laws If they were unsatisfactory.
C. El S. Wood then took the platform
and in ah eloquent speech bitterly op
posed the Republican principles which
made possible the accumulation of im
mense fortunes in the hands of Indi
viduals. He spoke against tne tariff, say
ing that all members of the Senate were
pledged to uphold the plutocratic Inter
ests of the country without any benefit to
the masses. He spoke of the Immense
railroad grants, the land and timber acts,
as all a result of Republican administra
tion. He concluded his address with a
personal indorsement of the Democratlo
ticket.

"OLD HICKORY"
EVERLASTING FURNITURE
OUTLOOK ON THE ELECTION
SEARS' MARQTJAM DECISION
THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. JUNE 3, 1006.
((
X- Opinions Differ as to the Probabil
ities In the Carrying of Eleven
Various Amendments That
Are Submitted.
For all practical purposes the political
campaign of 1906 In Oregon has closed,
and all that remains Is the casting; of the
ballots. Tomorrow will be election day,
and at that time the people of Oregon
will elect a full list of state, district and
county officers, and pass upon eleven
measures submitted under the Initiative
and referendum. A view of the situation,
as Impartial as active citizens can take,
shows the outlook for Republican success
better than at the close of any previous
campaign for many years. A complete
Republican victory Is predicted by the
Republican leaders and is practically ad
mitted by some Democrats, who. though
expressing a belief in the election of one
or two of their candidates, show by their
manner that they are pursuing a forlorn
hope.
Lowest Plurality Ten Thousand.
"The lowest man on the ticket will car
ry the state by at least 10,000 plurality."
said Chairman G. A. Wes'gate. of the Re
publican State Central Committee, last
evening. "I expect a larger plurality
than that. 'but feel confident that it will
not be less. This Is a Republican year.
The party has long been rent with fac
tional strife, which the members of the
party have been anxious to eliminate.
They now have the opportunity and they
will do so by electing the ticket from top
to bottom.
"Republicans will not scratch their tick
ets unless they have good reason for do
ing so. We have this year nominated
good, clean, capable men, who stand for
new standards In public life, and the peo
ple will show their approval. The candi
dates were nominated In direct primaries,
by the people themselves, and without the
possibility of dictation from bosses. The
Republicans of Oregon are not going to
knife a ticket like that.
Wlthycombe and Bourne, upon whom
the fight has been centered, will be elect
ed by a plurality of from 10.000 to 15,000.
The other state candidates will have plu
ralities up to 20,000 or 25.000. Tn the first
Congressional District, Hawlcy will be
elected to Congress by an enormous plu
rality, but 1 have not made an estimate
in figures because there has been no con
test. Republicans have had not a word
to offer against either of the Congression
al candidates."
Democrats Are Glum.
At the Democratic headquarters expres
sions of confidence are heard, but the so
ber, cheerless faces of the few men wno
were there told a story that was different
from the spoke worfls. Chairman Aleic
Bweek predicted thfl election of Chamber
lain by aUplurallty of from 6000 to 10,00s,
and the election of Gearin by a similar
vote. .He could give no estimate on Con
gressman, but Secretary Ryan propheFled
that Galloway will win In the. First Dis
trict by 1000. Confidence Is also expressed
In the election of Halley for Supreme
Judge, but the Democratic campaign man
agers would not hazard an estimate In
figures. That there Is no hope for tne
remainder- of the Democratic ticket is ad
mitted" at the Democratic headquarters,
though the fight will go on until the close
of tho polls on election day, and every
Democrat will be urged to vote his party
ticket straight.
In Multnomah County there Is only one
real contest, and that over the Sheriff's
office. The county campaign has not yet
closed, Tor . there will be campaign
speeches for the Democratic nominee,
Tom M. Word, today. Both slde claim
the victory, but the Democrats look upon
it as something to be hoped for, while the
Republicans see certain success ahead.
R. K Stevens is expected to carry the
county Dy a safe plurality.
No Knifing This Year.
There have been many things in this
campaign which have contributed to Re
publican success. The unanimity of feel
Ing among Republicans in favor of put
ting an end to the foolishness of elect
lng Democratic officers tn a Republican
state, has been very pronounced. There
will be no knifing except for cause, and
the cause does not exist. Four years ago,
with an open revolt In the Republican
ranks, with a normal Republican plurality
10,000 less than at present, with a banker
and ex-Democrat at the head of the
ticket, the Republicans lost by a plurality
or only l in tne state, with the fllsad
vantages removed this year, the Republi
cans see no possibility of defeat.
