on a charge of complicity In the

authorities know that a reori
tion of the party must come, but
they do not believe a firm base ex
ists for it now. To them it is a
simple question of practical politics.
Reorganization now would center
largely In throwing out Chairman
Fletcher and replacing htm With
somoone who has a more innocent
facial expression. If some barefoot
boy with cheek of tan would leave
off splitting rails, or whatever they
split on the farms nowadays, and
take over the chairmanship, the pub
lic front of the party would have
less of the best-dressed-gentlcman
appearance. The Republican think
ers concede It would be better to
have someone with more freckles
than Fletcher has.
But they consider that Important
only If accompanied by the adoption
of new party doctrines. They do not
see how that could be accomplished
from a practical standpoint.
They consider Borah's anti-monopoly,
constitutional liberty and
wealth redistribution Ideas as good
Issues mainly because any one can
stretch them or contract them at
will to fit his own transient con
servative or liberal principles. In
fact, they can be stretched all the
way from Huey Long to Carter Glass,
which la quite a distance. But to
adopt them as a party platform now
is another matter.
This may be said to represent In
varying degrees the private view of
Republicans, from the Senator Cou
wns type up. You will not find them
coming out and saying anything like
that, but you will be able to read
it In their actions from now on.
In view of their eminence and In
fluence, It would appear that there
Isn't going to be any party reor

G. W. Smith, business associate of

The elderly merchant was nlud

He had been robbed and his house

In two week end fires, both quick!?
controlled by the Medford fire de
partment, approximately 1900 damage
was caused at Caiglll court early
Sunday morning when a blaie started
near the roof and worked down thru
four apartments, and approximately
900 at the residence of Perl c. Bate
man, 1123 West Ninth street early
this morning, when a blaze started
from a faulty fireplace, awept up a
stairway and burned out a portion of
the roof.
At Carglll court the bathrooms on
four floors were badly damaged but
the flra waa confined to one section
of the building, aa firemen held It
within the partlona on each floor. It
started between the waits near the
roof, ahortly before 7:30 a. m., accord
ing to Plre Chief Roy Elliott. No
evidence of a causa haa been found,
but due to tha fact that there were
no heating appliances where the fire
started, faulty wiring la blamed.
Faat work on the part of firemen
prevented further damage except to
the kitchens of some of tha apart
ment, the walls of which were
burned. Tha Inhabitants of the four
apartments were Chief of Police Cla-
toua McCredle. A. E. Pcaaley, Emma
Jenkins and Mra. Viola Corby, Rich
ard Koenlg.
As the fire department reached tha
apartment soon after tha blaze broke
out, there was no confusion In the '
building, and the residents had am
ple time to leave safely. The fire waa
completely tinder control within an
hour and a half after the alarm waa
turned in.
In tha Ninth atreek residence,
smouldering log, in tha fireplace waa
given aa the cause of the blase, which
broke out about 3:30 a. m. and waa
under control by 4 o'clock.
Firemen saved practically all tha
furniture by covering is, and had the
fire extinguished after It destroyed a
stairway, section of the attic, and
part of the roof.
