XINN SOLIDLY REPUBLICAN
Democratic Stronghold Swings Into
Taft Column by 285..
ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.)
Linn County, which Bryan carried in
196 and 1900. has given Taft a plur
ality of 383 votes. Complete unofficial
returns from every precinct in tha
county give Taft 2202. Bryan 1817.

ing about 300 .below that cast In the
June election.
The question of establishing a county
high school In Linn County, or rather
to create a county high school fund on
the Lane County plan, has carried by
about 225.
Yesterday's election was the quietest
ever held here. Because of the provis
ions of the- Huntley bill, and Incidental
ly because neither party had any cam
paign fund In Its exchequer, no effort
was made to get voters to the polla and
no poll worker were In evidence.
GOVERNOR IS NOT SURPRISED
Farmers Satisfied With Prosperity,
Hence Big Republican Vote.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.) "I
was not much surprised at the result
of the election." said (.Governor Cham
berlain today In speaking of the Re
publican victory at the polls yesterday.
"An Inspection of the returns will
show, I think, that the laboring people
of the country pretty generally voted
their own party tickets and did not
follow the advice of a labor leader. It
baa been my observation that no man
can control or deliver the labor vote,
and this election Indicates that such is
the case. If the balance of power lies
with any class of men. it lies with
the farmers. The farmers of the coun
try are prosperous and are therefore
contented to let the administration of
frovernmental affairs remain in Repub
lican control."

CHINA FEELS HUMILIATED

of Fleet.
PEKING. Nov. 4. The Foreign Board
has sen its thanks to Admiral Emory,
the commander of the American fleet
at Amoy. for -his congratulations upon
the anniversary of the fcirth of the
Dowager Empress.
The foreign press of China makes fa
vorable comment on the visit of the
American battleships, but the central
government and the Chinese people, so
far as the latter are informed, are hu
miliated over the fact that only half
the fleet under Admiral Sperry came to
China.
The presence of the American shops
at Amoy has again directed attention
to the decline 01 American trade in
China. Ther are today only two Amer
ican traders north of Shanghai.

