CAMPAIGN
New Republican Orators Out
in State Getting Votes for
Taft and Sherman.
TWO RALLIES IN PORTLAND
Meetings This Week at South Port
land and Sellwood Enthusiasm
in Eastern Oregon Big Time
at Union Club Smoker.
In the management of the campaign by
the Republicans in this state. State Secre
tary McArthur is receiving the loyal co
operation of the younger members of the
party. Heading the list might be men
tioned R. R. Butler, of Condon, one of
the party's Presidential electors, who is
proving one of the most capable speakers
on the stump. Frederick Steiwer, a young
attorney of this city, has also volunteered
his services and will make his maiden
speech at Forest Grove Monday night,
when he will speak in conjunction with
Mr. Butler.
Another young Republican who is doing
effective campaigning Is Representative
elect McKinney, of Baker County, who
Is touring the Willamette Valley with Mr.
Butler. Monday night these speakers ad
dressed a meeting at Eugene, which was
one of the most notable political meetings
that has been held in Lane County In
years. In addition to those enumerated,
several others are taking an active part
in the campaign in different parts of the
state. Many not so capable as public
speakers, are doing helpful work in assist
ing in the minor details incident to con
ducting a vigorous compaign.
Young Orators Plentiful.
Secretary McArthur reports that the
services of the younger element in the
pr.rty never before were more plentiful,
while the introduction of new blood into
the speechmaking programme is appre
ciated by the voters.
Since the campaign opened Secretary
McArthur has received more than a score
of invitations urging him to visit differ
ent parts of the state and make addresses.
The energetic young secretary would glad
ly comply with these requests so far as
the time would permit but he finds that
the duties of secretary during the vigor
ous campaign that is being conducted oc
cupy his time fully and preclude the
possibility of his leaving his post of duty,
where he is convinced he can perform
equally as effective service for the party.
Owing to the Inability of Secretary Mc
Arthur to Eecure a suitable hall for next
Tuesday night, the engagement of Con
gressman W. B. Humphrey, of Washing
ton, for tills city on that date may have
to be cancelled. In that event the Wash
ington man will deliver an address on that
evening either at Eugene or Medford.
Meetings In Eastern Oregon.
H. M. Cake, brother of State Chairman
Cake, who proffered ills services to the
State Committee following his return from
the Orient several weeks ago, will ad
dress a meeting at Drain next Saturday
night. Other appointments are being ar
ranged for Mr. Cake during the conclud
ing week of the campaign.
In Eastern Oregon the Republicans are
making extensive arrangements for the
meetings to be addressed by Judge H. E.
McGinn, of this city, during the last week
of the campaign. Judge McGinn will
speak at Baker City, La Grande and Pen
dleton. Secretary McArthur yesterday received
from F. H. Bartlett, secretary of the
Taft and Sherman Club at Hermiston,
the following report of the recent meeting
at that place, addressed by J. D. Lee,
Presidential elector:
"The city of Hermiston received Its first
sample of campaign oratory when Hon.
J. D. Lee addressed an audience of sev
eral hundred voters of this place and
vicinity. Mr. Lee spoke with great force.
enthusiasm and originality. tor two
hours the speaker held the attention of
the audience and was warmly applauded
for his able discussion of the issues in
the pending campaign. As Hermlston's
pioneer political orator, Mr. Lee was a
success and did much for the ultimate
triumph of the Republican party in this
new irrigation country."
Two Local Rallies.
Locally two important rallies are sched
uled for the week, both of which will be
addressed by Senator Fulton. The first
one will be held at Jones Hall. Front and
Gibbs streets. Thursday night under the
auspices of the South Portland Republican
Club. At this meeting Frank Hennessy
will sing and other musical talent has
been secured. Friday night Senator Ful
ton will speak at Strahlman's Hall, Sell
wood, East Thirteenth and Spokane ave
nue Monday night, October 28. Senator
Fulton will address the voters at Sunny
side. "Thirty Thousand for Taft" is the
prominent slogan printed on the postal
card invitations which have been issued
by the Union Republican Club for its
monthly smoker to be held in the Selling
Hlrsch building. Saturday night. October

Backache- is an early warning. Head

of kidney ills.

