' t KTHE9000 Col Butcher, Nominee for Cdngress, in Vig orous Argurnent. W, F. Butcher, ef Baker Cttyr'Demo- tfratic candidtta for the' Second Congres stonal district, is a rough -diamond. He fully realized what he had to go against When aeeeptlng r th liomlnaUoli X Re publican majority of 9,0(10 In his district stared him In th face, but undaunted by thts, he started out on His caiiVds. making a brave and maaly fight and his particular style Of oampalgaihg is liar. ing effect. Colonel Butcher spoke at Turn Halts Saturday night atid there' was a good arowd td hear htm. He told a good many things that wer unplatable to hi Re publican friends, and the way In which he championed hi own cause, and th argument he made for vote In his favor did not tall entirely on ' barren plaoea, One point that he mad was that the administration at Washington feel se cure that Oregon can always be relied upon to set the political ball rolling in the right direction and there is no rea son to give ths stat any favors In the Way of government contracts, but the Stkte of-Washington that had gone Fopi uitst four years ago and California that was always in ths doubtful column re ceived all the consideration that the War Department could possibly, heap upon them. Colonel Butcher is making an aggres sive campaign. There are a good many who think he is going to win out, but if he doe not he will smash former Repub lican majorities of the Second district In a manner that will give party manager in evpremely bad Quarter of an hour in thinking it over. He ha a big majority to overcome and Colonel Butcher tays he Is going to get on tns right side of It. If he does there are hundreds of! his friends ' Portland who differ with him nulltlcally that will not think the state Wilt be any the worse represented by having se honest and aggressive a cham pion. . . ; Dr. Woods Hutchinson spoke at the close of the address of Colonel Butcher, and entertained the audience for-half an hour with a pungent address. . . - Matthews Abandon Hop. : In frantic desperation to save at least a portion ef the Republican machine tick et, Jack Matthews has thrown Furnish and th Republican stat ticket over board In an effort to lighten th load on his sinking craft. His single effort Is, if possible, to save the machine Legislative ticket and such candidates for seats In th City Council as hs can. Is this effort he Is bending every energy), and, with the subtle cunning that has , marked his po litical career for years past, Matthew is seeking only what will bring eOn to hU own mill and perpetuate him as a power til Multnomah County ring politics. It is an open secret that Jack Matthews does not Want th proposed new charter as It now stands. His hop to amend It that he can secure to himself the power of political dictation In th city of Portland liee In the election of Willie Banks and other pliant tools whom he has placed on th Republican Legislative ticket to do his bidding. Matthews wants a majority ef his candidate elected to the City Council, as they will be under his absolute control and compelled to car ry out th ente-electlott promises de manded of them before they were allowed a place on the machine ticket.' So far as th Republican county ticket is concerned and a la rg majority of Its candidates for city offices, Matthew has riven up sll hope. Storev, his candidate for Sheriff, will not even command the full vote of the ring combination, anil will be third In the race. Major Ken nedy's election as County Clerk is as sured. There is no doubt of Henry Hew ett's election as Commissioner and John Drlscoll as Sheriff. Judge Williams Is losing In strength every day, and so It Is all down the line with the entire machine ticket ; The voters of Portland have become aroused as never before In the political history of the city. Th putting of Jack Matthew at the head of tbe Republican part Isrthe cap-sheaf of a :monuent of insolence on th part of a few men whose 4hlbbelta is rule or ruin. Th daterml nation to stamp out effectually all sem blance of ring rule, to stamp out with both feet th Impertinent ' effort ef the Oregonlaa to run thing it own way. Is manifested on, all sides. The CHitons ticket commend Itself to every on who ha deaire to give th poopl ah hon est, practical, business-Hke administra tion, The appeal made for it support has met with a spontaneous response and show how determined, how earnest, th ma of th people are to turn down ring rul. and defeat the machln ticket " - - v - -- From Wagon Box. Th pitiful spectacle of aa old raaa 80 years of age, harrangulng a crowd of 200 people from the tallend of a Wagon la dignified by th Oregonlaa aa a monster outdoor mas meeting gathered t ax press approval of th machine ticket. The vigorous pounding , of drum and braying