1LKEI DECLARES
HIS INTENT
Portland Lawyer Will Enter
- the Senatorial Contest
Against Fulton.
FIGHT TO BE STRENUOUS
Man Who Once Wore Toga for Six
Weeks Plans to Win by Appeal
to the Plain People
of Oregon.
Frederick W. Mulkey, ex-United
State Senator from Oregon, is being
groomed for the Senatorial race at the
April primaries. During the Summer
tie will engage in the most strenuous
training. Gallops to the far corners
of the state to become better acquaint
ed with the people of every seatlon
have been arranged by his trainers.
H will single-foot it to the nearby
districts also to meet his old friends
and make new ones. By next Spring
his admirers think he will be in fine
fettle to trot In a winner in the Spring
meet wlta Fulton. '
Mr Mulkev already has once romped in
a winner, but be It remembered, in the
Senatorial sweepstakes, and followers
of the political ponies are scanning the
form charts to dope out his previous
performances and get a line on his
chances to push his nose under the
wire ahead of the salmon county
statesman.
The Mulkey handshake has been Tin
limbered and the latest candidate is
now ready to pass among the dear peo
ple and enlist their votes. The cam
paign of the Summer promises to en
liven many a corner-grocery gathering
In the alfalfa belt, for Senator Mulkey
will start out within a few days to
swing around the circle, going first
Into the Tillamook, Coos and , Curry
district and later through the sage
brush belt of Harney, Crook and Mal
heur. He will meet the farmers on
their own homesteads and will talk to
them sitting In neighborly fashion on
their rail fences.
Strenuous From .Jump.
Strenuous is the ..word from the
lump. Mr. Mulkey has Just completed
a, 12-day Jaunt through Klamatn ana
Lake Counties. Eight days of the
doien were occupied by Mr. Mulkey In

Administration is the keynote of the prop
aganda that will be spread broadcast in
many a speech throughout the cow coun
ties during the August campaign. The
farmers may be busy getting in the crops,
and they may be tired after the long
day's work is done, but they will troop
out to hear the latest candidate Just the
same. Mr. Mulkey expects, however, to
make his speeches short, out of consider-
t atlon for his hard working audiences.
Found People Cordial.
"I am a candidate for the Senate," said
Mr. Mulkey yesterday. "On my recent
trip 1 found the people cordial and they
treated me in a very friendly fashion.
While I did not talk politics, I made in
quiry as to the political problems the peo
ple of the different sections were inter
ested,,. My purpose this Summer is to
learn the. needs of all parts of the state
and to personally meet the people and
find out what their interests are. r shall

