SPEAKING TOURS PLANNED
Senators Bexeridge and Borah Are
Among 3fotd Orators Who Will
B Heard in Oregon Stats
Iieadcrs to Take Stump.
WTtvr may be the Impression In
Washington regarding apathy in the
ranks of the Republican campaign
managers, there was no evidence of it
yesterday at the headquarters of the
Oregon State and Multnomah County
committees, on the second floor of the
Chamber of Commerce
Secretary McArthur was found busy
at his desk dictating letters to county
chairmen and leaders of the party in
various parts of the state, and Na
tional committeeman Williams was on
hand to add his word of advice and
assist In discussing the situation with
callers, among them being prominent
members of the party. When asked
what was thought of the interview
with Judge Ballinger reported from
Washington yesterday. Mr. Williams
uaid he believed the Judge had been
misunderstood in what he may have
said, for there was no foundation in
fart for a belief that Taft and Sherman
were In danger in this state. He added
that in his Jast advices from Secretary
Hitchcock no adverse criticism was
made of the conduct of the campaign
in Oregon and no intimation made that
this state was considered at all doubtful.
He fully concurred In what Secretary
McArthur said and added that the case
might be made even stronger and be
within the actual facts.
Good Majority, Says McArthur.
"The management of the Republican
National committee need have no fear
about the electoral vote of Oregon,"
said Secretary McArthur. "Taft and
Sherman will carry the state by a sub
stantial majority. I do not wish to
speculate as to figures, but from ad
vices received from the outside coun
ties and from conclusions drawn from
local conditions. I feel warranted in
making the prediction that the Repub
lican Presidential electors will have a
majority that will be altogether satis
factory. This office has received most
encouraging reports from the outside
counties. Only yesterday I received
callers from Benton. Wallowa, Uma
tilla. Clatsop and Marion counties, and
they all assured me that Republicans in
those counties would vote the Repub
lican ticket and a good many dissatis
fied Democrats would scratch Bryan
and vote for Taft.
"The Republican State Central Com
mittee of Oregon has been unjustly
critlclsied in the East. It is true that
the campaign was slow in starting, but
this was due to the serious illness of
State Chairman William M. Cake. Ac
tive work, however, has been going on
for more than two weeks and satisfac
tory progress has been made. The
State Central Committee has distrib
uted more than 100.000 pieces of litera
ture. 25.000 lithographs of the nomi
nees, and 40.000 campaign buttons
throughout the state. These materials
have not been wasted, but have been
scattered systematically throughout
the counties.
Plans for Speaking Tours.
"Arrangements are now being made
for speaking tours and every county In
tiie slate will be included in the itin
eraries. A number of the leading Re
publicans of Oregon have volunteered
to go on the stump, and besides this
there will be some speakers of National
reputation from outside the state.
Senator Beverldge will be here for a
big meeting about October t and Sena
tor Borah will come a little later on.
This campaign is being waged solely
In the interests of Taft and Sherman,
local factional issues being given no
place, i am altogether satisfied with
the progress that has been made and do
not like tills outside criticism about
lack of effort on the part of our party.
"We expect to carry on a very vigor
ous campaign from now until election
day. and when the votes are counted
the majority will be such that the Re
publicans of Oregon may well be proud
of it. 1 shall be glad to see Judge
Richard Ballinger and receive such
suggestions as lie may offer, but there
is no occasion for alarm over the Ore
gon situation."
These Will Stump Stale.
Among the speakers that will appear
on the stump In Oregon during the
campaign are H. M. Cake, Senator Ful
ton. Wallace McCamant, J. D. Lee,
R. R. Butler, of Condon: Judge Stephen
A. Lowell, of Pendleton. Judge M. C.
Ceorge. Mayor George K. Kodgers of
Salem. Congressman Kills and W. A.
Williams. This Is only a partial list
of those who will be requested by the
state committee to speak. The cam
paign is to be opened October 10. when
Senator Beveridge will come to Oregon,
and Mr. McArthur says from that time
until election day it will be kept vigor
ously prosecuted In every county of
the state.
Referring to the alleged delay in
starting the campaign in Oregon, it
was said at headquarters that the Na
tional committee had not yet begun to
put much steam into the campaign, but
that before many days every part of
the country would be canvassed by
promtnent speakers, so that the people's
minds might be refreshed on the Issues
between the two parties, and the rela
tive merits and claims of the respective
candidates.
THOROUGHBRED CATTLE AT THE PACIFIC NATIONAL SHOW.
GRANGE FAIR IS " OPENED
State Lecturer Johnson at Miivsau
kie, Discusses Work of Order.
At the formal opening of the Milwaukie
Grange fair, last night. State Lecturer
J. J. Johnson, who delivered the opening
address, declared that the progress farm
ers have made In all lines the past few
years has been due to the farmers' or
der. He contended that through the ed
ucational department of the Grange a
better class of farmers had been de
veloped, and that life on the farm. In
stead of being Irksome and devoid of op
portunities, has become more desirable
than life In the city. Mr. Johnson devot
ed his address to an extended talk on the
Grange as an educational order, and
pointed out Its practical workings at large
and In the home. He also spoke of some
of the laws in which the farmers are in
terested, and mentioned especially the ne
cessity of protecting the Initiative and
referendum.

