CAMPAGN
TO END TONIGHT
Indications Point to Overthrow
of Bourne-Chamberlain
Machine.
.BOWERMAN SURE TO WIN
iJIrect Primary Candidate for Gov
ernor Expects Great Majority.
Opposition's Storm of Tntrnth
Reacts on Oswald West.
Assured by reports from every quar
ter of Oregon that Republicans of the
State ars going to uphold the direct
primary law at the polls tomorrow
through the election of Jar Bowerman.
Republican direct primary candidate
for Governor, the party campaign
forces are nevertheless going to pursue
an aggressive canvass for votes right
up to the last hour.
That Mr. Bowerman and the whole
Stat ticket will be elected is accepted
as a certainty at headquarters of the
Republican State Ontral Committee. Jt
Is In the Interest of rolling up the ma
jority airalnst the Bourne-Chamberlain
machine and its protege. Oswald West,
eo as to make the defeat of political
eniranerv In Oregon crushing and com
plete, that the Republican campaigners
are carrying their work right up to the
are of election. Republican canvasses
by volunteer workers will be made In
every county today and mass meetings
will be held at many points tonight.
Machine to Oct Setback.
Atl the signs point to a serious set-hv-k
a beginning of the end for the
Bourne-Chamberlain machine when the
voters of Oregon rally to the defense of
te primary law tomorrow. The Bourne
element, encouraged by Republican
disaffection In the primary campaign,
had planned on a Republican rumpus In
n- general election.
But such a rumpus has failed to ma
terialise. Harmony has been settling
over the party rapidly. lefendera of
the primary law have been pointing out
the menace to the primary law of th
Beurne-Chamberlaln combine. Having
been tricked and duped several times
by shrewd political tricksters, the rank
and file of the Republican party looked
twice. this time before placing Its foot
In the trap of the machine.
Oswald West, although "the nominee
of the Wmocratlc party, practically re
pudiated that party as a final desperate
resort in the scheme for bringing on
Republican disaffection. The result of
that move was to set Democrats
against hltn on every hand and It Is
contended that he baa not aided his
cause with the Republicans. For he is
posing under a Bourne pennant aa a
factional Republican. It was entirely
unforeseen by the plotters that Repub
lican factionalism would all but dis
appear In the last hours of the cam
paign -and leave West apparently
stranded.
West Will Los Many Votes.
That West will lose many thousand
Wmocratlc votes is the contention of
tliose closely following the campaign.
The Democratlo State Central Commit
tee places the number of Democrats
who will vote against West at not
more than 1500. Republicans and many
leading Democrats say the number will
be from two to four times that number,
democratic disaffection is to be found
In every county. The Multnomah Coun
ty Democratic Central Committee is
open In Its opposition to the Bourne
Chamberlain combination which la
back of Wast. -
The campaign of abuse conducted by
the West element appears also to have
had an unlooked for result. The re
vulsion of feeling against Bourne press
methods has swept the state. In the
eleventh hour of the campaign, the lo
cal Bourne newspaper has left off Its
vicious tirades against Jay Bowerman.
This was Insisted upon by those In
charge of the machine's campaign, and
who started the tirade only to find it
waa reacting In favor of the Repub
lican standard bearer. Petty vllllflca-
tlon on colored and unfounded charges
failed to make the Impression on the
public mind that had been expected.
The public love of fair play was
aroused br the vllllflcatlon.
The Republican Issue has been de
fense of the direct primary law. Warn
ings have also been sounded to the
menace of Bournelsm. Personalities
hava been avoided so far as possible.
The fact that West lived In the United
Elates ii years before he took out his
naturalisation papers has not been used
by the Republican committees at all In
the campaign: a tact in aeuaea con
trast with the petty attacks of the
West-Bourne-Chamberlaln element on
Bowerman attacks that fell flat in the
light of Bowerman'a unimpeachable
record.
When the machine Issued a manifesto
to the voters of Oregon not to vote for
Bowerman and other Republican candl
dates not desired by the machine. It
stepped Into an unexpected trap. For
these men were the nominees of the dl
rect primary law. the primary law Is
regarded by thousands even above
party and hence the Bonnie treachery
aroused a wide and bitter resentment.
Ilowerraan Busy Today.
Mr. Bowerman will devote today n
campaigning the West Side, leaving
early this morning accompanied by
Representative llawley. Speeches will
be made at HIIlibc.ro. Banks, and inter
mediate points and at night Bowerman
and Hawley will end thctr campaign
with a big meeting at Forest Grove.
Rival Bowerman and West meetings
will be held st Astoria, which Is claimed
by the machine candidate aa bis home.

