Duniway, Republican, for State Printer; Frank W. Benson, Republican, for Secretary of State, and Robert Eakin, Republican, for Supreme Judge, have de feated their respective opponents by un precedented pluralities. Woman suffrage was beaten by about 10,000 and the proposed, local option amendment was lost by about the same vote. The Legislature Is overwhelmingly Republican. The success of Governor Chamberlain was achieved through his carrying a num ber of counties that went against him in 1902, and through his having equalled or exceeded his vote of that year in the other counties. He carried a large ma jority of counties and in Multnomah has a plurality of about 330. . His largest lead is in Baker about 700. The counties carried by Dr. Withycombe were 14 In number, as follows: Benton, Columbia, Coos, Curry,-Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lake, Lincoln, Sherman, Tilla mook, Wallowa, Wasco, Washington. Mr. Bourne's plurality, for United States Senator (long term) has been somewhat reduced from early estimates, which seemed to indicate a margin of about 5000. His unexpected loss in Marlon County to Mr. Gearln, the Democratic candidate, by about 700, the Qearin plu rality in Baker County of about the same figure and the heavy adverse vote of Ljnn, with some minor changes, lopped off about 2500. leaving the Republican candidate for United States Senator with a safe lead of 2300 over his Democratic opponent.

Page W, CHICAGO. June 5.-(Special.) Political I' destruction of President Roosevelt and all who acknowledge alliance with him in his fight on the packers is the plan of the millionaire proprietors of America's meat industry. As soon as J. Ogden Armour returns from Europe, the heads of the big concerns will meet and arrange a plan of action. It contemplates the enlist ment of all the trusts and corporations at whom the administrative guns have been aimed. With a powerful organiza tion of the millions Invested in big in dustries, the captains of finance will en deavor to capture the machinery of whichever of the two big parties may be most effectively utilized. Capital Cannot Trust Him. According to a leading lawyer for the packers, who was engaged In their de fense in, the recent, trial before Judge Humphrey, the great capitalists of this country realize that Roosevelt is no longer to be trusted to represent their interests. Lately he has shown a ten dency that is dangerouly Socialistic, they aver, and has demonstrated the peril of electing a man of radical mind, to the Presidency. This lawyer is the recog nized spokesman for the packers, but re fuses to permit the use of his name, for political reasons. He says: Has Hounded Corporations. 'President Roosevelt has done all he can to ruin the great financial Interests of this country. He has hounded the coal mine-owners, persecuted the railroads and pursued the packers with .animosity, due to apparent enmity engendered by defeat in business when he tried to become a packer. He has loaned himself to the practical destruction of the. insurance companies, and in other ways demon strated his unfitness. Unite Cattlemen With Packers. "This last move means that the live stock raisers. Western farmers and pack ers will unite against him, for his ruina tion of America's foreign meat' trade will hurt the farmers as badly as it does the packers. With this nucleus -will begin the operation of an irresistible force in polities which shall defeat all radicals who play to the galleries at the expense , of capital. 'It is certain that, if Roosevelt re mains the leader of the Republican party, the big capitalists will be afraid to make contributions to the campaign fund. If it becomes necessary to abandon the Re- MAKK HAY AVHILE SCX SHIXES German Packers Boom Business at j Expense) of Americans. BERLIN, June . 6. (Special.) General agitation throughout Germany against American meat- products has .the support of every influential newspaper in the Empire. The papers declare that, inas much as the action of President Roose velt in placing the Government stamp of approval upon the charges against Amer ican packing houses has . proved them beyond doubt, the time has come when the Importation of all outside meat pro ducts should be prohibited. German packers are making hay while the sun shines and are flooding the coun try' with documents, showing that only native meat products are healthful. In this propaganda they have the support of all the newspapers of the country. MISSOURI FOR BRYAN 1908 Declares He Was De . frauded in 1896. TWO WINGS FLAP TOGETHER CHICAGO BEGINS INQUIRY.

Temporary Chairman T. L. Ruby made) a speech, declaring the work of the con vention would result In bringing the Mis souri Democratic party back to its place, in charge of the state. Ruby declared that the Democrats would nominate Bryan for President In 1908 and elect him. The convention wildly cheered and ap plauded for Ave minutes. Francis Declares for Bryan. Ex-Governor Francis said in part: "I wish to ask this convention to send Its congratulations to the National Democracy on the disappearance of our differences. In 1904 what is known as the conservative element of our party asked that It be allowed to make the platform and "name - the candidate. Right liberally did the radical fac tion concede the honor to the conser vative elemerk. You know the result. "Now, another campaign Is approach ing. Those of us who belong to what has been the conservative faction would not be magnanimous, we woulj not be worthy Democrats, if we did not say to you that we will support your candidate and your platform this time. The differences that have di vided the Democracy exist no longer." Governor Francis described Bryan as sincere lover of humanity and a patriotic citizen of the United States." He eulogized both Bryan and Cleve land amid profuse cheering. Cleveland Talking for Bryan! Ex-State Senator David Ball, in a speech, pronounced William J. Bryan the. greatest private citizen in the world. "When I see Grover Cleveland In tha rear end of a train In Missouri, talking for Bryan. I will take back everything I ever said against him," he declared.
