WHITE HIVER JUNCTION, Vt, Au&.
29.-enator Charles W. Falrbjuiks, of
Indiana, delivered his first formal speech
of the campaign here this afternoon.
large numbers of people from ail parts
of "Windsor County and from "Western
ICew Hampshire -were present. The dem
onstration was arranged particularly as
a welcome from the people of Windsor
County to the Indiana Senator, whose
father was born within its limits. Senator
Fairbanks' address was in part as fol
lows: The four years succeeding General
Harrison's defeat will not be soon for
gotten. They stand in sharp contrast
jwith the years of Republican administra
tion, both before and after. They were
four years of arrested development, of
panic and distress without a parallel in
American history. Field, factory and
mine suffered alike. Armies of unem
ployed throughout the country, hopelessly
seeking for an opportunity to work, re
gardless alike of either the number of
hours or the rate of wages. To many
from foreign shores who have since then
sought our hospitality, and to many of
the young jnen of our country, who for
the first time will exercise the highest
privilege of an American freeman this
may seem an overdrawn picture. There
are many of our countrymen who will
confirm it with testimony gathered in
their own hard experience.
"In 1S96 the American people resolved
to return to Republican administration
and to Republican policies. We came into
power pledged to overthrow the Demo
cratic tariff law and to enact in lieu of it
a genuine protective measure. In due
time we put upon the statute books the
Ulngley law. Prosperity returned and
spread her blessings among all sections
and all peoples within the ample limits of
the republic.
"Three years ago our great and beloved
leader in the contests of 1S96 and 1300 fell
at his post of duty. His successor has
since then administered our National af
fairs with conspicuous ability. He has
been an earnest student of the country's
needs. He has been conscientious and un
tiring in the discharge of his great re
sponsibilities. He has been inspired by
but one purpose, and that has been to do
well the work committed to his hands.
"Judged by any test we may supply, the
administration of President Roosevelt has
been eminently satisfactory. The last
three years have been years of exceptional
prosperity. Prosperity has not been con
fined to limited areas, but has extended
throughout the country.
"As in 1S92 the Democratic party now
denounces 'protection as a robbery of
the many to enhance the few,' and pledges
Itself to overthrow the Dingley law,
through a revision and reduction of the
tariff. What will be the result of such a
policy? We will find a most conclusive
answer in the four years of the last Dem
ocratic administration. Let the American
people take the Democratic platform and
the record. of the last administration in
one hand, and the Republican platform
and the record of the Republican admin
istration during the last three years in
the other, and pronounce their potential
Judgment."
Senator Fairbanks expects to return to
Hew England after his speech at Kan
Bas City, September 6. He will participate
In the Maine campaign. He also will de
liver an address at the annual dinner of
the Home Market Club in Boston.
Will Arrive In Chicago Today.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Senator Fairbanks
will arrive in Chicago tomorrow evening
from New England and will leave here
at 11:30 o'clock the same night for Marion,
Kan., where he will open the Kansas
campaign with a speech Thursday after-
soon.
HAND ON THE HELM.
Turner Makes the Democratic Chair
man a Figurehead.
SEATTLB, Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.)
George Turner, Democratic nominee for
Governor, has surrounded the state com
mittee, which he had no voice In choos
ing, with friends, and will be able not
only to dictate on all questions of politics,
but to know that his wishes will be car
ried out no matter where he may be.
Floyd It. Daggett, Turner's personal
representative on the state committee,
will be vice-chairman, and Henry Drum,
whom Turner preferred above all others
for Ueutenant-Governor, will be chair
man of the advisory committee. These
two men will be at the Democratic state
headquarters and their recommendations
to the de facto chairman, J. W. Good
win, will have all the prestige of the
Turner approval.
Turner came to Seattle two days ago
on a visit that combined business, poll
tics and pleasure. His business was con
nected principally with the Alaska Cen
tral Railroad, of which he is a director.
His politics had to do with the comple
tion of the organization of the Demo
cratic State Committee. His pleasure is
in buying, if the location pleases him, a
Summer home somewhere on the Sound.
He is to inspect a place near Tacoma.
