This wus doue by pledges of legislative candidates to Statement No. 1. Now Iowa, the "standpatter" state, is in teresting the governors of otber states to send dolcgates to a convention to be bold iu Des Moines on Scp'.ember ilftb, for the purpose of providing for a general constitutional conven tion to amend tbo United States con stitution so aa to elect senators by di rect vote of the people. Iowa has taken the lead in the movement, and it is to be hoped that the sanction of ' two-thirds of tbo states in the Uniou will be secured at the Des Moines cou vention. Governor Chamberlain has named Ave delegates to represent Oregon at Des Moines, one of them being Bert Huffman, editor of the East Oreuouiau. In the seleotion of Mr. Huffman, Umatilla county is giv en the honor of furnishing a man who will loud force, dignity and character in his untiring efforts on behalf of Eastern Oregon, to obtain for her peo ple the right to choose representatives in the nutiouul congress by popular vote. If evor the Milton Eagle was on the right sido of topic, question or issue, the soutinient was edited in Chicago and ruu in boiler plate matter among ads where oue had a little chance of reudiug it. Years ago the paper, un der the old regimo, scrapped year in and yoar out for tbo lost cause divi sion of the county, with Milton cut mid dried for a county seat. The Eaglo, from too first flap of its wings hits boeu a "kicker." There was never a county convention held but what Milton "got the worst of it" -no matter which purty the Eiiglo expect ed to -"support" iu the campaign. The Lee streot bridge "robbery" rilled its pagos for mouths but the county paid for the bridge. After this, pro hibition uud Normal Schools; Normal Sohools iu prtioulur occupied its at tention. It swung onto the coat-tails of tho piohibitiouists until the cam paign oamo ou then it did its little best in tho general crmade against Pierce, the probi's strong ally.

Everything to Furnish the Home. 12-14-1618 a0-22 Alder Street, WALLA WALLA, -:- WASH the election results, and the Normal School at Weston, the only state in stitution east of the Cascades, among otber state institutions, has a lease on life, the Eagle is still croaking and the only information it elacidates is that appropriations for Nor mat schools went on the general appropriation bill as a "rider." The Dowie nuisance has broken out afresh in the Chicago papers. "Dr. Elijah" Dowie said Judge Dow ie wasn't his father, but he Elijah was the illegitimate son of a royal ist, ibis made Judge Dowie angry, and he went to the city to prove that he was Elijah's real papa. He pro poses to prove his dadship by letters. The Judge lives in Iowa. The intimation comes from Wash ington that President Roosevelt's preference for republican presidential nomination for 1 008 is Secretary Taft. He also thinks Bryan will be the dem ocratic nominee. Henri Watterson is everlastingly opposed to sectionalism and bis belov ed Dowie is everlastingly practicing it. That "tide in the affairs of men, wbioL, taken at its flood, lead ou to fortune," seldom runs through a coun try printing office. Ex-President Cleveland hasn't as yet joined in the work of booming Bryan for President. THE IOWA SITUATION. The Detroit News, (Ind.) thus pre sents the facts as to the very interest ing campaign iu Iowa: "The issue which gave rise to the Kepublicau factional fight in Iowa, which brought Secretary Shaw into such unfavorable notoriety and won him a well-deserved rebuke from the White House, seems likely to be lost sight of in indignation at the methods that the machine has introduced into the contest. Before the battle between Governor Cummins and the organization is finished in Iowa, republicanism seems likely to be wholly absorbed with an effort to solve the problem of providing means by which party opinions and desires may be surely and accurately recorded. At the outset the contest was a simple and direct one between the governor's tariff revision ideas, on the one side, and the Shaw-Allison stand-pat doc trine on the other. Finding them solves being properly whipped in the rogular county contests, the machine managers operating the stand-pat cumpaign despaired of winning by get ting the majority of the popular vote, and begun to plau to control the con vention through the favor of the permanent organization by having the latter seat contesting delegates and representatives of rump conventions. "The utter failure of Secretary Shaw's remarkable Scott county speech, whioh he went to Iowa to de-1 liver after conference wun tne pres ident whioh iutiniatiou was promptly repudiated by the White House utter ly failed of its purpose. After listen ing to bis oppeul, the Scott county delegates by more thou four to oue indorsed the governor. Then the Shawites simply declined to abide by their overwhelming defout, and 29 of thorn, out ot a oouveutiou of more tbau 150 members, proceeded to name a lull delegation to tbo state conven tion, depending upou their pull with the state committee to, obtain recog nition for it. This is a fair sample of the tactics that have been followed throughout the latter days of the cam paign The maohiue could hardly have made a more convicting coufos siou that the suppression, rather than the expression, of the will of the voters is what they seek, and the Cummins forces could hardly have asked for a more foroible demonstra tion of the immediate and urgeut need Department Make Your appointments Here of the direct nominations'whicb tbey advocate, and which advocacy is one of the grievances of the machine against the governor and bis followers." Hit. CKAIG'S DEPARTURE. Portland Journal. Just as Oregon is beginning to reap the rich harvest that followed the far-seeing policy of advertising and development begun by A. L. Craig, that gentlemen has been called to a wider field of effort Not always does proper appreciation follow closely on well directed ' endeavor, but Mr. Craig's abilities were so marked, his peculiar fitness for his place was so clearly defined by the successes a chieved, that recognition was almost instantaneous, and his services were sought for the upbuilding of railroad business in another quarter. The leading spirits in the financial and commercial world of Portland will meet with Mr. Craig tonight, and after drinking to his health and continued prosperity, will speak the regret that is felt at his departure, and we doubt that even nnder the influ ences that will necessarily mark this last meeting with Mr. Craig the ex pressions of grief will outtell the feel ings of the orators. It will be a pleasure to bear Mr. Craig reiterate the splendid confidence he has iu Port land, for which he has done so much, and for Oregon, which is well in his debt ; and for that wider territory, the Oregon country, whose waste places have become gardens because of snob work as bis. In changing hisplaceof residence, Mr. Craig will not ohauge his feelings toward Oregon, and in his new position with a great road that seeks our trade and from which we expect much, he will be in a posi tion to carry into greater exeoution larger plans for Portland's welfare. And that and the knowledge that Mr. Craig is goiug higher up the ladder reooncile the commercial and financial friendships and personal, as well, to his leaving Portland. Strayed or Stolen.
