Fernald Defeats Gardiner for Gover
nor, but Liquor Issue Causes
Large Increase In Democratic
Vote In Four Years.
SARATOGA, N. T.. Sept- 14. Renom
lnatlon of Governor Hughes by the Re
publican state convention at Its ses
sion tomorrow seemed at a late hour
tonight the probable outcome of a bat
tle In -which most of the fighting has
been done by the opposition. Impar
tial observers see no means by which
the defeat of the Governor can ac
tually be accomplished and the anti
Hughes leaders themselves begin to
admit that their cause is probably
hopeless.
Authorised dispatches from Oyster
Bay reiterating the opinion of Presi
dent Roosevelt that Governor Hughes
should be nominated, created some
what of a sensation, even though the
announcement was not entirely unex
pected, and It Is therefore not too much
to say that they added appreciably to
the bitterness of the "allies' opposing
Hughes. It Is thoroughly understood
here that the opposition could have de
feated the renomlnatlon of the Gov
ernor If they could have agreed upon
some other man of adequate political
size and Induced him to accept the
nomination. Rut all effort to And
such a man have proved fruitless.
Root Refuses Nomination.
Secretary of State Ellhu Root, who
is acting as chslrman of the conven
tion, has been the subject of appeals
to assume the onus of the situation.
Mr. Root told the leaders tonight, how
ever, that he could not think of such a
thing.
"I am the senior member of Presi
dent Roosevelt's cabinet," he was
Quoted as saying. "If I should do such
a thing, either I would be accused, and
rightly, of disloyalty to President
Roosevelt, or he would be accused
wrongfully of Insincerity In his atti
tude toward the Governor's renomina
tlon." Prohibition Chief Issue.
The Republicans were on the defensive
throughout the campaign, seeking to hold
the state by the usual plurality by an
swering the various Democratic questions,
which were mainly for submission of the
prohibition law, the action on the wild
lands and reform In administration
methods. But little was said of National
Issues. The Republicans strongly defend
ed the so-called Sturgls law and Invited
the voters to support Its stringent meth
ods In the enforcement of the cause of
prohibition.
Nearly 140.000 voters went to the polls,
a number which was within a few thou
sand of the record for the state.
The Democrats gain over four years ago
in nearly every county and city, although
some of the municipalities which went
Democratic two yeara ago returned to the
Republican fold today.
Congressmen Allen, Burleigh, John G.
Swayxey and Frank E. Guernsey, Repub
lican, are elected.
The next legislature will undoubtedly be
Republican.
MACK CROW'S OVER 'RESULT
Predicts Other States- Will Follow
Example of Maine.
ROCHESTER, N. Y.. Sept. 14. The
early returns from the Maine elections
were received by the Democratic lead
ers tonight with much gratification.
National Chairman Mack said:
"Maine has always been regarded as
a hidebound Republican state and the
returns from there tonight indicate
clearly that the sentiment of the peo
ple Is thoroughly aroused for the causa
of Democracy. What has happened In
Maine clearly forecasts what will ba
the outcome in other states at the
coming election and tonight I am more
confident than ever that Mr. Bryan will
be elected."

