In the horn city of the Nfbrnkan. Will
iam IT. Taft tonluht not only indorsed
President Rooevelt position on the
queIlon of the puhMrltv of mmpalim
contributions, but defended It with ar
jrumenta clrulated to establish that po
sition as sound from the standpoint of
public ood and to show that the Bryan
position was one simply for pre-election
sensationalism.
Mr. Taft made eleven speeches In Ne
braska today before reaching- Lincoln,
and Ave speeches In this city tonight.
His audiences throughout were large and
enthusiastic and his reception in Lincoln
was made particularly gratifying; to him
by the enthusiasm and friendliness exhib
ited by the immense crowds which greet
ed him at all points. Excursion trains
cams to Lincoln from many places In the
stata during the day anil the city was
alive with bands, marching clubs and
general exhilaration and excitement.
Bryan Not at Home.
Mr. Bryan, who had planned to reach
th city this afternoon, has changed his
cneouie so us to nrlng him In at 1
o'clock tomorrow morning. This changa
precluded any possible meeting between
the candidates. The one disappointing
i-aiur or tlie lull demonstration in
Lincoln was the bad condition of the voice
or the candidate, lie had talked continu
ously throughout the day in the open air.
and this, added to the strain he has been
under during every day for the past eight
days, made him deridfdly hoarse.
Mr. Taft had Intended In the big meet
ing tonight at the auditorium, to reply
In his speech to the clmllongH of Mr.
Bryan concerning campaign contributions.
He. became so engrossed, however. In
other topics that he made only an Inci
dental reference to this phase of the
campaign and made an answer to the
challenge In a formal statement which
he tonight gave to the press.
Great Crowd Present.
Wh-n the Taft special readied Lin
coln shortly before 4 oVlock It was
greeted by sn Immense crowd. Without
alighting, however, the candidate was
switched out to Havrlock. where are lo
cated the repair shops of the Burlington
system, and he delivered to the work
Ingmen employed there his address on
labor. He was brought bark to Lincoln
before 5 o'clock and escorted at once to
the State University, where, at a meeting
of the students presided over by Senator
Burkett. he gave a short talk and met
the student bidy.
A concert and general Jubilation on the
Capitol grounds was then commenced,
which was carried out with vim, and
then the candidate wae taken to the
auditorium, which was crowded with
women, presided over by Mrs. Sheldon,
wife of the Oovernor. Here Mr. Taft
made one of hie characteristic talks,
which was received most enthusiastically.
After a dinner at the home of Governor
Sheldon he returned to head a parade
which escorted him again to the audi
torium, where the speech of the day was
delivered.

Mr. Taft's statement on campaign con
tributions Is as follows:
"Mr. Bryan challenges me to take the
same position that President Roosevelt
takes with reference to the time when
publicity should be made of campaign
contributions, and I accept the challenge.

While my talk with Mr. Roosevelt was
of a confidential nature, I am satisfied
that Mr. Bryan will hear from the Presi

"I believe that the President Is per
fectly willing to have Mr. Bryan write
him letters, and I am sure that he will
be able to cope with any situation the
Democratic party leader puts before him.
Mr. Roosevelt is bound to win the con
troversy, for the simple reason that he
Is In the right, and that Mr. Bryan Is In

PRESIDENT NOT TO CAMPAIGN
Will Not, Appear on Stump Unless
Outlook Changes.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. Secretary
Loeb today made the statement that
President Roosevelt had no intention at
present of making a speaking tour in

and expenditures Immediately after i ... ,A .. t
election. Mr. Bryan seems to favor
the publication of contributions before
the election, but postpones the publica
tion of expenditures until after that
time. I confess I see no reason why. If
contributions are to be published before
election, expenditures should not also
be published.
"I think that the character'of the
expenditures Is quite as Important as
the character and source of the con
tributions. I don't know of any elec
tion law. either In this country or
broad, which requires the publication
of contributions or expenditures before
the election

