TOE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1914. 7 BOOTH OFF ON TOUR OF CROOK COUNTY Candidate Starts Last Long Trip of Campaign to Talk Personally to Voters. EVERY SECTION IS VISITED Forests, Lakes and Valleys or Ore gon Traversed Since Fight lor Party Victory Opened Other Dates to Be Filled. On what will be his last long trip of the campaign, Robert A. Booth, Re publican nominee for the United States Senate, left last night for Madras and Bend, from whence he will conduct a two days' tour of Crook County. He will be met by the Crook County com mittee at Madras this morning. Mr. Booth's itinerary after reaching ' Bend is in the hands of the local com mittee, but he is eager to visit as many towns and settlements as his limited time will permit. He proposes to speak at Redmond, Madras, Prine ville and other important places and will try to meet scores of farmers and members of their families personally. When he reaches Crook County Mr. Booth will have been in every county in Oregon since the campaign began. He has penetrated the prairies and valleys of Lake County, has traversed the forests and lake regions of Klam ath County, has cro'ssed the mountains and rode over the plains of Grant, Har ney and Malheur counties and has traveled repeatedly up and down the valleys of Western Oregon and fol lowed the meandering Columbia and Its tributaries along the northern dis tricts of the state, earlier in the year he traveled by steamer out into the ocean and down along the coast into Coos and Curry counties. He has been in every one of the 34 counties and in numerous towns and villages be sides. Mr. Booth probably will be back in Portland Friday morning. He is sched uled to hold a meeting at the old Hei lig Theater Friday night and if Gov ernor West agrees to meet him there will engage in a Joint debate with the Governor on the question of Mr. Booth's acquisition of his wealth. His next important engagement is before the Transportation Club at the Multnomah Hotel next Monday, but this will not be a political address. On ac count of his long connection' with the timber industry, Mr. Booth has many friends among the railroad and steam ship men and they have many inter ests in common. This meeting, there fore, will be one of old friends, as it were. On Monday night he will go to Ore gon City and the following day will make an address at the Trainmen's din ner in Portland. He will leave the latter part of next week for Southern Oregon to keep sev eral engagements made there earlier in the campaign. It is probable that his final meeting will be in Astoria on the night of No vember 2, on the eve of the election. Dr. James Withycombe, Republican nominee for Governor, was In Portland all day yesterday and met several hun dred voters in the residence districts. He will devote most of the remaining days of the campaign to Multnomah County. Dr. Withycombe will be in Gladstone and Oregon City today. Thomas M. Kurlburt, Republican nominee for Sheriff, is continuing his quiet campaign work in various parts of the county and is meeting with en thusiastic support from all classes of voters. Hundreds of Democrats are coming to his support. The Hurlburt campaign committee likewise is conducting an active can vass of the county, with renewed and increased assurances of his success. C. N. McArthur, Republican nominee lor Representative in Congress, spoke in the downtown districts last night from an automobile. He presented a clear, concise state ment of his attitude on the various Issues of the campaign and reiterated his previous declarations that he be lieves firmly in the principles of the Republican party and that he is mak ing his campaign as a Republican. The present industrial, commercial and general depression, he said, is due to the competition forced upon Ameri can farmers and American manufac turers by the importation of products from foreign countries. Such importa tions, he pointed out, are made possi ble only by the present Democratic tariff, which has reduced the duty on many commodities produced on the farm, particularly those ' produced on the farms of the Northwest. Mr. McArthur reviewed his own rec ord as a member of the legislature and showed by reports from the jour nal of the house, of which he was a member, that he did not support the measures favorable to the interests and inimical to "the protection of the home and decency," as has been charged recently by Governor West. He was given an enthusiastic recep tion, an attentive hearing and a cordial tribute of appreciation wherever he ap peared. There will bo an East Side Hanley rally tonight at library, corner East 11th and Kast Alder streets. A num bcr of speakers are scheduled for brief speeches, among them Ken ttiesiand, j. A. Johnson. Miss Helen c nson. Airs. William Millar and Anne Shannon Hon. Toe. Miss Kdith Clark Patterson and Miss Nina Joy will sing. Campaign gongs will add to the liveliness of the occasion. Democratic women who are support ing Senator Chamberlain will hold a rally in the main room of the Public library this evening. Colonel I. N. fcUandifer. formerly of Texas, but now a resident of Portland, will speak for the Senator. Others speakers will be A. F. Flegel. Democratic nominee for Representative in Congress, and other prominent Democrats. Music will be furnished. A number of speakers will discuss several Initiative measures now pend ing before the voters at a mass meet ing of Scandinavian voters in the hall at 227 Yamhill street at 8 o'clock to night.

