trict, has defeated Charles V. Galloway
by about 3500. W. R. Ellis, Republican, In
the Second District, has a lead over James
H. Graham, Democrat, that will approach
15,000. ,
Willis C. Duniway, Republican, for State
Printer; Frank W. Benson, Republican,
for Secretary of State, and Robert Eakin,
Republican, for Supreme Judge, have de
feated their respective opponents by un
precedented pluralities.
Woman suffrage was beaten by about
10,000 and the proposed, local option
amendment was lost by about the same
vote. The Legislature Is overwhelmingly
Republican.
The success of Governor Chamberlain
was achieved through his carrying a num
ber of counties that went against him in
1902, and through his having equalled or
exceeded his vote of that year in the
other counties. He carried a large ma
jority of counties and in Multnomah has
a plurality of about 330. . His largest lead
is in Baker about 700.
The counties carried by Dr. Withycombe
were 14 In number, as follows: Benton,
Columbia, Coos, Curry,-Douglas, Jackson,
Josephine, Lake, Lincoln, Sherman, Tilla
mook, Wallowa, Wasco, Washington.
Mr. Bourne's plurality, for United
States Senator (long term) has been
somewhat reduced from early estimates,
which seemed to indicate a margin of
about 5000. His unexpected loss in Marlon
County to Mr. Gearln, the Democratic
candidate, by about 700, the Qearin plu
rality in Baker County of about the same
figure and the heavy adverse vote of
Ljnn, with some minor changes, lopped
off about 2500. leaving the Republican
candidate for United States Senator with
a safe lead of 2300 over his Democratic
opponent. The returns are not complete,

CHICAGO. June 5.-(Special.) Political
I' destruction of President Roosevelt and all
who acknowledge alliance with him in his
fight on the packers is the plan of the
millionaire proprietors of America's meat
industry. As soon as J. Ogden Armour
returns from Europe, the heads of the
big concerns will meet and arrange a plan
of action. It contemplates the enlist
ment of all the trusts and corporations
at whom the administrative guns have
been aimed. With a powerful organiza
tion of the millions Invested in big in
dustries, the captains of finance will en
deavor to capture the machinery of
whichever of the two big parties may be
most effectively utilized.
Capital Cannot Trust Him.
According to a leading lawyer for the
packers, who was engaged In their de
fense in, the recent, trial before Judge
Humphrey, the great capitalists of this
country realize that Roosevelt is no
longer to be trusted to represent their
interests. Lately he has shown a ten
dency that is dangerouly Socialistic, they
aver, and has demonstrated the peril of
electing a man of radical mind, to the
Presidency. This lawyer is the recog
nized spokesman for the packers, but re
fuses to permit the use of his name, for
political reasons. He says:
Has Hounded Corporations.
'President Roosevelt has done all he
can to ruin the great financial Interests
of this country. He has hounded the coal
mine-owners, persecuted the railroads and
pursued the packers with .animosity, due
to apparent enmity engendered by defeat
in business when he tried to become a
packer. He has loaned himself to the
practical destruction of the. insurance
companies, and in other ways demon
strated his unfitness.
Unite Cattlemen With Packers.
"This last move means that the live
stock raisers. Western farmers and pack
ers will unite against him, for his ruina
tion of America's foreign meat' trade will
hurt the farmers as badly as it does the
packers. With this nucleus -will begin
the operation of an irresistible force in
polities which shall defeat all radicals
who play to the galleries at the expense ,
of capital.
'It is certain that, if Roosevelt re
mains the leader of the Republican party,
the big capitalists will be afraid to make
contributions to the campaign fund. If
it becomes necessary to abandon the Re-

Expense) of Americans.
BERLIN, June . 6. (Special.) General
agitation throughout Germany against
American meat- products has .the support
of every influential newspaper in the
Empire. The papers declare that, inas
much as the action of President Roose
velt in placing the Government stamp of
approval upon the charges against Amer
ican packing houses has . proved them
beyond doubt, the time has come when
the Importation of all outside meat pro
ducts should be prohibited.
German packers are making hay while
the sun shines and are flooding the coun
try' with documents, showing that only
native meat products are healthful. In
this propaganda they have the support of
all the newspapers of the country.

differences. In 1904 what is known as
the conservative element of our party
asked that It be allowed to make the
platform and "name - the candidate.
Right liberally did the radical fac

"Now, another campaign Is approach

has been the conservative faction

your candidate and your platform this