BRILLIANT PAGEANT AT NIGHT
Thousands Cheer Big Parade
on Portland Streets.
CLIMAX AT CLUB GROUNDS
Bonfires and Lanterns Illumine
Multnomah Field While Speak
ers Laud Victories of Smith
son, . Gilbert and Kelly.
Crowds of laurel leaves, more modern
and spectacular, of course, than the sim
ple token of victory of ancient' Greece,
were pressed upon the brows of Oregon's
victorious athletes last night on the tri
umphal return of Smlthson, Gilbert and
Kelly from the Olympic games in Lon
don. All Oregon joined In the demonstration
and no Olympic winner, even In the days
when poets sang of heroes and of men
who sailed from the shores of Troy to
bring back honor, ever received a more
royally enthusiastic welcome on his home
coming. On their Journey across the con
tinent honors and attentions were heaped
upon them, and on their entrance into the
borders of .their native state admiring
multitudes contended to do them homage.
Pageant Is Gorgeous One.
, In Portland last night enthusiasm
reached a climax In a gorgeous pageant,
rivalling In spectacular brilliancy and dis
play any similar scene that has been
presented In this city. Aged men and
women participated, children took part
and small boys yelled themselves hoarse
In an Intoxication of admiration.
Flags of all nations, with the stars .and
atrlpes predominating, floated from every
window throughout the day and miles of
bunting added to the gala appearance of
the city. Torches, transparencies and
flambeaux, mingling their glow with the
sparks and sudden gleam of rockets and
Roman-candles, threw a lurid illumina
tion upon the decorations at night.
Throngs Line the Streets.
The most spectacular feature of the
demonstration was the big parade.
Thousands of persons witnessed It and
thousands cheered It as . It passed. In
every street through which the parade
passed sidewalks were lined, while
windows and. every available point of
vantage were crowded.
Before the parade the victorious
trio were honored guests of the Com
mercial Club, where they dined and
enjoyed an informal reception. The
demonstration concluded In a final
burst of enthusiasm at Multnomah
Club, where a spectacular review of
the parade was held on the athletic'
field, and where speeches extolling
their deds were made and they were
officially welcomed by Mayor Lane in
behalf of the city, and Colonel James

Saving In Operating Expenses of
Southern and Union Pacific
Is Responsible.
' CHICAGO, Sept. 14. (Special.) The
net earnings of the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific' Railroads for ths
month of July were the largest that
either of these roads has reported for
that month In their history. In the
cases of both, however, the gross earn
ings showed a material, decrease as
compared with last year. A good
showing in net earnings was brought
about by a material reduction In oper
ating expenses.
In July of last -year the operating
ratio of the Union Pacific was 65. per
cent of the gross earnings. This year
It was brought down to 47.S per cent.
In the same way the operating ratio
of the Southern Pacific was brought
down from 67.4 per cent of the gross
earnings in July of last year to 69 per
cent for the same, month this year.
While the gross earnings did not
make a comparative showing so good
as the net, when .they are analyzed the
showlngloses much of its unsatisfac
tory character, when it la considered
that this Is due solely to the fact that
July last year was a banner month In
the history of these roads.
REMARRIES HIS AFFINITY
F. L. Magaw, Los Angeles Clubman,
Again Astounds Friends.
Log ANGELES. Cal., Sept. 14. (Spe
cial.) If the friends of Frederick L.
Magaw, wealthy club man, rancher and
real estate dealer, were surprised when
he married Sophia I Goos, a year ago.
they were amazed when they learned that
the couple were remarried today. The
notoriety given the first marriage and
Magaw's suit to have It annulled, cost him
his membership In the exclusive Jonathan
Club and seemed to preclude the possi
bility of remarriage, as Magaw, in his
suit, alleged facts that ordinarily make
remarriage Impossible.
Magaw, who. Is 64, first met the wo
man, 34 years his Junior, In a restaurant.
They were students of astrology and this
brought them to the altar after six
weeks' acquaintance. Last March the
marriage was annulled, Magaw making
unprintable charges. 'The wo.nan later
asked to. have the case . rec. nV but
Magaw . paid her tlW to 'wit.idlaw her
motion. She went to New York with his
astrological advlser. C. H. Vandorn, but

