13 THE MORXIXG OREGOMAN, MONDAY, JULY o, 1909 CANDIDATES GET E EARLY GAM Aspirants Are Carefully Lay ing Wires for Nominations for State Offices. HARD FIGHTS PROMISED Several While for Anxious to Go to Congress, Large Fields Are Out Governor and Other Political Posts. Miiro depressing midsummer weather than Is experienced In Oregon will be re quired to wilt the asplrationa of the many candidates for state offices who are fair ly running over each other In their de sires to serve the commonwealth. Al ! though it is a Ions 12 monfhs' yet until the nominations wil be made, numerous of the anxious ones already are at work actively organizing their candidacy for the preliminary nominating contest which precedes th. next general election in No vember. 1910. Kven thus enrly lively contests for the ' offtce of Congressman in the two Con- prressional districts are promised. Con srressman Haw-ley. who ia completing his second term as Representative from the , Kirst District, will ask for re-election for : Just one more term. This would keep him ! t Washington until 1P13. when Senator Rourne's term expires. There is more th.m a rumor to the effect that Hawley will be a candidate to succeed Bourne. Xo Walkover for Hawley. But Hawley will not have any walk over in his candidacy for another term as Congressman. He will be opposed for this nomination by at least two other candi dates. One of these is B. F. Mulkey. of Jacksonville. Mr. Mulkey is a former m.-mber of the Oregon Legislature from Polk County, and at the present timo Is drawing a salary of $2.VK per annum as Prosecuting Attorney for the First Proscrutmg District. V. K. Newell, of "Washington County, also would like to succeed Hawley at Washington. Mr. Newell has twice served as a member of the Oregon Legislature. He is president of the State Board of Horticulture and has a large acquaintance throughout Western Oregon. In the S.HHU1U District. Congressman Ellis, although "shorn of his locks." be lieves he still retains his political strength and will seek to succeed himself. Op posed to him will be C. N. He-Arthur, pri vate secretary to Governor Benson; J. N. Hart, Stat'e Senator from Baker County, and others. Just who the "others" will be necessarily Is an unknown quantity at this stage of the game, but it Is strong ly suspected that George S. Shepherd, of this city, recognizing that persistency has merit, may make another atempt to land this nomination. It also has been Inti mated that the cards may so shape them selves that Wallace McCamant, a Simon partisan, my become; formidble candi date tor Ellis' seat. Benson Still on Fence. Although Governor Benson has not de cided whether he will be a candidate for Governor or for Secretary of State In next year s political game, candidates for each of these two offices, through their friends, already are getting busy. Among the men who have been prominently sug gested In connection with the Governor ship are State Superintendent Ackerman, Dr. Andrew C. Smith, Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey, State Senator Bowerman, Attorney-General Crawford, Grant B. Dimick, George J. Cameron, George F. Rodgers, B. Hofer and Dr. J. W 1 th y com be. Important as relating to the Guberna torlal situation is the fact that Bailey's friends have received assurances from Bowerman that the latter will not be a candidate for Governor at the 1910 elec tion. Bowerman was president of the Senate at the last session of the State ' legislature and Is one of the most prom inent politicians among the young men . In the state. After having served at the head of the educational system of the state for 12 years. State Superintendent Ackerman, according to report, will go . after the Gubernatorial nomination. Dr. Smith, of this city, through his friends is getting busy early in the game. Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey during his long service In his present office has not overlooked the construction of Guberna torial fences and Is known to have a surprtslng following among the farmers throughout the state. There are conflicting reports as to just what Attorney-General Crawford wants. "While he aspires to the Governorship, he Is proceeding cautiously. In other words, he proposes to hold onto his present Job and the chance of a renomlnatlon until he can satisfy himself that he will have smooth sailing Into the Governor's chair. County Judge Dimick. of Clackamas County, is not overlooking any oppor tunity to advertise his candidacy. Dimick is the only one of the many aspirants for the Governorship who has formally an nounced himself. District Attorney Cam eron is reported to feel so confident of landing this nomination that he has placed a small wager that he will win. Mayor Rodgers Is said to have his eyes ; first on the Governorship. If he finds it Impossible to land that Job he -will be . satisfied to get Secretary of State. Hofer Would lie Treasurer. , Colonel Hofer has denied that he wants ' to be Governor at this time, but there Is a strong suspicion that he would like to succeed George A. Steel In handling the state s finances. There Is some talk at Salem about urging Circuit Judge Burnett to go after the nomination for Governor state senator ivay probably -will be a , candidate for State Treasurer, although the Incumbent, Mr. Steel, Is expected to ask for another term. In addition to Mayor Rodgers. of Salem, as possible candidate for Secretary of State, three