WESTERN CHIEFS
CALLED TO MEET
Hitchcock to Hold Conferences
Soon With His Various
Lieutenants.
WINDY CITY HEADQUARTERS
Hepublican Campaign Probably Di
rected From There National and
Congressional Committees to
Hare Joint Literary Bureau.
WASHINGTON, July 15. Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican
National committee, will open the cam
paign of 1908 in the Far West. Practically
the first move in the campaign will be
made at Colorado Springs. Colo., next
Monday and Tuesday. At that time in
the Antlers Hotel, at Colorado Springs.
Mr. Hitchcock will hold a conference
with Republican leaders of all the states
and territories west of the Missouri
River. Represented at the conferences
will be North Dakota, South Dakota. Ne
braska. Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. Mon
tana. Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Idaho, I'tah, Arizona. Nevada, Washing
ton. Oregon and California. The Repub
lican chairman and the Republican Na
tional committeemen of these states and
territories have been invited by Mr.
Hitchcock to attend the conference and
all of them haw notified him of their
intention to be. present.
Plan Campaign in West.
It Is the purpose of Mr. Hitchcock in
bringing the Republican leaders of the
West together in this way to consider
plans for the campaign in that territory.
It is his desire that the leaders should
become acquainted with one another so
that each should feel that he has a part
to perform, not only in the conduct of the
campaign, but in the formulation of plans,
and that there should be co-operative
measures among all of them to bring
about a general result.
At the Colorado Springs conference care
ful plans will be mapped out for the
campaign in the West; methods will be
discussed and speakers for the various
states arranged for, so far as may be
possible.
Conferences in Other Sections.
In the near future similar conferences
will be held by Mr. Hitchcock with Re
publican leaders in the Middle West and
in the East. The place of the Middle
West conference will be Chicago and it
possibly will be held about ten days after
the Colorado Springs conference. Some
time subsequently the conference of the
Eastern leaders will be held in New York
City.
Headquarters in Chicago?
It can be said to be not unlikly that
Mr. Hitchcock may make his permanent
headquarters during the campaign in Chi
cago instead of New York. Final decision
of the matter may depend to some extent
upon the selection of a vice-chairman of
the National Committee. It has not been
determined yet who that may be and it
Is not the purpose of Mr. Hitchcock to
name the vice-chairmen until he is pre
pared to announce the National Executive
Committee. He may not make this an
nouncement until early in August.
Mr. Hitchcock returned today from New
York, where he completed the. prelimi
nary arrangements for the headquarters
and closed contracts for many necessary
supplies. When he visited Representative
Sherman at L'tica, plans were practically
perfected by which there will be intimate
co-operation between the Republican Na
tional and Congressional Committees.
Unite Literary Bureaus.
Tt has been decided that the literary
bureaus shall be merged into one and
that the work shall be directed from Na
tional headquarters. Francis Curtis, who
has had extended experience in campaign
editorial work with the Congressional
committee will havechargeof the editorial
work while some man yet to bo selected
will have charge of the executive work of
the literary bureau. It is not improbable
that while the Identity of the committee
"Will be preserved, the speakers' bureaus
tnay also ba directed from National head
quarters. Mr. Hitchcock expressed gratification to
day at the condition of Mr. Sherman's
health.
BOtRXE WILL ADVISE TAFT
Ask Htm for Pledge Not to Dictate
Own Successor.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July it. A special dispatch to a
Washington paper from Hot Springs an
nounces tonight that Senator Bourne is
expected there next week to confer with
W. H. Taft in the hope of inducing him
to Insert in his speech of acceptance a
declaration that he will not undertake. If
elected, to dictate the selection of his
successor. The dispatch adds:
"For Mr. Taft to include such a state
ment either in his speech or letter of ac
ceptance. It may be retorted, would be an
admission by inference, at least, that his
own nomination was brought about by
Roosevelt dictation. However true this
may be, Mr. Taft will not Jump at an
opportunity publicly to concede the fact,"
In view of Mr. Bourne's very bitter at
tacks upon Mr. Taft prior to the conven
tion and his repeated declaration that
Mr. Taft. if nominated, would be defeated
by Mr. Bryan, the Oregon Senator is not
likely to have the heartiest kind of
reception at Hot Springs. His efforts to
Influence the Republican nominee, it is
pointed out, does not show entire con
sistency on his part, for if he believes
Mr. Taft cannot he elected, he should re
gard It as immaterial what Mr. Taffs
speech of acceptance contains.