'I feel I have only one chance of elec
. tion and that is by the primary law as It
was enforced at the last election. I be
lieve In the election bf Senators by the
direct vote of the people. 1 do not be
lieve the people can look for any legisla
tion from the United States Senate that
will be beneficial to them unless they can
participate directly in the election of Sen
ators. Oregon, under the provision of
Statement No. 1 of the primary law has
taken advanced ground so that the Legis
lature merely registers the will of the
people.
Believing as I do In the direct election
and realizing also the difficulty -of chang-
lng the constitution at present, I believe
In the rigid observance of Statement No.
1 and I believe legislators should so pledge
themselves.
"I know of no better arbitrator of poli
tical Issues, or of the political preferment
of men, than the majority of the people,
and while I do not believe the people of
Oregon will ever send a Democrat to the
Senate, as the state is so overwhelmingly
Republican, should they .so decide. I be
lieve their decision should be rigidly ob
served and. respected by the Legislature.
Logrolling Thing of Past.
"This plan-removes political log-rolling
and deadlocks and gives the Legislature
a free hand in solving the problems the
people expect the legislators to consider.
It absolutely removes boss rule and re
duces to a minimum the influence of the
large interests which would otherwise
seek to elect a United States Senator to
be their personal representative.
Tf the npnnlA nf Orpenn m u If n nriA
more stand on the provisions of State
ment No. 1 it will be accepted, if success
ful, as an Issue decided and the people of
the state will never have to fear boss rule
again. It seems to -me to be the great
overshadowing issue before the people of
the state.
"So far as National Issues are con
cerned. it would make but little differ
ence who represents Oregon In the Sen
ate. provided the successful candidate be
a Republican, as there are no National
issues that especially divide the Repub
lican party. It would be better, of course.
If the delegate from Oregon were in
hearty sympathy with the National Ad
ministration. There has been consider
able opposition developed in the United
States Senate against the administration
of President Roosevelt; largely due 'to
. the fact that Individual Senators and the
Senate as a body seem Jealous of their
powers.
"A great many powers exercised by the
, Senate have been usurped. I think the
freedom with which the Senate seeks to
amend treaties negotiated by the Execu
tive Department of the Government was
never originally contemplated by the
framers of the Constitution. The tre-
ijiciiuuui jjuwer i leu oy Kits dciikib 111
reference to the confirmation or rejec
tion of Executive appointees was, in my
opinion. never contemplated by the
framers of the Constitution.
"The Senate, gained most of these pow
15
ers when legislative questions were of
chief importance to the Nation, but the
principal problems of today are not' those
of constitutional law. but rather of ad
ministration law. The conflicts between
the Senate and the Executive are largely
due to a refusal on the part of the legis
lative branch of the Government to ac
cord to the Executive Department suffi
cient power to cope with administrative
questions. v
"The result Is that the Executive is
constantly appealing to the Legislative
Department for legislation which, in the
nature of things, it should possess as an
independent power. In other words, the
Executive at the present time enjoys
only what may be designated as dele
gated ordinance power. The time has
now arrived when the Executive Depart
ment should also have supplemental and
independent ordinance power.
"The administration of Theodore Roose
velt will, in my opinion, be designated in
the future as an administration of great
and constructive statesmanship. He has
evolved policies of government that have
been enrgetic and fearless. His adminis
tration lias checked the tendency to "con
centrate wealth in the hands of a few and
to reduce the importance of individuals
as distinguished from corporations of
large capitalization.
"In an economic sense, his administra
tion has done more lo prevent the coun
try from accepting the doctrines of social
ism than any other since the doctrine of
individualism has been accepted by the
civilized world. It should be the con
cern of the people of Oregon and of the
Nation at large to insist that Theodore
Roosevelt retain the Presidency for an
other four years; if he absolutely refuses,
then it should be the duty of the Republi
can party to nominate a man who has
been in complete sympathy and accord
with his administration.
Taft has proved himself a statesman.
He is of splendid magnetism and I favor
bis nomination in case Presiden. Roose
velt cannot be induced to accept another
term. I sincerely trust that the peo -'c of
Oregon will give Secretary Taft a cordial
reception wherr he comes here, for it is
only necessary to come in contact with
the man to feel the power of his person
ality." GOLDKELWALKERGDES EAST

The sun yesterday appeared to be
remaining in its normal capacity of
warming things up comfortably, rather
than In attempting culinary pursuits.
It was disagreeably hot all day, to be
sure, and yet the weather hardly
seemed to Justify comparison with a
certain phase of destiny, as on Tuesday.
The highest point reached by the ther
mometer was 89 degrees.
And yet Portland sweltered arid per
spired nearly as much as Tuesday when
the mercury crawled up to 102 degrees
and tried to break the local record.
This was because the .humidity was
somewhat higher and it is 'the humidity
that combines with the heat to make
things .uncomfortable for such unhappy
mortals as have other things to do be
sides keep cool. The average humidity
yesterday was 55 per cent as com
pared with 62 for Tuesday.
Suffering from the heat was not
nearly so marked as on Tuesday and
the temperature was not sufficient to
play freaky tricks with the draw
bridges as on the day proceeding. Peo
ple who had to frequent the streets
found themselves getting along with a
relatively small degree of misery, pro
vided they did not hurry. ' . '
The day started out warm. At 5 A.
M. the reading at the weather office
was 68 degrees and there were indica
tions that Portland was in for another
day of it. By 6 o'clock the mercury
had not moved and at 7 o'clock it had
dropped back a notch. Eight found it
in the 70's, however, and by 11 o'clock
it had passed the 80 mark by one point.
Noon found the record' at 83 and by 2
o'clock 89 had been reached.
The sun's motives were still in doubf
but an hour later when the ther
mometer had retreated a point it was
seen the day wasn't to be marked by
any new heat records. Again at 89 the
sun rallied and tried to get .up into the
80's but the best it could do was 89
and it then gave up the struggle and
retreated slowly down the line. Bj
dark It was comfortably -cool outdoors,
with a faint but refreshing breeze In
the air. .
A list of the record days for the
past ten years was compiled yester
day by the weather bureau and is as

part of the city it was the highest mark
reached since July '4, 1906. In other por

The heat rose freakishly, jumping from
93 to 101 degrees between 11 and 1 o'clock.
Had this scorching weather occurred a

