LOYAL SUPPORT
PLEDGED TICKET
Republicans Defeated in Pri
mary Race Give Banquet
to the Winners.
HOLD PARTY LOVE FEAST
Members of "Would-Have-Bcen As
sociation" Make Speeches in Hu
morous Veli Hard Raps Are
Given Chamberlain Boom.
It was a game bunch of losers and
a grateful lot of winners that sat down
to a banquet at the Portland Commer
cial Club last night. Defeated Repub
lican candidates in the late primary
election were the hosts and their suc
cessful opponents were the guests. The
best of feeling prevailed and pledges
of loyal support for every candidate
nn fk. 4iirat w.r. crivpn hv the differ
ent ' speakers. The Republican party
was eulogized as the party of princi
ple and progressive ideas, and the cen
tral thought emphatically presented by
those addressing the assemblage was
that victory by a Republican majority
In June was assured if every Republic
an did his duty. Covers were laid
for 0. ,
Dr. Emmet Drake, unsuccessful can
didate for State Senator, acted as
toastmaster. Dr. Drake confessed in a
humorous speech that he belonged to
the "would-have-been" association, and
explained that the single purpose of
the banquet was to enable the defeat
ed candidates to give expression of
their loyalty to the Republican party.
"There will be no flank or ambuBh
movements on our part," declared the
toastmaster, who gathered some con
eolation from being a loser by refer
ring to the fact that Christopher Co
lumbus, George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln. General Grant and President
McKinley had during their lives experi
enced disappointments but, eventually,
were immensely successful.
He predicted the success of the Re
publican ticket in the June election,
saying that the people of the state
would "no longer be fooled by the
demagoguery of the Democrats, Cham
berlain being the same dyed-in-the-wool,
blowed-in-the-bottle Democrat
he always had been."
Moser'a Humorous Speech.
Gus Moser, who ran second In the race
for District Attorney, facetiously de
scribed the feelings of a defeated candi
date, and in presenting the toast "The
Duty of the Defeated Candidate," predict
ed that that class of unfortunates would
perform their only duty that of support
ing every nominee on the party's ticket.
He resented the attempt of the Demo
cratic press to bring about the nomination
of Independent Statement No. 1 legislative
-candidates to oppose regularly nominated
candidates of the Republican party, even
if they had not subscribed to that state
ment. Mr. Moser insisted that it was the
duty of every Republican to support only
the regular nominees of his party.
"The Duty of the Successful Candidate"
was assigned to Judge Earl C. Bronaugh,
who contended that successful candidates
should remember that they are not the
party, but merely Its standard-bearers. So
far as the personality of the candidate is
concerned, said the speaker, it is not vital
to the party whether or not he is elected.
It was defined as the duty of a successful
candidate that he should be subservient
to the Interests of the people, and as a
public servant discharge his duty so as to
elevate the party. Judge Bronaugh de
manded that officials of the people forget
not that a public office Is a public trust
and not a private snap.
Judge W. M. Cake, chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee, In re
sponding to the toast "The Republican
Party In Oregon; How to Harmonize It,"
said that the subject was no less perplex
ing than the disputed age of Ann. He
remarked that its solution had puzzled
older and more experienced men than he.
After reviewing some of the political his
tory of Multnomah County, in which
such honored and respected men as Judge
George H. Williams, had been sacrificed
through the disloyalty of members of the
party. Judge Cake said harmony would
never prevail in the Republican party
until Republicans stand unitedly by their
party which at all times, since its incep
tion, more than 50 years ago, has repre
sented sound and progressive principles.
Ben Selling, candidate for State Senator,
discussed "What the People Think of
Statement No. 1, and said there existed
a moral obligation on the part of every
Republican who participated in the pri
mary election to support the choice of his
party in the June election. A. G. Rush
light and 1 E. Crouch spoke on "The
Primary Law" and "The Republican
Party in June," respectively.
Discusses Statement No. 1.
C. W. Hodson was called on. He said
he had always preached loyalty to the
Republican party and proposed to con
tinue that doctrine, although he thought
the same spirit of loyalty should extend
to county conventions and the manage
ment of the party. He thought some con
sideratlon should have been shown the
action of the county convention, which
had declared for legislative candidates
pledged to Bupport the choice of the Re
publican voters of the state. Mr. Hodson
said his opposition to Statement No. 1
was based altogether on the possible dan
ger of the election of a Democratic Sen
ator by a Republican Legislature.'
While not convinced that Statement No.
Viras a good policy or a Republican prin
ciple, Mr. Hodson concluded by saying
that if it was demonstrated that the Re
publicans of the state can elect a Senator
through its operation he would be willing
to accept the principle. Mr. Hodson
pledged that he would work loyally for
the election of every man on the Repub
lican ticket.
Others to speak briefly were: James
Cole, George S. Shepherd. J. W. Bailey,
County Clerk Frank S. Fields, C. B.
Aitchiaon, James N. Davis, C. W. Not
tingham, Ralph C. Clyde, Henry E.
Westbrook, Dr. L. M. Davis and Edward
D. Taggart. Before the party broke
up. Judge Bronaugh proposed a toast
that "the generous spirit " of loyalty
shown by the defeated candidates be
Infused In ail Republicans."
Dr. Drake, A. Q. Rushlight a-nd T. J.
Kreuder were the members of the com
mittee on arrangements for the ban
quet. The following defeated candi
dates were members of the reception
committee: T. J. Kreuder, W. R. Mc

