Busy as bees are the leaders of the

The speech of Beverldge Tuesday night
get them scurrying to counteract what
ever Influence It might have by spread
ing broadcast a printed circular, let
ting forth alleged omlailona and short
comings of the epeech.
Democrat are very aura that they are
going to do big things In Oregon, and
that they will make the 82.000 regis
tered Republican majority dwindle
faater than an ice-chunk on a hot day.
Chairman Thomas, of the Multnomah
County Committee, says hat Bryan's
victory in this state will at least equal
Chamberlain s 1522 plurality for United
mates Senator, while his more optimis
tic brethren are counting on
&ono or
10.000 plurality.
Means Much In Patronage,
As a matter of fart, however, down
deep in the hearts of the Bryan man
agers In this state there la not very
trong hope of giving Oregon's four
electoral votes to Bryan. But there la
firm-seated belief that Bryan may win
in the Nation. This would mean big
ihlnci for the Democratic brethren in
Oregon In the line of patronage. Con
sequently. they are striving hard to
rnake as fine a showing as possible for
Bryan In Oregon anu to
other.
Should Bryan win. the dictators of
Oreaon patronage will be Alex Bweek,
chairman of the State Central Commit
tee; Milton A. Miller. National Commlt
' teeman; George H. Thomas, chairmanof
tlut Multnomah County Central com
mittee: John B. Kyan, secretary of the
State Committee, and Governor Cham
berlain. These men are virtually run
i nlng the whole of Bryan'a campaign In
Oregon, despite the effort of a bunch
of "non-partisans' to break In. headed
by C. 8. Jackson and J. N. Teal. These
two men constituted a committee which
undertook to raise a campaign fund
and disburse It. and otherwise take
important functions away from the
State and County Central Committees,
but which ended up In doing little or
nothing. There was too much resent
ment In Democratic circles.
Stump State for Bryan.
John M. Gearln. Thomaa O'Day and
John Manning mill be sent forth to
preach the Democratic gospel. Mr.
Gearln to Eastern Oregon and the two
others to Coos County and Southern
Oregon. Mr. Gearln will speak in Pen
dleton next Saturday and In Baker
City next Monday. Next week August
Hucksteln. of Salem, member of the
I'lgarmakers' Union, will speak In
Portland. Democrats are relying heav
ily on the labor union vote. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, la scheduled to ar
rive about October 10. and George
Turner, of Spokane, may take a cam
paign whirl through Eastern Oregon.
Chairman Thomas eald yesterday
that he had found many faults in the
Beverliige speech. He declared that
Beverldge swept past such big matters
as direct election of Senators, guaran
tee of bank deposits. Initiative and ref
erendum and other matters which
would be shown forth on the stump by
Democrats.

George Fred Wiltams. of Boston,
formerly one of the lemocratle leaders
in Congress, who has been speaking
in Oregon for Bryan, passed through
Portland yesterday en route for Spok

Portland was brief, but he left a glow

State Chairman Sweek and Executive
Committeeman Miller that there would

Health, and conditions have been found
to be bad In some Instances. Itch
seems to be prevalent, and scalp dis
ease Is also apparent. At Shattuck
School six cases of Itch were detected,
lilphtherta has not been discovered
as yet by either of the Inspectors.
Reports have been made by the In

The Inspectors make their reports to
the Health Olflcer. who notifies the
parents of the condition of their chil

medical attention, the department takes
hand and elves proper treatment.
Mrs. Rachel P. S hat to. elected to the

entered upon her duties as yet, but will

conjunction vlth the inspectors, and
will devote her time teach Ins; parents

pctor. especially in the foreign
quarters.
City Superintendent Rlgler stated
yesterday that the inspector are wel
come in the schools and their help in
detecting- disease is appreciated, but he
was unable to understand how the re
port of four cases of diphtheria was
made from the Ladd School. He felt
that 11 was Inspired by the inspectors,

STAYS H1Y FROM MILT
BOURSE SLIGHTS BEYER IDGE
AT ARMORY SfEETISG.
Reported That Indianan Soled. Sen-
ator's Coolness and Later Re
fused to Talk 'With Him.
While Senator Beverldge was speaking
for Taft Tuesday nls;ht and Republican
enthusiasm waa at hlfth tide Senator
Bourne, who would be the first Repub
lican figure In Oregon, was nowhere to
be seen In the Armory, though he had
received a ticket tor a platform seat and
was a member of the reception commit
tee. Senator Bourne was so conspicuous
by his absence that Democrats are glee
fully pointing to It as evidence of his
apRthy toward Taft.
During the rally Senator Bourne waa
off by himself in the Arlington Club
nursing a cold, fearful that It would
develop Into pneumonia should he appear
in public.
It waa known for a considerable time
prior to the rally that Bourne would
not be able to attend. One reason as
signed was his well-known aversion to
appearing in public Never has Senator
Bourne been known to make a speech,
and he has always avoided appearing
where he might be called upon' for re
marks. As Senator Bourne would have
been expected to occupy the platform
alongside Senator Fulton he would cer
tainly not desire to give Fulton any ad
vantage or leadership over himself.
since Fulton makes speeches. while
Bourne does not, and Fulton moreover
was to Introduce Beverldge. This In it
self would give Bourne a place of sec
ondary importance.
It is noised about that Beverldge ob
served the conduct of Senator Bourne
and flatly refused after the rally to speak
to him over the phone, as Bourne re
quested him to do. Bourne had left at
the Commercial Club a note asking Bev
erldge to call him up at the Arlington
Club by telephone, after returning from
the rally. The story goes that Bever
ldge on entering the Commercial Club
asked for the key to the room that
was assigned to him. but was first of
fered the note from Bourne. Whereupon
Beverldge exclaimed sharply:
'I didn't ask for anything from Sen
ator Bourne: give me my key."
Beverldge had been received at the
train by Senator Fulton. Judge C V.
Gantenbein. R. E. Williams. C. W.
Hodson and C. S. McArthur. Though
Bourne was a member of the committee,
he failed to be present. Beverldge was
escorted to the Commercial Club, where
after a time Bourne put in an appear
ance. The party then went to the Ar
mory by auto, where Bourne took his
leave, saying ha feared the drafts of
the hall would be bad for his cold.
At Democratic headquarters County
Chairman Thomaa thinks Bourne's ab
sence was significant of the displasure
felt by many Republicans with Taft and
as evidence that they will support Bry
an. Chairman Thomaa otherwise thinks
the Beverldge rally in many other ways
made TOtes for Bryan.
Sew Liberal Party Formed.
CHATTANOOGA. Oct 8. In a con
vention of Its organisers here today,
the birth of the new Liberal party waa
formally proclaimed and its platform
of principles announced.

