THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1906. 5? RIOT IS BETTER TICKET IN KANSAS THE DIFFERENT STORE OLDS, WOR TMAN & KING Fifth, Sixth and Wash ington Streets The Day" -After-' We Celebrate' With a Carnival of Tempting Bargains HERE'S PORTLAND'S GREAT SUPPLY DEPOT FOR SUMMER VACATIONISTS! Populists of That State Name Horace Keefer for Governor. Bourke Cockran Scores Swind ling Financiers, Who, He Says, Need Regulation. DEBATE IS VERY BITTER for statehood, Tammany raised her voice in favor and we came in. Today Texas has more than 3,000,000 and most of them are Democrats. "The tariff and the trusts must be the great overshadowing issues of the next campaign, and If you are true to your trust we will see a Democratic adminis tration in power. When we meet Tam many at the next National convention, Texas will be there holding up the banner of the greatest Democrat who has lived since Jefferson William J. Bryan. "And then Texas will Insist that as his running mate the convention take your own Congressman. Charles A Towne. Such a ticket will sweep the country. Your most representative citizen and brilliant Jurist, Alton B. Parker, shall be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court." DAY CELEBRATED IX LONDON ROTTENNESS SPEECH BEFORE TAMMANY Community Is Shocked, He Says, at Miscarriage of Justice, Where Rascals Are Allowed to Go VJirwhipped of the Law. NKW YORK. July 4. The annual celebration of the Society of Tammany, or the Columbian Order, took place to day in honor of the lMh anniversary of American Independence. The exer cises, which were held In Tammany Hall, were attended by prominent men from many parts of the country. One of the principal addresses of the day wai delivered by Congressman John A. Sullivan, who spoke of what he re garded as the evils which had grown out of the protective tariff. He said. In part : "A few days ago the Republican ma jority In both branches of Congress forced upon the country a law compelling the canal commission to purchase Its sup plies from American manufacturers when ever the prices of the latter were not unreasonable or extortionate. "Within a week after the time that law received the President's signature, the Maryland Steel Company was awarded a contract for two dredges at $362,000 each. The for eign concern offered to build them for 170,000 less, over 10 per cent. At that rate. In $10,000,000 worth of supplies which would be purchased next year, American trusts will overcharge us $1,000,000, which, according to the majority In Congress, will not be extortionate or unreasonable. The sales of American manufactures to tHe people of the United States next year will surely be $16,000,000,000 and will there fore, at the same rate, represent $1,000,000, 000. Iniquity of Tariff System. "Not only has the tariff system de stroyed equality of taxation, closed the door of Industrial opportunity and prac ticed extortion upon our people, but it has also been and must continue to be the rotten center of an ever widening cen ter of corruption. The Chicago packers paid into the Republican campaign treas ury the price pf the duty on hides and felt safe in poisoning communities; the Insurance companies of this State made contributions, with, which they purchased peace at Albany; the Pennsylvania pur chased Immunity for years from the law forbidding the railroads to engage In the business of mining coal, and the ship subsidy gam will pay Its money to help elect a Republican Congress, which will pass a ship subsidy bill." The address of welcome was deliv ered by Grand Sachem W. Bourke Cockran. Thomas C. T. Crain read the Declaration of Independence, and brief addresses were delivered by represen tative delegates from various sections of the country. Need of the Democracy. In his address of welcome, Mr. Cock ran said: "We hear that the Democracy is no longer needful In this country. We are told that Government must now Interfere in all matters. It Is a pro posal that Socialism is to be substi tuted for Democracy. In the Insur ance frauds we find the rascals hold ing a stronger grip on their ill-gotten gains. Moreover, when a larceny of $50,000 Is admitted, we find the offi cers of the law not pursuing, but pro tecting, and the whole country stands aghast at the spectacle." Mr. Cockran declared that the cam paign contributions by the New York Life Company, which were admitted by George W. Perkins, had served to merely strengthen the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., of which Mr. Perkins Is a member, and he declnred that the action of the appellate division of the Supreme Court In declaring that these contributions were not criminal had shocked the community. Continuing on the subject of campaign contributions, Cockran said: Robbery of Insurance Funds. "A firm notorious for Its capacity in promoting swindling operations contrib utes $50,000 to the Republican campaign fund, to give the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. weight and consequence with Repub lican managers when it comes to legisla tion, to secure favors for the Steel Trust, and when the election Is over those $50,000 are taken out of the funds of an Insurance company by an officer charged with the custody of them for the benefit of helpless