THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1914. i7 STRAIGHT TICKET 15 REPUBLICANS' AIM C. N. McArthur, Nominee, for Congress, Notes Marked . "Top-to-Bottom" Intent. CUTTING FOLLY LEARNED Candidate After Tour ot Multnomah Districts Is Impressed by Desire or All to Make Votes Count for Party Issues Clear. "Never in my 'previous political ex perience have 1 felt such a. disposition on the part of Republicans to vote their ticket straight," said C. N. McArthur, Republican nominee for Congress in the Multnomah County district, yester day. Mr. McArthur has Just completed a tour of the outlying precincts of the county and has been pretty well over Portland and the congested districts and has met voters of all classes, ide says the plan of Republicans to sup port the ticket from "top to bottom" appears to be almost unanimous. "I have been through a good many campaigns," he commented, "but this is the first time that 1 have seen so much determination to refrain from "scratching.' That probably is because the issues of the campaign are well denned and people know that to make their favorite issues prevail they must support their party ticket in every par ticular. The Republican voters under stand pretty well, 1 believe, thathey cannot make their vote effective by voting for candidates of two or more political parties. They appreciate' the necessity of - supporting the .. whole ticket from Senator down to Con stable." One of Mr. McArthur's strongest platform planks is his expression of his "abiding faith in, the integrity of the party under whose guidance our country has been carried through an era of progress and prosDeritv unparal leled in the history of nations." He is making this fight as a Republi can, upon a Republican platform, and he believes the chief issue of the cam paign to be the question of whether the laborers and producers o"this coun try are to enjoy the protection of a Just and equitable tariff law. He be lieves that the issue is a simple one. and is understood by all classes of peo ple. inis contest is between the two great representative political parties. said Mr. McArthurt "The one stands always and the proof is history for good government, prosperity and pro tection to American laborers and pro ducers; the other for misadminlstra tion, extravagance, free trade, failure and the empty dinner pail. I am not a calamity howler, but, on the other hand,- am optimistic as to the future of our country, but believe that the -best interests of all classes of people lie in the return of the Republican party to power. The empty chimney, the empty house, the empty bank account and the empty dinner pail are issues which cannot be dodged, and no amount of explaining by Democratic politicians can convince the rank and file of our voters that the Democratic tariff bill and its disastrous results are not the real issues of the campaign." Reports concerning the splendid re ception given Dr. AVithycombe in his recent visit to Jackson County con tinue to come into state headquarters at the Imperial Hotel. The Medford Bun, in its issue of "October 8. says: "Dr. 'Withycombe Is being given a cor dial welcome throughout the state, is growing In popularity daily and will be the next Governor of this great state. , s The recent meeting of the County Central Committee of Jackson County at Medford was the most successful held In years. Besides -40 precinct committeemen, a large number of the county candidates 'were' . present. A resolution was adopted unanimously Indorsing the State Normal at Ash land, calling on the people of South ern Oregon to support the initiatory measure and re-establish the school. S. S. Smith, committeeman from Medford, writing to the secretary of the Republican btate Central Commit tee concerning the recent meeting, says in part: "We certainly had- a rousing Re publican committee meeting and are going to whoop it up with a will from' now until the close of the campaign. "We were wonderfully surprised at the number in attendance and the enthus lasm manifested. The committee Is In better shape than it has been in this county for several years." At the meetings of the Republican County ,' Central "Committee last n'ght arrangements were made for a tour of the eastern precincts of the county next Friday and Saturday by R. A. Booth. Senatorial candidate; C. N. McArthur. Congressional candidate; Sheriff, and several of the candidates lor-the legislature. During the remaining two weeks of the campaign, beginning next Monday, the Republican state candidates will give nearly all their time to the work in Multnomah' County. Judge XV. H. Hollis, of Forest Grove, was a caller at Republican heaaquar ters, in the Imperial Hotel, yesterday, and reported normal Republican inter est in Washington County, which, he explained, means thai the ticket will poll up its usual majority this .rail. "The only trouble with- us is," said 'judge Hollis. "tbat'the candidates all are passing us up this Fall. Few have visited Forest Grove, and I don t think they have treated the rest of the county much better. The Republicans know that they will carry the county anyway, and the Democrats realize. suppose, that it is a useless case to appeal for votes among the farmers, who already are sore at the Democratic administration on account of its tariff policy. . Judite Hollis is a holdover member of the State Senate, and contemplated with pleasure the prospects of doing business at Salem next Winter with Jr. ithycombe in the Governor's of lice. s-enator Chamberlain's campaign managers are making frantic efforts .to arouse enthusiasm for him in vari ous parts of the state. Thev are eoinz to work him day and night after he gets obck to Uregon and will keen him busy from the time he crosses the eastern ooraer of Oregon, tomorrow morning, until the eve nf th i.mn He will tour Eastern Oregon on his way to Portland this week and will devote the remaining two weeks of the campaign to the -western part of me staie.

