Again old Jupe Pluvlus held forth,
but he could not dampen the ardor
of the four thousand Douglas county
citizens who gathered at the depot
to greet Charles Evan Hughes, the
republican candidate for president of
the United States. The train pulled
lu on time and came to a stop be
tween densely packed throngs who
crowded the platform on both sides
of the tracks. As the car came to a
standstill Mr. Hughes and his wife
appeared on the rear platform and
took their .places surrounded by the
other members of the party. He
was intoduced by Attorney Elbert
Hermann, the state committeeman
from Douglas county, who used hut
little time in introducing Mr.
Hughes, as the ncjrt president of the
United States.
Americanism First,
The candidate spent little time in
speaking of bis delight at being in
Oregon. He stated that he had en
joyed the time spent in the state
and although he had had a very busy
day at Portland had found great
pleasure In the hospitality shown him
there.
"I was more deeply touched," he
continued, "by the Intense interest
which the people of Oregon have in
the present-day issues. Men may
come and men may go, but if Amer
ica is t0 feel a continued prosperity
It must be controled by American
principles. 1 represent this policy of
Americanism and I esteem it a great
honor to be the spokesman of a great
party which has the principle as its
fundamental basis. We are In a
critical period, and after the terrible
war in Europe is ended we will en

we- will then need protection to

to pass policies which will give a

In order to have a lasting prosperity
we must have a policy of American

Pkals fur Preparedness.
"As wo look forwnrd we cannot
f-il to note In the other countries
the rapid growth of on extraordin
ary capacity for organization. We
are soft, undisciplined and lack or
gan jynt Ion. What we must have Is
a new birth of courage and loyalty
and a greater apprreltion of Ameri
ca and what it means. The basis
for eroater prosperity demands effi-

work for the best Interests of these
policies which mean so much to our

SV.kc- H:md With Crowd.
Following the short speech It
announced that Mr. Hughes would
shake hands with the crowd and
the candidate stepped down from
the platform and stood beside the
car and shook hands with the hun
dreds of people as they passed by
him. At this critical period the rain
began in a steady downpour, but un
daunted Mr. Hughes stood In the rain
and smiling greeted those who
crowded their way through the
densely packed and wniting throngs.
Before Bll present had an opportunity
to shake hands with him the time

expired and the cars were started.
After assisting his' wife to the steps
Mr. Hughes walked beside his car
clinging to the rail while the other
members of his party climbed aboard
and was the last to swing on. He
smiled a greeting to those remain
ing and shook his clasped hands to
'.he crowd.

He was accompanied besides the,

Mr Hughes was slightly hoarse
from the much speaking which he has
done in the past few days but appears
to be standing the trip well. On his
trip from "Oakland to Roseburg he
talked with the members of the locnl
committee on subjects closely con

LONDON, Aug. 17. The war de
partments of the allied nations ad
mitted today that the counter attacks
of the Germans Ihavo temporarily
halted the Russian and Kalian of
fensives. The dispatches from Pet-rograd-
stated that the Germans had
halted Hruisiloff and Berlin announc
ed' that all of the Russian attacks
had been repulsed. To the south of
to Austrians had captured the dom
inating heights In the Carpathians,
the reinforcements which , were
brought up by the Austrians have
stopped Cadornas advance toward
Trieste. The official communica
tions of the Germans, French and
English are contradictory in regard
to the fight around the Sonime. The
Germans have admitted the loss of
fiOO yards of trenches south of the
river, it is also claimed by llerlin
that the English and French were
ejected from the captured Clernmn
trending north of the river. General
Haig. the English commander, first
announced the capture of Gulllemonti
and 300 yards of the Gorman
trenches. Paris announced violent ar
tillery battling took place on the
Sonime i river last night and fchat
the Germans made no attempt to re
capture the village of Terrain. Of
ficial reports from the Haitians are
similarly confusing. A delayed Bnl
garian dispatch stated that the
French attacks wore repulsed over a
wide front, while Paris claimed suc
cesses on this front.
