A. W. Lafferty. Republican nominee
for Congress, addressed two lergs
street meetings tram an automobile last

Morrison street, and the aecond at
Math and Washington streets. Ha de
voted a part of hla remark to tha
personal attarka mada on lls eharao
ter bjr a weekly paper printed In Port

former preacher.
Lapham attempted to reply after Mr.
Latterly had concluded at each place,
bnt was biased and Jerred br the crowd.
fter trying vainly for several min
utes to get a hearing. Lapham quit
and left amid tha hoota of tha audl-
-T ra tha near-preacher' that thla

shouted Laphsm. aa Mr. Latterly con
rluded hla remarks at Slth and Wssh
Incton streets. -Walt, gentlemen, and
hear what I have to say."
"Does thla work pay better than
preaching? yelled a man In tha crowd.
"1 want to tell yon that Lafferty haa
not lived Ions; enough In Oreaon to
represent you In Congress. Ho haa
been here only three years, and "

and tha crowd yelled.
"Latrerty has more ways of signing

contlnaed Laphera.
-How about that 9lleta claim you triad
to Jump?" asked somebody la the audi
nee. And aa It continued for about firs
mlnatma. until mnmebodr propommd three
cheers for LafTerty. and when they
vm TfVveu wVtu a wUY. llm wttted.
and quit Ila disappeared around tha
corner aa a Jeering yell followed tha
cheer.
As Mr. Larertr left tha East Side
meetlne;. tha audience gave him three
rousing cheers. On tha West Side Mr.
Uffrnr m at hla bast and waa
cheered to the echo, oi spoke for
minutes and held the east audience
throughout. It waa one of the most
eloquent and effective political
speeches neard In Portland in years.
On both aides of ths river many imm
inent buslnesa men were among the
spectators. If the feeling expressed by
the two Me audiences who heard Mr.
Lafferty last night Is to be taken ua
a criterion, he will carry Portland at
the election next Tuesday by an over
whelming majority.
Mr. Lafferty declared that the weekly
paper that had attacked him was partly
owned and controlled by John Manning,
his Democratic opponent, and said thla
fact accounted for the attacks. Hs said
8. C. Lap hum had repeated thee at
tacks on the streets of Portland re
cently at the behest of Mr. Mannlr.
Mr. Lafferty read from the record of
a trial bad In a land case in Portland
two years ago at which Lapham waa
cross-examined by Mr. Laffsrty and
made to admit that he had filed a
contest against a Sllets homesteader In
lt. This testimony also disclosed that
Lapharn had represented hlmaell as a
shlngleweaver to one of the settlers In
endeavoring to procure evidence to n-e
against the settler In a contest. Mr.
Latterly said Lapham contested the
claim of 8. H. Willis and waa beaten.
Lafferty defending Willis, and that It
was for this reason Lapham waa now
willing tool of Manning.
He also said that Lapham waa not a
preacher, as claimed, but that hs had
been -fired" from bis church two years
sro and was not now even a cltlxen of
Oreeon. bnt had been Imported here
from the State of Washington because
no one In Portland could be found to
do the work Lapham Is now engaged
In.
In his West Side speech. Mr. Lafferty
devoted most of his time to National
Issues. He spoke vigorously In favor
of progressive laws and aald that leg
islation should be enacted at once re
moving he tariff from all trnst-made
roods, fixing a reasonable protective
tariff on all articles grown or manu
factured In the eonntry by competitive
prodncers and making It the duty of
the Interstate Commerce Comml -!on Jlo
ascertain the phvslclal valuation of
property of all public service corpora
tions and to fix maximum rates. He
exM this would reducs ths high cost
of living.
Mr. Lafferty was Introduced by W.
M. Davis, who told of his acquaintance
with tha Congressional candidate when
both were resldrnts of Missouri. -0
Tears age.
-I was running for Prosecuting At
torney In Pike County. Mo.. Just 0
rears ago." said Mr. Davis. "I waa a
Republican then, ths same aa now. and
It meaat something to be a Republican
In Missouri. I said I waa running:
you notice I didn't say anything about
being elected.
-A number of the Republican candi
dates spoke at a picnic near where
Lafferty s folks lived. After the
speaktnc was ever the candldatea went
up to the home of the Leffrrty's It waa
a good Republlcmn family to hare din

law. I did not see him again until alx
years agoe whea he moved to Portland.
I was president of the local Missouri
Society, snd he at ones looked me op
and renewed the old acquaintance.
-Mr. Lafferty became a prominent
member of our society and attended the
Important meetings we held during

