TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1908. ; ; BRYAN TALKS ON SCARES OF TAFT Speech to New York Demo cratic Convention Closes Eventful Day. ALSO FLAYS ROOSEVELT Triumphal Tour Through Empire State Marked by 17 Speeches, Calls Taft Bankrupt Politician and Roosevelt's appointee. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. A speech by W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate for President, in this city tonight on "Mr. Taft and His Scares" and two over flow talks formed the climax of an event ful day in the present campaign. Arriving here shortly after 6 o'clock and net by thousands of persons, Democracy's leader was accorded an ovation. Along with him from Syracuse came the new Democratic nominee for Governor of New York, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter. Among those at the station here to meet him were National Chairman Mack. William J. Conners, chairman of the Democratic state commfttee; Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, and Dante F. Coha- lan. The principal speech tonight was in convention hath which was packed to the doors, with several thousands on the out side unable to gain admittance. Mr. Bryan wss accorded a great demonstration. Presiding over the convention hall as semblage was Judge A. B. Parker, the Presidential candidate four years ago, who took advantage of the opportunity to pledge his fealty to the National ticket- As Mr. Bryan and Judge Parker stood side by side before the great assemblage, the cheering welled up- in a deafening roar. Mr,. Bryan acknowledged Judge Parker's pledge of his own support and the support of the "united Democracy of the Empire State" in words as gracious as the pledge that had been extended. Flays Roosevelt and Taft. Mr. Bryan's journey through the Em plre State was a triumphant one. Every where along the lines of the West Shore and New York Central roads Immense crowds turned out and greeted him with cheers, handciapping and the waving of flags and banners. At each place a speech wns insisted on and when he had got through for the day he had spoken 17 limes. He never lost an opportunity to flay both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft he characterized! as "President Roosevelt's appointee," and he declared that Mr. Roosevelt's indorsement of Mr. Taft was "the Indorsement of the bank rupt against whom one could not col lect." Utlca. the home town of Representa tive James S. Sherman, Republican nominee for Vice-President, vied with the other places In the greeting of Mr. Bryan, and he made a short speech to a crowd at the depot. In addition to the plaudits of the multitudes during the day, the Demo cratic candidate was showered with bouquets, and several campaign contri butions of considerable size were handed to him. Says Taft Makes Threats. Reverting to hia prepared speech upon the topic. "Mr. Taft and His Scares," Mr. Bryan said: Mr. Taft contemms that his arguments are rot convincing hen he attempts to Intro due scares and to threaten the public with riiater. if h la not eiocted. The threat - is always an admission that argument and persuasion have not been effective. Meas ured by thi test. Mr. Taft has already aban doned hope of convincing the public of the righteousness of his position. Let us take up the subjects with which he has been deal ing. On tha labor question he declares that our jdemand for a trial by 'Jury In case of In direct contempt I the mom Insidious attack on the judicial system In the history of the oiuntry. According to Mr. Taft. it would very much Impair the administration of Jus tic. He seems to forget that the very re form which we Indorse was indorsed by the United States Senate 12 years ago. His logic, if it were sound- In esses of indirect contempt, would eliminate the Jury entirely. The criminal Judge does not feel that his dignity is avtal ed when the accused Is given a trial by Jury: the common law Judge does not feel that It is a reflection on him for a party to a suit to insist upon trial by Jury; why should It seem such an unlawful thing for s jury trial to be enacted in a case of Indirect contempt? Defense of Bank Guaranty. In discussing the guaranty of bank de posits, he betrays the same tendency to sub stitute gloomy forebodings fT reason and argument. What is this difficult thing that will devastate the country if his aspira tions for the Presidency are thwarted? It Is the protection of the depnsltor who to in vited to entrust his savings to the care of banks. There are 15.000.MM) depositors in the United States and they are calmly as sured that the banking system can only be safe when the depositors are Insecure that to secure the depositors would make banking insecure. This logic may satisfy the big financiers from whom he ha drawn his argu ments, but It will not entsify the millions whose deposits make banking profitable. Exterminate. Not Regulate Trusts. Tr third scare presented by Mr. Taft la in th d:scunlon of the trust question. Ha say that "Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts to conduct their business in a lawful manner and secure the benefits of their op erations, th maintenance of the prosperity of the country of which thy are an Impor tant part : while