M'ARTHUR IN CHARGE Order Is Sent for Large Amount of Parly Literature and Buttons, Which Will Be Distributed Throughout State. With the beginning of another week yesterday, the activities of a political mmnilra under the direction of the Re muhltoanii were Inaugurated In earnest. Ecate Chairman Cake has not reported at headquarters, but with his commission a awretanr. rilfton N. McArthur has tack the work with vigor. Considerable of his time yesterday was taken up answer ing correspondence that had accumulated In the office of the atate chairman during the last two weeks. Secretary McArthur yesterday ordered 150.000 pieces of literature and 30.000 campaign buttons from tne iNationai torn m It tee at Chicago. This will be in ad dition to the large supply of literature and buttons already at headquarters. These are being distributed throughout the state. Among the first to be served are the 9 Republican newspapers of the state. Next In order come the state committeemen and chairmen of the party organisation in the different counties. Through these sources the printed ammu nltlon with which the campaign will be conducted in part is being distributed In the different counties. Speakers are Be ing arranged for. and an active cam calm will be waged in every county. Following the State Fair next week. Senator Fulton will get into the harness. having volunteered his services to the committee. He will tour the state and deliver addresses wherever the committee sees fit to assign him. Mayor George F. Rodgers. of Salem, and Wallace McCain- ant. of this city, also have volunteered their services V1 speakers and agree to pay their own expenses. They probamy will be assigned to the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon. W. A. Williams, of this city, also has tendered his services as a volunteer on the same terms, and will spend several weeks in Eastern Ore gon. Ralph E. Williams, National commit teeman and treasurer of the financial committee, which Is directing the details of the campaign, is expected to return to Portland from his home at Dallas either today or tomorrow, when a meeting of the committee will be field and a vigor ous campaign for money-raising purposes outlined. DEBS SPEAKS IN PORTLAND (Continued From First Page.) privilege of living In a m-onderful age. during which steam and electricity have been discovered and applied to Industrial pursuits. The material achievments of the last century outrival those of all centuries preceding. The cspitallstlc rys. tem has broken down as was evidenced by another period of industrial depression last Fall. That condition was not un expected and was even foretold Indirectly In the slogans of the Republican party for the last several years. In 1900 the party had the following slogan: Let well enoush alone. in W. 'Stand pat,' while tor ls it Is TJod knows. The speaker declared there was no trouble about the production of wealth but that It was in Its distribution that the trouble arose. The difficulty, he in listed, was that the man who produced did not get the result of his production and that in the evolution of the present system two distinct classes had developed. Of the working class numbering 3O.O0O.fl0O, g.non.ona were women and 4.000.000 were children, all of whom were compelled to compete against each other for the sale of their labor power to the employer and by reason of this very condition, it was charged that the matter of wages had been reduced to a question purely ol subsistence. Tells Aim of Socialists. "The Republican party stands for the capitalistic system as it is." he continued. "while the Democrats would have it as It was: the Republicans would suspend the evolution of society while the Demo crats would reverse It. The Socialist rarty. however. Is the only one that stands for its logical fulfillment. The economic Interests of the laboring classes are diametrically oppospd to the economic Interests of the capitalistic class and it is this struggle that Is resulting daily In strikes and boycotts by which the su pre me problems of civilisation are being worked out. "The Republican party. It is true, struck down slavery but it has long since aban doned the principles for which it was known years ago. It is now the party of plutocracy and its convention at Chicago was composed of plutocrats, poiiucans and parasites. Was labor represented there or did It have a voice in tne pro' ceding.? The Democratic party pro fesses to be the party of the "common people"; a party for both labor and capital. Bryan is trying to rfde two horses going In opposite directions and be Is going. to get an awful fall. The Democratic party is a capitalistic party, made up of the smaller capitalists. It Is built on a decavlne class which has been losing power for the last 30 years. The only thing for the laboring peopie to ao Is to abolish the system of exploitation and at the same time get rid of alt capi talists big and little. Are After the Earth. "If the logic of Socialism fails to reach your brain the logic of the capitalists will reach your purse. We are after the earth and we are going to have it. When the big capitalists get through with you, you will be ready for Socialism. "Some have an idea that in the event of the election of Bryan private monopoly will be destroyed and competition elimi nated, but this cannot be done by Bryan and Tammany Hall. The Democratic party Is no place for the laboring man. If you are a Democrat, it probably is because your grandfather was. But every thing has changed since then but the grandson. "Cnlte and nothing stands between the laboring man and his emancipation. The most cheering sign Is that the workers are beginning to think and they soon will begin to act. The capitalistic class no longer esn manage industrial enter prises and control labor. They are con fronted by the problem of unemployed labor, which never can be solved under the present system. Refers to Solid South. "You say the Democratic party is a friend of labor? They have been in com plete control pf the solid South for years and what are" the conditions? In no sec tion of the country is the wage schedule ao low. Industrial conditions more wretched, and the percentage of child labor higher. The Denver convention consisted of the same kind of delegates as those at the Republican convention. It is true the Democrats propose to guarantee bank deposits, but how many of you have any bank deposits? The other fellows have them. You want the guarantee of a Job and the Socialist party Is the one making- that guarantee. The platforms of the two old parties discuss tariff, finance, foreign policy and every thing except that In which you are di rectly interested.. On that, they are Silent. "'Since IK Bryan has undergone a great change and is now as acceptable to plutocratic Interests as Is Taft. When Mover.' Haywood and Pettlbone were un der arret, the laboring people appealed to Bryan, considering him their friend, but he remained silent. He could not speak without offending a mineowner. After the men had been given trial and vindicated Bryan said he believed all the time that they were innocent. This Is how he proved his friendship for the la boring people In a crucial hour. In 1904 he denounced Parker and afterwards took the stump for him. Roger Sullivan came to the Democratic convention, securing his election by methods that would dis grace a trainrobber. and was so declared by Bryan. Later Bryn received him at his home at Fairview and Introduced him to Mrs. Bryan. I would not object to being President but not upon my life would I pay that price for it. Bryan has compromised with Murphy and Tammany Hall, the most corrupt political organiza tion of the country, and has forfeited the respect of every self-respecting man. Declares All Will Be Workers. "Roosevelt, also, was elected by the biggest corporation fund ever raised in the country. While appealing for purity In politics! he was holding out his hands to receive a subscription of 1240.000 from the lreurance trust, knowing' at the time that it had been' stolen from the policy holders. "The laboring people are becoming class conscious under the full dinner pajl ad ministration. They can accomplish their emancipation only by taking the tools of production. There will then be no sub ject class and the Declaration of In dependence will then be realised. No have nothing to lose but your chains you mvo av ituna ig B 1 "Bryan will fill the dinner pail with not air. "1904. free silver: 1908. gold bricks." TaaI illiinM 1 1 .11 ahnt to hell.

