Tosd throus-h thst system as a chara .nn of tne people merely to rain Die ael tUB ends, and that b la now a traitor ti the primary law. Is a bit of enlighten ment thst appear to be reaching erery ikx-Ii and cranny of the county as well as tli Mate. Denunciations of Bourne amonc the worklnc men are to be heard on ever hand and It waa those clsssea In the r.isln that were fooled by Bourne. That llourn la try'nr to place West In the Governor's choir for the purpose of perfecting his Intricate political machine In Orison Is also becoming a generally Tr. -on n Ixixl fact. At a well-attended meeting rn Arleta )( night Mr. Bower man plainly con-rri-tej h:s opponent with the Bourne ma chine and stiownd how Bourne had worked his cunning plan from the first to reru.-e the nomination of West. "It was his cunning band that, through subterranean channels. Induced the can d.dacy of Colonel Hofer and Albert Abra ham, the while he was sppaiing to fs vor tiie candidacy of Judice Dltnli-k," the speaker said. -Ask those renOeiben and tliey sill Jell yos how they were bo tray r.1 and' double-croased. For Bourne, pretrnltnc to be a Ropubllcan. even as he has falsely pretended to be a friend of the people, was all th time working to bring about the nomination of West on the one hand and of m oa the other, expecting thereby to spilt asunder the Rrpubl.ran party. He knew he could roi wi a man of th caliber of Judge Itml.-k. lie knew he could never us me. Went was vouched for by Cham berlain as a servlceabls maa to us as proxy in th Govrrnor'l chair. Stale Loses Through, Xeglec-t. -At this time there are some 100 men who owe thetr political offices to Bourne, who sre out In the field working for I'.mrnf a man West. Thes men are supposed to be Republicans and have al ways claimed to b such. But they are tnum appointees because of their pe c.ilfcr adaptability to Bourne's wishes. W ithin th past ten days thtf hav been j.t.hlic officer working in Multnomah t'ountv for West and at the asm Ome drawing pay from the taxpayers for their supposed service to th state. Tut loos an army of : such men. That Is what the election of West means, f.ir there ax 2000 appointments to b nulla In th . various Institutions of th state. Bourn ha utterly and complete ly failed to make good as a Senator. He ta (lama red Oregon Irreparably. I misht mention on Instance his allow ing f I7.000.oo0 In money due this stale f.-r reclaiming of arid lands to go by default. Th money waa due us from the sale of timber snd prairie lands, but It went by default becauae Bourne was too busy r'avtng golf and poker and Bobnob biac with his srlstocratle friends to look ftt-r the matter. - And later he per mitted the repeal of the section of the lw under which he had a final chance fur the recovery of that money. In f-tv.-t he executed a quitclaim deed to ;.oi" bel on sing to the State of Ore son. Nr la the loas of the money all. for wit Its expenditure on our arid tracts, tuo.on) is population, at th least calcu lation, would have been added to th state and yon know what that means. Shall Bourne's Machine Live? -'. It is not hard to ascrtb a motlv to Bourne's aetlvltle m . building up a maotilne. He must make up by political tri.-kery and chicanery what be larks as a senator. -So now we find Jonathan Bourn th taramount Issue in this campaign. The rursticn is not so much, will you elect rn or West, but will you perpetuata th Bourn machine m Oregon? And, with rrrpart to West, that Is precisely wl-at hi election would mean. -I do not ask you to vot for me sole ly because 1 am tb nomine under the direct primary law nor because I am the Republican candidate. " Mr. Bowerman proceeded. "I submit to you my record. It is upon that reoord aa a cltlsen and as a, legislator that I present myself be fore ou. I only ask of you that you In oulre closely Into my record, judge tn on my merits, and east your vol accord ing to th vrdict yoa reach. overman for People's Laws. -lacking issue, my opponent hav rorted to a campaign of personal abuse. That appear to be their wool platform abuse of ma and they hav drummed up ground: charges that ar aa fals as they ar petty and malldou.

