In his oratorical plea for vindica tion and vote. ex-Judge GiUlland has been making fre uae of the nam of Judge O. W. Pbe:ps mho was dis trict attorney when the Umatilla bridge deal was pulled off. Before the grand Jury that invest! gated the case two years ago Judge t-neipa testified he could recall noth ing of having ever been asked any advice regarding the Umatilla bridge and could not fecall having ever giv en any advice upon the subject. He said he had asked the old court to make its request In writing when ever it wished an.vthing of him and had Informed them he would always reply in writing. He testified he had no record of any Inquiry or of any opinion given regarding the Umatilla bridge. So if he gave them any ad vice they should have produced his written opinion. Furthermore. Judge Phelp testi fied before the grand Jury that if he expteasel any verbal opinion to the old court he merely told them they could proceed under the section of the (eld law regarding building bridges by county under a superintendent.

The proposal vra submitted to Frank Curl, republican chairman, and very shortly after wards a refusal of the offer was made. Gilliland himself was then sottirht out and the challenge made to him direct. He said he would refuse absolutely to meet Judge Malonev in debate.

Gentle P.eader, such an opinion a that would be a very dif j ferent thing from tell'.ng the court to proceed as they did at Umatilla.! j The point is that in building the' j Umatilla bridge the old court did not - have the county do the work itself under a sut-erlntendent.
