I have waited with the hope that Borne of the numerous gentlemen who are candidates for Governor In the Republican primaries and other wise. In announcing their candidacy, would make some declaration as to how they stood on the National problem of the Bale and manufacture of intoxi cating liquor in the tinited States. I have also hoped that there would have been some expression as to how these gentlemen stood, -or would stand on the question of an amendment to the constitution of the State of Oregon abolishing the sale and manufacture of all lntoxfcatlng liquor within this state, except for scientific, medicinal and mechanical purposes. None of these gentlemen has seen fit to make any declaration or commit himself on this great issue, which I think and be lieve to be the most important for the welfare of the people. Reluctantly, after due consideration, I have concluded to become a candidate for Governor upon this Issue as the principal one of my candidacy. I take this position, that the intelligent .opin ion of all fair-minded men and women Is unquestionably that the liquor traffic, as now in use and force, is a menace to civilization, and is the result largely, of crime, poverty, degeneracy and moral decay, to such an extent as to become a startling danger to the human race. . . I stand on this proposition, as Lincoln stood upon the proposition of slavery. He was willing to Have the Union with slavery, or he was willing to save the Union without slavery. His object and purpose was to save the Union. My object and purpose is to arouse public opinion and the con science of the people of this state, where they will be willing to stand shoulder to shoulder, irrespctive of po litical party or affiliations and unite for the purpose of putting the saloon business out of business, and destroy its influence in our economic, social and political life. I, therefore, am In favor of destroying the saloons with compensation, if the people approve, and if they do not approve, then 'I stand openly and above board, uncon ditionally, in favor of the adoption of a National and state amendment to the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Oregon, to prohibit the sale and manufacture of all intoxicat ing liquor within the United States and within the State of Oregon, except for scientific, medicinal and mechanical purposes. Woman Suffrage Favored. I, also, favor National suffrage to the women of the United States. I am opposed to any and all Asiatics, such as Hindus, being permitted to come into this country and into this state and competing in the logging camps and other avenues of work and labor with the laboring men now here. I Btand with all good citizens In this state in favor of upholding and main taining our school system In a fair and liberal way, and in the construc tion of roads and highways to meet the demand and requirement of our farming, producing, commercial and business classes of the people of this state, with this qualification, that I feel that whatever plans are adopted in the construction of roads in this state and whatever methods are used In the spending of the people's 'money for such construction, that the interest of the farming class of the people of this state should be very carefully safe guarded and their wishes as Indicated through the Society of Equity and the Development Leagues and the Farm ers' Grange, should be consulted and followed. 1 I desire also to Bay that I stanS ir revocably in favor of free press and free speech, and that if I should be successful In being nominated and elected Governor of this state, I will see, so far as my power will permit, that no man or woman, rich or poor, black or white, shall be deprived of the opportunity of fairly and decently expressing themselves anywhere. In public halls, or upon the streets of cities In this state, as long as they conduct themselves In a lawful way. Rattle Is Expected. The liquor question has got to be fought out. Men will be compelled to take a stand for it or against it. The saloon is either right or it is wrong. If it is right it should be maintained and perpetutaed: if it la wrong, it should be destroyed. I feel that it Is wrong. . . . I know what kind of a battle this will be. I fully realize the power of the liquor element and the Retail Liquor Association of this state, who are always on guard and ready to battle for their position. I know how hard it is to make merchants, bankers and business men take an active interest in the movement, because they frequently fear that it will Injure the meat market, the store, and bank, and in other words, all trade. The facts are that if every saloon was driven out of business in Portland, inside of six months or a year, the merchants and busines men would be the ones who would be congratulat ing each other upon the advance in every line of business, and better pay ments of the bills of their patrons. . . . 9ir00 Eirmptloa Ksfvored. In closing I desire to say that I favor the $1600 exemption from taxation, now before the people of this state. In addi tion, if 1 should be honored with this nomination and election, it would be a source of great pleasure to me. in every legitimate way. to aid and advance the different school Interests and Institu tions of this state and the material wel fare of the instructors and teachers thereof. I wish to say, however, that If any one of the candidates who have an nounced themselves as such In the Re publican primaries, will come out openly and declare himself In favor of National prohibition and an amendment of the same character, for the State of Oregon, and in favor of National suffrage for women, I will freely and gladly with draw, as I do not desire to be a candi date if someone else Is willing to take a position In favor of these great causes. Sincerely yours, GEORGE C BROWNELL. ADDED COST ALLOWED Exposition Building Changes Found O. K. by Committee. Revisions In the structural plans for the Oregon building for the Panama Pacific Exposition, as indorsed In ac cordance with the resrulattonx of th Exposition Company, increase the price of the building J1300, making the total structural cost $35,280, as against the original bid of $33,980. on which the contract was awarded to Foster Vogt company, or san Francisco. The Oregon Commission has made careful investigation of the cost of the proposed changes and decided that the Increase of $1300 is reasonable. It was therefore decided not necessary to readvertise for . bids, since' the final contract, price with Foster Vogt Com pany, including the reauired chances. is Btill materially below the next iowest estimate on the plans. The revised drawings of the Oregon building, together with the signed con tract and bond from the Foster Vogt Company, were returned to the Com mission yesterday, thus complying In full with the requirements under which the contract was awarded. The Commission will hold its regular 1 George C.

