THE PLAN THAT FAILED.
The other day on a street car
I sat behind two men, evidently
Republicans, and one of them was
telling that of all the Republican
fools the country ever bred it was
that bunch thaal messed things
up at Chicago, lie said that they
deliberately threw to the winds
the only ghost of a show they ev
er had when they nominated lat:
and he could NOT see why this
bunch of politicians should have
played the game this way
I will tell you the other part of
the game the man on the car di I
not see. You bo the jury and see
if the evidence is not circumstan
tial enough to hang a party on.
Money and the gang behind il
went to Chicago to kill off Roose
velt if they could. They wen
not at all sure that they could. If
il worked they were going to nom
inate Taft, if it did not work they
would try out a dark horse.
Killing Roosevelt was dead
easy. The steam roller took the
srinips out of him as a flat iron
does the rinkles out of Johnny's
shirt, and in their glee and deler
ium they just look and chucked
old Stand Pat Sunny Bill Sherman
in for vice president, just to show
Theodore they were mil only run
ning things but running them
hard.
But the Chicago deal was only
half of the program but the rest
would be dead easy.
If they got away with the Taft
end of it they were going down to
Baltimore and linish up the job.
If they could down Roosevelt in
Chicago, it would bo a cinch to
get away with that Democratic
affair. They would nominate
Clark, Underwood, Harmon or any
other man they wanted, they
would stand him on a dried apple
platform, and the dear people
could go to it for it would not
make a darned bit of difference lo
big business whether the voters
elected the SI and Pat noinineee
of Chicago or the Stand Pat nom
inee of Baltimore. Just a dis
tinction on the outside. Same
stuff in the bottles, only they wore
labeled differently.
But the Baltimore play got.
away from them. They hadn't
sized up Bryan right. They did
not know he was going to soak 'em
over so bard, and I hey did nut re
alize the force of public opinion.
Llryan spoiled tho whole pro
gram, and as tho Portland Journ.
al aptly put it, he forced Tam
many's tiger to come up and eat
out of his hand.
But with a progressive as a
candidate. Big business could
not budge things. Wilson was
nominated, tho man above all olh
era the interests did not
want
nominated, because the corpora
lions could not handle II 1M, and
II K COULD handle the voters. Do
you know tho money gang would
have far rather Bryan would have
been the nominee than Wilson, for
thero would have at least boon a
lighting chance to have beaten
him.
An an hour after that conven
tion tho bosses would have moved
heaven and earth lo have undone
the work al Chicago. They could
just as well have put over a dark
horse who would have been with
them, and the people could have
been kept on tho (uiet. But they
did not foresee tho bad outcome at
Baltimore, hence there wa9 no
necessity.
And along the same line there
was another line of calculations
and plans that went wrong Mr.
Roosevelt's. .
The Colonel had things llgured
out just about as the bosses did.
lie argued that if the roller could
be run over II IM there could no
one nave a ghost yh a show to
buck it al Baltimore, so he decided
I he play was lo lay back, let Money
do its worst at Baltimore, and
then he would come out on a pro
gressivo platform thai would lift
the people's halls off anil he
would be all there was of it.
And I want to tell you that T.
Roosevelt felt a mighty sight
worse over the outcome of that
Baltimore convention than Mur
phy did and you have some lit
tle conception of how this Irish
man felt.
And when it was over and Wil

