PREPARING
FOR BIG GAT
Workers From Adjacent Coun
ties Expected at Repub
i lican Luncheon Friday.
CANDIDATES TO BE HEARD
It. A. Booth and Dr. Withycombe
Will Be Present, Though Attend
ance Will Require Long Night
Ride to Keep Engagements.
Women from Tamhill, Polk, Marlon
and other nearby counties where Re
publican women have recently organ
ized club and auxiliary committees will
be present at the "Fill the Empty Din
ner Pail" luncheon to be given by the
women's advisory committee of the
Republican state central committee at
the Multnomah Hotel next Friday.
New Republican songs written for
the occasion and other unique stunts
will be features of the luncheon which
will be the big "state-wide" get-together
affair of the campaign. Every
Republican woman and man in Oregon
lias been invited to be present. R, A.
Booth and Dr. Withycombe have ar
ranged to be present, although this
will make it necessary for them to
make a 45-mile automobile trip ' by
night to fill engagements the following
day. So many out-of-town Republicans
will be in Portland Friday en route to
the State Fair that a large attendance
from Eastern and Southern Oregon is
looked for.
The women of Polk County are thor
oughly organized and have a commlt
teewoman in every precinct In the
county. The Tamhill County women
recently effected the organization of a
county club, with branch clubs In
Carlton, Newberg and other cities. The
officers of the county organization are
Mrs. Martin Miller, president; Mrs. J.
G. Eckman, secretary, and Mrs. C. F.
Daniels, assistant secretary. The
parent organization designated Mrs.
Queen Dennis, president of the Carl
ton Club and Mrs. Catherine Cooper as
secretary; and for Newberg, Mrs. Clar
ence Butt, president, and Mrs. Ella
Kelty, secretary.
Steps were taken Saturday by the
Republican county central committee
of Marion County to assist the Repub
lican women to form a woman's auxil
iary in that county. There will be a
county advisory committee of five
women similar to the advisory commit
tee of the state central committee and
this committee will work up an or
ganization In every precinct In the
county.
Dr. W. H. Dale, of Harrisburg, writ
ing to the state committee, reports that
the Republican candidates for Gov
ernor, Representative in Congress, etc..
will lead by & safe majority in No
vember. J. E. Loggan, of Burns, says that It
looks better for the whole Republican
ticket in Harney County every day.
He writes that arrangements had been
made to give Dr. Withycombe a cordial
welcome when he visited Burns Satur
day night.
W. P. O'Brien, of Astoria, says that
many who voted without much regard
for party at recent elections, will vote
solidly for Booth and Withycombe this
year. "I have talked with a man who
had a large acquaintance throughout
Clatsop County and he says there will
be mighty little backsliding among
Republicans this year," he writes.
An organization is being formed by
the Republicans of Crook County this
year. John Bell, of Prineville, is state
committeeman and at a recent meeting
in that city E. J. Wilson waschosen
chairman of the county committee and
L. M. Bechtel, secretary. There was no
regular organization in Crook County
in 1912.
The Republicans of Tamhill County
are getting busy with a snap this year.
Chairman Mulkey and Secretary Miller
are making plans for the liveliest cam
paign in this, neighbor county. The
candidates defeated at the primaries in
May are discussing the organization of
a. Tamhill County Harmony Club along
the lines of the club organized by the
seven defeated candidates for Governor.
This club win boost for the Republican
ticket straight. It is planned during
the last three weeks of the campaign
to hold meetings throughout the
county.
James S. Stewart, of Fossil. Repub
lican nominee for Joint Representative
Of the Twenty-eighth District, compris
ing Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler
counties, is at the Perkins Hotel, en
rout to the Salem State Fair. Mr.
Stewart will have no opposition in the
election, as the Democrats nominated
him by writing his name on the ballot.
He said that he intended to pick out his
eeat in the Statehouse while he was
in Salem.
Mr. Stewart is publisher of the Fos
sil Journal, and also an enthusiastic
dry farmer. He distinguished himself
by carrying off the grand prize for the
best individual farm exhibit at the
Wheeler County Fair last week.

Notes From St. Johns
T. JOHNS, Or, Sept. 27. (Special.)
I City ""Attorney Parker, Who
drafted the motion picture ordinance
for St. Johns, which recently passed
the Council, regards the law in the
nature of an experiment. The commis
sion of 12 censors probably will be
appointed this week.
"It will depend on the character of
the 12 Commissioners," said Attorney
Parker today, "whether the censorship
law will work out. With the right
kind of censors, who will be careful
and will be governed by good judg
ment, -1 see no reason why the law
cannot be made a great benefit and
result in the Improvement of the char
acter of the pictures shown.
I like a good picture, one than I
can laugh at and enjoy. I do not like
the frivolous and immoral. Most of
our information comes through the eye,
and the motion picture can be made
highly important, and the object of
our new censor law is to Improve the
tone of the pictures. The 12 censors
have much power and can prevent bad
pictures or vaudeville from being
snown. -

to face are farm management problems
which relate to cost of production and
the proper organization of farmers, de

2 LEGGETT BODIES FOUND
Victims Dead but Few Hours, Says
Chehalis Coroner.
HOQUIAM, Wash., Sept. 27. The
bodies of two of the victims of the
wreck of the steam schooner Francis
H. Leggett, which sank in a storm oft
the Oregon Coast 10 days ago, with
a loss of more than 70 lives, were
washed ashore today.- One, believed to
be that of John Johnson, a sailor,
of Aberdeen, was washed ashore at
Moclips. a few miles north of here, and
the other, believed to be that of Henry.
a. uino, was xouna ai me mourn oi
Copalis River, 20 miles north of Mo
clips. Dr. R. S. Hunter, Coroner of Chehalis
County, who examined Johnson's body,
declared that he had been dead only a
few hours. A rope was found tied
around Johnson's body.
Reports received by the Coroner
from the place where Otho's body was
found indicated that he also had died
only a few hours before his body was
found.
Dr. Hunter believes that the men
tied themselves to a raft at the time of
the wreck and lived more than eight
days before succumbing to exposure.