'This was the law which the Democratic
managers In 1004 In Nebraska so flagrant

reeelpt of lo.0V from Thomas F. Ryan.
"The most drastic law In this country on
the subject Is that of New York, which
also takes the time for publication after
the election.
The proper object of a publicity law
la to prevent the use of money for bribery
and other Improper purposes In elections
and to enable the law officers of the
tlovernmrnt and the public to determine
whether the contributions made were
properly expended for legitimate pur
poses. The requirements that the names
and amounts of the persons contributing
should also be shown is for the purpose
of enabling the public and prosecuting
officers of the Government to Judge
whether subsequent official action has
been improperly affected In favor of con
tributors by the successful candidate.
This can all be accomplished by publica
tion after the election.
the Presidency. Many Invitations had been
received by the President. Mr. Loeb said,
but Mr. Roosevelt never has stated that
he would take the stump.
When asked whether, if the situation
took such a turn that the President might
consider that making a speaking tour
would materially aid the Republican
cause the President In that event would
take the atump. Mr. Loeb replied that he
might or might not do so. and added that
no one could tell what the future would
bring forth.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. r Ex-United
States .Senator John L. McLaurtn, of
South Carolina, last night gave out a
signed statement regarding the corre
spondence between himself and John D.
Archbold, vice-president of the Standard
Oil Company, as recently nsade public by
W. R. Hearst.
"An effort has been made to create a
political- sensation by the' publication of
certain correspondence between John Z.
Archbold, vice-president of the Standard
Oil Company, and myself. For that cor
respondence I have no apologies to
make. At the time the letters were writ
ten I had the honor to enjoy and am
proud still to possess, the friendship of
Mr. Archbold. for whom I have the high
est regard. At the time the letters were
written I was engaged In a bitter strug
gle In which was Involved not only my
own political future, but the economic
and political principles for which I stood
and which, stated briefly, meant the
emancipation of the South from the ig
norant prejudice of Bourbomsra and the
'Bloody shirt' Into the freedom of an en
lightened self-interest, and the progress
of an Intelligent Industrialism.
Sings Praise of Standard OH.
"In the support of these principles and
the hope of tills progress I saw then no
Impropriety In enlisting, if practicable the
assistance of the most progressively ad
ministered and the most Intelligently of
ficered corporation that human Intelli
gence has yet produced. Nor has the
enormous body of statutory crime since
created or the hypocritical affectation of
morality assumed by some of our legis
latures and Congress In any wise changed
my point of view or quickened my con
science as seems to have been the case
with some of my former colleagues and
associates.
"The constituencies that they represent
do rot hesitate to take Mr. Carnegie's
trust produced and tariff protected money
for their churches and libraries, or to ac
cept Mr. Rockefeller's large donations
for the education of the negro whom they
have disfranchised. If political campaigns
are to be run without money and polit
ical progress is to be achieved without
final expenditure. It Is hUrh time that
both parties should be apprised of the
Utopian era. but until that period has
arrived. I can see no reason, why I. when
battling for what I conceived to be the
right, should seek to decline or accept the
support, whether financial or personal, of
which I stood In need. Men may die. but
right principles persist and In the end
they will triumph.
Rescue South From Oligarchy.
"I believe the South, and especially the
state of South Carolina. Is today throttled
In Its natural progress and Its Intelligent
exercises of the right of self government '
by an oligarchy, which keeps alive the
prejudices of a past generation through
the perpetuation of ignorance and cor
ruption and I shall welcome the day
when the educational propaganda which
can only be spread by the use of money,
whether It be Standard Oil money or
railroad money or any other money save
that derived from the governmental sale
of whisky, will .enable the people to see
more clearly their own best interests and
cast out their leaders whose hypocritical
morality and lll-disguteed selfishness are
responsible for the fact that in the South
illiteracy Is greater and the Increase of
wealth slower than In any section of the
Union.
"It Is the fashion of the present day of
political hypocrisy lo abhor the trust and
to pretend in public life to proscribe the
influence of wealth; but as In this coun
try and in this age wealth must be the
reward of Intelligence. I am not willing
to be considered among those cowardly
enough to deny It. the. influence which In
telligence has always exercised under
every form of government thus far de
vised. Of a government of ignorance, I
have had enough in my native state. I
hope for and shall continue to work for
a government of Intelligence.

Senator McLaurin has been In New
York a day or two and Is leaving today
for South Carolina. He said he had noth

the foregoing signed statement.

incipient cholera and prepared the food
for the cadets for several days, ine cook
contracted the disease in the cholera hos
pital, where he was sent on a mistaken
diagnosis. When the physician discovered
his error, the cook was discharged and
allowed to return to duty. This gross
carelessness n.'sulted in 58 of the cadets
coming down with the disease. Five of
these cases ended fatally.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-Henry T.

has practically decided to abandon the
Idea of an appeal to the Department of
Commerce and Labor In an effort to se
cure a reversal of the order of deporta

kAlfhough a British subject, Bosman
bases his defense of polygamy upon the
customs of the Chinese, from which race
he is descended on his mothers side. In
explanation of his position he said:
"The worship of the family Is one of
the leading tenets of Confucianism and
Polygamy is a t.art of this religion,
partly in order that a family name may
live forever. In my own home the taking
of a second wife was suggested by my
first, who desired, in accordance with the
national custom, that there should be
descendants to worship at the family
shrine. . .
"The position of my second wife Is
Just as sacred as that of the first. In
fact my second wife is revered by my
flrst as the one to whom honor is due
for perpetuating the family name.

Women's Sample Suits $37.50
This will be the greatest sale of tai
lored suits ever held in Portland, for we
have secured the sample lines of three
prominent manufacturers at prices that
mean a material saving to every custo
mer. There is not one suit in this big
collection that was made to sell for less
than $45, and the greater number were
intended to be sold at $47.50, $50 and $60.
Manufacturers, as a rule, have their
designers produce for them at the be
ginning of the season several hundred
single garments. From these they se
lect a few special styles which make up
their line and the rest are called dis
cards. This is not a reflection upon
the garment, for the most frequent rea
son why a maker does not adopt a style
is that the designer has used too expen
sive materials and he is not able to re
produce it to sell at the price intended.
Therefore it is not because these dis
cards are not satisfactory as suits that
objection is made to them, but because
they are too good. It is suits of this
character we offer you at this sale, and
it is a great pleasure to us to do so, be
cause we can give more style, more
value and more garments to select
from than we have ever offered at any
previous sale. $37.50.
One of the many pretty models is illustrated above.
There are a great many stj'les in the collection, and they
come in broadcloths, serges, worsteds, cheviots, etc.
NOTE The facts for the above advertisement were taken
from a telepram from our buyer and while the goods were
en route. Upon their arrival the writer, in order to verify
every assertion made, inspected the entire collection and
found them to be very much better in every way than
they have been represented above.