Mr. Bryan would extirpate and destroy the entire business in order to stamp out the evito which they have prac ticed. " Tn using this emphatic language Mr. Taft has rendered us a service, because he admits that the Republican party does not intend to prevent trusts. It only proposes to regulate them and If we can judge the future by the past, that regulation will not be effective. Tf Mr. Roosevelt with all his strenuostty has not succeeded In imprisoning a single trust magnate, how much can the complacent Mr. Taft hope to accomplish in the way of regulation? Revision of Tariff. The fourth scare which Mr. Taft presents is excited by the Democratic declarations on the tariff questions. Speaking of our plat form proposal to make such radical reduc tions as may be necessary to restore the tariff to a revenue basis, he declares in his notifica tion speech that the introduction into power of a party with this avowed purpose cannot put halt the gradual recovery from our recent financial depression and produce business dis aster compared with which our recent panic and depression will seem very imall Indeed. Surely Mr. Taft cannot contemplate any ma' trial reduction of the tariff if he really believes that a gradual return to a revenue basis would Involve us In any business dis aster compared with which our recent panic and depression will seem small Indeed. Mr. Taft began his candidacy a year ago as a champion of tariff reform, but each month has witnessed a lessening of his seal until now his temperature, measured by the tariff reform thermometer, is close to xero. Hts platform begins with what at first glance might seem a pledge that something would be done. It says: "The Republican party declares unequivocally for a revision of the tariff by a special session of Congress, im mediately following the Inauguration of the aext President." The word "reduction" does sot appear in the platform. Tt Is "revision" not "reduction." and Mr. Taft has already Interpreted the word "revision" to mean the raising of some of the schedules and the lowering of others, but with no Indication as to whether the average will be above or below the praeent. What is there In the Democratic platform that can be construed as a threat to any legiti mate business? - TVHl it produce a panic to put on the free list articles that come in competition with articles controlled by the trusts? Democratic success will not bring panic to sny except those who have their hands in other people's pockets and these ought to b frightened. Will it disturb business to reduce materially the tariff on the necessities of lise, especially on those articles that are sold abroad cheaper than at home? If we can compete in foreign markets, do we need a high tariff to enable us to compete in the home markets? Since Mr. Taft has gone Into the business of pre dicting panics if he is not elected, it Is only fair to ask what guaranty he can give If he Is elected. No one can doubt that he honestly believes the country will go to ruin If he Is defeated and that It will prosper if he is elected, but what guaranty have we that his opinion is well founded? . I beg you to weigh the arguments. Be not mislea by the direful prophecies of a candidate who has convinced you that In some mysterious way the country's prosperity depends upon his election. BRYAN" CALLS TAFT HARD NAME Political Bankrupt and Appointee of Roosevelt, He Says. RAVEXNA, N. T., Sept. 16. Carrying his campaign Into the Empire State, William J. Bryan in several speeches to day on the way to Rochester, explained the difference in the performance of the Democratic and Republican parties and severely arraigned both Mr. Taft and President Roosevelt. His first remarks were made at Cornwall, where he spoke for two minutes. At Newburgh, the home of ex -Governor Odell, he denounced the Republican platform and declared he could call Mr. Taft, as a witness against it. To a great crowd at Kingston, the Democratic candidate warned his hear ers not to allow the Republican leaders to scare them from support of the Dem ocratlc ticket by threats of panic. He referred to Mr. Taft as "Mr. Roosevelt's appointee," and said, that the Presi dent's indorsement of Mr. Tart is the indorsement of a political bankrupt. against whom you cannot collect, even if you tried. - Mr. Bryan expressed his gratification that the East and the West were this year united and harmoniously fighting in defense of the Democratic platform. 'It might be possible to win a Demo cratic victory," he declared, "by the electoral votes cast in the South and in the states west nf the Alleghanies, but it will very much strengthen the hands of the Executive, very much strengthen our party In Congress if we can win a victory in which the South, iast and West can claim a share." The .Democratic candidate declared that there was nothing in the platform or any Democratic policies that menaced legitimate business, or that need make any honest man fear. 'Our desire is." he said, to restore permanent prosperity and universal prosperity. If we win, it will be a vic tory for the plain people of this country. who are asking nothing at the hands of the Government but justice, and who ought to be satisfied with nothing less than justice."