State Senators are known to have their eyes on this nomination. They are: Coffey of Multnomah. Miller of Linn and Lane and Bingham of Lane. Oswald West tindoubtedly will ask for another term as Railroad Commissioner and State Printer Dunlway will ask to retain that office for another four years on the economical record he has made during his first term. With State Superintendent Ackerman no longer a candidate for that office, a spir ited contest among prominent educators of the state Is promised for this nomina tion. Already there are three candidates for this office, as follows: L. R. Alder man, of the university of Oregon facultv "K. D. Ressler, late of the Monmouth State Normal School, and now a member of the . State Agricultural College faculty at Cor- vallls. and R. F. Robinson. County Super intendent of Multnomah bounty. the oldest a boy of 10 and the youngest 18 months. When I read our morning paper I cannot tell you how badly I felt about the reported attitude of our Mayor toward the parks. My mother heart yearns for healthful, simple pleasures for my children. We live In a small cottage in Lower Albina, and, since my husband Is em ployed along the waterfront, it seems necessary to remain here.' True, as our Mayor says, the" whole city is a park, but in front of our house are only a few feet of dusty grass, while our 20 by 25 feet back yard Is divided between the children and the clothes line. Children crave amusement, and a park would be a most precious boon. Instead of the merry-go-round there would be the swings; In place of the moving pictures there would be the beautiful clouds, the flight of birds, the bees, butterflies and many other things to see, as well as the nodding, smiling flowers. When there are band concerts 'the music Is of a high order. All these Influences assist In making better men and women. Is it not worth while? I hope we can have the Montgomery park. I have so little opportunity to take my children to one far away. Car fare Is quite an Item, and after cook ing, washing, ironing. baking and sewing are done i am very weary. I was so glad when I saw the pic ture of the children enjoying the park .blocks in North Portland. Please do not think me selfish, for I want other little children to be happy, too. In all parts of the city. The sim- FOURTH OF JULY SETS THEIR TEXT Three Pastors Choose Pa triotism as Theme for Holiday Sermons. LOVE OF COUNTRY URGED Dr. Foulkes Dwells on Cost of Na tional Pride Dr. Dyott Itefers to America's World Po sition as Strategic. Patriotism wa the general theme in the pulpits of Portland yesterday, the pastors of three churches being guided Black, the pastor, had selected the Fourth of July as the time to lay the corner stone of the splendid edifice, as the Catholic Church had ever been a .con servatory of true patriotism. He referred to the men .who had given their lives in defense of the country, and closed by Invoking divine blessings on the Church that witnessed the ceremony. J. P-. Kavanaugh followed In a forcible address, commending the energy of the rector. Father Black, In starting the erection of the nQw edifice. He said it was fitting to connect the cornerstone laying with the Fourth of July, for the church stood for true patriotism and had ever urged patriotism and love of liberty. The speaker declared that the Catholic Church asked for no special privileges or favors, and that the time had come when Protestant, Catholic and Jew could stand together for the common good in the United States. The exercises were attended by nearly 2000 people, the addresses commanding close attention. Rev. Father Black, the rector, was master of ceremonies. It is anticipated that the assembly hall in the basement of the new edifice will he ready by next Christmas. The base ment walls will be of reinforced concrete, while the church will be of frame con struction. The exterior will be composed of cement over metal laths, covered with marble dust. The first cost will be be tween $75,000 and J100.000, exclusive of decorations. Rev. Father Black in his recent trip to the Holy iand and Rome, gathered many points of church architecture and decora tions, which he intends to embody in the new structure. The copper box placed In the cornerstone contained many articles and p. P. Nelson assisted in the services. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Bishop Smith delivered the dedicatory sermon, which was full of force and appropriate to the occasion. Remarks were made by Rev. W. T. Kerr, Dr. Benjamin Young. Dr. J. H. Cudllpp and Rev. Harold Oberg. Last night & popular meeting was held In the new ' church. There was a musical programme, and addresses were delivered by E. M. Cederbergh. Norwegian Vlce CodsuI; H. J. Langoe, Rev. H. P. Nelson, Rev. Mr. Olson, Rev. Mr. Twede and others. The attractive church was erected ac cording to the plans drawn by Rev. Mr. Lareen, who is an architect as well as a iNorweglan-Danish preacher of consider able prominence. It was due to his en ergy and careful management that the new Albina church was completed. He has been on the Coast for 90 years, beginning- his work in Oakland; Cal. The new church is centrally located In a growing portion of the East Side. The basement and foundation are of concrete, forming a large Sunday-school room, while the su perstructure is of frame, well lighted and well ventilated. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. George I.

