The speakers will declare that not only la a third consecutive term a violation of the traditions, but a third non-consecutive term wsa exollritly denounced by Jefferson, and thla wise policy was upheld In the case of Grant. Baa) r'altb Not Overlooked. The allesed bad faith of Roosevelt tn turning; upon Taft. for no other known reason than to satisfy his own personal ambition, and his like treat ment of La Pollute, after Inducing the Wisconsin Senator to announce his can didacy and Klvtng htm assurance of his support, offer campaign material that it Is reasonably certain will not be over looked. The speakers will undoubtedly have mu-h to say about President Taft'a constructive work during his three years In the White House. They And the people 1ki little Informed on there subjects. The T.ift Administration has blown Its own trumpet too Uttlt. all agree, and thi-se directing the campaign in the state believe It should. In the main, be a period of education In which the arcompll.hme.its of the President should be presented properly. ,Thev hold that hen the work of the past three years Is shown, the absolute con viction must come to anyone with open mind that It has been a period of con structive, progressive legislation.

"Orejcor. for Orr:on" Is the slogan of William Han ley. the picturesque rep resentative of Central Oregon, who, be cause of his marked facial and physi cal resemblance tn William Jennings Bryan, ha many times been mistaken for the thrice-defeated candidate of the Iemocracy for th Presidency. It 1m for the reanon of "Oregon for Oregon' and because Han ley' view coincide closely with tho of Hen Selling, can didate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, that lianloy feels very friend !y toward the candi dal of tfeiltna;. This meant that Han lev, the orator from Burns, will stive Celling loyal muprmrt.

Seal tie, where he was In consultation with the manastnK officers of several Inde pendent plants In that vicinity. "Portland will be the center of a storm that will be Nation wile in its importance." declared Mr. Hill last nmht. "II Is to be a fluht for Inde pendence. If there be any man In Portland who doubts the isdom 'f competitive telephone service, he should go to Seattle at once and study tlie situation there. It would be well for the Council of this city also to appoint a committer so to do. What this emu try wants Is rcpulated competition. "I blleve t'lal the National Govern ment will take a hand In the mutter and protect th rights of the people aualnst this bllllon-dollar trust, the bitcaest trust now In America. "They have attempted to buy the Seattle Independent telephone plant, and ar now encaged in making the service Just as bad as It is possible to make lu I passed nine minutes trying to tret my own telephone In Seattle, and was told bv the Information de partment that there was no such tele phone, and had to give the matter up.

Drm, for I ailed States Senator. made In the West apainst this groat monopoly. People should hesitate be fore putting tn a telephone, and must decide whether they want to stand with Portland or stand with the trust, and many peoplo believe the trust is all powerful. "Personally, I believe the people are all powerful, and that It Is a mutter only of arousing public sentiment. Ad vertisements are being carried in all the papers here, showing; the nums of the officers and directors of the Home Telephone Company, who aro among the best known people of the City Jr Portland and are known to have the best Interest of the City of Portland at heart, and It Is also shown that the Home Company Is In the fight to stay. No one concern Is bigger than all the people. "If this monopoly should succeed, they would have the right to say what part of the territory tributary to Port land should be served, and what not served. No lines could be built that they did not favor, and no body of In dependent people wishing to build their own line could get connections with Portland. Just think what that would mean. One concern near Seattle was shut off on five minutes' notice from Seattle connections, which has been buying over $30,otiQ worth of goods every year in Scuttle. "There are many such people nar Portland depending on connection with Portland, and who trade in Portland. The success of this monopoly means strangling Portland's growth, unless the Bell monopoly can Te paid exorbi tant prices for any service they choose to render, good, bad or Indifferent," IDAHO MERCHANTS COMING LxrurMon of About 1'S BuMnc; Men to Attend LivcMork Miov.

