President Sullivan said that the most serious mistake made by the British com mittee was In accepting the entry of Tom longboat, who was known to be a profes sional. He declared that the acceptance v( longboat's entry over the American protest was a direct Insult to the Ameri can organisation. Major John W. Dixon was re-elected ecretary-trcasurer and the following were chosen as vice-presidents: E. C "Hrown. of Oiicago: W. M. Inglis. of Seattle; H. O. Pennlman, of Baltimore, and A. J. I.lll. of Boston. ON A "RAW RESOLUTION" An Argument by a Rourne Follower for Statement One. PORTLAND. Nov. 17.-(To the Filitor.) A and B are candidates for a primary nomination. Bach promises unreservedly In public addresses to support his oppo nent If victorious in the primary election. B Is nominated. A himself carries out his ante-primary promises and supports the nominee: but thousands of A's followers or partisans, for revenge possibly, vote in the general election for C. .he com mon political enemy of A and B. C re ceives the majority of votes, declaring him the popular choice for I'nlted States Senator. An evident majority of mem bers of the elected legislature are pledged by this popular vote and their o n deliberate promise, by reason of which promise these legislators were elected, to " vote always for the candidate receiving the highest vote for Ignited States Svnator." Every legislator who signed ""Statement Number One'- made that statement his platform. Every man of them knows he was elected for no other reason but his signature of that statement, and doubt less many of them would have gladly re frained from signing It If they could have been elected otherwise: sy. and some who were defeated as legislative candidates would have signed the statement, too, had they known that by so doing they would have won. The majority vote given to Governor Chamberlain was directly the result of thousands of Republican voters sup porting him. Possibly they voted for the Governor because they believe him best qualified for the office of Senator. Republicans of that belief are not the rnen who are now Imploring clubs to pass resolution of the kind referred to la San- day'a Oregonian presumably to Influence the probable action of the executive board of the Union Republican Club. The effort to compel these pledged legislators to violate their promise comes then from the men who voted for Governor Chamberlain rather than support the Republican nominee. It is evident that many Republican voters had this purpose in mind when they cast their ballots for a -emocrat. believing- that by the sophistry of "Ore-g-on's need of appropriations," etc.. elected legislators might be found weak enough to renounce their pledges and for party's sake do a thing that in private affairs they would loathe themselves for even considering. For refusing to act with a caucus In a senatorial battle ten years ago, two men from this county were re peatedly proclaimed to be "stinkards." What term can an Indignant press dis cover to fit the perfidy of men whose only chance of election was their ad herence to Statement No. 1. and who would refuse to abide the result? The press In days to come will Join with the public In holding up to political contempt every man who dares do this thing. It Is somewhat unusual for the pro ceedings of a meeting held privately to be announced In a newspaper sev eral days before the meeting itself Is held. There would seem to be an over-communicative brother In the council of the Union Club. He tells more than he knows. The question tabled at a recent meeting was not. who Is for Chamberlain, or who for a Republican, but, stripped of Its cir cumlocution, a proposition to urge our legislators to violate their freely given promise to vote always for the people's choice for Senator. If such a proposition is apt and proper for any man or any body of men. It Is most appropriate for those who voted. being Republicans, or claiming to be. for Governor Chamber lain. Surely those are the men who are "for Chamberlain." Judge McDe vitt. C. M. Idleman and the others spoken of by our leaky hot-air tank as being "for Chamberlain." voted for Republican candidates In the primary and general election, and while they regret the nomination of a Democrat, they will not be made the catspaws to rake chestnuts out of the fire for the men to whom Chamberlain's nomina tion Is entirely due. JOHN GILL. E INTEREST IN BENEFIT EASTERN' PAPERS COMMENT ON" ROSE EYTINGE TESTIMONIAL. Local Theaters Will Be Represented on Programme, Which Gives Promise of Exceptional Merit. The Rose Eytinge testimonial, which Is to occur Thursday afternoon at the Heillg. Is attracting more than local attention, as Is evidenced by the news paper comments that have been re ceived here from the press of New York. Boston. Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. From a dozen sources inquiries have been received which demonstrate that the event is one of more than usual prominence. Although she has participated in dozens of similar affairs for her fel low players. "Lady Rose" has never consented to anything of the kind for herself. In fact, it was originally over her protest that Mrs. Mina Crollus Gleason took the matter In hand" and Interested local society and theatrical people to tender the great actress a birthdav party which was to take tne form of a testimonial performance. The hearty co-operation of the local theat rical profession and tho substantial encouragement offered from all sides justifies the confidence Miss Eytlnges friends have had In Portland's loyalty to one of America's most distinguished dramatic artists. Of course this inter est Is keener because of the fact that she has made her home in this city for a number of years and has a very large personal acquaintance. Committees of ticket-sellers are canvassing the city and