Chairman Clark will probably leave the city shortly there after for an extended stay and all of the major business will be disposed of, if possible, at that meeting. PORTLAND BOY INDICTED Victor Wantocfo Accused of Jlurder lng Slletz Indian. Victor Wantoch, a Portland boy, 13 years old, was Indicted by the Federal grand Jury yesterday, charged with the murder by shooting of Bob Wiley, a Slletz Reservation Indian, on the res ervation last December. He was also Indicted on a charge of taking liquor on the reservation. The killing of Wiley took place during a drunken row. Of the 11 Indictments reported to Judge Bean yesterday, six were se cret, and these are said to be for violations of the Mann white slave act for which arrests have not yet been made. Ernest Baldwin was Indicted on a white slavery charge. The charge against Harry Snow, of Newberg. one of those indicted, is that he tampered with the malls. His bail was fixed at $1000. J. W. Pulliam was Indicted on three counts for using the mails with fraud ulent intent. Passing counterfeit $5 gold pieces is the charza on which Berthold Strauss and Harry Sandaul were indicted. CAR SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON Commissioner Daly to Tell Irvlngton Club How to Get Results. At the regular meeting of the Irvinir- ton Park Club Friday evening the mern- oersnip committee fulfilled its promise of Increased membership, with the re sult that the attendance was more than doubled. The club unanimously Indorsed a res olution presented by a committee from the Union Avenue Improvement Asso ciation declaring for the Union avenue approach to the new interstate bridge. A petition from the Parent-Teachers' Association to the School Board, asking for an adequate school building on the Kennedy site, was signed by all the members present. Much enthusiasm was manifest over the resolutions adopted to provide for better car service. Commissioner Daly will address the club tomorrow even ing on this subject and he promises to give them the benefit of his experience in obtaining better service for other districts.

U'REN SEEKS ERNOR'S Oregon City Attorney Enters Race as Independent and Cites Platform. LIQUOR ISSUE MADE PLANK Good Roads, Abolition, of Unneces sary Commissions and Work for Unemployed Among Pledges Announced by Aspirant. W. 8. U'Ren, an attorney of Oregon City, prominent In Oregon by reason of his connection with various move ments in the past for the establishment of political reforms, announced yester day his intention of bemg an Independ ent candidate for Governor in the No vember general election. In a platform which he has prepared he pledges sup port to many movements, including good roads, abolition of unnecessary commissions, offices and duplications in governmental departments, work for the unemployed, repeal of parts of the free schoolbook law, compelling people of ;the district to furnish free books to church and private schools if furnished to public school pupils; the -$1500 tax exemption amendment, enforcement of the law and abolition of the saloons and liquor traffic. Activities Are Varied. Mr. tTRen came to Oregon In 1889 and first entered politics In connection with the campaign promoted by the late E. W. Bingham for the Australian ballot system. When this work was finished he organized the Initiative and Referendum League, which promoted the initiative and referendum until it was approved by the people and the Supreme Court He was elected to the State Legisla ture In 1896 from Clackamas County, but the session did not organize. He was defeated for the State Senate In 1898 by George C. Brownell, running at that time as a Populist. In 1904 he helped organize the direct primary law movement, which resulted In the direct primary being adopted by the people. .In 1906 he helped organize the People's Power League, which sub mitted the corrupt practices and recall and other measures which were adopt ed. In 1910 he was one of the leaders in . the movement for the Presidential primary law. In 1910 and 1912 he was engaged In the campaign for single tax and for People's Power League masure. Platform Is Given. Following are the chief -statements In Mr. U'Ren's platform: "To the voters of Oregon: I have decided to be an independent candidate for Governor, though for many years I have been a Republican, and voted for the party candidates when they were even moderately progressive. But for the following reasons I shall not seek the party nomination: "First The measures necessary to complete what is called the Oregon system are essentially people's measures rather than the property of any political party, many of them op posed by the Republican party. These measures provide for conduct of the Government by officials who are direct, ly responsible to all the people, in stead of to a party organization for their first allegiance. "Second All the standpatters and reactionaries who made up the Anti Statement No. 1 and assembly crowd in 1910, and who, as they boasted In 1909 in The Oregonian, would 'put the knife Into each and all who declare for Statement No. 1' are as anxious now as ever to put that same knife into me. They are as bitterly opposed now as they were In 1910 to the actual use of the initiative and referendum, to the corrupt practices act. to the recall and to all the people's power measures at which they still sneer as 'Urenlsm' and the 'Urenlc' theory of govern ment. "Third I would rather have those gentlemen fighting me from the front as open enemies because of the measures