14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1914. EARLY RETURNS IS ns PROMISE Plans to Cut Delay in Report ing Results Laid at Mrs. Duniway's Home. REGISTRATION TO BE URGED TScpublican County Committee Sets Sates and Meetings for Various Candidates Withycombe Strong Over State. Tf the election service is Improved this Fall the women officials in a large measure will be responsible. A group of about BO Republican wo men who have been appointed judges or clerks for the forthcoming election met yesterday at the home of Mrs. Abi gail Scott Duniway and effected a per manent organization that ultimately is expected to include in its membership nearly all the BOO women election of ficials In the county. Among the objects of the organiza tion are: "The interchange of ideas tor Improving the election service; a discussion of methods for handling election work; encouragement of wo men generally to take an interest in the details of election procedure, and co-operation with the newspapers to give the public earliest possible in formation on the results." Mrs. Alice R. Nugent was selected per manent chairman of the organization yesterday, and Eleanor G. Sheldon sec retary. In addition to its non-partisan ef forts, the new club, being composed of Republican women, will make a deter mined effort to impress upon women voters the vital necessity of support ing the Republican ticket in its en tirety. They propose to do their share to elect every candidate on the ticket, from United States Senator to Con stable. Particular attention will be given, however, to the campaigns of the Republican candidates for United States Senator and Congressmen. It Is aimed soon to establish perma BRAINS NOT WANTED IN WOMAN, ACTRESS SAYS Marjorie Murray, at Heilig, Has Original Ideas, but Complains Man Does Not Appreciate Cleverness in Sex. BY LEONE CASS BAER. ARJORIE MURRAY, playing "Kit ty Mackay" at the Heilig this week, is one of those actresses who startle you with some perfectly corking and wholly original observa tion and then ties a string to it with a "But for heaven's sake that isn't for publication." So, naturally, the best parts of her Interview are not embalmed here. Not that what the little blonde English Scotch she's an 'alf an' 'alf girl says needs be blue penciled and any board of censors would pass the workings of her clean mind, but she just has a dif ferent viewpoint on a lot of subjects which If put Into execution would revo lutionize morals and manners. Some day she's going to Incorporate what she calls her crazy ideas into a book. Which may be another reason I'm not going to ruin the chances of the book's success by prematurely springing any of her best material. " Actress Writes Flays. She has already written three plays all of them she assures me the "worst In. the world." But, as she puts It. there Is a. great deal in having written the worst plays, so many of them are mere ly mediocre. By which you see she has a philosophy of her own. One' of the three has been accepted by Charles Frohman's English manager to use as a curtain raiser; all of which has en couraged the would-be playwrightess to dabble further. It is Miss Murray's sole ambition' in private life, she says, to' look like a Charlotte Russe or a nice wild oyster. insofar as her mental attainments re flect. "No one cares for brains or bril liancy or cleverness In women," she as serts stoutly and that "any woman who cultivates her mind had better far be cultivating her dimple and a don't-care smile that will stand the wear and tear of man's perfidy and a flock of hair that time will not wither or chang ing fashions stale. Her ideal life Miss Murray says would be in a harem where she could play the role of the old and neglected wife and loll on cushions for 23 hours out of the 24 and gobble fat chocolate creams and read light fiction. A life like this she thinks would be ideal with 90 some other wives to help share their common husband's grouches, bad manners and neglect. In contra-dis-tinction ' to the Idle existence she's dreaming of Miss Murray works like a dozen oft-quoted Trojans. Instead of sleeping 23 out of the 24 hours she really sleeps about six and spends the early morning walking a thousand miles or so. She takes that after her - MB" Tiint headauarters and to maintain them open every day with officials in I mother's side of the family, the Eng. charge women voters win De urgea to lisn. visit these