'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

tle Point, and Coquille City.
Democrats Plan Ralllea.
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,

IS NOT T
WALL-STREET MAX SAYS HE
WILL BE DEFEATED.
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.

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.
