Mr. fisher said he had entered
President Taft's t'ab'net "because
nothing but a lack of confidence In the
sincerity and high purpose of Presl
dent Taft would Justify a refusal of
Ms call."
"Iier Oaer Far Rawsetelt.
"T became president of the Conseiva

P.oosevelt for President when he was

Governor of New York. I was one of
a little group of enthusiasts In the city
of Chicago who flung to the breeze
a banner Inscribed, 'for President n

He said his confidence In Mr Koose

promotion of public welfare.
"I understand Senator La FolU-tte re

Nebraska because Nebraska people are
progressive,'" said Mr. Fisher. "That

about the so-called "progressive poll

nomination for President.
President Is Ml re pretest erf.
"I believe that the position of Preai
dent Taft with regard to them has been
misunderstood and misrepresented. I
myself have l ad the distinction of be
ing under suspicion by both radicals
and reactionaries. My claim to being
a "progressive is based, not upon mere
advocacy of the progressive polities In
a theoretical and academic way. but
upon practical efforts to secure definite
results, especially In the movements for
the short ballot, the direct primary, the
referendum and the recall."
Secretary Fisher said President Taft
had taken a progressive attitude upon
all these ouestion. "He believes in
reducing the number of elective offices.
whlch Is the 'short ballot." he said.
"He believes In the direct primary and
the Presidential preference at the di
rect primary: he believes In the In
creasing but conservative use of the
referendum, and the only application of
the recall which he has opposed Is the
recall of Judges."
Reeall I Mae a Obscured.
"I'pon all thee questions." said Mr.
Fisher, " genuinely progressive" men dis
agree about the form in which and
the extent to which these changes in
governmental methods should be adopt
ed by the states. To make them the test
In the selection of a Republican nom
inee for the primary Is to divide men
who should t together. The real Is
sues of next November are to he Fed
eral Issues, such .as the tariff and the
regulation of the trusts.
"Here again the differences between
the miMtmt reformer and the con
structive statesmen Is well lllustrntcd
in the nttitudo and action of the Prei-W-nt.
His tariff commission has, fbr
the first time, given to Congress and
the country the real fact upon which
constructive tariff legislation can he
framed. I think it Is entirely within
bounds to Mate that no one of the
President's critics has made a success
ful or even serious attack upon these
reports."