DATES FOR PARTY ORATORS
Secretary of Republican Committee

Speakers Who Will Stump

C N. McArthur, secretary of the Re
publican State Central Committee, re
turned yesterday morning from Ash
land, having accompanied United
OF EAST SIDE BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB TO GRANGE FAIR AT
States Senator Beverldge to the south
ern part of the Btate. Mr. McArthur
was highly pleased with the hearty
reception accorded the Indiana states
man at the various cities In which he
made speeches. Large crowds were
out to greet Senator Beverldge at
Roseburg. Grants Pass and Ashland.
At Myrtle Creek and other points
where the train stopped only a few
minutes. Senator Beverldge shook
hands with the crowds that had gath
ered at the depots.
"I am very much pleased with the
Taft outlook In Southern Oregon." said
Mr. McArthur last night. "The recep
tlon given to Senator Beverldge at
Portland was one of the largest politi
cal meetings ever held In the state, and
the Senator's reception at every place
where he spoke, or where the train
stopped for a few minutes, was In keep
ing in enthusiasm and size with that
given him at Portland. At Roseburg,
Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland the
crowds were large and very anxious to
hear Senator Beverldge, and on every
side I beard expressions of an assured
victory for Taft. During the trip I
met and talked with a great many peo
ple, and found a strong Taft senti
ment." On his return Mr. McArthur at once
resumed preparations for the vigorous
Republican campaign throughout the
state. He has mapped out a long and
hard Itinerary for the speakers. The

THREE LESSER PARTIES CLAIM
20,000 IS OREGOS.
Socialists, Prohibitionists and Inde
pendents Are Carrying On Ac
tive Campaign in State.
Oregon's three lesser political parties
think they will cast some 20,000 votes
in the Presidential election. These
votes, if combined for one of the two
leading candidates, would probably
carry this state for him. The strong
est of the three minor parties Is the
Socialist, which will cast between 7003
and 10,00 votes. Prohibitionists ex
pect to cast 5000 or 6000 votes, and the
Hearst Independents will also come in
for several thousand. The total of
these three parties will make a large
aggregate opposition to Taft . and
Bryan. The Populists have no separate
ticket in Oregon and their votes will
be divided between the Democratic, the
Socialist and the Independence candi
dates. Each of the minor parties has an active
propaganda. Each has headquarters In
Portland and is in communication with
Its local centers throughout the state.
Each is making e. campaign of speeches.
Last night the Socialists were repre
sented at Pendleton by Tom J. Lewis, of
New York, National organizer of the
party, who will make a campaign In
Eastern Oregon, and at Roseburg by Ed
Lewis, who will make a campaign In
Western Oregon. On October 15, Herbert
Langerock, an American correspondent
of several European newspapers, will
come to Oregon to make a series of
speeches. Recently Debs, the Socialist
candidate for President, passed through
this part of the country. Last week
Arthur Morrow Lewis, a Chicago Social
ist, made several speeches. Thomaa
Sladden. state secretary of the party, is
heading the organization work.
Socialists point with pride to their
having paid Debs J1O0O for his visit to
Portland. Of this sum, 8232 was raised
by donations and more than 8SO0 from
sales of reserved seats at the Debs rally.
The Sociallstparty in Oregon haa some
84 local divisions. In Multnomah are
seven branches of the local for this dis
trict. Prohibitionists, for the rest of the cam
paign, will have to rely, on local speak
ers. The chief work in this direction
will be done by J. P. Newell, state chair
man; F. McKercher, secretary, and B.
Lee Paget, treasurer. Next Wednesday
at the White Temple. W. P. Elmore, of
Brownsville, is scheduled to speak.
Hearst is scheduled to speak for the
Independence party next Monday.

It consists simply of a few notes rela

The suit of Patrick Rooney against
the Portland Railway, Light & Power

which tried the case could not agree
whether the railway company ought to

weather made the Fair a success, and
the Immense throngs that came from
every direction filled the buildings and
the "Furrow'" with such a throng as
was never seen In Gresham before.
Early In the afternoon the East Side
Business Men's Club and the Portland
Retail Grocers' Association arrived on
three special cars, accompanied by a
uniformed band, and were heartily wel

remarks of hearty approbation for
their excellence and beauty.
The visitors returned to Portland at

their reception and the many wonder
fuUfeatures exhibited for their benefit.

ordinance specifies that a certificate
shall be delivered with each cord of
wood testifying to the accuracy of the

other dealers whom he claims are like
