Among other things, itays?, - "Thfr secret meeting in, the o'fttee of a local corporation for the preparation of a slate "vvas Ii gross blunder and a grave injustice totlie delegates to the assembly." This corporation sUte endorsed by the assembly was headed by Jay Bowcrmau, a Southern Pacific attorney, and eminently satisfactory to the corporations. By virtue of a divided opposition, Jay Bowermau, "assembly nominee for governor, is now republican nominee, though opposed to the principles the rank and file believe in. p The asrcnibly intended to "put the knife into Statement (No. 1," and Bowcrmau was selected as best qualified to Tfee Mall .Tribune la on sale at the SKJand ifotelNetra Staad.

Bowermau, as president of the senate, killed the three normal schools of the state. "Who was so well qualified to kill Statement No. 1 as the normal school slayer? Jay Bowerman's platform has been overwhelmingly repudiated by the republican party. What an absurdity it would be to elect as governor a man opposed to the prin ciples of his party, a politician who seeks to restore to power the political, machine "repeatedly smashed by the people, a wily schemer who received his own nomination by the employment of convention methods and manipu lations !

Hodson of Portland, in a com- munication to the Oregon Journal, tells how the cher ished and lamented "assembly" was "packed" for Bow erman by enemies of the direct primary law. He says: "The assembly also came in for a great deal of crit icism.. When it was first announced there would be an I open and free convention, many of us who had fought the aCEBVOKD, OEISOX.

It became apparent before the work was completed, however, that delegations' had been, solicited and secured prior to the opening and that candidates who intended placing their names before the open meeting had absolutely no show of winning an indorsement. I do not say first class men were not chosen in each instance, but the method smacked too strongly of the old system. So, instead of being a help to those secur ing its indorsement, the assembly really acted as a hand icap. No assembly can ever again succeed which brings in delegations pledged in advance. That practical politi cians will ever consent to the holding of a convention of I unpledged members seems now beyond possibility." Yet Uowerxnan, leader, master and packer of the re pudiated assembly, comes before the people and asks an endorsement of the assembly and its methods, and its pur poses, by his own election as governor. FIRE SETTING I MACHINE FOUND A PLATFORM OF. MUSH. ' Fwestry Officials Find Queerly Constructed Machine Designed to Start Forest Fire But Allow Man ts Make His Escape. 9 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29. Offi cials of the forestry service ara con ducting today u rigid Investigation following the discovery of what they Iwrileve to have been a macLine de signed to set fire to the forests In tiel Cleovjand reserve. ,The machine consisted of a copper wire cone, beneath which on a dry tase a tallow candle was fastened. The cone was arranged so that the asa'dle after being lighted would be protected from the wind and would -re burn for sotno time bofore reaching the base, upon which inflammable aa'terial was scattered. The officials appear to be convlnc MMthat the bllder of the machine purposed to light the candle and, moHBtlng a horse, bo many miles away whon tbo fire was discovered.

J np HE platform of the so-called progressives in New York A is about the worst bit of political sop that a conven tion has ever cooked up .in the name of progress. Out of an opposition that was predicated upon the maladminis tration of Taft and the rotten tariff legislation of his ad ministration, conies gushings of sycophantic praise, eulo- 1 gizing him as the statesman pre-eminent, and upholding tne aamnawc Aidncli-i'ayne tantt bill as a legislative boon to mankind. In the face of all this mush one might wonder what had occasioned all the previous ruction, and it seems that this query might go down in history with another celebrated inquiry as to the identity of the individual who struck "Billy Patterson." What hope can the people expect from a "reform" that wholly endorses and applauds the iniquitous measurps that ave robbed and .oppressed the people for the benefit of nA?.1 .J.AUA X a Ti?

"The Lottery Mtm" ut the Mcdforil theater lust niht drew a laro crowd. "The Lottery Muu" in a comedy in three acts, written by liiriu oJltnsoii Young, lttda conceived n yery funny plot, but worked it out rather lamely. The counter-plot seemed to bo gath ered up here and there with a view to filling tit time between the import ant events which developed the main theme. The actors in the east were not the best. ' They were caricatures rather than characters. Thev gave us n cartoon edition of what iniizht bu made a good legitimate comedy. Miss Ogden us Lizzie Hoburts was the chief fun maker, but even she over drew her character. The situations in nor part were particularly good, in fact, in the parlance of the stage the part would play itself, and if Miss Ogdcn would tone down her extrava gant expressions and try and repre sent sonic human being that could In found "in the heavens above or the earth beneath or the waters under tho earth" ;he would make a real bit with the lover of legitimate comedy. As to the young men who pluyod the leadirig characters, they will some day be good actors, but at present llieir perplexities and merriment seemed rather ferced: They apicared to bo good-looking young men win hud graduated recently from Klaw & Erlanger's school of acting. The above criticism may be a little harsh, as the nudienco seemed to bo thoroughly well pleased, and, after all, there is no set rulo for making the public laugh; but with tho mem ory of Wilton Lackey's most excel lent performance still fresh in our minds it would indeed lake n com pany of artists to follow such n per formance as "Tho Hnttle" and not disappoint a little. Si Hut Mr. Ilnzelrigg is giving us n fine Jot of entertainments, and with "Stubborn Cindrella" as the next at traction we certainly linve no reason to complain. AUTOMOBILES 0. W. Murphy. O. M.

A fONO the needs of Medford is a building inspector. With large buildings going up on every hand and a tendency to a dangerous economy in materials, that may spell future disaster, fhero is need of municipal regulation. Other cities have learned by costly experience. Med ford should learn from thpir experience, and not .repeat their mistakes. Contractors assert that they are forced to follow the plans dictated by owners. Walls have been and are being erected of insufficient strength to stand the necessary pressure. Materials are being used, particularly in cement work, which tests show are not suitable. Any responsible con tractor knows this and will confirm it, but his objections are overruled.' It has been found necessary in other cities to enforce building laws, and it is equally necessary in Medford. One collapsed structure will spell greater loss than all the saving effected on all the buildings by unsuitable ma terials. ... ' W'T&n'TFrfr'?&M!,-r' V- ' ' . ' PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 29.
