PORTLAND, Oct. G. Jay Bow
errann, assembly enndidato for gov
ernor, has a consistent record in
favor of asscmblyism. Ho was 0110
of tlio 12 statu senators in tbo last
session of tbo legislature who gavo
bis voto in favor of the discredited
Mariner bill, which bad passed tbo
bouso of representatives and pro
posed to give tbo sanction of law to
sucb movements of tbo old ring as
culminated Inst July in tbe nomina
tion of Bowcrmnn.
To Mariner bill was officially
ticsignnted ns bouso bill 344 nud
enmc before tbo senafo for tbird
reading; and final action of Febru
ary 17, 1009. Tbe voto by wbicb tha
bill was defeated may be found on
the senate journal of 1909, page
G73.
Not only did Bowermau vote for
tbe Mariner bill, but bo left his seat
as president of tbe senate, went on
tbe floor and made a speech for it
In this little speech be defended tho
"principles" of assemblyism and
went out of his way to cast a slur
on the direct primary law. In that
speech he said he regarded the
choice of a convention as better
than tbe direct primary, particularly
as to state nominations. He said bo
would much rather voto for some
man that a convention deemed
qualified than for "one who bought
his nomination bj paying five cents
apiece for signatures to his peti
tion." What Bill Provided.
The Mariner bill, after tbe usual
enacting clause, rend as follews:
"Section 1. That any "political
party as. defined in sectionvll of
chapter 1, laws of 1905 (the direct
primary law) may hold county, dis
trict and state conventions for the
purpose of declaring party princi
ples and suggesting names to be
placed upon tho diredt primary bal
lot for such party, not exceeding
three names for any one office,
which names so suggested shall be
placed upon such ballot when cer
tified substantially as provided in
sectious 2791 and 2792 of Bellinger
and Cotton's annotated codes and
statutes of Oregon.
"Section 2. That the county, dis
trict and state central committees of
such parties shall provide for tbe
holding of such conventions at such
times and places, and in such man
ner ns may bo determined by tbe
respective state committees, and the
same shall be held a sufficient length
of time prior to tbe holding of the
direct primary elections ns to have
1he results properly certified and
tbe names suggested placed upon
the direct primary ballots.
j Held Assembly Anyway.
"Section 3. Nothing in this net
shall be construed to prevent or in
any way bo construed to prevent or
in any way hinder persons from
being nominated and their names
placed upon tho direct primary bal
lots in any manner now provided by
law for such nominations."
It will be seen that the Mariner
bill proposed to centralize political
power in tbo bands of the state cen
tral committee, which might not onlv
provide tbe manner of holding stale
conventions, but the mnnner of hold
ing county and district conventions
ns well. Bowermnn's anxiety for
tho passage of the Mariner bill sug
gests that tbo idea of gaining tbe
governorship by such means may
then bnvo been in his mind. When
that bill failed of passage, tbo man
ipulators went abend just t)ie same,
called tbe nssembly, and nominnted
the Bowcrman ticket,"

Louis W. Hill Says There Will Be
No Let Up on Projects in This
State in Spite of Retrenchments
Elsewhere.
POKTLAXD, Oct. 0. "We have
discontinued construction work all
over tbo United States except in Or
egon," said Louis W. Hill this morn
ing when discussing tho railroad
situation throughout tho country, in
this city. "This menus that 1000
miles of railroad work that should
be under construction is now lying
dormant awaiting more favorable
conditions.
"In Oregon wo will carry nil the
work now under way to completion
nud by tbe timo that has been done
things may have changed so that i'
will bo possiblo to take up new pro
jects here."
Louis W. Hill is n son of James
J. Hill, the railroad magnate, and is
president of tho Great Northern
railroad.
"The financial situation is in a
most peculiar condition," Mr. Hill
explained, "and that accounts for
our having discontinued work every
where but in Oregon. In spite of ex
cellent business indications it is im
possible to get money on railroad
securities.
"The country appears to be in
prosperous condition. Business men
east have no serious complaints to
make and out west hero everything
seems prosperous, especially so in
Oregon. Portland looks fine and
appears so active that I have even
reason to believe that business is
good.
Conditions Peculiar.
"I am not prepared to attribute
this peculiar condition to nny par
ticular cause. It may be politics,
but I would not say so. Confidence,
I guess, is shaken a little. In view
of tho general prosperity, tho cloud
should not hang over the country
very long. Wo may have to look n
little far in tbe future, but normal
conditions will eventually be re
stored, of that I am satisfied."

RETURNS FROM HUNT
WITH GREAT COUGAR
J. P. Denkins, a blacksmith of
Medford, returned homo Tuesday
evening, the proud possessor of a
cougar skin measuring 10 feet three
inches from tip to tip. Dinkens in
company with Dell Morrison and
William IBildeiback has been hunting
on Flat creek 12 miles above Pros
pect. While out from the camp alone ho
ran across the punthor as it was
springing upon a deer. Tho deer ea
t'aped nud tbo ferocious fclino turn
ed towards him. His first shot hit tho
animal in tho neck, killing it almost
instantly.
When Denkins fired tho panther
was thirty feet distant and was
crouched ready to spring at him. He
estimated tho weight of the cougar
at 350 pounds. Dickens report that
tbo cougars are becoming very bold
in tbo Flat Creek country, coming
into camp at night.
Mr, Dinkens refused bounty on tha
cougar as tho law requires that tho
claws bo out of as evidence and he
didn't care to injure tbe skin.

for the relief of victims of the Opor

"It is untrue and unjust to say
that I caused the king's downfall.
He gave me only small presentts
which even a poor man could have
afforded and it was not extrava

for appearing three months here. I
believe that that income is grenter

"The king is a nice young man,

DEATH RIDES
WITH MOTORMAN
Thirty-six People Dead and 31 In
jured in Accident Motorman
Flees Country After the Wreck
Car Plunges Down Embankment.
STAUTON, III., Oct. 5. That John
Lierman, motorrann of tho north
bound car, No. 14, was responsible
for tho wreck which caused the
death of 30 persons and tho injury
of 31 others is the statement today
of Vice-President Chubbuck of tho
Illinois Traction company.
Lierman fled after the accident,
enmo to Stnuton, drew his savings
from tbe bank here, and then disap
peared. '
Tho Illinois state railroad commis
sion today began an investigation of
tho accident and tho county authori
ties and railroad officials joined in
tbe inquiry. Tbo wreck is tho worst
that aver occurred on a traction line
in Illinois. Car No. 37. southbound,
running ns a tpecinl, bound for St.
Louis, carried a crowd of peoplo who
wanted to jojn in tho festivities in
connection with tbo celebration of
tho "Veiled Prophet." Liermnu's
car was filled with visitors for the
stato fair at Springfield.
Lierman was ordered to wait nt
Staunton, it is said by tho traction
officials, for two sections of No, 37.
No. 37 usually is a single limited
southbound cnr. Because of tho
largo number of St. Louis pnsscn
gors yestordny a second cnr was ad
ded and run ns tho second section.
Tho northbound cnr waited for tho
regular southbound cnr to pass and
then hurried north. Tho "southbound
special, run ;is tho second seotion of
No. 37, was met two minutes Inter
at tbo bottom of a down grndo on n
long curve. The superstructure of
tho southbound car was demolished
and tbe northbound car twisted and
splintered. It was htirlml toward tho
odgo of a deep cut.
