Roosevelt s clean sweep of the New
Jersey primaries was emphasizied to -
day wnen late returns gave him small
but substantial pluralities in the few
districts about which last night's fig
ures left any doubt, and increased his
lead elsewhere throughout the state, j
He will have the state's 28 delegates
to the Chicago convention.
Governor Woodrow Wilson carried j
all but two of the twelve Congression- j
al districts and gained 24 of the 28
aeiegaies, including we aeiegaies-ai-;

"Uninstructed" delegates nominated Professor Freel. Many beautiful flow
by the anti-Wilson wing of the party l were received at DOtlr schools by
w vy large majorities in
" ,
sirongncms or tne element opposea to ;
the Governor and where he had no
hope of winning.
Incomplete returns on the vote for
delegates-at-large and the President-
ial preference indicated that Colonel ,
Roosevelt's popular Pluarlity for the
whole state would be about 15,000 and
that Governor Wilson s lead, based on
llic iui ucicgctLcs-iti.-ia.rgv was
about the same. ;
i-reeiuent an maue nis Dest snow-i
ins in the Third Fifth and Sixth
tricts, which include the New Jersey
coast towns, almost as far soul as
Atlantic City, and the counties lying
in the north central part of the state, !
most of them outside the commuting
zone.
Roosevelt's indicated pluraity in
those districts ranged from 400 to 600.
Colonel Roosevelt scored heavily in
the agricultural communities .of .south-1
em New Jersey and in the thickly-settled
towns and cities populated large
ly by voters who work in New York
His preference vote in Essex County,
next to the largest in the state, was
13,515, compared with 9186 for Taft
and 820 for La Follette.
, Governor Wilson won his most strik
ing victory in his home town, Mercer,
which contains Trenton ,the state cap
ital. The vote total for the Wilson
delegates-atMarge in Mercer was 2674,
compared with 371 for the anti-Wilson
nominees. The Republican vote in
this county was: Roosevelt, 3371; Taft
2465.
The vote in Newark, the largest city
in the state, with one district missing
gave Roosevelt 7206; Taft 5402; La
Follette 455. Democrats Wilson 3,
359; anti-Wilson 5945.
Former United States Senator Jas.
Smith, Jr., and former Democratic
chairman James R. Nugent ,who led
the fight against Governor Wilson,
live in Newark, and both were among
the four anti-Wilson delegates chosen".
The result exceeded the expectations
of the most enthusiastic Roosevelt
leaders. In some districts, Colonel
Roosevelt received 10 votes to every
one cast for the President.
The Wilson vote, as compared with
that of the opposition, was a stagger
ing blow to the antis, being in a ra
tio of about six to one. Some districts
went for the Governor as high as 20
to 1..
The Presidents had small pluralities
in four of the 21 counties of the state,
early returns indicated. He showed
his greatest strength in the farming
districts. In one of the factory towns
where he spoke yesterday, just before
the opening of the polls, he was beat
en 40 to 1.
The La Follette vote was a neglig
ible factor, not more than 2 per cent
of the entire vote cast.
The vote in nearly all parts of the
state was exceedingly light, several
counties casting less than half of the
rtotal registration at the last general
election.

jy THE BATTLE OYER AGAIN
NEW YORK, May 29. More than
1000 waiters, together with cooks and
other hotel workers, went on strike
at four large hotels after 7 o'clock to
night, leaving thousands of would-be
diners dinnerless or forcing them in
many instances to wait on themselves.
More than 600 waiters struck at the
Waldorf, where 1500 patrons were left
hungry. Three other large hotels
were involved, the Breslin, Rector's,
and the Gotham, with several small
ones. Unlike the day before, the pro
prietors of these hotels were able, in,
a degree, to keep things moving by ob
taining other help.
Interest centered mainly in the
strike at the Waldorf-Astoria. The
almost clean sweep of this hotel,
which at any other time would have
caused a complete paralysis of busi
ness, was negatived in large part by
the tactics of the proprietor, George
C. Boldt, who forced the issue at a
time when his hotel was least busy,
and when he was best prepared to
meet it.
It was around 6 o'clock when Mr.
Boldt returned from the hotel men's
meeting. He had heard the rumor
and the force was marshaled into the
ballroom.
Mr. Boldt told them what the hotel
proprietors had agreed to do and ask
ed if they were willing to accept the
terms. He was informed that as they
belonged to the union it would be nec
essary for them to go out unless the
union was recognized.
GEBHARDT TO HAVE
August Gebhardt of the Stafford
district, will be given a hearing at 10
o'clock Saturday morning in Justice
of the Peace Samson's court on a
charge of killing Robert Lindley, a
farm hand. The prisoner, who has re
tained George C. Brownell and Gordon
E. Hayes to defend him will plead not
guilty. He declares that he shot in
self defense and an ante mortem state
ment of Lindley is said to bear out
the prisoner's allegation. Lindley was
shot Sunday night at the Gebhardt
home following a "party at which beer
was served. Although the bullet
pierced his heart he lived nineteen
hours. The coroner s - jury returned
a non committal verdict to tne enect
that Lindley died from a gunshot
wound, the gun having been fired bj'
Gebhardt.

