TTTE MORNTXG OTJFGOXTAX, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 15, 1914. 17 MIL BOOTH DIVIDES TIME TO VISIT ALL Republican Senatorial Candi date Arranges Itinerary for Ten Days Ahead. CITIES CLAMOR FOR TALKS Portland Labor Organizations Com plain That LaTferty's Campaign Literature Does Xot Bear Union Label Reports Kosy. Cemsnda upon the time of Robert A. Booth lor Bpeaklng engagements in Portland and other parts of the state are so urgent that h and his campaign advisers are preparing a careful sched ule of appointments that he may be able to meet the maximum number of . Individual men and women voters be tween now and election time. Mr. Booth has completed his Itiner ary for the next ten days, but his time for the last five or eIx days of the campaign remains open. In addition to his dates already concluded he will try to visit other points In Western Oregon whenever time will permit. After devoting this morning to per- r Nonal calls on voters in Portland, Mr. 'Booth will go to Woodburn this after noon. He will speak to some of the Republican voters there and call upon ' pome of the business houses. He will return to Portland this evening and will be here all day tomorrow. . He will go to Salem Saturday and . will addreea several public meetings there in addition to renewing acquaint ance with old friends and calling upon other voters individually. He will be at his home in Eugene over Sunday, re turning to Portland next Monday. Monday afternoon he will address a meeting at Hunnyslde in Portland and probably will attend a meeting in Portland Monday evening. On Tuesday he. with other Republi cans, will go to Crook County and will remain there Wednesday and Thursday. He will visit Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville and otliere principal points In the interior county and will stop at farmhouses and smaller settlements on his cross-county tours. Mr. Booth in tended to visit Crook County earlier in the campaign, but waited in the hope of having X. J. Slnnott. Republican Rep resentative in Congress in the Second District and a candidate for re-election, accompany him. Mr. Booth will be back In Portland Friday, October 23, and will do cam paign work here that day. On the fol lowing day Saturday he will go to Forest Grove and will pass Sunday at home. One of Mr. Booth's principal cam paign speeches will be delivered at the Multnomah Hotel at noon, Monday, October i!6, before the Portland Trans portation Club. This will be the club's regular bi-weekly luncheon aud he will be the principal speaker. On the following day Tuesday, Oc tober S7 he will attend a dinner of the trainmen's organization and deliver an address. 1 - - - After that date, but one week will unajn . before - tlia election- and Mr. Both will try to divide his time so that he will be able to meet the great est number of voters. He is receiving invitations every day from cities and towns In all parts of the statu, but as he has visited every county ill Oregon since the campaign began, ho proposes to pass the remain der of his time in Portland and vicin ity and occasionally go to his home at Eugene. Labor organisations lit Portland are asking A. AV; Latferty's campaign man agers why the Lafferty campaign llfc fcratare now being distributed ee gen ferously through Lafferty's dtstrlet was hot printed in Portland and mere par ticularly Vihy it uoes net bear the ttnion labek Lafferty has Rone put ef bia way to fcsve printed in the Congressional ftocord a series t?S articles in which he poors forth his biased opinions of his JioliticaJ fenoinlea. the newspapersi the "interests'' and all ethers whd are hot lding in Lafferty's campaign for re Meetiotv Now hei has had these "e tracts from the Congressional Record" iirinted in pamphlet form and is send ing then out to tho Voters his dls trict through the mails: .

