Representative John A. Wester

"I regret very much," slnles Mr.

me with having deserted him in his
fight for the Rogue River fish bill.
I stayed with him throughout thn
cntiro session, ami repeatedly urgd
my friends to stay with him in his

his long hard fight led him to mis
interpret different acts on my part,
especially when ho saw mo talking in

against him on tho conference report.
But I stayed with htm throughout.
"While the papers of the state

"The trouble is thut Reames does

"I did not work for the "fish hill