But my district had given him a alight majority and I accepted their decision aa f inaL" "I believe th peopl ar th eouro pf all power and. when they exprwsa by thetr ballot an opinion or wish. It ill becomes a servant of th peopl to seek lo annul th work of th sov ereign people. Their law must stand Inviolate until changed by the people themselves. If elected Gov ernor. I shall veto any measur having as it purpoa th repeal, amendment or alteration of any of the laws of u.r venule. I a ant to Impress you, wlU. that pledge, to place myself fully on record, so that there can never arise any question or misunderstanding. "That is all any Governor can do. It Is not,, within his power to change any of these laws. I wleh to call your attention to the fact that Mr. West has made no such pledge. I urge It upon you that you should secure pledge from tb men you send to the Legislature." ' Kerned for Spotting: Needed. Mr. Bowerman went at length Into his plans for an active business ad ministration, outlined a number of Im provements and reforms in the affairs of state which he regards as necessary and spoke of a number of measures of legislation which he advocates, among them a public service commission, and a law relating to apotters. "I strongly favor a law thst will rem edy the practice now followed by Urge corporations of discharging employes on reports of detectives and spotters. UnVr the present system a man may give the best years of his life to a company, only In his declining years to fall a victim to spotter, who may be mistaken or moveu by malice, it la wrong. These concerns should be compelled to bring accused end accuser face to lace and the charges proved. llourne Organ Contradicts Itself. With reference to th charge of the Bourn machine's press agents that he la the choice of th corporations. Mr. Bowerman went Into th facts in the case, showing that he helped establish the present Railroad Commission, that he voted for the amendment giving the peo ple a chance to decide whether state rail roads msy b built snd at a time when hi vot waa th deciding factor, that he now stronxlr favors establishment of a commission regulating ail corporations dealing In public utilities and that his vot has alwaya been cast in u rjiaio Senat on th people's side. "I defy my detractors to point meir flngnr to one time whan In any of the . votes cast by m In the Legisla ture I have ever betrayed the people." he exclaimed. " Bowerman aida the peo ple In flght for stale railroads' and Bow erman refuse to b mad a tool of by the enemies of Statement No. 1' are the kind of headlines th Bourne organ was art ng about m when I was pres-.dent -of the Senste. They were telling the truth then. But now, forgetful of their own commenilatory utterances, they are car rying out their master's orders and lying about me lying about me becauso they can't tell the truth without aiding my cause, which la the last thing they wish to do.

AUTO DANGLES ON CLIFF A. J. Winters and Family Have Narrow Escape from Accident. To be within thre Inches of plung- inar aver a high embankment In their automobile on the Base Line road east of the tSandy lUver Sunday evening, and yet escape, was the experience of A. J.

Automobiles wer whlxxtng over th county roads Sunday In all directions. and most of them crossed tne fanny bridge, and going up the grade, re turned by way of the Troutdale bridge. Mr. Winters had gone about two-thirds of th distance up the grade that skirts the bluff on th east side of Sandy River, when he met another machine at a narrow place In th road. II turned hla car to tbe outer edge of the road to permit the approaching auto to pass on the Inside. The other ma chine passed, bot the outer wheels of Winters' car settled down In the soft ground at th d-eDf the embankment. tilting It at an angle oi nearly j de gree.

SGHLEGEL JOINS "TAIL OF TICKET" Announced Senatorial Candi date for 1912 Opposes One-Man Rule. DEMOCRATS DESERT WEST Antl-Chamberlaln Faction Growing In Strength and Hope by fnltod Effort to Pull Party From Depths In Oregon. Frank Schlegel. who for eeveral weeks past has been openly announc ing himself as a candidate for the' Ieinocratic nomination for United Stale Senator two years hence, is the latest convert to the sentiments of the anti-Chamberlain faction of bis party, otherwise "the tall of th Democratic ticket. At a meeting held In Lents Inst night he put himself on record as being opposed to non-partisanship and one-man domination, and freely declar ed himself as in favor of the move ment which lias for Its object the up building of the party In Oregon. After the meeting he added the following to the strong statements he made on the platform: "I will be a candidal for the Demo cratic nomination for United States Sena tor In 1912. and I propose to stump this state from one end to th other preach ing th doctrines of straight Democracy. I propose to stand or fall on those doc trines. It matters not if I receive no more than ten votes. I tike th ground that an individual machine is more of a danger than a party organisation and do not believe that any man Is greater than his party. To express it more tersely I am an opponent of political dictator ship. " Elective- Commission Favored. a Versteeg. one of th Democratic legislative candidates, was chosen to make th announcement on behalf of himself and his confreres that. If elected, they will propose and do everything pos sible to have a measur passed putting the Port of Portland Commissioners on an elective basis. This Is tbe first pledge made by candidates from a public platform touching the question which Is Just now occupying the center of the stage of public attention In Portland. M. B. Van uxer. who made the first declaration on behalf of th "tail of th ticket" at 6C Johns a few weeks ago, spoke along tli same line last night. He said in part: "Non-partisanship Is not democracy. It Is political dictatorship. That Is the reason w have-wet the tall to wagging In an effort to put the Democratic party on Ms feet In this state. The best re sults are obtulned when there is a strong minority party. At one time 35 per cent of the voters of Oregon were Democrats. The percentage has now dwindled to less than IS. We must bring our party back to life if we 'expect the reins of Government to remain In the hands of the people and not pass to the hands of a demagogue or a set of dema gogues Political parties sre the great est protection to our republican form of government, and we Intend to keep the tail wagging until the Democratic party again controls the respect of the voters of this state, or In other words till w have about SO per cent of the votes." llourne Aid Not Wanted. Oeorge H. Thomas. Democratic county chairman, and Robert Q McKay also spoke. Mr. Thomas declared that a strong minority party Is necessary to Induce good men who have embraced Democratic principles to enter the realm of public life. McKay again expressed his belief in a Bourne-Chamberlain com bination, which, backed up by a non partisan newspaper. Is he says, seeking to dictate politically to the people of Oregon. "This combination." he said, has the head of a donkey, the tall of an elephant and a newspaper stuffed Inside." At the Theaters MADIHE JCAZTMOVA W "UTTTJS nour."