Governor West will hold two meet ings in Portland tomorrow. The first will be at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in Grebel's hall. Montavilla. and the sec ond in the City Hall at St. Johns at night. A poll of Cu of the principal office buildings in Portland recently con ducted by a committee of Democrats showed 40 votes for Withycombe and 10 votes for Dr. Smith. T. HL Cooper. Rpniihlln mitteeman in Benton County was in Portland yesterday and reported that, so far as Benton is concerned, the elec tion might as well be held tomorrow. The only possible change that can be effected in the next few weeks, he says, is to increase the size of the Republican majority. Because Benton County is Dr. Withycombe's home, the Republican gubernatorial nominee will get almost the unanimous vote of his neighbors, says Mr. Cooper. On ac count of the disposition of the -people to 'Vote the ticket straight." he pre dicts that the entire list of Republican candidates is sure to get a heavy vote there. Senator Chamberlain spoke yesterday in Silverton, Mount Angel, Woodburn and Salem. He will be in Ashland this afternoon and in Medford tonight. William Hanley Progressive Sena torial nominee, will devote the remain ing two weeks of the campaign to work in and around Portland. He will try to meet as many voters personally as is possible, and may make a few speeches in various parts of the county. Besides that, he may take short one day trips to other counties in Western Oregon. What promises to be one of the spectacular events of the campaign will be the Republican rally at Pen insula Station in the northeastern part of the city on the evening of Friday, October 30. Brass band music and fireworks will form some of the attractive parts of the programme. It is expected that all the leading candidates on the Republican ticket will be in attendance. Most of them will speak. This will be one of the last big meetings of the campaign. Arrangements are in charge of the Republican County Committee. Milton A. Miller. Collector of Internal Revenue, left last night for Marshfield, wnere he will deliver a series of cam paign speeches in the interests of the Democratic candidates. He will visit North Bend, Myrtle Point, Bandon and otner towns in the Coos Bay district. He will be away until the end of the week. A. W. Lafferty, independent candi date for Congress, continued his cam paign work last night, making eight speeches on the East Side. He trav eled in an auto truck and carried a brass band with him to attract the crowds. Mr. Lafferty is attacking A. F. Flegel, his Democratic opponent. and the record of the Democratic Administration in Congress. A Democratic rally was held last night in the Glencoe School, East Forty-ninth and Belmont streets. Among the speakers-were Colonel Rob ert A. Miller, Mrs. Agnes McNaughton, Mrs. Nellie C. Hughes and John B. Moon. C. E. S.

