THE CAPITAL JOURNAL No Satisfaction From Candidates I! the taxpayers of Marlon county, who assembled In the court house this forenoon to interview candidates for the legislature and get an expression from them as to their positions rela tive to the measures to be jjeclded by the people at the primary election on the 21st of this month, expected to get a sentiment of commitment, they were very much disappointed. There were several candidates present, pursuant to Invitation of the taxpayers league, and Tom Kay was the first of the " number to be called for remarks. In opening his address Mr. Kay said, "I first want to make a protest . against the league's attempt to pick five candidates for the legislature at this meeting. This is a matter for the people to decide themselves. It Is un fair and unjust for this body of men to ask one of these men to state Just What measures he will or will not sup- . port In order to get the Indorsement of this league. It la simply resorting to the old convention system of select ing candidates and contrary to the laws of Oregon. It Is machine poll tics. Why should you men and women Ket together here and fix a ticket T It would be detrimental to the five can didates whom you should choose." Mr. Kay urged the taxpayers to give this movement further consideration, jtnd stated that he did not believe they Jiad given (t the proper consideration. "If you men expect to pick men as -One of the candidates who will commit , myself, . If this Is the issue," suld the Speaker, " you may count me out." ; Mr. Ky picked the merits of the prop osition to pieces and stated his inten tions emphatically In making this Campaign. He said he was In favor of Conservative legislation, and economy., liut not to an extent that the Interests 4f the stute might be hampered, or Words to that effect... Mr. Kay said that he had served In both houses and liaJ fought alone for the passage ol hills which he believed to be against the Interests of the people In general find he said further that. If elected to the legislature, he would pursue along those lines, giving the taxpayers to un derstand thut he Intends to do what he thinks is right for the welfare of the Most people regardless of how they fere going to vote at the polls at the iirlmary election ' Frank Davey, having been called to the platform, indorsed Mr. Kay's sentl nient to the letter and made a brilliant -.Address which met with hearty p ilause. He stated his position similar to the previous speaker tind up to the time of adjournment at noon the tnx tiayeis had not been successful In get ting a sentiment In sympathy with their movement. Sam A. Hughes was CHtllnd upon for a speech and talked fur several minutes regarding what he liud diiiiu In the matter of conservative legislation In former years and what tie expects to do In the future If elect cd. Ivan CI. Martin was the last speak r before adjournment, and he, too, th,s afternoon and the same speakers f rmm OYri ril Ut .etieu lor ftiiverion win go 10 mi- Ar.pt I and hold a meeting in the evening. The purpose of these meetings, it sems, is to get an expression from the different candidates as to whom they believe will be the five men who will best represent the Interests of the tax payers at the coming session of the legislature, but up to the present time they have apparently failed in the un dertaking. Officials Probed Deeper In Case Of Bluebeard Los Angeles, Cal., May P. Watson, who stands convicted by his own plea of the murder of Nina Lee Deloney and who is alleged to have now confessed the murders of six other women he had married and bigamous marirages with about a doz en others, will be taken before the district attorney again today for fur ther questioning about his career -of matrimony and murder. Watson was questioned for hours yesterday, and It was unofficially re ported that he added two more mur ders to his previously confessed list of five. The two were Mrs. Agnes Wilson of Canada and another unnamed wo man. Watson said he could not re member her name, nor the particulars, more than that he had drowned both of them in Lake Washington, Seattle. While he was under interrogation he was also observed by two physi cians appointed by Judge Frank R. Willis, who is to sentence Watson Monday. The physicians. Dr. Louis Webber and Dr. Charles L. Allen, have qualified as experts in previous mur r trials here. Watson was Inclined to be reticent yesterday until it was made plain to him that the attitude of the district attorney towards recom mending life Imprisonment for him In stead of the death penalty would de pend largely on his frankness and truthfulness in his further revelations. Thereupon, he grew more talkative.
