GRANGES FOR FUTURE! CASE TO SUPREME COURT
IN STRAW ELECTION
Assumed High Office This After
noon; New York Attorney
Is Lieutenent Governor.
SULZER SAYS FIGHT
HAS ONLY BEGUN NOW
Will Be a Candidate for the
Democratic Nomination at
Next General Election.
Continued from Friday, October 17.
(By United Press Association.)
Albany, X. Y., Oct. 17. Governor
Sulzer was removed from the gover
norship of Xcw York by the impeach
ment court by a vote of forty-three to
-ieuteiiant Governor Glynn
was sworn in as governor m a few
minutes before one o'clock this after
noon. The new governor evidently
considered the time opportune for his
inaugural address and assumed the of
fice practically without comment.
Governor Sulzer told one of his
lawyers today that he has only begun
ihe fight and later added that under
the circumstances he welcomed the
verdict of removal, since the filing of
the impeachment articles ruined his
usefulness as a public official. He
icd no formal statement today but
may do so later. He gave the impres
sion that he will be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor at the next election. Should he
fail to receive the Democratic nomi
nation he will run as an independent
candidate.
Sulzer was removed after the court
voted that he was not guilty on arti
cles five, six, seven and eight, which
charged that he persuaded Becker
Cohvell not to respond to a subpoenac
from t!.e investigating committee,
that he committed larceny in specu
lating with campaign contributions,
that he threatened to use his office
'and influence to control public offi
cials and that he used his office cor
ruptly to effect the price of stocks
because he was personally interested
in them.
Sulze'r's removal docs not disquali
fy him from again holding office in
Xew York state.

the organization which he said was
now at a point wher? additional insur
ance was not necessary to insure suc

safe basis. The amount insured is
$1,600,000, and steadily increasing.
Xone but members of ihe grange
ican insure, but the policy given for
five years is good, ;tio matter by
whom held as long as assessments
are paid up. It is the least expensive
insurance there is, and just as safe
as any in existence, and members
should avail themselves of the same.

though a number of candidates were
in waiting, but absent officers brok
into efficient team work.

Provision in New Law Provides
That Nominations Should be
Made Before 25 Days.
CITY ATTORNEY SWAN
URGES PEOPLE TO GET BUSY
Nominating Petitions Must Be
Signed By at Least Thi se
Per Cent of Electors.
That nominations for city offices
if made by a. political party shall be
filed not less than forty days before
the date of tile election and that nom
inations by individual electors should
be filed not less than 25 days, was the
statement of City Attorney L. L.
Swan this morning, after looking up
the new law on this point. That the
people should get busy and nominate
their candidates and not be in the
same boat as the people in Salem and
others are, who have apparently over
looked this provision of the law, was
the declaration made by Mr. Swan.
The following statement was given
out by the city attorney.
"Section 3340 of Lords Oregon
Laws was amended by the 1913 leg
islature so that nominations for city
offices if made by a political party or
assembly shall be filed with the coun
ty clerk not more than one hundred
and not less than forty days before
the date of election. The old law read
thirty days instead offorty.
"If nominations arc made by indi
vidual electors the certificate shall be
filed with the recorder not more than
one hundred days and not less than
twenty days before the date of the
election. This would make nomina
tions if filed not later than October
21st and nominations made by indi
vidual electors must be filed on or be
fore November 5th. This section for
merly provided that nominations by
political parties must be filed not less
than thirty days and nominations by
individual electors not less than fif
teen days before election so that in
each case the certificate must be filed
ten days earlier than formerly.
iVominatmg petitions must be sign
ed by at least three per cent of the
electors of the city or the ward as
the case may be. The total number
of electors of the city is estimated at
2000 and petitions for city offices at
large shall contain upward of sixty
registered electors."

SURVEYING?
Sr
PENLAND & EATON
KOOM 1 Albany State Bank
Portland Travelling Kan Wan
dered to Grants Pass After
Runaway Accident.
SAYS MISHAP SEEMS TO
HIM LIKE A DREAM
Describes Incident at Browns
ville and Says He Was
Hit on His Head.
Found in a dazed condition in
Grants Pass yesterday afternoon, W.
E. Green, who mysteriously disap
peared from Brownsville following a
runaway accident, was recognized by
a friend and will return to Portland.
This gives proof of the theory of the
Brownsville hotel man who said that
he saw Green board a train and leave
that place, wearing a cap, on the night
after the accident happened. A young
boy at Brownsville also said that he
saw Greene in Brownsville at that
time.
The word that Greene had been .
found at Grants Pass was conveyed
last night to Brownsville over the
telephone by the Blake McFall Co.,
who were informed by tUkferam.
Word to this effect was received by
the Democrat over the phone from
Brownsville shortly afterwards.
According to the information,
Green was discovered in a billiard hall
by K. P. W. Cook, a fellow traveller.
Cook was not recognized by Greene,
who spoke incoherently and tried to
ignore his friend. Greene arrived in
Grants Pass Thursday morning and
lodged in a cheap house. The whole
incident seemed like a dream to him,
he said, and just all that transpired
is vague to his mind. He does not
know how he got to Grants Pass.
He relates the accident with much
detail. Once he said he had a hat
check and said he thought he was
passed up by the crew in the train.
It was not until he slept most of the
day and night that he began to awak
en to his condition,
Greene says the accident was caus
ed by the wheel of the buggy slipping
off the axle. He got out. of the ve
hicle to attempt to replace the wheel.
The horses took fright, and ran down
the grade towards the stream, where
he says lie was thrown and injured on
the back of the head.
Mr. Greene's home is at 1228 Den
ver avenue, Portland. He is re
garded as one of the most trustwor
thy employees of the Blake-MeFall
company. His territory as a salesman
for that house was the smaller towns
of the Willamette valley, which he
made driving out from Portland. The
Blake-Mc Kail company had men drag
ging the river Thursday and Friday.
It was learned this morning that
Greene purchased a brown duck cap
Tuesday morning at the Blain Cloth
ing store saying he was going fishing
or hunting up in the hills. This fur
ther strengthens the theory that he
was seen at Brownsville on the night
aftr the accident happened.
CAFETERIA MAN MISSING
AND CHEOiTCRS ANXIOUS
Where is Fred Fair? This is the
question which is being asked today
by local business men and his for
mer employees who claim that Fair
is indebted to them for debts con
tracted while engaged in the restau
rant business here.
Fair leased the Palm Cafeteria from
Mack Monteith several weeks ago and
since that time has been conducting
the establishment. He has been miss
ing since yesterday and it is under
stood that claims against him have
been placed in the hands of local at
torneys for collection.
