BY ROSCOB FAWCETT,
Portland prodded Musser and Ehmke
for 18 solid whacks before a Sunday
crowd of 3500 yesterday and won from
the Angels, hands down. In the final
game of the series, score to to 4.
It was just such a game as Portland
might have staged along about mid
week. The Angels couldn't hit Higgin
botham and they couldn't field, and
about all they could do, was to rag at
thA Unilllrpu n-n tri-vrlol mnfn..
Manager Dillon proved an adept at
this form or attack and as a result took
tais shower bath about 45 minutes ahead
of his henchmen. Finney banished him
in the seventh, after the umD had called
Meek out on a third strike that ticked
his cap.
While Umpire Finney was busy
parsing Dillon's idioms, numerous
Portland batsmen were reducing Mus
ser and Ehmke to lowest denomina
tlons.
Lober and Ryan Lead Bombardment.
Lober and ft van led in thA hnmhard.
ment. each fattening his batting aver
age to the extent of three safeties.
But there were no backward ones at
all on the McCredie payroll. The boys
J ail went out while the picking was
good, and they found the Anegelic
flingers about as soft as one of Con
: cessionalre Metzger's Ice cream cones
; after It has been peddled around in
the sunshine for 30 minutes.
Musser lasted three Innings and a
fraction; also a fracture. The ex
Washlngtonian left in the mid-section
of the fourth, with three runs already
across and two men on the bases.
Then entered one Howard Ehmke,
famous as the winner of seven straight
games and also famous because of
the class he once showed in curling
his six feet three inches in a two foot
. desk at high school in Glendale, Cal.
Ehmke didn't look like seven
, straight; in fact he didn't look like
six feet three straight.
Reputation Is Ignored.
The locals forgot all about their
moribund streak and began pummeling
Ehmke as if he had no reputation at
all. Try as he would, the 19-year-old
skyscraper could not Induce the Beaver
batsmen to let up. Ere the ninth in
ning came to a close the home team
had plucked 11 lusty clouts off his
pitching in five Innings.
Good fortune saved Ehmke, how
ever. Musser gets the defeat, with
four of the runs chargeable to his oc
cupancy. Only one of these was earned
as boots by Abstein and Bage In the
first inning let two in and a wide
heave by Boles added one in the fourth.
Portland's first earned run sailed
across in the fourth on Lober's first
double and singles by Fisher and Hlg
ginbotham.
, Others Are Added.
The Beavers added one In the fifth,
on hits by Doane and Ryan; three in
the sixth on Fisher's double, singles
by Bancroft and Rodgers, and' Doane's
triple; one in the seventh on Kores"
single, Maggert's error and Lober's
two-base swat, and, the final tally in
the eighth on Derrick's single and
Ryan's two-bagger.
Los Angeles scored one run in the',
first on Pages single and Abstein's
double; one in the seventh on Ellis'
double and an infield out, and, two in
the ninth when Higginbotham eased
up. Abstein singled, Johnson singled
and both crossed on Metzger's double
to deep center.
Shortstop Johnson, of the Angles,
was forced into retirement early in the
game. Doane spiked him sliding into
The series ended five games for the
visitors and two for Portland. Score:

At Seattle Seattle 4, Portland 1.

At Spokane Vancouver 4, Spokane 1.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 31. (Spe
cial.) Seattle and Vancouver still are
fighting neck and neck for first place
In the Northwestern League race. Bob
Brown's club stilt retains the lead of
seven points over Seattle, but should
it lose tomorrow against Portland and
Seattle win from Victoria, Raymond's
Giants will be In front by a margin of
seven points, the percentages being
.673 for Seattle and .660 for Vancou
ver. An odd feature of today's games was
that the two leading clubs each won by
the same score, Spokane falling before
Vancouver, 4 to 1- Portland just man
aging to get the one run in the ninth
that saved it from a shutout.
Win Is Kelly's Third.
Kelly's excellent pitching, backed by
clever fielding and the timely hitting
of Swain, Cadman, James and Ray
mond explain why Seattle won the sixth
consecutive victory from Portland and
the tenth consecutive victory for the
team. For Kelly, it was his third con
secutive win.
From the Portland side of the fence
It was a hard luck game nearly the
entire way. The team played good ball,
outhit Seattle, 10 to 8, and Brown
pitched well, yet it was not until after
two were out in the ninth that the Colts
got a run, which came over on Coltrin's
triple and Murray's double.
Colts Hit But Can't Score.
In five Innings the first Portland man
up hit but could not score. In two in
nings the first two Portland men at
bat hit safe, but still Kelly shut them
off "from the plate.
In the first three innings, however.
only one Colt reached first and that
was on a fumble by Fullerton after two
were out. Kelly responded to this up
set by striking out the next man. The
score:

full of holes as a sieve and almost
every time a visiting player connected

LOS ANGELES MAY
GET JOE GEDEON
Sensational Youngster Bought
From Washington and Only
Waivers Are Awaited.
2 CLUBS STRENGTHENED
Harry Wolverton Buys Billy Orr
From Athletics to Fill Hole at
Second and Harry Abies Will
Rejoin Oakland Team.
Joe Gedeon, sensational youngster
drafted from the San Francisco Seals
in the Fall of 1912, is to return to these
shores, according to reliable informa
tion given out by emissaries of "Pop"
Dillon, Los Angeles manager.
Gedeon has already been purchased
from the Washington Americans, and
all that is keeping the dogs of pub
licity off the scent is the matter of the
procuring waivers on the youngster.
Naturally Gedeon Is an outfielder,
but he participated in numberless
games in the infield for the Seals in
1912, and Dillon's plan is to use him
somewhere in the inner gardens, either
at second, third or short.
In 1912, when a green kid, Gedeon
hit .263 in the Coast League in 118
games. It is said that Dillon feels his
Angels are a trifle weak with the wil
low for pennant contenders, and if this
is true Metzger likely will be the ath
lete to be relegated to the bench. The
German is a. wonderful fielder, but
wofully lacking in stick work.
Angels Are Optimistic.
Whether or not Washington will be
able to procure waivers from the other
major league clubs. Is problematical.
but those on the inside in the Angel
camp seem to be hlsrhlv ontimistlc
Under the terms of the prospective
deal Gedeon is to come under an op
tional agreement. Clark Griffith wants
more work for his young star, and as
union is his brother-in-law he is will
ing to Intrust him to "Poo."
Last year in over 20 games Gedeon
hit .188 for Washington, being used ex
clusively m the outfield.
Two other Pacific Coast League teams
have been strengthened in the last
ween, Sacramento and Oakland.
Harry Wolverton has purchased Billy
orr irom tne pniiadelphla Athletics to
fill the hole at second base, while the
huge southpaw, Harry Abies, has de
cided to rejoin the Oakland pitching
corps.
Orr Considered Good.
Orr hit only .200 in the big show last
season, but he was considered good
enougn by Connie Mack to last the en
tire season. Mack drafted him from
Sacramento in the Fall of 1912.
Since early Spring Abies has been at
work on a Texas ranch, and consider
able mystery has shrouded his refusal
to report. Suddenly Harry teleerraDhed
Devlin a couple of days ago that he
was on the way, and the Goliath-is sure
to break in within the next week.
Up to last year, when Abies suffered
a broken bone in his pitching flipper,
the big Texan had been the mainstay
of the Oaks in the box. In 1911 Abies
and Bill Steen were tied for the pitch
ing premiership of the league.
Abies reporting will give the Oaks
one of the strongest flinging corps in
the circuit.