His Denunciation or Bourne
as Unfit Public Servant.
Voters of Upper Albina Jammed Fire
men's hail to the doors last night and
cheered Jay Bowerman. Republican di
rect primary nominee for Governor to
tha echo when he appeared before them
on the speakar'a platform and went
over the Issues of the campaign in a
stirring address.
It was an audience mads op chiefly
of worklngmen. Every seat was filled,
the rear and sides of the hall were
packed with standing people and scores
were turned away at the door, unable
to wedge Inside. .
Mr. Bowerman took up the varloua
Issues of the campaign and tha princi
ples hs represents, emphasising those
measures and changes In ths admin
istration of state affairs that are of
particular interest and Importance to
the working-classes. He a Leo went In
to detail concerning bis legislative rec
ord, showing that his work sver has
been on the side of the people. His
denunciation of jiourne aa an unfit
public servant was cheered.
"In my present stand concerning ths
laws of the people I am merely follow
ing out a consistent course." said the
speaker. "Klx years ago, and before
the Initiative and referendum was
adopted, I advocated to tha people of
by district the selection of United
States Senator by ths direct vote of
the people and told them that until a
constitutional amendment could be
made or a method secured for that end
I would vote for tha man they Indi
cated. waa ot the same mind when,
under Statement No. L Jonathan
Bourse was the -choice for Senator and.
knowing hla unfitness and Incapacity, 1
cast my vote tor hVm n the legisla
ture simply because he was tne cnoice.
though by a narrow margin, of the peo
ple of mr district, comprising Mor
row Sherman and Gilliam counties.
-Ths laws of ths people must stand
as tha people have written them. It
Is not within tbs province of any Leg
islature to change them. If elected
Governor I will resist by the power of
veto any measure aimed by the Legis
lature against the people's laws. And
In saying thla I am enunciating a
principle for whloh I bave always stood
and contended. I shall continue to do
In the future as I have dons la ths
past.
Kevr Legislation Froposeo.
As Governor It Is my purpose to In
sist on ths adoption of certain new
Legislation. An Important atatute
which I advocate relates to ths methods
of discharging employes. At present In
Oregon It Is possible lor corporations
or employers of labor to dtschargs men
arbitrarily on the complaint of spot
ters. Scores of men, after spending
their lives In acquiring an aptitude for
a special line of work, have been turned
out of their vocations on falss charges.
The law I advocate has been tried In
Oklahoma and found of great good. It
requires that accused and accuser must
be brought face to face and the
charges proved. Such a law is in the
Interest of common Justice and right
and It Is dus ths men who work.
"I shall use my utmost efforts toward
the establishment of a public service
commission to regulate and control the
companies dealing in electric light, gas
and street transportation. It was my
privilege to help draft the present rail
way commission law, which baa proved
satisfactory, but that was a mere be
ginning and must be supplemented until
the corporations serving the people are
subject to similar control and regulation.
The control must he extended to the Is
suance of stocks ana bonds to prevent
watering and the subsequent payment by
the publio of Interest on inflated values
There Is imperative need of a change
in the use to which convict labor bs now
put In Oregon. At present the state fur
nishes the land, shelter, sustenance, ma
chinery and materials for manufacture
of stoves by convicts and then enters
these stoves on the market tn competition
with the products of free labor. That is
unfair and wrong. Let ua use our oon
vict labor in the construction of first
class permanent highways throughout the
several counties. in that way the state
will get hundreds of miles of good roads
and there will be no further competition
with free labor."
Mr. Bowerman went into the topic of
economy in state institutions, elimination
of political machines among state em
ployes and tha various other reforms and
Improvements he advocates. He con
cluded with a warning against ths dan
gers of the Bourne machine.
"Our aenlor Senator. Mr. Bourne, Is
engaged' In the building of a political
machine," said he. "Bourne has ever
been a poltlrsj trickster and he needs a
machine to protect hlra from the right
eous wrath ot bis undeceived constitu
ents when be presents his name two
rears henoe for re-election to the Sen
ate. Bourne Needs Machine,
As a necessary part of that mach'ns
he is seeking to elect Mr. West Governor,
so that Mr. West will have an army of
state appointees electioneering for
Bourne There are some 16o0 persona em
ployed by the state subject to appoint
ment by the Governor and the various
boards. The value of such a force to
Bourne Is apparent.
"If he falls to land hla proxy la the
Governor's chair Bourne will be In a di
lemma Indeed. For he has failed utterly
and completely to make good. He has
allowed 17,600,000 due this state from sale
of timber and prairie lands to go by de
fault, he has been sbsent from rollcall
most of the time and when the .tariff
question was up for consideration be ad
mitted knowing nothing of the subject,
but said he bed been fully advised by hla
good friend Mr. Aldrtcb aa to bow to
vote.
"It is In a maehlns such as hs is now
dospexately seeking to build that his
last hope lies In Oregon. He is spend
ing freely from his multl-mllllons to this
end. He has bought up an evening news
paper here and set it to work with Its
flaring red headlines vilifying me and
others of the direct primary nominees of
the Republican ticket. But even that will
not save him.
Mr. Bowerman', terse references to
Bourne were met by loud cries ef "We
know him now.'
"You will know him even better before
this campaign Is ended." the speaker re
sponded. John F. Logan handled the topic of
Bournelsm without gloves, going Into de
tail of Bourne's vicious personal life and
his political career up to -the time he
sneaked Into the Senate by unlawful
use ot his fortune.