Carl Roe, of Enterprise, who is at tending the Knights of Pythias grand lodge meeting in Portland, visited Re publican state headquarters yesterday. "It is a top. to bottom Republican year in Wallowa County," he reports. "The prospects are that the Republican party will make a clean sweep." William Hanley. Progressive Sena torial candidate, was at The Dalles yesterday. He left last night for Hermiston and Stanfield and will de vote a part of the week- to other points in Eastern Oregon. R. R. Corey, of Baker, who is at tending the session of the grand lodge. -K-mgnts of Pythias, reports to Repub lican State Central Committee that Hanley will draw greatly from the Chamberlain vote in Baker County; that things are shaping very much to mat end within tne last few days and the probable result will be that Booth will carry Baker County. Baker is the only county in Eastern Oregon about which there has been any doubt ot success at Republican headquar ters. A. W. Lafferty, independent Con gressional nominee In the Multnomah County district, has decided, for un known reasons, to remain in Washing ton, D c, until Congress adjourns. Up until the end of last week he had intended to start for Portland about Saturday. Although his managers here have been urging him to come home he seems persistent in his intention to stick to his "post of duty" so long as there is anything to stick for. As Congress promises to adjourn by he end of this week it Is probable that ne will be back here about the middle of next week. He will make a speak ing campaign of the district after his return. Governor West is scheduled to make campaign speech in the auditorium of Washington high school this even ing. He will speak for Dr. C. J. Smith, Democratic gubernatorial can didate, and the rest of the Democratic ticket. V Peter. Menegat, of Lakeside, advises E. D.

Progressive candidate for the United States Senate. He is accompanied by A. E. Foss, of Portland. "- ' Colonel Wood will speak this even ing at Sherwood, tomorrow night at Grants Pass, Thursday at Ashland, Fri day at Medford and Saturday at Rose burg. Colonel W. L. Nichols. of Riddle. Douglas County, was in Portland yes terday and assured the Hanley cam paign committee that Hanley will get a lot of votes in Southern Oregon that he is cutting into the Chamberlain strength and that the women particu larly are deserting Chamberlain for Hanley. A. F. Flegel, Democratic nominee for Congress, will speak In the Eliot School, Rodney and Knott streets, this evening. Tomorrow . night he will speak in the Woodstock School. He proposes to make a speech every night from now until election day. During the last lew weeks of the campaign he will make several open air speeches. Candidates for the Legislature in all parts of the - state are receiving in quirles from the officials of several of the leading fraternal insurance organ izations whose head offices are in Ore gon. asking them what will be their attitude on insurance legislation, if elected. The fraternals are asking for an amendment to the present insurance laws giving them "equal privileges with foreign societies." Letters on the' subject already have been sent to the candidates by C. C. VanOrsdall, grand guardian of the Wo men of Woodcraft; Margaret Herrin, grand chief of the Degree of Honor, and H. S. Hudson, supreme master of the United Artisans, all of which have headquarters In Portland. Miss Anne Shannon Monroe will speak in Strahlman's Hall, Sellwood, at 8 o clock this evening in support of William Hanley, Progressive nominee for the United States Senate. Miss H. C. Wilson also will speak. A musical programme win be rendered. Miss Monroe will be active In the Hanley campaign from now until elec tion time and will make a series of street speeches in Portland in the final week's whirl. According to M. A. Ferguson, of the Evening Tribune, of Pendleton, Dr. Withycombe will carry Umatilla Coun ty by a large plurality in spite of the fact that it is Dr. Smith's former home county. He also reports that Booth is exceptionally strong in the big wheat county of Eastern Oregon. C. W. Halderman, a leading merchant of Astoria, was at Republican state headquarters yesterday and reported that Clatsop County will go Republi can, as usual. He says that the county committee there is very active, has es tablished a headquarters and is going to make things hum from now until November 3. A meeting of Democratic women will be held in the party headquarters this afternoon to arrange for a "rally" at the P'lic Library next week. Wed nesday evening, October 21, is the date tentatively agreed upon. A number of prominent Democrats, including some of the candidates, are expected to speak. The "rally" will be managed by the women. Dr. Withycombe is on his way back from Klamath County and will meet the voters in Ashland tomorrow. The Yamhill Republicans had a big get-together meeting at Sheridan yes terday afternoon under the auspices of the Women's Republican Club of that county. The meeting was largely at tended by delegations