The present Democratic committee, be it
understood, was elected in April. The
county committeemen were chosen by
their respective county committees under
a policy Inaugurated by Charles G. Helf
nor, who acted during one campaign as
state chairman. The selection in April
was designed to give the Bourbons an
early organization in- the state, and it ac
coraplished this purpose. A chairman was
chosen in May, when Turner was a can
dldate. Tor Vice-President.
The Line of Action.
It was realized at that time that Tur
ner would not be nominated for Vice
President; that the Republican State
Convention would turn down McBride,
and that Turner would be named by the
Democrats for Governor and be in line
for a Senatorship if one was loose. But
the state committee organized with Tur
ner insisting he would not accept the
Governor's nomination and upon inde
pendent lines.
J. W. Goodwin, of King, who was
elected chairman, was friendly to Turner,
though he lacked in state experience. At
that, Goodwin bad a varied career in
King County politics and is not a bad
man to pick up to head the state com
mittee. He is probably as good a man as
could have been chosen at the time. But (
us xact sucks out tnat ne was not a
Turner selection in the sense that he was
chosen to manage a Turner campaign.
There is no question In the minds of
the men who are familiar with Turner's
position - but that he would have pre
ferred the nomination of Henry Drum for
Lieutenant-Governor above that of any
other man. But Drum was not named.
Friends Put in Good Places.
All this Is introductory to the story of
yesterday's conference. Turner came here
to talk state politics with the chairman
of the state committee, whom he did not
choose. He discussed all phases of the
campaign and particularly the choosing
of an advisory board to direct the chair
man's action. He had his close friend,
Daggett, made "vice-chairman of the state
committee and given control over the. as
signment of speakers; then he had his
friend Henry Drum, whom he esteemed
close enough to himself to be named for
Lieutenant-Governor, chosen to head the
advisory board.
Under the plan of campaign that Tur
ner outlined, Daggett will come from
Spokane to take charge of the speakers'
bureau. He will have entire charge of
the pyrotechnic features of the fight, as
signing speakers where and when he wills.
Henry Drum will have a desk at state
headquarters to advise the chairman of
what he believes should be done for the
success of the Democracy.
Naturally with Daggett and Drum in
committee headquarters there will be lit
tle left for State Chairman Goodwin to
do, in an emergency, but accept their ad
vice, otherwise the Turner dictum, and
that is what is expected.
Keeps Plums to Himself.
There was a story printed in a Puget
Sound paper a short time ago to the ef
fect that Turner would give out an in
terview within a short time declaring
that under no circumstances would ho be
a candidate for United States Senator.
According to this story, the proposed in
terview was to be given for the purpose
of strengthening the legislative fight and
Turner's own canvass for Governor.
There will be no such Interview. Turner
is not going to make any announcement
of his future plana From the standolnt
of practical politics he does not believe it
necessary. From the more important
standpoint of ambition he believes it dan
gerous. There is a general feeling throughout
the state that Turner is eager to carry
the Legislature; that he cares nothing for
the Gubernatorial berth, but is making a
fight in the hope that he can be returned
to the United States Senate. Turner would
be put in the position of denying that he
would accept an election to the Senate if
hd denied the story, and this he will never
do. He said as much while he was here.
r Shut Out of a Seattle Banquet.
All the mix-up that has occurred over
the failure of Secretary Shaw to reach
Seattle in time for a banquet with the
Young Men's Republican Club Saturday
night could have been avoided, but it was
unexpected, and no one took precautions.
The original programme for this state
gave the Secretary two Idle days between
his Spokane and Seattle dates.
Senator Ankeny wanted him to visit
Walla Walla, and Senator Foster wanted
tho Secretary at Tacoma. The former
arranged privately for a Walla Walla
meeting and the latter for an address on
Sunday before the Y. M. C. A. As a re
sult the Seattle preparations for a ban
quet Saturday night and an elaborate en
tertainment Sunday had to be abandoned.
Mayor Whips Council Into Line.
Mayor Balllnger has all but won a com
plete victory over the members of the
City Council. Political ambitions sug
gested a Councllmanlc fight against the
executive, but the struggle was made on
ordinances and measures that Involved
questions of constitutionality in which the
Mayor had all the better of It. He refused
to accept the possibility of suing for terms
that was Intended to entrap him. and has
DroKen tne backbone of the opposition.
