"I am going to subscribe for the
Morning Enterprise. I find I cannot
get along without it and keep in touch
with the news. It is a live up-to-date
daily, and would be a credit to a city
much larger than this. It certainly did
have all the election news, and all
about the terrible wreck of the giatn
Steamship Titanic in which so many
lives were lost."
The above and similar expressions
of commendation of the Morning En
terprise were heard in many parts
of Oregon City and throughout the
county Saturday. The paper was in
the greatest demand and each copy
was read by at least a half dozen per
sons. All of which goes to prove that
the residents of this city and county
have awakened to the fact that not
only is a newsy newly paper being
published in this county, but it is
one of the best assets thS county has.
It is exploiting the county's resour
ces; it is putting money in the coffers
of the merchants who patronize its
columns. It is a forte. In fact the
city and county could not now get
along Without a daily newspaper. The
; demand for the paper was an evolu
tion; its proving tnat tne oemana ex
isted was an evolution. Its very ex
istance is working a revolution in
trade, and it will not be long until
every merchant in the city patron
iezs its columns. Most of them do
now, and those who do say well, ask
them as to the results.
But the Morning Enterprise does
not want to blow its own horn. In
fact it does not have to, and lias
called attention to the success of the
paper solely for the benefit of tho
candidates in the big automobile con
test who are doin gso much for ihe
residents of the city and county.
While primarily they are working
for themselves, they are encouraging
hundreds to read the news of the day
who have been getting bits out sec
ond hand. All of these persons would
have been subscribers of the Enter
prise eventually, but the contestants
placing arguments before them which
they cannot resist, are hurrying them
along. Henc this little band of
workers" for themselves and the pa
per are workers for the community
as well. ' -

Of Sea Tragedy Is

NEW YORK, April 20. With dra
matic suddenness the Senate inVesti
bation of theTitanic disaster came
to an end today so far as the New
York hearing was concerned. It will
be resumed, however, in Washington
on Monaay, when J, Bruce Ismay and
P. A. t. Franklin, the chief officials
of the White Stare line, and more than
a score of the officers and crew of
the sunken vessel will appear before
the committee.
Incident to the sudden close of the
hearing here was the story of Harold
S. McBrde, the second and only sur
viving wirelss operator of the Ti
tanic. -His tale was one of suffering and
death. He told of. the final plunge of
j the vessel of its ocean burial. The
manner of the captain's death also
was revealed. Captain Smith leaped
from the bridge when the water was
closing over his ship. '
In connection with the transfer of
the hearing to Washington, it was in
timated that the power of the Senate
over eFderal territory would be un
disputed in egtting at the real facts,
and no question of state rights could
rise to interfere.
Throughout the hearing this morn
ing the wireless operator, Bride, crip
pled as a result of his experiences
and seated in an invalid's chair, told
his story of the last moments of the
Titanic.

ROOSEVELT BEATS
TAFT BY 7,000
SELLING VICTOR OVER BOURNE
BY MORE THAN 8,000
VOTES
WILSON IS CHOICE Or DEMOCRATS
Dr. Harry Lane Defeats Pierce For
Senatorial Nomination Ol
cott Has Big Ma
. jority
The returns indicate that Theodore
Roosevelt has carried Oregon over
President Taft by about 7000 votes
and has obtained a plurality over Rob
ert La oFllette of about 5000.
Ben Selling has carried Oregon ov
er Senator Bourne by at least 8000,
according to presenlt indications with
the probability that the plurality will
run up to 8500.
These estimates are based on re
turns from all but fourteen precincts
in" Multnomah County, complete re
turns from Benton, Clackamas, Clat
soy. Hood River, Sherman and Was
co counties and more or less com
plete returns from every other county
in the state.
On the Democratic count it seems
certain that Woodrow Wilson has re
ceved the preference of the
Oregon voters for President and that
Harry Lane, will be the Democratic
candidate for Senator.
. Returns, received on the Republi
can ticket supply a total so far of
62,871 votes for President. Of these
Roosevelt has 25,034 and Taft 17,
986. The pluralities shown in the
partial returns are as follows: Roose
evlt over La Follette 5183, Roosevelt
over Taft 7044.
The aggreagte in the incomplete
returns on Senator for the State at
large is 62,427, of which Selling has
29,300, Bourne 23,222, Lowell 6923 and
Morton 2984. Selling is thus leading
Bourne by 6080 votes. Multnomah
and Jackson counties, where Bourne
obtained his principal pluralities ov
er Selling have reported practically
complete returns, so that the probab
ilities are that in the remaining count
Selling will increase his lead by 2000
to 2500 votes. These and the esti- .
mates, including those on President,
are based on a probable total Re
publican vote in Oregon of- 75,000.
In the second Congressional Dist
rict (Eastern Oreogn), N. J. Sinnott
has a lead of about 700 over W. R.
Ellis, who is second in the race.
Congressman Lafferty has beaten
Gantenbein by about 1,000:. -
The vote reported gives the follow
ing totals. Sinnott, 3386; Ellis, 2,-.
642; Cochrane, 2006; C. E Roosevelt.
E74; Jerry Rusk, 2153.
B. W. Olcott in the more complete
returns pulled away from F. S. Fields
in the contest for Secretarly of State
and undoubtedly is nominated. The
vote stands: Olcott, 30,905; Fields
28,106; Olcott's majority, 2799.
LABORING MAN WILL

The secies of addresses in the open
