12 THE MOBNINGr OREGOKIAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBEB 7, 190 GUESS AT RESULTS Chairmen of Political Parties Forecast the' Vote. BAKER UORES FOR 30,000 Only Question to Be Decided as to Presidential Result is the Size of Theodore Roosevelt's Plurality. Each of -five parties has four candidates for Presidential Electors on the ballot for tomorrow's election Republican, Democratic, Prohibition, Socialist and People's, in the order cited. At the foot of the ballot is the question of prohibition to which voters will answer "yes" or "no." Electors nrust vote In their home pre cincts. If registered they will present their names to the election Judges and receive a ballot which they will mark and deposit In the box. If not registered they must present an affidavit signed by six freeholders certifying to their elec totral qualifications. A freeholder may be defined as a person who has a. fixed legal residence. Affidavit blanks can be ob tained at the polls or at the County Clerk's office or at the several political headquarters, and must be sworn to be fore a Notary Public or Justice of the Peace. Preparations have been made to enable unregistered voters to obtain affi davits signed and certified at the polls without delay or expense. The Republican state organization, headed by Prank C. Baker has been very active in the campaign. Mr. Baker has aent out 570,000 pieces of literature over the state. The antl-prohlbltlon forces have been waging a vigorous campaign Jn all the counties where prohibition Is the issue. Prohibitionists and Socialists have been busy, .too. The Republican State Commltte has had 85 speakers on the stump and has held rallies in all but 13 counties, where lead ers of the party have deemed campaign ing unnecessary. Prank C. Baker estimates that the Re publican plurality will be 30.000 if a full vote shall "be polled. He forecasts the counties as follows: Baker Benton . . Clackamas 450 300 1.250; 900 700 670 400 220 1.085 235 500 125 575 335! 200: 300 1,425 430 Linn 330 Malheur 250 Marlon 1,890 Morrow ........ 450 Multnomah .... 9,975 Polk 600 Sherman ...... 440 Clatsop Columbia ......

Tillamook ..... 475 Umatilla 1.100 Union ......... C50 Wallowa 550 Wasco 1.200 Washington .... 1.200 Wheeler 260 Tamhlll ........ 620 Total 30,150 Republican Forecast. Frank C. Baker, chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee: "Should the total vote Tuesday equal that of last Juno (lh round numbers 100, 000), I believe that the people of Oregon will give President Roosevelt a majority commensurate with his friendship past, present and future for our state; and 'asing our figures on voluntary reports Irom members of our party throughout the state, our forecast is that his plural ity will equal at least 30,000. "We hope or a comparatively full vote, for the rea uon that our people will avail themselves rot this most excellent opportunity to ad vertise to the .world that we are growing in population relatively as fast as our neighbor states. Democratic Forecast. F. V. Holman. National Democratic Chairman for Oregon Republicans will carry Oregon, but by a smaller plurality than in the state election last June. Dem ocrats have not been waging a fight: there has been no organization of counties and precincts, and it is impossible to fore cast accurately the size of the plurality. Republicans cannot guess any better than we. Since June and the nomination of Roosevelt everybody has conceded the state to Republicans. Populist Forecast. A. P. Nelson, Chairman of the People's party in Oregon The number of votes the People's party will cast In the Presiden tial election Is wholly a matter of con jecture. If voters at large had a true knowledge of political conditions In the Republican and Democratic parties, and 'of the purposes of our party, -n-e should poll 100,000 votes. The number of Jeffer son Democrats who will refuse to be used as cats paws to help a few wolves to the fleshpots will be 10.000. The doctrines of our part are founded on the teachings of .Thomas Jefferson, and ours Is the only fparty whose tendencies are not distinctly socialistic, notwithstanding the contrary jetatements of persons with flabby ideas of economics. Prohibition Forecast. I. II. Amos, State Chairman of the Pro hibition party in Oregon We shall poll at least 5000 votes In the Presidential election in Oregon, and will win between six and ten counties for prohibition. In the June election we polled 5514 votes for Supreme Judge, but our poll Is always lighter In Presidential elections. "We have had three speakers In the field all through the cam paign, and our forces have worked vigor ously. "We shall lose many local option votes, but that prqspect does not concern us. We have had little money to work with, for. as children of the light, we are not so wise in our .generation as the chil dren of darkness in the other parties.