The Washington Times tonight, editor
ially comments on Mr. Bourne's latest
Interview, describing him as the "Senator
from Washington." and says:
"Senator Bourne seems to be as thor
oughly wrought up on that point as he
was over his movement in behalf of a
'second elective term.' However, it is
more than possible Senator Bourne will
recover, even though Candidate Taft
should fail in his letter of acceptance
to promise that he will not try to name
his successor. Senator Bourne says he
anchors his faith to the Intelligent pat
riotism of the American electorate If
he will anchor far enough off chore to
get the benefit of the cooling breeses
he will feel better ere the real campaign
begins." .
Bourne States Position.
Following is the statement of Mr.
Bourne to which these quotations refer:
Jt lo not only the riplit but the th:iv cf
every member of a great political parti- to
xpres his preference in the selection of
hi party's candidates for public servants I
had my preference for the ofTue of Presi
dent and expressed It. slvtnjr reasons there
for, and had no second choice. I believed
the country's and the partv's choice was
Theodore Roosevelt, the remarkable demon
stration at the mention of hto name during
the setcood day of the National convention
Terjfymc this opinion.
men I believed, and still believe, he lncar-
nates the policies of th people, with cour
age and determination to establish them as
essential to the advancement of our ma
terial National welfare, essential to the
development and elevation of American ;
character and citizenship those policies
that the people demand. Because he is
honest and virile, he commands the confi
dence of the great public as no other Amer
ican ever has. and on that account he is
submitted to by his party in the naming of
his successor. The utilization of this con
fidence was most desirable, however, in the
solution of Important problems before the
country, the chief being the attainment of
the greatest possible co-operaive efficiency
between labor and capital based on Justice
to all concerned, with the elimination of
persecutions based on either public or pri
vate clamor.
In the public mind Roosevelt Is a demon
stration. He has won the confidence of the
people, and In consequence thereof he was
the greatest personal asset the country pos
sessed, the value of which asset depending,
however, not only on his ability and de
termination, but on his power to demon
strate In the office of President that abil
ity and determination to best serve his coun
try and to better the conditions of his coun
trymen. As the hour of his retirement ap
proaches, hie power to demonstrate will
continually diminish until, when the di
vorcement finally takes place, he will be thn
man divested of potentiality further to
serve his country In any extraordinary rela
tion. And then It will remain to be seen
whether Mr. Roosevelt's successor shall be
able to redeem that confidence which he and
the Republican party, act in a with him,
have reposed in Secretary Taft.
Roosevelt's Precedent Dangerous.
Anxious for the perpetuation of the "peo
ple's," row commonly called "Roosevelt pol
icies'; fearful of belnjr charged with Incon
sistency, fearful of beinrr charged with icon
oclastic designs upon the third-term tradi
tion that has grown foolish with the passim-
long since of the occasion that justi
fied its vogue, President Roosevelt has In
troduced an element of danger into our po
litical rules of action that may be potential
enough to destroy our party.
As a result of the methods employed to
nominate Secretary Taft, residuary legatee-:
ship In the White House Is more Imminent,
havinn this precedent, than perpetuity of
dynasty in a monarchy where natural
causes operate to extinguish families.
Secretary Taft's letter of acceptance
should anticipate ppmoeratle opposition in
respect to this matter and in terms quiet
apprehension for the future. He should
state specifically that. If tne peopl elect
him as their chief public servant, he will,
to the best of his ability, serve the people
aa long as they command him so to do. but
when his party or the electorate relieve him
of service, he -will in no manner attempt
to select his successor, other than to give
loval support to his party's selection. He
should make plain and should elucidate the
terms of the platform touching labor and
capital, for together, with their respective
differentiations, they constitute the whole
Industrial force of society and are the chief
concerns of government.
After all. I anchor my political faith In
the intelligent patriotism of the American
electorate as It finds expression through the
great Republican party, which may some
time list, but never founder, and In this
confidence I accept the decrees and the
candidates of the Chicago convention, and
pledge them my loyal adherence and sup
port in November.

