(0RE00VU5 EDITORIAL ) The Salem Statesman denies with great vigor that Hon. I. L. Patteron bas purchased an in terest in the Statesman, or has fnr- niehed any monev to the Rlatu man. Well, well. How did he escape? , . f (OREOO.VIAIf NEWS COLUMS) By tbe hand of a friend of ex- Senator George W. McBride, a knife was stuck under the fifth rib of Senator Mitchell when tbe Sa- era Statesman' used tbe word "Whitewash" in characterizing the Legislature's indorsement of Ore- eon's senior Senator. In tbe head- inesofthat paper's report of tbe adoption of the resolution express ing confidence in Mitchell appears tbe first indication of tbe real meaning of the chanee in manage ment of the Statesman. I. L. Patterson, Collector of Cus toms at Portland, has acquired an interest in the Statesman and has brought about a radical change in ita nnlitical Dolicies. Patterson is - r an ardent admirer of McBride and was one of the Stale Senators who accomplished tbe election of that gentleman to the United States Senate in 1895. The expressions of the Statesman are taken to mean that McBride is proposed as the successor of Senator Mitchell when bis term of service may end. I. L. Patterson, who holds his position in tbe Custom-House as a reward for his assistance in se curing the election of McBride to the United States Senate in 1895, bas been and is now a supporter of Senator Mitchell, so far as that gentleman's interests do not con flict with those of his nearer friend Acquisition of stock in Salem s morning paper was, therefore, for the benefit of the Mitchell wing ot the party, but directly in the in terest of McBride, whom Patterson in aznected to bring forth at the proper time as a candidate to suc ceed Mitchell. : . Thouith Patterson is occupying a Federal position and is therefore supposed to be out of active poiv tics, bis activity in the organisa tion fight at this session of the Legislature and his acquisition of power through the press show quite plainly that he proposes to con tinue as a political factor in Marion county affairs.