people. Incapable of protecting themselves. Instead of being indicted like any other offender and allowed to offer any that he could furnish, he Is asked by the District Attorney to furnish his own explanation, not upon the facts revealed by investiga tion, but upon his own explanation, which Is the defense of his crime. "A farcical process Is Instituted by a prosecuting officer who declares that no ground exists for prosecution. Then three Judges overrule him. That process Is car ried before five Judges sitting in solemn session, who tolerate the spectacle of a man appearing before them to argue a proposition which he has already de nounced, i he fact that we find here a District Attorney shielding a man whom he has sworn to prosecute is a spectacle shocking to civilization. "We have seen out In Omaha a man who had perpetrated against a child a crime which every principle and Instinct of Christianized manhood considers most heinous. When arraigned before a Jury upon evidence which he did not deny. In cluding his own oonfession. he was ac quitted, for no other reason than that the man against whose family the offense had been committed was himself a habitual violator of the law. Parody on Justice. , "The Jury declined to convict Pat Crowe for one offense committed against Oudahy, who himself was committing numerous offenses every hour and every day of his life. I do not say this Is Justice. It is a parody on Justice, or rather it Is a paraly sis of Justice; but the paralysis Is the re sult of corruption at the heart." "The swindling financiers need regula tion. If the choice should be between riot and rottenness, then I say riot Is the leaser evil." Congressman Robert L. Henry, of Texas, who delivered one of the "long talks" of the celebration, nominated William J. Bryan and Congressman Charles A. Towne, of New York, as President and Vice-President, respec tively, on the next Democratic ticket. The audience yelled approval, applaud ing with hands, feet and voices. Texas Will Be There for Bryan. "If I 3hould remove my residence from Texas to New York," said Mr. Henry, "the first act of mine would be to become a member of Tammany. When Texas was knocking at the door Mrs. Longworth Assists Mrs. Reld in Receiving Guests. LONDON, July 4.

TOPEKA, Kan., July 4. After an ex tended wrangle of speechmaklng, in which more or less bitter feeling was dis played, the Populist state party delegates voted late this afternoon to place a party ticket in the field. Practically every dele gate present expressed his opinion. The vote stood 1M to 68. After naming a portion of the Con gressional committee, the Populist State Convention proceeded to the nomination of a state ticket. Horace Keefer, of Leavenworth, was named for Governor by acclamation. J. A. Wright, of Smith County, was named for Lieutenant-Governor. The convention then took a re cess. Mr. Keefer came to Kansas from Pennsylvania and located in Kansas City as an iron broker. As he explained It, the iarger corporations froze him out, and he went to Leavenworth. When the Populist State Convention was called to order here today, the prin cipal fight in sight was that as to whether or not the party should name a full state ticket. At a caucus of the lead ers last night that lasted until past mid night it was decided at least to recom mend that the convention take no favor able action on any other ticket as a whole. When State Chairman W. J. Babb called the convention to order there were less than 100 delegates present. George W. Hanna was elected chairman. "Within two years we will have more long-haired Populists in New York than we ever had in Kansas,"- he said In his address. Horace Keefer, ex-Senator from Leav enworth. declared that the early work of the Populists was now bearing fruit. and the old parties have taken up the doctrines of Tom Watson and other Pop- ulistic leaders.

More than 20,000 persons, gathered at Natatoriuni Park to quietly celebrate the Fourth, were driven to the far confines of the park "by a Are this afternoon that for Intensity and spectacular effects rivaled any feature of the day In the Inland Empire. Directly after the last ball game of the City League, while the players were still in their dressing-rooms, flames burst out in the center of the stand. The management of the park had stored the fireworks intended for the evening celebration under the stand and when the blaze reached them there was a dis play of daylight pyrotechnics that startled the huge crowd outside. All the spectators had left the Inclosure, but William P. Connor, president of the league, was still in the press box. With a clear path, so far as the crowd was concerned, before him, it was with diffi culty that Connor, running at top speed, got out of the path of the flames. As he ran he shouted to the players underneath to warn them of their danger and they, also, were compelled to drop everything and fly for their lives. Half a dozen of them lost all their street cloth ing, and as many were painfully burned before they could get into the open. The stand and fence were owned by the Spokane Athletic Club. Its loss is about $6000. The fireworks were valued at $1000. BODY FOUND IN A SHARK College Student Disappeared While Swimming. NEW ORLEANS, July 4. (Special.)