Vivid Description of Scenes In Pal estine Given at Hawthorne Presbyterian Church. Rev. B. Nelson Allen, pastor of the Haw. thorne-Park Presbyterian Church, East Twelfth and East Taylor streets, who has Just returned from a trip to the Holy Land, was greeted yesterday morning as he entered his pulpit with the Chautau qua salute by the congregation, the flut ter of handkerchiefs, lasting for several moments. There was a large congrega tion," every seat in the auditorium being occupied. The words of John Payne, remarked Mr. Allen, as he began his sermon on the topic, "Meditations on Mount Calvary." came to our hearts most forcibly as wo turned away from Damascus on our re turn home. Every pulsation of the loco motive and beat of the turbine sang tho story of 'Home, Sweet Home,' and then to be met at the depot by so many friends as we came to Portland made the return all the sweeter. And then the manse bore evidence of the touch of tender hands in many ways. I should be wanting In grat itude if I did not express the appreciation of the welcome we have received by this congregation." The sermon was an eloquent review of the Impressions received by Rev. Mr. Allen duoing his visit to the Holy Land which he said was a realization of tho dream of a lifetime. In the course of his sermon Rev. Mr. Allen gave a vivid pic ture of his first entrance to Jerusalem and his first Sunday spent on Mount Cal vary. He said he believed that the visit and study of conditions In Jerusalem had been helpful to him as a minister of the gospel. He had gathered renewed inspira tion, he said, from his visit to the places made sacred by the presence of Jesus so many centuries a;o. At the conclusion of the sermon Mrs. Fletcher Linn sang the "Holy City," and the services were concluded with com munlon. In the evening a patriotic serv ice was held. ' While traveling in the Holy Land, Rev. Mr. Allen was tendered the decree of Doctor of Divinity from Missouri "Valley College. Marshall, Mo. The formalities which usually accompany the degree, will take place at a future date. CHORUS' TRIP IS SETTLED THE MATTER OF PARKS One Mother, Who Poubtless Speaks the Mind of Many Another, I PORTLAND. July 4. (To the Editor.) i I am the mother of five children. by the Fourth of July In the selection of their texts. At the Taylor-street Methodist Church Dr. Benjamin Young preached on "Patriotism ;" at the First Presbyterian Church Dr. William Hi ram Foulkes dwelt on "The Cost of Patriotism," and the subject of the ser mon by Dr. Luther R. Dyott in the First Congregational Church was "Real Patriotism." Dr. Foulkes said In part: The center of the recent and widespread theological movement called Rltschlianism is its theory of value judgments. It does not matter so much, says this school, what a thins 1 1" itself; its Importance is meas ured by its worth to us. What Is the value of God, redemption and immortality to us? Without assenting to or dissenting from tl is school. I shall make free use of its central principle and apply It, not to a religious dogma, but to a civic and national reality patriotism. What Is the worth cf patriotism? That depends, though not al together, upon its price. There is, first, the hereditary price. The price our fore' hers paid for tlfeir inheri tance was in t . paid for us. They did not pay in the coins of today. We laugh at their crude ways and narrow lives, but they paid the price. All honor to these heroes of 78. " We are all. in a glorious sense, sons and daughters of the American Revolution. Rockefeller and Carnegie may endow li braries and colleges. They cannot endow patriotism. Every citizen must contribute his share of its price. We must rise above our own selfish ends and. like the sons of Erech, under Tzduban, their leader, "tread as if our souls to America's weal belonged." The patriot is not he who cries America for the Americans, or the world for Amer ica, but America .for the world. Patriotism Is being offered today In the heavenly marts. Will we pay the price? nave we the coin of the realm? As Chris tian citizens let us bring the raw material, your crude, but earnest purposes, and social activities to the heavenly mart and let the Image of a Christ large enough for a whole world be stamped upon It. Then patriotism tur: to toward earth wltb blessing shall ap pear divine on Its upper side, God's greatest earthly boon to men. Dr. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Con gregational Church, in his sermon on Real Patriotism," said In part: Real oatrlotlsm is not a theorv about na- trlotism. It is not a creature of the Imae- ition. It Is not merely fine sentiments and expressions of appreciation of what men have done in other days, w hen they found It - sweet ana glorious" to die lor their coun try. Real patriotism is one of the deepest affections of the soul, and he who does not love his own country better than any other is not fit to live in any country. In the modern life of the world the place of America Is strategic. In the hUtory of the world America has much that is to de termine the destiny of nations. In some re spects, patriotism Is more important here than anywhere else in the world. Dr. Benjamin Toung said the quality of character represented by a nation's citizenship constitutes itk real strength. and that 1776 and 1787 bear an important relation to 1909. He spoke of the light vote cast at the last election, remarking tnat rignt-minaea citizens cannot afford to bo indifferent to political affairs.