Both will be open-air meetings, if the weather permits: if the weather is bad the Sellwood meetinar will be held in the sc-hoolheuse and the Lents meeting- in the Orange Hall, The speakers at Sellwood will be Dr. James Withycombe, candidate for Gov ernor: Thomas M. Hurlburt, eandidats for Sheriff, and eji-Oovernor T. T, Qeer. At Lents the speakers will be C. N, MeArthur. candidate for Representative in Conmess; s. B-. Huston, nominee for the Legislature, and Qeorge Hall, F. R. Prterson will preside. Women are being invited to attend both meetings; Dates fixed by the "dry" forces for p.e appearance of the members of the Flying Squadron" in Oregon are: Roseburg, October 22, 23 and 24 Portland, October 23, lit and 26. and Salem, October 31, as and 26. The "Flying Bquadron." composed of a few of the leading "dry" orators of the country, now la touring the West ern States on a special train. It con sists of more than 20 members. They are advocating prohibition in tho sev eral states and in the Nation at large but the "squadron" is not allied with any particular organization. Kvery candidaten the Itepubllean state and county ticket will atumd the dinner at the Commercial Ch.b toMof, row evening as a g-uest of tiu kmij. ttve committee of the County Central Committee. Likewise every member of tha state and county commiues has been inyitcd to attend 33eciaH3r the wojuen, Tho executive r.orrmiixoe propose In this manner to assemble -ttve enjire at publican orfjLBLfczaxiEn mxter ejo, of and to prepare far the final two weeks' spurt before the election. The Republican situation will be dis cussed calmly and dispassionately and the details necessary to assure com plete Republican success will be out lined thoroughly. Wlllard L. Marks. County Clerk of Linn County, is here attending the Knights of Pythias convention and incidentally Inquiring into local polit ical conditions. He reported at Re publican state headquarters yesterday that conditions at Albany favor elec tion of the complete Republican ticket. The attacks by the local Demo cratic press," he says, "are heloing Mr. Booth. In spite of the fact that Albany formerly was the home of Senator Chamberlain, I am confident that Mr. Booth will carry Linn County. Republican voters at Carlton will hold a "rally" next week. The exact date has not yet been fixed. Wallace McCamant, of Portland, has ac cepted the invitation to speak for the state ticket- The Carlton organiza tion was exceedingly active in the 1912 campaign. A visitor at Republican county head quarters yesterday was Joseph Weber, committeeman in precinct No. 98. He is one of the most active Republican workers in the county and reports con. ditions favorable to the whole ticket. Leonard R. Gilbert, of Albany, who was In Portland yesterday, reported to E. D. Baldwin, secretary of the Re publican State Committee, that both Mr. Booth and Dr. Withycombe will carry Linn County. The Republicans are well organized there, he says, and sure of success. Citizens there will vote the ticket straight, he predicts. W. H. Heseman, of Gates, Or., writ ing to the State Republican Committee about political conditions in his neigh borhood, says that political matters from a Republican standpoint are "O. K." in Rack Precinct for Governor and for Senator. Vawter Crawford, publisher of the Gazette-Times, of Heppner. in writing to the state committee, says: "R. A Booth is strong in Morrow County; so Is Dr. Withycombe. It Is a Republican year up this way. Of this there is no doubt." Democratic state headquarters in the Swetland building is preparing to mail out to the voters of Oregon great quan tities of copies of a speech delivered in the United States Senate, on May 27 last by Senator John F. Shafroth, of Colorado, in which he defends the new Federal currency bill in the face of some adverse criticism. The " purpose of this wholesale dis tribution in Oregon of the address made by a Senator from Colorado nearly five months ago is to point out to the voters the merits in the currency measure for which the present Democratic Admin istration takes credit. An appeal then will be made for votes for Senator Chamberlain on the ground that he is the ardent supporter of the Wilson Administration. x Incidentally, the campaign documents are being mailed from the Portland postofflce under Senator Shafroth's frank. More than two score young women who reside at the home of the Portland WrAnan's Union were addressed on Tuesday evening by J. E. Werleln and Mrs. Alice R. Nugent on the issues of the campaign. After the speeches it was learned that more than half of the girls were not registered. Yesterday those who had not registered were taken to the Courthouse. Nearly all of them affiliated with the Republican party. Dr. C. J. Smith. Democratic nominee for Governor, is doing campaign work in Southern Oregon for a few days. He will go south as far as Ashland and will visit several intermediate points. He will return to Portland late In the week and devote most of the remaining two weeks of the campaign to work in and around Portland. A meeting of the Republican Women Election Officials' Association will be held at the Public Library next Thurs day afternoon for the purpose of re ceiving final Instructions on election work