Governor West Is Asked To Appoint
Commission To Work Out

Union
DALLAS, Or., April 25, (Special.)
Calling on Governor, West to appoint
a commission to look into all phases
and plans broached for the consoli
dation of the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural College,
a resolution was unanimously passed
here tonight at a mass meeting, pre
sided over by E. B. Piper, president
of the Portland Commercial Club.
The meeting immediately followed
the banquet at which Dallas was host
to the Portland excursionists who
left Portland early this morning.
Over 300 people attended the meet
ing held at the Courthouse. The reso
lution was introduced by W. K. New
ell, of Portland, and the sentiment
voiced was in effect that the appoint
ment of such a commission probably
would put to an end criticism often
heard and which has caused resent
ment at both institutions.
Among those who spoke at the
meeting were J. D. Lee, G. F. John
son, William Hanley, Rev. E.W. Miles,
Dallas; George Hyland, W. E. Prud
homme,' W. J. Kerr, president of the
Oregon Apricultural College; P. L.
Campbell president of the State Uni
versity and Mr. Newell. Only Mr.
Newell and Mr. Lee, who seconded the
resolution's passage, talked for the
commission plan.
When the matter was put to the
vote both President Kerr and Camp
bell voted in favor of the commission.
Following the meeting President
Campbell said:
"I think it a wise move and the plan
for the commission is the only logical
way to get at a feasible solution of
the problem which has been upper
most in the educational progress of
Oregon."
Citizens of McMinnville, Sheridan
and Dallas extended an enthusiastic
welcome to the business men of Port
land, who are en route to Corvallis
and the Oregon Agricultural College.

The announcement that he -Enterprise
would give $100 as second
prize in the subscription contest has
given impetus to the great vote gett
ing race, which is the topic of conver
sation throughout Clackamas County.
One or two of the candidates -have
informed the manager that they were
in doubt as to whether they could win
the automobile, inasmuch as they
were unable to devote all their time
to obtaining votes,- but the offer of
a second prize, which they feel sur
they will win, has given them an in
centive to work their hardest. They
have had such gratifying results that
there is a possibility that one of them
will win the automobile, although
there are at least four ahead of him
in the list of standings given above.
The candidates say the offer of
$100 as almost equivalent to a guar
anty that they cannot lose for all count
on being at least second in the race.
The money will be at least a fair sal
ary for the time they have devoted
to soliciting votes, and coming in a
lump sum will be doubly appreciated.
It is believed that all the candidates
will be in Oregon City working Boost
er Day, and late that afternoon will
deposit thousands of ballots in order
to take advantage of the double, offer.
Not one of the candidates should
overlook the double vote -proposition
for doing so would be equivalent to
throwing dollars in a raging sea. It
probably will be the last double vote
offer,' and to hold ballots in reserve
when they can be "cashed" for twice
their face value wauld be utter folly.
The offer undoubtedly will reveal the
true standings of the candidates, but
there will be plenty of time for the
strategists to show their generalship
after Saturday. As published before
the object of the double vote proposi
tion is to have all ballots received up
to date polled so that the judges will
not have the entire count thrust upon
them at the last minute.
FORBES PRAn AND
MISS HONA KING WED
Miss Mona Elizabeth King, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. King, of Mount
Pleasant, and Forbes Barclay Pratt,
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Pratt,
were married in St. Stephens' Chapel,
Portland, at 6:30 o'clock Thursday
evening, the Rev. H. M. Ramsey offi
ciating. After the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Pratt came to Oregon City and
informed the bridegroom's parents of
the wedding. They left early this
morning for California where they will
spend their honeymoon. While the
parents of the bride and bridegroom
knew they were engaged to be mar
ried, the wedding was a surprise to
them, for they thought it was not to
be solemnized for several weeks at
least. Mr. Pratt is employed by Mor
ris Bros., of Portland. He is of a
prominent pioneer family, as is the
bride.