principal speaker at the Bowerman
meeting, which will be held In the

At Ft. Johns, a rousing Bowerman
meeting has been planned at which the
principal speaker will be Judge tirant
B. pimlck. of Oregon City. Judge
rtmtck was Mr. Bowerman's principal
opponent In the primary campaign.
Ex-Governor Gecr will spvak at a
Bowerman meeting in Grants rasa. C.
V. Fulton will speak at a mass meet

ethers will address street meetings in
Portland, and rorvallls Republicans
will be addressed by local speakers.
Mr. Bowerman will remain at Forest
Grove Monday night and with Mr. Maw
ley will vote at that place Tuesday
morning before returning to Portland.
There will be no campaigning Tuesday.
Jerlty e-f voters who selected me as
the norrlnee of the Republican party. I
feel It my duty to make It known that
the statementa made and conclusions
drawn were not warranted by the farts
and are untrue. In charity to my de
tractors, however, I may state that the
matters from which they draw their
conclusions occurred years ago. and
ignorance of the facta and political
seal may have led them to make asser
tions they would not make with all the
facts before them.
I will have to admit I came to Port
land as a sailor In 1S. and that my
early life waa passed among those
rough In demeanor, but warm at heart
and Just in their treatment of others.
I had many things to overcome and
many hard and bitter struggles before
I was admitted to practice law more
than 20 years ago, and since then I
have been striving to qualify myself
for the position I now seek, and no
man can trutnruuy say i nave ever
broken my word or taken an unfair ad'
vantage of anr man.
It has been insinuated that I drink
Intoxicating liquor, but I can truth
fully say I have not taken over 1
drinks of intoxicating liquor in 1
years.

missloner Says Manufacturer
Docs Not Controvert Charges.
"Mr. Corbett's tirade is of the kind
frequently heard from the police court
lawver. who. when his client has no
frnse. abuses the attorney on the other
side." said M. G. Munlv yesterday, re
ferring to the extracts from H. W. Cor
bett'a letter In defense of the Port of
Portland Commission published in The
Oreeonlan vesterday.
"Mr. Corbett's abuse continued further
and Included the taxpayers and cltixens
who attended the meeting and also the
Plsfform speakers. Ills letter Is re
markable In that It doea not controvert
the following charges, made at the mass
meeting, against the Commission:
"That the Commissioners have be
t rayed their trust by entering Into I
conspiracy to turn the public dock over
to the Oregon Drydock Company, of
which Corbett Is the mansger and In
which C. F. Bwlgert. through the Pa
cific Bridge Company, owna stock.
"That the precise terms of the pro
posed lease have never been made public
and that It contained a provision provid
tng for the sale of the public drydock
to the Oregon Drydock Company on or
before the termination of the lease.
"That the new schedule of rates Is
(0 per cent higher than the old rates
in force at the public drydock. making
it Impossible to compete with the Oregon
Drydock Company.
"That Captain Macintosh was dis
charged because he used his best ef
forts to bring business to the public dry-
dock, which Is In competition with the
Oregon Drydock Company, controlled by
Corbett, 8wlgert et al.
"That C. F. 8wtgert owned stock in
the Willamette Iron A Ft eel Works and
that Mr. Corbett told Mr. Ballln that
Mr. 8wlgert was to transfer bis stock
In order that criticism would not be
levelled at the works for building boats
for the Port. By the way, these gentle
ment have never given an explanation
why the Oregon drydock was built when
the publio dock could not be made to
pay expenses. The 1500 or 2000 people
who gathered to hear the arraignment of.
the Commission will not be satisfied with
Mr. Corbett's expressions of disrespect
and contempt for them.
That the contract for the Oneonta
s given to Corbett's concern by Im
proper methods, by the throwing out of
legitimate bids snd plans and by collu
sive arrangement with outside competi
tors.
That the public money was wasted
by collusive bidding when the contract
for tbe construction of the public dry-
dock waa let and that It Is wasted in the
purchase of supplies and river towboats.
After all, it is fortunate mat tne com
missioners should have undertaken to
obstruct the Brosdway bridge as they
thereby revealed their vulnerability and
called attention to their lax and unbusi
nesslike methods.
The committee of 60 to be appointed
this week pursuant to the Instructions of
these at the mass meeting will endeavor
to secure a full investigation or the
charges made against the Port Commis
sioners and will not relax endeavors un
til a measure has been obtained bring
ing the Commission under popular con
trol and making It responsible to the peo
ple. It will not cease until the transac
tions of the Port are taken out from
behind closed doors In Bwigert's office
and transacted openly. This committee
will also attempt to secure complete
grand Jury Investigation of the Commls-
slon's acts which are open to suspicion.

