Sunday Evening Talk Treats on Political Situation
Containing No Startling Statments. -Believes
State Will Go Strongly Dry
lion. F. M. Gill, candidate for gov
ernor on the Progressive ticket,
spoke for a half hour at the M. E.
church Sunday evening, and favor
ably impressed his audience as being
a plain-spoken and thoroughly honest
man.
The honorable gentleman said he
felt perfectly at home in the Metho
dist pulpit as he was a member of
the church and had actually preach
ed 5 sermons during his life time.
After reading a passage of
Scripture he proceeded to outline the
platform and principle of the Pro
gressive party. He said they were
practically indentical with the recent
ly adopted Social Creed of the Fed
eral Council of Christian churches of
America.
Mr. Gill briefly outlined his past
political service, stating, he had first
been sent to the legislature as the
representative of Hood River county,
when he entered the lists as a cham
pion of the iniatiative and referen
dum. He mentioned the various bills
which he had been instrumental in
getting through the legislature,
among them being the Widow's Pen
sion Law, and also the 8-Hour Day
Law.
"I stand for better conditions for
the men who labor," said the speak
er. "I believe that the State Tax
Commission and the State Game Com
mission should be abolished. I be
lieve one man on a commission will do
more and better work than three. Had
the digging of the Panama Canal been
entrusted to a commission instead of
to one man it would not have been
finished for five years yet to come-1
In all my experience 1 never saw the
State Tax Commission do a single
hours work. Put the Game and Fish
Commission entirely in the governors
hands and let him appoint men to do
the work when any needs to be done.
I believe the State Land and Bes
ert Land Boards should be combined
also the office of State Engineer
and State Highway Engineer should
be combined. I think Governor West
made a mistake in discharging the
State Engineer as his services were
much needed and appreciated in East
ern Oregon.
"I believe that we should lend the
state's credit to develop our natural
resources. I would favor building u
power plant near the Dalles, which
would develop 400,000 surplus horse
power, and would be of very great
value in developing Oregon by fur
nishing cheap power over a very wide
extent of territory. I would favor
Thirty-Three Years
of Successful Banking
J The first day of July, 1914, marks the. close of the thirty
third year of this-bank's existence; it having begun business
in 1881. It was founded by citizens of Oregon City, with
local capital, and has been managed by practically the same
officers since its beginning. It is with pardonable pride that -.we
mention here a few of the things attamect by this bank.
J Besides being the oldest and strongest bank in Clackamas ,
County, it is one of the Roll of Honor Banks of the United
States, which means, that its earned surplus and undivided pro
fits exceed its capital. Its deposits are nearly One Million
Dollars. It has a surplus that exceeds its capital by more
than $25,000.00. Its reserve at the present time is over 40
per cent of its deposits while under the State law it is only
required to carry IS per cent. The strict regard which
, the management has for those principles of sound banking -which
have characterized its history in the past furnishes un
questioned assurance of safety for depositors in the future.
We fully appreciate that this splendid record has been made
possible only through the confidence and help of our cus
tomers and we take this means of assuring present and future
depostors that fhe conservative policies that have proven so
successful in the past will be continued in the future.

bonding the state or counties loaning
the credit at "1 per cent advance to
benefit those who are struggling to
make new homes in the wilderness
and to supply settlers with artesian
wells, irrigation, etc. The more people
we can get upon the land the less tax
es we shall have to pay individually.
"My Platform includes, 'Human
Rights before Dollar Rights;' I
would give government assistance to
those at the bottom of the ladder, in
stead of to those at the top, as it
seems to me has generally been the
case. I am a farmer and I know by
experience that it is not an easy task
to dig a home out of the wilderness.
Turn the tables on the millionaire!
'Strict law enforcement laws which
are hard to enforce should be amend
ed so that they can be enforced.
"If elected I will do all in my pow
er to enforce he laws. I do not think
t should use the militia, unless it were
absolutely necessary. I shall not
criticise Gov. West, as he has done
what he thought was necessary to
properly enforce the laws.
"I stand for economy. We can run
the state with far less expense. Dur
ing the last session of the legislature
I voted against a bill which increased
my own salary because it carried
items which I did not think econom
ical. Taxes are too high, and farm
ers pay one-third of the tax. If elec
ted it shall be my policy to keep tax
es as low as possible. Th state should
practice economy.
"I would favor a law making it
possible to recall judges decisions;
that is, if the supreme judges should
decide, that a law is unconstitutional
their decision could be referred to the
people to he voted on the same as any.
other referendum measure to decide
whether it should be declared uncon
stitutional or not. When I wrote the
Permanent Registration Law, which
was later declared unconstitutional,
I knew I was treading upon danger

demand for such a law at the time
it was written.
."I stand for proportional represen
tation, which would give each politi
cal party its fair share of representa

to all kinds of special privileges.
I belivee we should use our credit to
build good roads from the market to

