THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1903. BUSY SUNDAY FOR CANDIDATE TUFT Addresses Three Big Meetings Aside From Political Work and Goes to Church. INDORSED BY NEGROES GItm Non-partisan Talk to Colored Audience, Telling Them Tbejr Mast Solve Own Problem. Telia of Y. M. C. A. Work. KANSAS CITT. Oct. I. It has been definitely decided that Judge Taft shall closs his campaign on the night of No vember 2 at Tounxstown. U. The Nation al cam Dai n of the Darty was opened that place with Governor H unties as the speaker, and It has been deemed fitting that the National candidate should make hie closlna- address at that place. The announcement was regarded as In tereatlng. from the Indication It points to that the candidate will be occupied act Ivelr right uo to the last. After the Youngstown meeting Mr. Taft will leave at once tor Cincinnati to cast his vote the following day. Details of Itinerary Incomplete. The detail of the Itinerary of the can didate after he closes his Western tour in Chicago. Wednesday night, have not been finally worked out, but will be com pleted. It Is said, this week. Candidate Taft had an exceedingly hard time to carry out what he desired, and had planned a programme of rest today. He reached the city at 7 o'clock this morning from Topeka and was met by a local welcoming committee, consisting of 8ena' tor William Warner. Representative El C. Ellis and State Chairman W. S. Dickey. They escorted him to the Baltimore Ho tel, where a private breakfast party oc cupied an hour or more, and demands of local politicians for "Just a handshake consumed the time until the church hour. With Mr. Kills, the candidate attended services at the Beacon Hill Congrega tlonal Church, and from there lunched at the residence of Mr. Dickey. An automobile ride over the numerous boulevards of which Kansas City is proud was taken, after which the real work of the day began. Mr. Taft had some time ago consented to talk of the work of the Y. M. C. A. to an audience of men at the Independence-Avenue Methodist Episco pal Church. The audience completely tilled the church, and the crowd outside which demanded admission was twice the number of that inside. Windows in the edifice were broken, so great was the eagerness of the crowd to get a glimpse of the candidate, and It was only after It had been announced that Mr. Taft would address the overflow meeting that the In side meeting" was allowed to proceed In quiet. Mr. Taft delivered the same speech he made last Sunday to a similar audience In St. Paul, tie (rave, his strongest In dorsement to the work the Association Is doing, particularly In the Philippine Isl ands, the Orient and Panama, to say nothing of the work In this country. He n'ade no reference In any manner to polities. Address? Audience of Negroes. When the outdoor meeting had also been addressed. Judge Taft was Informed by a committee which had been waiting for htm that a large meeting of negro men and women had assembled In the Inde pendence Baptist Church with the full ex pectatlon that he would come there and say Just a word. As Mr. Taft put It, when he stood be fore the negro audience: "I'm Just looking In on you a moment aa I go by." He then told his hearers that he was a friend of the race, had always been one, and had strong beliefs regarding their condition In the future. They faced, he said, a problem which the race itself must solve. He believed the negroes of the United States would solve the problem, and solve it right. "You must make yourselves useful members of the body pontic." he said, "and to do this you must educate your selves Industrially and thoroughly. You must learn to be frugal and husband vour resources. Your development along these lines has been great and there la but one prediction that ran be made as to the future, and that Is a bright one." What Mr. Taft said moved the audi ence to great enthusiasm, and the speak ers of the race who followed him made no pretense of concealing their political sen timent!. The candidate was roundly cheered when he left the meeting, which continued with speeches strongly Indors ing htm politically. It was dusk when the candidate fount himself tn his rooms at the hotel, when orders were Issued to give him the utmost quiet possible. Mr. Taft admitted that he felt greatly fatigued with the work of the trip, but expressed the belief that a long night's rest would put him In trim for the work In Missouri, which Is to be gin early tomorrow. An added meeting was placed on the Itinerary today, to be held at Kansas City. Kan., at S:30 In the morning. The route lies through Leavenworth. Kan.; St. Joseph. Mo.; Marysvllle. Chllllcothe and Frookflekl. with an evening meeting at Macon. Ga. TIME TO DROP THEIR "ISSUES" Judge Balltnger Urges Voters to Slk-k to Tried Principles. SEATTLE. "Wash.. Oct. 4. (Special.) Judge H. A. Balllnger. ranking mem ber of the advleory committee to the Republican National Committee, found, n a recent trip to the East, that varl oua political creeds or "Isms" have In some places attracted a following that the campaign managers of the Republi can party are winning back to old standards. "The traditions of following a settled Government are not as binding as they were formerly." said Judge Balltnger tonight, "and men are attracted by Bryanlsm, Hearstlsm. Socialism and de veloping a tendency to follow false gods, rather than be contented with tried and stable conditions. "It seems to me that when