The Mayor of Dallas tonight . gave a
hsnquet to the retiring and Incoming of
ficers. It was a select affair.
The souvenir sent by the Portland
lodge, consisting of photographs of the
city, has attracted much attention and
caused more favorable comment than
anything of like character within the
memory of the oldest attendant. The
supply was inadequate.
The Washington delegation was great
ly pleased with the reference in the
souvenir to Alaska-Yukon -Pacific expo
sition. This was the only "boost" here
for the exposition, except the remarks
of Judge William Hickman Moore. ex
Mayor of Seattle, before the Dallas Com
mercial Club this afternoon.
Impressive services were participated
in by the visiting Elks today at their
lodge of sorrow. The Operahouse was
filled with Elks, who, with bowed heads,
heard the names of deceased members
called out. the house being darkened.
After each name was announced a tiny
electric light sprang into being.
READY TO GIVE UP WIFE
Oregon City Man Grants Demand
Backed by Revolver.
OREGON CITY. Or.. July 16. (Spe
cial.) Peter Brelius, who arrived from
the old country not long ago, last night
evinced a fondness for the wife of An
tone Macizskis, and claimed the woman.
He undertook to emphasize his demand
with a revolver and fired several shots
and frightened the husband to the ex
tent that he told his assailant to take
the woman and let him live.
Right here the officers interfered
and Brelius and his three companions.
Joe Narcules, Folasko Dannesewcarus
and Joe Nagenonis, were taktn to the
city jail and a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon was preferred
against them. 1 hey will have a hear
lng tomorrow. Macizskis says that he
sent Brelius 200 to come to America,
and his reward has been nothing but
an effort to steal his wife. All of the
men are Folanders.
KLAMATH TO REMAIN DRY
Judge Benson Sustains Result of
Local Option Vote.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., July 16. (Spe
cial.) Judfre H. L. Benson, in a Jencthy
opinion, has decided against the plaintiffs
in the action brougm to set aside the re'
suit of the June election on local option.
Klamath County will, therefore, remain
dry. Judge Benson holds that the as
signments of error were not well founded
and concludes with this language:
"But above and beyond the technical
language of the schedule, it is to be re
membered that if there had been a fair
and free election the will of the people
had been voiced fairly and without fraud
or intimidation, the court should be very
slow to set such a verdict aside. It fol
lows that the writ of review should be
dismissed."
CHEAP MAILS TO NORWAY
Reduction of Postage to Bind Emi
grants to Old Land.
CHRTSTIANIA. Norway. July 16
(Special.) It is proposed to reduce let
ter postage between Norway and the
United States from 20 ore (5 cents) to 10
ore li1 cents), even if it involves finan
oial loss. It is felt that the reduction of
the rate would strengthen the ties which
bind Norwegians in America close to their
home country.

Calls on Voters to Fol
low Conscience.
IXDTANAPOLIS. Ind., July 16. The re
ception given John W. Kern, the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice-President of the
United States. last niplit, was
as hearty and generous and spontaneous
as the citizens of Indianapolis, regardless
of politics, could make i. jFully 5000 peo
ple gave Mr. Kern a hearty welcome and
cheered him enthusiastically. The candi
date addressed the crowd for about 20
minutes after being presented by Vice
President Fairbanks. Four years ago
Mr. Kern presented Mr. Fairbanks to a
big non-partisan gathering under similar
circumstances.
Mr. Kern arrived in the city a little
after 6 o'clock and was escorted to his
home by large procession. Two hours
later he went to the courthouse with Mr.
Fairbanks. When the two distinguished
men alighted, they were greeted by round
after round of cheers.
Mayor Bookwalter, with a few brief re
marks, presented Mr. Fairbanks, who
spoke about ten minutes, paying a fine
tribute to his friend and neighbor. Mr.
Kern. Mr. Fairbanks spoke as follows:
Fairbanks Graceful Praise.
Tho duty which you hare assigned to me
Is a very unusual and a very agreeable one.
We have gathered here without regard to
party alignment to welcome and congratu
late a fellow-citizen who has been greatly
honored. We appreciate fully the fact that
an honor which is paid to one of our fellow
citizens is an honor to our citizenship.
Mr. Kern, I shall always remember with
sincere appreciation the generous and hearty
welcome extended to me four years ago.
