Mr. Vance, of Olympia. Wash., waa
the first speaker. his subject being.
Jackson remo-rary. Present Pay Con
ditions." lie said. In part:
"I don't l:ke to see the Judiciary re
called. I have attended too many base
ball games in my day. and heard the
cry. 'kill the umpire.- I believe In let
ting the people rule, but who are the
people? I am as much one of them, as
any other man. The moment you begin
to say there shall be no tribunal be
tween my private and constitutional
tight and the will of the majority, you
are treading on dangerous ground. The
constitution and the courts are made
for the protection of the weak. If the
great captains of Industry will once
turn their masterly abilities to doing
business under the law, instead of at
tempting to evade the law. our eco
nomic progress wiu proceed without
disturbance. (Applause). Hut the only
way to make them do It Is to beat them
on the back every time they refuse.
Baaka neeanee Deaaat.
' "If you take a", ay the constitutional
right of the individual you have noth
ing? to appeal to but the will of the ma
jority. The doctrine of the greatest
good to the greatest number Is Incorrect-
So far as the law la concerned It
should be the least harm to the fewest.
The law should act as a policeman to
see that the big man doesn't get the
ltttle man's goat. The minute the law
leta the big man act the little man's
Dinner, or the little man. get the big
mane dinner, that minute the law be
comes an Iniquity and an abomination.
That's the doctrine of the Democratic
party today. The Republican party
has assumed that It would be well to
nave the big man feed on your dinner
because he will grow and protect you.
Then you starve while he la growing.
"The bankers are bigger than the
Oovernment. Five years ago every
big bank la the Union detied the Gov

iHnririli Afraid. He Mrs.
.-Almost all the Insurgents are Demo
crats at heart, but are afraid to come
ia and face the music.
-Brother Theodore holtered from the
housetops and took money In the back
door.
The only quarrel I have with my
insuejrent brethren. Roosevelt's Irreg
ulars. Is that while believing with me
tnat the tariff system as now admin
istered Is a robbery, yet they persist
In. reforming the tariff so as to pre
serve a system of protection. They
Intend to preserve the principle of pri
vets graft and public robbery."
ABBlana Creeta Gevenier.
,I sjd glad to be able to speak In the
fame gathering with the gentleman
who Just proceeded me, said Governor
West, when the roar of cheering that
gteeted his Introduction and drowned
me first sentences of his speech had
subsided, "even though 1 may not agree
with him In all points. I will say that
do agree with him In the main, only
Mr. Vance appeara to be a little afraid
c-f the peop.e. 1 am not afraid of the
people. I r.ave every faith In the peo
ple and I am not afraid of the recall."
He paused for a few moments while
shouts of "Of course not: The people
are with you:" echoed through the
room.
Referring to the tour he had taken
on the t;oernor'a special last month, he
said that he had found people through
out the East more Interested In the
"Oregoa system'- than in Oregon's re
sources. "People looked me up and took pains
t meet me not because 1 waa one of
the Governors nor because I waa Gov
ernor West." he said, "but because I
was the Governor of Oregon, and they
wanted to know about the Oregon sys
tem of government.
Paroling Is Defeadrd.
. Later In his speech be outlined the
work that he had done in the various
state Institutions and defended his pa
roling of prisoners, saying tnat the law
of the state required that convicts
i.fter the expiration of the minimum
time of aentenca should be paroled on
good behavior.
"When you stand up to or 70 men in
line and pick out ones to parole Just
like picking out horses at a sale, if
3 mi do muke a mistake once in a
while It a nothing awful. If he mis
behaves you ran bring him back to
jstl where he bWocgs."
In closing his speech he declared
that throughout the East the Demo
cratic prospecta In ail states he had
visited hsd appeared very bright, and
prophesied success In the coming Presi
dent. al campaign.
Before introducing John It. Gearln.
tSe toastmaster read messages of re
gret from Governor Marshall of Indi
ana, and Kofi of Massachusetts, and
from O. W. fnderTvood in WashlLgton.
1. C In which they congratulated the
tub on Us work and bespoke It a suc
cessful year. Dr. Charles Smith, of
Pendieton. Thomas Carries, of Baker,
and W. M. Pierce, of Hot Lake, all
of whom were to have been speakers
at the banquet, sent messages of re
gret, stating that they were delayed on
tb s-ow-bound trains near La Grsnde.
Mr. Geann spoke on "Party Organi
sation." urging the necessity of con
structive politics In the Iiemocrattc
party. If It dettred and expected suc
cess. reeurtrwctlve Ability Seea.
"It is not sufficient for us to tear
down." he said, "it Is not sufficient
for us to show w here our opponents
have failed. Wo must go further and
show that we can and will do better.
Destructive ability may be good, but
what the country de-mends at this time
is constructive ability."
Ha said that while the Republican
party deserved credit and would re
ceive credit for the "part It had played
In legislative Improvement during the
past decade, "the party that has stood
sponsor for. and advocated the new
order of things, by which the Govern
mental control Is brought more nearly
Into the hands of the people, where It
belongs. Is the Democratic party."
Robert C. rimlth. Mayor of Grants
Pass, opened his speech with an ac
count of his "conversion" to Democ
racy In 10J.
"Before that time I waa a Republi
can. I wrote several of the party plat
forms for the Republicans, and J be
lieve, gentlemen." he aaid. "that I
wrote the only Republican platform
that was ever complied In Oregon with
out a protective tariff plank.-"
Mr. Smith made the protective tariff
the main object of attack In a fiery
speech, that was punctuated with fre
quent bursts of applause from his en
tnuslsstlc listeners. He bitterly de
nounced Senator Bourne for be stand
he had taken In the United States Sen
ale on the tariff question.
Recall for Beerae Wasted.
"I favor the recall." he said, speak
ing In this connection, "snd I bellsve
that it should not only apply to those
officers we have at home, but to those
we send to represent us abroad, and I
think It is a shame we cannot Invoke
It against thoso who fall to uphold
the rights of the people they represent
in the National Congress, as one of our
Senators who stood hand In glove with
Aldrlch In" the vote on the protective
tariff the president of the Bourns
cotton mills. "
"We have one of the finest array of
men to put before the convention." he
cried in closing, 'that we have ever
hed In the history of the party. Wilson.
Koss. Clark. Folk. Harmon. Under
wood any one of them Is good enough
for me. because he's a true Democrat."
Cheers followed the mention of each
name, culminating in a roar of ap
plause as the speaker closed. Above
the roar someone shouted. "What'e the
matter with Bryan." Scattering cheers
responded, mingled with a few hisses
from some sections of the room. The
speaker caught his audience all to
gether, however, in another tide of en
thusiastic cheera when he shouted, 'Or
Bryan either. If he stands In the future
for the things he has stood for in the
past!" x
Ir. Harry l.aae Speaka.
Pr. Harry Lane spoke for more
power (jlven directly Into the bands of
the people, declaring It to be "the one
anchor to the whirlwind, that will pull
any party out of the quagmire of de
feat," Milton A. Miller. State Senator from
Linn County, the last speaker, severely
criticised the present tariff system,
and Incidentally took a fling at An
drew Carnegie.

