SEEK ORATORS ELSEWHERE 'I Have Not Fully Made Vp My Mind." Kppltw ExpcotiT When Asked If He Will Make- Bryan Speeches Clark Coming. Depressed splrKs pervaded Democrat ic headquarters yesterday. The substi tution of gloom for the atmosphere of pleasant contemplation resulted from the report that Governor Chamberlain will not stump the state for Brvan. as he had announced he would. The as sistance of Governor Chamberlain on the .tunin.was the essential lever on which the Democrats were depending to carry Oregon for the. is'ebraekan. "It Is rumored at Democratic head quarters that you will not stump the stale for Bryan, In accordance with your announced plans of a fortnight ago." was asked Governor Chamberlain last night. "I have authorized no such announce ment." replied the Governor. -But the time Is short. Governor. Do you intend to canvass the state for the Democratic nominee?" was asked. "I have not fully made up my mind. I have not determined fully Juet what I will do." was the reply. However, the Democrats have not de spaired. The minority party has a re sourceful organisation In the men it has Intrusted with the management of the campaign. Disappointments are fac tors with which the minority always has dealt, and the state and local man agers of the party are prepared for any emergency. The fortunes of the Democratic ticket in this state thie year are confided in a quartet consist ing of National Committeeman M. A. Miller. State Chairman Alex Sweek, State Secretary J. B. Ryan and County Chairman George H. Thomas. Appar ently they have anticipated the atti tude of Governor Chamberlain, for they have been negotiating for some time with the National Committee and In sisting that additional patriots of Na tional reputation be assigned to this state. Repeated applications to the National organisation have brought the assur ance that probably two campaign speaker will be sent to this state be fore the campaign Is ended. The local managers are counting definitely on Congressman Champ Clark, of Missou ri, one of the foremost campaign speak ers of the country, as one of the two speakers to be furnished by the Na tional Committee. As to the second one. no choice has been expressed, al though It is possible that ex-Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, may be requested. The .ulcago man Is considered a val uable campaign orator and with the services of him and the Mlssourian. the Democrats are still counting on carry ing Oregon for Bryan, whether or not Governor Chamberlain abandons his non-partisan policy long enough to aid his party in Its efforts to overcome a 4S.A00 Rooeevelt majority. The Democrats have not yet given up their hopes of Inducing the National committee to send John Worth Kern, their nominee for Vice-President, to Oregon. Their hopes, however of hav ing the Indlanan sent to this state de pends entirely on their ability to con vince the members of the National com mittee of the possibility 01 carrying this state. It -remains to be seen If this representation can be made con vincingly to Chairman Mack and his associates. Dollivrr at Salem Friday Xlght. Elaborate arrangements are being made by the Republicans at Salem for next Friday night. October 1. when United Fiates Senator John P. Dolllver. of Iowa, will deliver an address. Senator Dolllver will reach the Capital City at 9:15 P. M. n the night of the rally and the audi ence will be entertained pending the ar rival of the distinguished Iowan by other speakers. At the conclusion of the Balera meeting Senator Dolllver will take a special train for Spokane, where he is echeduled for another address the fol lowing night The Senator will be met at the slate line by State Secretary McAr thur or some other Republican and es corted through the state. Kn route from the California line. Senator Dolllver will probably make several short addresses at the principal stations from the car platform. Tne Senator's itinerary will not permit him to make an address in Portland, a fact that Is of considerable regret to the members of the party In this city. Conrmmun Ellis' Appointments. C. N. MoArthur. secretary of the Re publican State Central Committee, yes terday announced the Incomplete itiner ary of Congressman W. R. Ellis, one of the distinguished Republicans of the state who has tendered his services to the party during the pending campaign.

The successful rally held by the Repub licans last Tuesday night and addressed by Senator B-?verid ge. of Indiana, has served to spur the Democrats to greater activity. The mtnorlty party, through Its county chairman. George H. Thomas, has arranged to hold meetings next week In the country precincts, with rallies scheduled for Gresham. St. John, and Troutdale. In addition to these meetings, rallies are being planned for Portland, mhlch will be addreosed by local speakers If outside talent cannot be secured.

