Elimination of factional difference and the organization of Oregon Republican for an aggressive campaign in the interest of Taft and Sherman are the purposes of the visit to this state at this time of Ormsby McHarg;. personal representative . : 1 tf-Holfman HltrhwiClT in thft Western and Pacific Coast states. Since arriving in Portland Sunday.. Mr. McHarg lias conferred with many promi nent Republicans In this city with whom the disorganised condition of the party In this state has been reveiwed. Today he will hold a conference with Senator Ful ton and National- Committeeman .Ralph E. Williams. Senator Fulton will arrive this morning from Salem, where he has been attending the State Fair, and Mr. Williama will come from his home at Dallas. Derrtand leaders to Unite. In order to Insure the success of the Re publican nominees by the usunl majority in this state. Mr. McHarg will demand of the party leaders that they drop their personal quarrels and eliminate until after the November election every phase of the Senatorial fight. Mr. MoHarg ad mitted last night that because of the factional division of . the party and the persistent attempt to wage the Senatorial fight in connection with the National elec tion, concern was felt for this state. At best, he declared, such tactics were not making for harmony within the party and the success of the Presidential ticket in November. -It will be Insisted." said Mr. McHarg at the Portland last night, "that the Sen atorial fight In this state be dropped until after the November election. Since com ing to Portland I have found that the -;..-. Inn 1b iti mirA rT" i fill than It hail been represented.

"It is the duty of every Republican to stand by his party's nominp and see that the usual majority is recorded. Ore gon ie counted upon as a Republican state, and why should it not be when four vears aeo It gave Rooseveit a ma jority of nearly 43.000? By dropping their factional quarrels, which serve only dissipate the party's energies, and uniting their forces, a big majority may be reg istered for the ticket. With such a show ing and the backing of a National admin i ... i . w . .i. 1 ,1 Ka Hatter nn- pared to present its contentions as to the Senator-ship. But by giving Tan a ma Joriiy out of all proportion to that re ceived by Roosevolt, ' the organlxation would not have the Impetus a big major ity would give." Mr. McHarg reports that conditions In Wisconsin. Wyoming. Montana and the Dakotas are entirely satisfactory and in dicate the success of the Republican ticket. The outlook is equally bright, he says, in Washington where he reports the factions within the party have put aside their differences and all are work ing earnestly for the success of the Na tional ticket. After concluding his work in this state. Mr. McHarg will go to Cali fornia and thence to the other Western States which belong to the territory to which-h has been assigned as the-special representative of the National chair man. . McHarg's Work In South. During Secretary Taft's campaifm for the Presidential nomination. Mr. McHarg was the right-hand lieutenant of Chair man Hitchcock, who was then manager and director of the War Secretary"s can didacy. It was Mr. McHarg who visited the Southern states, studied local condi tions and collected data relating to the numerous contests that came before the Republican National Convention from those states. Mr. McHarg appeared before the com mittee which heard the contests and as the personal representative of Secretary Taft won every contest in which the Sec retary's Interests were Involved, it was Invariably the case that Mr. McHarg knew more about each individual contest than the delegates from the very dis trict that was concerned and his suc cess in securing a decision favorable to his man In every contest was due largely to his mastery of the details and iniorma tlnn relating to each one. niSGEX TO SPEAK OCTOBER 12 Armory Will Probably Be Used by Independence Party.

PORTLAND, Sept. 15. (T- the Editor.) The politicians of this city, as well as others, have been playing hide-and-seek with the aHonmen and the people gener allv Ordinances have been prepared In most a.tounillni terms and all were supposed to be perfect but lacked the final term "I can be seen." - , , , It Ik a great Injustice to blame sa.oon men in general for the present rotten con ditions. There is a majority of respectable men in the saloon business that have for a long time demanded reform, but the poli ticians. In and out of office, have refused and will refuse as long as the brewers and wholesale liquor dealers are their best frlG"ve'a license only to absolutely respect able places and the saloon question will be Todforbid tables In drinking places is sb solutely wrong.

