THE 3IORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914. FULL PAIL DESIRE F Candidate for United States Senate Impressed With Eastern Oregon. BUSINESS LIFE TO BE TOPIC Kepubllcan Nominee Going to Al bany September 4 to Tell Voters of His Career and Discuss Na tion's Political Issues. R. A. Booth. Republican nominee for the United States Senatorship. was in Portland yesterday after an extensive tour of the counties east of the moun tains. In an interview Mr. Booth briefly gave his impressions of the great country he has just traveled and said that he expected to make a pub lic address at Albany next Friday, re viewing his business career and setting forth the issues of the campaign. Mr. Booth said: "In my 700 miles travel through six Eastern Oregon counties I have been much impressed by the development and progress since my days as a cow puncher and sheepherder. Then our supplies were freighted in for 200 miles, and such products as could not be delivered on foot in market were transported by freight team. Now there are railroads into every county east of the mountains except two and there has been a large increase in the population. "The largest stock ranches are being cut ud and grain raising and diversi fied farming are supplanting the isheep, cattle and horse ranges. "The prosperity of two years ago is not present, but with the sturdy con fidence of the pioneer the people are looking forward to the time when-Oregon products will not be placed in free competition with the products of China and other Asiatic countries. As one ranch hand expressed it. I can't see how it helps us fellows to keep the coolie out of this country and then let in the products of his country.' "This feeling is common throughout rural Oregon. 1 tind a most pro nounced sentiment for a return to the party of the full dinner pail. With pardonable pride I feel that I can safe ly say that I am confident of at least as large a vote as is my party's regis tration. "I am going to Eugene for a day or two. On Friday night, September 4. I shall address the people of Linn Coun ty at Albany antl tell them frankly of ny business career. I shall also point out as well as my ability will permit what are the real issues of this cam paign. The Democratic organ at Al bany is inclined to diverge from the political issues, and so far as its mat ters have referred to my business ca reer I shall reply. f shail also call upon the party in power for a report of Its stewardship." PACIFIC COAST MAY REAP Consul-General Says United States Will Gain Trade of Orient. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. In the course of an address delivered before business men here today, George K. Anderson, American Consul-General at Hongkong. China, said: "One of the results of the war will be the movement of 'Yopulation from the North of Europe to the United States and it seems to me the Pacific Coast offers the t jst opportunities to the Immigrants. "The greater part of Europe's trade In the Orient now will be taker, over by the United States. This will follow just as surely as New York became the financial center of the world following the outbreak of the war." CABLES GO BY AMERICA Japanese - British Correspondence Passes Through Sun Francisco. 8A.V FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. All the official government correspondence be tween Great Britain and Japan is pass ing through this city, in code cable messages.

The English and French censors appear to be as busy on news passed by one or the other of the allies' official news bureaus as on the dispatches of the newspaper cor respondents. The British censors stop parts of of ficial communications Issued by the War Office In Pars and the French censors appear to have delayed, on two or three occasions, announcements made in the House of Commons regarding the situation of the armies. The French censorship, however, seems less severe than that In Eng land on news originating in France. CHILD FATALLY INJURED Boy, 4 Years Old. Is Buried Beneath Load of Slabwood.
