BOwtRIN ill PORTLAND TO TELL FAGTS Jay Bowerman, Republican elect primary nominee for governor, waB me principal speaker last night at a Republican meeting In Ogden hall Mississippi avenue and Shaver street Colonel Hofer, of Salem, and County Judge Cleeton, were the other speak ers, says a Portland paper. . Mr. Bowerman dwelt upon the vital Issues of the campaign and outlined the platform upon which he stands. He took up the various reforms and Improvements he Intends to Institute in the administration of state affairs, and spoke of several Important laws he will advocate, Including a statute providing for the regulation of public service corporations and an act pro viding protection of employes of big concerns from "spotters." His re marks on that topic were enthusias tically received by the worklngmen present. "Under the present system of your employment." said Mr. Bowerman, yon know that any person with a grudge can report you .for alleged misconduct. If elected governor I pro pose in my first message to the leg islature to urge the enactment of a law providing that employer individ ual or corporation must, upon re quest, state the reason for such dls missal and must, upon demand, con front the accused with the accusser. Employes to be Protected. "As It now la, a conductor, engineer Anyr re- scription When yon have a prescription or rccclpe to be filled we can al ways compound it, no matter by whom written or npnn what blank it may be written.

" Let Us Do Your Prescription Work motorman or other employe Is called 'on the carpet' and discharged with out a clearance, very frequently no reason being assigned. If a man be guilty of a breach of the rules, or any offense, he realizes his own guilt and will not ask for a hearing. But If the employe be falsely accused, such a law will protect him and his reputa tion, and I believe-, that alleged detec tives or others will not be prone to make false charges, knowing they will be called upon to face the ac cosed." The speaker reaffirmed his stand cn the laws of the people, pledging his full protection of all their laws "1 will veto any legislation having for its purpose the repeal, alteration or change of any of the people's laws." he said. This applies to the primary law. Statement No. 1, the corrupt practices act and the various other measures written in the statute books by the people. If there Is to be any change such changes must come from the people themselves. Judge Cleeton made a rousing talk on Republicanism. He took the stand that the direct primary law is serious ly threatened and that if it is to be continued, then the people must rat ify the choice they made t the primary election of Mr. Bowerman and the others of the ticket. Primary law' Threatened. Colonel Hofer saw in defeat of the Republican party the repeal of the primary law. "Unless the Republicans of this state carry, this election, and especially elect their nominee for governor, then we will have no Re publican party in Oregon," said he. ''If you, by your ballot, vote against the primary nominees you are di recting a death blow at the primary law. If we let the minority party win in this great Republican state, then that will be an admission that the primary - law Is ineffective, for we will not have abided by that law. A.id there Is bound tp arise a demand for Its repeal if t proves a failure. "Mr. Bowerman is a man well wor thy to head the direct primary Repub lican ticket," concluded the speaker. "He Is a man of honesty, integrity and ability, and his election means the ushering in of a new era of prosper ity and the end of corporation domina Its repeal if it proves a failure.
