PORTLAND. Sept. 11. Arraigning
lioth of the old parties as corrupt and
boss-ridden, Theodore Roosevelt, nom
inee of the Progressive party for pres
ident, in an address before an aud
ience estimated at 9000 people, one
third of whom were women, at the
Gipsy Smith Auditorium this after
noon, commended the new "party as
the only hope of the people for solv
ing the social and economic problems
of the day. Roosevelt spoke for 70
minutes and, although' his audience
was a sympathetic and responsive
one, he teemed to lack the fire and
enthusiasm in his, delivery that has
characterized his former appearances
here.
Roosevelt introduced his address
.with an invitation to the voters, re
gardless of past political affiliations,
to unite with the Progressive party,
which he said embraced the Democra
cy of Jackson and the Republicanism
of Lincoln.
"Nominally we are flgnting two par
ties, but in reality, there is only one,"
he said. "We are fighting the same
representatives of the same interests
in both of the old parties. It will be
the purpose of the Progressive party
to dispense with the bosses. We will
not do away with the bosses but
we will destroy the conditions which
have made boss-ship practicable.
These conditions are being perpetuat
ed by both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties through improper al
liances, with the representatives of
crooked business."
Disclaiming any selfish interest in
assuming the leodership of the new
party, Roosevelt repeatedly during
his address reminded his auditors that
the pending contest was their fight.
He denied emphatically tbat the Pro
gressive party movement was a one
man issue and declared that if it was
he would not be identified with it.
The new party, he said, was bound to
come because of the inability of the
old parties to cope with the situation
and give to the people an administra
tion tuat was responsive to their de
mands. COPYRIGHT UNO&RWOOO UNOERWOOO. M.
Tdeodore Roosevelt as He Looked
Wednesday Afternoon, While Mak
ing His Great Speech.
Hurling bitter invective, and snap
ping his words out with a trip-hammer
vigor, Colonel Theodore Roose
velt grilled the five Oregon delegates
to the Republican National conven
tion at Chicago last June, in hisr
speech at the Multnomah Hotel at li
i
He said those five men who voted
for Taft in the convention after they
had been sent to the convention pledg
ed to him (Roosevelt) were nothing
but traitors to their party, their state
x and to the Oregon system; that they
completely nullified the work of the
entire delegation of 10 men, and that
the people of Oregon might just as
well not voted at the primaries at all.
Roosevelt warmed up to his subject
with energy and he was constantly in
terrupted with applause as he de
nounced the five traitors as he called
them.
."I had no time to come out to Ore
gon and take part in the primaries
here last spring," he said in launch
ing into the theme which he called
the most vital breakdown of the en
tire Oregon plan.
"I should like to have done so and
I was greatly surprised, and pleasant
ly so, when I learned that the primar
ies had "resulted in my favor. I had
supposed when the ten delegates had
been chosen by the voters for Oregon
under your presidential primary system-
and that meant they would go to
Chicago and cast their vote for me,
but what happened?
"This is what happened, my friends.
Five of those men cast their votes in
Buch a way that the work of the en
tire delegation was nullified. These
men proved that they were traitors,
and I want to say to you that you
might just as well not have voted at
your primaries here last Spring."
Roosevelt spoke in this vein for
nearly half his allotted time and he
had, apparently, every one of the 1200
or 1500 people who jammed into the
hotel lobby and on the mezzanine
floor with him. The - very building
shook with shouts and the air ffutter
ed with hundreds of brilliant bandan-

The handsome new home of the

ists of Gladstone, kindly donating the
flowers and ferns.
The Elk's home in this city is prob
ably one of the finest lodge homes in
the state, and those having charge of
the construction, as well as the fur
nishings, are deserving of much cred
it for their work.
The guests, upon arriving in the
Elks' home were met by the reception
committee, who escorted them
through the hallways and into the dif
ferent rooms, and all were given a
most cordial welcome. The Elks are
proud of their building, and the visi
tors were proud of the building also,
and extended- congratulations to the
members of the lodge for their efforts
in securing one of the finest homes on
the Pacific coast.
The reception committe was com
posed of members from the various
committees that were influential in
establishing the home in this city and

E. L. Shaw was notified early Wed

had tried to hold up a freight train
at Woodburn and was headed in this
direction. The Marshall of Wood

LATOURETTE TO COACH
OREGON CITY ELEVEN
A meeting of all football fans will
be held Friday night to perfect ar
rangements for the team to represent
Oregon City on the gridiron map this
season. Several of the members of
last year's team will be back in the
harness, including "Buck" Carothers,
Pete Long, Auk Smith, "Fuzzy" Mont
gomery, Fred "Bustles" and "Dutch"
Firman." The two Silers have signi
fied their intention of coming out but
it is feared that "Monty" will be un
able to play on account of a serious
illness the past four months. "Pike"
White is another who may not be
able to partake in the weekly celebra
tions on Canemah field, owing to his
present position with the Oregon
City Transportation Company. "Mott"
Roos says the one who beats him out
for quarter will have to "go ome."
The hope for another "unbeatable"
team for this season was strengthen
ed when it was announced that "Sap"
Latourette, greatest of all Oregon
quarters, would be head coach for the
Falls City eleven. He will be ably
assisted in his work by "King" Cole.
Cole is the man who turned out the
eleven last year, a team that never
had its goal line crossed.. They met
the best teams in the state and prac
tically "cinched" the amateur cham
pionship of Oregon at 147 pounds. The
team this year will probably average
150. or 155 pounds) All candidates
desirous of glory on the gridiron are
asked to communicate with either
Pete Long or "Buck" Carothers as
early as possible.
