Mr. Mulkey will arrange Immediately
for circulating the necessary nominal

opponents are Ben Selling, the Pro
gressive Republl':an nominee, and Dr.
Harry Lane, on the Democratic ticket.
"In announcing my candidacy at this
time." said Mr. Mulkey. yesteray,
am simply falling in line with the po
sition taken vby Theodore Roosevelt.
who. In an Interview published today,
declared for the organization of a third
party that shall be separate and dls
tinct from existing political organiza
tions.
Support I Expected.
"A new party to be effective must
have representation In Congress. In
offering myself as a candidate of the
National Progressives for the Senator
ship I feel that I am entitled to the
tnnnnrt of the progressives of Oregon,
h.raiiKo of mv oast activities for Mr.
Roosevelt In this state. My record
upon the question of the right of the
people to participate directly In politi
cal affairs is an open dook.
"At thl time, however, neither party,
in my opinion, stands for those funda
mental principles that will successfully
solve present-day economic ana inaus
trtui nrohlems. I still agree with the
Republican party on the great principle
of protection to American industry, the
age-earner and tha larmer. out i m
lieve in a revision of the tariff down
ward to that point that American In
dustry will so operate that a proper
equilibrium will be maintained between
capital and labor.
When a tariff schedule so disturbs
that equilibrium as to cause the bulk
f nrr.Ht tn flow to capital, then I
think that schedule should be Tevised
to obviate that objection. However. 1
propose going more into detail in a few
days as to Just where I stand on politi
cal issues. I shall prepare and issue
my formal platform In a few oays.
Industrial Strife I.oomm.
"Senator Bailey, of Texas, was re
cently reported to have said that the
progressives of the United States were
fast bringing the country to the con
dition of France at the time of the
French Revolution. In that Senator
Bailey Is undoubtedly wrong. This
country will be confronted with an in
dustrial revolution unless something is
done. The causes of that revolution
will be the amassing of the large per
centage of the wealth of the country
In the hands of a few.
"It la this amassing that the pro
gressives are seeking to prevent and
they are seeking to prevent it by con
stitutional means and by a modification
but not a rejection of the Individualis
tic plan as distinguished from the So
cialistic." Mr. Mulkey is a native of Portland,
the son of a pioneer family that came
to Oregon in 1849. He was a member
of the. Portland City Council from
100 to 102. serving the concluding
yar of his term as president of that
bodv. In 1905-08. he was a member
and chairman of the State Tax Com
mission, which drafted the present tax
laws of the state:
Former Plurality 00,000.
In 1906. Mr. Mulkey was elected
United States Senator from Oregon to
fill the unexpired term of Senator
Mitchell. Mr. Mulkey and Senator
Bourne, who was elected in the same
election, were the first two Senators
chosen In this state by statement No.
1. In the election. Mr. Mulkey received
a. plurality of approximately 60.000.
Mr. Mulkey managed the Roosevelt
campaign in this state last Spring and
materially assisted in carrying the

ality of 500. Mr. Mulkey attended the
recent Republican National convention
at Chicago, but upon returning to Ore
gon, denounced the methods employed
In securing the nomination of Taft
At the same time he announced his
withdrawal from the Republican party

