MR. SAVIOR URGED AS
DESIRABLE TIMBER
FOR COUNTY JUDGE
Freewater Man With Business
Interests in West End and
East End Classed as Winner
if He Will Run..
If tin
(tattled
in the
ears of .1. it. Baylor
jday then there is
i say Ins;, For Mr.
truth i
being very mueeh talked ab
prospective county jutle fo
Uma
la count.
It is nut known yet whether or not
Mr. fcayior will consent to become a
candidate for the place but be has a
host of backers comprising both dem
ocrats and republicans, men and wo
men. In behalf of the idea that lie
should run It Is being pointed out that
U rJBaylor Is a I 'inatilla county resi
dent of many years standing, has ox
tensive business interests in both the
east end of the county and in the west
end and has a record for Integrity and
business capacity.
Mr. Saylor's official address is Free
water and he has a nice home there.
However, he has ranching interests
in the west end and is president of the
1 ank ut BeltO He is frequently In
i'endleton and has, a son in business in
ibis city. Br those who know him
be is universal lv acclaimed as just the
man for county Judvo proved ho will
run. .Air. Savior turn it trig -ben closely
in touch with school affairs. Is a good
roads advocate nnd known as being
progressive minded.
The fact that t,e county judge is !
chairman of a board that has the!
handling- of more than a million dol-j
lars annually of the taxpayers' money ;
In this County is causing the judife
ship to attract more than usual inter- !
est this spring. The desire is for a
businessman who can safeguard the !
taxpayers' Interests and yet serve the !
welfare of the county by seeing as
nearly as possible that the maximum
Rood Is obtained from the county ex- j
penditures. So far difficulty has been I
experienced by both pa riles In the
matter of securing aVallatttSj materia 1
to run. Mr. Baylor is a democrat and
as no democrat has r.nnounced him
self for this nomination it is said to :
be Mr. Say lor's if he wishes it. His '
backers, however, are by no means;
confined to that party and on the j
streets today it was freely predicted
that the name of tile next county judRe
will be J. Ii. Savior If he will hut say
the word.

New Oficial While Strong Supporter of Administration Has
Been Generally Regarded as Progressive Republican and
Was Actively Identified With Roosevelt Campaign.
WASHINGTON". Feb. 25. Palnbridge Colby was today appointed secre
tary of state, the white house announced.
The. appointment was more of a surprise than the resignation of Secretary
Lansing at President Wilson's request. While Colby has been a string sup
porter of the Wilson administration, he has been generally regarded as a pro
gressive 'republican. He was actively identified with the Theodore Roosevelt
campaign of 1812 and was later candidate for governor and senator of New
York on the progressive ticket.
Colby's ciosest connection with the Wilson administration was when he was
a member of the United States shipping board. He resigned a few months ago.