Senator Fulton today will establish
headquarters in the Imperial Hotel for
the double purpose of assisting in the
election of H. M. Cake to the Uniced
States Senate and securing the selec
tion of a delegation to the Republican
National Convention that will be in the
interest of Secretary Taft for Presi
dent. C. W. Halderman, of Astoria,
secretary to Senator Fulton, reached
Portland yesterday and engaged rooms
604 and 605 at the Imperial for the
campaign.
"I received a telegram from Senator
Fulton directing me to come to Port
land and open headquarters for him,"
said Mr. Halderman yesterday. "It will
be Impossible for the Senator to be in
Portland personally, but I am instruct
ed to assist the candidacy of Mr. Cake
for Senator in every possible way, and
Senator Fulton requests his friends to
do likewise. Senator Fulton, of course,
wants a delegation sent from Oregon
to the Republican National Convention
at Chicago that- wil be favorable to
Secretary Taft. He has announced the
fact publicly and his friends will do
what they can to get such a delegation.
It does not mean an "instructed' dele
gation, necessarily."
Mr. Halderman denied that his com
ing to Portland should be considered
as an organized effort on the part of
Senator Fulton to dominate the state
convention or to antagonize Senator
Bourne. He Insisted that his mission
in opening headquarters at Portland at
this time is solely for the purposes of
requesting Fulton's friends to give
their every assistance to Mr. Cake's
candidacy and election, and at the
same time work for the selection of
eight delegates to the National Conven
tion that will not be unfriendly to
Taft.

LOOT STORE AT BINGEN
Thieves Make Good Hani In North
Bank Town Near White Salmon.
BINGEN, Wash.. May 4. (Special.)
Burglars entered the store of J.
E. Reynolds Saturday night and be
tween three and four hundred dollars
worth of goods were taken, in the
way of clothing, shoes, knives, razors,
silverware and jewelry. The safe was
cracked, but as there was nothing but
papers and no money In it, it was only
thoroughly searched and nothing
taken. ,
Four suspicious-looking men have
been camping near by in the woods
for several days. They were all young-
looking men and are very well-
dressed now, as they dressed up from
socks to overcoats before they left the
store. '.'
The thieves used one of Dean &
Pearson's ferryboats to cross to the
Oregon ' side, and landed somewhere
near Menominee, where they likely
took the Spokane flyer early In the
morning for Portland. Among the
clothing taken were three beaver
overcoats of good value.

RENO, Nev. May 4. William Dempsey,
aged about 60, was found in a posture of
ease on his tent bedding ten miles west
of Sparks, on the MeCarren Ranch, with
a bullet hole through his brain. He left
a diary covering the last three years of
his life.
It is written intelligently, coherently
and seems to indicate he was being pur
sued by persons with instruments of tor
tura. Though he was dressed like
tramp, his appearance indicated he was a
man of refinement and had at one time
possessed considerable money, i His wan

and he had in his pocket a .receipt stub

friends to file homestead applications
on such lands.

complaining witness. He mourns the loss
of $1000 actual cash, not to mention the
shattering of fond dreams of great wealth

vincing effect. McMonagle was such a
substantial appearing person and so con
vincing of personality that no one could
resist going into his ventures. Mr. Wood
was -slow to believe be had been vic
timized. Organization of an underwriter's com
pany was the bait used on Wood. It was
to be a great concern, according to Mc
Monagle, and, because he had taken a
great fancy to that young man, he con
sented to let him have, a few shares of
the preferred capital stock for the ridicu
lously low sum of $10ou. Mr. Wood took
it at once. It was far too good an oppor
tunity to let slip, even if the "Western
Life Underwriters' Company of Portland

said that Mr. Wood was to have a sub
stantial position with the company as

BOISE, Idaho, May 4. Claiming that
life at the Idaho penitentiary is far
worse than death, because other pris

Harry Orchard has expressed the hope
that the Idaho Board of Pardons will

pronounced by Judge Wood.
The Board of Pardons meets tomor

taken on the recommendation of Judge
Wood. Orchard will be executed on
May 15. Orchard's attorney will pre

