in ord-'r to carry the state and probabilities Mie that they will get a considerably luwr vole than they did four years The Harmon partisans as well a the Harmon opponents are solidly be hind Governor Wilson. Governor Harmon himself has dropped all bit terness and forgotten all disappoint merit over the Baltimore convention. When ho presMod over the Wilson meeting in Columbus that opened the tate campaign h 6 WHS cfvon aiir.li a cheer, so strong and lasting, that It -'io.e every drop of envy which h might have had out of his heart. The anti-Harmon men fathered the Wilson boom here and ; are vleing with the partisans of Governor Har mon to ee which can get out the more vote, for Hie democratic nominee In addition to this there are thousands of republican who are going to vote for Wilson, which seems likely to swell his vote above that which Rry an received four years ago. The cities of Ohio are treat l.-ihnr centers and here Is where Debs comes tfut it must be remembered that 'he skilled labor vote of Ohio hn nnl been democratic as is true In many "tner places, but republican. There fore, the defection to Dehs Is nn nf the republican worries Jn;; the state an I need not be considered with the democratic situation. :. '". " iu Marriage. Mcenso.

Mr. and Mrs. Edmer White numbered among the guests at miwman. They were married yes terday morning at the home of the bride in The Dalles and came on to Pendleton en route to Waitsburg where Mr. White is in charge of a grain warehouse.

Ren Mill, former well known Pen dleton lumber man who Is now In the undertaking business at Walla Walla is the democratic candidate for state representative from Walla Walla county and, according to reports reaching this city, has exceedingly bright prospects of capturing the of fice.

The ancient -feud between the Chi nese and Japanese nations broke out afresh in Pendleton yesterday when a son of each of these celestial emolres became involved in an altercation I ls was useless over a delinquent laundry bill. Lively ' ,n,ston hy has bpen ea8er 'or blows were exchanged and the air was GOOD EVENTS ARE PROMISED Two top notch athletic cards, one in wrestling and the other in boxing, are In store for local sport fans if everything turns out as anticipated and Indications are that nothing but an unforeseen element will Interfere. The wrestling bout as planned will be between Eddie OConnell, wrestling Instructor of the Multnomah A. A. C. of Portland, and Jack Kennedy, the Iiermiston mat man who was form erly with the Chicago Y. M. C. A. The boxing bout being prepared Is to be between Fred Sax of this city nnd Jack Carpenter, the Roise phenom. Dudley Evans, manager of the P. A. A. C, is engineering the two bouts and feels safe In assuring the sport lovers that they will material ize. He plans to stuge the Sax-Carpenter go at the Oregon theater on election night and is making arrange ments to secure returns from the na tion in order that the audience may not only be treated to a fast boxing bout but can sit in comfort and watch the outcome of the election. Sax. until he entered the profes sional classes, was the amateur champion of the Pacific coast nt his weight and Is reputed to be one of the scrappiest men in the business Carpenter is one of the leading ex ponents of the manly art In the north west and lately has been cleaning up everything in the neighborhood nf Roise. A match between these two would unuestlonnbly be a drawing card. A wrestling bout between O'Connel! and Kennedy would be Immensely popular here. The two grapplers have met twice at Iiermiston, the Portland man failing to throw the project ath lete on the first occasion but win ning the latter after Kennedy had wrenched his arm so painfully that Since then the Her- punctured. by oriental chatter of two kinds until the police stopped the bat' tie. Inasmuch as the officers were unable to determine which was the aggressor, they arrested both and re quired each to put up $10 bail to in sure their appearance before his hon or the Judge this morning. Sam Lee, the Chinaman, appeared while the Nipponese boy stayed away. The Judge, therefore, acting under the as sumption that the Jap was the more guilty of the two, declared his bail for feited and dismissed the case against the other. Four drunks were regis tered this morning, three going to Jail and the fourth buying his way to freedom. Charles O'Brien, under the misconceived notion that a depot was a public place, cursed his name sake T. F. O'Brien, who happens to be agent at the depot, and refused to leave the building which he found a comfortable place to lounge. He was given three days In Jail where the atmosphere is Just as comfortable. Will Not llfrtit In Australia. Vancouver, U. o., Oct. 21.

Dudley Evans, manager of the Pen dleton A. A. C, today announced three members of the team which will rep resent the local club on Nov. 15 when It meetn the Spokane A. A. C. in Spo kane. Stanley Trimble has been se lected to meet Ellington in the 115 pound class, Frank Nudo to go against McKivett at 125 pounds and Pete Josl to enter the ring with whoever rep resents the Spokane club at 170 pounds. 'Two other men will probab ly be chosen within a few days. Man ager Evans announces that member ship cards to the P. A. A. C. will be ready this week and may be had by application to him. Since the ath letic tournament during the Round-up there lias been a renewed interest in boxing and wrestling locally and Mr. Evans anticipates a large membership to the club. In a letter Just received, Colonel Mclnnls of the Seattle A. A. C, which carried off the honors at the big meet, takes occasion to con gratulate Pendleton upon the succes of the tournament and to thank the Tendleton .Woolen Mills for the hand some robe presented to his club for winning the meet.

WILSON CHOICE OF SCHOOL TEACHERS conscious of the speed of the ma chine and said: "I may have been going two miles or 100 mtlea. I was so busy trying to listen to both of the girls talk at the same time that I did not notive the speed, and believe me, It was some Job." Woodrow Wilson Ls the choice for president of the teachers of Eastern Oregon by an overwhelming majority, If a straw vote taken at Enterprise last week where the annual Institute was held, is any Indication. Accord ing to prof. Charles Guenie of Athe na, tho vote given to Wilson was sev eral timis as large as that given all of tile other candidates. Hut another remarkable result was the fact that Taft was given more votes than Roos evelt by the pedagogues. On the train that bore the teachers out of Enterprise, Supt. J. S. Landers of this city, nnd Prof. E. D. Ressler of the Oregon Agricultural college took a straw vote to determine wheth er or not the women desired suffrage. The ballot taken among the women alone showed that 14 2 of those on the train wanted the privilege of voting while 4 3 were opposed to the granting of that privilege A ballot was then taken among the men to discover how men intended voting for amendment No. 1. The vote showed 36 for the amendment and twenty opposed. TAI.KIM; TO fJIRLS SPEEDERS EXCISE two court when Chicago.
