Butler Predicts Republican
Margin of 25,000.
HAS-HELD MANY RALLIES
Candidate for Presidential Elector
finds No Evidence of Apathy
In Southern and Western
Parts of State.
After speaking ' for two weeks to In
terested audiences throughout Southern
Oregon and the Willamette Valley. R. R.
Butler, nominee on the Republican .ticket
for Presidential elector, returned to Port
land yesterday feeling confident that the
voters of the state will give Taft and
Sherman a plurality of at least 23,000.
HavUig come In tersonal contact with the
electors of the southern and western sec
tions of the state.. Mr. Butler declares
that his observations fully warrant hlra In
predicting a plurality for the Republican
ticket 5000 In excess of the claim of the
members of the State Central Committee,
based on estimates received earlier In
the campaign.
' "General interest In the Presidential
election has been manifested by the voters
In every section I have visited during
the last two weeks." said Mr. Butler at
the Imperial yesterday. "Whlle.lt Is true
none of the political meetings in Oregon
this year are being marked by any great
degree of enthusiasm, yet the voters are
coming out In large numbers to hear the
political Issues discussed. There Is every
Indication that the voters are thinking
and the majority already have made up
their minds how they shall vote next
week. .
"Reports that the Republicans of tlie
state are apathetic are entirely unfound
ed. I have yet to find a community
where the members of the majority party
are Indifferent. At the beginning of the
campaign the Interest probably was not
as apparent as it is now but the voters
rery generally have become aroused to
the Importance the pending election bears
to this state and Its Interests. For that
reason, they will be found voting right.
I am convinced that Oregon will give
Taft not less than 25.000 plurality."
On his tour of Willamette Valley points
last week, Mr. Butler was accompanied
by Henry M. McKinney, representative
elect from Baker County. Although this
Is Mr. McKlnney'a first experience as a
public speaker, he has made good and
with his colleague. Mr. Butler, has been
doing some of the most off ective . work of
the campaign.
Tonight Messrs. Butler and McKinney
will -address the voters of Forest Grove.
Tomorrow Mr.. Butler leaves for The
Dalles and other Eastern Oregon points
where he will spend the concluding week
of the campaign. Mr. McKinney goes to
Lane County where arrangements have
been made for meetings to be addressed
by him every night this week. .

M. E. Church South - Closes
Columbia Conference.
APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE
Bishop Atkins ' Delivers Address at
Final Meeting, Praising Frater
nal Spirit Among Churches
of Portland.
I
The Columbia Conference of the Metho
dist Church South, which has been- in
session in the Grand-Avenue United Pres
byterian Church since Thursday, closed
last night with a sermon by Rev. W. E.
Vaughan, of San Francisco, an address
by Bishop James Atkins and the reading
of the appointments for the coming year.
(Bishop Atkins declared that he had never
visited a place where there was so much
fraternal spirit among the Protestant
churches as he had found In Portland.
He also reviewed the work of the Metho
dist Church South, setting forth that In
the Southland the work among the
negroes and ex-slaveholders had been a
great burden, but It was a burden the
church has carried successfully. The
bishop further said that the Southern
Methodist Church contained 1.700,000 mem
bers, the flower of the land, and hoped to
extend its work more generally on the
great Pacific Coast.
In the appointments made, the an
nouncement that Rev. E. Si. Mowre was
returned to Portland was received with
satisfaction by the large audience. He
will, therefore, bring to completion the
great stone church started two years ago.
Rev. C. L. McCausland, formerly presid
ing elder, goes to Seattle, where a work
of Importance la under way. Rev. B. 8.

Engineer Suggests Improvements to
Present Structure.
Engineer W. A. Grondahl has a plan to
solve the problem of erecting bridges
across the Willamette River that would
not be obstructions to navigation. He
said: "Now It is probable that the Steel
bridge will have to be rebuilt anyway,
and while I have not prepared sketches
or made an estimate, I think that a double-deck
structure could be built for 1500,
000. or a trifle more. I would suggest
building it some higher and maintaining
the draw at the present location. Under
my idea the lower draw only would"Ve
opened for most of the time for the pas
sage of smaller craft, no wise interfer
ing with traffic on the upper deck. Irri
tating delays by opening draws would be
largely eliminated. In case of larger ves
sels with all masts or smokestacks, it
would be essential to open the upper draw
as well.
The same power and mechanical ad
justment would operate both draws. Sup
pose the cost was 1500,000. This sum, di
vided between the O. R. & N. Company,
the Portland Railway. LU?ht & Power
Company and the taxpayers of Multno
mah County, would not be onerous. I
would suggest a bridge 60 feet wide, ten
foot sidewalks. 20 feet for vehicles and
20 feet for streetcars. The present draw
piers would not have to be rebuilt, but
could be built higher. 'This would effect
a considerable saving. With such a bridge
traffic could be cared for, It seems to me.
for years to come, and a great saving
would be effected." i