Legislative Candidate Says "Tail ol
Democratic Ticket"' Will Win
' In Spite of Leaders.
The "tail of the Democratic ticket"
last night continued' its street campaign,
incidentally giving H. B. Van Duzer, one
of the legislative candidates, an oppor
tunity to glvehls Ideas of the Bourne
Chamberlain machine, which, he says,
is seeking to dictate politically to the
voters of Oregon of both parties.
"Far bo it from me to say that there
Is a verbal agreement between George
E. Chamberlain and Jonathan Bourne,
but the community of interests is such
as to form the partnership. Each is
flying the other's kite, and the voters
of Oregon are the buffers," declared the
man who accepted the Democratic nom
ination merely as a matter of principle.
We want political parties In the
state of Oregon, not Individuals with
parties attached. The Democrats and
Republicans are in pretty much the
same fix. Bourne is trying to dictate
to one party and Chamberlain to the
other, and if they are allowed to do so
the result will be a non-partisanship
machine and the destruction of politi
cal parties. Our form of government
la based on political parties and Icon
tend, and all students of political
economy will agree with me, that If we
want to perpetuate our form of govern
ment we must down this present
tendency towards Individualism.

otherwise we would not play the game

mitting what she declares Is an Immoral
feature on the bill at that house this
week. She first complained to Mr. Walker
without results. Whether any -further
action will be taken Is not known.
The feature to which Mrs. Baldwin
takee exception Is the "coon" song by
Sophie Tucker, the headllner. which Mrs.
Baldwin declared to be "the most loud
and offensive" she has ever witnessed.
Manager Walker paid no heed to the ob
jection of Mrs. Baldwin, who told him
that he should eliminate the act for the
sake of decency. She later complained
to the Chief.
During the evening Police Captain Bai
ley and some plainclothes policemen at
tended and evidently appreciated the
"coon" song act, as they applauded it
heartily and later said they could see
nothing wrong in it. Mrs. Baldwin wit
nessed the afternoon performance. It is
saldithat she will urge the arrest of -Mr.
Walker unless he eliminates the alleged
immoral feature. "
