"0h ,i couldn't Ex-Governor Geer Proves Democrat's 'Ante' Tactics by Baring Past and Present. sr- -MP " sieep. CAMPAIGN TRICK REVEALED Why didrit you ; comeon the Orator Before Meeting or Men and Women Notes Senator's Omission or Party and Exposes Him as Enemy or Oregon System. Twentieth . Century Limited ? i, 16 i -J "George E. Chamberlain, foe of the direct primary," was the description used by ex-Governor Geer in referring to the Democratic candidate for United States Senator at a meeting of men and ivomen at the imperial Hotel yester day afternoon. By an account of sev eral historical incidents in Mr. Cham berlain's career Mr. Geer explained to his hearers why this- appellation is peculiarly fitting to the man who has posed at various times as a non-partisan and as a Democrat. '-'Senator Chamberlain was opposed to the direct primary before the direct primary became established in Oregon and before he knew that it would, be popular," declared Mr. Geer. - "He is trying- to defeat the very prin ciples of the direct primary in his pres ent campaign, when he omits from his advertising cards all mention of the fact that he is a Democrat. He would have you voters -imply that he is run ning as a non-partisan. That is be cause this is a Republican state and he must have Republican votes to be elected. If he appealed to you as a Democrat, he knows he could not be elected. - Omission Termed Trick. "That is a little trick that he hoped would help elect him, but I think, the people understand it." Mr. Geer spoke on behalf of the Re publican candidates at a meeting called by Dr. Cora Talbot, Democratic candi date for the Legislature. It was a non partisan gathering and candidates on the Republican, Democratic, Progres sive and Prohibition tickets were In cluded among the speakers. Mrs. Nellie O. Hughes presided. After various other candidates and representatives of candidates had spok en ex-Governor Geer made what doubt less was the.most sensational address ot -the afternoon. "The greatest enemy of the Oregon system is the Democratic machine." -he declared. "It is making repeated on slaughts against popular government and is trying to strengthen and con trol its organization so that it can con tinue its adherents in office. "For the Democrats it is necessary to oppose the Oregon system, as they could not be successful by a direct ap peal for party votes. They must break down the Oregon system by seeking votes outside their own party. Oregon System Disresarded. "Why, you couldn't tell by looking at the window cards of Senator Chamber lain that he is a Democrat. You'd think he was a non-partisan. "Now the Democrats ought to admit that Chamberlain is a Democrat and they ought to vote for him. The Repub licans ought to vote for their own nominees. "When a person goes to register he or she must profess a certain party affiliation. Now to go outside that party in the general election, either in voting or in appealing for votes is con trary to the Oregon system, and that is what - Senator Chamberlain is do ing " "I thought you were to make a -speech on the Republican candidates," interrupted A. F. Plegel. Democratic nominee for Representative in Con gress. ' - "And that's Just what I am going to do," snapped back Mr. Geer, "and I am going to " speak on "Greater Oregon," too.". - Then the orator .castigated the Democrats, who have been . criticising Mr. Wlthycombe, Republican Guberna torial nominee, for his speeches in which he has outlined plans for im provement and development of . the state. "We Republicans ought to make Greater Oregon" a slogan and a watch word in this campaign. We cannot emphasize it ' too much, and we -are fortunate in having at the head of our ticket men who have played an impor tant part In the advancement of the state," said Mr. Geer. , Chamberlalm Exposed Further. But Geer was not yet through with his exposure of the Chamberlain record and went on to explain that Chamber lain had taken credit as Governor for placing $700,000 of state money out at interest that the proceeds could be used for the state school fund, when, as a fact Governor Chamberlain was not presenl at all at the meetings at which these loans were made. "He tried to take credit too," said Mr. Geer, "for the inheritance and income-tax laws, but the records show that these measures were drawn by members of the Legislature even before Chamberlain was inaugurated as Gov ernor. "He is full of pretense and bunk. "And then they tell you how he in troduced and gained the passage by Congress of the Alaska railroad bill. It is a well-known fact that Secretary Lane of the Interior Department pre pared that bill and that it merely was given -to Senator Chamberlain for in troduction. As a matter of fact Wesley Jones, a Republican Senator from the State of Washington, introduced