Debs and his "Red Spe cial" passed through the city at 4:38 o'clock this afternoon, and remained at the Southern Pacific depot a half-hour, when Debs talked to about 200 people from a platform. He was hoarse rrom frequent talking, and paid his respects to both the Republican and Democratic candidates for President, stating that the big capitalists were In the Republican party and the little capitalists were in the Democratic.

It will tnen be just as elevating to work as it Is now degrading, and we will give to woman every right that man enjoys. The prog' ress of the capitalistic class Is registered in the houses of prostitution, and with Socialism we will not have the 80,000 di vorces a year we are now having. We will also take the 4.000.000 children out of factories and put them in kinder gartens, schools and universities. Debs III With Cold. Mr. Debs and party reached the I'nion Depot in his "Red 8peclal, promptly on schedule time at o'clock last night. They were met at the station by about 400 Socialists of this city. who. for tne time being, were denied the privilege of seeing the man they called to honor. Mr. Debs was suffering from a severe cold and as the train rolled into the station was taking an alcohol rub-down, which precluded him from making an appear ance until the hour for speaking at the Exposition building. There was nothing about the special train In which Mr. Debs and party "are touring the country to suggest the name Red Special." As the train reached this city It consisted of four regulation South ern Pacific coaches. . The sides of the baggage-car were decorated with large lithographs of Debs and Ben Hanford. the Socialist nominee for Vice-President. The day coach was labeled with a stream er bearing the Inscription. "Socialists' Presidential Special." In addition to Mr. Debs, the party con sisted of Theodore Debs, brother of the candidate, and his secretary; Stephen M. Reynolds, Terre Haute, Ind.. lawyer and Socialist speaker: A. H. Floaten.

The wonderful spread of Socialist sentiment presages the early triumph of the Social ist movement." At 7:30 o'clock last night probably 1000 Socialists of this city and surrounding points assemoiea at me union Depot. formed a line of march several blocks long and proceeded to tne exposition building. Owing to his physical indisposition the party leader did not participate in the parade but waa driven to the -hall about o clock.