from the wom en's clubs of Xewberjr. Carlton and Mc Minnville and a large number of the county candidates were present. The state committee was represented by ex-Governor T. T. Geer. who made the principal address. W. P. O'Brien, of the, Astoria Box Company, of Astoria, was a visitor to Portland yesterday. He spoke most optimistically regarding the chances for Republican success in Clatsop County at the coming election. F. H. Hall, of Cottage Grove, writing to the Republican state committee, says: "'I cannot see why this town will not go strongly Republican. They seem to talk of Booth strongly as Senator, also for Withycombe and fcUwley." WOOL PRICES JUMP British Embargo Has Immedi ate Effect in America. DOMESTIC STOCKS LIGHT Boston Merchants' Holdings Gain $500,000 in Value Over Night. Germany Seizes Supplies In Belgium, France and Russia. England's embargo on the exportation of wool, announced In the Associated Press dis patches a few days ago, was worth $500,000 over night to the wool trade In Boston, ac cording to the statement of & prominent wool merchant. , Ha figured that approxl- mately 50,000,000 pounds of wool under con trol of Boston merchants had been marked up at least a cent a pound since the news of the embargo arrived.. This was the Im mediate result of the action taken by the Brltlah Government to conserve its supply of wool for the manufacture of clothing and blankets for the soldiers. The second re sult, ' from the point of view of Sie wool merchant, will be thatthe trade, instead of facing a possible loss, la In a good position to break even and perhaps make some profit on the high-priced wool it bought before the recent slump in pricea. In commenting on the change In the sit uation, the Boston Transcript says: Tne British embargo Is better than a high tariff on woo: for it absolutely cuts off any immediate importation of wool. The other countries In the war had an embargo on wool and wool products long ago; now England baa refuaed to permit the expor tation of wool, topa, yarna, etc.. so that the United States for aome months must exist on the supply it has In hand. And that supply is very short: probably the amount of wool In Boston , is not larger than it usually is at the first of January. Thus the altuatibn la that of a reatrlcted aupply and little prospect of - getting new auppliea for some months to fill a demand that has been Increased as a result of the cutting oft of the Importation (of woolen gooda and an In creased demand for oui gooda abroad. "The proapect to the manufacturer of woolen goods, however. Is quite the reverse. Many manufacturers believed that at the wool auctions in London, which opened yes terday, they would be able to buy their auppliea ahead. Now they must buy here and they will have to pay the price that the wool merchanta ask. Many of them, of course, have contracts wnlch will not be af fected by the change In prices of wool, but those who have to buy from now on will have their profits cut into and eventually will have to Increase their prices on gooda to the conaumer. In the course of events that the war conditions apparently will bring about, all sorts of clothing that la made of wool, except perhapa the finest grades, will be higher to the conaumer. . ."Along in the Summer wool prices rose considerably. Then .they slumped on the expectation of low prices in the London market. But with the London market cut off they . are bound to rlae again, though panic prices are not anticipated. "The pinch in the mills is likely to come about the first of the year, and what con ditions will be then depends to a large ex tent upon the progreaa of the war in Eu rope. By the first of - the year, if present conditions hold, the available wool aupply In the United States Wall be about used up. The .wool from Austr.ua. South America and elsewhere outside our borders cannot possibly come in any great quantities until late in February or the first of March, so there may be. a period when the mills will hare little material to work upon. Then the situation may be serious for the manu facturers and for -the- consumers." According to the New York Journal of Commerce. Germany has seized large quan tities of wool in the raw and partly manu factured atate lu Prance, Belgium and to some- extent in Russia, Thia material has Dttftu -forwarded to Germany, where It Is be ing worked up into all kinds of fabrics and garments for military purposes. The amount of wool and topa seized in France and Bel gium waa not divulged by the official who sent- thia highly interesting information. In one quarter it waa slated that the Germans had shipped millions of pounds of wool and topa out of Belgium. Verviers. the leading woolen manufacturing center of Belgium, waa denuded of wool auppliea shortly after tha German army passed, tnrough that city. The worsted combing, spinning and weav ing Industries of France are located in the northern part of the country. Every good sized" parcel of wool, topa and yarns lying at Tourconing and Roubaix, it is said, has been taken