Mr. Ueuntcs said: "Tho trial began before .Tudito Doollng and a Jury on October 17, and 1h proceeding rapidly. Thltt la the second trial of the case; tho firm trial rotmltcd in a disagreement. Approx imately ono hundred witnesses will be culled by the government in lib case In chief. Tho evidenca la much the same as at the first trial, altho the government is calling a great many moro applicants than It did bo fore and has also had tho advantage of the witness Dan J. Conncrs, who upon tho witness stand mado a full and complete confession, and involv ed his co-defendant Norman D. Cook. Tho governmuut will rest its cuso In fibout a week, and It Is thought that it will rcqulro tlio defenso about a woek longer to present lis side of llio case." Political Situation. Speaking of tho political situation, Mr. Koanies said: "I have been so busily engrossed in the trial of this fraud case that I have, not had tho time to assist In the cam paign as I would liked to have done. I havo, however, taken a close Inter est In the matter, and have heard ex pressions of views from all sides. In my opinion there, is no question but what California will be in the Wilson column by at loast Sii.OOO niajoritly. and I bollevo that this Is a very con servative estimate. "The situation In California Is much the same as it Is in Oregon, In that tho people nre thoroughly pro gressive and nro bitterly opposed to u return to the old stundpnt condi tions. Thoro lie a geneial feeling among the peoplo of California that tho real purpose of the old war-horsea In trying to bring about the defeat of tho president is to once moro re store to themselves the principles of luvislhlo government. Split In I'lnty. "It is true also that Iho local sit uation In California Is having a great deal to do with the result, (iovernor II Irani Johnson Is beyond doubt the biggest man in California, and the peoplo nro with him. When ho ran for tho republican nomination lor t'nlted States senator, not only did tho regular republicans who are sup porting Hughes fight him openly by declaring that lie was not a republi can, but they went to the extent of preventing Mr. Hughes from meeting (Iovernor Johnson while Hughes was In California. The relationship be tween tho different factions was so keen and pronounced that upon one occasion (iovernor Johnson anil Juduo Hughes slopped at the sumo hotel, hut tho republican managers saw to il that the two men did not meet. It ,1s all open secret that notice was serv ed upon .ludgo Hughes to the ell'ect that if ho recognized or saw (Iover nor Johnson ho could not expect the support ot tho regular republicans In California. Pi-og;iTKslvs fur Wilson. "Notwithstanding this slight given to Johnson by the presidential can didate, Johnson was nominated by an overw helming majority on the repub lican ticket. It Is now amusing to seo (he regular standpat republicans trying to get tlio Johnson vote fori Hughes, and they nro overlooking no opportunity to spread tho gospel that Johnson has declared for Hughes. I have heurd a great many proqresslves In California say that they know the real conditions, and know them well, and that they aro going to votu for Wilson." Mr. Realties will leave Portland) this evening on tho Shasta Limited to return to San l'lanclsco in order to be present Wednesday morning at the reconvening of court. Ilo will stop at Mcdford on his return, and will cast his vote for president here. I.OXIlUN, Nov. (J.

NKW YOliK, Nov. (i. President Wilson declared himself ns favoring legislation providing for the appoint ment of postmasters of all classes through competitive civil .service ex amination, in n letter to Hie National Civil Service Ueform league, which was made public today. Last week Charles K. Hughes, republican nom inee for president, indorsed such leg islation. The prcsidcnCs letter fol lows : "I wish (o stale that the postmas ter general in his annual report for the fiscnl year ended June 'M), 1011, recommended lo conpiess the enact ment of legislation which would per mit o the extension of the classified iul sen ie so as to include the posi tion of postmaster at offices of the third class. The following year he not only renewed this recommenda tion, hut asked that the position of postmaster at offices nf the second class be included as well, but no ac tion has ever been taken by congress on these recommendations. In his annual report for the fiscal year just ended he will not only renew his rec ommendation for the legislation men tioned, but will ask Ihat it be extend ed lo oficc of the tip I rjis; a well. "I am thoiouuhly in accord with the reeommeudaiinns of the postmas ter general and they have niv hearty approval. You understand, how ever, that the classification of the position does not classify the in Mtin bent, and the person holding the po sition at the time it is classified will be subject to the same competitive lot as others who apply. When these positions are classified the postmas ter general will be able to fill many of them by promotion from the cler ical grade, also by the promotion of, postmasters who have demonstrated their ability frmn a smaller office to one of greater importance. j VILLA CAPTURES DOCTOR i TO DRESS WOUNDED LEG KL PASO.

With both party leaders making the last efforts to assure wavering voters for their candidates, the republicans today claim this state by 20,0110 for Hughes, but the peculiar political angles which have entered into the cam paign, according to the democratic lenders, will give their candidate a fightinc chance.