CLACKAMAS COUNTY PEOPLE
HAVE ENTHUSIASTIC CONFAB
SURE OF SUCCECS
WILL PROFIT BY PAST ERRORS
Schuebe! and Spence Will Be Stan,
dard Bearers For The Drys, and
Hard Fight Will be Made
On Friday, June 26, in answer to
a call issued by the commitee in
charge of the interests of the Pro
hibition workers of this vicinity de'e
gaies from all parts of the county
gathered at Woodman hall in Oregon
City and formed a permanent organ
ization with a campaign committee of
12 members, who will have charge of
the work with power to appoint sub
committees. The meeting, which continued from
10 A. M. until 4;30 Pt M., went on
record as unanimously favoring state
and national prohibition. Several
prominent workers from over the
State were present and delivered stir
ring addresses with many good sug
gestions for practical application.
The many successes of the drys over
this state and United States have
been the result of practical methods
of political action learned by tb fail
ures of campaigns of the past.
A Central Committee of 12 mem
bers was appointed as follows: G.
C. Brownell, Rev. T. B. Ford, C. G.
Spence, J. C. Haines, C. Schuebel, A.
J. Ware C. H. Dye and Mesdames
Wm. Eberly, E. B. Andrews, Geo. De
Bok, Robt. Miller and G. R. Wolfe.
C. H. Dye made an efficient chair
man and C. A. Lewis recorded the
proceedings. Thirty-six delegates
were present.
There was an urgent demand for
a dry candidate to'' run with Mr. C.
Schuebel for the legislature and in
search for the best man for that place
Mr. C. E. Spence of Beaver Creek
was unanimously chosen as the stan
dard bearer, with Atty. Schuebel.
Mr. Spence is at present Master of
the State Grange and one of Oregon's
staunch farmers.
" Arrangements are being made for
a thorough practical working organi
zation and nothing can satisfy their
unceasing labors but an overwhelm
ing majority for a dry Oregon.
The committee in charge of the
meeting was: Dr. T. B. Ford, Mrs.
Delia Green and S. Macdonald, the
prohibition worker. Short addresses
were made by C. G. Spence, P. W.
Meredith, Editor of the Equity So
ciety, G. C. Brownell and others.

MANY NOTABLES EAT ICES AND
CONTEST FOR ORATORICAL
HONORS
ENTERTAIN TWO "GOVERNS"
Fair Ladies Spread Magnificent
Feast For Their Lordly Masters,
The Men
Those who were so fortunate as to
be present at the monthly meeting
of the Congregational Broherhood in
the parlors of that church on Tues
day evening, can certainly make no
complaint of the entertainment they
received. The music was good; the
food was excellelnt and plentiful; the
waitresses were whatever ' is the
proper word adorable, charming,
gracieux; the oratory was superb;
and the wine was absent; but there
was abundance of ice cream
And more than that
Could scarce be asked
Of any feast!
The large dining room of the
church was filled with guests and as
soon as these had finished eating and
drinking, and were filled with the
bounteous repast, C. A. Miller,
brotherhood president and master of
ceremonies, arose to his introductory
speech, which was delivered in hid
usual pleasing manner.
Dr. Withycombe entered ''the lists
as star attraction in the oratorical
tournament which follolwed, and he
delivered an excellent non-political
speech of about 20 minutes length,
eulogizing Oregon, and especially that
part of Oregon lying in the Valley of
the Willamette, and especially that
part of the Willamette Valley tra
versed by the Oregon Electric rail
way. ,
"Oh, my friends, this is a beauti
ful country. But our first duty is
our ctizenship. ' We are bringing in
to this country a million aliens a year
Some of them not the most desir
able perhaps; yet in spite of this we
have kept, our citizenship up to a
very high standard superior to any
in the world. Our great problem is
the wage earner. Strikes are terribly
costly. The next gr eat movement
in this country will be to settle the
labor question. Agriculture is our
great opportunity. You have here
2,500,000 , acres e agriculture land
which cannot be grubbed because the
cost of labor is too high. Solve the
problem of cheap money by estab
lishing the rural credit system. The
farmers of this country must bor
row $500,000,000 for which they have
to pay 8 per cent rural credit
would furnish them the money at 5
per cent. Agriculture 'is the master
science. It offers us a-bounless op
portunity. Still our great problem
is citizenship."
Rev. H. N. Smith, wh is sustitut
ing the regular pastor Rev. Edwards,
recited a yarn which caused much
merriment.
Dr. Wm. M. Proctor, now dean of
Pacific University at Forest Grove,
was the prodigal son who returned
for the occasion to meet with his old
congregation and help them devour
the fatted calf. He outlined the
work of the University and explained
how the schools and colleges of the
country were developing a new ideal
of citizenship.
"There have been three stages of
development in America: first, the
period of self -discovery (1776 to
1870); second, the period of exploit
ation (1870 to 1900); third, the period
of human interests ( 1900 ) in which
we are beginning to learn the need of
conservation of natural resources and
the development of agricultural pos
sibilities." But the human resources
are our greatest asset.
Dr.- T. B. Ford made an impromptu
speech which not only proclaimed him
an orator of the first rank, but in
dicated that had he essayed to write
genuine American humor, a la Mark
Twain, instead of following the min
istry, it would be for the great Miss
ourian to look to his laurels. Indeed
Dr. Ford confessed that he had once
lived in Missouri, and had practiced
his first sermon upon a congregation
of 6 Missouri mules. This is an im
provement upon Demosthenes, the
Greek, who practiced upon the sea,
which could only speak, not hear.
Finally he eulogized beautiful Ore
gon City in phrases of absolute elo
quence! Hon. W. S. U'Ren, taking sides
against A former speaker who had
mentioned the wealth to be made
on the farm, said he was born on an
American farm, had tried farming
and found it a magnificient failure
as a producer of millionaires. He
suggested that some way should be
found to assist the thousand of poor
boys who are struggling against
heavy odds to make a success of
farming.
"We must help the poor fellow who
is down and discouraged. The oppor
tunities of life should be made avail
able for all alike.
"In all my travels, and I have
traveled over a good deal of territory
I never saw any land so beautiful
as the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
I believe it is more nearly like Eden
than any other spot on earth. It is
our duty to make it an Eden."
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye spoke in ap
preciation of the good government
which the men ol Oregon bad main
tained during the tfme before the
women acquired their suffrage rights,
"We women have the ballot now,
and we intend to vote for what we
think is right, and to sustain the
measures we think best.
Hon. Gilbert Hedges was the Aris
to tie of. the occasion, and had he
lived 22 centuries ago there can be no
doubt he would have given the Greek
scholar a close race for the intellec
tual championship of the world. His
speech bristled with profound polit
ical philosophy:
"I have been in 28 states, and also