report that the demand for tickets Is so brisk that they are having difficulty In supplying the demand. Mrs. Gleason herself, un der whose direction the testimonial Is being conducted, made an automobile tour of the residence district yester day and sold more than 100 tickets. Other ticket-sellers report satisfactory sales. William Gleason. who will act as stage director of the performance, has called a dress rehearsal for Thurs day morning and Is working hard on the details. The programme, as per fected, will undoubtedly be the best vaudeville offering ever seen on any occasion In Portland. The acts are largely contributed by the various managers, but a number of prominent amateurs will also appear. The bill as perfected consists of the Four Musical McLarens, whose enter taining musical act Is one of the hits at the Grand this week, who will ap pear by permission of Manager Errick son: Mlna Crollus Gleason, courtesy of Manager Baker, will give a delightful monologue. "Her Letters"; Miss Mar guerite Egbert, one of Portland's most talented amateur readers, will give some character readings, and Elsie Garrett, the brilliant young , soprano, will sing several selections from "Car men"; a new comedy sketch by Will M. Cressy, the foremost writer of vaudeville playlets In the country, called "Mrs. Goddard of Tpsllantl," will be Introduced for the first time by Miss Luciir Webster. William L. Glea son and James Gleason. This is said to be one of Cressy's funniest sketches. Charming Augusta Giose. whose "plan ologue" Is the delight of all who have seen her at the Orpheum this week. will appear fey permission of Manager Sutton, being assisted by Miss Anne Ditchburn, who Is a great musical and social favorite here. Charles Couture, the brilliant tenor, will render a num ber of selections from "II Pagliaecl," assisted by Carl Constance Sharpe. Izetta Jewel and Sidney Ayres, leading woman and man of the Baker stock company, will do the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet." through the courtesy of Manager Baker; Mabel Se lover will offer some ballads, accom panied by Carl Denton; Genevieve Thompson's new song. "Swastika Sue." will be put on with special costumes and scenic effects by Marlbel Seymour, assisted by Messrs. Woodruff. Lynch, Rentfort. Wilson. Wolbert. Bradbury.

STATE'S INTEREST FIRST Vote to Speaker Will Go to Man Who Can Best Serve Oregon De clares Protective Principle Should Guide Revision. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 17. Special.) "There are ti.UUO.OOO farmer votes In the I'nlted States and fully three-fourths of them weit to Taft. That accounts in a large measure for the landslide for the Republican ticket." "This is the opinion expressed by Congressman Hawley, who returned to day from the East, where he spent a month compalgning in Indiana. Iowa. Ne braska, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New Jer sey. 'The cities in which I spoke wer us ually cities backed by a large agricultural 1 community, and it was evident that the prosperous conditions now prevailing among the farmers appealed strongly to business men as well. M i ncrs for Ta ft, Too. "But I was very agreeably surprised to observe the sentiment In favor of Taft even in the mining towns where it had been asserted labor was against him. I spoke in one coal mining town in Penn sylvania where it was said a political meeting had never been held that did not break up in a row. The men listened to a full presen tat ion of Taf t's record on the rights of laboring men and labor unions, and when I closed upon that sub ject they applauded heartily. "I went East to take part in the cam paign because work seemed to be needed there and it was evident that Oregon was entirely safe for Taft. My desire was to render such aid as would cause the party to feel friendly toward Oregon and its leaders to feel friendly toward Oregon and Its needs. From the very complimentary comment in the newspapers and the ex pressions I have received from Congress men from the National Congressional committee, there is reason to believe my mfsslon was not in vain." Must Ite4ain Protective Principle. TVhen asked for his views upon the subject of tariff revision, Mr. Hawley said that he believes every tariff rate should be taken up and considered in its relation to present industrial and commercial conditions and changed or left alone, as conditions may require. "I favor such a readjustment as will make the tariff schedules and rates cor respond to the needs of industrial and commercial conditions of the present time, but the protective principle should be retained." Congressman Hawley Paid there is nothing new to report at thfs time re garding river and harbor improvements. He arranged early in the Summer to have commercial bodies in Portland and the Willamette Valley furnish him with Information regarding freight traffic which shows the need of Government ownership of the Oregon City locks. This information he will lay before the rivers and harbors committee. State's Interests Rules View. "I have not decided whom I shall sup port for Speaker of the House." said Hawley. In answer to a question; "I shall act in accordance with what seems to be the best Interests of my district and state." Recently one of the Clackamas County Granges addressed a letter to Mr. Haw ley, asking how he stood on Statement No. 1. He Bays he will answer the let ter when he gets to It In his pile of correspondence, but will not discuss the matter now. It is probable he will reply, as he has to many other inquiries, that he was elected to represent his district In Congress and that election of a Sena tor is not part of his duties. Mr. Hawley will leave for Washington December 27. , PLACING FOREIGN CAPITAL European Bankers Behind Subway Project In Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 17. (Spe cial.)