PORTLAND, Not. 6. To the Editor.) Christianity, after 19 centuries, u, perhaps, leas understood thin astronomy. It Is brought Into disrepute by some professor. Our Chris tum brotherhood, unmindful rf St. Paul's in structions that spiritual things are Incompre hensible to the natural man, adhere to the In terpretation of the half-paganized Christian fathers In the fourth century, who showed In their "church councils their Incapacity rightly to comprehend the character -of the Xord Christ. The Japanese said, by one of their lead era, to Henry Dmmmond when- be was In Japan: "We are much Indebted to the missionaries; chiefly American, who taught us Christianity, but we have now learned for ourselvoc that it Is a greater and a better thing than even they de scribed it"; and they arc proving it today In the forum and in the field. Hardly anything is more conspicuous than the public disposition to discard Its old preach ers, att was witnessed In the late Methodist conference In retiring ta old bishops, some of whom give evidence of far more spiritual power than Is possible for the young men to possess. Is this sowing to the spirit or to the flesh? A talented young preacher In the city Is eVldently possessed with the Idea that to young men Is committed In greatest degree the message of the Gospel, and he has scant sym pathy with aught but what has some relation ship to himself, but selfishness has little affin ity with Christianity. When this finality (Christianity) of creation Is better understood, instead of local option to oppose the saloons, Portland will have at least one public place where the people can resort who have not the Inclination to visit saloons.

CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN Prohibitionists Hold Rally in White Temple. SPEAK AGAINST THE SALOON Dr. E. L. Rader, Mrs. Ada Unruh, Dr. F. S. Short and Others Express Confidence In Their Ultimate Victory Over Liquor. The prohibition rally held yesterday afternoon at the White Temple on Twelfth and Taylor streets marked the closing meeting of the an tl -saloon forces la this campaign. Eternal vigilance was the motto enunciated yesterday by the speak ers, and the promise Is given that should the forces working for prohibition be un successful at the polls on Tuesday next, Wednesday morning will see the ranks reformed and ready for the fight during the coming year. Victory is claimed, not at this election, perhaps, nor at the next, but in the future. Br. E. I, Rader presided at the meeting yesterday and introduced the speakers. The audience was fair in size, though the church was not filled, but what it lacked In numbers it made up in applause as each speaker made his points against the saloon and the saloonkeeper. Bt. Rader in opening the meeting ex plained the local-option law in its effect WHEN YOU CAN VOTE. The polls will be open tomorrow from 8 o'clock in the morning; until 7 o'clock In the evening-. All legally qualified and duly reria tered electors can vote In the precinct in which they are registered. Those not registered, but otherwise qualified, can vote by making affidavit before six freeholders. and the use that the Prohibitionists would put it to. The law did not grant anything, so he claimed, but the right to settle questions according to the will of the peo ple of a particular section. Mrs. Ada Unruh made the first speech of the afternoon, and said the women of the land had taken a stand against the liquor traffic. It bad been the observation of the speaker tnat at no time or in any place had she found one phase of the liquor traffic working for the good of the public from either a moral or an economic standpoint. Says She Represents Women. "I want to talk this afternoon," said the lady in her address, "not from the standpoint of the men, for I will allow them to treat of the economic phases of the question and to look at It from a busi ness point of view. I want to talk of the question from the standpoint of the wom en of the land, of the mothers and the wives. "I represent the women of Portland and of the Nation. Our brothers look at the matter from a different view than that taken by us. Women have a differ ent idea of the comparative value of things. To us the monetary question sinks into Insignificance beside the sacrifice 'of home and human souls. "It has often been asked why the wom an is to be found in this fight against the .saloon, and it is said that she has no place In politics, that she had best be home rocking the cradle. We are attending to our business, and there- is many a woman In this city who sits beside the empty cradle and mourns because of the curse of rum. "Docs woman have no business in fight ing this question? Many a gentle woman In Portland has gone down into the valley of the shadow, down until her feet touched the edge of the river of death, and the Icy breath of the angel of Death has fanned her brow before she came up out of the