In that event John M. Gearln for
United Stages Senator or some other
Democrat, should Gearln be Governor.
Joy relsns in the hearts of Demo
crats over the possibility of Joint vic
tory for Bryan and Chamberlain, and
the ensuing: rewards for Democratic
faithfuls who have not had a taste of
Federal pie since the days of Presi
dent Cleveland, 12 years and more a faro.
So happy are the patriots that they
are already talking about filling- the
offices of Republicans like C. J. Reed,
United States Marshal; Colonel D. M.
Dunne, Collector of Internal Revenue;
John Mlnto, Postmaster of Portland; P.
H. Malcolm, Collector of Customs In
Portland, and other Jobs. And In or
der to keep the patronage of Oregon's
Governor, they are looking again
toward Harry Lane to learn whether
he has been damaged by recent en
counters. The full measure of Democratlo Joy
is not revealed, however, lest It drive
Republican Statement One members of
Chamberlain will mean Democratic
patronage for Oregon, it Is not consld
the Legislature into refusing to elecc
Chamberlain. For although election of
Federal patronage for Oregon, it Is not
considered good politics at this time to
bring up the subject. That will be
partisan politics.
Chamberlain's election, coupled with
that of Bryan or any other Democrat
for President, would bring far more
fruits than only Chamberlain in the
Senate. Democrats count Bryan's elec
tion over Tafc a likely outcome. In
fact, the prospect for a Democratic
President they think better than for a
long time. It is natural, therefore, for
Democrats to look ahead to the time
when Federal offices in Oregon again
will be possessed by Democrats, and to
prepare for that happy day. So the
faithful are getting themselves ready
and sidling up to Chamberlain.
Some there are who aver that Tom
"Word's campaign for Sheriff of Mult
nomah County was fought for the long
range purpose of putting "Word first in
line for United States Marshal, by keep
ing him in the public eye and showing
him the leading eligible of the Demo
cratic party lor that office. Other
Democrats worthy of recognition are
Alex Sweek, chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, and George H. Thomas,
chairman of the Multnomah cenfral
committee, who have never yet been
rewarded for their arduous service In
the party's Interest. Alex Sweek would
be entitled to a high-grade position like
that of Postmaster of Portland or Col
lector of Customs. Next in order of
rank comes Mr. Thomas, and for him
the office of Revenue Collector would be
appropriate.
The Democrats are in high fettle, and
no mistake. And why not? Has not
Chamberlain a good chance to be United
States Senator and Bryan to be Presi
dent? DOES WELIj BT UNIVERSITY
Eugene Rolls- T.'p Majority of 17 80
for Appropriation.
EUGENE, Or., June 4. (Special.) The
official count for Lane County will not
begin before tomorrow, as Middle Fork
precinct has not come In. There is no
close contest on any candidates, however,
and while the count of four precincts,
aggregating 50 votes, has not been re
ported, the complete returns will not be
of much Interest. The reports sent in
toy telephone and mail are not carefully
compiled, but Cake's majority in this
county, over Chamberlain, will be between
650 and 700. All state and district Re
publicans lead by overwhelming ma
jorities. All Republican candidates for
county offices, with the exception of Sher
iff, will be elected by large majorities.
Harry Bowen, Democrat, is elected Sher
iff by 921 votes. The vote on Legislative
candidates is I E. Bean 3339. W. W.
Calkins 3"i64. Allen Eaton 37S5, Edmund
son (Democrat) 2273. The three first, all
Republicans, will represent Lane in the
Legislature.
The majority for the University appro
priation bill has grown to 1780. and may
reach ISOO. The county will go dry- by
about 650 votes. In Eugene, which went
wet two years ago, the dry majority will
be 70. In Springfield, which also went
wet two years ago, the drys will carry
by 55 votes.
The vote on the initiative and referen
dum measures will not be known in de
tail until the final count, there being not
enough interest in these measures to get
reports on them. The measures were,
however, quite generally voted on
throughout the county. The county high
school measure carried by a majority of
three or four to one.

