Doubtful Districts Changing.
-This information is based upon
what 1 believe to ba reliable reports
from practically every one of tha so
called -doubtful districts. We have
made and are making substantial fains
In districts ajrhich were lost In tha elec

fin. "Three months ago pessimistic Re
publicans and optimistic Democrats ex
pressed tha bailer that this was a Dem
scratlo year. Their prediction was not
lhared by yourself or others charged
with responsibility for carrying- for
ward tha Republican campaign- I am
pleased to advise that there baa been a
Bedded Chun In sentiment In tha last
lew weeks. Democratic hopes are fad
ing and Republicans generally are now
pnthuateatlo In their belief that, while
this may have been a Democratic year
bi July. It is a Republican year In No
rember. Taft Slogan Adopted.
"In your letter to me of August 10.
1!0. you stated that the Question was
not what complexion cf Republicanism
one prefers, but whether It Is better for
t:-.e country to have the Republican party
control the legislation for tha next two
frxrm and further redeem Its promises,
or to enable a Democratic majority In
the House either to Interpose, a veto to
the Republican mmmris or to formu
late and pass bills to carry out Demo
cratic principles.
"Tour clear and JHiat analysis of Re
rubltcan principles and your brief out

"As yon weQ predicted, the party as

patriotic in subordinating Individual

"FoHowIna: your suggestion. It has
been tha aim of this committee to em
phasise the differences In the govern
mental parties. We hava sous tit to
muke this a camnatgn of education, and
while In ewns districts tha real Issues

ord Support ot West Is
Plot of His Machine.
Jay Bowerman. Republican direct
primary nominee for Governor of Ore
gon. sounded a warning to the voters
of the stats yesterday against the
manipulations of Jonathan Bourne,
multi-millionaire Senator and machine
politician, who Is seeking by lavish use
of his cash to perfect his state ma
chine through the election to the Gov
ernor's chair of his protege snd proxy,
Oswald West.
In an open letter to ths voters, which
Is to bo sent out In circular, form by
the Republican State Central Commit
tee, Mr. Bowerman goes fully Into the
question of Bourneism and lays bars
the vital Issue ot the campaign. His
Indictment of Bourne Is complete and
the menace of Bourneism Is clearly and
effectively presented. ,
. Bourne's Motive Apparent.
The letter follows:
The Bourne political machine ta en
deavoring to hide the real Issues of
this campaign. Senator Bourne aras
elected by tha Republican voters of this
state to tha office of Senator. He was
nominated under tho primary law; he
received. very small plurality In tne
primary election. Tha jlurallty riven
to mo In the primary election was more
than four times as large as that given
to Mr. Bourne.
"In the primary election I carried it
out ot 14 counties In the stste; not
withstanding those facts, Mr. Bourne Is
openly supporting Mr. West and '. opea
to secure Mr. West's election In order
that he may perfect a political machine
In thla state.
"Mr. Bourne's purpose Is entirely ap
parent, lie wishes to ba returned to
tho United States Senate and ha feels
that his record during the past term Is
such that he cannot be returned excrpt
by tbe assistance of the Governor's of
fice and tho use of the patronage of
that office.
"There are certain potent ret ;
why. In my opinion. Senator Bouta.e has
failed to "make good" as a United
States Senator, and for these reasons
he knows that the pebple of Oregon,
unless Influenced by political machine,
will refuse to return him to the Senate.
I beg to call your attention to some t
the "things he has done and failed to
do:
Duly as Senator Neglected.
First, notwithstanding his pretended
Inclination and desire to have United
States Senators elected by the" people,
he has never advsJcated that method In
the United Statea Senate and when an
amendment to allow tho people to elect
their Senatora was up for rote, Mr.
Bourne was absent.
"Second. Mr. Bourne voted with Sena
tor Aldrlch on the tariff bill 71 times:

NEW YORK, Nov. J. With victory

Tho mealey bugs do thousands of

Now the ants are fond of sugar, but
they are helpless to get at the sap
without the aid of the mealey bugs

On Way to Pay Debt, J. E.
Roberts Stopped on Bridge.
LOCAL MAN IS SUSPECTED
Killing and Robbery Is Thought to
Have Been Done by Person Who
Knew Roberts' Affairs New
Revolver Offers Clew.
SALEM, Or, Nov. 2. (Special.) As
he drove under the covering of a lonel?
bridge near the State Reform School,
two and one-half miles south ol this
city, at 6:30 o'clock this evening, J. E.
Roberts,' a well-known real estate
dealer oj; Salem, was shot and killed
and then robbed of from .5000 to $7500.
Roberts was found dying on the
planking- of the bridge by Earl Gard
ner, who drove onto tho bridge shortly
after the realty man was attacked.
Gardner, however, did not hear the
shooting and the murderer or murder
ers had escaped in tbe darkness.
' Two bullets had pierced Roberts' hat
and a third lodged in the left side ot
his head, near the top of the skull. He
lived but an hour, dying without re
gaining consciousness.
.'Revolver Is Found.
' Near the scene of the shooting was
found a 82-callbre revolver, with three
empty chambers. It bad evidently Just
been discharged for the first time. Of
ficers are positive that the weapon
was purchased at a local gun store
within the last two or three days.
This weapon was - unquestionably
used in the killing of Roberts and it
augments the firm conviction In the
minds of the officers that the holdup
was the work, not of professional high
waymen, but of a person well acquaint
ed with the dead man and his affairs.
. It is thought that his slayer knew
that Roberts was driving to the home
of his brother to wipe out a debt, on
a farm with the 15000 be is known to
have carried with him. and that with
in the last few days Roberts had se
cured from local banks the sum of
S7500. Aside from this conviction,
which is shared by relatives of Roberts,
the Identity of his slayer is as yet
a mystery.
Gardner Finds Dying Man.
When Gardner drove onto the.gloomy
bridge shortly after 6:30. the victim
of the holdup was lying bleeding and
unconscious in the middle of the road.
His horse was tied to a railing nearby.
On the' floor of the bridge was a
satchel, Roberts' property, which had
been snatched from his carriage. It
had been slashed down one side, but
in It was 3193 .in cash, which the
highwayman had' left. In his obvious
hurry to get away from the scene of
his crime. Forty dollars was found on
tho seat of Roberts' equipage.
As a memorandum book In the dead
man's pocket showed that he had with
him at least $5000. and as he, is known
to have obtained $7500 at local banks
lately. It Is thought that his murderer
secured all of the first named amount,
and possibly nearly the latter. As
Roberts was in the habit of carrying
large sums of money on his person, it

