INTENSE EMOTION SHOWN Toung and Old, Rich and Poop Pro- claim to Favorite Son That At tacks by Political Opponents and in Press Are Resented. EUGENE. Or- Oct. 12. (Special.) R. A. Booth, called home by the peo ple of Eugene and Lane County to re ceive their approval in face of at- j tacks upon him "by Governor West and political opponents, declared tonight that he believed these acts of com mendation clinched his election. He referred to two specific instru ments of approval. One was a letter presented to him tonight as a surprise by the women of Eugene containing an appeal to Oregon women to recog nize Mr. Booth as he is known by the women of hts home town. Mr. Booth's voice showed intense emotion as he thanked the women. The other was a. statement signed by virtually every business man in Eu gene, expressing confidence in the in tegrity of K. A. Booth, and thanking him for the service rendered Lane County by the company which he founded. -Even the students of the university spontaneously responded to the ovation tendered him by his home city today. With their student band they "marched from the campus tonight to join the throng that paraded the business streets in a remarkable demonstration of loyalty and appreciation. It was the same' everywhere he went throughout the county during the day. The mill men at Springfield left their posts to greet him. In his office today old pioneers, men who had worked for him years ago, and men who had grown up with him, climbed the stairs with the younger business men to pay their respects. "I am the nominee of a party largely in the ascendency in Oregon." said Mr.- Booth, after being presented with the two statements from his fel low townsmen. "The indications are that the people will vote as they are registered. This means that I "will be elected unless the people of Oregon believe the stories that are being cir culatd by my political enemies from the platform and through the press. "Whether or not I am capable or worthy of this is best known by my neighbors and friends. Appreciation la Exprewd. "If the people of Eugene and Lane County can Indorse me as they did when they petitioned my candidacy, as they have done by the reception given me everywhere today, and by the writ ten testimony given me tonight, such as that which the business men, with out regard to political affiliation, and the women of Eugene have given me if these statements can be credibly re ceived by the people of Oregon, it will guarantee my election. "U feel, therefore, that the service you have rendered me this day by these written statements and by your words " of approval and by the ovation given me at this meeting is the greatest help you could possibly give my candidacy. Only you who know me best know how deeply 1 appreciate it." The letter handed Mr. Both from the women of Eugene reads as follows: "To Mr. K. A. Booth: "We, your neighbor women, who have intimate acquaintance with you that has extended over many years and who earnestly petitioned you to be come a candidate for the United States Senate, desire to express our renewed interest in you and your candidacy. "We desire most emphatically to re sent the slurs aimed at you by your political enemies now in high places in Oregon; we wouia line to nave tne message go from us to the women of Oregon that we know you intimately we have seen you in your home and you in ours that we are your friends and sup porters because we know that. If elect ed, you will carry into the National counsels the same high moral attri butes, and the same unselfish devotion to right, that has characterized your nome ana community life. "In every battle that we have fought for purity, for home protection, for civic virtue, you nave Been our coun Eeiur ana neiper; we want the same spirit, tne same high purposes that nave cnaracierized your home and com- mumty lite, that has made homes brighter, schools stronger and churches more effective through your influence and direct help, to be carried through your election to every home under our nag. Detractors Are Condemned. "We regret that In this advanced age of your beloved and progressive state that people who have been honored and advanced by the vote of the people of the state should so far forget common oecency as to make the attack that has recently been made upon you, but your Influence for good in this state will be a potent. force when their names are forgotten." Following is the statement circulated by a self-appointed committee of busi ness men and subscribed to by repre sentatives of virtually every business firm In Eugene, regardless of politics: "We, the undersigned business men of Eugene. Or., having noticed the at tacks on the personal integrity of K. A. Booth, and on the methods by which the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company has acquired its timber lands, desire to ex. press our full confidence in Mr. Booth and our appreciation of the valuable service rendered our county by him and the company which he founded. Vast Operations Recited. 