Caavoai of the Employes of Wolff fc

Pacific Mills.
Out of 100 -workmen, mostly skilled me
chanics, who are employed at the Wolff
& Zwicker Iron Works, nearly 75 will
vote for McKinley. In fact, nearly all
of the men interviewed yesterday In a
walk through he shops avowed their sat-
isfaction with existing conditions, and
said they had no wish for a change.
""I don't know why I should vote for a
Democrat for President," said one ma
chinist. Four years ago, when we had
a Democrat for President, the only job I
could get was the work of a common
laborer at $1 TiO a day. I knew my trade
as well as I do aiow, and was just as
able to work at it, but there wasn't any
work to be had. For the last three years
I nave found all the work I want at
good wages. There is no reason why I
should vote for a change, as I can see."
Said another man, a blacksmith's help
er: T don't know what all the men in
the shop think or how they will vote, but
I do know of half a dozen that will vote
the Republican ticket because they are
afraid, that if Brya is elected there wiH
not bo a machine shop running in a year
or two. Tou can count on the man who
nas to work for what money he s&ts to
vote the -way -he thinks It will do him
tho most good, and If all the shops shut
down, what good is free silver going to
do a man who can't get hold of any of it
because he can't get any work? Work
ingmen, as a rule, know what it is to go
around from place to place and hunt a
job, and it is no fun, especially if you
havo a family dependent on you.for sup
port. If I should get out of a job here
because a contract a lot of men were
working on was finished, I know where
I could go and get another job, and
there is not a man in the shop that
would be Idle more than a week if this
shop should shut down tomorrow. But If
It had shut down four years ago, I don't
know where a single man could have
found anything to -do. "Worklngmcn may
not have gone to school quite as much as
some fellows that havo white-collar jobs,
but thoy lenow which side their bread is
buttered on."
A sheetrnefcal worker said: "This is a
Shipbuilding firm, sind the success of one
of its big departments -depends on the
number of ships, it can get to build. I
look at it this way; If we keep the
Philippine ther is going to be a whole
lot of ships needed to do business be
tween them and this coast, and It will ba
cheaper to build-them here than to buy
them, on the Atlantic seaboard. Ships are
sura to be built here and It stands to
reason that some of them will be built by
his concern, for it Is just as well fixed to
build ships as any firm on the Coast. If
it bu'lds more ships I get steady woric
Tttiere Is tho reason I am going to vote
for 3ScKinlcy.
'On the other side of tho question, it
we do not hold the Philippines, it is
going to hit tliis Coast good and hard,
and it Is more than likely that every shop
will reduce its force. I am a new man
here, and if the force is reduced I shall
be one of tho first to go. That Is the
Bryan side -of it."
"I am going to vote for McKinley,"
said a moulder, "not because I am a
Republican, for I voted for Bryan last
year, but 'becauso I was taught to be
lieve that the men who went to war and
fought for the flag were good American
soldiers. Bryan this year seems to be
telling it around that they are cut
Ihroats. I know a good many of the
men who were with the Second Oregon,
and I do not knew, one of tJhem who will
vote for Bryan. We are American citi
zens over here. Some of us came from
Germany, and others are of German pa
rentage, but we are Americans now, and
we believe in supporting our country, and
not teaching our children that the Presi
dent is a traitor."

