TATE OP OREGON. County of Jack
son, ss:
On this lat day
Dei
senally appeared before me, Q. Put-
of July. 1910,
manatrer of the Medford Mall TrI
tane. who. uaon oath, acknowledged that
tt above figures are true and correct.
(Seal) H. N. TOCKEV.
Notary Public for Oregon.
THIS promises to be the young man's year in polities in
Oregon.
Jay Bowernmn, who has been nominated by the re
publican assembly, is 33 years of age. Oswald West, who
will probably be the democratic nominee, is 37 years old.
Both have been in public life for the past eight or ten years,
and the record of each is an indication of what may be ex
pected from them in case of election.
Mr. Bowennan is an able and adroit politician, as well
as a corporation lawyer of note. He shines in legislatures
and conventions. His nomination by the assembly was
eminently fitting, for he personifies, more than any of tho
candidates, that particular brand of politics tho assembly
is endeavoring to ro-populamo in Oregon the restora
tion of " representative " government as contrasted with
the principle of direct legislation.
Mr. "West as state land agent made an enviable record
in cleaning up what had been a stronghold of graft. As
railroad commissioner his record has been all that the most
exacting could ask. His decisions, while fair, have been
uniformly against the traffic corporations. He represents
the principle of direct legislation, and the progress of this
movement is largely due to his efforts.
Of course neither of these young men have yet been
nominated. Probablv each will have a hard fight to se
cure his party nomination, especially Mr. Bowennan, who t
aircaay iaces a consiaeraoie revolt m ins own party, noui
are good fighters, strong, resourceful men, and should each
receive his party's endorsement, with the clear-cut issue
outlined, we can look forward to the most interesting cam
paign in many veal's.

TACOMA, Wash., July 23. Re
fusing repeated importunities to
elope with him, Mrs. Fletcher John
sou, tho wife of a clerk in the gen
eral office of the Northern Pacific,

tried to induce her to leave her hus
band and go away with him. She
declined to consider the proposal and
ho drew a revolver and threatened to
kill her. She grubbed a shotgun in

BUSINESS GETTING
BETTERBRAD STREET
NEW YORK, July 23. Brad
t root's said teday:
Trade and Industry aro etill mark
ing tlmo, awaiting tho passing of tho
vacation season and tho progress of
the leading crops nearer to maturity.
A fair number of buyers aro in the
leading markets, but their operations
aro governed by conservatism pend
ing clearer vlows of crop outturn.
Reports as to tho fall trade out
look are optimistic In the southwest
and central west, and tho outlook In
"the northwest Is fairly cheerful.
Clearance sales stimulate final dis
tribution of summer goods, though
results are still hardly up to antici
pations, Indstrial reports point to quiet In
from the seclusion of the down-and-out club and
HIS seems to be a year when various has-beens emerge
prance around in fanciful efforts to "come back."
Eirst of the one-time illustrious to seek again to wear
the departed halo of other days was Mr. James J. Jeffries.
He thought he could "come back" but he couldn't
The ever interesting T. R., with his big stick and Ana
nias club is one of those quite confident of "coming back"
and apparently with good reason. Bryan is striving and not
very successfully, to "come back" in his own state. Even
Uncle Joe is swearing and cussing frantically through
Kansas in the effort to recover his fallen sceptre. Dr.
Cook hasn't yet emerged from the peaceful shadows, but
he probably will before the year is out. Once in a' while
Hearst shows his head, but only long enough for someone
to shy a brick at it.
Most recent of the efforts to "come back" is the polit
ical convention in Oregon, and the host of hungry poli
ticians demanding seats at the pie counter, all of whom
were put out of business b' the direct primary law.
A supreme effort has been made to resurrect the con-1
forth in the assembly that those who will not accept the
dictum of the assembly and wear its collar are not repub
lican. A republican, in brief, is one who abdicates his
personal rights and the privileges granted him under the
direct primary law of choosing his own candidate, and
lets the politicians of the assembly name them. As the
corporations sooner or later control all conventions, be
cause they pay the freight, everyone knows what this
means.
There is no reason why politicians should not hold an
assembly, if they desire. There is no reason, either, why
the voters in the party should endorse the assembly's
nominees, unless they stand for those princrples which the
voters believe in. Some of the candidates named will be
found worthy some will not. Each candidate will find
himself called upon to set forth his own principles, and
upon these and upon his personality and not upon as
sembly recommendation, will his endorsement by the peo
ple depend.
Can the convention "come back" or will it find itself
in the same class with Jeffries? September will tell the
story.
Incomplete Returns Show That Col
quett Is Leading In Race for the
Democratic Gubernatorial Nomina

AUSTIN, Tex., July 23. A con
stitutional nmendmcut providing for
statewide prohibition was tho chief
issue hnfnrn llin voters at tha Damn- '
emtio primaries today. Tho weather

votes woro cast.
Incomplete returns from Northern
Texas tonight show that O. U. Col

gubernatorial nomination. It is cer
tain that he will carry Dallas county,
one of the state's largest. Colquitt

Tho propositions were laid down
by Judge Cleeton in tho county cir-
1 cuit court this afternoon, when iio
I rendered a decision ordering Dr.
Wing Leo, a Chinese physician, lo
I support his Norwegian wife. The
I couple wero marriod six years ago.
Wing had contended that he was
' not obliged to buv tood that Chinese

Mrs. Leo alleged that her spouse
had tried to Htarve her for three
weeks.

MAPPING LOCAL HEARST
ROADS FOH AUTOS; ENEMY BY MINERS
G. P. Beck and the "Pathfinder"
car, representing the Oregon as well
as tho Portland automobile associa
tions, is in Medford, mapping out tho
main roads of Jackson county for
the automobile map of the state. The
map will show each road, itt length
and the principal grades, its object
being to furnish auto owners with the
information necessary in making a
journey over any section.
Mr. Beck will not go over the Cra
ter Lake highway, Engineer Heidul
having agreed to supply him with u
map of tho road, made from com
pleted surveys. He will, however, go
from Ashland over tho Pelican bay
road to Klamath Falls.
Tho map will bo completed on or
about August 15. Data already se
cured is available from tho Portland
Auto club.
DKNVEIt, July 23. The Western
Federation of Miners today went on
record as not favoring sending all of
their officers to jail again, and be
cause of the possible wrath of the
United States court,. eliminated the
word "boycott" in denouncing Hearst
and all his papers.
Instead of using the word boycott,
Hearst is declared to be an "enemy"
of organized labor, because of his
refusal to intercede in the lockout of
3000 members- of the federation at
the Homestead mines, controlled by
Mrs. Phoobe Hearst.