MR. U'REN'S OPEN LETTER
Efforts To Smoke Republican Candidate Out of His
Political Log Yield More Sport Than Was
Anticipated
AN OPEN LETTER , AND A REPLY
U'Ren to Mr. Withycombe- "
(From The Oregonian.)
OREGON CITY, Or., June 22.
(An open tetter.) Dr. James Withy
combe, Corvallis, Or. Dear Sir: Are
you in favor of state and national
prohibition ot th manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors? Your
speech last night at the Methodist
Church in this city was very inter
esting, but you did not say , where
you stand on this question. Perhaps
this was an oversight, because you
told us you had caused the discharge
of one of your subordinates in the
state's service for entering a saloon,
and you promised to enforce the laws
if you are elected.
If you are m favor of state and
National prohibition, will you join
with Dr, Smith of the Democrats, Mr.
Gill of the Progressives and myself
of the Prohibitionists, ali being can
didates for Governor, in publicly ad
vocating the Oregon dry amendment
and national prohibition? The issue
cannot be evaded in this campaign.
Such a public declaration on your
part will take the liquor question out
of partisan politics in this state and
very greatly increase the majority for
the adoption of the Oregon dry
amendment in November. ' You are
to be congratulated on having the op
portunity to render so great a public
service. Sincerely yours,
W. S. ,U'REN.
OUR CRITIQUE OF THE OREG OMAN'S COMMENT ON ABOVE
LETTERS
Dr. Withycombe has made reply
to Mr. U'Ren's open letter and the re
sult is precisely what most people
residing in this plebian community
had guessed it would be A MAG
NIFICENT STRADDLE.
Says the Oregonian of Wednesday
morning:
Mr. Withycombe's answer to
Mr. U'Ren's letter is precisely
what it should have been. Mr.
U'Ren called for a public reply
tn a nupshinn ns to whether Mr.
Withycombe is for prohibition.
Does Dr. Withycombe and the Ore
gonian think the people of this state
are so dense and simple they will be
deceived bf this hollow sham ?
Evidently so; for the Oregonian
continues:
It was a very skillful trap,
into which Mr.! Withycombe de
clined to step.
It WAS a clever trap. So clever
indeed that the very wise Oregonian
and the very unwise Withycombe
put their respective feet into it very
nicely.
Says the wise Oregonian;
The Republican party has not
declared for or against prohi
bition, and Mr. Withycombe
has no right to commit it, as
its candidate, to one side or
the other.
Very true Mr. Withycombe has
no rights. He is entirely under the

Everything in Readiness for 21st Annual Assembly
Program Undoubtedly Best Ever Given
Campers Coming by Hundreds
Chautauqua opens next Tuesday at
Gladstone Park, for its annual 13
day assembly.
Everything points to the greatest
session ever held at Gladstone, and
htingly so, for the 1914 Chautauqua
will represent the 21st birthday of
this time-tried, pioneer institution.
Every public-spirited citizen in
Clackamas County should be proud
of the record of old Gladstone Chau
tauqua. It has wielded a big influ
ence in the development of a better,
as well as a bigger, citizenship, in
this vicinity, and the fact that it has
lived to a ripe old age, and is today
in a most flourishing condition, is the
best evidence that the efforts of the
local men and women behind the
movement, have been well rewarded.
But completely laying aside all
sentiment, the program to be staged
next week is the best ever, undoubt
edly. Star attractions and countless
other features, make up the broadept
program ever offered. Promise of
"fair skies," real Chautauqua weath