WASHINGTON, Nov. t. Back on his

Valladares, the eccentric commandant
of Amapala. the Pacific port of Hon

vlla to put him out of his Job.
The United States gunboat Princeton,
which has been at A talpa about three
weeks to protect American Interests,
has been ordered there until relieved.
Both State anl Navy Departments
have dispatches from. Honduras, tell
ing of Valla'dares' queer performance.
Commander Hayes, of the Princeton,
cabled the Navy Department today.
Just after he had received orders to go
to Panama for cod, that Valladares,
after resigning, had returned, removed
his successor and assumed charge of
Amapala. He added that the Prince
ton should remain there at present.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop
at once ordered the Prir.eton to stay.
The Torktown probably will be ent

Valladares had been Governor of
Amapala since 1907. Recently Valla

from a cage and hung irp in a tree for
tbe purpose of having it photographed,
took a sudden notion not to "sit" for

among photographers and bystanders
while the snake uncoiled itself and moved

among the buildings and shrubbery.
An organised hunt was started Im

hour or more of searching failed to locate

Chicago Has Day of Turmoil, Dis

Parts of City 14-Year-Old
- Girl Leads Frenzied Throng.
CHICAGO, Nov. ' 2. Grim specters o(
the days of the Haymarket riot haunted
Chicago's streets for a brief time late
this afternoon, when Inspector Healy and
a squad of GO policemen with drawn re
volvers charged several thousand striking
garment workers who were rioting on the
West Side.
One policeman was stabbed, 15 rioters
were seriously injured and 20 strikers
and sympathizers were arrested during
the fight, which threatened to get beyond
police control.
This, the most serious outbreak sines
the inception of the strike, occurred at
the plaift of A. Lott & Co. Before the
police arrived, the strikers had broken
all the windows in the large building
occupied by the clothing manufacturers,
had driven strikebreakers out and had
carried a large number of sewing ma
chines into the streets, where the ma
chines were destroyed.
' Many Are Trampled On.
The strikers and their followers put
up a desperate fight. Many of them wer
knocked down by the clubs and revolver!
of the police and not a few were
trampled upon. Some of the employes
of the company Joined the strikers and
are said to have assisted in pulling ma
chines from the floors.
Men and women were hurling stones
and bricks through the windows of the
plant when Inspector Healy and his
band of reserves arrived. The in
spector found difficulty in getting to
gether the disorganized force of police
men which had borne the brunt of ths
early fighting. When he had done
so, however, the policemen charged
through the center of the mob, knock
ing down all in their way.
Women Among Them Arrested.
Many of the rioters fled when they
saw tha policemen draw their revol
vers. Those who remained firm hurled .
clubs and stones at the approaching
officers. A number of women were
arrested, but most of these were re
leased after they had been taken to
police stations.
The attitude of the police indicates
that much more serious trouble is an
ticipated within the next 24 hours. All
preparations are being made for has
tily calling in the reserves from outly
ing stations and mobilizing a large
force In the down town district
Strikers Hold Meetings.
Strikers tonight held a dozen largely
attended meetings on the west and
north sides and also down town. Tha
feeling at these meetings was intense
and agitators urged the strikers to
further disorder. Meanwhile, various
clubwomen who have interested them
selves in the cause of the girl garment
workers were urging their followers
to refrain from any action which might
injure their cause.
Riots broke out in a dozen places to
day. One mob was led by a girl. Strik
ers marched through the streets shout
ing and blowing whistles and horns.
Streetcar traffic was hampered, and at
one spot stalled, by tho crowds.
The strike-is not for an increase of
wages, but for the principle of "col
lective bargaining," as the strikers
term their demand for recognition of
the union. - -
Girl Jueads Riot.
JoeIo Mielewzki. M years old, led one of
the most serious, riots when an attack
was made on the shops of.lfuh, Nathan
& Fisher this afternoon. She and a
number of others were arrested.
Tha strikers, numbering about 200, had
broken several windows and -had con
quered the guard around the place when
the police arrived. ' At the word charge
from the police the girl Is said to have .
shouted -. "Get together men, charge tho
police. Get the Jump on 'em."
The strikers responded to her call and
attacked the bluecoats. The latter used
their clubs and scattered the mob. Josie
and a youth named Frank Brex fought
to the last, , continuing their resistance
even in the patrol wagon.
Policeman Seriously ; Hurt. '
The first serious injury of- the striks
was received by Policeman Carroll John
son. He was stabbed and beaten when,
single-handed, he sought to beat back a
mob of 300 persons who were charging
the shop of Fred Shau at 1106 West
Huron street. He was rescued by a pa