headauarters ana discuss the Issues of the campaign. Meanwhile committees of women will be organized to visit the various pre cincts and urge the various women who are not registered to go to the Court house and register so that they may vote on election day. Beginning next week, the Republi can County Committee will hold a se ries of meetings through which all candidates for office on the county and state tickets will be given opportunity of coming into contact with the voters. These meetings will continue nightly until the close of the campaign. It is aimed to hold three or four such meet ings each night in various parts of the county, with a different set of speakers at each meeting. It is prob able, however, that some of the prin cipal candidates will be able to visit three or four meetings on the same evening. Automobile service will be provided for this purpose. More than a score of Republicans who were candidates for nomination on the primary ticket last May have volunteered their services to the eoun- : ty committee and will take an active part in the work to elect their success ful opponents. Particularly is this true of the legislative candidates. Although he has not opened cam paign headquarters, it is probable that Tom Hurlburt, Republican nominee for Sheriff, is doing more campaign work than any other candidate on a county . ticket. He is visited daily by scores of his supporters, who call on him at his private office and volunteer their Bervices. Many Democrats are advis ing him every day that they expect to vote for him. V. T. Hebert, of Oakridge, reported to r Republican headquarters yesterday that his district will give Booth and Withycombe big majorities. "We are disgusted with 'Emperor West,- he writes. I think we will have no trouble defeating his hand' picked candidates. "Farmers here are pretty much worried over the danger of having the universal eight-hour bill pass. They know It would, demoralize their business." Judge Henry I Benson, of Klamath Falls, Republican candidate for the Supreme . bench, has returned to his home after a week's visit in Portland and other points in the northern part of the state. It is probable that he will be unable to give much time to campaign work, as his duties as Cir cuit Judge will keep him busy from now until election time. Mrs. Thomas G. Greene has Issued general Invitation to the women of Highland. Walnut Park. Piedmont and "Woodlawn who are interested In the election of A. F. Flegel to Congress, to meet at her home, 337 Jessup street. Piedmont, Friday at 2:30 o'clock P. M. Mr. Flegel has lived in Piedmont for the last 20 years. F. E. Allen, Mayor of Marshfleld, was In Portland yesterday on his way to the State Fair and stopped at Repub lican headquarters long enough to as sure Chairman Moores that Coos Coun ty Is going Republican this year by an increased plurality. Dr. Withycombe Is well known to the people of 'our county," he said, "and he will get more than the full party vote. He is well liked by all who know him and the people have the ut most confidence in him. They are glad of the opportunity to vote for him. "Dr. Smith will not even get the full Democratic vote, as the people fear his close affiliation with Governor West. The people of Coos County want an economical state administration and they believe that Dr. Withycombe is able to give It to them." Mr. Allen reported that the entire Republican state ticket will win in Coos County. A. W. Lafferty, independent candidate for re-election to Congress from the Multnomah County district. Is expected in Portland about October 15. Joe Morris, Jr., of Mapleton, Lane County, was a Portland visitor yester day and reported continued progress on the new Eugene-Coos Bay railroad, and unusual Interest in the present politi cal conflict. "People in our end of Lane County are much interested In the candidacy of Dr. Withycombe," he said. "This comes largely from the fact that nearly all the farmers are personally ac- qualnted with him, and those who are acquainted with him have confidence in him and are going to vote for him. Dr. Withycombe has visited the coast country several times within the last few years and has personally assisted the farmers and dairymen in develop ing their lands and their herds. He ' received a large vote in the primaries Tea Dlvldea Day. Also she drinks oceans of tea in the middle of the day, and has a distinct English flavor In her speech.