WASHINGTON'. Jan. . After a lapse
of more than ten years American
troops are to Invade China. They are
to aid in keeping open the railroad
from Pekln to the sea.
In the course of eight or nine days,
too regular Infantry will be disem
barked at the little Chinese pert of
Chin Wang Tao.
The movement was ordered after ma
ture consideration of the policy In
volved In landing American troops In
a foreign country under the peculiar
conditions now existing In China.
Powers Give latlsaatloa.
Several days ago Minister Calhoun
Intimated that some of the other pow
ers were looking to tne United States
to contribute a quota cf troops to meet
treaty obligations to keep open com
munication between the capital and
coast. It required the Intervening time
to develop the exact needs of the situa
tion and It waa not until today that
Minister Calhoun was able to inform
the State Department that 600, troops
would suffice to discharge the obliga
tion of the United States.
It was near the close of the official
day when the State Department's re
quest for the dispatch of troops had
reached the War Department, but a
cablegram to Major-General Bell, was
dispatched within a few minutes after
it had been approved by Secretary
Stlmson and signed by Major-General
Wood, chief of staff, instructing him
to dispatch the force, together with
a hospital corps detachment.
Kltteeatb lafantry Probable Choice.
It Is understood that the Fifteenth
Infantry will be called upon to supply
the troops, who will be embarked on
the transport Thomas.
Reports that armistice had been ar
ranged to prevent a renewal of the
fighting between the republicans and
the Imperialists In China was welcomed
at the State Department as Indicating
that there waa still hope for the con
clusion of peace, though it Is feared
that this can be arranged only on the
basis of more division of the existing
empire.
When attention was called to the
action of Russia in asserting an In
dividual Interest In the future of Mon
golia a fact reported to the State De
partment by Minister Calhoun through
the delivery of the notice to that ef
fect from the Chinese foreign office
It was pointed out that the virtual
dismemberment of China already had
begun.
Though no official notice has been
taken of this latest development. It
is taken to mean that the course
adopted by Russia has given rise to
grave forebodings as Indicating the
breaking down, of the agreement be
tween the six powers to refrain from
the pursuit of any Individual advantage,
which was brought about through the
overture of the State Department
here.

