BY REPUBLICANS
Support for All the Nominees
Pledged at Union Club's
Monthly Smoker.
REMARKS BY CANDIDATES
Keference to Fulton's Support of
Cake Received With Applause.
Cameron Opens His Campaign.
"Straight Ticket" Slogan.
Support of the entire Republican
ticket by every Republican voter In the
June election was the central thought
of a number of enthusiastic talks at
the monthly smoker of the Union Re
publican Club In the Marquam building
last night. John Gill, president of the
Club, presided at the meeting, which
was for the double purpose of ratifying
the Republican ticket nominated at the
primary election and celebrating the
first anniversary of the Club. A num
ber of the candidates on the legislative
ticket were Introduced anil made brief
remarks. The Oregon Male Quartet
sang several selections.
In calling to order the audience of
300 voters. Mr. GUI said he was con
vinced the Republicans of the state
and particularly of Multnomah County
are getting closer together and that
any differences that might have arisen
in the primary election have been ad
justed. Enthusiastic applause followed
the remark of the presiding officer in
referring to Senator Fulton, whose ex
ample, he said. In supporting Cake ac
tively should commend Itself to all
Republicans as suggesting to them the
only course they should follow. He
concluded by asserting that no Repub
lican should support for office any
Democrat for the reason that all Demo
crats are Inimical not only to Senator
Fulton and Mr. Cake, personally, but
to the Republican party and Its prin
ciples, as well.
Judge Cameron Talks.
George J. Cameron, candidate for
District Attorney, was the first speaker
introduced. This was Mr. Cameron's
Initial public address in the interest of
his candldaoy and he devoted his re
marks largely to a criticism of his
opponent. District Attorney Manning,
who wa charged with, extravagance
and Incompetency. Mr. Cameron first
explained that his residence of 18
years In Portland had been an active
one in the Interest of the Republican
party, whose nominees he had always
supported.
"My opponent bases his claims for
renomination on only two things he
professes to nave accomplished, accord
ing to his printed cards," said Mr.
Cameron, "and they are: Conviction
of Ross and the restoration to deposi
tors of their money in the Ross bank.
Mr. Manning did neither. He was not
only not responsible for securing to
depositors their claims but he did not
convict Ross, either. I was present dur
ing the trial of the case at Salem, and
I failed to hear the District Attorney
say one word during Its progress."
Continuing. Mr. Cameron charged that
the prosecution of Ross was conducted
by a special private prosecutor, who re
ceived a fee of $500 as a retainer. In
addition, he said over $800 was spent
by the District Attorney's office for
detectives' fees in the Ross bank case.
The ability of Mr. Manning as a pros
ecutor was attacked by the speaker,
who charged that the retrial of
Blodgett and Walton was the result of
blunders made by the incumbent of the
District Attorney's office, as was shown
by the reversal of those cases by the
Supreme Court.
Referring to his administration an
Municipal Judge. Mr. Cameron asserted
that during the last three years he had
saved to the taxpayers of Multnomah
County (55,000, while, aside from sal
aries, the total expenses of his court
had not exceeded J150 for the same per
iod. Mr. Cameron declared for a re
turn to the grand jury system and
promised that If elected he would give
an honest, conscientious, upright and
fearless administration of the office. He
was received with considerable ap
plause.
Talks for Straight Ticket.
As an inspiration for the support of
the straight ticket by Republicans. J.
D. Lee, the next speaker, reviewed
briefly the history of the Republican
party and Its repeated successes over
the Democrats, who always were seek
ing an issue. "The candidates on the
Republican ticket measure up to the
highest requirement of ability and . in
tegrlty," said Mr. Lee," and there is
no reason why they should not receive
the united support of their party."
Party loyalty was pointed out by
County Judge L. R. Webster as the only
Infallible key to success. "The trouble
with Republicans," said he, "is that we
have too many of the 'cold-storage' type.
The only way to correct this condition is
to arouse In members of the party the
necessity for placing principle above men.
We shall always have a divided If not
a defeated party as long as we hang
to Individuality and personality of can
dldates. The Republicans have nom
lnated their ticket in a primary election
and it is now the duty of the party to
stand by that ticket and see that it is
elected."
Others to address the meeting were
Ben Rlesland, whose mention of Secre
tary Taft as the logical candidate to
succeed President Roosevelt, was re
ceived with a big demonstration: R. G,
Morrow, candidate for Circuit Judge; J
W. Ball, for Justice of the Peace: C
N. McArthur and L. D. Mahone, of the
Legislative ticket.