Who Flays "Kitty Mac Theater This "renlgged," almost at the altar on two occasions, and has five engagement rings to prove It which was mighty generous, wasn't "it. of the five rejected in this day of high cost of loving? Speaking of generosity, Marjorie Mur ray is one of the few actresses I've met who are generous to other dough- ters of Eve. She speaks so loyally of the other woman, and goes so far out of her way to drag in the name of some actres3 and praise her for something achieved, that I remarked about It. "I've learned it from the women who are not generous." she says. "So many of them have hurt me, and have with held encouraging words or help when I needed it you see I began starring at 15 In England and I met a lot of un klndness from fellow women players. and It has all "made me resolve that the minute I find myself ungenerous or ungracious to any other actress that Is the day I want to quit my career." Miss Murray makes her home when she is in America with an uncle, George W. Murray, who Is president of the Orange County National Bank and has five automobiles, while his pretty niece rides on a streetcar to view Portland Heights. But in the Summer she rides in 'em all at once. She has been over here two seasons in "Bunty Pulls the Strings," which play she did. not like half so much as she does Kitty. "Oh. Bunty was all comedy, I know, and the only laugh I get in Kitty is at my pantallettes, but, oh, she's a dear. Is Kitty," she says. And so is the little girl who prays Kitty. HARMONY 111 PARTY IS SEEN BY PRESS Withycombe Lauded as Man for Place With Practical Ideas and Spotless Life. DEFEATED ONES NOW AID and will poll more than his party strength in the general election. With Dr. Withycombe as Governor and our country opened up through the new railroad. Western Lane County ought to thrive and prosper as never before." Wallowa County Republicans are or ganizing for active participation in the campaign. They already have taken a prominent part in campaign work. Both R. A. Booth and Dr. Withycombe visited Wallowa County on Monday and the new voters organization enter tained them. Daniel Boyd, secretary of the Wal lowa County central committee. In re porting to state headquarters yester day, stated that the organization of Republican voters doubtless will be an important factor In returning a big Republican vote from Wallowa County this year. 4,564,434 GARS GO Railway Files Bridge Record for Four Years. 3-CENT RATE CALCULATED Dr. Withycombe is meeting with much encouragement in his tour of Eastern and parts of Central Oregon, as the following letter received from him yesterday by Edward D. Baldwin, secretary of the state committee, indicates: 'The outlook In Grant County is ex cellent both for Mr. Booth and myself. I spoke at a stockmen's banquet at Canyon City last Thursday night and at the Grant County fair at John Day on Friday evening. "They assure me that I shall receive the full Republican vote here in Harney County and that Senator Booth will receive good support In spite of the local candidate. Mr. Hanley." The letter was written from Burns were Dr. Withycombe met the voters on Saturday. He went from Burns to Ontario by automobile. He visited Vale, Ontario, Enterprise and other towns in Malheur and Wallowa counties, and found encouragement everywhere. He is campaigning in Union and Baker counties today and will return to Portland tomorrow so that he can at tend the State Fair for a few days. He will be at tne women's advisory com mittee's luncheon at the Ajultnomah Hotel at noon, Friday. W. G. Powers, of Scappoose reports that most Republicans in that vicinity are registered and that they will vote the straight party ticket. "They all favor Withycombe for Gov ernor," he writes. "Booth is popular here and will get a big vote. We are well pleased with conditions and en thusiastic over the prospects. The blue dining-room of the Multno mah Hotel probably will be tilled Fri day noon when the women's advisory committee of the Republican state or ganization produces its first political effort of the present campaign. The function has been termed "Fill the Empty Dinner Pail" and is designed to bring Into bold relief the commercial and Industrial depression wrought through the present Democratic Ad ministration in state and Nation. While there will be forceful reminders of the emptiness of the Democratic dinner pail, there will be a sufficiency of food for all who attend the luncheon and an abundance of speeches besides. Nearly all the state and county candi dates will be on the programme. The entire programme will be in charge of the- women. J. D. Davidson, a prominent citizen of Bend, was in Portland yesterday and reported encouraging Republican con ditions in Crook County and through out Central Oregon generally. He pre dieted that Booth will carry Crook County by a big majority. The regular Republican ticket will get the full party vote, he said. "The vote in Crook will be heavy," he averred, "on account of the extreme in terest over the plan for county di vision." ' W. A. Leet, who was defeated for the Republican nomination to the Legisla ture In Multnomah County, has volun teered to the Republican County Com mittee for work during the remaining weeks of the campaign. He is eager to speak for the entire Republican ticket and will be given opportunity to join the other campaigners In their ef forts. A meeting of the Demdcratic County Committee was held last night in thei headquarters In the Swetland building. The Democrats expect to do some active campaign work within the next few weeks but are centering their prin ciple efforts on the heads of the state ticket. Hawthorne and Morrison Snans Bear Heaviest Traffic Report Precedes Acceptance of Fran chise Rental Due. have since other Streetcars 'totaling 4,564,434 crossed the Hawthorne bridge December 20, 1910, and the bridges since February 26, 1913, accord ing to a report filed yesterday with City Commissioner Daly by officials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The company asks the city to use this figure in making up the total amount due for use of the bridges at a rate of 3 cents for each car. The company, under the provisions of a franchise granted recently for use of all the bridges at a flat rate of 3 cents a car, is required to settle for all back rental before finally accenting the franchise. The company calculates that the amount due is S93.020.86. after deducting the amounts paid from time to time since 1910 on the Hawthorne bridge and since February. 