Avenge Wrongs Done Americans.
WILSON MAY INCREASE GUARD

Prevent Overt Acta Resulting from

Believe that Situation In Mexico is
Greatly Improved.
WASHINGTON. March II. Gover
nor Colquitt of Texas, having been
quoted aa defying the federal govern
ment to prevent him sending rangers
into Mexico to protect Americans and
avenge them in the case of persons
whoM property has suffered, It Is un
derstood that President Wilson is con
sidering a plan for United State
troops to patrol the entire Mexican
horder as an Insurance against overt
acts on the governor's order. Senator
Sheppard and Congressman Garner
of Texas, it Is understood, told him
that Texans generally would support
such a step.
Colquitt Is reported to have an
nounced in a speech at the cattle
ranchers association at Fort Worth,
that he defied "any authority on earth
Including. Washington to prevent me
protecting cltlscns along the. border.
You can't expect American soldiers
to cross the border for murderers and
thieves, but the rangers can do it."
Sheppard assured the president that
ColfUltt misrepresented public opinion
concerning the Mexican situation. He
showed him a stack of telegrams from
constituents commending the watch
ful waiting policy.
From Senators Shlvely of Indiana
and Lewis of Illinois the president
received assurances that no serious
Mexican debate was likely to occur in
the upper houHe.
On the whole, judging from con
sular reports at border points, con
ditions are thought to have Improved.
Bryan left for a short lecturing trip

probably disagree with you on many
political questions. I am pretty sure
I agree on the Mexican situation."

EVANGELIST GIVES HIS REASONS
(By J. M. CornrilHon.)
Dr. Bulgln took for his theme last
night: "What I Believe and Why I
Believe It Or What Is Orthodoxy?"
His texts were Heb. 11:6. "He that
cometh to God must believe that he
Is." Heb. 1:1. "God hath spok
en." Job. 33:4. "The Spirit of God
hath made me and the breath of the
Almighty glveth me life."
"From these words we learn and
believe, that God Is, that he has spo
ken to man, that he created man and
breathed Into him. Or more 'defi
nitely we get the sciences of theology,
bibliology, anthropology, soterioiogy
and Eschatology. Under these five
heads I will speak."
The speaker unfolded plainly and
with telling illustrations each of these
theological terms.
"The science of theology Is the one
Aspirant for Governorship Has Strong
Support and Expects Success.
Dr. James Wllhycombe, one of the
IcaJIng men fn the rare for the re
publican nomination for governor of
Oregon, has heen a Pendleton visitor
today and his trip here has been ono
of interest Inasmuch as It Is his first
stop in the city since he formally an
nounced his candidacy and resigned
from the directorship of the state ex
periment station at O.'A. C, In order
to devote time to his candidacy.
"The outlook is very pleasing to me"
suid Dr. Wllhycombe this afternoon.
"1 do not wish to seem too optimistic
but I am receiving some very pow
erful support and am dally receiving
volunteer offers of assistance from
all parts of the state. Retrenchment
In the matter of state expenditures Is
to be one of the chief features of the
campaign this year. It is my opin
ion that a considerable amount of
money may be saved through prop
er methods and system. It is my pur
pose to conduct a clean, dignified
campaign and I am out to win this
time. I am very hopeful of dolmj
so."
Dr. Wllhycombe Is not a new fig

republican candidate against George f

for reelection as governor. At that'

RITNER WILL RE CANDIDATE
TO RUX FOR REPRESENTATIVE
SEEKS REPUBLICAN SUPPORT
Roy W. Ritner, prominent farmer
and one of the best known young men
in the county,, today formally an
nounced his candidacy for the repub
lican nomination for representative
from Umatilla county to succeed L, L.
Mann who is now an avowed aspirant
for the office of sheriff. Though sev
eral other republicans have been men
tioned as probable candidates for
this office, Mr. Ritner is up to this
time, the only one to commit himself
definitely.
Mr. Ritner believes himself qualified
to represent" the people of Umatilla
county. He has been a resident of
the county for th past 32 -years and
has been a taxpayer for 15. He re
ceived his education in the schools of
this county," having attended the local
public -schools-and-the Weston normal
school.
For ten years he was connected with
the Pendleton Savings Bank but for
the past six years has been farming
on the reservation and makes his le
gal residence in Precinct 47. . known
sometimes as Sooth Reservation.
Though he nas never served in the
legislature, Mr. Ritner is familiar
with the workings of that body, having
acted as calendar clerk In the senate
during the sessions of 1909 and 1911.
He has been identified with local ac
tivities of a quasi-public nature for a
number of years. He has been a mem
ber of the directorate of the Round
up since the inception of that insti
tution, served as secretary of the Pen
dleton Commercial association during
19 IS and was head of the Pendleton
baseball club for the same year.
So far he is the only announced can
didate for a legislative office from
Pendleton. In announcing his candi
dacy this morning, he declared that
he was not at this time publishing
any platform but that In a general way
he. stood for the repealing of some of
the present laws rather than for load
ing the statutes with new ones.
Other candidates who. it is said,
entertain ideas of making the race for
representative are Dr. M. S. Kern of
this city and Carl Engdahl. mayor of
Helix, but neither up to this time has
ax-owed his Intention to run.
