Mr. Root addressed himself particu larly to those Republicans who might be wllllns to Tote against ths Re publican candidate for Oovernor for the Saks of rebuking Theodore Roosevelt, and declaring that Republican defeat In the state this Kail would be even mors a blow to the National Adminis tration than to Colonel Roosevelt. Radical Effect Hinted. In fact, he said, a Democratic vic tory In New Tork uld more likely turn the next National convention away from a National Administration wklch could not hold Its party . to gether and toward Mr. Roosevelt, or "to one of the far more radical leaders bow looming up on ths political horl Bon In North and Middle West." Contrary to soms expectations. Sen ator Root brought no direct pledge from Colonel Roosevelt regarding his attitude toward the nomination Jn 1)1!. "A good ' many Republicans at this time." said Senator Root, "seem dis posed to Ignore all the grave and sub stantial Issues which are before the people of this state, and to vote at the coming election upon no Issue what ever, but simply ss an expression of feeling axalnst Mr. Roosevelt, whose course regarding National affairs tbey disapprove for one reason or another. Roosevelt Honor to State. Tt should be observed that the declara tion of this Intention cuts both ways. Wherever a roan declares he will vote against the Republican ticket because be does not like Roosevelt there will be ethers who will vote the ticket be cause they d like It, and because they (.el that with his tremendous force and courage snd ability he haa done a poble and much-needed work for hon esty, purity, equality and freedom In the political life of our country. "My lurai would be that If the Issue In this. state were whether Mr. Roose Jrett had reflected credit and honor to the Republican party In our state and a our country or the contrary, there would be a large majority In the affirmative. "It la eald that we must consider row the nomination for the Presidency In 112. Well.

"After election people don't serutln--e the multitude of reasons which may leave contributed to ths result. They enly see the general result, and If It shsuld hsppen that ths Administration cannot hold Its own party together, ths National convention would bs quite likely to look for a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness, and tbey trlght go to Mr. Roosevelt, or tbey might go to one of the far more radi cal leaders who are looming up on ths political horlxon in the North and Mid dle West.

RISK HELD AS OVERRATED Kansas Oovernor Says Railways! Not Entitled to Preferential Rales More Than Bank Witness Acts as Examiner. CHICAGO, Oct 2S. Presentation of evidence by the shippers who are oppos ing the proposed advance in freight rates was concluded today before the Inter state Commerce Commission with the testimony of W. R. Stubbs, Governor of Kansas, who. In characteristic manner, declared his opposition to an Increase In rates and his belief as a practical builder of railroads that valuations have been placed too high. 'Til put up a million dollar bond." said the Governor, "that I can construct a main 11ns railroad In Kansas, an up-to-date line, too, for C5.00O a mile and make 10 per cent profit on the Job." Governor's Estimates Low. The lowest estimate of railroad build ing offered by the railways more than doubled the Governor's estimate. Tomorrow the railroads will introduce testimony to Justify some of the evi dence and statistics already In the. case. It is expected, the hearing will be com pleted tomorrow.

Banks and .Railroads Compared. At one point In the cross-examination by T. J. Norton, attorney of the Santa Fe. Governor Stubbs declared: "Nowi let me tell you something. There Is not ss much risk In building a railroad In a good territory as in start ing a bank. I don't think the railroads need preferential rates: they can make money as they are, and they should be run on the same business basis as a bank." Mr. Norton ssked the witness If he knew of a washout which put the Salt Lake Railroad out of business for 100 days "Yes. I beard of It." was the Gov ernor's reply. "I Just called attention to it In con nection with your comparison of the risks of banks and railroads." said Mr. Norton. Stnbbs Gets Laugh.

EMPLOYERS' LISTS TAKEN Men Employed on Railroads Throughout Northwest Credited to. Lodglug-HousesInspectors Give Credit for Full Rooms, ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Oct. 28. From best Information obtainable here, it Is probable that the census of the population of the City of Portland has been reduced by 14,000 names as a result of the checking Investigation Just closed In Portland- It is believed that the population to be officially an nounced will be 207.009.- The greatest reductions were -made from the schedules turned In for the inhabitants of the foreign quarters, Chi nese and Japanese districts having been found to have been heavily padded. It is probable that a cut will be made on the Inhabitants of those nationalities to the extent of 2500. Laborers Planted Wholesale. One general scheme appears to have been worked on the Coast In .placing Chinese and Japs on the rolls w,ho should have been omitted. It was to visit the places-of business of the Japa nese and Chinese merchants who handle laborers on the padrone "system. Lists of laborers who had been sent to the Interior of the state and who never main tained a residence in any one of the cities would be obtained and "located" among the various rooming-houses and dwellings of the quarters. In that manner. It is also charged, long lists of names of Italian laborers em ployed on the railroads now building Into various parts of the states of Washing ton and Oregon, were obtained and count ed in the cities,' under the reasoning that they were entitled to be counted some where.. How Inspectors Cut Total. The manner of checking up these lists has been for the special agents to visit personally each house where large regis tration of names was made and to esti mate the entire number which could be In any manner accommodated for sleep ing Quarters. In many instances It was allowable to grant the use of the bunks for both day and night shifts of sleepers, and even then too many men had been planted.