Outcome of Amendments.
What the outcome will be in the voting
upon the several measures submitted to
a vote. Is uncertain in most particulars.
Upon the local option amendment and the
woman suffrage amendment the vote Is
expected to be close, and opinions differ
as to the result. The liquor people be
lieve their amendment to the present local
option law will carry, while the anti-
saloon leaguers are just as confident that
It will not carry. The woman suffrage
leaders are looking forward hope
fully for the returns,, while their adver
earles believe they have the amendment
beaten once more. .
It is generally believed that the Barlow
road measure will be badly defeated.
"What will be done with the appropriation
bill passed by the last legislature is un
certain." for there has been little discus
sion of. it In. such a way as to disclose
public sentiment. The two gross earnings
tax bills proposed by the State Grange
will undoubtedly carry, as also will
number of the amendments proposed by
the People s Power ague.
HOLD OPEX-AIIt MEETING.
Democratic Legislative Candidates
and Others the Speakers.
Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, a
Democratic rally was held last night on
the Plaza block. In the absence of Gov
ernor Chamberlain, Judge Halley, Justice
of the Supreme Court of Oregon, presided
and in a few introductory words opened
the meeting.
The stand where the speakers stood was
totally dark, but the crowd loyally re
mained until the end, fully 600- persons be
ing present.
Mayor Lane was the first " speaker,
dwelling principally upon the Democratic
nominees for Governor, Justice of the Su
preme Court and Sheriff of Multnomah
County. His speech was loudly cheered
and when he mentioned Sheriff Word's
name shouts of "He Is the man" and
"Our next Sheriff" were heard on all
sides.
Democratic candidate for Representative
Hutchlns followed with a short address
and E. J. McAllister delivered an appeal
He Favored the Pioneer Who Has
Lost His Property.
A rumor has been circulated that Cir
cuit Judge Sears was the cause, directly
or indirectly, of P. A. Marquam losing
his interest in the Marquam building. It
Is proper to say that Judge Sears decided
that case In favor of Marquam and
against the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company.
At present the case is pending upon a
motion for rehearing in the Supreme
Court of Oregon. But it la Just to Judge
Bears to say, be his determination right
or wrong, that . he decided as we have
stated, and that if he had been affirmed
in any respect Mr. Marquam would have
been the owner of this magnificent prop
erty, worth today twice the amount of in
cumbrances upon It.
Not a Chamberlain Supporter.
BROOKS. Or., May . (To the Editor.)
I have been quoted as a supporter of
Chamberlain. I am a Republican, and
have raised a Roosevelt family of Repub
lican boys. I have no objection to Mr.
Chamberlain being a Democrat; that is
his privilege as an American citizen; In
fact, as a scion of the Mississippi aris
tocracy, he could not very well be any
thing else. I believe in Republican poli
cies and principles. The observation and
experience of my whole life demonstrate
to my satisfaction that the country Is
safer and more prosperous under Republi
can rule. I shall therefore certainly de
cline to be herded Into the Democratic
corral under the guise of non-partisanship
with a Democrat In the saddle. I have
voted the Republican ticket for 28 years,
and registered as a Republican before the
state primary election. I consider It a
privilege as well as the duty of every Re
publican to support Wlthycombe, whose
record for 35 years In the State of Oregon
has been that of a clean, able and pro
gressive citizen. A. M. ASPINWALL.

MANY STYLES
AND SIZES
GLACIER REFRIGERATORS
The duties of a good Refrigerator are to preserve food and keep things
fresh and cool with the smallest quantity of ice possible. But scientific
tests of Refrigerators have demonstrated the fact that no matter how
much ice is used food cannot be kept free from contamination in a Re
frigerator where the circulation and purification of air is limited. The
"Glacier" Refrigerator i3 built on scientific principles, so constructed
that there is a constant circulation of dry air, of uniform low temperature,
in the food chamber, which continues in one direction, passing out after
coming in contact with the foods, and condensing and purifying itself on
the ice, thus preventing contamination. It requires less ice than any
other Refrigerator, this on account of the-scientific construction of walls,
which consist of eight sections. Many styles and sizes and a 'wide range
of prices $8 up to $40. Sold on the liberal terms of $1 down, $1 per week.