Confer With Ormsby McHarg;, Com plete Organization and Will Work for , More Taft Clnbs in Oregon. Because of the complete nervous breakdown from which he is suffering, W. M. Cake, chairman of the Repub lican State Central Committee, has transferred to the members of the executive committee the responsibility of conducting the Taft-Sherman cam paign in this state. That responsi bility has been accepted by the mem bers of this committee, which held a meeting yesterday and completed its organixation. The condition of Chairman Cake, who .is being treated in a local sani tarium, was reported yesterday to be serious. Although the state chairman has for several days been desirous of returning to Republican headquarters actively to assume management of the campaign, his physician, Dr. W. T. Williamson, yesterday announced that the physical condition of his patient was such that he would be prevented from taking any part In the pending campaign. Take Over Cake's Work. . . Receiving this ultimatum. Chairman Cake reluctantly submitted and direc ted that the details of the campaign should be proceeded with by the mem bers of the executive committee, which he had named. Chairman Cake has been under the constant care of a phy sician since his return from the East two weeks ago, and it has been his sickness that has delayed the inaug uration of an active campaign before. With Chairman Cake prevented from attending to his duties as official head of the party organization, Secretaary McArthur and the other members of the committee were powerless to act. They waited hoping Chairman Cake's condition would improve so that he could take charge of the campaign. It was this delay which for over two weeks embarrassed the members of the committee who were desirous of starting campaign work. It was the same condition that hastened the visit here of Ormsby McHarg, -personal rep resentative of National Chairman Hitchcock, who is making a tour of the Western and Pacific Coast states in con nection with the harmonious and aggres sive campaign work in the interest of the ticket in every state. ' Confer With Mr. McHarg. It remained for Mr. McHarg, after Investigating the situation here for a few days, to get the party workers together and organized thoroughly for campaign activities. Yesterday morn ing he held a conference with Senator Pulton and National Committeeman Williams and other men prominent in the party. At this conference, Mr. McHarg presented the situation squarely to the Republican leaders in this state and demanded concerted ac tion. His appeal that local differences be forgotten in the interest of a united effort for Taft and Sherman was ac quiesced in. During the afternoon the members of the executive committee held a meeting at headquarters in the Cham ber of Commerce building. The five members of the committee were pres ent as follows: ' Ex-State Senator C. W. Hodson, chairman; National Com mitteeman Ralph E. Williams, treas urer; Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman Multnomah County Central Committee ex-State Senator Slg Sichel and Dr. H. W. Coe. Clifton N. McArthur, secre tary of the State Central Committee, lso attended. Aside from a few individual sub scriptions, all the funds in the pos session of the committee is a check for $1000 which had been sent to Chairman Cake by the National com mittee and by him transferred to the executive committee. This n.oney is to be expended only to defray the ex pense of making a poll of the state and cannot be diverted for miscellane ous campaign purposes. This money will be made available Immediately for the purpose for which it was appropriated. Will Form Taft Clnbs. Secretary McArthur was directed by the executive committee to notify the county chairmen to proceed with the organization of as many Taft clubs n their respective counties as possibly could be formed. Mr. Williams yesterday announced the appointment of Dr. H. W. Coe, of this city, as National treasurer for Oregon. Mr. Williams had been re quested by Chairman Hitchcock of the National committee to designate some prominent and suitable Republican in this state to accept this office. He se lected Dr. Coe, who has accepted the appointment and will be a member of the National organization. The functions of Dr. Coe as National treasurer for this state, will be to so licit campaign funds throughout the state. This money will not be ex pended directly in Oregon. On the contrary, it will be remitted to the treasurer of the National committee at Chicago. The funds so collected from the different states will then be ap portioned to the several states in pro portion to their needs for campaign purposes. MOKE TAFT CLIBS PliAIfXED State Committee Will Work Inde pendent of League. By the time of the Presidential elec tion there ought to be Taft clubs enough in this state to enable the average Re publican to hold membership in at least half a dozen. The Oregon State League of Republican Clubs has established headquarters in the Board of Trade building and has begun the work of or ganizing these clubs throughout the state. Now it is proposed that the chair men of the Republican party organiza tions In the different counties, under the direction of the Republican State Central Committee, shall organize Taft clubs in every precinct in his county where there may be a request for such an organiza tion. Each of these movements to form Taft clubs will proceed independent of the other. When some fifty or sixty delegates met In the Selling-Hlrsch building Tuesday and organized the State League of Taft Clubs the executive committee appointed a committee with instructions to call on the officers of the State Central Com mittee and ask for a letter addressed to the various county chairmen and com mending the movement Initiated by the league. This committee performed its er rand yesterday, but the desired letter of indorsement was not forthcoming. In stead, the members of the executive com mittee, representing the state committee, authorized the . secretary to co-operate with the county chairmen in the organi zation of separate clubs to be affiliated with the Republican State Central Com mittee. This is possibly one spoke in the -harmony wheel Ormsby McHarg may have overlooked. DEFEAT DES MOINES PLAN (Continued from First Fage.) Des Moines plan, and to submit both to the people, who, he said, are the final arbiters. Mr. Montague then made his motion, which was later defeated. Several favored this method of proced ure, holding that it would obviate a mi nority report and would be better in every way. However, Mr. Holman clung to his motion with vigor, and was seconded by Senator Gearin.