PLAN TO EXTEND
" TERRIT
Local Option Elections Held in
.18 Oregon Counties
Next Month.
PROHIBITION IS THE ISSUE
Anti-Saloon League Hopes to Vote
Entire State Dry in 191 0 Pres-
ent Campaign Preliminary
to That Battle Royal.
Local option elections for county pro
hibition will be held in 18 of the 33 coun
ties in Oregon next month. Eight of the
other 15 counties are "dry," and in four
of these the question of saloons or no sa
loons is to be resubmitted at the June
election on petition of the liquor men.
There are only five counties in the state
in which there Is no "dry" territory, and
the local optlonlsts have called for a
county election in each one of these
counties next month. This extensive cam
paign to invade further the territory uow
held by the saloon interests is only a
preliminary step to an election on state
prohibition, which Is planned by the cold
water people for 1910. The Anti-Saloon
Leaguers ad the Prohibitionists have
made up their minds to co-operate in a
campaign that is expected to add Oregon
to the list of prohibition states two years
hence.
In the meantime both organizations are
doing effective work in spreading an in
fluence positively opposed to the saloon.
State prohibition two years hence, de
clare the temperance workers, will more
surely be brought about by adding to the
dry" territory in the coming election.
With this object in view elections on the
subject of county prohibition will be held
in the following 18 counties this year:
Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Crook, Doug
las. Grant, Harney. Jackson, Josephine,
Klamath, Lake, Marion, Morrow, Polk,
Umatilla, Union, Wasco and Washington.
included in this list are the Ave only
counties in the state in which there Is
no "dry" territory, as follows: Grant,
Harney, Klamath, Lake and Polk. On
the petition of the liquor men the ques
tion of county prohibition will be resub
mitted in June in the following counties:
Linn, Lane, Sherman and Wasco.
Bothered by Law Suits. -The
local optlonists have also filed peti
tions for precinct and subdivision precinct
elections In nine counties. Including Mult
nomah, in which 13 of these petitions have
Deen tiled. A majority of these petitions
have been attacked on legal grounds and
tne question of deciding in which
precincts the election .will be held will be
determined some time this week. This
list of counties also includes Clackamas.
Wasco, Umatilla, Grant, Lake, Josephine,
Unnirlafl an1 Tfavfnn
With the exception of Marion County,
all of these counties will also vote on
county prohibition, but the anti-saloon
people decided to take up the crusade
from two positions, arguing that should
the county as a whole go "wet" it Is
possible that some of the precincts may
oust the saloon and add more territory
to that already gained.
"For four months the Anti-Saloon
League workers have been laboring as
siduously and successfully to organize
the state or such counties in the state
as were desired for voting on the local
option question at the general election
June 1," said James R. Knodell, superin
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League of
Oregon, yesterday. "Eighteen counties
have filed petitions with their respective
County Ctnjrts for an election. In addi
tion, about 23 precincts and combinations
of precincts have done the same. Forty
one separate opportunities will be given
the people of the state to say whether
or not they want the saloon.
Canvass Is Encouraging.
"Not one of these would have been
filed If, after Investigation, It had not
appeared to us that we would be success
ful. In the interior counties Klamath,
Lake, Crook. Grant and Harney we find
that the cattlemen and ranchers are ar
rayed against the saloon and probably
will vote it out of their territory. The
same Is true in mining districts among
the employers of labor and the laborers
themselves. We find both joining the
ranks of the anti-saloon people.
"During the last few months we hava
been solicited by every county in the
state, with the exception of one, to carry
our fight Into every county and drive out
the saloon. ' But this Is not a fight for
this year only, or to carry the easy spots
in the state. Our unchangeable purpose
is never to cease In our efforts, nor to
turn aside In our endeavors, until every
licensed liquor dispensary in Oregon Is
closed. Wherever we succeed in June we
will inaugurate in July a campaign of
law enforcement. We do not expect the
saloons to lie down when the ballot only
Is against them. Also, wherever we are
defeated in June, we will immediately
arrange for another campaign.
" 'What Next' meetings will be held all
over the state, whether we win or lose
on June 1 and the plans for future work
will be arranged. The benefits we will
gain in this present struggle Is the align
ment of our forcea against the saloon
and the training we will get for a greater
battle in 1910."

process Is that these bodies are not'
mere accidental parts of the food, or
products of its digestion, but definite
chemical substances, which can be iso
lated from the blood of one animal and
injected into the body of another, and
will promptly cause a flow of digestive
Juice. They do not, like a toxin or
living poison, set up any antitoxic re
action on the part of the body, and a
dose that will produce a given effect

given for a considerable length of time

necessary. They have the same curious
special or selective effect upon some
particular organ or system of the body,
as, for Instance, morphine has upon the
central nervous system, digitalis upon
the heart, and Epsom salts upon the
intestines. This opens a wide and
hopeful vista of possibilities, that, by
continued and patient studies, we may
yet be able to Isolate from our foods
and from the body tissues themselves
these special substances, Nature's own
curatives, with which may be harm
lessly and effectively roused to action
such bodily organs or functions as may
be sluggish or overwhelmed. This is
in harmony with the strong tendency
among progressive and thoughtful phy
sicians to'utillze more and more in the
treatment of disease foods and sub
stances and extracts derived from the
arlands and other organs of the body
itself. We may be found to carry with
in us the best remedies for our own
diseases.