darkness, white and trembling, with a man-child clasped to her breast to give to the saloon. "I have visited saloons in many cities to study the conditions there, and have done It fearlessly, but I would almost rather go to the stake on Tuesday next than to go out to the polls and work for the cause of right. There Is not a woman who will be on duty at the polls on election day who will go there from choice. It is hard for us to do it, and much harder because wc have to ask men to vote right when they should do It without the asking." Pointed Address of Rev. F. B. Short. Rev. F. Burgette Shurt was the next speaker, and his address was short and pointed. He summed up his remarks with five points which to a degree covered the situation. In stating his case he said: The most gigantic evil among us is the sa loon. It is the source of the vast majority of crimes committed, the happy homes blighted, manhood wrecked and womanhood prostituted. And being such a monster, how can wo do otherwise than hate It? How do otherwise than oppose and endeavor to destroy it? Why is It given a place among us? Why privileged to drag its ellmy self across and about this Nation T By the consent of the voters. Every American voter who has an opportu nity of resenting this evil, not as partisans, but according to the local-option plan, and who falls so to do. Is a p&rtleepa crlmlnls to all the crime which this evil produces. The local-option method means local prohi. bltlon nothing more nor lees. There Is noth ing strange nor unusual in this method of pro cedure. It Is practiced unquestionably in oth er matters of government our "schools, libra ries, lighting, water works, etc. It ia simply the old form of "getting together," says Dr. E. E. Hale. According to the laws of men the saloon Is as legitimate as any other business, but ac cording to the laws of God, and the highest consideration man has for man, it has long since become the Nation's outlaw. Neverthe less, for a few dollars It is privileged to lay Its withering hand upon the youth on the street and to blow its death-laden breath Into the face of beautiful. Innocent womanhood, often turning the 'Otherwise peaceful homes and cities Into caldrons' of crime and hotbeds of Iniquity. When the Christian men and women of this state and Nation so decide, every saloon must close Its door, and up from the suffering mul titudes who have been the recipients of Its misery there will arise a shout, of thanksgiving which the Inhabitants of two worlds shall hear. T. S. McDanieis Makes Speech. T. S. McDanieis was Introduced by Dr. Rader and was received with great ap plause. He spoke for a fe"w minutes. "I feel so deeply stirred," he said, "that I hardly know what to say. It seems to me that this Is a question that should be settled wlc the heart and not the head. I am sorry for any man who comes to a moral victory and then hesitates at Its completion. Our fathers fought and died for a voice in their own government. We have fought for what we have gained, and now some of us want to back down. I am ashamed of such a man. What kind of a prayer can he say when he comes home at night after having thrown his ballot at the polls against the dictates of his con science? "The monetary question is the only one vcr raised in" defense of the saloon,- but who wants to get rich at the price of homes saddened and devastated and souls destroyed, through the money from the saloonkeeper's till?" Dr. J. W. Brougher was the last to speak, and he devoted some minutes to an arraignment of those who opposed the prohibition movement. He said: "What will It profit & city to gain reve nue and make criminal, to pauperise la bor, ruin homes, destroy character and damn souls of men and wemeo? A father who would teach his son to steal for the sake of getting money would be a villain and a criminal, worthy of the prison. What, then, is to be said of a Mayor of a city government that is willing- to make criminals of our young- men and women for the sake of revenue? r "We may not carry every county, but every anti-saloon man ought to get In line and let the saloon element see -the strength of the opposition. Let" us stick together, and it will not be long before wo create nentlment enough not only to pass the prohibition laws but to enforce them." AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents 'Say.