It Is particularly gratifying now to meet
this assemblage to perform a similar office
for you.
The honor which the Denver convention
bestowed upon you is one of the two great
est which can be conferred upon an Ameri
can citizen by his political associates. The
honor came to you in a manner to enhance
it. It came through the unanimous Judg
ment of a great convention.
While we owe allegiance to different po
litical parties, our differences have never
disturbed our friendship or marred ourper
sonal relations. I admire you a a friend,
neighbor and fellow-citizen and rejoice with
you in the great distinction which your
party has been pleased to confer by nomi
nating you for Vice-President of the United
States. Our campaigns are usually waged
with ardor upon both sides, but we never
fail to applaud our neighbor, though he
differ with us. If he wins distinguished
honors. We never withhold from him an
expression of our neighborly appreciation.
Tour neighbors know that, no matter how
much men may disagree with your political
views, they respect your ability as a lawyer.
your eminence as an orator, your Integrity
as a man, your uprightness as a neighbor
and your admirable life within- the sacred
circle of home.
I cannot wish you success in your cam
paign. I-can. however, express the certain
conviction that you will be crowned with
the Increased respect and personal confi
dence of your neighbors.
Mr. Kern said he was not
vain enough to believe for a moment that
the nomination given him by the Na
tional convention was due to any merits
or ability of his own, but as a citizen of
Indiana. In conclusion he said:
It Is true, as has been said, a mark of
distinction has been given me by the Na
tional convention of my party and to that
convention and the men it represents I am
deeply grateful, but I am more grateful to
Almighty God for the friends he has given
me in Indianapolis, regardless of political
affiliations.
I may be defeated at the polls, but, if so.
that is not a killing matter, because I have
been accustomed to that,, but, if I should
go down to defeat in November, the mem
ory of what has occurred here toniKht will
amply repay me for whatever of toil may
be my lot between now and November and
the fact of this great assemblage attesting
your loyalty and friendship to me. I will
bequeath to my children as a richer legacy
man any otner on the face of the earth
or all of the wealth of the world.

RETURNS EVIL FOR GOOD
Mrs. Rice 'Takes Pity "on Stranger
Who Steals Purse.
Mrs. B. J. Rice, of 69 East Twelfth
street, is now regretting the role of Good
Samaritan, played by her yesterday to an
indigent, shabby-genteel Englishman, and
is also looking for a missing pocketbook
containing $2 and some small change. She
reported the affair to the police and
asked them to locate the man whom she
thinks robbed her. She told this story:
"He looked as if he had seen better
days, and he enlisted my .sympathy by his
refined manner and speech. I gave him
his dinner and told him he might take a
basket and pick some cherries in the back
yard. I left him picking cherries and
went out for a time, leaving my pocket
book on the dining-room table. It did not
contain much, but I did not think I was
harboring a thief. When I came back I
found the window to the kitchen had
been forced and the purse gone."
The unknown left a note where the
purse should have been. "Dear Madam
Your basket is at house corner of East
Pine and East Twelfth street. I will see
you tomorrow. Cherrypicker."

C. W. Woodworth, head of the entomo

PASADENA. Cal., July 16. Mrs. Edith
M. Teagle, wife of Walter C. Teagle,
of Cleveland, O., an official of the
Standard Oil Company, is today reported
dying in the Pasadena Hospital from a
bullet wound inflicted by herself last
night. Physicians who spent the night
at the bedside -expressed a belief that
there was no hope for her recovery, the
bullet having entered the right temple,
passed through the brain and made its
exit at the left side of the skull.
Mrs. Teagle, who is about 30 years of
age, has resided in a bungalow in this
city for about two years. While her
nurse. Miss Helen Boise, was in Los An
geles, making arrangements for a trip
to Cleveland, Mrs. Teagle shot herself
at her home and was found hours after
ward by Miss Boise when the latter re
turned. A revolver of 38 caliber 'was
clutched in Mrs. Teagle's hand and she
had evidently been unconscious for a
long time. She was hurriedly removed to
a hospital and two physicians were sum
moned. Mrs. Teagle's action is attributed to a
fit of melancholia, resulting from con
tinued ill health. Her husband, who has
been in Europe for some time, was ex
pected to land in Npw York today.