DEMOCRATS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Fail to Secure Speakers of National
Reputation for Local Rallies.
Disappointment following disappoint
ment has rolled in upon Democratic
headquarters In this city during the
last few days, concerning the availabil
ity of speakers of National reputation
who might close the campaign here
with a grand hurrah. Following the
announcement Monday that Governor
Sanders, of Louisiana, would reach
Portland yesterday to spend several
days and possibly deliver addresses. Na
tional Committeeman Miller yesterday
received another telegram informing
him that the Southern Governor had
cancelled his Portland appointment and
would not visit this state.
This disappointment was the more
keen from the fact that only a day or
two before word was received at the
same headquarters that Congressman
Champ .Clark, of Missouri, would be
unable to visit Oregon. The fond hope
of the Democrats that John Worth Kern,
the nominee for Vice-President, might
be sent to Oregon by the National
Committee, was abandoned some time
ago, when information was received
that the services of Mr. Kern and the
other party leaders and orators could
more profitably be employed in the
doubtful states of the Middle West.
It now begins to look as though the
Democrats, ir. concluding the campaign
with a big rally at the Armory, as it is
proposed, if that building can be se
cured, will be compelled to rely on local
talent. These numerous disappoint
ments as to notable speakers, however,
has not dissipated the activity of State
Chairman Sweek, or County Chairman
Thomas, both of whom are arranging
for various rallies in Multnomah
County and throughout the state, for
the remainder of this week and next
week.
State Senator O. P. Coshow, of Rose
burg, .one of the party's Presidential
Electors, was in Portland for a few
hours yesterday on his way to Eastern
Oregon, where he will spend the next
10 days in advocating the election of
Bryan and Kern. He reported that
general apathy existed among both the
Republican and the Democratic organ
izations of Douglas County, but said the
Republicans, if anything, were less ac
tive than their political opponents. Be
cause of those conditions, the Senator
said the Republicans did not expect to
carry the county by more than 200.
County Chairman Thomas has ar
ranged for three rallies this week, as
follows: Wednesday night, at Fox's
Hall, Troutdale; speakers, John H.
Stevenson and Bert E. Haney. Thurs
day night, Bickner's Hall, St. John;
speakers, Judge Thomas O'Day and
John A. Jeffrey. Friday night, Fire
Hall, Milwaukie street, Midway; speak
ers, John Manning and some other
Democrat yet to be selected.
BRYAN MONEY ' SOON TAKEN
Rainier Democrat Willi $1000
Promptly Finds Wager Covered.
Word was telephoned to Republican
headquarters yesterday that a resident
of Rainier had $1000 he desired to
wager that Bryan would carry Oregon.
The message had no sooner been an
nounced than one Republican, who
chanced to be In the office of Secretary
McArthur, and who was looking for
Just such a snap, grabbed the instru

latter wished to post $1000 or any part
that Taft would not carry Oregon by
20,000, or that the Republican nominee
would not have 1.000,000 plurality In
the popular vote over Bryan. The anx
ious Republican promptly assured the
man looking for a bet that he would
cover the wager on the latter stipula
tion and would be willing to place more
money on the same terms.