SUBMITS TO TERMS Mulal Hafid Agrees to Be Bound by Algeciras Act. FRANCO - SPANISH DEMAND New Sultan of Morocco to Safeguard Interests of Powers, Pay Casa Blanca Indemnity and Call Off Holy War. PARIS, Sept 14. The- Franco-Spanish note on the subject of the recog nition of Mulai Hafid as Sultan of Morocco was today transmitted to the powers signatory to the Algeciras Con vention. Mulai Hafld's letter to the diplomatic corps at Tangier reached Paris today. He announces his proclamation as Sul tan, which he says obliges him to execute the engagements of the Alge ciras act. Mulal Hafid agrees to recognize the treaties concluded by his predecessors, notably that of the Algeciras act, which he considers the basis of the prosperity and progress of the empire from both the political and economic standpoints, since it guarantees inde pendence for the country and provides useful reforms. Mulal Hafid concludes with expressions of hope that the pow ers on an equal footing will aid him in the elaboration and execution of the proposed reforms. Guard Interests of Powers. The Franco-Spanish note to the powers is composed of two parte, a note, properly speaking, and a "declaration." The former refers only to the general in terests of the powers to be safe-guarded before Mulai Hafid Is recognized as Sul tan of Morocco, namels', the confirma tion of the Algeciras act and measures Involved in its application, notably the right conferred upon France and Spain to prevent contraband of arms at sea and the confirmation of all treaties. The declaration is only a courteous notice, to which the powers are not asked to reply. It points out that the powers naturally conserve the right to exact directly from Mulal Hafid a settlement of questions touching their individual In terests and affirms the right of France and Spain to secure the reimbursement of expenses Incurred in the establishment of order at Casa Blanca and their de cision to reach a mutual understanding for such reimbursement with the Mo roccan government. What Mulal Hafid Must Do. . The note says that Mulai Hafid should assure honorable treatment for Abd-el-Aziz, and recommends equitable treatment for 'the latter's functionaries and the confirmation of all treaties and engagements made by the Moroc can foreign board with foreign gov ernments, the diplomatic corps and in dividuals; the acceptance of responsi bility for debts contracted by the for eign board: the confirmation of the powers' indemnity commission at Casa Blanca: the new Sultan recognizing his responsibility for the payment of these Indemnities: the official disavowal of a holy, war by Sherifflan letters sent to towns and tribes, and the immediate adoption of necessary measures to as sure the security of the ports and the principal interior roads. When these guarantees have been obtained, Mulal Hafid, the note says, can be recog nized. Takes Xo Cnfalr Advantage. An official communication Issued with the note explains that France, Instead of trying; to profit by the situ ation and force a settlement of her affairs before the recognition of Mulal Hafid as Sultan, had a higher concep tlon of her duty, believing that his rec ognition should be solely conditional upon guarantees in the common inter est of an the powers. The communication points out the advantages to Mulai Hafid of his acqui escence, there being the transfer to him of the cash balance in the Morocco State Bank, now in the name of Abd-el-Aziz. and after explaining in detail the nature of the engagements between the Moroccan foreign board and the diplomatic corps, etc., which Mulal Hafid is asked to confirm and using the case of Alexander as a precedent for the Indorsement of the findings of the indemnity commission, concludes as follows: Here's a Dig at Germany. "The note apparently Is Inspired by loyal and friendly sentiments toward all the powers. It is aimed at none, but is strictly European, namely. In the Inter ests of all the signatories of the Algeciras act. Including America. It respects the rights of all. and any refusal to examine it or its rejection en bloc would consti tute a proof that the power so acting entertained arrlere pensees lncompatl ble with respect for the Algeciras act." GERMANY HAS OBJECTIONS Thinks France Should Pay Cost of Caea- Blanca Expedition. BERLIN. Sept. 14. The French Ambas sador. Jules Carabon, and the Spanish Charge d' Affaires today handed identical notes relative to the recognition of Mu lal Hafid, the vanquisher of Abd-el-Aziz as Sultan of Morocco, to Herr Stemrlcht. the acting Secretary of the Foreign Of fice. The German Foreign Office Is not yet ready to express Its opinion regarding the note. Its contents have been tele graphed Jo Chancellor von Bnelow, who is now at Nordemey, and the Foreign Oflce will await guidance from there be fore Intimating the general impression the note has made upon the govern ment.

When the body becomes ran down either as a result of overwork, worry or a severe illness, an examination of the blood would show it to be weak and watery. This condition is called an sa rnie, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, crams and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Anemia itself is a dangerous disease and it may gradually pass into consumption. It must be cured by treating its cause, which is the poor condition of the blood. The vital fluid must be made strong and healthy thereby enabling it to carry the neoessary nourishment to every tissue of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest builder of rich, new blood and they have been curing anaemia and oth er blood diseases for nearly a genera tion, during which . time they have come to be recognized as an invaluable househfld remedy. The statement of Mrs. Claud Moore, who lives about six miles from Defiance, shows how these pills cure cases that stubbornly resist ordinary methods of treatment. Mrs. Moore's address is R. F. D. ITo. 8, Defiance, Ohio. She says: "In 1904, when I was attending De fiance college I would come home all tired out and became very weak. I had always had bright red cheeks but I seemed to lose my color and became deathly white. The physician at Defi ance said I was all ran down and I took his medicine but grew worse instead of better. My friends thought I was going into consumption. "My mother had heard of a case that the doctors said was anesmia tiiat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured and finally she said to me: 'The doctor's -medicine don't seem to help you a par ticle and I am going to get you some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.' She did and in a week's time I began to feel like myself again. I took in all seven boxes. They cured me and I feel fine now and am in good health. I have recommend ed the pills to several of our neighbors." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or- sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 60o. per box; six boxes for $3.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, here does not include the payment of the expenses Incurred by the occupation of Casa Blanca as one of the conditions of the recognition of Mulai Hafid, but re serves the right Immediately after the' new Sultan has been recognixed to de mand a settlement of the questions affect ing the Interests of the powers, particu larly the reimbursement of the "expenses of occupation. This Is an Important consideration from the German viewpoint, for .the German government has already stated that it would resist any endeavors to put such a burden on Morocco at the beginning of Mulal Hafld's reign, as the payment of such a vast sum, which amounts to about $30,000,000. Germany's position from the beginning of the occupation has been that the French action was precipitate and that it was prolonged unnecessarily and further more that France, not Morocco, should pay the costs.