ADDRESS IS VIOLEIIT
Governor West Assails Repub
licans in Vitriolic Epithets.
RESPECT IS DENIED DEAD
Lawmakers of State Referred to as
Pack of Drunkards and Only
Executive and Chamberlain
Posses) Virtues of Merit.
By direct inference Governor West
yesterday publicly advocated physical
violence as a retallative measure for
fancied wrongs.
This latest and most startling "policy"
of Oregon's chief executive was made
before a considerable crowd which had
gathered at the Armory to hear what
was advertised as "a plain talk on plain
facts to the plain people."
The speech which the Governor was
to deliver was also heralded In the ad
vance press notices as "a message
which would interest the working men
and women of Portland deeply."
Mr. West condemned Dr. Withycombe,
Senator Booth, State Treasurer Kay,
C. N. McArthur and The Oregonlan, dis
tributing his diatribes with absolute
mpartiality through a two-hour speech.
He dragged dead men from their
shrouds and put words of hearsay Into
their mouths to defame the living.
Nothing was faithful, nothing true. In
heaven or earth but Oswald West and
George E. Chamberlain these and A. F.
Flegel and a few other Oregon Demo
crats who were mentioned incidentally
as being the correct persons to invest
with public office, in view of the fact
that the speaker was not a candidate
and Senator Chamberlain was unable
to run for more than one office at a
time. .
Respects Paid Hanley, Too.
William Hanley came in for a small
share of the mud-flow which covered
the Republican candidates.
But the high-tide in the Governor's
speech came near the close, when he
was discussing the problem of caring
for the unemployed. The speaker ad
mitted that he did not know the solu
tion, but he said that lf he had enough
money he would give all the idle men
in Oregon Jobs this Winter.
Referring to his plan to have the
state do this, Mr. West said that he
was criticised by The Oregonlan last
Winter when he came from Salem to
Portland to see what he could do to
relieve the situation here.
'The Oregonlan said at that time,"
he declared, "that what we ought to
do was to take the militia and round up
the unemployed and have them squeexe
the water out of the mud.
'Now whoever would say a thing like
that somebody should take them by
the necks and squeeze them until nearly
all the breath Is -out of their bodies."
Vitriolic Denunciation Heard.
Pausing and taking his own breath.
Mr. West added that the task should
not be left uncompleted, and that the
persons who would make such a re
mark as tbat to which he referred, hav
Ing been totally deprived of breath.
should "roast in the fires of hell, with
Booth's timber and the files of The
Oregonlan for fuel."
Mr. West opened his speech by an
elaborate and intricate defense of his
prison policy. He followed this with
an attack on State Treasurer. Kay, to
whom "reactionary" was the mildest
epithet applied. Then C. N. McArthur
was reviled as turncoat Democrat, who
had never done a day s work in his
life." Next came Gus Moser, on whom
the Governor's attacks were purely
personal. Lair Thompson, of Lakevlew,
also came in for a few rapid and rabid
remarks.
Skipping rapidly from name to name,
and leaving a trail of vituperation in
his wake, Mr. West came to R. A.
Booth, Republican candidate for the
United States Senate. Mr. Booth was
criticised because of having made
money in Oregon timber.

Mr. West defended his use of the veto
and declared against Dr. Wlthycombe's
proposed policy of harmony between the

that Dr. Withycombe would take a
drink with a member of the Senate
every morning.

go down to the Salem hotels every night
and get soused with the gang, who
meet to drink corporation booze and
settle the affairs of state.
"I couldn't be harmonious in this way
for two reasons," he continued. "First,
because I didn't drink; and second, be
cause I was too busy watching to keep
the gang from slipping something over

If there is anything that the taxpayers

the Governor and the Legislature."
Turning his batteries on what he
called the "state printing graft," Mr.
West referred to former State Printers
Duniway and Baker, now dead, former
State Printer Leeds, and to The Ore
gonlan. Ho said that during Mr. Dunlway's
term of office The Oregonlan did not
object to the "graft" because of Mr.
Duniway's relationship to a former
conspicuous member of The Orego
nian's staff, now dead. The Governor
then produced purported hearsay evi
dence, from a man now dead, to back
a falsehood.
Chamberlain Is Landed.
"Frank Baker once told around 'the
family table that The Oregonlan was
paid money to protect the state print

to The Oregonlan at Portland, and the
printers in Salem objected. Leeds kept
the work in Salem, and Baker said that
Leeds said that he paid The Oregonlan
11000 a year to keen still."
Mr. West told how he fought for the
flat-salary bill for the State Printing
Office, and said that he supposed that
had Dr. Wlthcombe been Governor the
Legislature would have killed the bill
and Dr. Withycombe, in the interests

A campaign poster of the days when
Mr. Chamberlain was first running for
the United States Senate was unfolded
and displayed by the Governor.
He called attention to Mr. Chamber
lain's printed promise to "support the
administration in its progressiva poli
cies." "Theodore Roosevelt was President
then." said Mr. West, "and Senator
Chamberlain supported him in all his
Dest policies, and he Is supporting the
administration today."
"I am going to be among the unem
ployed myself soon," said Mr. West, in
closing. "I believe that every man has
a God-given right to work and to eat.
and my wife and kids are going to eat."