PROTEST BY BANK
Receiver of Title Company Ob
jects to Assessment.
OTHERS APPEAL TO BOARD
Western Union and Mount Hood
Railroad Among Companies That
Want Sigler's Figures Can
celed or Greatly Reduced.
Although R. S. Howard, receiver of
the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust
Company, has filed with the County
Board of Equalization a letter in which
he objects to the asesment of the bank's
merchandise and stock in trade at
$62,500. and Its furniture at $i"00, it
seems probable that the bank will be
obliged to paj- the tax. The receiver
Informed Assessor Sigler, in his com
munication, that as the bank's prop
erty Is in the hands of a receiver ap
pointed by the Federal Court, it is
exempt from taxation.
It appaears that there is no Oregon
state law as to whether or not a de
funct Institution is liable for taxation,
but the weight of authorities on the
subject is said to be to the effect that
the claim against the defunct corpora
tion or firm for taxes takes precedence
over the claims of creditors, even
though the state's claim is made after
the claims of creditors have been
passed upon by the court.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has protested this year, as It did
last, against the payment of the tax.
upon its franchise. Assesor Sigler
placed the same valae upon it this
year that he did in 1907, namely $15,000.
j. F. Rawie, local manager of the com
pany, filed with the equalization boa:d
a sworn statement in which he says
that the corporation secured from the
Government in 1886 its right to do busi
ness in Oregon, and that although It
also holds a franchise from the city,
the streets are only "post roads." It
is contended that to assess the fran
chise given by the city is double tax
ation. Charles E. Hill stated yesterday that
although his automobile was assessed
at $1000, he sold it for $150, and it
cost him $425. He asks that the as
sesment be reduced accordingly.
Marx & Bloch want an assessment
of $45,000 reduced to $15,900. It is
their contention that their merchandise,
assessed at $35,000 is worth only $14.
000, and that money, notes and accounts
assesed at $10,000 are worth but $1900.
The proprietors of the Barr Hotel, of
North Portland, which was recently de
stroyed by a fire which swept that por
tion of the city, ask that an assessment
of $15,300 be cancelled because of tho
destruction of the building. At the
time the assessment was made the
structure was still standing, so that it
is probable the owners of the property
will be obliged to pay a tax upon it.
. The locomotive of the Mount Hood
Railway & Power Company was not
purchased until after -March 1, the
time for assessments, according to the
company's protest filed yesterday. It
is also asserted that 47 horses are as
sessed to the company, while they be
long to a contractor. The company
asks that the assessment of $16,300 be
reduced to $4000.
The John Deere Plow Company wants
an assessment of $26,000 reduced to
$11,000. The latter is the value placed
upon the money, notes and accounts,
to which the company does not object.
The $15,000 valuation placed upon its
merchandise, however, is said to have
been included In another item.
The- J. I. Case Threshing Company
also objects to its assessment. Tho
firm asks that it be reduced from $70,
000 to $15,000. The $30,000 valuation,
placed upon merchandise is twice what
It should be, it is contended. It is also
asserted that the monej-, notes and ac

the accounts have been transmitted to
the firm's Eastern office. Only a

PORTLAND TESTIMONY.
Mrs. A. S. Cummlngs. living at 244
Clackamas S.. Portland, Or., says:
"I am always pleased to say a good
word in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills
and am glad to confirm the statement
I gave in favor of this excellent
remedy some years ago after it had re
lieved me of a bad case of kidney
trouble. This complaint had clung to
me for a long time and often the at
tacks of pain in my back were so acute
as to be almost unbearable. There was
also a dull, heavy aching in the region
of my kidneys and, although I was con
stantly using remedies I continued to
suffer. The irregular action of the
kidney secretions showed that my mis
ery all arose from my kidneys, and
when Doan's Kidney Pills were recom
mended to me I procured them from the
Lane-Davis Drug Co. They not only

CLERGYMAN MAY LOSE LEG
Rev. A. S. Lawler, Injured July 4,
Still in Hospital.
Rev. A. S. Lawler, superior of the
Dominican branch of the Roman Catho
lic priesthood in this city, who met
with a painful accident on July 4 last,
during the dedication of the Catholic
orphanage at Oswego, is still confined
in St. Vincent's Hospital. Both bones
of his left leg were fractured near the
knee. In ordinary cases of this char
acter recovery is experienced within
eight w-eks after the fracture.
In the case of Rev. Mr. Lawler the
injured member was placed in a plaster
cast and treated with the most scienti
fic methods but the fractured bones
have so far failed to unite. The priest is
unable to get out of bed and faces the
possibility that his leg may have to be
amputated.
