The unmistakable indorsement of President Taft manifested by an audi ence of 2100 people at the Armory Monday night, coupled with numeroua optimistic telea-rama that reached head quarters yesterday, reassured the mem bers of the Portland Taft committee of the soundness of their prediction that the President would carry the state In Friday's primary election. The masterful address of Dr. John Wesley Hill at the Armory. In which he forcibly presented the claims of the President to a second terra, had the effert not only of solidifying the Taft forces but attracted to his support many Toters who hud either been In different as to his candidacy or were passively supporting Roosevelt or La. Toilette. "Had splendid meeting- here tonight. Kvery county I visited will be be for Taft." Such was the text of a telegram that reached W. M. Ayer. chairman of the Portland Taft committee, from Ralph D. Cole. eox-Representatlre In Congress from Ohio, who spoke In behalf of Taft at Enterprise Monday night.

La Follette votes were taken from Roosevelt. The Taft forces were solidified. Taft campaign In good shape. Have no fear for us." "No seed to worry about us. Old Crook la for Taft." came another reassuring- message from Prlnevllle. These telegraphic messages were supplemented yesterday by numerous letters and verbal reports by Republi cans represent In s; other counties, all showing that the candidacy of Presi dent Tift la In strong favor among the Republicans In nearly every county and with every Indication that he will win. KEXTICRT KL1CK DECX1XKD Irr. Harry Lane Refuses to Accept Indorsement. In a statement Issued yesterday. Dr. Harry Lane. Democratic candidate for United rUates Senator, declined the indorsement of the Kentucky Kllck. Dr. Lane couches his declination of the In dorsement of thla organization In the following sarcastic terms: Mr at-entlon has been called to the fart that the sentleman who. about election trraea. denofntnaiea himself The Kentucky Xltr-.k." has Indorsed nay candidacy for the nomination tor the t'nlted Ktafe Panaeor ehtp on some sort of a mongrel platform. Rearing- thai someone might take the said Indorsement of myself by the "Kentucky Kllck" serlooslr. I would like to ear that I hare no relatione of any sort with the kllck and that f decline to allow myself to be saddled wtth the burden of his or Its In dersetnent. Were It not for the fact that I am en friendlr terms with the gentlemen who are running asmlnet me for the nomination and bear them no lll.wltl, I would endeavor. If ft could he dene, to "saw It off" onto one er the ether of those gentlemen. Voters to Mil Vacancies.

Thousands of people suffer from bald ness and falling hair who. having tried nearly every advertised hair tonic and hair-grower without results, have re signed themselves to baldness and Its attendant discomfort. Yet their case is not hopeless; the following simple homo prescription has made hair grow aftr years of baldness, and is also un equaled for restoring gray hair to Its original color, stopping hair from fail ing out, and destroying the dandruff germ. It will not make the hair greasy, and can be put up by any druggist: Bay Rum. 6 ounces: Lavona de Compose. I ounces: Menthol Crystals, one-half drachm. If you wish it perfumed, add half to one teaspoonful of To-Kalon Perfume, which unites perfectly with the other ingredients. This prepara tion is highly rei-ommended by physi cians and specialists, and is absolutely harmless, as it contains none of the poisonous wood alcohol so frequently found In hair tonics. Do not apply to the far-e or where hair Is not desired. If you drink because of a craving for stimulants if you've reached the stage where nothing will satisfy excepting rough, high-proof, strong whiskey our story is not for you. But if it's mellowness, age and flavor you're looking for you'll like Cyrus Noblee Because it's pure because it's palatable because you don't have to dilute it with water to be able to swallow it. It costs no more than any other good whiskey. W. J. Van Schuyver & Co., General Agents, Portland.
