C01GBE5S1N ELLIS IRE TO DPEI REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN Well-Known Pendleton Orator Arrived On Coos Bay This Morning. SAYS TAFT HAS PARTY STRENGTH Only Danger to Republicans Lies In Apathy Among Voters. Judge Ellis' Meetings. Meetings for Judge Ellis In Coos county are arranged as follows: Marshfleld, Oct. 19th. North Bend, Oct. 20th. Myrtle Point, Oct. 21st. Coqullle, Oct. 22nd. Bandon, Oct. 23rd. Judge W. R. Ellis of Pendleton, tho member of congress from eastern Oregon, arrived here this morning on the Breakwater to open the Repub lican campaign in Coos county. He was sent here by the Republican State Central Committeo and will de liver a number of speeches through out Coos county during the next few days. Mr. Ellis discovered that he was decidedly a "land-lubber" and sea sickness on the trip down gave him little opportunity of admiring the Oregon coast. He has been initiated Into the "Coos Bay Railroad Building Brotherhood," and If he ever gets a chance, it's a lead pipe cinch that he will urge the construction of a line from Drain to Coos Bay or even from Coos Bay to Portland at once. "W. H. Taft will poll the normal Republican vote throughout Oregon," said Judge Ellis this afternoon. "I have heard reports of Bryan making big gains in Oregon but at the points I have visited, I have been unable to find any signs of Democracy gaining strength. The people are not doing much hollering during this campaign but on interviewing them privately, I found that they were generally for Taft. Mr. Taft is well-known throughout the country "through the successful record he has made in the various public positions he has suc cessfully filled and everyone recog nizes that ho will make an admirable chief executive of the nation. Danger From Apathy. "The only trouble and danger In the coming election is apathy. It is hard to stir up any enthusiasm. The people are going along with their business just the same as though there wasn't any presidential elec tion coming on In a few weeks. This will bo all right If they don't forget to get out and vote. "Prom what I have been able to gather from reports from all over Oregon, tho state will roll up a good majority for Judge Taft and the Re publican ticket. "Gov. Chamberlain is evidently trying hard to avoid taking the stump for Mr. Bryan although the Demo crats are bringing unusual pressure to bear on him." Mr. Ellis was welcomed at the Break water dock this morning by a large number of citizens, tho reception committee appointed by Judge C. A. Sehlbrede, Republican state commit teeman from this county, turning out well. Arrangements are being made for his entertainment during his stay on the Bay and in the county. This forenoon, Capt. A. M. Simpson and L. J. Simpson accompanied him to C. A. Smith mill where they spent a few hours inspecting the plant. The mill was a revelation to Mr. Ellis. Tomorrow, it is planned to take him for a trip around the bay on tho tug Columbia, and he will also be taken up some of the various Inlets to give an Idea of the Coos Bay coun try and its possibilities aa well as of tho Coos Bay harbor. Tonight Judge Ellis will probably be one of the speakers at the Cham ber of Commerce meeting. Party For Tomorrow. Tho tug Columbia will leave Dow's warehouse docks at 2 o'clock Satur day afternoon on its tour of the Bay, with Congressman Ellis and a party of Coos Bay business men.

Ellis, who came down from Portland on the Breakwater to deliver a num ber of speeches in Coos county In. be half of Republicanism, Capt. Magenn had the steamship gaily decorated and fired salutes as the vessel drew up to North Bend and again as it ap proached its dock in Marshfleld this morning. An ensign floated from the mainmast indicating that the vessel had a distinguished visitor on board and from lower on the mainmast hung a pennant with the word "Co lumbia" and from the foremast an other pennant bore "Oregon's con gressman."
