Combination Effort to Down Cham,
berlain and Defeat Will of
the People.
Ibe old game is on again, says the
Port laud Journal. It is anything to
beat George E. Chamberlain before the
legislature for eleotion to the United
States senate. It is back to tbe old
system of baiter and sale, 40-day con
tests and debauchery, and this time
tbe people are to be asked to aid in tbe
revision. That is tbe plan that is now
being mapped out ty the Fnlton fac
tion, tbe old remnants of the Mitchell
maobine, for tbe subversion of tbe
popular will and tbe reopening of the
8enatorialoonteet at Salem nt Jan
uary. It is op in eastern Oregon, and
tbiongb tbe sparsely settled districts,
that tbe Fnlton men expeot to win
tbeir battle, defeat tbe people and
elect Fnlton to the senate if possible.
And this is abont tbe way tbey plan to
do it:
Fnlton men in eastern and central
districts of tbe state are to circulate
petitions for signatures among the
voters of tbe districts directed to tbe
representatives and senators from those
districts asking them to disregard tbeir
Statement No. 1 pledge and vote for a
Republican for senator. Fulton, of
course, is to be tbe Republican.
At tbe same time pressure is to be
t rough t to bear on these Statement
No. 1 members of tbe legislature to
influence them to agree to observe tbe
request of these petitions, provided a
majority of the voters of tbe district
affix their names.
In tbe legislature there are 51 State
ment No. 1 members, thus making it
necessary to win over by some meaus,
seven votes before tbe sobome of tbe
Fulton faotion oan win. Even then,
however, it would only be possitlo tor
Fulton to win provided be held tbe
whole number of anti-Statement No. 1
menu, and the seven subsidized votes,
in line. Tbe result, provided tbe seven
men could be found to violate their
pledges, would iu all probability be
a deadlock and uo eleotion.
According to tbo etory now iu cir
culation, Seuator Fnlton and bis polit
ical advisers, have promised to fall in
line behind tbe candidacy of Senator
Jay Bowerman of Sherman, Gilliam
uud Wheeler uouuties for president of
the seuate provided Seuator Bowor

interior districts "oome through" with

Knows the
House, Sign and Carriage Painting
E. T. Kidder, McArthur Building
tbe proposed petitions and pledges
from tbe interior members to tbe leg
islature. It is also tbe rumor that at least one
member from tbe interior has said he
would forget his Statement No. 1
pledge provided a petition signed by
more than one half of tbe voters in his
distriot, asking him to vote for a Re
publican, were presented to him before
tbe date set for the eleotion of United
States senator.
Tbe Fnlton following expects by this
petition scheme to be able to switch
at least Beven members of tbe legisla
ture. They contend that the people
who voted for Statement No. 1 mem
bers of tbe legislature did not take in
to account tbe possibility of Governor
Chamberlain winning the popular in
dorsement. Tbey argue tbat tbe ma
jority want a Republican and are
willing to abandon tbeir belief in the
prinoiple of tbe direct election of
United States senators to seoure a Re
publican. In tbe face of this argument and
effort, however, comes tbe vote wbiob
the people of Oregon gave to tbe bill,
now a law, instructing tbe members of
tbe legislature to vote for tbe candi
date for United States senator who re
ceived tbe popular vote". In Jane last
this law was passed by a popnlar vote
of 69,668 for and 21,163 against tbe
measure, or by a majority of 18,506
votes. At the same time George E.
Chamberlain rcoeived 52,421 votes.
Thus it is seen tbat 17,247 voters of
tbe state who did not vote for Cham
berlain did vote for tbe principle set
out in tbe law, placing themselves on
record as favoring the obedience of tbe
legislature to tbe popular will of tbe
people as expressed at the polls.
Seuator Fnlton and his friends, in
tbe senatorial campaign, are going on
tbe theory tbat tbe 69,668 voters of
tbe state who cast tbeir ballots in fav
or of a law to make tbe popular vote
binding on tbe legislature, as regards
tbe United States sooatorsbip, did not
moan what tbey expressed by tbeir
votes last June. The plan is to make
loyalty to party tbe great plea in the
hope tbat, aided by tbe enthusiasm of
tbe piesiaeutial campaign, a majority
of the voters can be induced to repu
diate tbeir belief in tbe direot election
ot United States seuators, iu order to
defeat Governor Chamberlain and
elect Seuator Fulton to tbe offioe al
ready acoorded to him by tbe popular
vote of the people.