Even Break on Statement In Doug
las County.
ROSEBURG, Or., June 3. (Special.)
To cast his vote for Chamberlain for
United States Senator is the unalter
able purpose of Senator Albert Abra
ham, of this city. Abraham, who is a
Republican and purported Statement
No. 1, in an interview today declared
that under nn i.lriiimatan..Aa 1
vote for any ether than Chamberlain, J
unless Chamberlain should voluntarily
withdraw his name. While Abraham
has no pet measures of any jslnd, he Is
particularly partial to the enactment
of railroad legislation in support of
the National legislation on that sub
ject. He will undoubtedly also be a
firm friend of the Normal Schools.
George Jones, Representative, will
follow in Abraham's footsteps as far
as voting for Chamberlain is concerned.
This makes an even division in Doug
las County, as Joint Representative
Buchanan and Representative Apple
gate, both Republican, are unpledged.

OREGON CITY, Or.. June 4. (Special.)

yet been compared. Cake received 2132
and Chamberlain 2666. Hawley has 3163
and Whitney 1339, a majority of 834 for
the present Congressman. This repre
sents the straight Republican and Demo
cratic vote. Bean obtained 4033, and

It is difficult to obtain authentic re
turns from the various counties of the
state on the several initiative and ref
erendum constitutional amendments
voted on at the election June 1. Some
of the counties make no returns what
ever on the amendments and it will
be Impossible to learn anything about
them until the official returns are
canvassed. From the returns at hand,
however, although yet quite Incom
plete, it is possible to state with rea
sonable accuracy the results. The

measures are estimated by The Ore
gonlan as follows:

an adverse vote of nearly three to one
against Increasing the pay of Legis

jority against increasing the number
of judges of the Supreme Court and
otherwise enlarging the powers of the
court.
Sheriff Stevens has won his fight in
the referendum on the bill placing the
custody of prisoners in his hands by
about two to one, while compulsory
passes goes down in disaster with
nearly the same proportional vote.
The armory bill did well In Multno
mah County, but in the state at large
the opinion of the voters is largely
against it.
Woman suffrage has lost by at least
"5,000, the largest vote ever cast
against this proposition in the four
times it has been submitted to the peo
ple of Oregon.
The Reddy or open-town bill, which
had the enthusiastic support of saloons
and allied interests, had a large vote in
Multnomah and several other countle's,
but In the dry counties It was not so
popular and has undoubtedly lost by a
considerable margin.
Single tax carried a large vote in
Multnomah, but in the country dis
tricts it suffered severely and is over
whelmingly boaten.
The recall, mandatory election of
Senators, proportional representation
and corrupt practices all carried by
a large vote. So has the measure re