NEW CHURCH IS OPENED NORWEGIAN-DANISH EDIFICE COSTS $800 0. I HE SENT FOR HIS FRIEND LEE And Lee sat on his bed and told him all about it. We quote from a letter from Mr. J. T. Obenchain. a manufacturer of Logansport, Indiana: "I have been on your compound nearly four weeks. I first heard of It through Druggist H. C. Trltt, who referred me to D. E. Lee, of this city. Being acquainted with Lee, I sent for him and he came to see me before I took any of the medicine. Passing his place of business every day lor years, I was In the habit of look ing at him as nearly a dead man, but I did not know what ailed him. Not having seen him for months until he came Into my room, I was utterly sur prised to see a hale and hearty man in appearance, about forty-five to fifty, but really sixty - four years old. Ha sat down on my bed and gave me his symptoms, which are mine as .nearly as I could describe them, from which I have beeji suffering for ten years. He told me that he had been ailing for thirty years, and that for years and years he could not do anything, but that the last year he has been work lng overtime. My doctors (three of them), while I was down with my last spell, gave me from four to six hours to live. I have taken nearly four bot ties of your Renal Compound and It has worked wonders for me as far as the kidneys are concerned. Before taking it I used to be called every fifteen to thirty minutes last night I slept soundly for nearly eight hours. The patient then describes a rheu matic condition as one of the Involve ments and asks for special advice and Instruction. This ten-year-old case, though stubborn and much complicated. seems to - be making the response to Fulton's Renal Compound that Lee's Case did. The text books strongly declare chronic inflammation of the kidneys to be incurable. Recent writers give the time as six months that establishes the chronic form. We a few days ago re corded a recovery in a case of twent five years' duration, and this in con nectlon with the above thirty-year-old case, together with a long line of chronic cases, we submit as sufficient answer to the question: "Does chronic as well as Incipient kidney disease really respond to this treatment?"

Surprising What Kodol Will Do For you, when you need it. But the longer you neglect Indigestion-the more you will suffer. And, of course, indigestion if neg lected long enough, brings on seri ous diseases in which Kodol cannot benefit you. Some of these there Is no help for at all. There are, In fact, very few ailments which can not be traced directly to impure blood. And Impure blood Is always due to a disordered stomach. Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dys pepsia. Kodol will effectually assist Nature to secure a complete restor ation of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food in the stomach and keeping it digested, until the stomach is rested and can resume its own work. Kodol re moves the cause and the effect quickly removes itself. When it is recalled that Apoplexy, Heart Disease, Cancer and even Consumption are due to poor di gestion and poisons thus transmit ted to the blood, and throughout the system the importance of maintaining good digestion is at once realized. We knew what Ko dol would do before even the first bottle was sold. If we did not know just what it will do, we would not guarantee it the way we do. Every tablespoonful will digest 24 pounds of food. Our Guarantee. rUtifor Kodol. If you are not benefited the) druggist will at once return your mon ey. Don't hesitate; anv drusrglst will sell you Kodol on these terms. Tho dollar bottle contains 2H times a much as the 50c bottle. Kodol is pre pared in the laboratories of E. C. D .Wltt & Co., Chicago.

TAYLOR, Obstructions My treatment Is absolutely pain less, and perfect results can be de Pfcnded upon in every instance. I do no cutting or dilating whatever. Contracted Disorders Be sure your cure is thorough. Not one of my patients has ever had a relapse after beinpr dis charged as cured, and I cure In less time than the ordinary forms of treatment require. Different doctors have different ideas In regard to cures. Some call a suppression of symptoms a cure. They dose for drug effects and claim that nothing more can be done. But the real ailment remains, and will bring tho real symp toms back again, perhaps the same as before, but very likely leave the patient in a much worse condition. I claim that nothing less than complete eradication of disease can be a real cure. I treat to remove the disease, and not merely the symptoms. I search out every root and fiber of an ailment, and I cure to stay cured. WEAKNES S I not only cure "weakness" promptly, but I em ploy the only treatment that can possibly cure this disorder permanentlv. It Is a system of local treatment entirely original with me. and is employed by no physician other than myself. This may seem a broad assertion, but it is just as substantial as It is broad.