ANO Al.D.B WAT ER MORE ARE INSURED Company President Talks of Great Investigation. PROFIT FOR THE FIRMS Scandals of Two Years Ago Said to Have Had Wholesome Effect on the . System , or Life Insurance. That the life Insurance scandals two years ago had a wholesome effect and have. In fact, resulted In educating the people of the country in life insur ance matters, bringing increased busi ness, is the belief of Charles Jerome j j. l, Tm-v pit v. president of the National Association of Uie Underwriters, who reached Portland yesterday &nd is visiting the Oregon oranlza'tl6n of life insurance men. He says the demand for life Insurance has never been better and that, while many agents were f.ightened and left the business, the fact that the largely depleted corps of affents Is doing a normal business throughout the coun try proves the increased interest and demand for insurance. Mr. Edwards came to the Pacino Coast to attend the annual session of life Insurance men In Los Angeles, which was held August 18-20. Since that time he has been visiting- the various Coast, cities and getting in touch with life Insurance conditions in this territory. He was entertained yesterday by William Goldman, and today at' 12:30 o'clock he will be dined at the Commercial Club by local insur ance men. This arternoon ne win u taken about tho city and shown what sights were overlooked yesterday. Ho was taken to the Forestry building yesterday afternoon and was surprised at the immensity of the logB entering into the construction of that monu ment to Oregon's lumber resources. Companies Have Profited. "tm, - n..inn. fnmnAnles have profit ed bv the searching investigations." said Mr. Edwards. "They are more conservative and are cutting expenses J Charles Jerome Edwards, of Aew T York City, President of the Nn- 1 tlonal AssoclHJtoa of I.lfe la- derwrtters. J of all kinds wherever possible. The effect is also seen in the better knowl edge people have of life insurance. While they had a casual acquaintance with the subject two years ago, they are educated now, due to the reports of the Investigations and the correc tion of the former evils. "The prt-sent financial conditions are not unfavorable to the life Insur ance business. It Is. easier to loan money tc better advantage " and has been for the past year, than formerly. Higher rates art: paid and this in creases the earnings of the various companies. As to the panic itself it was not a panic. It was a created condition for which there was no reason whatever. It came as the result of a fight be tween the banking Interests of Wall street. It was brought on by the dis position of a number of old and con servative bankers to put Helnze and Charles W. Morse out of business. They ' f . , 4 ' ' - v ; I . ' BOARD HAS TORN ,P NEW were afraid of them In business and they not only wanted to put them away, but also to down the trust companies. Then followed the downfall of the Knickerbocker Trust and the untimely death of its president. But for the raid made upon that Institution, its president would today be alive and a strong power in the financial world. "There was 13.503,000.000 in circula tion when the crash came last Fall. Immediately 1800,000,000 went into hiding. This shows what the effect was bound to be on business of all kinds. ' Great Growth of Xort hwest. "I am surprised at the great growth of this section of the country. I have not been out here for 15 years. At that time a -great part of the West was dpsignated cn the maps as the 'Great American Desert.' . Now irrigation projects have made fertile farms out of a great part of this district, and the other splendid resources of this sec tion of the continent nave made it rich and prosperous." FINDS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM Only Two Cases of Tyghoid Fever Reported to Oregon City Officials. OREGON CITY. Or... Sept. 15. (Spe cial.) Mayor Carll has made an investi gation of the conditions surrounding the reported epidemic of typhoid fever In Oregon City and finds there is no cause for alarm. There are only two existing cases here that have been reported to the Health Officer. In one of . these cases the patient was at American Lake with tUe Oregon National Guard and may have contracted the germs of the disease there, while the other patient has been work ing all Summer on the dam around wn lamette Falls. It Is true there are numerous cases in West Oregon City. Canemah, New Era and other places near Oregon City, but the water used for drinking purposes is always filtered and residents of the city may use it in perfeot safety. KEEP OUT FOREIGN "JUICE" Clark County Refuses to Let Light Company Import Electricity. VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 15. (Spe cial.) Electricity for light and power can not be imported from Oregon Into Wash ington, Is the decision of the County Commissioners of Clark) County. The question came up when the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company applied to the County Boad for a fran cntee to use certain county roads for erecting poles and stringing wires. The Commissioners granted the franchise, but inserted the provision that the electricity to be used must be generated within the State of Washington. The. action of the Commissioners is In tended to forestall the possibility of the electric comoanv lafing a cable across the Columbia. The company has a plant In Vancouver, but if power and light were brought in here from outside, necessarily this plant would be closed down. Albany Tart Club Officers. ALBANT. Or., Sept. 15.

A second hosecart was recently purchased and the city will soon have two volunteer fire companies. Seeks Balance of Insurance.

The steamer George W Fenwick, arrived from Astoria, via San Francisco with 2,000.000 feet of lumber. The steamer Caplstrano, cleared today for Willapa harbor to load a return luniber cargo. Good Fishing at Xewport. Advion has Just been received that silverside and Chinook salmon are being caught on trolla in Yaquina Bay. Residents In the vicinity of Twelfth and Alder streets are indignant at tha action of the city authorities In tearing up the bitullthie pavement. Just com pleted there, for the purpose of install ing a hydrant. Hardly had the Im provement been finished when men were ordered to the northwest corner by the Water Department, to put in the fireplug, and as a result, there win oe a defacement of the hard surface. It is the contention of the residents that the hydrant should have .been placed Jong ago, and certainly before the new pavement was laid. "I ordered the hydrant Installed at Twelfth and Alder streets because there are large churches and theaters, as wen as numerous other very valuable build ings in that neighborhood," said Fire Chief Campbell, when asked for an ex planation of the case. I am aware of the fact that there should have been hydrants placed in this district before the pavement went in, but the hydrants were not to be had, and I had to order them in there when I could get mem. In a district like that, it is absolutely necessary to have protection from fire, and the hydrants had to be put In, not withstanding the fact that the nara surface had to be cut." This hi not the only Instance of the kind that has happened, as there are so many miles of hard-surface pavements going down throughout tne city tnai Chief Campbell declares It is impossible to put in hydrants ahead of all the im provements in existing conditions. In many instances, also, water mains, gas main and sewers are iaia mii-i- pavements are down, and there Is a general complair' -rising all ovt-r ih city on this account., t 4'JLX3 Mother of Husband Will Pay. xr. -Mov-ir tr Povnn lias filed a ne- titlnn in the Circuit Court asking that she be permitted to accept $300 from her kiiBftanri'i mntViAr In nlace of the S10 a month alimony, which the court decreed her divorced husband must pay ner ever month for the support of herself and child.