UNITED WORKMEN
PROPOSE FUSION
Union of Oregon and Washing
ton Orders Talked at
Grand Lodge.
BIG DELEGATION PRESENT
Reports Show Wisdom of State in
Withdrawing From National Or
ganization Because of Over
Taxation, Is Assertion.
The opening of the thirtieth conven
tion of the Grand Lodge of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen took place
yesterday morning In the assembly
rooms of the Hotel Multnomah, when
delegates from 86 lodges were present,
representing a large percentage of the
lodges In the order.
Judge George T. Baldwin, of Klamath
Falls. Grand Master, presided. The
forenoon session was devoted to the
reports from committees and the bear
ing of resolutions.
At the afternoon session it was
recommended that an official organ
should be published. The rest of the
day was taken up with the introduc
tion of visiting members of the Wash
ington Grand Lodge, and the subse
quent hearing of addresses by them, lrq
which they advocated the fusion or the
two independent states into one. The
election of officers and the vote on the
question of the consolidation of the
two states will be taken today.
Finance Are Satisfactory.
The finances of the order were re
ported, and showed a satisfactory con
dition. In the reserve fund is $215.
8S8.53, with surplus in the beneficiary
fund of J13.277.66 after all claims have
been paid. Tn the Interest fund there
is a total of 1365.71 and a balance In
the general coffers of $486.66, making
a grand total of $225,884.74.
An Important point in this connec
tion Is that the order has more than
$60,000 In excess of its legal reserve.
The medical report showed that In
the last two years there had been 151
deaths, with 226 applications for new
membership. R. L. Durham, president
of the Merchants' National bank, the
Grand Receiver, reported the securities
as first-class, adding that the interests
were all promptly met.
Running through all the reports was
an Indication of the healthy condition
of the order.
After a special vote had been taken,
the four visiting members from the
Washington Grand Lodge, Grand Mas
ter Workman J. II. Berge, J. H. Hemer,
grand recorder; L. F. Hart, of Tacoma,
chairman of the law committee, and C.
E. Bowman, editor of the Washington
Emblem, were permitted to appear be
fore the members of the Oregon order.
All made powerful speeches In favor
of the amalgamation, of the two Inde
pendent states, showing that the cli
mate of the two was almost Identical,
while the health conditions were prac
tically similar.
Withdrawal Provea Wise.
The visitors represent some 6500
Workmen in their state, while there
are In Oregon approximately aouu
members. Two years ago the Oregon
Jurisdiction withdrew from the Na
tional order on account of overtaxation
In comparison with Its health condi
tions. Other states not so healthy as
Oregon received a greater proportion
of the money, and the large surplus
possessed by this state today is ad
vanced as a proof of the wisdom of the
body In withdrawing from the National
order.
Washington became independent
onlv a year ago, but its officers declare
that more than satisfactory progress
has been made since then, showing, in
their opinion, that the states can -more
than exist independently, if necessary,
though they advocate the fusion of
states on the Pacific Coast which have
similar conditions of health and cli
mate. It was decided, among other things,
that the next meeting of the lodge
would be In April, 1915. instead of in
July. The Balary - of . the grand re
corder was raised yesterday from $1600
to $1800 a year. At the afternoon ses
sion a telegram announced the death
of Professor A. L. Clark, of Seaside
Lodge. Resolutions of condolence were
passed.
Order Dates From. 1879.
The first session of the order was
held In 1879. The order then embraced
Washington. British Columbia and
Oregon. Shortly afterwards each
formed a separate Jurisdiction, hold
ing their conventions annually. Oregon
decided six years ago to change the
convention from an annual one to a
bi-ennlal affair, partly with a view to
avoiding the expense of a yearly meet
ing. "Six years ago." said Ralph Feeney.
"a level rate plan, formulated by the
New York actuary. Miles Dawson, was
adopted, which bears a full life insur
ance on a level rate man. carrying with
it, after three years' membership, a
choice of three propositions.
"Every member has vested right In
the reserve fund, unlike many oene
ficiary orders, which have merely a
general fund.
"During the last two years the order
has paid eight or 10 claims by mem
bers who were unfortunate enough
not to be able to pay their assessments.
The claims, however, were paid in full,
as they had sufficient reserve.
- Order la Unattached. .
"The Ancient Order of United Work
men in Oregon is strictly an Oregon
institution, incorporated under the
state laws of Oregon and one of the
healthiest states In the Union. It does
not solicit membership in any other
state. It has a surplus of nearly $250,
000 and a membership of 3500, so that
it can be seen readily enough that the
order Is in a prosperous condition, a
claim rarely going over 30 days and
often being settled within two weeks."

DEGREE OP HOXOK IX SESSION
Proposal Prom National Body Is
Turned Down in Oregon.
While the Ancient Order of United
Workmen was1 holding its biennial
convention in the assembly rooms of
the Multnomah Hotel, the grand lodge
of the Degree of Honor, which Is the
women's auxiliary, met in the ballroom
on the opposite side of the hotel for
their 19th reunion.
The main business of the session was
to consider the advisability of nation
alizing the beneficiary department of
Its organization. In spite of an appeal
by Mrs. Frances B. Olson, of St. Paul,
Minn., superior chief of the Degree of
Honor in the United States, It was de
cided, practically unanimously, that the
beneficiary department should remain
a state organization.
Though this wis a surprise to some,
it was known by many that the healthy
financial condition of the department,
coupled with the healthy condition of
the State of Oregon, would be a power
ful point in favor of retaining the de
partment as a state organization.
At the same time the order in Oregon
recognizes the officers of the National
order as its superiors, differing in this
respect from its fraternal order, which
has cut adrift entirely from the Na-
LlOilUl U1UC1.
' In the morning the grand lodge de
gree was conierreo upon io aeiegaics.
Mrs. Olson made a powerful appeal to
the 75 delegates and an equal number
of visiting members, .pointing out the
a rf itlninc th narftnt bodv.
She pointed out that no less than 20
states had already amalgamates ineir
beneficiary work, and she urged the
ctA rtf nrfrnn tn unite with the oth
ers in widening the foundations upon
which women ontam tneir oeneni pol
icy. It was evident that the unhealthy
..njutnna in nme of the affiliated
states as compared with the magnifi
cent record In tnat repeci oi wie
of Oregon, was mainly responsible for
the decided overthrow of the pro
posal, while the strong financial condi
tion of the local state s Deneucmry of
rtm.ni ft nrnnf that it can stand
alone, was another factor in Its de
feat. There are altogether in Oregon 66
lodges, with a roll last month of 1961
members and a benefit reserve of al
most $50,000. 1

"Aren't you Mrs. Mike Mareena?"
"Yes," replied the girl as her stage
companions stood . speechless with
amazement.
"Well. I'll be blowed." finally said
Ralph Lynn, the English comedian of