UNIONS CLASH
iMiTu-nimiiiii
Salem Printers Demand Use
of Label on State
Printing.
REFUSES AN . AGREEMENT
Duniway Says He Is Running Office
In Interest of People and That
It Shall Not Be Closed
Against Any Workmen.
SALEM, Or., Nov- 4. (Special.) Re
fusal of State Printer W. S. Duniway
to sign an agreement to employ none
but union printers in his shop has re
sulted in the taking away of the union
label and there is prospect of a conflict
between Duniway and the local typo
graphical union about the time the
next Legislature meets. Duniway haa
Brmly declared his intention to main
tain an "open shop." and the leaders
of the local union have Just as firmly
declared their Intention to make him
yield. The trouble has been brewing
for several weeks but has been kept
quiet until the last few days, when the
publication of biennial reports began.
The absence of the union label brought
the trouble to public attention and
precipitated the discussion which gave
the public the facts.
It seems that State Printer Duniway
employs none but union printers and
pays more than the union scale of
wages, but has not signed an agree
ment not to employ non-union men.
Under the regulations of the union he
Is not allowed to use the label unless
he signs such an agreement. Recently
r. committee from the local union
called upon him with a copy of the
usual agreement and asked him to
sign. He refused. He was told that
If he did not sign the label would be
taken away from him.
Duniway Stands Firm.
What took place then Is a matter of
hearsay, as only the members of the
committee and Mr. Duniway were pres
ent, but it is said that Duniway did
some pretty forceful talking. "I was
elected to this office by the people of
the State of Oregon; not by any union,"
ne is reported to have said. "I shall
run this office according to the laws of
the State of Oregon, whether in har
mony with union regulations or not.
This office is maintained by all the
people of the state and I shall not sign
any agreement that bars any citizen of
the state from finding employment
here.
'I have always been a union man and
held the highest offices In the typographi
cal union in this state. When I ran a
private printing office it was a union
office but this is a state office and its
doors shall not be closed against any
wprkman because he does not belong to
a union."
This occurred in Dunlway's private
office. It is said that the committee
then repaired to the composing-room and
that Duniway followed them out. "If
there Is any man working in this ofnoe
who is dissatisfied with the scale of
wages or with the hours of labor or with
any of the conditions of work, I'll be
glad to hear from him," Duniway con
tinued, addressing the committee but
loud enough so everybody In the room
could hear. "You fellows who come here
with this agreement for me to sign don't
work for me. You work down town for
less wages than I pay. You have no com
plaint against the way this office is run,
but ask me to say that a certain class
of citizens shall not be employed In a
state shop. I'll not do It"
State Officials Urge Label's Use.
When the publication of biennial reports
began, some of the state officers asked
that the union label be placed on the title
pages. The concerted action along this
line indicates that the members' of the
union had been doing some missionary
work. Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff
wrote Duniway a formal letter asking
that the union label be put upon his re
port. To this Duniway replied that he
had no objections whatever to the placing
of the label upon the report that he saw
no good reason why it should not be
there. "The work on the report Is done
by union men and I pay them 20 to 40 per
cent more than the union scale. But
the union label is in the possession of the
workmen and not In the control of the
employer. I have no doubt that if you
apply to the members of the union who
have the label they will grant your re
ouest." While this Is not the exact lan
guage of Dunlway's reply It Is what com
mon report says was in nls letter.
Practically all the state officers nave
placed themselves square with the
union by demanding the union faoei.
nd now the fight centers upon uunt-
way. What the next move win oe is
ow under discussion. 1 ne meetings
of the union are secret, so it Is not deft-
Itely known what action has been
taken, but It Is said a stormy session
was held about a week ago. There
re two courses open to the union to
declare the office a "rat" office when
the rush of legislative work begins In
December, or to wait until Duniway
comes up for re-election and then ar
ray all union men against him
Office Not State Property.
The members of the union, or at least
those who opposed Duniway, take the
ositlon that, though he Is state
Printer, his printing office is not a state
office, since he owns the plant and Is
paid by measure, while he employs the
printers and pays them out of his own .
pocket.
COSGROVE IS LEADING TAFT
Gets Surprisingly Large Vote in
Cliehalis County.
ABERDEEN. Wash, Nov. 4. (Spe
cial.) Indications are that the entire
Republican ticket in Chehalis County
has been elected by good majorities
and that the Democrats, Socialists and
Prohibitionists did not make anywhere
near the showing that was anticipated.
60 far as Is now known, but one pre
cinct. Ocosta. went Democratic Out
of the 1900 voters registered In Aber
deen, but 1107 were cast for the Beputr
ltcan Presidential electors and 337 for
the Democratio electors, showing a
falling off in the number of voters reg
istered and the vote cast of between
400 and 600.
The Republican vote so far recorded
shows that Lewis ran far ahead of his
ticket. Chehalis County will give a
majority for Taft of at least 2200 and
a majority for Cosgrove of about 2600,
the Republican candidate for Governor
running ahead of the National ticket
in nearly every precinct of the county.
Returns from 18 precincts through
out the county, including Aberdeen,
Hoquiam, Montesano and Cosmopolis,
give Taft a total of 2494. as against
907 for Bryan. The Taft majority in
Hoquiam is 523. in Montesano 197.
These same 18 precincts give Cosgrove
2419. a maojrity over Pattison of 1614.

INDEPENDENCE WET TOWN
Charter Gives City Privilege of
Granting Saloon License.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.)
Though unmentioned in the recent Su
preme Court decision governing the
sale of liquor in the city of Medford,
and but little Known among the people
of Independence, the charter of that
town brings the city under the Supreme
Court opinion with the cities of Med
ford, Condon and Estacada. The Inde
pendence charter was granted in 1905.
and varies from the other charters in
the clause granting the privilege of li
censing saloons, only In the fact that
it Is more explicit and specifically stip
ulated that all acts or statutes in con
flict with this provision of the charter
are repealed. An attempt will be made
to secure a license under this charter
for a saloon in Independence. The
town is now "dry."
S. S. S. is the best treatment for Catarrh because it is a perfect blood
purifier. It is the only medicine that is able to get down into the circula
tion and entirely remove the catarrhal matter and impurities which produce
the trouble. As long as the mucous membranes and tissues are kept inflamed
and irritated by this impure and infected condition of the blood Catarrh will
remain. Its disagreeable and dangerous symptoms, of ringing noises in the
ears, mucus dropping back into the throat, headaches, watery eyes, difficult
breathing, and even stomach disorders and weakened health, cannot be perma
nently relieved until the blood i3 purified. Nothing equals & S. S. for this
Purpose. It goes down to the very root of the trouble, and removes every
particle of the catarrhal matter from the blood and enriches this vital fluid SO
that all the mucou3 surfaces are supplied with nutritive, healthful qualities, in
stead of being constantly irritated and inflamed by impurities in the circula
tion. Then the symptoms begin to pass away and when S. S. S. has entirely
purified the blood, Catarrh is permanently cured and the general health
greatly built up. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice desired sent free
to all who write.! , , , .