ALL-NIGHT CONFERENCE
Expected to End in Recognition of
Defeat Roosevelt Urges Hughes'
'. Renomlnatlon and Bosses Will
, Make Him Bear Onus.
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 14. The Repub
licans carried Maine today by about 8000
plurality as against 26,816 in the last
Presidential year and 8064 In 1906. At
midnight returns for Governor from 468
out of 619 cities, towns and plantations
give Bert M. Fernald (Rep.). 72,117;
Obadlah Gardiner (Dem.), 64,993. The same
places In 1904 gave Cobb (Rep.), 75,334;
Davis (Dem.), 49,416. The remaining
places In 1904 gave Cobb 1630, Davis 730.
The missing towns, which are small, four
years ago cast 1630 Republican votes and
739 Democratic.
Democrats Gain 13,000.
The .Democratic vote increased more
than 13.000 over that of 1904, while the
Republican vote fell off about 2500. The
Republican plurality is the smallest re
corded In a Presidential year In 25 years.
The tVo parties split even In the 20
cities, each capturing ten. The voting
was particularly heavy in the rural dis
tricts owing largely to the popularity of
Mr. Gardiner among the farmers as head
of the State Grange, Patrons of Hus
bandry, the Democrats making large
gains.
All four Republican candidates for Con
greeg were elected and for State Auditor
Charles P. Hatch (Rep.), of Augusta, de
feated' his opponent.
. The matter reached lta crisis tonight
In a conference of the leaders after a
meeting of the executive committee of
the ReDubllcan state committee. This
conference was still In sesssion at a late
hour and the general belief was that it
could have but one ending a recognition
of the defeat of the anti-Hughes forces.
May Fight About Platform.
Meanwhile the committee on resolu
tions appointed a subcommittee to draft
and -recommend a platform and ad
journed until tomorrow. There were
threats tonight by anti-Hughes members
of the main committee of "opposition to
any Indorsement of Mr. Hughes beyond
the most perfunctory, but the cooler
counsels were set to work and it seems
likely that the matter will be settled
without a protracted struggle.
Mr. Root was the central figure In the
first sesssion of the convention. The
convention effected temporary organiza
tion, heard the speech of Mr. Root as
temporary chairman and adjourned un
til tomorrow afternoon at I o'clock. The
welcome accorded to Mr. Root surpassed
In enthusiasm, if not In duration, those

To a flaming hatred of Injustice, to
a scorn of all that Is baae and mean,
to a hearty,- sympathy with the op
pressed, Mr. Taft unites disinterested
ness, courage, both, moral and physi
cal, of the very highest type, and a
kindly generosity of nature which
makes him feel that all of his fellow-
e
countrymen are in very truth his
friends and brothers, that their Inter
ests are his and that all his great
qualities are to be spent with lavish
freedom in their service. The honest
wage-worker, the honest laboring
man, the howest farmer, the hon
est mechanic or small trader, or man
of small means, can feel that in
a peculiar sense Mr. Taft will be
his representative because of the
very fact that he has the same
scorn for the demagogue that he has
for the corruptionist, and that he
would front threats of personal vio
lence from a mob with the unqualling
and lofty Indifference with which he
would front the bitter anger of the
wealthiest and most powerful corpora
tions. . Broad though his sympathies
are, there is In him not the slightest
tinge of weakness. No consideration
personal interest, any more man or

make him swerve a hair's breadth
from the course which he regards as
right and In the interest or the whole
people.

ed "Red Special" Train.
Ten thousand persons at the Exposi
tion building last night heard Eugene V.
Debs, Socialist nominee for President, ex
coriate the Republican and Democratic
parties as the instruments of the cap
italistic class. Working people were
urged to organize on a co-operative basis
as the only means for accomplishing their
economic emancipation, which, he de
clared, was an Impossibility by contin
uing existing conditions.
The Socialist party was commended al
the only party which stands for the la
boring classes and as the only organiza
tion having the necessary revolutionary
spirt and programme to attain the neces
sary results.
Only Ridicule for Bryan.'
Bryan was ridiculed as the friend ot
labor and his insincerity at this time
in representing himself as the friend
of the "common people" was exposed
by reference to his attitude during the
arrest and prosecutron of the officers
of the Western Federation of Labor.
Although appealed to at that time for
assistance, Mr. Debs declared that Bry
an remained silent for fear of offend
ing the mlneowners, only to break Into
print after the men had been tried and
vindicated, and say that he always had '
considered them innocent.
Speaker Chered on Arrival.
The demonstration that attended Mr.
Debs' appearance In the Exposition build

was given and the band started up a
lively air. Simultaneously the entire au
dience arose as one man and with shouts
that shook the rafters of the building
greeted their chief, who' was hurriedly
escorted to the platform. In presenting
Debs to the audience, E. J. Lewis, chair
man of the meeting, proposed three
cheers, which were given with an enthu
siasm which left no doubt of the abiding
faith the auditors had In their leader and
the principles for which he stands.
"This Is. Indeed, a flattering reception
to an undesirable citizen," began Mr.
Debs, who had difficulty In addressing
because of a bad coid. "We have the