Tnere has been a falling away durintr
the past few days of the bitter ODnosItlon
to his programme, and it is likely that
the anti-Ballinger wing of the Council will
be brought completely under control with
in a short time. The fight has never had
very serious aspect, though it would
have involved factional differences In
county and state affairs had it not been
for Mayor Ballinger's refusal to make
terms. His tenacity spoiled a nrettv oo-
Utical maneuver..
Democrats in a Dilemma.
The Democratic State Committee has
been asked to allow George Turner
and Stephen Judson to deliver speeches
before the Yakima County Convention
next Saturday. To do so would be to
open the state campaign in Yakima,
something that had been resorved for
Spokane.
To turn down Yakima is impossible.
and thtf State Committee is put to the
necessity of finding a satisfactory
method of satisfying the county with
out allowing Turner, at least, to speak
there. An answer must be given Monday.
The Republican State Committee is
planning to begin an energetic and ag
gressive campaign next month. State
Chairman E. B. Palmer has been -in
Alaska, called to that district on
mining business, but ho will return this
week and immediately begin the work
of shaping up the Fall fight
The Itinerary of speakers and the
programme for opening meetings has
not been completed, but the actual
speaking campaign will begin about
the middle of the month. Organization
work has been under way for several
weeks, and the Republican fight Is in
good condition. The aggressive effort
that follows will be pushed steadily.

Too Bicrfor His Clothes
Yes the boy needs a new suit badly or the present one let out.
Never was the fact so demonstrated as yesterday when the crowds were
so great as to almost bulge out the sides of the building. But there's
help at hand the new building with its monster elevators is nearing
completion.
Have you noted, from the inside of the old store, the ragged tem
porary partition that now separates it from the Sixth-street Annex?
A rough-looking partition, hastily built, to protect the old store from
tho weather, and those who might break through and steal. Poor old
store. Like Adam, a rib has been taken away that a lifs-partner might
be given to it and where .that rib comes out you will soon be passing
tlirough from one building to the other, the two forming Portland's fore
most, best store. Just now things do look a bit shabby that's a fact.
But outward appearances count but little. In house-cleaning time no
body cares for the looks of -things while the work goes on. . The ragged
looking partition, lika an apron or a pair of overalls, simply protects the
goods on the other side. The big store, rearranged, is still doing its
usual everyday work. In these mes of upset we are not thinking so
much of how we look, but we are doing double thinking to keep up the
store service, and taking double, precautions against all risks in the
building we occupy and tho one in course of erection, now nearing com
pletion. Everything is being rigidly inspected and when the building
is finished 'twill be the safest and easiest in which .to shop in America.
The work has been slow, but step by step the Pencoyd steel has walked
to its place by the help of the steady eyes and hands of the master bridge
builders and their strong handed and cool, clear-brained helpers. All
honor to such men as build so solidly. Visitors in town are invited to
come anf see this Portland's one and only all-steel, fireproof building.

Portland's Largest and Foremost Garment House Announces More
New, Beautiful, Artistic, Autumn Showings in Women's
Suits, Wraps, Smart Appare
IN AUTHORITATIVE STYLES
JUST ARRIVED BY EXPRESS.
No part of this great store has grown so fast as our Garment section. This is due
to the facts printed below:
1. The difference and refinement of the styles designed by our organization, that at
once remove them apart from the commonplace and ordinary.
2. The artistic taste and individuality of our organization is shown in correcting
styles shown us by manufacturers transferring such models into distinctive dresses, such
styles being controlled by us and not to be seen elsewhere.
3. We constantly show replicas of imported models after famous foreign designers
at a fraction of the cost 'of originals. Thus it is we offer reproductions of London, Paris
and Berlin styles almost as soon as the originals are imported.
4. The power of our peerless buying organization enables us to secure all this ad
ditional style in our garments and to sell them as low or at a lower price than the ordi
nary are sold at the "Cheap" stores of no standing in the Fashion World.
5. Our policy enables us to show moro novelties and new styles oftener because we sell
out our stocks on the average of once a month, keeping a constant stream of newer
styles going and coming daily. Thus it is that Olds, Wortman & King patrons are al
ways sure to see the very latest at this store.
6. On account of enormous buying our purchases in market amounting to more
than any other three local stores combined we are granted great price concessions by the
makers, enabling us in turn to make the lowest prices on the Coast for woman's apparel
of every good sort t