of horns was successful in draw ing such crowd as "gathered at Sixth and Ankeny streets Saturday night, but there was no enthusiasm, no cheering, lltOe If any applaus.. The monster outdoor Sat urday night meeting was ya miserable failure to fore aa expression of approv er of the work of Jack Matthews out of th people wh ar unmistakably declar ing their, opposition to . th ring ticket and th rings ter s who have begotten It, Judge William was, th principal speaker. He. as usual, regretted having to aar anything -about htmaelf and than devoted th greater part St fela ttw tt presenting bjta claim for suffrage for th omc -or Mayor and his record as a la boring map,- Out of respect to th speaker ths small crowd gathered to hear him listened patiently to what he had to say, but many wera.th xprslona of pity that on whoa life had been so filled ' with honor had In the weakness of his old aga allowed himself to become th head of a machln ticket just to give If aa air of respectability. At least one- half Of the men who listened to Judge William Saturday aight were RepubiU j cans wno ravor the election or me vi- ens ticket,; not because they had- de- ckim to surrender party allegiance oui on th sole ground that the only effective way of protesting against the putting ef, JaciT Matthews at th head of tn Re publican ticket waa to vot for and put Into office men over whom he could have aa control , Murderer Williams' At tempt to Defeat -Justice. John Dltohburn, attorney for James Williams, accused of the murder of George Kicks, hope to have the Inform tlon filed In th .State Circuit Court against his client by Deputy District At torney John Manning set aside. He will attack the constitutionality of th Leg islative act of Oregon, wherein the Dis trict AxQrorney can file information with out first giving the accused a preliminary examination before a committing magis trate. It is Claimed thst the act is In vio lation of th fifteenth aniendment of the constitution of th United States, which provides that a man shall not be deprived i Of his life or liberty without due prooeoe of law. When. William was arraigned before Judge Sear In the State Circuit Court this morning Attorney Dltchburn mad application for a preliminary examine tlon to be had previous to the time of pleading to iho information, which was set for Thursday. The application was denied. Counsel for the accused then filed the motion aa given below. Upon th denial ot the motion. Attorney Ditch burn, will appeal to the State supreme Court, and if denied by that tribunal an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. The motion follows: "James 'Williams moves the court to Set aside the Information for the reason and upon the ground: "Flrst-That th laid James Williams has not been examined, and th crime with which he Is Charged In said infor mation Has not been investigated by a committing magistrate. "Second That he has not been held to answer to any committing magistrate. . "Third That h has not waived his right to an examination and investiga tion before a committing magistrate. "" ' 'PourtiwTha "he hoi demanded ah ex amlnatwh and investigation before a committing magistrate. "Plfth-That the aald Jsmes Williams Is being deprived of his liberty and. his life endangered without due process or law, contrary to the flftenth amendment of the constitution of the United States of America. "Sixth That the names .of the wit nesses examined before the parties mak ing the Information does not appear on the said Information. "Seventh That the said John Manning la not the District Attorney for this or any district; that he has no power or au thority under the law. to examine. Inquire Info or file said information. . - - BOTH SIDES WERE WARPED Circuit Judge M. C. Oeorge thts morn ing rendered a decision in the suit of James Marshall vs. . Oeorge Black. In volving claims and counter claims aris ing out of a house building contract. MarshrV sued for a balance on the build ing cc ract amounting to $898.80 $100 at torney s fees, and $1 fee for tiling of a mechanic's lien. The principal dispute was over $75 claimed to be due for mak Ing the stairs, whll the defense put In a counter claim for gl20 resulting from delay, and other damage for falling to live up to the contract. Judge Oeorge held that the plaintiff was entitled to re- cover $45 on the stair work, and that he waa not liable for damages caused by delay. Black 'was entitled to $3.60 for th failure of Marshall to put on a gable or nament. The other ltm wherwlth warped doors and other defective mater ials are said to have been used, wer do elded la favor of the plaintiff. Seventy five dollars was allowed fts attorney's fees, the defendant to pay the report er' fees, and coats to b paid by each party for Its itself.