BOURNE MAN RAPS TAFT
John C. Young Says Bryan Would
jDefeat Him for President.
PORTLAND, May 8 (To the Editor.)
On April 11. 1WW The Dally Orejronian
Di-lnted masterly editorial analysis of Mr.
Taft a proepecta- It said there is great
nantrer, and rave ita reasons why. tna
Mr. Taft, If he rets the nomination, will lose
the labor vote, much of the farmer vote, and
practically all the negro vote in the doubt
ful Ptatea.
"But," said The Oregonian. "nomination
1a not election. ... It mar be that Mr.
Taft's best hope of compensating the leased
which he tnuat expect among the negroes
and m-orkingmen lies In a huge secession
from the Democratic party which may fol
low the nomination of Bryan. But this -cession
ts problematic. The chances are
that It will not be very extensive, and It
may not take place at all. if It does not
how can Mr. Taft be elected?"
It Is apparent to many Republicans out
side of the Taft "push that his nomina
tlon means Bryan's election. Nor are the
wiM ones who are manipulating his politi
-al fortunes blinded by their own mtsrepre
ppntatlons to the people concerning Mr,
Taft's strength, for they are extremely anx
t-fou tha-t- tko Denver convention shall name
some other Democrat than Bryaai. and are
even charged with the reporuribllity of
booming both Johnson and Judwe Gray for
the Democratic nomination In order to get
an easier mark for Mr. Taft in November.
This activity and Intermeddling by Mr.
Taft's "boomers" comen from the perfectly
well recognized inherent weakness of the
War Secretary with the plain people of all
parties, and the equally well recognized
Inherent strength of Bryan as the people's
second choice Roosevelt, in their hearts,
being first.
Now. Oregon's nominal 30.000 Republican
majority hanKS upon the public policies
which the public eye sees Incarnated in
President Roosevelt -more than it does upon
any platform or any party ties. And that
um public eye sees, or thdnks It sees, the
same policies incarnated In Bryan.
Mr. Taft is recognized for Just what he is,
and but for the "big stick" pushing him to
th6 fore, he would long slnne have dropped
out of the race as an Impossible candidate.
He la repellent to a large contingent of
voters who do not believe tlmt be embodies
in his conscience a devotion, to the policies
which Presidemt Roosevelt tnfllsts on com
mitting to his hands. If. therefore. It be
comes known, which It must be U a fact,
practically before our June election, that
Secretary Taft has. of the 880 votes the
necessary 401 pledged to nominate him on
the first ballot. Bryan's nomination at Den
ver In July will be assured, and Oregon's
BOiOOO nominal Republican majority will
be tried out In June and lit November on its
devotion to those Roosevelt principles it may
conceive to be Incarnated in Bryan on the
one hand, and their lack - of Incarnation In
Mr. Taft upon the other.
Factional differences In .the Republican
party In Oregon based upon conflicting per
sonal ambitions, in which and for which
the general pubfiic has little concern and no
sympathy, opens an easy roan down to de
feat. The most effective and Immediate aid
to this result. In the opinion of many, will
be for Oregon Republicans to add their
eight votes to Mr. Taft's necessary 401;
and when they -have done that, and Mr.
Toft's nomination Is assured, and Mr.
Bryan's election -brought within the circle
of probability, the reiiex effect upon our
Senatorial election In June I think will be
serious. Mr. Chamberlain looses as an ex
ponent of all that Roosevelt advocates. He
declares, and many people unquestionably
believe him. that Roosevelt. Bryan and
Chamberlain are "three of a kind."
Just now the bone of contention among
the faotlons In the Republican party based,
of course, on personal ambition, is as to
whether the party's eight delegates to the
National convention shall go to Chicago
unlnstructed. or go instructed for Taft. If
wisdom Instead of passion were governing
the counsels of the party. In view of the
fact that Oregon has less than one per cent
of the National delegates. It would dictate
an anti-friction policy. The party should
not permit Itself to .be dragged down to
defeat in June and in November to vent a
spleen or to administer a vengeance.
If It is the design to put Oregon in the
Democratic column in order to discredit the
primary election law and Statement No. 1,
let the responsibility rest where it belorors.
