PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 22. Gov
ernor Chamberlain, Oregon's non
partisan aspirant for the senatorsblp.
Is to take the stump In Oregon for
Bryan. This was the Information
given out yesterday at Democratic
headquarters In this city. The na
tional committee of the Democratic
party is known to have been negoti
ating with Governor Chamberlain
for bis services as a campaign speak
er for some time, and It is. under
stood that he has consented to devote
the last two or three weeks of the
campaign to speechmaking for the
Nebraskan. An Itinerary has not
been arranged for the governor, but
those in charge of the campaign in
this state will Insist that be spend
all of his time In Oregon for the as
sistance he may be able to render in
carrying the state for the Nebraskan.
That Governor Chamberlain would
take an active part In the campaign
before it closed has long been sus
pected, although to date he has un
waveringly adhered to his announced
non-partisan policy. He bas persist
ently refrained from taking any
part In a public meeting of the Dem
ocrats since the June election.
When the faithful held their rally
in the Baker theater several weeks
ago to ratify the nomination of Bry
an and Kern, Governor Chamberlain
sent his regrets and the audience lis
tened to ex-Senator J. M. Gearin,
State Senator M. A. Miller and other
orators of the party, but the gover
nor was not among those present.
Again, when Alton B. Parker, the
Sage of Esopus, exhorted the voters
to support the Democratic nominee.
the governor was at Pelican bay,
flirting with Harriman.
But apparently he has been
smoked out. The first intimation that
'Our George" would soon resume his
public appearances at Democratic
runctlons leaked out the other day
when George H. Thomas, chairman
or the Democratic county central
committee, announced that Cham
berlain would ofllclate as chairman
of the reception committee on the
occasion of Senator Gore's visit to
Portland next Friday. This was the
opening wedge, and then the mem
bers of the national committee got
busy and Insisted that the needs of
the party demanded that Chamber
lain come out from hiding.
The Interests or the governor.
however, do not end with the possi
bility or Bryan's success In Oregon.
By carrying thlB state ror 'Bryan,
Chamberlain could better assert his
title to the senatorshlp and demand
an election at the hands or the leg
islature. The managers or the Dem
ocratic campaign in this state have
been much encouraged by the apathy
and apparent Indifference or the Re
publicans and have Insisted that by
means or an aggressive campaign
there is a good righting chance to
carry the state. But to overcome
the enormous Republican majority.
notwithstanding the existence or
factional differences within the dom
inant party, the united assistance of
every Democrat was needed.
Viewing the situation in this light.
the combined influence of the state
and the national committees was di
rected on Governor Chamberlain,
and he has yielded.

D. L. Jones of Forest Creek has

AUA1.NST ASHLAND.
Suit has been entered by the Ash
land Electric Power & Light com
pany In the Circuit court of this
county asking ror an Injunction re
straining the city or Ashland, the
derendants, from Issuing bonds for
the purpose of installing an electric
light plant and for the coBts and disbursements.
There was an election held at Ash
land recently for the purpose of see
ing If the people there wanted a mu
nicipal electric plant and for the Is
suing or bonds In the sum of 280,-
000 for the construction of the
same. This was carried by an over
whelming majority. In fart, there
were hardly any votes against the
proposition.
Previous to the election It was ru
mored that ir the proposition carried
that the company would make every
elfort to block It, but when the citi
zens showed what tbey thought
about It In such an unmistakable
manner as they did It was thougbt
the company would drop the matter
right -there and then.
Recently a horizontal raise In rates
or rrom SO to 75 per cent was an
nounced. This led the council to
take up the project where work was
left off before, and the people are
strongly behind tbem in the present
plans of carrying It through and In
stalling a modern plant. Engineers'
surveys and reports show the project
to be entirely feasible to generate
from Ashland creek more than dou
ble the horsepower that Is now used
In Ashland for both electric light
and power.

"Seventy thousand acres of land on

KAGLK POINT.
The Baptist church, the only one
at Eagle Point, will be dedicated to
morrow night and quite a crowd will
go rrom Medford to assist in tne
good work. Rev. O. F. Clevenger has
been laboring In "the master's vine
yard" for some time and at last his
good work has brought forth fruit.
The cany trials encountered in es
tablishing a church In a sparsely
settled community cannot be realized
by those who are accustomed to pat
ronizing the city churches. How
ever, the members of the First Bap
tist church or this city and its pas
tor. Rev. Mr. Hall, have shown in
every way that their hearts and souls
have been In the work at Eagle
Point and the bread cast upon the
waters has returned.
Although this Is a Baptist church,
yet all Christians are Invited to at
tend the dedication ceremonies. Just
how the Medford people will go there
has not been srranged as yet, but
lull particulars will appear In to
morrow's Morning Mail, and every
member or any church In Medford
who can do so should go and "boost"

DETROIT. Mich.. Sept. 22. The
moat sensational development In the
present campaign was the sending to
day by Colonel Bryan ot a telegram
to President Roosevelt demanding
that Roosevelt produce proof that
Governor . Haskell of Oklahoma,
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee, ever was connected with
the Standard OH company. Seizing
upon the opportunity thus afrorded,
Bryan took occasion to serve notice
upon the president that he would
not permit any responsible member
or the Republican organization to
misrepresent the attitude or the
Democratic party In the present
campaign, and further, that the Dem
ocratic party was "making an hon
orable, honest fight" In defense of
its principles and policies, and that
It expected fair and honorable treat
ment from those In charge of the
Republican campaign.
Copiea of the telegrams were giv
en out for publication just before
Bryan's departure for Ann Arbor.
Bryan spent five hours In consulta
tion with his advisors before send
ing the telegram to the president In
response to the statement of the
president published this morning, In
which the president Indorsed the
charges made against Haskell by
Hearst, that Haskel had been con
nected with the Standard Oil com
pany and had attempted to bribe Attorney-General
Monett of Ohio.
Up to a late hour tonight he had
received no reply from Roosevelt.
Bryan arrived here early this morn
ing and was given a rousing recep
tion at the station by thousands of
workers on their way to places or
employment. The Journey to Ann
Arbor was made In special car and
when he arrived there was accorded
a cordial greeting.
To a gathering of several thous
and persons, Bryan spesklng from
the balcony of the Cook house, di
rected his remarks especially to
young men, discussing the trust, tsr
Iff, labor question and government
guarantee of bank deposit. Bryan
severely criticised Taft.
Returning to Detroit this evening.
Bryan addressed a monster meeting
In Light Guard armory. To the thou
sands outside, who failed to gain
admittance, Bryan gave a brief over
flow talk. In both addresses he
