Earl Rogers, Chief Counsel For De

. Appeal Assistant District
Attorney Scored
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14. Clarence
S. Darrow, regarded as one of the
foremost champions of organized la
bor and defender in the courts of its
leaders and principles, pleaded today
for his own liberty, reputation and
probably life in his trial for alleged
jury bribery. It was the most dra
matic moment of a long trial replete
.with thrilling incidents when Darrow
addressed the jury this afternoon at
the conclusion of Attorney Rogers' ar
gument, to make the final plea in his
own behalf.
At the outset he informed the jurors
that he would not appeal to their sym
pathy, against which they had been
warned by the District Attorney, and
there was not note of supplication in
his opening remarks. Instead the
Chicago lawyer poured torrents of
wrath and denunciation upon those
whom he declared had plotted to de
stroy him.
From an arraignment of his ene
mies Darrow went briefly into his ca
reer as a friend of the working class
es and thence into an analysis of the
evidence produced against him to
prove the charge that he had bribed
George N. Lockwood, a prospective
juror in the McNamara case.
Throughout the three hours con
sumed by him today he touched upon
every phase of the case and ran the
gamut of emotions in his plea. No
man or organization involved in his
prosecution was immune from his de
nunciation. Assistant District Attor
ney Ford, who sat within his reach,
was made the object of repeated
floods of invective; District Attorney
Fredericks and Detective Burns were
termed the tools of the Steel Trust
and the National Erector's Associa
tion, designated by Darrow as the
. arch-conspirator against him because
of his labors for the workingman, was
bitterly assailed as an enemy of so
ciety. "Gentlemen of the jury you
are asked to convict Clarence S.
Darrow, one of the leading figures of
the American bar, on the uncorrobo-

SALEM, Or., Aug. 14 With the
declaration of Governor West that he
will not be a candidate for re-election
the booms for gubernatorial honors,
which are springing up all over the
state, Sssume some general interest,
although the election for that office
is two years away.
Practically each time, in making
the. statement that he intends to re
tire from politics "at the end of his
presen term, Governor West has said
that there are some moral and politi
cal reforms which he desires to see
carried out. This is considered as a
posible loophole on his part to be tak
en advantage of if he ever does de
sire to run for re-election, but that he

to Become a Candidate for State
Treasurer.
has any desire of becoming a candi
date again at the present time seems
to be furthest from his thoughts.
The Republican field seems to be
fertile with suggested candidates this
early in the game. Friends of A. M.
Crawford, Attorney-General, state that
he will be a candidate for the office.
He neither affirms nor denies this re
port. For some years it has been con
ceded about the state capital that
the Attorney-General has been groom
ing himself to be in a position to run
for the Governorship when the psy
chological moment arrives and it is
understood that the Attorney-General
believes that the moment will be at
the election of 1914.
Friends of Sate Treasurer Kay
have frequently mentioned his name
as a logical candidate for the place.
They point out that his following in
running for State Treasurer and his
record in the State Senate would be
a good foundation for him to become
a candidate for Governor.
It has been rumored that a plan of
his friends is to put Kay forward as
a candidate for Governor and place
Thomas F. Ryan, of Oregon City, on
the ticket as a candidate for State
Treasurer to succeed Kay. Ryan is
now deputy to the State Treasurer.
He was considered a candidate in 1910
but withdrew and received the ap
pointment from Mr. Kay.
Mayor Rushlight, of Portland, is be
ing put forward by the labor leaders
of that city as a possible candidate
for Governor.
W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, is al
so being talked of as a candidate.
This, Mr. U'Ren takes exception to,
declinig to be quoted however. Some
have urged that Mr. U'Ren, in promot
ing a cabinet form of government,
which would give the executive prac
tically complete control of the state,
was looking forward to the time when
he might .be at the head of that cabi
net. This proposed cabinet form plan
has been relegated to the background
for the time at least, however.
When this suggestion was broached
to Mr. U'Ren on one of his recent vis
its to the capital, he merely shook his
head and smiled and again asked that
he be not quoted. While he is a pos
sibility as a 1914 candidate it is un
derstood he is far from being a prob
ability. George F. Rodgers, of Salem, is an
other of the many suggested possibil
ities. He was considered for some
time as a candidate for Representa
tive in the primaries last April, but
decided not to run. He has long been
a Republican but recently decided to
tie up his political faith with the Bull
Moose party.

B. LEE PAGET
B. Lee Paget, of Portland, candidate
of the Prohibition party for United
States Senator, visited Oregon City

tion of the Prohibition party's princi

ly recently included in the platforms
of the regular parties.