I stand for, than knifing me from my own ranks, as they have done for many years past with all Re publican candidates who were known to be progressive. "I respectfully ask to be elected on the following pledges, and on my leg islative record as an advocate of the people's power In the government of Oregon. Good Roads Championed. "If I am elected I will advocate Im mediate enactment by the Legislature, and by the earliest possible vote of the people. If their vote proves to be necessary, of the most practical plan that may be offered at that time for a state highway system of hard-surface paved roads, with adequate lateral roads of the same kind. "To pay for building these roads, I advocate a graduated inheritance tax on all that part of the estates of de ceased persons appraised at more than $50,000. The law should require that the state highway officers must hire for road building every citizen of Ore gon who is in' need of employment and demands the work. The -wages should be at least sufficient to care for and educate his family as desirable 'citizens of Oregon. "No man can then consistently beg for charity, and the adoption of this plan will speedily banish from Oregon all able-bodied men who will not work. "I will try to have necessary measures submitted to the people, through the Legislature if I can, by initiative peti tion if I must, to establish the short ballot system and abolish the multi plication of departments, commissions and public officers created yto -do each other's work,, and the like of which does not exist in any other country. "I favor a. law to provide free school books for the children In all the public schools in the state, and in no other schools. I will do all in my power to obtain a prompt repeal of the "Jok ers' in Senate bill No. 290 (see ses sion laws of 1913, page 507). .passed by the last Legislature, by which the people of any school district who vote for free books for the children In their public sch6ols must also furnish free books to the children in all church and private schools in their district. "I have joined with some friends in preparing and submitting the $1500 homes tax exemption amendment now before the people. The adoption of this amendment. I believe, will give relief to the small farmer and home owner, and will repeal the unlimited exemption of diamonds. Jewelry and similar personal effects in actual use, which was proposed by the State Tax Commission, and adopted by the people in 1912. Law Enforcement Promised. "I will enforce all laws of the state to the utmost limit of the constitu tional powers of tue Governor's office. I am opposed to the licensed saloon and liquor, traffic. Every town that sells a saloon license thereby becomes a. partner in. the profits of the saloon business. "Therefore, whether I am elected Governor or not. I shall give my active help in the future as I nave for many years past, to the movement for the abolition of the liquor traffic and the saloon business in Oregon."

To travel 22,000 miles by rail and water, visit eight . South American countries, hobnob with as many pres idents and meet on terms of familiar ity with scores of Ijigh government offcials, army officers and diplomats was the pleasant portion of D. O. Lively, livestock commissioner for the Panama-Pacific Exposition and a resi dent of Portland, who is here for a few days on his way back to San Francisco. Mr. Lively was one of three com missioners who went to South Amer ica to represent not only the exposi tion, but-the United States Government in the interests of next year's world's fair. They -were In South America fully three months, visited Brazil, Argentina, Chill. Uruguay. Paraguay, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru, and secured prom ises of official participation in the exposition from all these countries and substantial appropriation for govern ment exhibits from most of them. Valuable Lesson Taught. To sum up his experiences Mr. Lively declares that the people of the United States can learn a valuable lesson from their South American neighbors, spclally, commercially and Industrially. "They are big, broad-gauge men." he said, speaking of the people with whom he came in contact, "and are materially Interested in the develop ment of their respective countries. "They are outspoken in their friend ship for the United States. I heard no condemnation of the Monroe doc trine. . They are ready and eager to trade with us, but we are not aggres sive enough to get their trade. Our English, German and Dutch competi tors are getting in ahead of us. American Bank Needed. "There is a crying need down there now for an American bank. South American business Interests hope that the new currency law will permit the establishment of such a bank with branches. "South American people know all about the United States far more than the people of the United States know about South America. "Right there Is where the trouble lies. We are too prono to ignore South America as a territory of little consequence. Were we to study the situation we would learn that the South Americans have a civilization far superior, In 'many respects, to our own, that they have" countries wtth greater natural resources, that the commercial possibilities are more ex tensive and that the people generally are equally as progressive as we are. "In education and culture they are our superiors." Other members of the commission with Mr. Lively were Felix Martinez, of El Paso, and William Barr, of New York. A secretary acocmpanled them.