WOMAN FAILS TO APPEAR
BOXDSMEX OF MRS. WAYMIRB
TO FORFEIT $750.
Conspirator In Plot Against Mayor
Lane Has Loft Stale and Can
not Be Returned.
Mrs. Belle Waymire is not likely to
serve four months in the county jail
because of having conspired to blacken
the good name of Mayor Harry Lane,
She simply failed to show up at the
county jail yesterday to begin her term
of sentence.
Consequently her bail of $750 will be
declared forfeited. This loss will fall
upon local individuals whose names,
for obvious reasons, have never been
given to the public It is presumed
that they were willing that the bond
should go rather thair that the fair
Belle should be made to languish In the
morbid environs of the county's place
of detention.
Ten days ago Circuit Judge Ganten
bein allowed ten days time for the ap
pearance of the woman to show cause
why her ball should not be declared
forfeited. This period of grace ended
yesterday. During the day an order
was sent to Seneca Fouts, counsel for
Mrs. Waymire, directing that he pro
duce her in court Immediately.
But this task was a trifle difficult of
accomplishment from the fact that Mrs.
Waymire is commonly believed to be in
Missouri, or some other such remote
point. There she is safely outside the
court's Jurisdiction and since the charge
against her is only a misdemeanor it
Is not possible to bring her back to
Portland.
Raddlng, being neither a woman nor
especially good looking, is doing his
term in the jail without sympathy. He
has been serving for the past three
weeks and has some five months and
one week ahead.
When Mrs. Waymire left the city,
following her conviction and appeal of
her case to' the Supreme Court, she
said she would return to serve every
day of the sentence should the higher
court find against her. She had the
consent to leave of her bondsmen, who
ever they may be. The bond is of the
cash variety and bears the signature
of Mr. Fouts, but those who know that
lawyer say he has long since passed
the stage of putting up $750 of his own
money In such a cause. There is little
doubt but that the bondsmen, rather
than have the woman go to jail, con
sented to lose their money.
FIRST DEGREE IS CHARGED
Inquest Into Killing of Cbaries Heg-
burn at Lents.
First degree murder is the charge
which Casper Blickenstofer will have
to face because of having killed his
friend Charles Hegburn with a club at
Lents Tuesday night. Blickenstofer s
contention that the other threatened
him with a pitchfork was not borne
out at the inquest Into Hegburn's death
held by Coroner Norden yesterday.
Henrv Lundgren. a 9-year-old boy, who
saw the killing, testified that Hegburn
had no pitchfork or other weapon in
his hands when Blickenstofer struck
the fatal blow.
It. F. Courtney, who heard Hegburn
cursing Blickenstofer, said the blow
was delivered with such force that he
heard the impact 100 feet away. He,
too, said Hegburn was not armed with
a pitchfork. The jury in the case went
through the usual formality of finding
that the dead man was dead and that
the confessed murderer killed him.
After the Inquest Blickenstofer was
taken to the county jail anH assigned
to quarters in a section of the jail that
has come to be known as "murderer's
row," because of the ten prisoners
now sojourning there pending trial on
charges of this character.