- The latter then spoke at some length, saying that he believed it a better course to adopt a detinue scheme, and to recommend some form of government., rather than to submit both plans. Senator Gearin said he thought it would be expected of the commission that It report to the Council only one plan. The argument that some had ad vanced, he said, to the effect that there is a public clamor for a radical change, and that the commission was suspected of having been created merely to perpet uate officeholders, was unworthy of con sideration.' Logan Favors New Flan. Mr. Logan had said that he knew there is a strong demand among the people for a radical change in the char ter, and declared that, in his judgment, the people would have a change, and that they would prepare the way them selves, unless the commission took the opportunity and offered such a charter. He also said he had heard it said that the members of the commission were appointed by the Mayor and ' the Coun cil for the purpose of arranging such a charter as would continue in office all the city officials. He expressed the be lief that, if the commission fails to sub mit both forms of government, its report will be rejected and another charter, submitted by the initiative, will be voted in by the people In June. After moving that it be the sense of the commission that the present nlan of city government be takea as the guide for ine new one, Mr. Holman proceeded to laud tne virtues of the one now in ooer- atlon. He said it is just such a charter as Theodore Roosevelt introduced in New xork, and which had met with great suc cess everywhere. He said that it seems to be the Fall style for 1908 that we must have the Des Moines plan of city govern ment, "and God only knows what the Spring fashions will bring forth." Mr. Holman favored "conservatism," and branded as "cranks" those who were urging radical changes. The present charter, he said, is a good one, although no charter Is perfect. While a member of the commission which drafted it, he said, "I am not like Joe Teal, and would keep all unholy hands off it." Mr. Teal was also a member of the former com mission. ' Mr. Holman admitted that tha present charter "needs a great many changes and 'revisions." Predicts Use of Initiative. Dr. Chapman, replying to "Mr. Hol man, declared that it is untrue that the charter, which Theodore Roosevelt in troduced into New York waa success ful. He said that it proved decidedly unworkable, and that another must be substituted. Dr. Chapman ' prophesied that the. people -will not. tolerate any thing in the line of a charter short of a radical departure from the present one, and that, unless the commission submits it, the initiative will be in voked. The people, .he said, are in no mood to be trifled with, and will re gard with great suspicion anything the commission puts out that falls short of the principle : of the- Des Moines plan. ' Dr. Chapman continued his re marks by stating that the editor of the Des Moines Daily Capital had written him, stating that there is no one in Des Moines opposed to the scheme of the city government, or dissatisfied with the results obtained under Its operation. Also that it is no small village, but a real city. with, a popula tion of very close to 100,000. Dr. Chap man also read some excerpts from a newspaper clipping, showing the views of President Elliot, of Harvard, who I Now is the time to buy the boy's School Shoes. Our lines are the most complete, at fair prices. Little Gents' Shoes, sizes 8 to 13 at $1.35 to $2.00. Our boys' shoes speak for themselves, $1.65 to $3.00.

He declared it to be defective and "a disgrace to the city. and said the principle upon which it is based has led to great corruption every where in the United State. He also de nied that it fixes responsibility, and pointed to several local instances to prove the point. That government under it is inefficient, he showed by allusion to the cutting of the new bitulithic pavement at Twelfth and Alder streets, lor tne pur pose of placing a fire hydrant. He also told of an Incident where-, the Portland Gas Company laid its mains along an East Side street directly following the laying of a hard-surface pavement. He asserted that a charter under which such outrages could be perpetrated is not the proper one for Portland. Would Submit to Both Plans. Senator Selling spoke briefly in favor of submitting both forms of government, as he said it is for the people to deter mine which one they want; that it is their right so to -decide. Mr. Kavanaugh, who is City Attorney, favored the present plan, "with some radical changes." Mr. New hall said that it is the custom for Port land people to talk against the town, but he believed all that is needed Is revision of the present charter. Mr. Rynerson said he favored the simplified form of government, but he would prefer to have a minority re port, rather than that the commission should submit both charters. He said that the public, the workfng- class in particular, is suspicious because they have been fooled. Mr. Wilcox said he had no political ax to grind, and had BEST THEATHEinr FOR CATARRH The entire inner portion of our bodies is covered with a soft, delicate lining called mucous membrane ; this is kept in healthy condition by the nourishment and vital vigor it receives from the blood. So long as the circulation remains pure thi3 membrane will be healthy, but when the blood becomes infected with catarrhal impurities and poisons this inner lining of the body becomes irritated and diseased, and the unpleasant and serious symptoms of Catarrh commence. There is a tight, stuffy feeling in the nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deafness, difficult breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though such measures afford temporary relief in some instances. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impurities and poisons. Then as rich, pure blood circulates through the body, the inflamed, irritated membranes heal, the discharge ceases, headaches are relieved and every symptom disap pears. Catarrh, being a disease in which the entire blood circulation is affected, can only be cured by a remedy that goes to the very bottom and removes every particle of the impurity fromrthe blood, and this is just what S.