an Alaska railroad bill three years before the Chamberlain bill was brought up." Early Repudiation Heralled. Mr. Geer then explained how Cham berlain, as ' Governor, repudiated the Oregon system by instructing the Dem ocratic members of the. Legislature not to vote for the man who had received the people's Indorsement for the United States senatorship. That was in the early part of 1903. Mr. Geer. In the preceding election, had' received 45,000 popular votes for Senator. C. 12. S. Wood, the Demo cratic candidate received 33,000 votes. Mr. .Wood wrote to the Democrats in the Legislature asking them to vote for Mr. Geer for Senator, as Mr. Geer had been the people's choice. "Sam White, chairman of the Dem ocratic state central committee, told me." explained Mr. Geer, "that if by their votes the 17 Democratic Legis lators could elect me, they would do it. 1 thanked him, and the subsequent proceedings or the Joint legislative ses sion revealed that I could have been elected with the aid of the Democratic votes. ' Assembly- Support Noted. "But the Democrats went to Gov ernor Chamberlain head of the "party In the state and asked him what to d-. He told them not to do it, that the Republicans were having & quarrel and to' let them tight it out. "Now, this was a- direct violation of the principle of direct election, yet this is the man who now parades him self before you as the champion of the Oregon system."" Mr. Geer also read an extract from e. letter 'written in 1906 by Governor "3" - if!? & Chamberlain in support of the Assem bly plan. ' ... "I' think it will be proper,",' said the lette.r, "for the Democrats to. hold an assembly, in the different counties and in the' state for the purpose of. formu lating a set - of principles and. .select ing capable and trustworthy then to be voted for at the primary elections." Mr. Geer concluded by -charging the' Democrats with incompetency and' ex travagance. . William Hanley, ' Progressive candi date for the - Senate, spoke briefly, charging Senator Chamberlain, with neglecting Central Oregon and the ir rigation projects that - the- people ; of Central Oregon need. -,- . Lester W. Humphrey ' spdke ' in sup port of Senator Chamberlain and ap pealed for votes on the ground, that by supporting Chamberlain . the people will support President Wilson.- - Dr." Esther Pohl .: Lovejoy praised President Wilson and the Democratic Administration.

PROFFERED TO CITV1 - . ' Striking Feature of "Crown Point" on Route of -New Highway Ex- ' tolled for Its Beauty. v Title to Mount Thor.. a natural won der located on the Oregon shore of the Columbia River not far east of Chanticleer, IV miles from Portland, will be given to the City of Portland early next week by the owners of the property, -Osmon Royal, Jr., and asso ciates. These grounds will be used as a park. The gift includes an acre and one half on the crown of the mountain at a point where the new Columbia River Highway, which encloses it, attains its zenith at an elevation of 750 feet above the river. As Mount Thor is one of the most prominent pieces of view prop erty on the highway, a concrete wall 560 feet long will be built around- it, forming almost a perfect circle. "'Crown Point," as the apex of the mountain will be known, is said to be the only place on the Columbia High- Way between Portland and'--Iood River that has double view advantages, its admirers claiming for it a view 80 miles in sweep, 40 miles up and 40 miles down the Columbia River. Mr. Royal and his associates own 85 acres adjoining Mount Thor. They plan making extensive improvements of the entire tract in the near future. While the market value of "Crown Point" is quoted at about $5000 an acre, it will be worth far more for city park purposes. "Crown - Point" and Multnomah Falls, donated by b. Ben son, will be the only two viewpoints along the Columbia Highway that are controlled by the City . of Portland. Thors peak was pointed out yester day by Samuel Hill in a private stere opticon lecture as one of the most striking features of its kind on -the route of the new Columbia Highway and as a scenic attraction surpassing many of the most widely-boasted at tractions of the Swiss Alps. "Thor's peak rises above the Colum bia River to a height or about 1000 feet, or equal to the height of the Kiffel Tower in Paris," he said. "It cost thousands of dollars to build the Eiffel Tower, but God put. this beau tiful, massive rock-- on the' Columbia Highway for us and never charged a cent." . ' - : ' -. ; . "PEACE WEEK" PLANS LAID Pulpits and Clubs Respond to Call to Spread Doctrine or Peace. - Ministers in' every pulpit in Port land have been asked to assist In the observance of "Peace week," -October 4, by devoting some portion of - their church services to the subject of uni versal peace.