Declares Roosevelt Has Lost Hosts
of Friends as Result of Attack
on Haskell Boomerang
That Will Hurt Taft.
That President Roosevelt has qualified
for membership lh his own Ananias Club
in his controversy with Governor Haskell,
of Oklahoma is the outspoken belief of
Congressman Theodore A. Bell, of Cali
fornia, who passed through Portland yes
terday on his way to Seattle. Congress
man Bell arrived in the morning from
Willamette Valley points, where he has
been campaigning for Bryan, and left at
2 P. M., for Seattle, where he will make
speeches for the Democratic candidate.
W. R. Jacobs, of Sacramento, a prom
inent lawyer and warm friend of Mr. Bell,
accompanied him.
"I believe President Roosevelt has lost
more friends In the last T2 hours than
any other man In the history of the coun
try in a similar length of time," declared
Mr. Bell at the Oregon Hotel yesterday.
"No man because he is President has a
right to malign another without stint. If
I. were Haskell, I believe I should sue
President Roosevelt for a nice large sum
for criminal libel.
"No other President in the history of
the country has so lowered himself as to
go out of his way and denounce private
citizens of the country who may happen
to disagree with him in political faith.
The attack upon Governor Haskell is un
worthy of a man who occupies the posi
tion that President Roosevelt holds.
"So long as Roosevelt has divorced
himself from the office of President and
has become the press agent and campaign
manager- of Taft, custodian of his cor
respondence and his conscience, it will be
Incumbent upon him to stay in this coun
try. In the event of Taft's election, and
see that he does as he is told to do.
"The denunciation of Haskell is a
boomerang that is already reacting
against the Republican candidate. The
people are no longer satisfied that Roose
velt shall take advantage of his position
as President to denounce citizens of this
country. The settlement of such dis
putes ae that with Governor Haskell de
pends merely upon veracity. Roosevelt
has heretofore urged his position to force
his opinions. upon the country and no one
else had any chance to stand before him.
The people are tired of this kind of thing
and it will be found that the recent un
warranted denunciation of Governor Has
kell will lose votes for the Republican
candidate.
"I have just completed a tour through
Jackson. Lane and Marlon Counties in
this state, and I find, particularly In the
first two counties, where I spent most of
the time, there is a strong tide turning
toward Bryan. Oregon has declared em
phatically for the election - of United
States Senators by a direct vote of the
necnle. The Republican convention at
Chicago turned down this proposition by
the people of Oregon were going to re
buke the Republican party to show they
are Inearnest when they voted for the
popular election of United States Sena
tors. "In my own state. California, it is my
opinion that if the tide continues to run
to Bryan as it is now, -California will be
a strong Bryan state by October 1. There
are splendid gains being made all over
the country for the Democratic candi
date and it looks like Bryan is sure to be
elected."
OKLAHOMA SENATOR TOXIGHT
T. P. Gore, Blind Orator, Will Make
Bryan Speech at Armory.
Tonight will mark one of the biggest
rallies of the Democrats in the present
campaign. Senator T. P. Gore, of Okla
homa, will reach the city this morning
and will speak tonight at the Armory,
where arrangements have been made for

committee, the county central committee,

the National Democratic convention will
have seats on thplatform.
Senator John M. Gearin will preside at
the rally, which is expected to he one of
the most enthusiastic to be held by the

paign. Senator Gore is said to be famil
iar with the practice of many of the
principles of the Democratic party as
they are in operation in Oklahoma and
he will tell about their success In that
state. Democratic campaign leaders who
are arranging the rally expect a very
large, audience at tonight's meeting.
Republican Rally Tomorrow.
While Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, is
speaking at the Armory tomorrow night
to the Democrats, the Republicans will
set up a counter attraction at Merrill's
hall, where some local talent will sup
ply the oratory. Under the auspices of