That' Charles Davenport Taylor, worth J2.000.000, has been in hiding from his wife for the 18 months, since he de serted her In Munich, Germany, leaving her with but 40 cents in her purse, is one of the allegations of a complaint filed in the Superior Court at Santa Ana to day by Mrs. Minnie X.

IT ED FOR WHOLE TICKET Bowerman Finds Party United, Confident. TOUR OF STATE CEMENTS IT Disaffection Is Transferred to Democracy. WEST CAN'T DRAW CROWDS Contrast Is Strong With Large, En thusiastic Meetings Which Hear Bowerman Talk Campaign in Multnomah Is Opened. Success for the whole Republican ticket with a vote not far from the full normal majority, is the forecast now made by the Republican State Central Committee, and that optimistic view is concurred in by party men intimately in touch with the present political situa tion in Oregon. Reports from every quarter from As toria to Ashland and from Huntington to Marshfield indicate to a certainty that harmony is establishing itself within the party as a settled fact. Disaffection, it is ascertained, has transferred itself to the Democratic party and that because of the use to which the Bourne-Chamberlain ma chine has essayed to put the party in its efforts to elect the machine's pro tege, Oswald West. Obvious failure has met all efforts of the Bourne-Chamberlain element to disrupt the Republican party by crea tion of false issues, say Republicans. And they add that there are no ap parent grounds for believing continued poison-spreading from the would-be disruptionlsts will in any way injure the Republican- cause in the present campaign. There are many, in fact, who contend that the campaign of vilification and vicious personal abuse of candidates resorted to by the Bourne-Chamberlain newspapers Is re acting in favor of the Republican cause. Abuse, it is cited, Is a poor substitute for issues in a state 'cam paign. Good Test of Opinion Made. The reception by the public of the two chief figures in the campaign is taken as an 'important basis for mak ing an estimate of the probable out come. Jay Bowerman, Republican di rect primary candidate for Governor, returned to Portland early yesterday morning from three weeks of cam paigning through the state and every where he was met by enthusiastic throngs of voters . who pledged him their hearty support. Reports from the meetings held by West, the ma chine's protege, indicate quite a dif ferent reception for him, nearly all his meetings being poorly attended and at least one of them proving a total failure. This was at Hood River a week ago, when so few people were in the assembly hall at the appointed meeting hour that West adjourned to the street and attempted to drum up an audience. Bowerman Talks on Issues. Bowerman made thousands of votes on his campaign trip, while his opponent lias weakened himself by his public ap pearances, pay those who have attended meetings held by both men. The Bower man addresses have dealt with issues, with work to be carried out in the ad ministration of state affairs coupled with a warning to the people of Oregon of the .menace to the state of Senator Bourne, the unscrupulous disruptionist who for personal reasons has taken up Wcst'a lause. The West talks, on the other hand, have been made up largely of potty abuse of Mr. Bowerman. West lias charged that the Republican candidate if a creature of the corporations, whereas the Bowerman legilative record is ono long refutation of such a charge. Other charges equally unfounded have been made for the apparent purpose of ap pealing to the prejudices' of the unin formed. Astoria Turns Out in Mass. In tlie campaign just ended one of the most enthusiastic receptions accorded Mr. Bowerman was at Astoria, which West claims as hia home. Last Tuesday night the spacious opera-house was jammed upstairs and down and more than 100 people were unable to get inside. - The attendance established a record in Astoria, which Is reputed as being little inclined to turn out for such affairs. A meeting at the same pluce held by Demo crats a week before, and at which Sena tor Chamberlain was the principal speaker, had a mere handful of people In attendance. In Columbia County Bowerman was re ceived with an ovation and assured that the whole county would give him Its undivided support. He met the same sort of reception in Hood River and Wasco counties. In Wasco many Demo crats were found working for Bowerman as a result of the warning sounded by their leader in the county. Judge A. S. Bennett, who charges that Oswald West lobbied at the last Legislature for the railroads to defeat a measure desired by the stockmen of Eastern Oregon. The eastern sertion'of the state as a whole is reported as strongly predisposed (Concluded oa fmt 4.). iCiMKiwie ea fui a.1