returns are carried out, but the lower

Railroad offices in . the city made a
holiday of yesterday to allow the em

take part in the festivities to the full

during the time the parade was on
the streets, but they resumed busi

railroad men were enabled in this way
to witness the parade and thoroughly

Corrupt 'Practices Act Re
stricts Candidates' Acts.
TREATING PUT UNDER BAN
"Political Libel" Xew Crime De
fined Under Act Colonization
of Voters to Go Out of "
Fashion.
SALEM. June 4. (Special.) The adop
tion of the corrupt practices act by the
people at the election last Monday will
make the next political campaign a vastly
different one from those which have
been seen in Oregon in the last few years.
For one thing, the advertising plan of
making a campaign, which Senator
Bourne made popular in Oregon, will be
less extensively used In -the future. Two
features of the corrupt practices act will
tend to accomplish this end one a limit
ation on, expenditures, and the other a
requirement that paid advertising be so
marked. Undoubtedly the measure will
have a salutory effect in purifying elec
tions, though some of its provisions seem
unnecessarily severe.
Publicity in the matter of campaign ex
penditures is one of the most important
requirements of the law, and hereafter
It will be necessary for candidates and
party managers to keep an account of
all expenses and file it within 15 days
after the primary 'or general election,
showing contributions to campaign funds
and the purposes for which all money
was spent. Candidates are permitted to
use one page of a pamphlet to be Issued
by the state for the purpose of giving
the voters Information concerning them,
each candidate to pay for the space oc
cupied and in excess of that each can
didate may spend In a primary cam
paign 15 per cent of one year's salary,
and In a general campaign 10 per cent
of one year's salary, though any candi
date may spend as much as $100 if the
percentage should be less than that. A
candidate for Governor will hereafter be
limited to an expenditure of $750 in a
primary campaign and $500 in a general
campaign.
AVhat Candidates Must Xot Do.
Among other things, the new law makes
It a criminal offense to solicit from a
candidate and forbjds a candidate to
treat. A candidate must not bet on an
election, directly or indirectly, must not
promise political appointments, must .not
employ workers 4Dn election day except
as challengers at the polls or watchers
at the count, must not provide buttons
or badges to be worn on election day,
and must not pay any person for the time
lost In going to the polls or pay his
transportation there.
About Political Advertising.
Regulation of political advertising is
one of the important provisions of the
law. Section 33, which bears upon this
subject, says:
Section 33 No publisher of a newspaper
or other periodical shall insert, either In its
advertising or reading columns, any paid
matter which Is designed or tends to, aid. In
jure t or defeat any candidate or political
party or organization, or measure before the
people, unless it is stated therein that it Is
a paid advertisement, the name of the chair
man or secretary, or the names of the other
officers of the political or other organisation
inserting the same, or the name of some
voter who Is responsible therefor, with hi
residence and the street and number thereof.
If any, appear In such advertisement In the
nature of a signature. No person shall pay
the owner, editor, publisher or agent of any
newspapeV or other periodical to induce him
editorially to advocate 'or oppose any candl
dldate for nomination or election, and no such
owner, editor, publisher or agent shall ac
cept such payment. Any person who shall
violate any of the provisions or this section
shall be punlfhed as for a corrupt practice.
"Political Libel" Xew Crime.
The corrupt practices act creates a new
crime, that of "Political Libel." Experi
ence has shown that it Is practically im
possible to convict a man of criminal
libel on account of statements published
regarding a candidate for office, for it is
generally believed by Juries that when
a man offers himself as a candidate for
office he invites the whole world to dis
cuss his private and public life, real or
imaginary. But the new law makes spe
cial provision for the protection of the
reputation of the man who runs for of
fice. As It has been common practice
to tell all sorts of things about candi
dates for office, inasmuch as this policy
will now be hazardous to those who un
dertake It, the section of the new law
defining political libel is here given In
full: t
Section 35 It shall be unlawful to write
print or circulate through the malls or other
wise any letter, circular, bill, placard or
poster relating to any election or to any can
didate at any election, unless the same shall
bear on its face the name and address of the
author and of the printer and publisher
thereof: and any person writing, printing
publishing, circulating, posting, or causing
to be written, printed, circulated, posted or
published any such letter, hill, placard cir
cular or poster as aforesaid, which fails to
bear on Its face the name and address of