MOi-.Tt'THOR AS IT APPEARS FROM CHANTICLEER. LINER MAKES PORT Deh of Ruthven Eludes German on High Seas. BRITISH CARGO - CARRIED Captain Matlils, ot Gifford, Sow Is .-Prisoner at Hamburg on Board " His" Vessel Tymeric Reported -. Sank by Cruiser Emden. Another Portland carrier, the British steamer. Den. of Ruthven,' of the Royal Mail . fleet, has successfully made her way -to. London, a cable to the-Mer-ch&nts' Exchange conveying news that the liner reported there Monday. The vessel was well along on her voyage when . war was precipitated, as- she sailed from here June proceeding via Northern ports, and was reported out from Comox June 13.- . The liner-reached Manila : July 23 and left there August 10 for London, but fears for her safety resulted in the vessel being 'recalled to Manila and she was last reported there September 14. The "Den of Ruthven , was able to load her usual cargo at Oriental ports for London, after -discharging that carried from here, and- would probably have made a rich prize for a German war vessel, but apparently every precau tion was taken after she' put out from Manila to avoid danger. Frank Waterhouse & Co., agents for the line, have been apprised that Cap tain Mathis, formerly master of tho British steamer Lucerlc, of the Andrew Wehr"&-Co. fleet, which operated out of here under the Waterhouse manage ment, was held a prisoner at Hamburg aboard his latest charge, -the new steamer Gifford. The vessel had reached Hamburg previous to the war and was there when it was declared, so Captain Mathis, Mrs. Mathis and the latter's sister are in the hands of the Germans. : It is said each is allowed 1 mark a day for food. The British steamer Tymeric, also of the Weir fleet, is believed to have been sunk, by the German cruiser Emden. She loaded here with lumber for Shang hai, arriving at the latter port August 2. . BUOY IS LIGHTED 19 MONTHS Ellen Sands Aid" Makes Second Long ' Kecord Since Established. Since . February 13, 1913, the Ellen Sands gas buoy, established inside Willapa Harbor, burned in good order until yesterday, according to a report made to Henry L. Beck. Inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, to the effect it had been extinguished. The same aid has a longer record, for it was lighted in March. 1911, and burned .until February .of last year, though meanwhile it was lifted twice, repainted . and looked after, but- the light was not extinguished during those operations. - Oas buoys used on -the seacoast usually are stored for; a year, but bo far-none have been tested successfully to -remain unattended for much longer periods. The use of gas buoys; where possible, gradually is being augmented oy the- Bureau of Lighthouses, as they serve - to cut down the demands on tenders in makingspecial ; trips, and, besides being reliable-as a rule, have been -proved more . desirable than;other types. . - PEACE I'RA VERS DELAY SAILIXG steamer Multnomah's Sailing Post poned by President's Call. Abiding by' the proclamation of Pres ident AVilson for Peace Sunday, the McCormlck steamer Multnomah will not be worked that day, -hence her sailing for California-cities has -been postponed - until Wednesday, says Frank Bollam, Portland -passenger agent for the line. The same will ap ply to the steamer Klamath, though In 'her case sailing day originally was fixed for Wednesday. The steamer Paraiso leaves Friday for San Francisco direct, eliminating her usual call at Coos Bay, as the steamer Alvarado -will make that port in her place, sailing Tuesday. The San' Ramon departs from Portland for San Francisco Saturday. It -is expect ed that all waterfront Interests will refrain from working cargo Sunday, except in emergencies. CAXAL JLVV BRIXti RATE AVAR. Four Coast . Concerns Start Vessels Against Established Lines. Portland shippers are- watching the development of the Canal trade be tween the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and speculating whether four inde pendent lines,- started by Swajne & Hoyt, the Dodge Steamship Company Sudden & Chriiitenson and Frederick Linderman will have a material - ef fect' on rates. Up to a short time ago the route was covered - by the Amerl can-Hawaiian. W. R: Grace & Co., the Luckenbach steamship Company and the Boston & Pacific. The first named had contented itself with plying from rsew York direct "to the Coast, but Bos ton. .Philadelphia -and Charleston have been included as. ports of .call , with certain steamers. The Boston-Pacific plies ' direct to the Pacific side from the Massachusetts ' metropolis, and the Grace line has . ciung to New York on the Hast Coast, , while the Luck'enbach Interests have announced that Galves ton will be touched. . Rates have been lowered as , com pared with those -in vogue by way of the. Straits of Magellan, but ' at the same time consignees now shoulder the wharfage charge, which was included in the rate before the Canal was opened. It is reported from San Fran cisco that the new lines entering the field have lowered the rate on canned goods 5 cents and further declines are looked for by Spring. - GRACE CARRIERS REACH PORT. . Inca Loads for West Coast and Tri- color for Canal Zone. First of the tonnage to reach the river this month for Jamber cargoes were the schooner Inca, from. Puget Sound, and the Norwegian steamer Tri color, from San Francisco, which W IE Grace & Co. will dispatch, the first for the West Coast and the tramp for Panama. The Samar was started for sea yesterday with a West Coast cargo. There appears to be no revival pros pective in the Oriental lumber market. The China Import & Kkport Lumber Company has ceased shipping to Shanghai because of the war, though it is said the company is well stocked and easily can comply with any de mand that might arise, and at the same time be prepared for a resumption of buying - should hostilities draw to a close sooner than is indicated. Only parcel shipments are in sight for that territory and they will be taken care of on liners. The West Coast busi ness should hold out. At the same time it Is influenced to an extent by Euro pean money. SOCTH PACIFIC NOW OX. COAST Kerr, Girrord & Co. Rapidly Assem bling Grain Fleet.

The proposal will be offered to the voters at the coming general elec tion. Mr. Mulkey is visiting all points in the Willamette Valley on his pres ent campaign tour. "Oregon is the only state in the Cnion that has ever reduced the num ber of its normal schools." said Mi. Mulkey. yesterday, in citing reasons why the people should re-establish the school. "Only five states in tue union have smaller equipment for normals than Oregon would have even with the one at Ashland. "The schools of Oregon . must find 1000 new teachers each year.