It will not belong ua Senator Bourne, his
friends and Statement No. 1 Republicans,
for they will support Statement No. 1 can
didates for the Legislature, H.. M. Cake for
United States Senator and the nominee and
platform of the Chicago convention.

TROL BY TAFT
IS
Eourne Domination of State
and District Conventions
Seems Unlikely.
FULTON TO BE DELEGATE
Bourne May Have Some Honor if
Instructed Delegation Is Sent to
Chicago His Activity . Haa
Produced the Present Issue.
That Taft men will control the Repub
lican State convention and the two Con
gressional conventions in Portland next
Thursday Is altogether probable. But
that they can secure Instructions for Taft
Is a matter of doubt. That Senator Ful
ton will be chosen a National delegate is
quite likely. That he will certainly be
selected if Senator Bourne should be
named there Is little question. That
Bourne would be chosen a delegate were
he supporting Taft instead of fighting
him. is undisputed. That the demand for
instructions would be much less formid
able were Bourne not striving to control
Oregon's National delegates, is evident.
That selection of Bourne will strengthen
the demand lor instructions can be clearly
foreseen.
This much can be told with close ap
proximation to accuracy. But much re
mains untold. One of the riddles is the
question whether Bourne's followers can
convince the county delegates that Taft's
nomination Is yet uncertain and perhaps
impossible. Realizing the strong Taft
sentiment that will exist in the conven
tion, the Bourne men are saying: that
Taft by no means Is sure of the nomina
tion and that Oregon's eight delegates In
tne .National convention should not Be
tied to him.
Bourne's Activity Produced Issue.
Bourne's efforts to represent Oresron
in the National Convention: his oppo
sition to Taft; his fight against Taft
instructions these matters have
brought the Instruction question to
issue. Bourne's opponents say that it
will be absolutely necessary to Instruct
him if he should be a delegate, since
there is no telling- how independent he
would maintain himself from the other
Oregon- delegates in the National Con
vention. They say that Bourne cannot
be relied upon to work with the ma
jority of the Oregon delegates. They
cite his conduct in "Washington when,
arter agreeing to act with Representa
tives Hawley and Ellis and Senator
Pulton for selection of a man for
United States District Attorney for
Oregon, he secretly obtained the Presi
dent's temporary approval of Chris
Schuebel, thus breaking his pact with
ms colleagues. They say that In the
National Convention Bourne might
treat nis teiiow delegates the same
way, unless he were bound by instruc
tions. A big effort will be put forth in the
state convention for Taft instructions.
The Fulton and the Mulkey supporters
of Tart say they are sure the state con
vention will instruct. They admit that
a formidable number of delegates have
been opposing instructions, especially
in Multnomah, but aver that when the
convention day comes this opposition
will have largely disappeared.
On the other side the Bourne men
say there wlil be no Instructions for
Taft nor for any candidate for Presi
dent. They showed more disposition
yesterday to admit the predominance
of Taft sentiment among the delegates.
Their strong play now Is to convince
the delegates, if possible, that while
Taft may be the leading candidate, he
has no certainty of nomination. . If
Taft should be defeated in the Nation
al Convention,' they point out that in
structions would put this state in bad
plight. Oregon would be just as well
off In any event without instructions,
they say. Its delegates could accom
plish just as much if not bound to
Taft.
Instruct Bourne, II Chosen.
Much of this argument would be ad
mitted by the Fulton and the Mulkey and
the other supporters of Taft, were Bourne
not a candidate for National delegate.
They declare that 1f Bourne shall be
chosen to go to Chicago, It will be
absolutely necessary to bind him to the
will of the Oregon state convention with
Instructions, However, a considerable
number of Taft men oppose instructions,
even though they are not especially
friendly to Bourne. In order to hold these
In line against the anti-Instruction work
of the Bourne followers, it has been pro
posed to bind the Oregon delegates by
the unit rule, thus obliging adherence of
all the National delegates from this state
to the will of their majority. "While that
would not absolutely prevent one or two
or three of the Oregon delegates from
bolting from the majority. It would have
no small binding force.
Of Multnomah's 47 delegates In the state
convention, probably not fewer than 30
are supporters of Taft. About the same
number are opposed to Taft instructions.
About a dozen want both Taft and Taft
instructions. Some 18 Taft men therefore.
oppose Taft instructions. At the meeting
of tne Multnomah delegates last Thurs
day night those of the 18 who were
present voted with the Bourne men far
an anti-instruction resolution. This vaSWe
the Bourne following appear stronger

ILL-ADVISED, HE DECLARES
Iiife Insurance Statistician Attacks
Old-Age Pensions.