WEAK WOMEN
STEED A T0KI0 AS THEY APPEOAOH
THE AGE OP POKTY.
Much Suffering Is Caused by Being Un
prepared to Meet the Extra Strain to
Ii Borne at That Time.
As a woman approaches the age of
forty or thereabouts, she should pay par
ticular attention to her health. The
hard work, which she may have been
accustomed to do and the worry and
excitement of her daily life should be
lessened or avoided as much as possible.
As her health after she passes this time
will depend in a large measure upon it,
every woman owes it to herself to build
up her health during these years. It is
absolutely necessary that the blood be
made pure and rich, thereby enabling all
the organs of the body to perform their
work regularly. For this purpose Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have long been rec
ognized as the standard medicine, be
cause of their great blood-building and
tonic properties.
Mrs. Minnie A. Kehling, a professional
nurse, of 1005 1-2 North Illinois street,
Indianapolis, Ind., Bays:
"An operation for appendicitis left me
In a weakened condition and I approach
ed the age of forty in a poor state of
health. I was sick for two years, being
-very restless and had. sick headaches aU
the time. I did not have much of an
appetite and lived mostly on frulta and
light foods, but even these caused so
much gas on my stomach that I was
continually belching it. Oftentimes
there seemed to be a weight on my
stomach.
"I was doctoring with local physi
cians but did not get better so decided
to give them up and try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills which I had .read about in
the paper. I noticed after taking a few
boxes of the pills that I was beginning
to get a little color. I took several boxes
more and was cured. I have been in
good health ever since and able to. do
mv work."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are adapted
for diseases due to impure blood and
shattered nerves. They are invaluable
in amemia, rheumatism, after-effects of
the grip and fevers and sick headaches,
dizziness, nervousness, neuralgia, and
even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia.
A valuable booklet entitled "Plain
Talks to Women" will be sent free, in
a sealed envelope, upon request, to any
woman interested.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 60 cents per box;

If any letter, circular, poster, bill, publica
tion or piacard shall contain any false state
ment or charges reflecting on any candidate's
character, morality or integrity, the author
thereof and every person printing or know

be guilty of political criminal libel and.

ground to believe such charge- was true and
did believe it was true, and that he was not
actuated by malice In making such - publica

charge. But in that event, and as a part of
such defense, the author and the printer or
publisher or other person charged with such
crime shall also prove that, at least 15 days
before such letter, circular, pester, bill or
placard containing such false statement or
statements was printed or circulated, he or
they caused to be served personally and 1ft

by .. the accused candidate within 10 days
after the service of such charge upon the ac
cused person.
Xo More "Colonizing."
Colonization of voters receives a severe
jolt at the hands of the corrupt prac
tices act, for the publicity provision will
prevent payment of money for such pur
poses and there is another section which
prohibits securing a position, either pub
lic or private, for a voter with a view
to Influencing his vote. Moreover, elec
tioneering Is prohibited on election day
and the class of voters who can be col
onized are generally men who must be
taken care of on election day. in a manner
that would violate the electioneering pro
vision. The section relating to electioneering on
election day will put an end to the oc
cupation of those men who have made
a business of handing out cards at the
polls. The section on this subject says:
Section 34 It shall be unlawful for any
person at any place on the day of any elec
tion to ask. solicit or In any manner try to
Induce or persuade any voter on such elec
tion day to vote for or refrain from voting
for any candidate, or the candidates or ticket
of any political party or organization, or
any measure submitted to the peonle. and
upon conviction thereof he shall be punished
by fine of not less than $5 nor more than $100
for the first ofTense. and for the second and
each subsequent offense occurring on the
same or different election days, he shall be
punished by fine as aforesaid, or bv Impris
onment In the County Jail for not less than
five or more than 30 days, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment.

BRING NO FURTHER SUITS
1'nited States Attorney McCourt Says
Government Contemplates None.
United States Attorney McCourt yes
terday denied the report that the Gov
ernment contemplated bringing further
suits at this time to cancel patents to
valuable timber land in this state. It had
been rumored that suit would be filed by
the Government this week against the
Minneapolis Lumber Company to recover
about 10.000 acres of. timber lands alleged
to have been acquired fraudulently by
that company In this state. The rumor
was to the effect that the Minneapolis
concern had operated in this state when
the public lands were being seized by
wealthy Eastern ttmbermen and by em
ploying the same methods had obtained
Its full share of the spoils.
District Attorney McCourt says there
are no such suits pending In this state,
although he stands ready at any time to
take steps to restore to the Government
all lands that have been stolen. The
suit brought by District Attorney Mc
Court against C. A. Smith, the million
aire Minnesota timberman, will probably
be called at the July term of the Federal
Court.'
