Prohibition Candidate Says
His Party Is Only One Dar
ing to Take Stand.
SIX-YEAR TERM FAVORED
Notification Committee Told if Ten
Million Consumers Will Become
Producers, Cost of I-iving
Will Be Solved.
WAUKESHA. Wis, Aug. 10. This
w-as a g-ala day for the many Prohibi
tionists assemblad for the formal no
tifying of Eugene W. Chafln. of Tuc
son. Arii.. of his nomination as Pro
' hlbltion candidate for President of the
United States.
Dr. C. H. Mead, permanent chair
man of the National Prohibition con
vention, in notifying Chafln, said:
"During the past few months, as a
Nation we have been humiliated, and
our people, regardless of political af
filiations, have hung their heads with
I shame as they beheld the President of
these United States, and the only liv
ing ex-President, out on the stump
calling each other liars, and covering
each other with political mud.
Taft and T. R. Called 1'nflt.
If what these two men have said
about each other is true, neither is lit to
be President; if what they said was not
true. then, neither should enter the
White House again. These men had
been bosom friends and of the same
political household, so it is fair to
suppose they were telling the truth,
while decent citizens were indignant
over the public washing of soiled po
litical linen."
Chafin. replying, said In part:
"Amend the Constitution, making the
Presidential term six years and one
term only.
"Destroy the liquor traffic let 10.
000,000 of consumers become producers
and the problem of the high cost of
living is solved.
" 'The complete suppression of the
traffic in girls' is the language of our
, platform. We are the only political
party this year, or any other year,
which has dared to make such a decla
. ration. Why? Because it is a part of
the liquor traffic system.
Law Violated In Capitol.
"Neither the present nor for
mer President has in the . . past
10 years dared to enforce the law
of Congress in the District of Columbia
against this awful crime, though it has
been carried on almost in sight of the
White House, the Capitol and in the
shadow of the Washington monument.
Neither dares today to announce to the
American people that If again entrust
ed with the office of President, he will
enforce this law. notwithstanding the
President takes an oath of office and
the Constitution says he shall take
care that the laws be faithfully exe
cuted.' It says nothing about making the
. lw a dead letter in order to get the
liquor vote. And one of these gentle
men pretends to be a progressive and a
reformer!
"It is often asked: How will you
run the Government when the rum rev
enue is abolished? Our platform
answers the question in the following
plank: 'Equitable graduated Income and
inheritance taxes.' "
RAINIER GIRL IS RUNAWAY

here that Germany will not respond to

Provision Are Aimed to Protect
Growers From Importation of
Foreign Pests.
WASHINGTON. Auk. 10. (Special.)
The Simmons fruit quarantine bill, of
great value to every fruitgrower and
horticulturist on the Pacific Coast,
passed th House today. The bill has
been demanded by Coast fruitgrowers
for a long time. It provides a rigid
Federal quarantine in the United States
mrnlnst fruit, seeds, bulbs and nursery
stock from other countries which may
be infected with insect pests of any
kind.
The bill orlmarily was drawn to pro
tect fruitgrowers against the Mediter
ranean fly and the Malolos orange
worm, the latter coming across the
Mexican border and having created
havoc in Southern California. Hereto
fore the California state horticulturists
had to fight these pests unassisted.
The bill aDDroprlates $25,000 for the
first year, and becomes effective Octo-
hr l. After the first year the agri
cultural appropriation bill will carry
an annual appropriation to enforce tne
nimrantine. Representatives from th
Coast have urged this bill before the
agricultural committee several times.
it" Is due to their efforts that the
measure was favorably reported and
has passed the House. .
This bill will soon pass the Senate,
where it is "unopposed.

VARIOUS CAUSES CONTRIBUTE

considered.
For several weeks Senator Bourne
withheld his indorsement, but later ad
dressed an offensive letter to the Presi
dent in which he censured the Execu
tive for the manner in which he was
distributing Federal patronage. In the
same communication, Senator Bourne
withdrew his objections to the con
firmation of Mr. Scott and recommend
ed ratification of the appointment by
the Senate.
Soon after receiving this letter from
Senator Bourne, the President request
ed the Senate to withhold- confirma
tion of Mr. Scott's appointment. This
was the status of the case until yes
terday, when the President recalled
the nomination from the Senate. Al
though not active in politics in the
primary campaign last Spring, Mr.
Scott supported the President for re
nontlnation. Senator Bourne's reasons for revers
ing himself as to the appointment of
Mr. Scott and the reason of the Presi

not known in Portland. The fact that

lleved to be one of the reasons for
President Taft's action. Another con
tributing incident, it is said, was the
course of Senator Bourne In withdraw
ing opposition to the confirmation of
Mr. Scott after he had tor some time
withheld his indorsement of the nomi
nation. The President's friends are
said to have concluded therefrom that
Mr. Scott perhaps had been friendly to
wards Senator Bourne, President Taft's
bitter political enemy.

on the subject of his resignation, said
today:
"I have wired to President Taft my

willingly and gladly, and can now give

"Mv experience is that a man who
eschews bosses and machine politicians
and attends to his duty w(th only a
sincere and proud desire to ser-e the

expects to do his life work cannot meet,
empty-handed, the scheming politicians
who dictate Fe4eral patronage.
"The Oregon system has gone far In
abolishing bosses In our state, and I
look forward to the time when this

lair of Federal patronage.
"Performance of the duties of Mar