Finds Xo Sentiment for Democratic Leader in Western States Xenr York Afraid of Hughes. 1 am satisfied that Bryan will be de feated worse in the November election than he was the last time he ran for the Presidency." said Frank M. Dick, a Wall street operator, at the Portland yester day. "In the East there Is very little sentiment for the Nebraskan, while there exlsta practically a unanimous preference for the election of Taft and the pro gressive policies for which he stands. "When I left New York City I was told to wait until I reached tne Western states, where, It was represented, I should find practically unanimous senti ment for the election of Bryan and Kern. I took particular notice after leaving Chicago and was greatly surprised to note the absence of talk favorable to Bryan and his running mate. The result of straw votes taken aboard the train, conversations with railroad employes and with people in the different cities I vis ited en route to the Pacific Coast, all revealed a strong preference for the Re publican nominee. Another significant fact I observed was that practically every newspaper with which I came In con tact, and I bought them freely, wis openly supporting Taft and Sherman. "From my observations I found It is an incontrovertible fact that the people do not trust Bryan. They have no con fidence In his policies and do not pro pose to substitute an untrained and un certain leader for a statesman of the rec ognized ability of Taft and the progres sive policies he represents. "There Is no question but that Taft will carry New York, but I have serious doubts that Hughes will be elected. Tam many Hall is not playing fair with Bryan. In the election next month they undoubt edly will be found trading Hughes for Taft. They do not want Hughes and. so far as the state Is concerned, do not care who Is President so long as they can retain control of municipal affairs In New York City. If Hughes is elected at all It will be because of the fact that this is Presidential year, not because the Republicans of the state want him. "Tha support by Hughes and his en forcement of the law prohibiting race track gambling will cost htm thousands of votes In his candidacy for re-election as Governor. The people of New York resent having what they consider their personal liberties curtailed by such legis lation. "The same Toters are suspicious of Hughes for the reason that they suspect that, should be be elected he will sup press stock exchange operations and eventually give the state prohibition. "Normal business conditions have about been restored In New York, following the panlo of last Fall. As a result of that financial disturbance we were hit a great deal harder than were the Pacific Coast states and It has been only during the last few weeks that we have begun to recover. During the last 30 days busi ness conditions In New York State have Improved substantially and the future outlook Is decidedly encouraging. But for the approaching Presidential election business conditions with us would now be normal. "In a great many ways. your city re minds me of Boston. I have visited Port land several times but I made my last visit 14 years ago. Naturally I am sur prised with the remarkable growth of your city during the Intervening years. An Inspection of your business and resi dence districts today has Indeed been a revelation to me." TEST FIRE-ALARM BOXES Rival Companies Will Demonstrate Before Executive Board. During a special session of the City Executive Board, yesterday afternoon, at which bids for fire-alarm boxes were under consideration. Mayor Lane told A. O. Long, of Portland, and F. C. Woods, of Seattle, representing rival companies, that they should get baseball bats and fight out their differences before com ing Into the presence of busy men to transact business. After the session the Mayor said that he would be willing to provide the bats If the men would agree to use them freely on each other. After wrangling for two hours, the bid ders and members of the Board taking part, the decision was reached that the demonstration of boxes will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the bids will be opened thereafter. Charges and counter-charges were hurled back and forth by the rival representatives for the Gnmewell and Star Companies, until Mayor Lane was obliged to call Mr. I-ong to order for Indulging In personali ties. Tlie Board reversed the action recom mended by the old fire committee, which recently resigned because of differences between themselves and other members of the Board. In the matter of a water tower. The old committee deemed It wise to order at once a tower, and bids were advertised for, when tlie trouble arose and the old members quit. At the first opportunity. Mayor Lane secured re versal of the action. He named a com mittee, consisting of Swett. Montag and Smith to secure a location for storing the toner, but the tower was not ordered. Mad a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L. Croom. the wldely knr.wn proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn. Miss., says: "For several months I suffered with a severe cough, and consumption seemed to have its grip oij me. when a friend re-ommended Dr. King's New Discov ery. I began taking it. and three bot tles effected a complete cure." The fame of this iiie-aavlr.g cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer Is world Wide. 5old at Wood ard Clarke 4 Co. drugstore. 60c and 11.00. Trial bottle free.

The meeting will be held In the convention hall of the Com mercial Club for the purpose of dis cussing plans and arranging further details In connection with the cam paign. During the week the various com mittees have been busy calling upon different business-houses and firms In the districts allotted to them. Many have withhold the reports of their ef forts until today, when It is expected that a large number of subscriptions will be reported. Others, however, have submitted reports of their progress, and the large number of tickets dis posed of shows the results. It is proposed to sell 6000 season tickets for next year's meet at J6 each, the proceeds to be used as a guar antee fund for the big show. A large number have already been subscribed for. and it is believed by those in charge of the campaign that the de sired number will soon be sold. Yesterday the committee represent ing the printing firms of the city sub mitted its report, which showed that the printers are also deeply Interested in the success of the big show. Throughout the state there have been evidences of deep Interest in the proposition and letters are being re ceived daily by The Oregonian inclos ing subscriptions from various sections of the -state. Following are the letters received yesterday inclosing subscriptions: Will Address Sunn) side Rally. R. R. Butler, Presidential elector, and Judjre J. Fi.

Thte will be the second rally by the Sunnyslde Club during the present campaign and a gen eral Invitation Is extended to all voters. BY LILIAN TINGLE. SMALL boys' pockets have been bulging with horse-chestnuts for some time past, but It la only this week that the new season's large sweet Spanish chestnuts have appeared in the market. They cost 85 cents a pound, and are so invitingly brown and shiny that it is hard to refrain from taking some to roast at one's "ain fire side." although the proper nut-roasting night Is still some weeks ahead of us. It Is rather curious that, though chest nuts roasted on the hearth usually tend to scorch on one side, or to sud denly pop and distribute themselves over the landscape in a disconcerting way, and to burn the fingers and en danger the complexion of the person or persons roasting them, yet they al ways taste better than those dlBoreetly cooked ones that are parboiled and skinned and served with cook-book ceremonies and accompaniments. New cocoanuts are in also, and hazelnuts; but so far I have observed no other kinds. Grapes are plentiful Tokays. Mus cats, Sweetwater, Cornichon, and Con cords, and they range In price from 25 to 60 cents a box. Apples are beginning their reign. 3o far Jonathans, Bellflowers and Snow apples are most prominent, but I saw a few Northern Spys and some Hood River apples I don't know their names that looked as If they would run about one to a pie. Is there any pie better than the right kind of apple pie? There are strawberries at 25 cents a box, huckleberries at 15 cents a, pound and cranberries at 15 to 20 cents a quart. A few choice peaches still re main costing from 95 cents to $1.25 a box. Pears cost from 15 to 20 cents, oranges 30 to 60 cents, persimmons 90 cents, and pomegranates $1 a dozen. Qroundcherrles, good for Jelly or for a salad, are 20 cents a pound, or $1.25 a box. Pineapples are to be had for from 15 to 25 cents. Fresh green figs cost 25 cents a dozen. There are still a few prunes at from 2 to 7 cents a pound and some rather nice green gages at 5 cents. Cassava melons are about 25 cents, cantaloupes 15 cents and citron melons 15 to 25 cents each. .