Included in the party are several men and women of Nation-wide importance. Interest in the meetings is great, and several special car parties are scheduled to come to Portland from Newberg, McMinnville and other nearby points. William Hanley, Progressive candi date for the Senatorshlp, spoke before the tax and revenue department or the Oregon Civic League at the Hazelwood restaurant at noon yesterday. He out lined his plans for the development of the state through the release, for the benefit of the public, of the natural re sources within the state. "It is right for Oregon to get all its natural wealth," he said. "Now the natural resources belong to all the peo ple and they are under Federal control. "When the Government decided on its conservation policies it found all that there was to conserve here in the West. They say that these resources are for all the people, but nearly all the people are in the East and the resources are in the West." I He advocated that the proceeds from the sale of Oregon timber, and other natural resources should be used for development of industries by the state. River and harbor development, being a work of international relationship, he declared it should be conducted by the National Government. Mr. Hanley will speak tonight in room A of the Publi6 Library. Democratic speakers were greeted by a small audience of South Portland voters at Failing School last night. A. F. Flegel, Democratic candidate for Congress, outlined his views of the duties of a Representative, praised the qualities of the leading Democratic candidates for the various offices and said that a vote for them would be an expression of confidence in the present Administration. He said that if elected he would put forth special efforts to gain the recog nition of Congress to the importance of the proper use and conservation of the state's natural resources. Sheriff Tom Word, candidate for re-election, spoke in his own behalf. Harold War ner, a law student and formerly of Pendleton, made a plea in behalf of Dr. C. J. Smith, candidate for Governor. A. S. Miller, of Wedderburn. report ing to the State Committee, says: "There is every prospect that Curry County will be favorable for the whole Republican ticket. Mr. Booth and Dr. Withycombe will both receive nice majorities. In my precinct nearly all the Republicans will vote a straight ticket and some of the Democrats will vote the entire Republican ticket. I think this election will be a great Republican victory, for the people are surely getting tired of Democratic mis rule in Nation and state." J. D. Hamlin, of Eugene, writing to the Republican State Central Com mittee, says that he thinks the Re publicans in his precinct intend to stick pretty close to the party ticket, judging from the way they talk. "I be lieve the Republican candidates for Governor, Senator and Representative in Congress will get a nice majority in this county," said Mr. Hamlin. S. A. D. Meek, of Northern Wash ington County, was a visitor at Repub lican state headquarters recently, and reports that a great many Democrats in his neighborhood are going to vote against senator cnamDerlain this year on account of his vote against Oregon industries In the Underwood bill. He says that politics are quiet in his sec tion, but it looks good for a straight Republican victory. Frederick Hollister. of Coos County. . who is a candidate for Representative in Congress in the First District, was in Yamhill County Saturday. He says that he favors abolishing all liquor taxes, making it a free commodity, and argues that in that manner the eils attending the traffic in liquor would be eliminated. Professor W. T. Shaw, of Wash ington State College, at Pullman, has been in Portland for the last few days calling on his friend Dr. Withycombe. Republican candidate for Governor. He says he is sorry that he does not live in Oregon, so that he could vote for mi mend. ' BOOTH EXPOUNDS POLICY TO WOMEN Wage Is Gauge of Our Pros perity and Growth, Says -Candidate in Speech. COLUMBIA WORK FAVORED Republican Nominee in Address at Public Library Discusses Issues of Campaign, Pleading- Espe cially for Settlers. "The measure of our growth and the measure of our prosperity is the wage paid the laboring man," declared Rob ert A. Booth, Republican nominee for United. States Senator, before members of the Women's Political Science Club at the Public Library yesterday afternoon. Mr. Booth discussed economic affairs in general, laying stress on those now prominent in the mind of the people, but did not advance the interests of his own candidacy. Following his remarks, however, a number of women, in evident good faith, asked him numerous questions regarding his probable attitude, if he is elected, on various measures that may come up in Congress. Colombia Work Favored, One questioner sought to learn his attitude on proposed Columbia River improvements. Mr. Booth declared that the natural resources of the state should be developed simultaneously with the river and pointed out that with the interior development the com merce of the Columbia and its tributa ries will necessitate its improvement. He spoke strongly for Columbia im provement, declaring that the past ap propriations for development of the Co. lumbia and other Oregon rivers and harbors are a mere pittance compared to what they should have been. As development of all Oregon is dependent largely upon development of the Co lumbia River, he explained, he is Just as much interested in its improvement as are those who live upon its banks. He explained his attitude -on the for estry question and on irrigation by say ing he is firmly committed to the policy of conservation, but took the stand that "conservation means use." He said that the Government should encourage the use of the National forests in a way that will give employment to the larg est number of men. v Irrigation Is Dlncuased On the subject of Irrigation he de clared that lower rates of interest and longer deferred payments are required to make the irrigated land projects attractive to the farmers. If the United States can borrow money to dig the Panama Canal for 2 per cent and 3 per cent, it should lend money to its farm ers at similarly low rates. Previous to Mr. Booth's arrival in the hall Levi VV. Myers engaged in a lengthy review of assertions made re cently . by one B. J. Jones, of Rose burg, in which it was alleged that Mr. Booth, as a member of the Legis lature, had changed his vote on the so-called "car shortage" bill on prom ise from the railroads of improved serv ice for his lumber mills. "It is false, absolutely false," de clared Mr. Booth when Mr. Myers was asked to repeat Jones assertion. Mr. Booth explained that full reply to the Jones charges had previously been made by A. C. Dixon, manager of the Booth Kelly Lumber Company, who was thor oughly familiar with the facts in the case. Women's Judgment Praised. Mr. Booth opened his brief address with an appeal to the women to use the ballot for the improvement of gov- DANDRUFF SOON RUINS THE HAIR Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry, Brittle and Thin.