STEEL BILL PASSED
OVER TAFT VETO
PRESIDENT, IN LENGTHY MES
SAGE, SAYS MEASURE MEN
ACES WORKERS
SENATE WILL NOT SUSTAIN HOUSE
Tariff Board, Says Executive, Has
Made Study Of Schedules And
. Only Its Recommendations
Are Worth'"6upport,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Within
three hours after President Taft had
sent the steel tariff bill back to Con
gress, with" a message of disapproval,
the House today pased it over his ve
to. The veto was 173 to pass it, 83
against it and one present and not
voting. It is not expeced to re-pass
the Senate. .
In' a measure to Congress the Pres
ident said he disapproved the measure
because it provided for revenue only
and took no account of protection for
American industries. He condemned
the way and means committee for re
fusing public hearings on the bill. His
veto was expected.
Mr. Taft gave as another reason for
his veto that the bill affected not on
ly the iron and steel industry but 59
allied industries, which,' he said, were
worth separate classification.
Mr. Taft wrote he was not prepared
to say there were no items - in the
steel schedule which ought not to be
reduced, but he pointed out that its
ad valorem rate was an apparent re
duction of -5 per cent from the duties
of the Wilson law.
"A bill for a complete revision of
this schedule was presented to me a
year ago in the extra session of this
Congress,", wrote the President "Many
increases and decreases of rates are
now made from those named in the
former measure. The changes are
not explained and indicate the hasty
method pursued in the preparation of
both, ts it not fair to ask, either on
the basis Of protection or revenue,
which was right?
"On the whole,, therefore, I am not
willing to approve of legislation of this,
kind, which vitally affects not only
millions of working men and the fam
ilies dependent on them, but hundreds
of millions of dollars' worth of stocks
of goods in the hands of storekeepers
and distributors generally, without
first providing for a careful and dis
interested inquiry into the conditions
of the whole industry.
"From the outset of my administra
tion, I have urged a revision of the
tariff based on a nonpartisan study of
the facts. I have provided the means
for securing such information in the
appointment of a tariff board. Its
thorough work, already completed on
several schedules, has justified my
confidence in this method."
The President has said he also would
veto the legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill, carrying rid-,
ers to- abolish the Commerce - Court
and limit the tenure of office of civil
service employes to seven years. By
doing so, the President would hold

Musical Fletcher, the Dutch professor, with his funny, odd and old fashioned instruments is certain
ly a clever genius. The music and imitation, on a one-Btring broomstick fiddle are nicely rendered. The
music on several old bottles is beautiful. The imitation of a full brass band on a sprinkling can is good.

The Attractions Races To
Be Better Than Ever
Before
What promises-to be the most suc
cessful fair held in Clackamas Coun
ty will commence September 25, con
tinuing until September 28 inclusive.
Secretary O. DEby is busily engaged
in preparing an extensive program for
the four days' session. Attractive
posters have just been received, and
will be distributed throughout the
state. From indications there will be
many attractive features of this year's
fair.
- On the first day of the fair the Red
land band will furnish the music, and
one of the features of the evening will
be dancing for the campers, this to
take place on the second floor. On
September 26 the Hubbard band will
furnish the music, while on Septem

I for concession space on the grounds
! as well as in the large pavilion.
Among the granges that have already
applied for space are the Logan
grange, which won first prize last
year, and Warner Grange, which xfas
also awarded one of the prizes. It is
probable that Barlow will also be rep
resented again. Several business
houses will have exhibits.
The committee is making an effort
to get Theodore Roosevelt to speak
one day at the fair. Other prominent
speakers of the state are scheduled to
be at the fair to give addreses on
subjects that will not only be of int
erest but of benefit to the farmers and
other visitors at the fair. The races

WATER WORKS SYSTEM IS PLANNED
L. Snidow Elected Temporary
Chairman And B. T. McBain
Temporary Secretary
Forty Are Present
That the residents of West Oregon
City, Willamette and Bolton are wide
awake, ambitious and enterprising
was illustrated at a meeting of repre
sentative citizens of these places at
the Oregon City Commercial Club
Wedensday evening . Felicitating
themselves upon the building of a
new railroad into their territory by
the Southern Pacific Company, these
representatives decided it was time
for them to make an organized effort
to place before the world their re
sources and in order to make the ex
ploitation as far-reaching as possible
it was unanimously agreed that a club
should be formed. Two names for
the organization were suggested the
West Side Wide-Awake Association,
and the West Side, Bolton to Willam
ette Club.
About forty -men and women were
present when the meeting was called
to order. G. L. Snidow was elected
temporary chairman and B. T. Mc
Bain temporary secretary. Address
es were made by Mr. Moody, head of
the Moody Land Company; J. w. moi
fatt, J. W. Draper, George Hall and
B. T. McBain. Mr. Moody announced
that the company, which he represent
ed, having failed to obtain water from
Oregon City, would begin at once the
drilling of wells in West Oregon City
with the intention of establishing a
water system. The establishment of
a high school on the west side also
was discussed. Mr. Moffatt praised
the west side and said, the land was
superior to any in the tate or nation.
He made a motion that an improve
ment club composed of the residents
of Willamette, West Oregon City and
Bolton be organized. The motion was
carried by a unanimous vote. Mr.
Draper suggested that a committee of
five be appointed to draft by-laws and
perfect a permanent organization.
The following committee was ap
pointed: B. T. McBain, chairman; T.
J. Gary, J. W. Draper, J. W. Moffatt
and George Hall. The committee will
