At the Bame I time it came to light that Baron I George Wllhelm Von Brincken has 1 been Uizzed by federal officials as to his connection with the Oerman con sulate. That local officials are after Kupp's withdrawal seems certain. Baron Von Brincken was to be ar rested this afternoon on a feoeral warrant, it became known.

Bast Oregonian began open war upon the candidacy of Dr. Best. The organization on whose stationery the letter was written is composed in large part of men who were publicly known as bootleggers or in other words owners of "near beer" joints during the dryregime in Pendleton. Some of those men got their start in the saloon business in those days and amassed small for tunes out of the business. The signer of the letter WV one of the number. It is but fair to say that some of the men in the saloon business do not countenance boot legging and do not have records as lawbreakers. Those men cannot be classed as part of the vice element of Pendleton and this paper has not sought to criticise men of that character. The letter reproduced above is by no means the only evidence that the vice forces have been working in a systematic manner for the election of Dr. Best as mayor. There is over whelming evidence to this effect and conclusive proof is found in Dr. Best's own admission up on the subject. Von Brincken arrived three month-, after the war started and passed as a consulate attache. PuH (Specii ces tod l l - stem uruip oiiumnv IfClfO OUfflmft n I Portland. Dec. Kxchange 4. pri nts bid.