'This statement is based on years of observation and business relations with I:. A. Booth and the Booth-Kelly Lum ber Company. They have not been tim ber land speculators or exploiters, but manufacturers of lumber. They have acquired timber not for speculative pur poses, but to provide logs for their ex tensive lumbering operations. Since they began operating in this county In 1S96 they have distributed in our county nearly J10.000.000, and each month have given employment to hundreds of our citizens. "Having seen the honorable career of this great institution in our midst and having satisfied ourselves of the Integrity and splendid business ability of R. A. Booth, we resent the impu tation of dishonest methods or motives in our esteemed fellow-townsman, and In the company bearing his name. "This Is qot a matter of politics, but a simple act of justice taward aiK hon orable fellow-citizen and the greatest single industry in our county.' Overflow Meeting- Addmud. Five hundred persons, unable to gain omittance to me courtnouse, were addressed tonight as they gathered on the Courthouse lawn by Mr. Booth, who left the Auditorium, packed with people, to speak from the Courthouse steps. "I want you to vote for the man which you feel will best represent you; that will put the most bread on your table. If your vote does not elect me I have no fault to find. "I have asked myself what I can do to place more men in your university and schools, to see more virtue and less vice in the state. I want to see the time when the railroads shall carry products of this country to the mar kets of the East and to the harbors on the West. Our prosperity depends largely upon our ability to reach the markets of the West: the wealth of the forest and the farms must move Westward. The sands of the Columbia must be cleared away and from this stream there must be a silver path to every Western nation. Every acre of land susceptible to cultivation must produce crops. I want to see a system of rural credit so extended that the production may be Increased manifold." At the close of Mr. Booth's address a member of the local Women's Chris tian Temperance Union addressed Mr. Booth, saying: "There Is no question in my mind as to how you stand on the temperance question, but others wish to know." Mr. Booth replied r' "I can best answer that question by referring to a letter addressed to the committee on candidates from the Prohibition convention in reply to a letter In which they asked if I would ace'ept their party nomination. I do not have the letter with me and do not remember the exact date, ' but it was about the first or second of May, as near as I can remember. My reply was as follows: ' 'In the National Congress policies are carried through party organization. L am aspiring to this omce tnrougn the Republican party, I have no oppo sition for that nomination, but could not accept the nomination of any other party until after I receive the nomi nation of the Republican party. After I receive that nomination, if I had your indorsement it would make my election more certain. But whether I have your indorsement or not I will in the future, as in the past, favor National prohibition.' " BOY'S BODY FOUND: COMPANION HELD Matthew Harris, 11, Missing Since Saturday, Taken Frorn Creek by Father. BULLET PIERCES HEART APPEAL- IS MADE TO FRIENDS Mr. Booth Says He Looks to Peoplo to Defend Him in Lane County. EUGENE. Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) R. A. Booth, Republican candidate for United States Senator, looks to the people of Lane County to defend him from the insinuations of the Governor of the state. So he told the people of Junction City in a short address there this morning from his motor car. when hundreds of loyal friends surged about the machines, a dozen of them, which formed the procession that escorted Mr. Booth from Eugene this morning. "When the people of Lane County made me a candidate for the United States Senate they gave me a good certificate of character," said Mr. Booth, "It has not been a part of my policy, even though the attacks are frequent and vicious from political op ponents and men in high positions, to make further answer to these." Mr. Booth referred to the day in Eugene when several hundred Eugene friends appeared at his home in per sonal petition, imploring that he be come a candidate. He afterward said that it was the pressure of his Eu gene friends that caused him to ac cept the tendered honor. "The question as to who will be Senator must be determined by every individual voter as to what he or she thinks is best for himself." continued. Mr. Booth at Junction City. "And by this token the people of Junction City will decide that which is best for Lane County, the state of Oregon and the United States. They must decide whether it is better to be represented by one of their 'own community, who has had a part in the essential growth of western Oregon, and who is a mem ber of that party that has made the growth .of the nation and has com pelled the respect of others. The party's policies have been to protect American interests, the farmer, the la borer and the manufacturer. Whether these policies shall be re-established under Republican domination, or whether the conditions that are now casting' shadows and that were brought about by the free trade policy of the Democratic party shall continue is for you to decide. "Oregon, the United States, are In terested In good prices for agricul tural products and, labor. And so long as conditions are obtained that bring these results, the country will be prosperous and the people happy." GIRL FACES STARVATION Capable Bookkeeper Out of Work and Penniless, Asks Chance.