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The local-option campaign In Marion County closed this evening with a large and en thusiastic rally in the Methodist Church, all the pastors of down-town churches being present. The feature of the meeting was the ovation given Professor Drew, when he was Introduced. Though the speakers did not expressly admit that lo cal option will fall to carry In this coun ty, some of the remarks Indicated that they have little hope of Its success in this election. Rev. David Errett. of the Christian Church presided. Rev. H. A. Ketchum, of the First Presbyterian Church, .was the first speaker. In the course of his argu ment, he quoted Lincoln's assertion that "this country cannot exist half slave and half free," and said, after a brief comment that "this country cannot exist half drunk and half sober." He said that he believes in local op tion because saloonkeepers as a. rule are lawless men; because the saloon Is a de stroyer of manhood" and because the liquor evil Is the greatest enemy of the home. He declared that the saloon sends 100, 000 men, to drunkards graves every year and If a foreign foe should come to our shores .and kill even 1000 men. an army of 500,000 could be raised at once to ex terminate the enemy. The speaker urged that the people rise up against an enemy that kills 100,000 of our men every year. Professor Drew was introduced and was greeted with great applause by the audience. He made the following predic tions: That If Salem votes In favor of pro hibition the city will not thereby be re formed nor will the sale of liquor be en tirely and completely stopped, but all open saloons will be closed and temptation will be removed from young men and from drinking men who are fighting against temptation. Rev. W. H. SellecJc. of the Methodist Church, said among other things that If any other retail dealer should sell goods that Injured men as liquor does, his busi ness would 'be Immediately stopped. Rev. W. C Kantner, of the Congrega tional Church, said that he has not read a slnglo argument against local option that was not shallow sophistry, pure and simple. He asked whether in case prohi bition is defeated next Tuesday the cele brating will be done in the churches and in the prayer meetings or Jn saloons and brothels. Rev. F. W. Cliffe, of the Baptist Church, said that If It is a valid argument against local option that It cannot be fully en forced, then the ten commandments should be abolished. He hoped that on election day his ballot on the prohibition question will not be marked the same as that of the gambler, the brothelkeeper and the saloonkeeper. CHALLENGER LOST HER SAILS Lime-Laden Schooner Appeared to Be In Distress Off River. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The schooner that was off the mouth of the river yesterday afternoon, apparently In distress, was the Challenger, on the way from Roche Harbor, Wash., for San Fran cisco, with a cargo of lime, but whether she has suffered any damage other than the loss of the greater portion of her sails Is not known. The bar tug Ta'toosh spoke the lightship this morning, and Captain Harrlman, of the latter, reported sight ing the Challenger yesterday afternoon. The schooner had lost all her sails, ex cepting the foresail and fore-staysail, and bad distress signals flying. The schooner did not approach the lightship near enough for Captain Harrlman to learn the nature of the trouble, but while the vessel's hull appeared Intact and no smoke was visible, the excited manner of those on board Indicated that something serious had happened, and it is feared her cargo Is on fire. The bar was too rough for the tugs to reach her last evening, and when last seen the Challenger was standing off shore She is supposed to have been driven north by the strong southerly gale that was blowing at the time, as no trace of her could be found this morning.

Bled soe and Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh. Mr. Bledsoe gave a statistical address, and spoke of the- number of drunkards, crim inals and Idiots made by the legalized sa loon, and urged as a remedy In Oregon that the Prohibition ticket be voted to morrow. "The saloon is the breathing hole of the devil," said Mr. Bledsoe, "yet a saloon cannot run any longer without customers than a butcher's shop without a supply of sheep and calves." "Portland has .400 saloons, the earnings of which, amount to 540 per day. an In come of nearly 16,000.000 per year," stated Mrs. Unruh. "Saloon men pay the city 5160,000 taxes every year, but the money is wrung from the homes of the people, and Is largely paid by laboring men who ought to spend the money on their families.

Scotch for the Solitary Club. Boston Herald. The New York Sun notes the decline of certain time-honored functions In the din ing clubs of that town. For instance', it finds few clubs where the spectacle of a man sitting down alone at dinner with a pint of champagne at his side does not excite concealed amusement. The pre vailing habit now, so far as liquid refresh-, ment Is concerned, is Scotch for solitary refreshment. When there's company, the full bottle and the hot bird are still con sidered gdod form, and the amusement Is more unconcealed among the participants of this sort of hospitality. This style of hospitality, It is fair to say, is not strictly confined to New York. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby I Cuttta Teeth. Be isn and use tnat old and well-tried remedy.
