Democrats In the House, led by Cbamp Clark, are apparently prepar ing to bring down wrath on their heads by appointing Congressman ITUfierald of Brooklyn, chairman of tte appropriations committee. Fitz gerald was the leader of the 23 Demo crats, who at the behest of Tammany Hall deserted the allied Democrats aisd progressive Republicans last March and went to the rescue of Speaker Cannon. He Is regarded as a dangerous tory and the progressives are seeking to arouse public senti ment to protest against Fitzgerald's elevation to a position of such power that he would be able to punish all progressives. Stormy Debate on Irrigation Report. The Senate committee on irrigation, behind closed doors, has been holding heated sessions over the attempt by Chairman Carter to use the commit tee to injure Director Newell and the friends of conservation. Carter had withheld for more than a year the re port of the committee on their tour of western irrigation projects, taken in the summer of 1909. He finally wrote a report in full, and asked. the com mittee' to sign it. He met with-refusal, with the result that the issue still pends, and Carter, who hates Kewell, Plnchot, Oarfield and all con servationists, may yet be balked of his plan. San Francisco May Lose. "Fignt to the finish" ia the 6logan of the California delegation in the House, which Is engaged in a contest wit-. New Orleans for the location of the exposition to be held In 1915 in cele bration of the completion of the Pan am a Canal. San Francisco lost the first round by the adoption of a ma jority report by the committee ia fa vor of New Orleans, but the real bat tle will come in the House when the reports of the majority in favor of New Orleans and the minority in fa Tor of San Francisco will come up for adoption.

A. Bal linger. , George J. Cameron, district attorney of Multnomah County, says that the dropping of the proposed legislative investigation into the office of State Dairy and Food Commissioner J. W.

An opinion that upsets all previous legal expressions upon the application of the home rule bill to cities that voted "wet" in counties that voted "dry" at the last election, was given by John F. Logan, and places the. issue so squarely before each municipality so affected that there is no longer ground for quib bling outside of the courts. In the opinion of Attorney Logan, cities that voted "wet" In countieB that voted "dry" have the right to Issue liquor licenses, if the city council Is so dis posed, without calling an election in such municipality. War on Rabbits Bagun. Merrill. War has been started here on the Jackrabbits which infest the flat regions south and east of this town around the Bohemian colony re cently established.

VOTE-BUYING IN JOE GANNON'S HOME CITY i Danville, III. -Mayor Louis Plntt, whose election Is under investigation by the grand Jury that is trying to break up vote-buying and selling here 1n "Uncle" Joe Cannon's bailiwick, came out heartily In favor of an "ex perience meeting," at which vote-buyers and vote-sellers, worked up to a fever heat by reform speechs, might get up and make a clean breast of the manner in which the ballot has been dragged through the mire of corrup tion tn Vermillion County. City Attorney Frank Jones, who was reported to have made a confession that he had bought votes at the last election, entered a denial, saying he had not only had not confessed but had nothing to do with vote-buying. Jones will go before the grand Jury and said he expected to tell all he knew, adding that he thought he knew enough to make things mighty un pleasant for some vote-buyers and sellers In Vermillion County. Jones said he did not believe it was possible for any candidate for any office, high or low, In Danville or Ver million County, to be elected without the use of large sums of money. THE MARKETS.