did in Cleveland's Administration for the
same work.
The foregoing covers the reasons that
were advanced in response to questions,
It being the prevailing argument of the
McKinley men that they are getting good
wages and there is plenty of work. Many
of the men who will vote for McKinley
this year have been Democrats' all tKelr
lives, and have never voted the Republi
can ticket, but will do so this year be
cause they believe it 13 to their interest.
A good many of them have known what
it is not to be able to find any work, and
they do not care to repeat the expe
rience. Canvass of a representative sawmill:
McKinley, 31; Bryan, 9; declined to give
preference, 25; Woolley, 1; not eligible to
the franchise, 14.
Yesterday a reporter canvassed the
men employed at the North Pacific Lum
ber Mills, in North Portland, in order
to see how they stood in regard to Mc
Kinley and Bryan. A sawmill is not "the
most convenient place in the world in
whichto approach men on their political
preferences, and this canvass was made
in the middle of the afternoon, when the
saws are humming through huge logs,
being loaded on to giant carriers after
the long slide up tho Incline from the
rafts in the river. There is no still place
around a sawmall, and even out in the
yards great trucks of lumber were mov
ing as though they had the right of way
over all creation, and the man who ap
proached the workers to open a conver
sation did so at the risk of life and
limb.
In tho office of the company all was
easy sailing, and the question, "Bryan
or McKinley?" was met promptly with
the reply: "McKinley," except from one
of the clerics, who said "Bryan," but this
last man followed the reporter out into
tho yard and explained: "I was only
joking; put me down for McKinley."
There are 200 men working in and
about the North Pacific mills, but a
large proportion are out on the log
rafts, where no one but a raftsman could
go without danger of. "falling off a log,"
as these big timbers are being pushed
and rolled in the water by the workers.
All the reporter could do in this instance
was to hold up his paper and pencil and
yell: "Bryan or McKinley?" "McKin
ley, first, last and all the time," one
would answer, while another would re
ply: "Oh, I'll vote for both." Thts lat
ter individual would be placed in the
doubtful column, though in one Instance
a raftsman said: "There's nothing doubt
ful about me, my friend; I'm for Mc
Kinley." The policies of those who declined te
express themselves could not bf e-nftssed
j at, but a second man who at first re
fused, was broached again in a dif-
ferent part of the yard. "I told you once
i it was nobody's business how I vote, but
I I voted for McKinley four years ago, and
I'm not sorry for it." Still another who
was approached again said: "My friend,
I keep my politics to myself, but I am a
Prohibitionist." This -was the -only vote
for Woolley In the yards.
Those who positively declined to show
their colors appeared to do so more from
resentment than from any fear in the
matter. The Australian ballot system
has taught the people secresy, no matter
upon which side of the fence they are,
and a large proportion of workingmen
have evidently decided to let politicians
do the talking until election day, when
the ballots would be cast as silently as
tlie situation had been studied. That a
large majority of the laboring men of
Portland are for a continuance of the
present conditions goes without saying.
The days of depression, during which they
could get no work to do. at any price,
are too recent to be forgotten.
The reporter followed down through
long lanes of freshly sawed lumber; he
climbed up into sawdust bins and over
piles of wet slabs, to yell Into the ear of
some surprised worker: "Bryan or Mc
Kinley?" He rode on the great log
carriage to catch the ear of the man
with the cant hook, who was bracing
himself against a heavy log being cut
Into great boards by the giant circular
saw. with its deafening buzz. "Bryan
or McKinley?" "What?" The question
would be repeated, with the Information
that The Oregonlan was making a can
vass of the 'hands, but the great log
never stopped, and the answer, If at all,
would have to come quickly.
When the reporter again reached the
office of- the company his clothes -were
covered with sawdust and his ears still
rang with the buzz and hum of the
mills. He found that 31 had voted for
McKinley, 9 for Bryan; 25 had refused
to manifest themselves, 14 could not
vote, and 1 was a Prohibitionist.
Of" those not eligible, 6 had not. yet
been naturalized and 8 residents would
not be entitled to vote because of re
cent arrival. Several of the latter were
for MciKnley and were not ashamed to
say so, but regretted their Inability to
give the man of their choice a boost at
this election.
The Bryan men. as a general thing,
would view the questioner askanse, tak
ing his measure from head to foot, to see
if Mark Hanna's brand was not on his
clothing somewhere, and then came the
word "Bryan," with an expression that
meant, "I don't care if I do lose my
job by it." These men would be reas
sured that the canvass was being made
solely for the purpose of indicating the.
political drift of the city and that no
man's name would be used in figuring up
the totals.

ter's Little Liver Pills are a specific for

taken high rank as a firm and eloquent
advocate of the principles of his party.
As General Carr Is the last speaker to
be sent out to the Coast by the Repub

ers are making every effort to welcome
him with the largest demonstration that
has greeted an orator during the can
vass. As a feature of the evening's pro
gramme, Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Port
land's favorite soprano, has been secured
to sing patriotic songs, opening and clos
ing the meeting. Speaking will begin at
8:15 P. M.
F. "W. Mulkey, president of the Multno
mah County Republican League, will pre

by W. S. Dunlway, secretary of the Re-

publican State Central Committee, and
F. "W. Mulkey, president of the county

escorted to the Tabernacle by the Rough
Riders' Club, who will turn out for a
parade, led by the Third Regiment Band,
at 7:15 P. ILL, under Captain McDonnell.
The Rough Riders are now completely
equipped with uniforms, flambeaux, cym-,

ice, he returned to this country four years
ago to take an active part In the cam
paign that resulted in the election of
William McKinley. General Carr is now
64 years old, but still eloquent and vigor

GHOST WAS LAID.
Terrorized. Neighborhood Once More
nt Peace.
A ghost which has been loitering
around tho neighborhood of Seventeenth
and Gllsan streets, distributing gray hairs
In bunches on the heads of the residents
of that peaceful neighborhood and har
rowing up the souls of the children who
congregate thereabout these Indian Sum
mer evenings, has been permanently laid,
much to the satisfaction of all concerned,
inoludlng the ghost The spook never
appeared to any one In Its foggy nerson.
Its method of terrorizing the neighbor
hood lay In a harsn chime whistle, which
It hlew lustily every night at four minutes
after 9, and in tie hurrying footbeats
which dt left echoing along the street
exactly -three minutes after the whistle
was blown.
Had the spirit appeared unaccompanied
by either whistle or footbeats, or had it
made Its presence known at any hour
WHO SPEAKS HERE TONIGHT.
other than four minutes after 9, it
might never have attracted any attention,
but Its methodical habits arid regular
hours began to lead people to take no
tice of it and to listen for its coming
while the fire burned low on the hearth,
and tho wild wind moaned overhead. It
never failed to come, and the thing be
gan to be monotonous. Its whistle
sounded regularly every night and Im
mediately thereafter it could be heard
making Its escape at a 10-second clip.
People began to compare notes about
it, and to plan to shoot it the next time