son had been nominated on
platform that could not have
been made stronger and fuller to
answer the full demands of the
people more completely, then the
Colonel would have traded even
his chances for heaven to have
turned time backward and given
him back the Chicago opportun
ity to have nominated himself
and beat Wilson to it with his
platform.
In years lo come the young fel
lows who will cast their lirst vote
this fall, will tell their little sons
of the campaign of 1912, and of
two of the biggest political mis
takes that were ever made in this
country.
If you don't believe it, live long
enough and see.
WHY SCARED?
How in the devil is the state of
Oregon going to the devil just by
three counties, Multnomah, Coos
and Clackamas, trying. out the m
come single tax proposition?
I can t see where there is.any
thing to get excited or scared ov
er.
If I was a man paying far more
taxes than was my share, and ev
ery year seeing them roll up big
gor, I would vole for any propo
sitioa that promised relief, when
that proposition gave me the sanm
right to reject it as it did to try it
u the idea did not work out.
The very fact of the great fight
being organized against it, and
the fact thai the same interests
were the ones that attempted to
lake away lrom the voters of Ore
gon even the right to regulate tax
ation, should make a man come
alive and realize that if the mil
lionaires want to kill it, it the poor
people and the farmers want it.
Because they withdrew the vie
ious measure does not help mat
lers. They only did it because
they realized they had gone too
far and thai the people were get
ting wise to Ihem.
WHERE IS SELLING?
You fellows who turned down
the only realRepublican progress
ivc you ever had in the United
Stales senate, can you tell we
dear Plain People where Selling
stands and what he standi for?
Of course if this question is
embarrassing, or if it tends to
further incriminate the Republi
can parly you need not answer.
Some of tho Democrats on the
outside have a little curosity lo
know whether he is a Taft Repub
Mean or whether ho has a Koose
veil bandana in his inside pock
et and I have no doubt Mr. Sell-
'UK also has some doubts.
He reluses to be smoked out.
It is none of the plain people's
business whether ho is a pro
grossive. It's none of their bus
iness whether ho favors a protec
live laritr or whether lie "is with
I he favored interests and for
special privilege.
But they say Jonathan Bourne
thinks it IS some of the people's
business, and that if tho million
aire clothier of Portland doesn't
come out and take a direct stand,
he (Bourne) will become a can
didate againsl him, and smoke him
out. (
Politics certainly lake strange
turns these uneasy days, don't
they?
Today you are a Republican
slamlpat, tomorrow a progress
ive, next week an Independent and
only the Lord can see far enough
ahead to tell what you may be
a monl h from now.
Party halters are gone it's the
man from now on.
That "confiscation" talk about
I ho income tax amendment is just
as much bosh as that .talk that
a high tariff increased wages,! hut
I hey fooled you so long on. Do
your own thinking. The million
aires haven't exclusive privileges
on brains just yet.
The speculators and the big
corporations KNOW tho income
single tux proposition will make
good, and that is why they will
make a mighty light, to prevent a
trial of it in any county this fall.
ONLY MILLIONAIRES WANTED.
Three counties want, to try out
mis grauuaueu income smgie lax
proposition. I-of heaven s sake
will someone tell me how that will
kill the state?
If one of these three counties
carries the proposition, then all
the resl oi tne stale" can iook on
and see how the plan that prom-
ises so mucn will work out. .
If it works out and lowers the
burdens of excessive taxation,
then every oilier county in the
state will rush the doors to get in.
If it does not assay high enough,
then tins county mat tried me ex-
periinent will simply throw it out.
just as a county will throw out
license at tunes.
But there's the rub.
The speculators and the fellows
who have the thousands of acres
of the state tied up know that if
the idea once proves successful it
will tie an on wun tneni.
nii'. Know it win woik out anu
that it will lorce tliem to pay tne
taxat ion that Hie workers are
paying now, and tney Know it is
all oil with the stale of Oregon if
O.U UJUM) tries it.
And these interests and tne Dig
corporations are going lo play
every possible card to stop Coos,
Clackamas and Multnomah coun-
lies lrom voting to experiment
this fall and you are going to get
the best arguments and scare
stories against if thai money can
produce.
Ihere is one sensible thing lor
the voters lo do and that is try the
proposition, vole lor it, and see n
out of it will not come a condi-.
tion that will permit Oregon to
develop.
Now it is permitted to develop
according lo the way the specu-
lators want it to develop, accord-
ing to the price they can squeeze
out of it, and that is why there
are so many thousands of un-
productive, dead acres in Oregon
and why land is so high the poor
settler cannot get a foothold here,
Keen the present squeeze on
things and we wiH soon have a
slate where we will put up a sign
Only Millionaires Wanted.
HELP THEODORE BOLT.
The Democratic play should be
to encourage tho Roosevelt bolt
in all ways and look at the ag-
gresivo Colonel s candidacy as a
half conversion to the Democratic
faith.
Roosevelt can't do the Demo.
cratic party any harm, and lie can
help bury Taft so creep that when
uanriei comes wun ms suue

tromDone ne win nave io onus a
gang of shovelers along.
Both Roosevelt .and Taft will
eiieetuaiiy prevent eacii. oiimm
from coming within a !i indeed
miles of an election.
I'hey will split up what, is left
of the Republican parlv in every
late and make certain ihe elec
tion of Wilson.
Encourage Ihe Colonel. Tell

Democrats will get the election
and Roosevelt will get even.
It s a good play. Roosevell
hould be considered as a very ac.
live Democratic Aid Society.

ing that the country is becoming

BEGINNING OF THE END.
Mreadv tho two national conven-
ions have started somethintr. and
I ho beginning of the end of nat
ional conventions is here
Congressman Norris of Ne
braska has introduced a bill in the
house, that he claims will do away
ith "boss- rule
in presidential
nominations.
The bill provides for national
pring primaries, followed by a
national convention. Tho primar.
ies will trive the neoole a first and
second direct choice for president
and vice president, and also the
election of delegates lo carry out
tho expression of the primary
vote.
If a candidate for president has
a majority, then he becomes the
party s candidate without any
national convention. If there is
not a majority then the conven
tion names a candidate. The con
vention as provided for will be
much smaller than the present
conventions, and will only have
authority to designate candidates
when the primaries do not show
a majority choice of the people.
Tbe money gang back of that
bill to deprive tho people of Ore
gon the right to vote on taxation,
wan like Col. Roosevelt wailed
loo long and couldn't see what
was coming. They have quit the
scheme, but not until it has shown
tho people what was behind the
anti-single tax.
SPLENDID!