All mors, a half-wllllng. restless slave to Rita's Imperious temperament, has spent ten years dreaming and vizualzlng about responsibilities. Then one day he leaves her and goes '"up Into the infinite solitude." snd stares at death. He re turns filled with a great yearning toward selfless love. abhorring passion and wrapped In a deep and abiding pity for unfortunate humanity and for his own lit tle son most of all. a lad who has been kept close to his books In the fond hope that som day. despite his infirmity, he would be a monument to parental ego. But the child meets the rat-wife, an uncanny and weird old woman, who goea about the country killing vermin. To the Impressionable boy, she tells the preposterous tale adopted from the Pled Piper of Hamelin. Th child Is fasci nated by her story, his Imagination has long dwelt on her and he follows her down to the sea. and while watching her row away, falls tn and la drowned. Then it Is when only his little crutch remains a mute witness of his hapless lot. that the depth of the vanity and selfishness which had made and gov erned hla life. Is forced home to his horror-atrlcken parents. Like partners In crime they .turn upon each other and "sorrow makes them wicked and hateful." In fine frenzy, they unveil their souls, all the while admitting that their recriminations are but futile attempts to stifle the voice of self reproach. . "Isn't It curious," says Rita, sum ming up th realization that Eyolf had never existed for himself, but only fot tne sake of their vanity and passion, "Isn't It curious, that we should grieve like this over a little stranger boy?" The passion now quenched has "left an empty place within thet." and they feel a need to "fill it up with some thing that Is a little like love." : Rita's mother Instinct now asserts Itself and she "makes her peaca with the great open eyes" of the little stranger boy forever upon her. by tak ing to her neglected children, on whom reckless fhstlnct has forced the gift of existence, children to whom her heart and hand have until now, been closed.

BAD MILK SALE CONTINUES Condemnation Useless, ys Dr. Wheeler, When Dairymen Persist. "There is no use of Inspecting herds of cattle and condemning tubercular cows, if the milk Is to continue being sold In the city," said Mr. Wheeler, city health officer, last night. "We are sending out certificates of condemna tion to all dairymen whose cows have been condemned, and In this way we will slowly, but surely, eliminate the sale of tubercular milk." The veterinarians who Inspected the cattle ordered the dairymen to quaran tine the condemned cows and not send their milk to the city, but officials say It has been ascertained that some are still selling the milk. In some cases a pretense of sterilUIng the milk hag been made. The city health office In tends to warn dairymen to discontinue the practice, says Dr. Whefeler. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND.

Common sense will tell you so. And that is why nearly 80 out of every 100- pianos sold in Oregon come from Eilers Music. House. And that is why the astonishingly low prices are made possible during this Emancipation Sale, as we term it. That is how for $657 we are selling now Pianola Pianos for which $900 was isked heretofore, and which grade and Quality cannot now be obtained else where for less than that price. Wfe are closing out all types of Player Pianos that have some way or other not been able to keep step with the rapid and wonderful progress In modern Player Piano-making. We are In earnest in this closing out sale of all of our Pianola pianos, Apollo pianos. Knabe Angelus Sohmer, Ceclllan. etc, etc, many of them the v?rv latest styles made by these re spective manufacturers, and others more or less used. Pianola pianos. for which we were heretofore compelled to ask $1000 or more, will now go for $770. others for $627. Will take "silent" pianos in part nayment, too. at fair valuations.

We are discontinuing also the repre sentation of the Weber Piano, grands and uprights. Most of the Weber Pianos in our stock are the latest, but we have also five slightly-used ones that were made when Mr. C. B. Lawson was still In charge of the Weber fac tory, and under whom a piano was pro duced which entitled the Weber to a place foremost among the great pianos in the United States. Every catalogue style of the Weber piano, grand or upright, will be found on display, and also some special styles are here for selection. All will be closed out at seventy seven cents on the dollar (for grands) and seventy-three cents on the dollar for uprights. Reduced prices, however, apply only to the present stock on hand. It will therefore pay you to call at once. Why wait any longer? Tour friends and neighbors have investigated this sale, and found they could secure mag nificent instruments at a saving big enough to almost pay for another. Act promptlv. Come today, or be on hand the first thing tomorrow. There are hundreds to select from at our Retail Department. S."3 Washington St., cor ner f J'ark (Eighth) street; the "Al ways JBusj: Cora "
