LETTER IS SENT TO OWEN Indorsement of Senator Shively, ot Indiana, 'Made Public at Same Time, Marks Opening of Con- gresslonal Campaign. -WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 President Wilson opened today his letter-writing campaign for the election ot Demo cratic Senators and Representatives. He wrote letters indorsing; Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, and Senator Shively, of Indiana. Others will be written in the near future. Following- is the letter to Senator Chamberlain from Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, referring- to the letter from the President on the subject of Senator Chamberlain : "My Dear Georg-e: Having received letters from friends in Oregon stating that it was being represented in Oregon against you that President Wilson was Indifferent to your election, I spoke to him about it and sent him the letter I had received. I inclose his reply for your information. I think the state should know the truth, and suggest that you advise your friends of the President's letter. The people of Ore gon should know that you not only are greatly honored and esteemed in the Senate, but that the President also sincerely hopes for your re-election. Tours very sincerely, "ROBERT L. OWEN." Party Majority Desired. The enclosed letter of the President Indorsing Mr. Chamberlain is as fol lows: "White House, Sept. 30, 1914. "My Dear Senator: Referring to our conversation of the other day, I want to say to you again how sincerely I hope for the re-election of Senator Chamberlain. The maintenance of the Democratic majority in the Senate is of the utmost importance to the country If the present policies and programme of the Government are to be sustained and continued, and I take it for granted that voters everywhere will feel the force of that motive. Senator Cham berlain has rendered conspicuous serv ices to the party and I am sure they will be recognized in the result at the polls. Cordially and sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON. "To Hon. Robert L. Owen, United States Senate." Shively Also Indorsed. The letter indorsing Senator Shively was addressed to Majority Leader Kern, of the Senate, and was as follows: "I am genuinely surprised that any Question should have arisen as to whether I want Senator Shively re turned. I do most decidedly wish it. I have admired Senator Shively's stead fast devotion to duty and to the stand ards of the party and his unfaltering loyalty in all matters of public policy, as all his party associates have, and I learned to have a very warm personal feeling and admiration for him. It would, in my judgment, be a very great loss to the party and to the Senate if he should not be re-elected. I trust that there is no doubt of his re-election. "I need not tell you, my dear Sena tor, what my sentiments are towards yourself." LIVELY SHOW ON AT GLOBE "An Affair of Honor," Pictures I Hero Mixed In Duel by Mistake.

FRUIT COMBINE IS PUN MEETING IN SEATTLE CALLED AF TER WESATCHEE CONFERENCE, FIGHT TO COMMAND PACIFIC PREDICTED Republican Leader Mann Op poses Surrender of Con trol of Philippines. ORIENT JUST AWAKENING Effort Will Be Made to Federate Sep arate Agencies to Prevent Ruin, m Price Cutting. WENATCHEE. Wash Oct 1 rKn. cial.) An attempt to federate the fruit marketing agencies which handle nine tenths of the aDDle tonnacn nf tk. Northwest wil be made next Saturday night at Seattle. A meeting has been called as a result of a preliminary meeting here Tuesday, attended by presidents of the North Pacific Fmit Distributors, Wenatchee Produce Com pany, Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow ers' Association, Northwestern Fruit Exchange. It was agreed that some kind of co-operation can be worked out by which price-cutting may be eliminated. AH four organizations agreed to at tend the Seattle meeting and try to reach a practical basis for a legal merger. Invitations were ordered sent to three leading selling agencies in the Yakima Valley to be sent to their governing heads. This movement promulgated by the Wenatchee Daily World met with great favor here, for growers do not seem able to get into any organiza tion although it is recognized one big marketing institution would be the salvation of the industry. Since the growers cannot unite the effort now is to achieve the same end by federat ing their organizations, each to retain its identity. Teachers' Institute at Dayton. DAYTON, Wash., Oct. 1.

Mr. Mann Says Islands, ir Independ ent, Are Certain to Be Taken hy Another Xation and Used Against United States. WASHINGTON. Oct. 1 W.mU.ti,..

At that ni.- V iime we say that China shall not be permlti to shut out our people or our goods. Such a position as we take perhaps cannot be abandoned by our people, but it never can be enforced In the long run without the power to enforce it. Prolonged Conflict Predicted. "When China is awakened and going out into the world, we will have a con flict on our bands which will last for many years, possibly for many cen turies. "We who are now legislating. If we do not bear in mind the possibilities of hundreds of years from now and the inevitable conflict, commercial or other wise, which we win meet in the Far East, have forgotten the principles which ought to actuate us. "It is as certain as that the sun will rise tomorrow that & -conflict will come between the Far East and the Far West across the Pacific Ocean. All which has taken place in the world during the his tory of the American race up to now teaches us that the avoidance of the conflict Is impossible. I hope war may not come; that there be no conflict of arms. I have little faith that in this world of ours people and races are able to meet in competition for a lonsr rieriod of time without an armed conflict. A fight for commercial supremacy In the end leads to a fight with arms, because that is the final arbiter between nations. Paelne Not to Be Surrendered. "We command the Pacific Ocean to day, with the land that we have on this side, with the islands which we possess in the sea and with the Philippines on the other side. Will we surrender our command? I say no! If we should let the Philippine Islands go today without a string tied to them, they would be long to some other country Inside of 10 years.. But if they could keep their in dependence 25. 50 or even 100 years, in the end they would be used against us instead of in our favor in the inevitable conflict between competing races. "We are having trouble enough now about a country which we say we can not afford to let another nation enter; trouble enough now in Mexico, and with other republics to the south, without engaging in any more enterprises of this kind. "Who today would propose that we let Japan have a naval station in Mex ico? Who today in our country would assent if England proposed to transfer British Columbia to Japan? We would go to war in a minute to prevent it, be cause we would be opposed to letting Japan or China have a base of supplies on this side of the Pacific." When Representative Mann took the floor Manuel Quezon, resident commis sioner from the Philippines, had just concluded a plea for independence and for prompt action on the Jones bill, which would declare the purpose of the United States to grant independence as soon as the Filipinos are capable of self-government.