It came around. They met in parties to
listen for It, and to rush out after it had
passed to look at the . black night In
the hope, or rather the fear, that Its
phosphorescent form would loom up and
throw them Into fits. They did every
thing In fact but wait for It, a plan
which did not occur to any of them till
last night, when one of the ghost-hunters
emerged from the front door of his
residence at 9:03, and lighting a cigar
sat down to look for the ghost
At 9:04 it came along. It wore knick
erbockers and a small cap. It carried
over its shoulder a sack which contained
San Francisco newspapers, and these It
distributed at several houses, blowing its
whistle once as a notification for all its
customers. The watcher was relieved to
learn that the ghost was not a ghost
after all, but the shock he suffered when
he saw the messenger boy running prob
ably did him more harm than if he
had come face to face with the shade
of Captain KIdd.
MORE LETTER-CARRIERS.
Portland's Force Will Be Increased
by Seven Men.
Postmaster Croasman has been notified
that the department has allowed an in
crease of seven In the number of car
riers connected with the Portland post
office. This ds not nearly so many as
had, been hoped for, and the whole seven
will be needed for the regular routes
now established, and It will be Impossible
to extend the free delivery to outlying
portions of the city which have long
been clamoring for it To do this would
require at least 10 more carriers. Post
master Croasman is considering the prac
ticability of having a strip from Pied
mont and "Woodlawn to Sunnyslde made
a district and the rural delivery system
established there.
Sellvrood Wants a Station.
A majority of the people of Sellwood
are desirous that the postofflce at that
point Should be changed io a station,
and become a branch of the city postof
flco. Sellwood is a part of the City of
Portland, and yet the fact of there being
a postofnee bearing that name gives an
impression that it is still outside the city.
Those who have looked into the matter
are of the opinion that a free delivery
dlstlct can easily be made, which would
take In some portion from Station A on
the south and give the people living at
Sellwood the advantage of free delivery.
A mall Inspector a 'year and a half ago
looked over the territory, with a view
to making a station at Sellwood. and
expressed himself favorably, but the cow
question came up and raged for a long
time. Every one was more or less mixed
up In that question and the station prop
osition was dropped, but that is out of
the way now. There are still a few liv
ing at Sellwood who cherish the hope
it may some time be cut out of Port
land. These are said to oppose the pos
tal station, but aiey had as well give
up that dream, as Sellwood will not be
able to get a divorce. A postal atatlon
will no doubt take the place of the post
ofHce sooner or later, and a petition from
the people would hasten it.
INDIANS FOR M'KINLEY.
Siletx Braves Will Support the Ad
ministration. That the Indians of the Siletz reserva
tion are solid for McKinley Is the report
of A. Kraus, manager of the Portland
Art Company, who returned yesterday
from Toledo. Of all the Indian citizens of
the reservation only two are for Bryan,
according to Indian Agent Buford. Ihe
Indians are prosperous and happy, living
with all the comforts of civilization, and
they are enthusiastic for President Mc
Kinley, saying that he has done more
for them than all the other previous ad
ministrations combined. To support Bry
an on the reservation is treason. Scott
Lane, the leader of the Indian reserva
tion, is a strong McKinley worker.
"While In that part of the state, Mr.
"Kraus was interested in sounding the po
litical sentiment of the people with whom
he came In contact. In all the hotels
from Toledo to Portland ho tabulated the
votes of the guests, showing an over
whelming McKinley sentiment. The total
of the straw vote taken, was 864. McKin
ley was the choice of 6S5; Bryan of only
179. The men voting were from fvery
walk of life, and the prosperity argument
was the one which seemed most effective.
Incidentally on tho trip Mr. Kraus went
out with a party that killed six deer six
miles from Norton.

who has a number of houses under con
struction, said yesterday there never had
been a time when so many were figuring
on building In the Fall as at present.
His time yesterday forenoon was occu
pied with talking to prospective builders,
who will surely build after the election,
provided McKinley Is re-elected, but prob
ably will not If Bryan bo elected. At
any rate, they would not come to a
definite conclusion until after the election.
They seemed afraid to proceed with the
contracts until the election Is over and
settled. "It Is my Impression," remarked
the contractor, "that If McKinley Is
elected this Fall will witness the
erection of more dwellings than at any
Fall before. Not since J have been ln
