from Ralston,, because they do not like this thing of bosses gettting together and framing up a set of nominations.

On the other hand. If Fleming were to

form a c mblne with Taggart he could certainly take with him a good many votes, that will not be for him unless

Fleming is for .him. So it Is difficult to tell Just what the effect of this statement of Fleming will be. The name of - Congressman Adair Is again looming up as a candidate for trie

Portland, but this transaction was. per

fectly clean, and legitimate, and noth-

g more than a question of propriety

could be raised in connection with It. Adair is a first class campaigner. He 1st serving his third term n Congress, and he says he can be elected for another term if he does not run for Governor.

Thomas M. Honan, attorney-general has written a number of v letters In the last two weeks to explain to boards of trustees in incorporated towns the purpose of the act of the recent generarl

assembly which curtails the tenure of office of approximately one-half the town trustees of the state. Under an act of 1909, town trustees elected that year were to hold oflice for four years from January, 1910. The act of 1911 contemplated that the trustees should J thereafter he elected so as to have at least one holdover member on the board all the time, and to do so, cut in half

the terms of about half the number In the state.

The approach of November, the legal month for holding town elections, has found the greater number of the towns unprepared for an election. Under the 1909 act, had It not been amended, no election would be held this year. ProvlMons of the Act. The new " act provides that In towns where there is an even number of trustees the half who received the highest number of votes In the election of 1909 shall continue until January, 1914. Successors must be elected for those who received the lowest number of votes.

Where there is an odd number of trustees, the majority who received the largest vote in 1909 shall hold over, and tucessors shall be elected for those re

ceiving the lowest vote. The-attorney-general holds that where a trustee haj been appointed to fill out an unexpired term, his successor shall be elected, whether the man he succeeded did or did not receive among the highest number of votes two years ago. Further, the election of a successor to such an appointee shall not figure In the determination of the number to be elected on the basis of the majority vote. Corrupt I'rar-l lcn Art.