more than the bill carried when it
passed the House and $2.i2.S25 more

Senator 1-odue said It had been Inserted

preferable to submission to coercion.
The House provision was rejected yes

The Army bill was brought up unex

BRYAN'S STATE INVADED
Oh loan Mention Xo One by Xante,
but I - Severe In Criticism of
Progressive'" Associate in
First Campaign.
OMAHA. April 12. Governor Har
mon, of Ohio, delivered a spirited ad
dress here tonight In reply to critic
isms of his public record and the as
sertion that he waa a "reactionary.
He resented aa a slanier the intima
tion that he stood for or permitted
special privileges "an offense little
short of' treason In the eyes of the
Democrats" and declared the charge
that he took part In the sale of Gov
ernment bonds while a Cabinet officer
was mere wantonness.
Governor Harmon's visit to Omaha
followed an announcement that Wil
liam J. Bryan would speak In Ohio In
opposition to Governor Harmon. Mr.
Harmon did not mention the name of
the N'ebraskan, but said: '.
"The good people of Ohio will bear
me out when I say, as I do. that not In
a generation have their affairs been
so honestly, fairly, economically and
capably managed as they have been
by the present Democratic Administra
tion. It is because Jeffcrsonlan prin
ciples were practiced and not merely
prated about."
Falsehoods Are lenoneed.
In beginning. Governor Harmon said:
"I am here by the invitation of my
good friends in Nebraska, and, while I
am always averse tb speaking about
myself, I feel that it is due to them
to speak "of some matters of a public
nature about which falsehoods have
been circulated so wholly unfounded
that persistence in them cannot be as
cribed to proper motives. It would not
be necessary to do this at home..
"There has been no retraction of the
published statement that I took part
In a sale of Government bonds which
occurred months before I entered the
Cabinet, and as the facts are matters
of public record, making the charge
without inquiry was mere wantonness.
"My first election as Governor, when
Ohio went Republican by almost 70,
000 majority, was due to the knowl
edge of my public services and the be
lief by the people of Ohio that their
continuance would bring about reforms
which had become urgent.
League Severely Criticised.
"One of these related to favoritism
and grafting in connection with the
deposit In banks of the public money.
While I was making the campaign
largely on these matters, one of my
associates on the ticket, as was after
ward learned, was trying to better Ills
prospects by promising deposits, in
case of his elections, to bankers who
would give him support by votes or
contributions. This man is now noisily
'progressive,' and fabrlcator-in-chief of
a 'league, at whose first meeting the
doorkeeper wjis under indictment for
bribery in the legislature and is now
In the Penitentiary.
"Some members of this league are
known to be lobbyists, brokers and
dealers In illicit favors with the ring
which long disgraced the Republican
party In Ohio. The progress' they want
Is backward, like the crabs, to the
fruitful times when they swapped
votes they could control In the Legis
lature with the bosses on the other
side in return for advantages of some
sort to themselves. '
Reforwja Deelared Necessary.
The speaker discussed National af
fairs, and, referring to the President,
said he never could understand how
anybody could rest content with being
a mere place-holder while economies
and practical reforms were Suggesting"
themselves all around him.
"And to stand for special privileges
or advantages of any kind through the
action of a Government, maintained by
all the people for their equal benefit.
Is an offease little short of treason in
the eyes of Democrats, he said.
"The intimation that I ever was or
could be actively or passively guilty
of this offense I resent as a slander
without excuse or mitigation.
"It Is said, and I think truthfully,
that r have the confidence of the men
who conduct the business enterprises,
great anil small, which have done so
much to make Ohio what she is, and If
the same be true of like men through
out the country I am glad to know It.
"The weakness of the Republican
party Is that it has become tho party
of a class. The strength of the Demo
cratic party is that It has never been
the parly of any class.
"Is it now proposed to chance all
khls? Are we to nominate for Presi
dent someone whom the men of busi
ness all over the country fear or dis
trust? The answer depends chiefly on
ourselves. There is no sound reason
for serious disagreement among Dem
ocrats.'' Raslaesa Mrs Cautioned.
The meeting of the Commercial Club
this nfternoon was well attended.
"We have too much business in our
politics and not enough politics in our
business."' declared the Governor. "Pub
lic affairs should receive the uttentlon
of nil business men to the end that a
few may not profit illegally.
"One great problem that wo must
meet today Is the government of our
cities, for It is there thHt the great
est problems of taxation arise and
where the government enters into the
life of the people."
The Governor's meeting tonight was
enthusiastic and the big auditorium
was crowded. The Governor received
a warm reception.

GREAT ORE RESERVES SOOJT TO
BE IJf DEMAXD.
Expert Tells House Committee That
Plants on Pacific Coast Will
. Come Before long.
WASHINGTON. April 1 J. A proph
esy that the ores held by the United
States Steel Corporation would be ex
hausted witMn 25 or SO years and that
the natural resources of the Far West
would be utilised was made today be
fore the House steel trust committee,
by Joseph Sellwood. an ore expert, who
says he has scoured the North Ameri
can continent in search of merchant
able ore.
Mr. Sellwood said that in Utah thre
were known to be 1.000,000.000 tons of
merchantable ore. This ore can be
used to make steel Just as well as any
other ore, but It Is not near coke, coal
or fluxing material, he said.
"But." continued Mr. Sellwood. "there
is a great market in- the West for steel
and a growing market In the Central
West, and the time will come when it
will be practical to ship that western
ore east or to ship from the East the
coak and coal."
Several years ago Mr. Sellwood ex
plored the Utah ores for James J. iiiu,
the late John W. Gates and the late E.
H. Harriman. They considered these
ores a reserve.
"'How long do you think the Utah
ores will be considered merely a re
serve?" asked Representative Gardner.
"Probably 25 years."
Mr. Sellwood thought the time would
come when it would be practical to
build steel plants on the Pacific Coast
and told of when Gates and others Baa
considered the erecting of a steel mill
at Los Angeles. v ith the completion
of the Panama Canal, the availability
of the Western ore. It was said, would
increase. '
Mr. Sellwood said there were deposits
of 53 per cent metallic iron st Loose
Mountain. Ont.. aggregating luu.wuu,
000 tons and at Antikoken. Ont.. 10.-
noo.000 tons. In New Foundland and
Nova Scotia, he said, there were simi
lar deposits with which he was not
familiar. Ore deposits in Alaska, ne
said, should be discounted. From hear
say he said he would estimate the
merchantable ores In Alabama at l.ouu.
000,000 tons.

