HUGHES WHIPS SENATORS.
Skulkers In New York Senate Enraged
Over Special Message.
Albany, N. T., April 9. Governor
Hughes stirred up a hornets' nest to
day when he sent a special message to
the senate, urging again the necessl
ty of the passage of an anti-race horse
gambling bill upon which a tie vote
was taken 'yesterday. The message
was no sooner read than Senator Pat
McCarren, erstwhile leader from the
Borough of Brooklyn, leaped to his
feet and suggested that the bill be
sent back to the governor with a mes
sage asking the governor to mind his
own business. "The message Is an in
sult to the senate."
Senator Grady then declared that
Hughes was turning Into a common
"scold."
Administration Vexed at Castro.
Washington, April 9. A feeling of
vexation on the part of the adminis
tration toward Castro's government
has given way to one of anger as the
result of the publication of the arti
cles attacking President Roosevelt In
the Venezuelan president's organs.
Secretary of State Root Is more
aroused at this crisis than at any
time since he took office. Root Is
confident that as soon as the senate
committee takes the matter up, the
president will be authorized to treat
with CaBtro In a manner he deems
necessary and fit.

Invited to Express Their Views In
Ttiue-Llntltcd Remarks L. J. Da

sition on the Platform Quartet
Rendered Two Pleasing Selections.
By far the largest poll teal gather
ing so far this campaign greeted Hon.
H. M. Cake last evening. County Chair
man C E. Cochran called the meeting
to order and then requested Colonel
lvanhoe to act as chairman of the
evening, which he did by calling up
on the candidates for the legislature
MAiU nuin uu tu : pmiiuiili. lull...
them In advance that flve-mlnute ad
dresses only, were desired, and those
who exceeded the 10-mlnute limit
would be shot right on the spot.
R. D. Hamilton was the first to be
called, who responded that he coud
not make a flve-mlnute speech; that
he did not know how to begin on so
limited a time, but that If elected he
would endeavor to Becure legislation
that would afford protection to the
bank depositors.
; S. F. Richardson, commenced by
taking out his watch, saying that Jie
did not want to be shot. He was
pleased to see so many out, which
showed by their presence that they
were Interested. He said the masses
desired to know . which party they
could depend upon to produce the
greatest good, and that the only way
he knew was to Judge the future by
the past, ' He called the attention of
many pioneers present to the times
when corn sold for 7 cents per bushel
That the republican party, with the
exception of four years, had been In
power 48 years, which had always
stood for protection, progress and ex
pansion. That the four years the
democrats were In power, that it pro
duced the Coxey army and sorrow on
every hand, and the republican party
was returned to power by an over
flowing majority.
J. B. Stoddard, while he recognized
the fact that he could beat either of
his opponents single-handed, when it
came to two, that was different. He
said it seemed rather strange to him
that whenever he was opposed In pol
tics mat one or the candidates was a
Richardson (laughter). He main
talned that he was the only regularly
subscribed statement No. 1 candidate,
that the others made public announce
ments to this effect but their sworn
petitions did not.
He cited the fact that practically
all of the legislation resulted In In
creased taxation, citing the Australian
ballot law, the primary law, with its
two .elections, and the Initiative and
referendum which this year had cost
130,000. He staed that recently he
had talked with the entire democratic
party, which represented the lower
house of the legislature at the last
session, Mr. Herman Rothchlld of
North Powder having that honor, and
that during that session there was
only one measure that partook any
thing of a political nature, therefore
he did not believe that In his limited
time he should bo expected to touch
upon national Issues. If elected, he
would favor legislation governing the
riparian rights.
The L. D. 8 quartet was then call
ad and recalled, at which they kindly
responded.
L J. Davis of Union, candidate for
the circuit Judgeship, was next called,
and he responded by saying that It
was an unexpected pleasure to meet
so many of the republicans, but as he
'considered this more In the nature of
a legislative meeting, that he would
not Impose farther on their kindness,
but might later on in the campaign
make an address.
Orator of the Evening.
Mr. Cak'e, the orator of the evening,
was received with a cordial greeting
aa ha stepped forward. Ha is a
pleasing speaker, logical and convinc
ing. Ha Is a firm believer In political
parties. A firm believer In ths repub-
and Its men. He paid an eloquent
tribute to President Roosevelt and his
magnificent administration. He stood
with the president In his forest reserve
policy, his reclamation policy and his
position relative to the railroads,
wherein the great transportation com
panies were made to realize thaMhey
owed a duty to the ' public. He ar
raigned the policy of the railroad in
Oregon; how they had retarded the
growth of the state by their Inactivity.
He asked why we had no Spokane in
eastern Oregon.
, The speaker devoted a good portion
of his time to statement No. 1 and In
doing so, reviewed the history of the
lock-out system that has prevailed
form coast to coast, and north and
oum. now legislative business of
the states were all subservient to the
election of a senator. He tabooed the