In Brazi: the prevailing tongue 13 Portuguese. Close Study of Canal Made. Before sailing from. New York on the United States cruiser Birmingham the commission stopped at Washington and received credentials from President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan. Theirs, then, was a seml-dlplomatlc mission. Their purpose was not so much to urge the South Americans to attend the San Francisco fair as to secure a proper celebration by them of the completion of the Panama Canal. They stopped on the way south and made a close study of the canal. Their first official visit was at Caracas, Venezuela. There they found an American newspaper man, William Preston McGoodwin, o Oklahoma, on the Job as Minister from the United States. The Venezuelan government promised an appropriation of $350,000 for an exhibit at San Francisco. On the way to Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, they stopped at Ba hia, a city nearly twice the size of Portland, where they are spending $30,000, 000 on dock Improvements ana $20,000,000 on streets, sewers and other municipal development. Rio Now Han Million. Rio is a city of 1,000,000 Inhabitants and is modern in every detail, says Mr. Lively. Until five years ago yellow fever was prevalent, but the disease now has been stamped out effectively. Sanitary conditions prevail. An idea of the importance of Brazil as a commercial nation can be gained when it is considered that it has an area of 175,000 square miles more than the United States, exclusive of Alaska. The Brazilian government has pledged $55.,000 for participation in the expo sition. Then they went to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, which country is the richest, per capita, in the world. FOUNDER OF PORTLAND CHURCH ATTENDS MIS- SION COUNCIL. The Rev. YV. O. Forbes. The Rev. W. O. Forbes, D. D fdunder of the Forbes Presby terian Church of this city, and for 16 years its pastor, is now in Portland attending the home missions council. Dr. Forbes was recently elected as synodical superintendent for the board of. publication and Sunday school work in the synod of Washing ton, embracing the territory of Washington. Northern Idaho and Alaska. He has just been ap pointed by the board in Philadel phia to make the missionary ad-f dress of the general assembly, which will meet in Chicago next May. U..J2. :.

Buenos Aires, says Mr. Lively, .s probably the most progressive city in the. world. It has a population of 1. 750,000 and an immensely rich territory to support it. They have a modern subway, better than- New York's, . a stock exchange whicK gives Its surplus profits to the promotion of agriculture; great mercantile establishments, mag nificent public and private buildings and every modern facility of the most up-to-date cities in th United States. Argentina is a great livestock country, and this interested Mr. Lively greatly. He visited a ranch upon which were 5000 registered .Shorthorn and Hereford cattle, any of which, he says, would have commanded a premium at the leading livestock shows in this coun try. The South Amenca:. livestock is superior to that in North America, he asserts. Argentina Sets Aside Million. The republic of Argentina, of which Buenos Aires Is the capital, has set aside $1,300,000 for San Francisco par ticipation. La Parensa, the leading newspaper of Buenos Aires, Is' the most progressive daily paper in the world, says Mr. Lively. It maintains extensive bureaus for the development of art, medicine, and other professions among its read ers and has a system of recognizing talent in Its employes that he never has seen attempted elsewhere. At Buenos Aires they met eH-Presldent Roosevelt, and visited with him for sev eral days. The people of Argentina pre sented him with a prize horse which they later shipped to his stables at Oyster Bay. Mr. Roosevelt was well re ceived everywhere and did much to en courag"e interest In the San Francisco fair. Argentina is conducting a successful system of attracting immigrants from Europe and Is securing the most desir able kind of farmers. Chile Gives S250.0O0. The Chilean government has appro priated $250,000. President Lucco has promised to attend the exposition in person and upon receipt of this infor mation President Wilson addressed him a personal letter Inviting him to be the guest of the Nation. "Chile has both California and Oregon beat In fruit production," says Mr. Lively. "I never saw such cherries, pears and apples." The country that beats Bolivia, he says, will get the prizes in the mining division. An appropriation of $260,000 has been made. The average altitude of this country is 13,000 feet about 2000 feet higher than Mount Hood. In Lima, the capital of Peru, the com missioners visited with President Bll-lingh-urst, who was deposed from oflit.. the other day. This country also has set aside $250,000 for exposition pur poses. Paraguay promised an appropriation of $100,000. CANADA SENDS OFFICIALS Delegation Will Attend Oregon Ir igatlon Congress This Week. The Hon.