Mr. Ilieiiibolliaiii's idea is to

selected from each nolilioal party,
pass on uR.se measures and do

WHAT WILSON STANDS ON.
Here are ttie strong points in
Ihe Democratic national platform
and any man who knows Woodrow
Wilson knows that he will carry
mem out it sucti a tiling is possi
ble. Head these items over and
then compare them with that dish
rag alfair that, they .dragged in at
Chicago.
Tariff revision downward and
gradually carried to that point of
for revenue only. (And what more
tariff do we want?)
High cost of living charged di
rectly to the Republican system
of trust favoring through a pro
lective land, (iou have had
quiet idea this was one of the rea
sons for a long time.)
Yigorus enforcement of the anti
trust laws. (This will do away
Willi the "dissolving business.)
Taft administration condemned
for not criminally prosecuting of.
licers of Standard Oil and Tobacco
trusts. (They "dissolved them
thereby permitting them to go and
sm some more.)
For the income lax and the pop
ular election of United Stales sen
ators.. (This would shut out the
Lorriniers, Roots, Stephenson
and that bunch of trust protec
tors.)
Publicity of campaign expenses
(This would make the trust-
backed candidate show up who his
friends were.)
The preferential primary. (The
same as we have in Oregon.)
Single presidential term of six
years.
Commendation for the Demo
cratic congress for the passage
of tariff reduction and other pop
ular laws. (And President Taft
vetoed them.)
Republican party charged with
extravagance and ' charged with
responsibility for high taxes. (A
slap at the hundreds of useless
and needless officials on the pay
rolls and the hundreds of useless
and needless boards, commissions
and junketing affairs.)
Government regulation of exi.
press companies, railroads, tohu
graphs and telephones. (This is
what Bryan has been working for
for twelve years.)
Opposes the central bank idea
(This is the Yreeland scheme to
build up a money trust.)
A system of post roads. (Don t
know anything about it.)
Liberal aid to waterways.
Opposed to the law of injunc
tion against labor. (This should
make workmen feel good.)
Separate department for labor
is urged. (One of the important
matters before our country.) .
Land for the landless is a mot
to held aloft. (This would reverse
the present motto "Land for the
Speculator.)
Alaska to be developed, and
kept out of the control of the
monopolies. ( This will pry loose
the Guggenheims.)
.Mining chould be liberally en
couraged.
Free toils for American' ships
through the Panama canal. (This
will force competition onto the
ailrbads of this country.)
Reform is pledged for the courts
and to remedy the present mis
carriages and legal delays. (To
day our courts are sneer at.)
Opposition to the present pol
icy in the Philippines, and inde
pendence to those islands prom
ised. (Good.)
Territorial government for Al
aska urged. (This would give the
government direct control of this
country, the same as with any ter
ritory.)
Parcels post promised. ( t ne
express companies have long pre
vented tins law.)
Generous pensions for the old
soldiers. (They are fast going
and our country owes it to them.)
Rule of the people is demanded.
The above are the main points
of strength in the platform. It is
a splendid foundation, a strong
teclaration.
SPREADING.
(Los Angeles Tribune.)
When a large representative or
ganization like the city club, lis
tens for the second time in a year,
and with deep respect and inter
est to the expounding of the sin
gle tax theory, it may be said that
the once despised political econ
omy of Henry George is ipaking
headway on this side ot Hie lint
is it has in Canada
Time was when a single taxer
was looked upon as a narmiess
rank. He could generally floor
I her disputants in debate, but
the llnal answer to him was that
George's plan might he unan
swerable but was "Utopian." Of
uch dreamers are some of the
world's, greatest movements born
The presence of diaries rreu-
rick Adams before the city club
aturday shows that the Utopian
now appeals as practical to some
hard headed men. Of itself the
meeting would not have been ve
rv significant. But it was a part
of a series of events whose mean,
ing will not be overlooked by any
Indent of affairs
At the recent meeting of the as
ssors of California counties in
an Francisco the single tax was
discussed with deep interest, and
A
lessor Dodge of Bay City was
nlv in favor of taxing "land