damages. Smythe received serious in
juries near Stampede tunnel, July 28,
1910, when en rout from Athena to
Taooma with a shipment of sheep. In
his complaint Smyth alleges that at
the scene of the accident the train
came to a full stop and he went for
word to ascertain the conditton of his
stock.
He complains that the train started
without any warning, whereupon he
boarded the steps of one of the cattle
cars, from which, he alleges, he was
dislodged by the Jerking of the train.
Falling to the ground, he charges, he
sustained a double fracture of the
skull, also the right Jaw and three
ribs, while bis left hand and arm were
so bsdly crushed and mangled that the
member waa amputated at the shoul
der. Prominent lawyers have Ween en

am confident that I could convince all
bankers formerly opposed to the sys

said Mr. Carr. "Much of the early
money deposited was from secret
hoards, but they were soon exhausted
and It now principally comes from
persona who were either1 careless In
their savings or carried their money
around with them. Postmaster Mer

RAILWAY RUMORED SOLD
Southern Taclflc Said to Have Taken
Over Pacific Great Western.
EUGENE. Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) A
rumor Is being circulated In Eugene,
apparently with some degree of foun
dation, that the Pacific Great Western
Railroad, the line in course of con
struction from Eugene to Coos Bay, has
been sold to the Southern Pacific Com
pany. The report is based largely on
an account published in a Medford pa
per that L. A. Sumner, son of the chief
engineer of the Pacific Coast Line
Railroad, had made the remark:
"W.U. I guess we'll go home now;
the octopus has got us." The Inference
Is that "the octopus" referred to la the
Southern Pacific
Further credence Is given the report
from the fact that the crews of the
Paclf lo Great .Western have been re
called. What adds further to the be
lief, here In the report Is the fact that
I. II. Bingham, president of the Pacific
Great. Western, and Ralph Hunt, chief
engineer of the lins. left today for
Portland, ostensibly for a conference
with the Harrlman officials at the Ore
gon metropolis.
Whether this conference Is for the
purpose of negotatlng the details inci
dent to the transfer of tha holdings to
the Southern Pacific or Is to discuss
the right of way conflicts between the
two roads which have arisen is a mat
ter of speculation.
Up to this time the Pacific Great
Western has been regarded as a Hill
road, which was In direct competition
with the Southern Pacific Actual con
atructlon work is now Just about to
begin, contracts having recently been
awarded by the mysterious road to
New York contractor.
I. H. Bingham, president of the Pa
cific Great Western, denied last night
a the Imperial Hotel that either he or
Mr. Hunt was In Portland on business
connected with the Pacific Great West
em. "There Is no truth In the reported
sale." he said. "We have no such move
even In contemplation. Nor are we here
to discuss with the Southern Paelflo of
ficials the matter of right of way con
flicts. Our road has been continually
connected with rumors based on no
truth.-- .

this will necessitate a rise In the price
of oil. because it will make the deliv
ery of all kinds of oil through the city
much more difficult and expensive.
The question of publio dances will
also be up for decision, as the license
committee last week recommended the
cancellation of all dancehall licenses
by means of a measure forbidding pub

A large grist of other business will
be up for consideration at the session.

FIGURES ARE
STARTLING
But Science Is Getting- Consump
tion Under Control, All
the Same.
When you read that 150,000 persons
die In this country every year of Con
sumption, don't think that the disease
Is getting the better of curative meas
ures. The death-rate from Consumption,
still high enough, goodness knows, baa
been cut In half in two generations.
Today, we know how to handle Con
sumption. With fresh air, cleanliness, diet and
Ozomulsion, we can get the death-rate
away down and keep It down.
Besides forming fat. and improving
the condition of the blood, Oxomulsion
strengthens the nervous and muscular
systems.
Its value as a medicinal food entitles
it to a place of honor tin the bill of
fare, not merely of every consumptive,
but of every one whose waning energy
and wasting flesh give warning that
tuberculosis Is near.
Taste and digestion, which rebels
against many other fat-forming foods,
welcomes Ozomulsion.