and to hear applications from other women who want to fill vacan cies on the election boards. It has been learned that there are nu merous vacancies and it is the purpose of this organization to fill all the Re publican vacancies promptly so that the new appointees may serve also at the proposed recall election. One of the most encouraging reports received at Republican county head quarters in the last few weeks is that of the poll recently conducted in Pre cinct No. 68, which heretofore always has been a strong Democratic district. Every time that Chamberlain ran either for Governor or for United States Sen ator he defeated, his opponent at the ratio of 2 to 1. An impartial poll of the same precinct completed yesterday shows that 152 voters intend to vote for Booth and 148 for Chamberlain. ir the same proportion of voters have changed their political preference in other precincts it is evident that Booth will, carry Multnomah County by a big plurality. Milton A. Miller, collector of inter nal revenue, will go to Newbere Fri day evening to address a Democratic meeting. Local Democrats at Newbere also will speak. William Hanley, Progressive Sena torial candidate, spoke at Arlington and Heppner yesterday and visited many voters in Gilliam and Morrow counties. He will visit Wasco County today, speaking at Dufur and several other points, and will return to Port land tomorrow. W. S. U'Ren, independent candidate for Governor, addressed the state club women at Eugene yesterday. He will visit Asniana and Medford today and will remain in Southern Oregon until the end of the week. Miss Anne Shannon Monroe will speak at the Public Library tomorrow even ing in support of William Hanley. can didate for Senator. A brief musical programme also has been arranged. A. F. Flegel. candidate for Congress on the Democratic ticket, made two speeches in two different parts of town last night. riis nrst was before a group of Woodstock voters in the Woodstock Methodist Church, and the second before a crowd in the Brooklyn schoolhouae. Ex-Governor -T. T. Geer will go to Hlllsboro on Saturday to deliver an address before a group of Washington County women, who propose to or ganize an auxiliary to the Republican county committee. Hark Holmes, a Democratic war- horse, is reported to nave deserted Chamberlain. "And we are given to understand," says the Tillamook Headlight, in com menting on this report, "that there are Democrats in Tillamook who have had enough of Chamberlain's free trade non-partisan spectacular performances. and we aro somewhat surprised to nnd so many Democrats flsrhtlng Chamber lain and the Umltn-W est-Chamberlaln political boss combination." B, J, Jones, who Is writing letters to the Democratic papers attacking sum of the candidates on the Repub lican ticket, is the same Jones who waa defeated for the Republican nomi nation tor Congress in the First; Dis trict is the May primaries. Jt ie pointed out, even by the Dersa- crats, that when Jones was a candi date for the nomination against W. C. Hawiey, who defeated him. he stood for a protective tariff, and they are aimised at hi present inconsistency in clamor ing r the election of Chamberlain, wooee party ;s committed u fra Uvada policie. SUGAR OFF QUARTER Pacific Coast Markets Follow Decline in East. UNDERCURRENT IS EASY Trade Interested in OfTer of 'Cargo of Austrian Crystals at Low Price Importation Not Likely to Be Effected. As a consequence of the break In the New York sugar market Tuesday afternoon refined sugar prices in all the Pacific Coast markets were reduced 25 cents a hundred yesterday. Prices are now where they stood early in August, with a new crop coming on. a further decline is not Improbable. The New York trade Is interested In the reported offer of 12,000 tons of Austrian sugar at a price that would bring the sugar to a port in this country at a cost of 4.75 cents per pound, duty paid, without includ ing the cost of war risk insurance. Author ities versed in international law have de clared that goods purchased from a warring nation and paid for by a neutral could not be captured on the high seas as a prize of war. It is therefore, possible, should Amer ican Interests so desire, to send an American steamer to an Austrian or Italian port and load a full cargo of Austrian sugar and sail through the Mediterranean unmolested by British or French war vessels. In com menting on the matter the Journal of Com' merce says: "It is understood that neither Germany nor Austria are in want of sugar, but tho oener nere Is that they will not tolerate th export of sugar during the war. While the ract tnat the production of the two coun tries may be well over their normal con sumptive needs is readily conceded. It is understood that surplus stocks of lurir will be held and a large part of the acreage will bs devoted to grain crop on next SDrini'i sowings. "By this plan Germany and Austria, will be able to offset the effect of England's stoppage or exports of grain from this country to Germany through Rotterdam. The importation of grain from Russian BlacR Sea ports has naturally been stomd but fortunately the Austrian crop this year win oe oi sufficient proportions to enable ootn Germany and her ally to overcome the blockade of their ports."