1913. on the other bridges. The company asks that the city check over the figures as soon as possible, that It may accept its irancnise. According to the comDanv's figures tne Mawtnorne bridge and the Morri son bridge bear the heaviest streetcar traffic. On the Hawthorne bridere the total numoer of cars crossing since December 20, 1910, Is 2.319.555. The company figures it owes a rental bal ance of $62,160.68 on this bridge. On the Morrison bridge, from February zt, yi.j, to aate, Y.si,iS7 cars crossed the Broadway bridge was crossed by cars; tne steel bridge wa crossed by 691,047 and the Burnslde bridge record is 448,283. Spectacle of Opposition Candidate In Line for Winner Pleases Edi tors, Who Regard It as Tri umph of Primary I-iaw. Harmony In the Republican ranks has made a strong impression on the press of the entire state, as evidenced by clippings which have been received at Republican headquarters and which were compiled yesterday. Nearly every newspaper in Oregon has had some thing good to say on the recent get ting together of the seven defeated candidates for the Republican nomina tion and their loyal and earnest sup port of Dr. James Withycombe, the successful candidate. Among the newspapers which herald the triumph of the primary law as evi denced by the rallying of defeated candidates to Dr. Withycombe are the following: Oregon City Enterprise, Haines Record. Fossil Journal. Union Republican, Sheridan Sun, Newberg Graphic, Ashland Tidings. Dallas Ob server, Tillamook Headlight, The Dalles Chronicle, Ontario Argus, Grants Pass Observer, Toledo Leader, Huntington News, Hood River Glacier, Condon Times, Roseburg News, Lapine Intermountain, Silver Lake Leader, Salem Visitor, Hillsboro Independent and Falls City News. It is believed this list will be largely augmented when all the clippings have been received. Editors Pralae Withycombe. Scores of laudatory editorials com menting 'on the triumph of the har mony idea and warmly praising Dr. Withycombe, the successful candidate for the nomination, are being received. The verdict is universal among the prominent newspapers in all parts of the state that Dr. Withycombe is the right man for Governor of Oregon, one with whom no fault can be found either in his private life or the ideals for which he Btands as an aspirant for the Governorship. "At this time a man is needed at the state's helm to direct her course in the right channel of progress and effi ciency," says the Huntington News. "It is beyond question, that James Withycombe knows what la needed and is prepared and competent to meet those needs." Speaking of the needs of Eastern Oregon, the Pendleton Tribune has this to say: "This great empire of Eastern Ore gon is capable of producing more agri cultural wealth than the entire Pacific Slope west of the Cascades. All that is required Is development and encour agement. It is a vast undertaking and cannot be successfully accomplished excent undftr tViA Administration of a ( practical man. a man who knows what can be done and what should be done without wasting time and money in experiments. Dr. Withycombe Is a man who knows and can give that as sistance of which this section has long been in dire need." The Dallas Observer has this to say of Dr. Withycombe: He is a pattern of that strong and sensible w estern type which only needed opportunity to go far, and he is safe at any post to which he may be called." In Dr. AVithycombe the people have a safe, solid, talented, able man, and It is a foregone conclusion that the peo ple will vote for one whose great am bition is for the proper development of the state," says the Woodburn In dependent. "That is what we need more than anything else." Criterion for Withycombe. The Lebanon Criterion says: "The people of the state will hardly be mis led into any belief that Dr. Withy combe is anything but a truly caDable and patriotic citizen who as Governor will reflect credit upon the state and the voters who support him." "No man has ever heard him utter pessimistic thought or give forth any expression, publicly or privately,- that wouw reflect to his own discredit,' says tne corvallls Gazette-Times. Any attempt to belittle him must result to his advantage, for Dr. Withycombe is too well and favorably known for the voters to be misled. He is known as a man of cleanly mind, high ideals and great optimism. For years he has traveled over the state preaching "A Greater Oregon,' and by his oft-ex pressea confidence in the states nat ural resources, and agricultural possi bilities in particular, he has probably done more than any other one man to bring Oregon into her own. He haa inspired others with his confidence and. assisted them with his advice. Dr. Withycombe has only the state's best goo-a at heart, has ample capacity, mature judgment, a wide familiarity with the state's resources and Its needs, and possesses such dlsrnitv and general worth that the people of this state wouia nave no fear of him ai Governor the Portland Journal's at tltude to the contrary notwlthstanri.