PRESIDENT TAFT
COLONEL ACCUSED OF NOT PRE
SENTING FACTS IN TRUE
LIGHT
LARGE CROWD CHEERS EXECUTIVE
Speaker Declares Election Of Rival
Might Place Him In White
House For Rest
Of Life
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.. April 25
Bitter denunciation of Former Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt by the man
whom he put into the White House
today featured President Taft's first
appearance in the present campaign
as a lighting man, and he brought
forth hearty cheers from a big audi
ence, who fancied him in that role.
President Taft declared flatly that
he believed Roosevelt if again elected
would be almost" impossible to dis
lodge irom the White House and that
another term for the "Rough Rider"
might result in a lifetime dictator
ship. Answering Roosevelt's charges, Taft
recited the former president's third
term statement in 1904, and again in
1908. He gave Rooseevlt full credit
for electing him in 1908, and then
said:
"Neither in thought, word nor act,
have I ever been disloyal to the
friendship I had for Theodore Roose
velt." President Taft went at length into
Roosevelt's announcement of his can
didacy and his "charter of democracy"
delivered at Columbus. He continued:-
"
"His 'charter of Democracy' was in
effective, and so he attacked the ad
ministration and myself. Ever since
then he has been arbusing the admin
istration and accusing me. So far
as my personal feelings are concerned
I would not have replied, but I re
present the cause of that element
of the Republican party which believes
in the sacredness of the constitution.
Mr. Roosevelt has mislead many hon
est people to believe his charges, the
cause which I represent is entitled
' to defense."
President Taft then went on to an
swer Roosevelt's charges.
"He says," declared the president,
"that I favor the oligarchy of bosses,'
or 'represent the special interests,'
and that my administration has pro
duced nothing progressive, that I am
a reactionary and other charges too
numerous to mention."
Seeing the president for the first
time as a fighting man the crowd
cheered him throughout his speech
of one hour and thirty minutes, which
practically anticipated the address he
delivered in Boston.
"The renomination and reelection of
Roosevelt to a third term," said Presi
dent Taft, "would be dangerous. He
has frogotten the standards of the
square deal. He says the bosses are
supporting me. His definition of a
boss depends upon whom the boss
is supporting. If he is supporting
Roosevelt, he is a leader if he is
supporting me, he is a boss."
With his voice trembling with emo
tion the president concluded with a
warning to his hearer that in Roose
velt they are "in danger of a dictator
who, once he received the third term
would cling like a leech to the White

The president added :
"I am sorry to say it but Roosevelt
is a man of such strong personality,
a man of such strength of purpose
and who has so little regard for the
constitution for legal procedure, or
for the courts, that he is not to be

Sundergard Falls From Trestle And
Is Badly Hurt On Way
To Hospital In
Wreck
The damage suit of N. J. Sunder
gard, who after being injured by fall
ing from a trestle, was injured' aiain
in a collision while being taken to a
Portland hospital, against the Oregon
Electric Company is on trail before
Judge Campbell and a jury. The plaint
iff asks $25,000 damages.
Sundergard alleges that while he
was working for the defendant at Wil
son ville November 11, 1910 he was
pushed from a trestle by a car and
sustained an injury to his right leg.
He was placed aboard a train and
hurried to Portland. The train collid
ed with another after entering the
city and the plaintiff's leg which had
been injured in the first accident was
broken in several places. He asserts
that the collision was a head on one
and that he was thrown violently from
a cusion against a seat and the sides
of the car. Sundergard is permanent
liy injured and uses a cane in walk
ing. Judge Campbell decided that only
the suit against the company for in
juries received in falling from the
trestle could be tried in this county.
The suit for injuries received in the
collision will be heard in Portland.
An interesting phase of the litigation
will be the proof as to how serious
were the injuries resulting from the
second accident
Dimick & Dimick and H. Daniels
represent the plaintiff and George C.
Brownell, Howard Bennett and Har
rison Allen represent the defendant.

was walking with his mother and Mrs.
Margaret Lund when he fell under
the railing of the Canemah walk. The
jury figured the boy's natural expect
ancy of life at fifty-eight, and that
the interest on $1,000 for that length
of time and the principal would be
about what he would have earned had