At Ickham. in East Kent, 87 pockets were produced from 44 acres an average of about 29 cwts. per' acre. And there are numbers of similar cases all over Kent. "There is an Increasing demand for new hops, but ihe prices continue much below the ideas of growers. The choice East Kent growths are not yet on the market. From 4 to f per cwt, is the prevailing currency for best hops." JLTE SAID TO BE PLENTIFUL IN INDIA. Final Estimate of Out-Turn Is In Excess of Probable Puppljr. The official rendering of tho final jute forecast is uiven bv. Ahe Glasgow Herald. The estimate is approximately 3.3S0.OO0 acres, with an out-turn'of 10,444,000 bales, or a vield per acre of 3.11 bales.. Th ac tual fiaures of last croo were 3.181.514 acres, and 9.S3B.675 bales, or a yield of 3.00 bales per acre. The full consuming capacity of the world Is well on to 10.000,000 bales oer annum in normal times. The exclusion of Germany and Austria at the ' present time means at least 1.000.000 bales, while there are other countries that will be unable to register normal consumption. There Is therefore olenty of jut In Imlla. Business Is ruling very qlet. and prices of the raw material are depreciating, says th Herald. First marks were indicated as low as 122 11107).

Spot jute was quite necrlected. notwithstanding the great er difficulty in shipments. Yarns were Idle at 2s. d. (S0.69) for common eight-pound cops and at 2s. ll,d. (0. 721 for medium spools. Sacktntr sizes were also off in sale, while tho sackinr cloth trade gave evidence of a pause, even In tho grades that have been a matter of great urgency of late. There was little doing all round, even In tho matter of testing prices. UIGHEK BIDS IN 1VHR.1T MARKET Red Russian Is Bought at 92 Cents at Merchants' Exchange. There is a little selling of wheat in the country every day, but farmers are not of fering freely and as long as local stocks are so heavy dealers will not operate on an extensive scale. The local market was firmer yesterday and bids on the exchanges were half a cent to 2 cents higher. Red Russian was again the strong feature. 5000 bushels selling at 02 cents. For club 7 cents was bid and i asked. Dealers assert that wheat can be bought cheaper on the Sound, where the congestion is worse than here.

Arrivals at Winnipeg were onlv 303 cars today, as ax a Inst 1215 cars a year ago, and only lOO cars In eight for tomorrow. Under such conditions reports found ready acceptance that the stock: of wheat in Canada was reduced to a much greater extent than shown by- the visible supply total, and that country, elevators were correspondingly bare. Corn ruled firm is a result of wet weather damars and of the bulge in wheat. Big exports helped to lift (he oats mar ket. Provisions advanced sharply. Influenced by an estimate that lard stocks here- would show a decrease for Che first half of Oc tober at the rate of 2'HX tierces a. day." The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.

NEW TORK, Oct. 14. Wall street re covered today in a. measure from the de- Dression caused by recent nowi irom abroad. Tbe committee which supervises the -aies of unlisted bonds and stocks reported a diminution of off erlnrs and a better de mand for tbe new city notes and state issues. On the other hand, prices In the unorraniecd market, which trades in listed stocks, manifested a sagging tendency. A. semblance of former activity in the district was Imparted by the reopening of me euro marKet. wnlch oeait in some ox the low-priced specialties. Trading: was restricted to stocks setltne under 4lO a shore. In most Instances auotations were on a level or above July tfO prices, but dealings which had the sanction of the stock exchange were very light. r oreijjn exchange took on a more defi nite basis In conneouence of the formal organisation of the $H0.OO0.O0O gold pool. Kates lor cable und sight drafts were frac tionally higher, but the supply of bills on London was small. Further small shipments of cold to Ottawa were announced. Sales of cooper at the recent low record prices were made and consumption of the metal now Is estimated at about (50 per cent of normal. Llstlessncss continues to feature the steel trade, with the drift toward smaller op erations and weakening of prices. Almost the only development in the local money market was the new low figure of tt per cent for mercar.Ule paper. Until today only the highest class of these documents was accepted at that figure, but with continued - ease and increased supply of cash banks were buying more freely. There was virtually no market for time loans. due almost entirely to lack of borrowers. Sterling Kxchancje. . NEW TORK, Oct. 14.