Panama Project Held to Mean Sav

Each Year. '
HEPPNER. Or., April 12. (Special.)
Upon no occasion since Ralph D. Cole,
ex-Congressman from Ohio, began his
tour of Oregon in behalf of President
Taft has he been greeted with such a
demonstration of real enthusiasm as
was shown here tonight by the Re
publicans, who gathered at the Star
Theater from all over Morrow County
and listened to a lively discourse on
the President's Panama Canal policies
and their relation to the future wel
ware of the Inland Empire of Oregon.
Producing figures based upon the
actual rates as they then will bei, it
was shown that shipping costs for the
million and a half bushels of wheat,
the two and a half million pounds of
wool and the vast quantities of live
stock andV other commodities sent out
of Morrow County annually, will be
reaucea more than 100 per cent.
Committee Traders Banquet.
Mr. Colo arrived here from Hood
River this afternoon and was met at
the depot by a committee, comprising
W. W. Smead. chairman of the Mor
row County Taft committee; C. E.
Woodson and T. J. Mahoney. He was
taken to the Palace Hotel, where the
Taft committee tendered him a ban
quet. Fifty Republicans enjoyed an
elaborate spread and listened to short
addresses by Colonel Newport, of Her
ralston. and C. E. Woodson, of Hepp
ner. T. J. Mahoney acted as toast
master. At the night mass meeting Mr. Cole
was introduced by W. W. Smead.
The speaker went straight Into the
fanama Canal subject. "I have al
ways been greatly interested In the
benefits the Panama Canal will bring
about," said Mr. Cole. "In coming
up nere xoaay i was greatly surprised
to learn of the vast amount of ship
ping dpne In Morrow County and I
can assure you that It is for your ben
efit to support a President who sup
ports and advocates better and cheaper
transportation. I am reliably in
formed that wool from Morrow County
can be shipped by rail now In bales foe
$1.65 a hundred pounds. By water it
will be possible to ship it for 65 cents
a hundred pounds. This means an
Immense amount annually to Morrow
County and on a comparative basis
means untold millions to all Oregon.
Canal Will Affect Coast.
"No Governmental project is more
vitally related to the material' pros
perity of the Pacific Coast to the East
than the Panama Canal. You must
remember that prosperity Is progres
sive, essential to National peace and
happiness. President Taft is the mas
ter mind which has shaped the policy
of the Government in the prosecution
of this great work. He had been
trained for the performance of this
task. His vast experience In dealing
with grave problems of state gave as
surance of the great success which has
crowned his efforts.
"The wisdom of William McKinley
selected Judge Taft out pt a' multitude
of available men to establish law and
order In the Philippine Islands. We
had taken possession of the archi
pelago when the authority of Spain
was destroyed by Dewey and Interna
tional law vested this republic with
certain obligations.
"It thenybecame our duty to protect
the life and property of all nations
against pillage and rapine. After
order had been somewhat restored by
the military arm of the Government, it
was necessary to establish a civil gov
ernment. The task was a serious one,
for which the history of America fur
nished no precedent." .

Letcher, at Chihuahua, to Treat Gen

CHIHUAHUA, April 12. United
States Consul Letcher, stationed here,
is not the American Consul as far as
General Pascual Orozco, commander-
in-chief of the rebel army, is con
cerned.
General Orozco made this statement
In the course of an interview today.
He said that Inasmuch as the United
States Government does not recognize
the belligerency or the liberals, the lat
ter cannot recognize him In his offi
cial capacity. And anyway, he added,
he does not like the tone and language
of certain communications from Mr.
Letcher.
Mr. Letcher was not perturbed vis
ibly when informed of his official os
tracism, for no matter how official
General Orozco might wish to have
their relations, the Consul can treat
the General merely as a Mexican citi-
xen. notwithstanding his real impor
tance as the present master of most of
Northern Mexico.
