T h e P o p «lis t* have held a caucus and
issued the fo llo w in g manifesto, w hich
gives th eir tid e o f the tangle in the
hawse:
“ T o the People's P arty o f Oregon:
T h e undersigned, your member*-elect
to the legislative assembly, ask your
loyal rapport and that o f a ll good c iti
zen* in our contest for such an organ
ization o f the boose a* w e b elieve w ill
result in economical an-l remedial legis
lation that w ill make an honest vote
and a fa ir count possible in Oregon.
W e are contesting fo r a fa ir organisa
tion of th e boose, in order to make pos
sible the passage o f the B ingham regis
tration b ill, the H olt j ad gre-of-elec
tion b ill, ami an amendment to the con
stitution pirovi-iing for direct law -n u k
in g by the people by means o f the in i
tia tiv e and referendum in its optional
form.
" W e are assured by eminent law yers
that the Bingham registration b ill is
o n stitatio n a l. and lik e ly to be effec-
tire . T h e H o lt b ill allow s county cen
tral com mittees o f each o f the three
principal p olitical parties to designate
one ju-lge o f election in each precinct,
and com mittees o f the tw o principal
parties to each name one clerk o f elec
tion in each precimn. T h e in itia tiv e
and referendum need no explanation to
Oregon Populists. These measures w e
believe to be all important in obtaining
honest elections and oontrol by the peo
ple o f law m aking in Oregon, and there
by preserving our libertiec. T h e situa
tion is this:
“ Last June the Republican party
elected th irty-eigh t members o f the
house o f represenative*. O nly tw en ty-
e igh t o f this cumber have agreed to act
together in organ izin g the house. Part
o f the rem aining ten Republican mem
bers support Mr. Bourne and part do
not support any candidate. T h e Popu
list and Democratic members are stay
in g out until such tim e as a Republican
m ajority m ay agree upon a candidate
o f its own fo r spieaker, or un til a suffi
cien t number o f III cm unite w ith us to
assure Bourne's el«*ction, w hich w e be
lie v e w ill enable us to obtain the
measures herein named. A s long as
Republicans are thus divided, and it is
possible that w e may. by preventing o r
ganization. fin a lly elect Mr. Bourne,
and probably obtain the legislation be
fore mentioned, w e feel it to be our
d uty to the people o f Oregon to stay
out— wag«-« or no wages. W ith this
know ledge o f the facts, w e feel that w e
are entitled to your suppiort for our
selves and our a llie s .”
T h e manifesto is signed by tw o sen
ators and tw e lv e representatives.
It is
said that the rem aining Populist sena
tor and representatives, who were out
o f the c ity when the «mucus was held,
fu lly indorse«! the manifesto.

Ram Palataka. cross-eyed, a fiend in
expression, revolting in <-otintenan<-e,
has confesse«l to having perpetrate«! the
horrible Cahaba bridge disaster, which
occurred three weeks ago in Alabama.
R tolidly and w ith immovable lines o f
crim inal harshness on his face, he ad
mits that, singlc-hamled, he sent twen
ty-five persons to a horrible <l«-ath. ami
wounded and maimed a score more.
There was no romantic reason hack o f
the work o f this courageous coward, a
man who dared discovery, which, in
Alabama, meant certain death, to «Irive
a train to destruction in order to gain
a few dollars.
Palataka was arrest«»! in Eaton, Put
nam county, in M iddle Georgia.
His
first captors believed him half-witted,
as he gave h im self away. Those in
eharge o f him to«lav in Atlanta, as he
was on his way to Alabama, say he is
absolutely reckless and entirely w ithout
human feelings. To«lay he spioke of
the fearful wreck with no sign o f emo

“ I did it , ” sai«i Palataka. “ I want
ed money.

I wanted it for. I did it. I found it
very easy. I say this fo r the benefit o f
those who want to wreck trains. It's
just as easy to wreck a freight train.
