They ure bused on his decls ion to leuva bis capital for Queretaro and tbe fact that Mrs. Curranza al reudy has crossed the border Into the I'nited States, accompanied hy the wife of her husband's war minister and chief supporter, Generul Obregon Information to this effect is reach ing officials here from various relia ble sources. So far nothing tangible tending to support the story has come through official channels. It is known, however, that many officials here he lievo General Curranzu hns committed a political blunder, at least, if he is not In fact p eparlng for flight, by per mining his family to leave Mexico Just ut this time. The trip, the say, wns rertuin to be construed by his followers as a con fession of weukness. The purpose of the visit of Mrs. Car runzu and Mrs. Obregon, us explained ut the Mexican Embassy, Is for a tour of tho United States. Word of the ar rival at the border also of Mrs. Jacinto Trevino, wife of the military com mander of Chihuahua state, hud not boon received tonight. It wus pointed out, however, thut Trevino has been among Carranza's Rtuimcliest support ers and If the first chief believed hla hold on the pomticul situation was weakening, Trevino probably would bo warned, in order that he might also plac e his family In safety.

From one end of the Democrat- - Ic parade last night to the other, 1 from E. T. Mas ou a donkey to i' the laat straggling marcher a block and halt behind, there 4 waa not an American flag. There t u not a bit of bunting, not a 4 scrap of clotb that even could be t 4 mistaken for the national colore, t Maaa himself wore ah of red 4 -I- acroa one shoulder, but, other- wise, the parade waa almost col- orleas. 4- Tbe parade went south on Main street a far a Sixth when the - band alopped and the marchers crowded around on tbe street and - sidewalk. Finally the line waa -v-formed again and tbe little band bravely started north on Muln i f street. Scores on the sirewalk looked for aome bit of bunting, 1 f an American flag', however small Hut there waa none. The Demo- rrats had forgotten their much- boasted Americanism altogether. 1 Speaking In an easy, though force ful manner. Senator George Chamber lain recounted and reviewed the ac complishments of the Democratic ad ministration during th last three years and one-bait. He lauded Presi dent Wl'srin and upheld hla Interna tional policy. Tbe policy followed by President Wilson in dealing witb Mex ican aa well as European problems, he declared, was the same policy adopted I years before by Republican presidents, naming Lincoln. Polk and Grant. Ilusi h's hall, where the meeting was held, was crowded with about 1400 per sons. Tbe remarks of the senior sen ator of this state were met frequency with applause. Many Republicans ai well as Democrats were seated in the large hall to hear the speaker. Senator Chamberlain did not abuse Justice Hughes or Roosevelt, when re ferring to them. At the beginning of his speech, which lasted for about one hour and a half, he told his audi ence that he did not believe In abuse and vindication. "If In discussing the men who oppose my beliefs politically I must indulge in abuse and vllllfica tion," said Chamberlain, "I will leave politics.'' Democratic Laws Explained. Some of the legislation which hud been put through congress during thi past three years and a half were ex plained from the Democratic view point by Senator Chamberlain. He discussed the rural credits bill and told of the benefits which the farmers would derive. The banking act was also explained, as well as the child la bor law. Senator Chamberlain declared that the so-called eight hour law passed re cently by congress was not forced through congress by either the rail road Interests or the railroad em- p'oyes. It was passed by congress ho declared, at the request of the presi dent, because, he said, 100,000,000 Americans' interests were at stake. "Mr. Hughes first declared that he was opposed to this measure in its en tirety," he said. But later he de clared that he favored the eight hour bill, but objected to the manner in which it had passed the senate and the house, and that this was a bill Increas ing wages. I tell you that no men tion of wages Is made in this bill, but that it provides for an eight hour day. Foreign Policy Defended. (Continued on Page 4.) As lawyer, governor, nnd jus- ? 4- tire.

THAYER. ; ? $ UPHOLD THE PRIMARY LAW Responses of the Republican voters of Clackamas county to tno exposure of The Enterprise In reference to the tactics of the little Democratic clique to defeat the Republican nominees for district et torney, fop assessor, for commissioner and for representatives in the legislature, have been far-reaching. The candidates for these offices who were nominated by the Re publicans nt the direct primary are eminently satisfactory to the Re publican voters of Clackamas county and they are not to be fooled by the Democratic clap-trap of "non-partisanship," which is never raised except by the Democrats in opposition to Republican candi dates. You who are Republicans are responsible for the fact that these candidates on your ticket are in the race. Is it fair to strike a blow at the fundamental principle of the primary law? The answer to the minority who are trying to enter a wedge into Republican success at the November election Is to VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET!