He pointed out that the wo men of the nation can make themselves powerful force for improvement of civic and political conditions and paid them the tribute of expressing his firm belief In the theory that womankind has a far more lofty Ideal and a much higher standard of moral and social righteousness than their male brothers. He invited the women to take a more active interest in politics and advised them not to let politics be spoken of derisively. He declared that politics can be made an honorable profession and declared that, with the help of the women's votes, it will be. So far as partisan politics Is con cerned, he declared that the principal ssue upon which the Republican and Democratic parties differ is the tariff and asserted that the tariff should be subject to the regulation of a non-par tisan board the same as the transpor tation and the financial affairs are. Xon-Partlau Board WaMted. "If elected I shall strive for the crea tion of such a non-partisan board," he promised. He continued by presenting the fact that the West, especially the Pacific Coast country, is woefully underde veloped. If this part of "the country can be opened for development, he added, it can be made to support a pop ulation equal to that of all the United States at the present time, and then have only one-sixth the number of peo ple in a given area as In Denmark and other parts of Europe. "The best thing for this government to do," he asserted, "is to devote it self to the development of the Pacific Coast. - "Every convenience should be fur nished settlers In these Western re gions parcels post, good roads aid other facilities that will make life on the farm more pleasant. The Govern ment must help to make it easier for the people. "There are millions of acres In Ore gon that should be developed. It should be made possible to develop the now unproductive valleys of Oregon into garden spots." In further reference to the forest areas he said that the proceeds from the pale of timber should be devoted to the states In which the timber Is grown. Millions of feet of lumber now are going to waste, he explained, be cause the Federal forestry service does not permit its use. "Yet." he continued, "the people who attempt to engage in such development are hounded by the National and state officials. "The Government must see that the producer has the best advantage. It is up to" the Government to protect the people It places on the farms." He then discussed briefly the tariff problems and declared that "the one distinguishing thing in the United States is the difference in the wage paid Its laboring man. "The measure of our growth and the measure of our prosperity is the wage of the laboring man." he spid. "And who is interested in the laboring man? He eats more bread than anyone, so the farmer is interested. He wears more clothing than anyone else, so the manu facturer is interested; he eats more meat so the stock-grower is interested. "And it is my belief that the pro tective system of tariff must be con tinued If the American workingman is to continue the enjoyment of the wage that has been his lot in the past." The only other speaker at the meet ing was George C. Mason, manager of the Non-Partisan League, who discussed the several tax measures on the ballot. He approved the measures proposed by the state commission providing for a classification of property for taxing purposes and opposed the J1500 exemp tion bill. WATER CODE IS UPHELD Federal Decision Denies Company Injunction and Ends Dispute. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) The constitutionality of the Oregon Water Code has been upheld by the Federal District Court, in a decision by Judge Bean. The Pacific Livestock Company filed an application for an injunction against the State Water Board, to restrain further proceedings in connetcion with the determination of Silvers River water rights, basing its request on three points, first, that the matter had been removed from the state to the Federal tribunal; second, that suits in. volving the same subject matter were already pending before the Federal Court, and third, that the water code was contrary to the Federal Constitu tion. The court decided In favor of the Water Board on all three points, and denied the injunction. Piledriver Meets Death in Lake. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Oct. 20. (Spe cial.)