the coun try offers a man of tried ability, con servatism and patriotism, such as Wil liam H. Taft, that people should forget their 'Isms' for a time and look to the best Interests of their country, which are their own Interests ultimately. "The people of the Northwest should remember. I think, that the great com mercial development of this section ts tn a large measure dependent upon the stability of the Federal Government and the continuation of the policies which have made possible the active development of the past few years." ers. not particularly Interested In poll tics, and knowing that they have good Jobs, will take the hint. Passing tbe Word Around. An official of the Department of Jus tice, who- has- been interested in the prosecution of the Standard Oil Com pany, has been recently In the three states above referred to, and he reports that the word Is now going around among the employes of that company that Bryan ought to be elected. These laborers are not being flatly Instruct ed to vote for Bryan; they are not be Ing threatened with dismissal if they fall to vote for Bryan, but they are given to understand that their employ. ers expect them to vote the Democratic ticket, and for the most part they be lieve It Is good policy for them to do so. It Is a case of "a word to the wise," and according to this official, the laboring men employed by the Standard OH are, as a rule, very willing to act on a sug gestion from their bosses. It is a fact, said this official, that the standard OH Company opposed Roosevelt In 1904, but in that campaign no such In fluence was exerted as is being used this year. No Instructions were sent around to tbe employes of the company, and no Intimation was given that they would do the right thing by voting for Judge Parker. But this year the officials of the company are very active, politically, and every wage-earner on the Standard Oil pay roll is notified of what he is ex pected to do. Causes Republicans to Worry. This organised effort of the Standard Oil Company to defeat Taft will aid the Democrats In Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. Taken by Itself, this Standard Oil vote Is not sufficient to swing any of these states, but when this Influence Is added to disaffection among the negroes, and to local Issues, which are embarrassing the Republicans In all three states. It does not tend to Increase confidence among Republican campaign managers. Of course, the Standard Oil Company has Its reasons for supporting Bryan. It knows what to expect if Taft Is elected; it also knows the character of men who would surround Bryan if the Democratic ticket should triumph. And it depends upon the Influence of Bryan's friends to call off the National Administration In the event of a Democratic victory In No vember. This corporation la supporting Bryan, aa against Taft. simply and solely because It knows It has leas to fear from a Democratic than a KepuD- llcan administration, and the attitude of the Standard Oil Company, taken after careful Inquiry Into the real stand of Bryan and the Democratic leaders, does not tend to strengthen public confidence In Mr. Bryan's promises of trust prose cutions If he Is elected to the Presidency.

Want Right to Kill Pheasants Be fore City Hnnters Gobble All in Sieht. ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 1 (Special.) Linn County farmers have started a move-. ment for the amendment of the state game laws so that China pheasants may be killed without regard to season oy fanners, fruitgrowers and gardeners. who find the birds In growing crops. The matter was broached at a meeting of the Unn Cauntv Council of the Grange, held yesterday afternoon at the hall of West ern Star Grange, near this city. After considerable discussion It waa referred to the subordinate granges or trie county for consideration and will receive definite action at the next meeting of the coun cil in November. To Drevent the game birds preying UDon growing crops of all kinds la the purpose of the present movement Farm ers who were present at yesterday's meeting want the game laws amended ao as to give the farmer rather than the city or town hunter the China pheasants. "He raise the birds and ought to have the right to do aa we please with them," was the gist of the sentiment expressed yesterday. To accomplish this eno me louowing amendments to the existing game laws were suggested : To permit the killing of game birds and game animals without regard to season when round in growing crops, the killing to be done only by the owners of the farm, orchard or garden where the birds are found, and the owner to have the right to nse the birds ao SJ1U4 for food, but for no other stir pose; requiring a heavier license for non resident hunters; requiring all hunters to carry a written permit to hunt from the owner of the land traversed; to put a tax upon all guns and dogs except those kept by farmers, the gun and doga of the latter to be kept for protection from ravages of game birds only and not for promiscuoua hunting. All of these proposed alterations In the game laws were generally discussed and many of them were favored, but none In dorsed by resolution. All will be def initely considered after a month's dis cussion In the subordinate granges. While most of- these amendments will be favored by farmers they will probably be strenuously opposed In the towns of the state. COMB DRIVEN INTO HEAD First Vancouver Streetcar Accident on New Line.