RICHMOND, Va., May 8. Before the
National conference of charities and cor
rections today, papers were read by Miss
Kate Halllday Claghorn, of New York,
statistician of the tenement-house depart-
sjnent; Frederick K. Hoffman of. Newark,
CON
MEN
PROBABLE
N. J., -and Mrs. Harriet Fulmer, of Chi
cago. Mr. Hoffman, who Is statistician
of the Prudential Insurance Company of
America, started the conference by his
attitude on old age pensions. He held
that the agitation for state pensions in
the United States Is ill-advised, and that
its continuation will remove many Incen
tives for thrift among working people.
Mr. Hoffman discussed at some length
the subject of old age as the cause of
poverty, stating at the outset of his ad
dress that the problem of the aged poor
is worldwide and something must be done
for them either through private charity or
the state. The problem which confronts
society is whether what Is to be -done for
the aged poor should rest on a sound
economic basis, rather than that the cir
cumstances should be governed by irra
tional and' precarious sentiment.
In continuation, Mr. Hoffman discussed
in some detail the technical problems of
old-age pension systems of Germany -and
Austria, and at some length the numerous
proposals for old-age pensions in England.
In his opinion, a contributory pension
scheme was the only workable solution
of an extremely complex' problem, but
much more preferable would be measures
and means by which any state system of
old-age pensions could be avoided.
Mr. Hoffman then discussed methods of
voluntary savings and insurance, holding
that much was already being done by
wage-earners to provide- for support In
their old age, and that much more could
be done in this direction if the masses
were educated In effective methods of
thrift. "I hold," he said, "that the agi
tation for state pensions in the United
States is ill-advised In that the problem
of poverty in old age, as generally met
with, is primarily the result of Ill-spent
years, or Ill-spent earnings, or ill-spent
savings, and what is needed most is ra
tional education in household economics.
At the root of the problem of poverty
and old age lies the proper conception of
Individual responsibility, and this no doubt
would be weakened and partly destroyed
by reliance upon state support in old age.
The establishment by the United States
Government of a Public Health Depart
ment and the appointment of a Board of
Control for the management of United
States prisoners were advocated at section
meetings.
STEAL BLOODED STOCK
Horse Thieves Have Rendezvous in

TACOMA, .Wash., May 8. (Special.)

Use and Recommend
NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
Extravagant claims for toilet remedies do not influence theatrical people, because long experience
enables them to discriminate intelligently. They demand merit and will rarely use a preparation that is
not actually worth as much or more than it costs in dollars and cents.
Herpicide kills the dandruff germ and by actual test does more good than all other hair remedies com
bined. This accounts for its popularity in theatrical circles.
"Queen Roselle" writes of
Newbro's Herpicide
"I take pleasure in announcing the very sat
isfactory results I have had from the use of
Newbro s Herpicide. My hair was falling out
so rapidly that I was afraid I would lose It all.
A friend advised Herpicide, and after using it
faithfully my hair stopped falling out, the

to be seen that if Roosevelt should
be renominated Bourne will be one of
the most prominent public men in the
Nation. I do not see that the nom
ination of any other man could be
injurious to Bourne, for the Repub
licans of the country would like to see
Roosevelt nominated.
"When I visited the House and saw
the crowd that Congressman Hawley
has to associate with I really felt
ashamed. In Intellect, oratorical
ability and devotion to the Interests
of the people, Hawley stands head and
shoulders above the great majority of
the members of the National House of
Representatives. You haven't any
idea what Inferior men some states
send to Congress. Of course, there are
a few able men there, but Hawley is
far above the average. You can tell
that Jay just looking at the faces of
the Congressmen and watching their
actions." ,

"For years I was annoyed with dan
druff and Itching of the scalp, all due to
my twenty years of theatrical life with
its incumbent "make-up" and wig wear
ing. At times the itchlng'of the scalp was
intense. All remedies failed me until I
tried Herpicide," and I s"on found that it
was giving wonderful results. The itch
ing and als the dandruff entirely ceased
and my hair resumed its natural life and
vigor.
There is no question in my mind about
the reality of the dandruff germ, and I
unhesitatingly recommend Herpicide to
my fTicnds in the profession."