Rain spoiled all plans of the "wets"
and "drys" for street speaking yester
day and unless the sun comes out today
or the real wet is held up. both sides
will content themselves with their big
rallies tonight. The only excitement on
the street yesterday was the display in
the Perkins Hotel window. A large as
eortment of patent medicines contain
ing all the way from 4 per cent to 8
per cent alcohol, and some of the reme
dies morphine and opium, had been pur
chased br members of the Greater Or
gon Home Rule Association on Sunday
in "dry" cities of the state. They were
displayed with humorous placards. Thft
exhibit was the best barometer to deals
nate "wets" snd "drys" of any that has
been tried. It waa easy to tell how a
man would vote after he glanced at the
window. If he walked on with a smile,
it waa a "wet" vote; If he started an
argument with a bystander or looked
sour. It wss a "dry" vote.
The "wets" will close their campaign
tonight with a rally In the Armory. The
meeting will be addressed by Captain
Dan Morgan Smith, of Chicago, general
counsel of the Model License League.
The "drys" will close their campaign

SUFFRAGE A DELUSION.
We commend to the attention of
electors the article In the current La
dies' Home Journal on conditions in the
four states where women vote. The
article Is a demonstration that nothing
good has come from the extension of
the suffrage to women. The article Is
from the pen of a disinterested Investi
gator: he shows conclusively that
woman's position before the law Is less
favorable In the four woman suffrage
states than elsewhere. The suffrage
has not Increased the wages of women,
but It has put In evidence a class of
political women whose influence is
wholly bad.
BALLOT TITLE.
Don't be misled by the ballot title.
The measure proposed Involves votes
for all women, native born or natural
ised, not for tax-paying women only.
This measure has been defeated three
times in the last 10 years; it is an
abuse of the initiative to propose it
again this year. Mark 801 on the offi
cial ballot and vote it down.

Reunion of O. R. & K. and Northern
Pacific Builders Is. Under Way.
W. II. Galvanl Backer.
A reunion of the few remaining rail
way engineers who blazed the trail for
all the construction work of both the
O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific routes
through the Northwest Is being planned.
William H. Galvanl, of this city, states
that arrangements for a dinner is under
way and that the guest list will include
all the surviving engineers who helped
to build nearly every foot of the steel
highways of Idaho, Oregon and Wash-J
lngton, thus making It one or the most
unique as well as one of the most aus
picious gatherings of the kind ever held.
"Itls surprising." said Mr. Galvanl
yesterday, "to think how few of us are
left. Of the large corps of engineers
who helped to build the network of
roads in the Northwest those who are
still living are scattered through various
parts of the country."
Henry B. Theilsen. who was assistant
to his father, Hans Theilsen, chief en
gineer of the O. R. & N. and chief super
visor and engineer of the Northern Pa
cific, western division, is now engaged
In the dairy business near Salem, being
the proprietor of a large ranch.
V. G. Bogue, who was assistant chief
engineer of the Northern Pacific, is now
a consulting engineer for several large
enterprises In New York, and last week
was in Seattle on a professional visit.
W. W. Bretherton, assistant engineer
for the O. R. ft N. in the early days.
now is-claim agent for the Southern
Pacific with offices in this city.
Engineer Rapp, who has charge of the
construction work on the Mount Tabor
reservoir, was assistant engineer on the
Northern Pacific on the line between
Portland and Goble.
John R. Hanson, former chief of the
draughting department 'of the O. R. &
N., is now Deputy City Engineer.
Peter Hansen and Mr. Galvanl divided
their time between the office and field,
the latter being the youngest In the serv
ice. The former is now with the United
Railways and the latter for five years
has been with the Oregon Electric.
George R. Marshall and Otto Kleeman
were the architects. They designed and
built nearly all the railway stations and
other railway buildings.
Edward Cookingham, vice-president of
the Ladd & Tllton hs.uk, was private
secretary to the chief engineer, Mr.
Theilsen.
P. S. Malcolm, now collector of cus
toms, was the chief of the engineering
deDartment of the O. R. & Is.
Joseph Chambreaux. then draughtsman
for the O. R. & N., is now a private ac
countant.
F. P. Weymouth, ex-superintendent of
the Northern Paciflo and now resiamg
at Spokane, is probably the oldest of the
corps still living. He Is past 80 years
of Ave.

event, in order that her health be preserved for future years. Moth
er's Friend is woman's safest reliance; it is a medicine for external
use, composed of nils and other ingredients which assist nature in all
necessary physical changes of the system. Its regular use before the
coming of baby prepares the muscles and tendons for the unusual
strain, aids in expanding the skin and flesh fibres, and strengthens
the tissues. Mother's Friend leaves the mother, in such healthful

For Your Hair
Here Are Facts We Want
You to Prove at Our Risk
Marvelous as It may seem: Rexall
"93" . Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
It la understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor had
the scalp taken on a glazad, shiny ap
pearance. When the roots of the hair are en
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
aro glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
.When Rexall "93" Ha r Tonio -will
do as above stated, it li not strange
that we have such great faith n it
and that we claim it -wl'l prevent baldr
nets when used In time. It acts scien
tifically, destroying the germs wh'ch
ae usually responsible for baldneae.
It penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. It
is a most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get- a bottle or
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use It as
directed. If it does not relieve scalp
Irritation, remove dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and In every
way give entire satisfaction, simply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for it
We 'end our endorsement to Rexall
'S3'' Heir Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is tne
best ha'r tonio ever discovered. It
cmes in two sizes, prices 60 cents and
$1.00. Remember you can obtain it