over by the Germans. The seiz ures In Russia were mee at Lodz shortly after the outbreak of the war. HOLIDAY OBSERVED IX GRAIN" TRADE, No Business Pasln2W Local or Country Wheat TRarketa. As yesterday waa a. holiday In the Amer ican grain markets, no vuslneaa was trans acted at the Merchanta' Exchange, although there was a good attewcance of grain men at the noon hour. The country markets were also inactive throughout the day. It was predicted that the Eastern markets would record a sharp gatnt today as a re sult of the war developments since Satur day. -In that event, there may be more, life to local trading. Commenting on the demand" for hard wheat in Italy, the Nazione. of Florence, says : - While there is no Immediate need to im port American wheat for bread making, it la Important that we showta be in position to obtain it as a subatltute lor the hard wheat heretofore imported from Ruasia. the ex portation of which haa recently been for bidden by the Ruasian Government. Thia hard wheat is chiefly used for making macaroni and other pawtes. and we are led to suppoae that, once assured of the im portation of such a commodity from the United -States, the Italian Government will proceed to withdraw lta decree forbidding the exportation of alimentary pastes from Italy. "Prices on the Italian markets for wheat do not show any activity; they remain calm and unchanged, and businesa goea on very slowly because of lack of ready cash. Prices of 'frumenton' (hard wheat) are decreas ing on account of the expected good crop. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange aa follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Haj- Monday 121 7 3J 21 31 Year ago l-o 2-1 - 16 lio IS Season to date ft'-d Year ago 37 S4 - 07 6: 730 HOP BUYING 18 STILL - HEAVY Fewer Offerings by Growers Enable Dealers to Buy Cheaper. Hon buyina was heavy on Sunday and Monday. Offerings by growers were liberal that dealers were enabled to buy at a lower range of prices. One lot changed hands between dealers yesterday at 10 Vt cents, which is believed to have been the highest price paid. There are choice lots in the country for which more money is available, but the growers will not part with them. The bulk of the transactions in the past two days have been at 10 cents. Among the deals reported yesterday were the following: C. A. Ball, of Independence, carload to Dprcas Bros., at S cents; Mrs. John Farley, of Dallas. 140 bales to Klaber, Wolf & Netter, at 10 cents; Crissel, of Aurora. 300 bales to Klaber, Wolf & Netter, at 10 cents; O. D. Rider, of Independence, 100 bales to H. L. Hart, at 10 cents; N. P. Nelson, of Newberg. 148 bales, at 10 cents; Wells, of Jefferson, SO bales, McNeff Bros, bought 150 bales of Oregons and 250 balea of Yaklmas. The Burton crop, of Independence, which was aold Saturday brought lOhi centa for 244 bales, taken by Dorcas Bros and 10H cents for 200 bales. bought by George Lewis. The Kentish Observer says of the Eng lish crop: "The yield proves to be much heavier ,Laaa anuas vsa Uta raat sanguine, had estimated, and In the aggregate It may reach 430.0UO hundredweights, a record crop from an acreage of less than 87.OO0 acres. It la also, we believe, a record for quality. Present prices are very dlsT appointing to growers, but the cauae ot the low rates Is largely due to the precip itate haste with which new hops were put on the market and the fact that sales have- been pressed. London dealers' trade circulars say of that market: . Wild, Keame & Co. There has been a good demand during the week. Brewers are apparently recognizing the fine quality of this crop and commencing operations on a more Liberal scale. Values remain un altered to a trifle firmer. Manger A Henley A better inquiry has prevailed during the past week and a lair amount of business has been done at cur rent rates, which are very disappointing to growers. . . W. H. & H. LeMay There has-been more' trade during the past week aotr"'eon aequently a firmer tone pervades the market- Thornton AY Manger Trade has Increased so that a good demand is on, particularly for choice Fuaeles. Moat of the . larger growers are not disposed to offer them at current values. For selected lots of East Kents to is paid, but the range of prices la 84a to 90s generally. For good copper hops the currency is 60s to 75s. Trade 'In yearlings is very dull. Good Demand for Late Fruits. - There was a good demand -yesterday for auch fruits as are available at' this time of year. A car of fine Tokays arrived .from the South and were held firm at So cents. Receipts of Concords were - small. Local muscats now coming 1 show the effect of rain. There was a good movement In apples, particularly the. medium priced grades. ' A car of Isle of Pines grapefruit was received. Poultry Saves Drag. Poultry sales dragged yesterday. -Receipts were small, but local buyers held back and the market was weak. Prices were quoted unchanged from Saturday. Seattle buyers offered to clean up stocks at -.124 cents. Dressed meats were quiet, especially - pork.