alues only, and exempting nn-
ovenients." At the recent con

Won't this be a great old cam
paign?
THE LAST HOPE.
The Stand Patters, now seeing
the big blunder of the Chicago
convention, and certain defeat at
the polls this fall, are making a
last desperate effort to nominate
some man who will have a little
show to slop Wilson.
The Washington dispatches
give it out that a big movement is
under way to get a deluge of sig
induces from the Republicans of
the country, petitioning Taft lo
withdraw, and if the petitions are
humiliating enough to force him
lo do so, then another candidate
will be named in his place.
The dispatch "states that the
stand pat members of congress
are behind Ihe movement, and thi.-
being so, it us a certainly that tli
' compromise pandidate they
would bring out would be a slam
pat candidate, but one the peoph
would not get wise lo until alter
election.
The scheme will fail.
In the first place Taft won't
stand to be made a monkey of,
I'hey forced his nomination and
then, feliug sure they could carry
Ihe Baltimore convention, they
rubbed it into the people by hitch
ing Jim Sherman on a man who
stands just about as strong with
Ihe voters as does Judge Archi
bald.
In the second place, if they
uhl succeed in shaking 'Taft
loose, the stand pal bunch behind
Ihe scheme would kill it.
There is nothing to it for the
old Republican party but to get it
it this fall and get it proper.
JUDICIAL PROSTITUTE.
That was a a harsh verdict the
judiciary committee rendered
against Judge Archibald of the U.
S. commerce court of Washing
ton, and it but helps on the cause
of other states for what Oregon
already has, the recall of the ju
diciary.
The senate judicary committee
demands that Judge Archibald be
impeached for "misbehavior,
high crimes and misdemeanors;"
that he has prostituted his high
illice for personal profits, and
that he is unfit for the bench.
One afler another witness swore
that they had seen him drinking
and drunk. Thirteen articles of
impeachment were presented.
Here's belting Judge Archibald
wishes he had let that Swedt
citizenship alone.
Has anybody seen Kelly? It is
easier to find men who have seen
Kelly than it is lo find men who
are going to vote for Taft.
Read the evidence of drunken
ness and corruption in the Judge
Archibald impeachment, case and
then turn over to the Republican
national piaiorm and read we
are opposed to the recall of jud
ges."
DemocraU and Republicans
alike are bound to admire that
good game spirit of Champ Clark
who swallows his defeat like a
game fighter, comes up smiling,
and sings out "Hurrah for Wil
son.
While not all in this commun
ity agree with W. S. U'Ren so far
as single lax is concerned, there
are also but few who deny his ab.
ility or who forget the fact that
he has done much for Oregon by
using that ability in the further
ance of better government for the
commonwealth. Aurora Obser-
Tbat was a great stand for
principle that William Jennings
Uryan made in the convention
when he broke away from Clark
because he was supported byTam.
many Hall's Murphy 90, and then
declared he would turn from Wil
son if Murphy supported him.
Just think of the change in theway
we do things. Formerly the can
didate who could control this boss
bunch could be nominate, while in
the candidate was a blight.
These days of popular un
rest, a wholesome unrest, signify)
that bom men and women are
not satisfied to remain stationary
but are resolved to reach out lo
larger opportunities and to bet
ter conditions. Tbe enfranchise
ment -of women is not yet ac
complished, but it is coming. The
inspiration of faith which are
leading this country ahead today
arise largely from the wives and
mothers of America. It has alT
ways been so, let us believe it al
ways will be. Governor Foss of

CONSTIPATION IS A
. MENACE IN SUMMER
Regularity of Bowels Very Impor
tant to Health at This Time
At no time should people more
closely watch the condition of
bowels I ban during hot weather.
Summer conditions contribute in
varioys ways to causo constipa
tion, but whatever the cause the
trouble should be quickly correct,
ed; constipation, if neglected
leads to serions and often 'fatal
disease.
Some people find that certain
certain fruits have laxalive effect
but this cannot be depended upon
a mild laxative tonic that will act
gently and positively without
or shock to the system, is far pre
ferable. The compound of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin, known
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is
highly recommended as being ea
sy and natural in action, pleasant
to the taste, and certain in its ef
fect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night will restore normal action
in the morning, carrying off the
heaviness and bloat. Salts, pur
gative waters and cathartics
should be avoided, as they up
set the entire system and afford
at best but temorary relief. By
cleansing the bowels and remov
ing the foreign matter that irri
tates and inflames the tissues, a
a spoonful of Syrup Pepsin will
quickly check the summer diar
rhoea that is so weakening. Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is soklby
druggists for fifty cents a bottle,
Ihe larger, family size costing one
dollar. ' ' A free trial bottle can
be obtained, postpaid, by writting