NO LIQUOR AT SPOKANE FAIR
The Barroom Will Be Used for the
Poultry Show Exhibition.
Nothing but temperanoe drinks will
be sold on the Spokane fair grounds
this year, as tbe sale of liquor is a
tbicg of the past at the fair. There
will be no bar on tbe Spokane fair
grouuds this fall. This was tbe unan
imous opinion of tbe board of directors
at tbe last meeting of tbe Interstate
Fair association.
The abolition of the bar was deemed
necessary, so tbe liquor selling conces
sion will be omitted from tbe list of
privileges to be auctioned to tbe high
est bidder on the 29th of August The
long bar under the grandstand will be
devoted henceforth to other purposes.
"Ton management of tbe fair has
long desired to take this step, and has
taken it on their own volition, believ
ing it to be tbe wish of tbe people,"
states President George T. Crane.
"We have always tried to conduot the
fair to please tbe public We have
bad tbe matter under disoussion since
tbe fair last fall, and it has been prac
tically understood tbat tbe bar privi
lege in tbe future would be suspended
Conditions have changed and I want
to assure tbe publio tbat we are trying
always to manage tbe fair to please
the greater number."
Tbe former barroom under tbe big
grandstand will, in all probability,
be turned into a poultry sbow this
year. This poultry exhibit this fall
will be one of the most extensive in
the history of tbe fair.
STILL HUNTING FOB LOST BOY
Paroled Convict Duping Parents of
Boy Lost at Toll Gate.
A special from Lewiston, Idaho, to
tbe Oregonian says: Ceoil A. Brittan,
the Walla Walla boy, 7 years old, kid
napped at Tollgate in tbe summer of
1906, is either seoreted in tbe Grand
Ronde distriot or tbe parents are the
viotims of a plot to extort money, be
cause of tbeir anxiety to recover tbe
missing boy.
Tbe bunt for young Brittan was
directed to tbe Grand Ronde section
by Sam Breen, a paroled oonvict from
tbe Walla Walla penitentiaiy, who is
alleged to have confessed to complicity
in kidnapping tbe child, and who was
placed on parole to assist tbe parents
in tbeir search.
Breen visited Lewiston last week and
rode into Grand Ronde section. He
returned Saturday night and was met
ty R. L. Brittan and wife, parents of
tbe child. Breen said be had met tbe
parties with the boy and that a borse
was shot from under bini when be at
tempted to carry the child away.
L. M. Butler of Spokane is said to be
associated with Breen in tbe search.
Tbe entire party left for the point in
Eastern Oregon where Breen said the
oaptors had headed for after tbe en
counter in the Grand Ronde section.
Little credence is given to tbe story
of tbe shooting and it is generally be
lieved that tbe Brittan family has been
victimized.

I consider Wine of Cardui superior
to njr doctor's medicine I erer used
and I know whereof I speak. I suf
fered for nine months with' suppressed
menstruation which completely p ros
tra t id ine. Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding baadaches. My limbs would
swell up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up. I naturally felt
discouraged for I seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians, but Win of
Cnrdui came as a Qod-send to me. I
felt a change for the better within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all suffering women knew Oi its
good qualities.

Periodical headaches tell of fe
male weakness. Wine of Cardui
cures permanently nineteen out of
every twenty cases of irregular
menses, bearing down pains or
any female weakness. If you are
discouraged and doctors have
failed, that is the best reason in
the world you should try Wine of
Cardui now. Remember that
headaches mean female weakness.