Club, there will be a Taft-Sherman ral
ly. Ben Rlesland will preside and
Colonel D. J. Haynes will be the speak
er of the occasion. Wallace McCom
mant. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, William

support Taft,
Democrats Hold Rally.
Democrats held a rally last night in
Artisan Hall. Portsmouth, which was
quite well attended. E. S. J. McAllister,
candidate on the Democratic ticket for
Presidential elector, and Bert Haney,
formerly Deputy District Attorney, made
speeches favorable to the cause of Bryan
and Kern,
FAIL TO FIX BLAME
Hydrant Hearing Leads to No
Definite Results.
GRAFT CHARGE FALLS FLAT
Complaining Company Refuss to
' Sign Definite Accusation Against
Inspector Phillips and Matter
Is Taken Under Advisement.
John Q. Shane, manager at Portland for
the Hoge Swift Company, local agents
for the Ludlow Valve St Manufacturing
Company, an Eastern firm, refused point
blank to sfcrn charges against either Fire
Chief Campbell or Hydrant Inspector
Phillips at the meeting of the fire com
mittee of the City Executive Board, and
the whole matter was taken "un
der advisement" at the suggestion
of Mayor Lane. Walter O. Haines,
of the same concern, who made
the verbal charges that Phil
lips is "financially interested In the Port
land brand of hydrants." was not present.
Responsibility for the two months' delay
in the acceptance of 85 fire hydrants, fur
nished by the Hoge & Swift Company,
and which were manufactured by the
Ludlow people, was not fixed, and that
matter will be reported back to the Ex
ecutive Board this afternoon. It is be
lieved that the failure of the fire commit
tee to fix responsibility will create dis
satisfaction.' Especially to this true as to
Thomas G. Greene, who Introduced the
resolution calling for the investigation
and lent his services as a private citizen
in directing the examination held last
Monday. He seemed to hold Chief Camp
bell to blame, but the members of the
Are committee did not so find.
Cases Are Apparently Ended.
The charge of dereliction of duty as to
the failure to test or accept the hydrants
and the sensational verbal charge against
Inspector Phillips grew out of the same
installment of hydrants. That nothing
will come of either feature of the case
seems certain.
Mayor Lane and the members . of the
Are committee held a long session, and
carefully considered both features of the
case. As the responsibility for the trans
action of business is so divided under the
city charter, it seemed impossible for the
committee to fix upon any one person
the blame for the long delay in accepting
the hydrants. The responsibility seemed
divided between Chief Campbell, the
Water Department, the contractors, and,
to a degree, the fire committee and the
Mayor himself, as was conceded by the
committee.
As to the charge of "financial interest,"
verbally made by Walter O. Haines
against Inspector Phillips, the commit
tee received from the Hoge & Swift rep
resentative letters purporting to state the
rumor that Mr. Phillips received money
for rejecting any hydrants but the Port
land brand.
Refuses to Sign Charge.
"Will you sign these statements and
thus bring a formal charge against Mr.
Phillips?" asked Mayor Lane of Manager
John G. Shane.
"We have given you the basis for our
statements, and that is as far as we will
go." replied Mr. Shane.
Marcus A. Fleischner, chairman of the
committee, said that he felt that the
charge Is too Berious to be made lightly,
and expressed himself as indignant be-
cauee no formal charge was made, to give
basis for a full Investigation. Richard
Wilson, another member of the commit
tee, said be did not have the time to "sit
around and listen to hearsay evidence,"
and L. T. Peery, the third member, said
he would not care to take cognizance of
mere rumors.
Upon the suggestion of Mayor Lane, the
matter was taken under advisement.
ADMEN TO INVADE SEATTLE
Pacific Coast Convention to Be Held
In Exposition City,
F. J. O'Brien, president of the Pacific
Coast Advertising Men's Association, in
a letter to R. M. Hall, states that the
next annual convention of the associa
tion will be held in Seattle, June 13,
I and 17. Portland will send a large
delegation to Seattle, and it is expected
that California will be extremely well
represented, owing to the fact thac June
15 has been designated as California
Promotion Committee Day. The Cali
fornia people are already planning an
Immense excursion which will give the
advertising men from that state a very
low rate.
Frank L. Merrick, chief of department
of publicity of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, is a member of the
Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Asso
ciation, and also writes Mr. Hall that
the advertising men of Seattle, together
with the Exposition management, are
preparing a great time for the adver
tising men of the Coast at the June
meeting.