"STORY OF GOLDEX FliEECE"
Nance O'Xeil Appears In a Great
Hole at the Marquam.
America's greatest tragedienne has found
another part worthy of her tremendous
power as an actress and is creating a sen
sation In the role of Media, the mythologi
cal sorceress who makes it possible for the
Argonauts under the leadership of the falth
fess Jason to find the fabled golden fleece.
The play is a beautiful one, and in the third
act la reached the highest point of dramatic
intensity. Miss O'Neil is splendidly sup
ported by the regular company, reinforced
by a great number of supernumeraries.
The production is rarely beautiful, the wood
scene In the second act - being especially
effective. Notwithstanding " the warm
weather, the audiences are -large arid ap
preciative and "The Story" of the Golden
Fleece" is a success both artistically and
financially. If you haven't seen, it you will
be foolish if you don't go tonight.
"A Royal Slave" Matinee.
This afternoon at the Star Theater there
will be a matinee of' that beautiful Mexican
romance, "A Royal Slave.' The last of the
Aztec kings Is the principal character, one
of the Montezumas called Agullla. This role
is played effectively by Frank DeCamp, and It
a star part. Mr. DeCamp Is giving a first
class performance, which is not surprising,
since he starred in the part for three sea
sons. Miss Eunice Murdock. as the Spanish
woman, Is . second to DeCamp in importance
and has the same part she played on the road
for many months. The rest of the company Is
well cat and there is ample comedy provided
by Charles Conners and Lillian C. Fields, the
latter rendering a song.
"The Road to 'Frisco' Today.
There, will be a matinee performance at
the Lyric this afternoon, and the Allen
Stock Company will again appear in that
striking frontier drama, "The Road to
Frisco." ' it is one of those plays that can
always be relied upon. The action goes with
a rush from the first to the last curtain,
and there is such a strong heart interest
ana such genial comedy that it would be a
dull person Indeed who would not become
enthusiastic. The Lyric is always cool, nu
matter how high ths mercury may climb,
owing to the excellent system of ventilation
and artificial cooling that has been In
stalled. It Is the only place to go during ths
hot Summer days.
"THE UXDERTOW" MONDAY
Great New Play of Political Graft at
Marquam Xext? Week.
The Stockwell-MacGregor Company, with
Frankly n Underwood at its head, will be
seen at the Marquam next week, commenc
ing Monday night, in the startling new
play of newspaper life and newspaper graft.
'The Undertow." During the past season
this has been one of ths big hits of the
Eastern, cities, for the reason that. In add!
tion to being a splendid play, it deals with
live questions, the moa- serious that the
American people are now facing. It is a
vital, impressive story of life in our cities.
It applies to Portland as well as San Fran
cisco and other graft-ridden cities.
"The Westerner" at Lyric Xext.
The next attraction promised by the Lyric
management will be another one of those
knock-out successes for which the Allen
Stock Company is becoming famous. "The
Westerner" has never failed to please an in
telligent audience, and there can be no ques
tion but that it will be a wonderful favorite
with Lyric audiences. The company will be
so cast that no- one will be out of his par
ticular line of work.. There will be one of
the best times of the Summer for the show
goer in "The Westerner." Remember, the
opening performance Monday night.

What Women Enjoy.
There never was a woman who did not want
to show her husband that she was master.
"Taming a Husband," the headline act at the

interest to women. It is a laugh every minute
and the acting is ofv a high order. Beatrice
More land, the talented comedienne, and Stan

contortionist on a slack wire, does stunts
which no other wire artist dare imitate. Miss
Grace Orma is an entertainer on hr own
account. Those who Imagine they have seen
the best of coin manipulators should see Allen

Best Harbor
For 600 Miles
In all the magnificent stretch of sea coast, for 600 miles, from
San Francisco to the mouth of the Columbia, there is only one
deep harbor of any size and with any depth. This is Tillamook
Bay. II re, there is sufficient area for an unlimited number
of vessels, with ample dock facilities for innumerable ships.
The channel is straight, 24 feet deep at mean high tidej safe,
and easily navigated. The bay is seven miles long and three
miles wide. Vessels carrying 1,000,000 feet of lumber have,
sailed out of tha port at Bay City with no trouble whatever.
Bay City is certain to become the greatest lumber-shipping
.port on tl-s Pacific Coast. As sure as you are alive, every
dollar you put into Bay City now will grow into ten dollars
within five years. The lot onoosite the Lytle Depot, listed
at $7600, can. be had now for $5000 spot CLsh. Free site for
the first company that will establish a sawmill at Bay City.
