COMMITTEES ARE ACTIVE "Word Reaches II eadqna tiers In This City That Auxiliary Organisa tion Are Formed in Tilla mook, Yamhill, Wheeler. Taft sentiment Is especially' strong throughout Eastern Oregon, but In no section Is It more pronounced than In Morrow County. This was manifested yesterday when W. W. 6 mead, chairman of the Taft committee In that county, by letter requested of th Portland Taft committee a second supply of Taft nominating petitions. Several days ago the committee sent Mr. Sraead 76 Individual sheets of the nominating petition, each sheet having room for 20 algnaturea. It was thought by th committee that they would suf flcs to accommodate all Republicans at Heppner and vicinity. Tha original supply of petition sheets waa duplicat ed yesterday. Editor laderaea Plana. Th same measure of enthusiasm and co-operation is marked In Umatilla In a letter to the Taft committee yes terday John P. McManus, editor of the Pilot Rock Reoord. heartily Indorsed th plan of th Taft commltte In form ing auxiliary organisation In each of the several counties. "Everything considered. President Taft has made an excellent record," wrote Mr. McManus, "and I can see no reason why Republicans generally should not give him heartiest support in his effort for a renoralnstlon and a re-election." Circulators of Taft nominating peti tions In this city are securing many signatures. In less than four days, two circulators have obtained approximate ly 1600 signatures. Th number of Re publicans that refuse to sign the peti tion 1 decidedly small. Mere Committees Formed.

Organized labor, aa It la represented through the Worklngmen's Political Club. Is In a deadlock over inaorsemem of a candidate for District Attorney. Friends of Seneca Fouts, who naa lor some time been bidding for the sup port of the trades unionists on th rrenrtn or tne jnrx inat ne once nem a card In the clgarmakers' union, at a meeting of this political organization last Wednesday night, made a stubborn and insistent fight to land for him la bor's Indorsement for nomination aa prosecuting officer. After a decidedly stormy se-aalon the club decided to withhold any Indorsement of Fouts. ' It waa learned yesterday that an ele ment of trades unionists In the city la reeolved to resist any Indorsement of Fouts' candidacy. Discussing the sub ject yesterday, a prominent labor man said th impression prevailed among many members of the unions that the reoord of Fouts waa such that It would be a serious mistake for them to get behind Fouts. or In any official way to recognize and approve bis candidacy. It is for this reason that the Indorse ment requested by Fouts waa with held. - Tha probability Is that the labor or ganizations will refuse to give an In dorsement to any of th candidates for District Attorney. Because of the di vided sentiment, an Indorsement of any candidate at best would not commit better than a minority of the labor voters to that candidate. ' It has been decided by the Working men's Political Club to support for Stat Representative the business agnt of the carpenters. R. O. Rector, who Is also a member of Mayor Rushlight's executive board. Mr. Rector has con cluded to be a candidate for this Legis lative office on the Republican ticket. Although the club has officially in dorsed Laffetry for Representative from this district, there Is a strong fol lowing In the ranks of labor that Is openly supporting Ralph C. Clyde. Those back of Clyde base their support of him on the ground that he always has been friendly to organized labor, and was Its especial champion In the House of Representative at the last session of the Oregon Legislature. It was through Clyde that virtually every measure In the Interest of labor was Introduced In the House. Other Indorsements by this club In clude William H. Fitzgerald, of the Cl garmakers' Union, for Sheriff; Walde mar Seton for Circuit Judge; Fred W. Prasp, of the Musicians, for County Clerk; J. H. Jones for Justice of the Peace; C. M. Rynerson and A. D. Crldge. of the Typographical Union, for dele gates to the Republican and Democratlo National conventions, respectively. ELLIS IS OCT AS CANDIDATE Pendleton: Man Is Fourth to Seek Congressional Poet. - After passing two weeks in this city oonsultlng with friends and political advisers, W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, ad mitted yesterday that h would be a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for Representative lni Congress from the Second District. For a num ber of years Mr. Ellis served as Cir cuit Judge In Eastern Oregon and was also a member of Congress for some time. He was a candidate for this same office In the primary election In 110, but waa defeated by A. W. Lef ferty. "In response to th requests of my friends all over the district either in person or by letter, I have concluded to beoome a candidate for Representa tive," said Mr. Kills yeBterday. "I ex pect to announce definitely tha plat form on which I shall seek nomina tion and election early next week." Mr. Ellis is the fourth Republican to enter the contest for this nomination. It has been known for some time that the Pendleton man was seriously con sidering making th race, but it was not until last week, when N. J. Slnnott. State Senator from Wasco County, an nounced his candidacy, that Ellis made up his mind to make the game a four handed affair. In addition to Slnnott, th other aspirants for this office among th Republican voters of East ern Oregon sre John P. Rusk and George T. Cochrane, both of La Grande. Cnlon Man Would Be Solon. Ralph O. Rector, of 975 Gladstone avenue, a member of Mayor Rush light's Executive Board, yesterday filed at the Courthouse notice of his can didacy for State Representative. Mr. Rector Is also business agent for a local union. He declares that he Is In favor of tax reform, good roads, fewer laws and less "logrolling" during the session of the Legislature, reform In the school laws and the passage of a measure to "eliminate the graft and In justice which labor suffers from com mercial employment agencies." Bis slogan is,. "More people's power by di rect vote, tax reforms.

For a second time In two days J. H.

When policemen In plain clothes entered the place and took, seats at a table, a waiter approached them, they report, and first asked them what they would have to drink. He brought sandwiches as a matter of course, but most of the drinkers, say the police, used the sandwiches for ash trays. Ignoring the warning, Krall, afr having his case set over, continued serving drinks without meals, to men and women alike, and the second ar rest followed. The police will also charge a violation of the ordinance from the fact that the room is in an "L." shape, not allowing a full view from the front. Both cases will be tried Monday.