The intention is, with the aid of the County Commissioners of Hood River and Multnomah Counties, to transform the Government trail into an automo bile road, as a connecting link between the Columbia Highway and the old Bar low road, a distance of 12 miles. This plan, say the promoters, would give Portland residents an automobile road forming a semi-circle around Mount Hood, enabling them to go to Hood River, circle Mount Hood, and return to Portland on the same day.

The Astounding Low Prices of the Manuf Ttnrers' Sale at Eilers Music House Doing It. More Particulars of Interest to Everyone Who's Fond of Music. Springfield School Adda Teacher. SPRINGFIELD, Or, Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) Miss Rose Baaier, of Portland. Tne player piano de luxe is the lat est and most highly perfected of all the costly player pianos. Built by the man under whose super intendence the world-famous Weber piano reached the highest pinnacle of perfection. It embodies positively all that is best and latest. No player, piano manufacturer pro duces anything in any way better than the player piano mechanism in the piano player de luxe; no piano manu facturer produces anything in any way more choice than the piano proper in the player piano de luxe. No manufacturer can truthfully say that he Is making anything fines or better, or in any way more durable. No firm can truthfully say that it sells anything superior. Nothing better can now be had. These instruments are worth $1000. $1100 and $1150, in the regular retail way, and there are several represent ing even $1250 of value. But as stated heretofore, we afe sell ing out everything In this house under agreement whereby Eilers Music House buys three manufacturers' surplus pianos for each two instruments sold. While making this sale we are also going to dispose of these beautiful player pianos de luxe. We don't stand on ceremony. We will add $25 to what these pianos actually cost to make and will sel them at that rigure eltner tor casn or on a payment plan that will suit any reasonable buyer. We will, free of any cost, also include' a superb collection of music rolls at the low sale price which these superb instruments are now being offered. it will be well to bear in mind that in this Emergency Sale we are not ask ing for even a dollar in the way of profit, but in spite of this there is no Institution more anxious to sell. No reasonable offer as to terms oi payment will be- refused. Now Is the time to buy pianos, as hundreds of the shrewdest business men and women of this community can testify. More pianos have been sold during the month of September in the city of Port land than have been sold during any September heretofore. The instruments will all be sold by Eilers- Music House, too. Let no one be misled by ridiculous sideshow attractions, the ' blatant claims, which, upon Investigation, will be found in no way equal to what Is offered by the old established home piano house of Eilers. We have also 1? this Emergency Sale at less than cost a number of the now famous Bungalow Player pianos, that have been used in our wholesale de partment as samples and for demon stration purposes. We have also some elegant genuine Weber made pianola pianos with all the Metrostyle and Themodist attach ments, which were deemed essential be fore the invention of the Rythmodik music rolls. These instruments could not be told from brand new ones, but we offer them -for virtually half their usually advertised prices. We will take payments of as little as $15 a month. We also have several specially nice Stuyvesant pianola pianos in elegant mission oak cases, with all the attach, ments enumerated above. Will take $12 a month. A number of $700 player pianos are now only ?355. and the plainer styles for $265. All others at corresponding reductions. Free music rolls included. For only $195 we furnish highest grade, strictly warranted Colonial de sign uprights, which ordinarily cost more than double this price. Other nw pianos, also warranted instruments, for only $145, and still others, also new and warranted pianos, are now only $118, many for $98. Never has it been possible hereto fore to buy so advantageously as now. There is no home in Oregon now that cannot have a choice piano, but quick action is necessary. If everyone in this city could but realize what a money-saving opportu nity this really is all would be sold out in less than a week's lime. Those living out of town should take a trip to Portland and make selection at once. Dozens of families have done so and none have been disappointed. Telegrams telling to hold certain styles till letters can arrive with deposit will be honored for 36 hours only. Every transaction, great or small, is protect ed by the E. M. H. money-back guar antee. This sale as above Is now in prog ress (store open till 9 P. M.) at Eilers Music House. Eilers building. Alder street at Broadway.