FEWER LAWS PROPOSED BVRBI R THINKS LEGISLATIVE MIOCI.D ACT OXCE IX DECADE. City Auditor Says Almost Every Bill Contains "Joker'' Despite tiood Intent of Officials. "I believe that if the Legislature should meet once In ten years, and permit the people to pass their laws through the Initiative measure it would bo better for the state and the whole people. We would have less bad laws and the people would get what they want." said City Auditor B.irbur In his address yesterday before Evening Star Grange, which met In the hall on Sec tion Line road. Mr. Barbur spoke on "Civil Service and Commission Form of Government." He hold that noarly every law passed by the Legislature contained some kind of a "Joker" and was the result of compromise. "A man may go to the Legislature with the very bent intention of )olng the right thing for the people." said Mr. Barbur, "but he soon finds that he can get nothing done at all without compromising with others. Tom comes to him and says. 'You support my bill and I'll support yours.' and that is the way all the way throuah. I doubt if a measure Is passed by the Legisla ture that does not contain something that it should not have, that has not been put In It by some Interested one or corporation. If tlio Legislature should meet once In ten years and pass only such lavs as are needed we could get along all right. The people could pass such laws as they might want In the meantime." Mrs. E. A. Niblen read a paper on "Does the Entrance of Women in the Kmployments and Business Weaken the Home?" She contended that women are better off by entering business of all kinds and that tho home is also better off. "Often a home, which would have gone to pieces, is kept up." said Mrs. Niblen. "If the dnughter Is able to go Into business and gets a business em ployment. In my Judgment the pres ent conditions are better for the home and there Is no danger that the popu lation will die out." LAW TO BE LET ALONE REPI BI.ICAX TEXTUAL COMMIT TEE GIVES VP TEST. Presidential Preference Statute Will Be Left to People for Altera tion if They Desire. If a test Is made In the courts aa to the constitutionality of that feaure of the Presidential preference law which allows the Individual elector to vote tor only one delegate to his party's Na tional convention and one Presidential elector when ten delegates and five electors ere to be chosen, it wi'l be conducted by individuals and not by the Republican State Central Committee. At a recent meeting of this organi sation, authority was given for Institut ing the suit to test this law. but the project haa been abandoned by the com mittee for the reason that It did not desire to appear to be encouraging any movement designed to attack In any way the validity of any of the statutes enacted by the people. It Is considered doubtful that any ef fort will be made to seek from the courts of the state an Interpretation of this statute. Any proceeding along that line must be initiated by the friends of the measore. It will not receive the sanction of the Republican state or ganization. If the law Is found to be faulty, voters generally agree that any defects in It must be corrected by the people themselves, who adopted it by a decisive vote, through an Initiative measure.

Richard Diech Rep.). for Precinct TO YOU, MR. VOTER The office of Sheriff is. perhaps, the most important In the city. It demands a man of great executive ability. Nowadays the Sheriff is not a gunfighter, nor is it necessary for him to flaunt a great star everywhere. The Sheriff, though, must be a business man. He collects the taxes. He must know just what business Is. He must be a man In whom you can have the utmost con fidence. Next, he must know the duties of the office, how it is conducted, and understand how to have the work done economically, yet properly. Before he can know the duties of Sheriff, it Is nccessary that he spend years In the work of acquainting himself with the office. Of the many men running for Sheriff, there is but one who can point with pride to eight years as Chief Deputy. There is but one you know knows the duties of Sheriff from A to Z. Not many men care to spend their time "learning how." The man for any office must be the man who knows the work and who has spent time learning it. That Is why V. B. Holllngsworth is the only real, as well as the only logical candidate for Sheriff. "Holly" has been eight years learning how. He is the one man In whom you feel you can have confidence. Half the lawyers In Portland have indorsed Hollings worth by personal letter. He is Republican candidate. Isn't be the man you want In the office of Sheriff? (Paid Advertisement.)

Precinct 103 I believe the office of precinct committeeman to be an important office from a party standpoint. eFpeclally this year on ac count of the long interval between the April primary election and the Novem ber election, . nearly seven months. During this long interval numerous things may happen to cause vacancies among the party nominees. Under the primary law it will be the duty of the state.