NOOSE ORDER LEASES
HALL FROM ELKS
At one of the most enthusiastic
meetings held by the Oregon City
Lodge No. 961, Loyal Order of Moose
it was decided Wednesday night to
lease the Lodge hall of the Elks. This
step toward advancement was receiv
ed by the brotherhood with rounds of
applause, when the cozy homelike ap
pearance of the proposed lodge room
was pointed out.
Another change of importance that
received the hearty approval of all,
was that jnstead of Wednesday even
ing the brotherhood meet on Thursday
at 8 o'clock sharp. One of the reas
ons for the change is that Wednes
day is the lodge night of the Portland
order.
The entertainment committee has
promised the organization something
out of the ordinary Thursday night
which will be in the form of a house
warming.
' About a score of members were bal-.
loted upon and about half that num
ber initiated at the meeting Wednes
day night and if the membership list
increases along its present ratio the
Loyal Order of Moose promises to
beat all records of fraternal organiza
tions in Oregon City.
BOOK AGENTS PAY
FOR "BEATING" HOTEL
Henry Jones and Joseph Johnson,
book agents, were taught a good les
son in this city Wednesday. They
spent Tuesday night in a hotel owned
by Buck Hutchinson in Canby and ear
ly Wednesday morning threw their
dress suit cases out of a window and
boarded a train for Oregon City with
out paying their board bill. Mr.
Hutchinson telephoned E. L. Shaw
that the men were on the train, and
Shaw placed them under arrest when
they reached this city.
"My Goodness,' said Jones, "We are
pinched."
"It's too bad," said Johnson, "and
is there not some way we can get out
of this thing without going to jail?"
Hutchinson, who arrived on the
same train, said he would not prose
cute the men if they would pay for
their lodging and all expenses. They
declared they would be delighted to
do this and handed the hotel man .
15. The amount due for lodging was
$2. ' '

to learn.

nesday evening was the most delight
ful entertainment ever furnished by
the school. The building was throng

chairs in the aisles to accommodate
the crowd. The pupils had been drill

English Literature, and their work
was not only creditable to themselves
but to Mrs. Cartlidge as well. The
play was of a lighter vein than ever
given before by the pupils of the
school, and was much more appreciat
ed than the, tragedies given hereto

Today the heroes of the Civil War
and their many friends will honor' the
memories of those of that great sec
tional strife who are dead. The ma
jority of those who participated in the
war have joined the silent bivouac.
The life spark has gone, but as long
as memory lasts in the living their
deeds of daring, their sublime patriot
ism will be inspirations for greater
achievement. Like the men who bat
tled under George Washington they
set an example which has made this
the greatest country on the face of
the earth. In this day of flying ma
chines, commercialism not to men
tion Titanic disaster this big day
of big things, both glorious and tragic,
we are not very prone to think of the
men who saved the nation, or when
we do think of them to think what
they really did. Oh yes, a Grand Army
man is liked, he is even loved, but
how many of us stop to think that he
marched for days at a time in all
kinds of weather, that he slept in the
fields, that he bared his breast to a
mighty foe? Chauncey Depew, form
erly a United States Senator of New
York, made an address when Grant's
tomb was dedicated on Riverside
Drive, New York City that will live
forever. Mr. Depew lauded General
Lee, the southern leader. He told of
Lee's ancestry, painted in glowing
words the great achievements of his
father, Light Horse Harry Lee, of Re
volutionary fame, told of the love his
people had for "Marse Robert," dwelt
upon the Virginian's work in the war
with Mexico, and said he was never
known to have overlooked a duty.
The picture was beautiful as painted
by the master orator. But there were
persons present, one of them the wid
ow of the great commander of the
northern armies, whose memory was
being honored, and the lauding of the
man who had been in direct opposi
tion to her gallant, brave and brilliant
busbanl. naturally did not appeal to
her or to them. But see how the ora
tor, Mr. Depew, in his peroration, fin
ished his picture.:
"An I tow great a man General,
Grant must have been to have defeat
ed and conquered such a man as Gen
eral Lee."
As long as there is history no finer
compliment will ever be paid any man
than was paid General Grant by Mr.
Depew at t,hat Riverside Drive dedi
cation. And General Grant was not born
with a silver spoon in his mouth. All
he achieved, all his glory was won by
him through honest effort. It was a
long step from his little farm in Mis
souri to Appomatox-to the presidency
of the greatest nation the world has
ever known.
This little story written about the
man who saved the nation, is not well
written, but the Contest Manager be
lieves there is something about it
which should appeal to the candidates
in the great automobile race. , If they
would only work one tenth as hard
as General Grant they would accom
plish wonders. The race closes next
Wednesday, and on this our National
Memorial Day let the achievements
of General Grant be your inspiration.