CHICAGO. May 31. Joe Benz pitched

(INCUMBENT)
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
I hereby declare myself a candidate before all the people, regardless of party
affiliations, for re-election to the office in which I am now, and for 3 years
last past have been, serving all the people, and in which I expect to serve all
the people for some years to come.
My name will be printed on the ballot in the regular way. Each voter, on
November S, will be given an opportunity to cast a ballot either approving or
disapproving my record in Congress.
Between now and election day I shall make such a campaign as I have never
made before. It is my candid belief that my defeat would postpone for at least
ten years a realization of National laws giving to the general public the pros
perity and share of wealth produced which It deserves. If defeat should be my
reward for drafting and fighting for such laws, no Congressman In the future
could be expected to take up the same fight.
These are some of the things I am fighting for:
1. The enforcement of the Oregon & California Railroad Land Grant, that
the majesty of a solemn Act of Congress may be upheld, and that thousands of
poor people in Oregon may have homes. I started this litigation September 16.
1907, pushed in to a favorable decision before Judge Wolverton In Portland July
1, 1913. and, while I am writing this announcement I am In San Francisco
fighting the case in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Ex-Senators Spooner
and Gearin and Hon. W. D. Fenton and Mr. Peter F. Dunne are here representing
the railroad. Mr. B. D. Townsend. who has represented the Attorney-General
since 1907. withdrew six weeks ago, and the Attorney-General Is represented
here by Mr. C. J. Smyth, of Omaha, and young Mr. Rabb. of Indiana. lately a
special agent of the Land Office at Portland. I am the only man originally in
the case against the railroad who is sticking to it, and I shall stick to the end.
2. For Government ownership of railroads, and Government or municipal
ownership of all other public monopolies, to the end that the per capita charge
for public utility service may be reduced in this country to cost, which would
mean a saving annually to each citizen of at least J50.
3. For agricultural asset currency, of exactly the same tenor and effect as
the commercial asset currency provided for in the recent currency law. except
that first mortgages on farms, not exceeding 50 per cent of the unimproved
value thereof, shall be taken as security by the Government in place of per
sonal notes, to the end that the 500,000,000 annual Interest which our people
are now paying to the Money Power, through the farmers, shall go to the Gov
ernment to the people and not to the Rothschilds, Morgans and Rockefellers.
This bill alone would save the American people S3 a year each. Nobody would
be hurt except the Money Power, which is now loaning "credit" to the farmers.
The farmers have borrowed eight billions of dollars, while there are only
13,500,000.000 In existence in the U. S.. or but little more than a third of the
amount the farmers alone have borrowed. The Government is better equipped
to act as fiscal agent, hold the securities, and extend the credit than is any
private bank. No wonder the Associated Press and the United Press, and their
newspapers, are fighting me. The money power controls the news channels
of this country. It would be idiotic not to do so, since it has the price.
4. For a law making all press associations common carriers, to the end that 1
any person or corporation may start a daily newspaper and compel the press
associations to furnish their out-of-town service, and at a reasonable price.
Just as any citizen may now compel a railroad to carry him as a passenger If
he tenders the fare. When I introduced this law, Mr. Bond P. Geddis. agent at
Washington for Mr. E. C. ScTlpps. asked me to let up on my fight for the bill,
and to apologize for my statement in the Congressional Record that the press
associations were controlled by the money power. Mr. Geddis told me that Mr.
Scrlpps owned the Portland News; that Scrlpps also owned the United Press, or
the majority of it, that serves both the News and the Journal in Portland, and
that if I did not apologize and drop my fight, Scrlpps would have his paper, th-e
Portland News, fight me for re-election. I refused to surrender.
6. For an Interstate Trade Commission, with powers to control private
trusts, like the Steel Trust, the Tobacco Trust, the Oil Trust, the Harvester
Trust, and all other trusts, even to the extent of fixing maximum prices to be
charged for any commodity when found to be controlled bv an absolute
monopoly, pending the elimination of the monopolistic conditions and the re
storation of free competition. .
These are not empty promises. I have put all these propositions into the form
of specific laws. AU that would be required to realize them would be to elect
219 Congressmen, a majority, willing to serve the public I have taken my
office seriously; have worked like a slave the last years, and, of course, the
interests will try to defeat me and put in a stand-patter or a nonentity.
I had not been in office six months until I was approached and offered a
bribe to serve the "interests." I was offered a salary to serve as "Attorney"
for the "Coos Bay & Eastern Electric Company." I refused to be bought, and
have kept the faith. I shall keep it hereafter, let come what will.
Had any fair presentation of " the tremendous Issues involved in this fight
been made to the voters by the newspapers in the late primary, I should re
gard the result as binding. But such was not done. Early in my Congres
sional career the newsDaners ridiculed me. and later (when I had been recog
nized by my colleagues at Washington, and placed on the committee on inter
state and foreign commerce, one of the most Important committees of tha
llnuse. and the most important on which any Oregon member serves, the news-
f apers then absolutely ignored me. ine newspapers are impressed with a pub
io interest, as has been held by the Supreme Court, and they have no right
to close their columns to news concerning a public officer. But that In what
the Portland DaDers did. And at the
port the newspapers by carrying their papers through the malls for $20 per ton
postage almost free. The same papers complained bitterly because I sent a
few speeches, not over two tons in three years, through the mails.
The newspapers did worse than to

Do aeieatea.
I refuse to be killed off politically
lenge these newspapers to produce leaden
if any person can snow wnere 1 nave ever been immoral, or committed any of
fense against any law of any country, I will resign from office.
As a cap sheaf to the campaign of newspaper infamy, on the afternoon be
fore the primary, large and glaring paid advertisements were Inserted in all
the afternoon papers, when It was too late for me to expose the fraud in the
same papers, beaded: Congressman Lafferty for Prohibition." That piece of
trickery alone cost me at least 3000 votes, fcvery reader or the advertisements
supposed I put them in the papers and. of course, thos wio are against prohibit
lion were incensea mat. i was using tne iniiueuce 01 joj political office in that
fight. The advertisements were inserted by my political enemies, who well
knew th head thereon was false, and who well knew that tha nrintlnr r r, h
advertisements, supposedly coming from me, would put me in a false light,
and cost me thousands of votes. I have taken no personal public stand for
or against prohibition, and shall not try to influence the people either way
on that subject. I shall vote for the resolution submitting the quesion to
the states, if it comes to a vote before the November election, and if it comes
to a vote after that I shall vote as Multnomah County votes on the subject
in November. No Congressman has any right to vote otherwise than as de
sired by a majority of his constituents, when that desire has been clearly ex
pressed with notice in advance that the referendum vote of the people will
be followed. That was the very principle of Statement 1.
I want every voter to call to see me at my of f ice, 733 Pittock block, opposite
Hazelwood Cream Store. I shall be home in a few davs and shall be in rny of
