As a result of -utter impartiality in his distribution of a million campaign letters. Candidate C. J. Smith has at last forwarded, a communication to Candidate W. S. U'Kea It is understood that Mr. U'Ren, when the letter first reached him, hastily assumed, with great gratification, that the doctor had broken his dignified Hence and had answered Mr. U'Ren's Inquiry of many weeks ago as to the Democratic candidate's opinion on the prohibition question. Or. perhaps, thought Mr. U'Ben, it may be a reply to my ancient challenge to debate the (1500 exemption. But it was something far more inti mate in tone. This was It: October 27. 19.-Mr. W. S. CRen. Ore- .. - i . rr ra.r Kir and Friend: Know ing the deep Interest you hold In all public matter. I write you concerning; my can didacy for Governor. I do this in the belief that there are issues at stake In which we have a mutual sympathy and Interest; es pecially do I hope and believe we are agreed that the effort to restore the old machine rule and destroy the direct primary should be f ought down. t. win fun heln me in the campaign I will be deeply grateful and any communlca ' tlnna will be treated In the strictest con tidence. I hope that you will give me your views and Ideas. I should like to consult with you as to what I might do to improve my candidacy in your locality. Perhaps also tiipre aro Questions you would like to ask me. and if so, 1 shall be entirely trank in answer ing them. Tmttlnr to hear from you and assuring you again that I will appreciate and treat any suggestions as personal and confidential, I am, with best wiBhes and sincere regards. yours very truly, (Sisned) C. J. SMITH. Answer Made Promptly. Gratified beyond measure for the op nnrtunitv offered Candidate U'Ren to advise Candidate Smith how best to beat him and the other gubernatorial aspirants. Candidate U'Ren penned the following reply: n,,ti Cltv. Or.. Oct. 28. 1914. C. J. Smith. M. D., Democratio Candidate for ii.mnr Broadway Building, Portland, Or. My Dear Friend: Your letter of last Tues day gives me much joy, and especially the part where you say "I should like to con sult with 'you as to what I might do to tn v eandidacT in your locality. Per haps also there are questions you would like -to ask me. and If so, I will be entirely frank in answering them. I am sorry you waited until six days be fore the close of the campaign before con sulting me, but I suppose you nave not nan .tl.r.ctorv answers from the many thou sand other citizens to whom you sent this same letter. The fact that I am the Inde pendent candidate for Governor will not pre vent me from giving you all the advantage of my political experience and because of your request I will asK you two question.. Are you in favor of adopting, the "Oregon irv" amendment? If you are you can gain many "dry1 votes by making speeches for It. If you are opposed to it you can gain manv ""wet" votes by making speeches against it. You lose by not speaking either way. "Pointers" Are Given. Are you in lavor of adopting No. 326, the $1500 homes tax exemption amendment? You can gain many votes among the little home makers by talking for this amendment. If you are against it you oan improve your candidacy with the wealthy members of the Non-Partisan League by saying so in your speeches. You ought to lose votes from both sides it you say nothing, and I believe you will. You can improve your candidacy by pub licly advocating adoption of Nos. 348 and 850, the amendments for proportional rep resentation and abolition of the State Sen ate, both of which you used to favor. You can still further improve your can didacy by publicly opposing Nos. 355 and 857, the last two measures on the ballot, as well as the one to create the new office of Lieutenant-Governor. There Is so little time before the election that if you would get the full benefit of my suggestions you should make the apeechea and quickly advertise them in every acces sible newspaper In Oregon. 1 know a num ber. of other good suggestions, but it is too late now to make them useful. What a pity you did not ask to "consult" me along about the first of June, or even when we met at La Grande on the Fourth of July. In conclusion, my dear friend and doctor. you are too timid about expressing your con vlctlons. Get some courage to defend pub licly such as you have. Talk and write for the measures you favor and against those you oppose. Be free in mind and say what you beliove is lor tne common good, even though you are a candidate, in that way you can render valuable public service with out being elected. Sincerely yours, W. S. U'REX, Independent Candidate for Governor. P. s. Be sure to write soon. I enjoy your letters so much. W. S. U'R.

If an offer made to City Commissioner Brewster yesterday by Dr. Frank L. Loveland. pastor of the combined Meth odist and Episcopal churches. Is ac cepted. the old Taylor-Street Church building at Third and Taylor streets will be converted Into a home for the unemployed during the coming Winter months. Last Winter the unemployed were housed in the old Gypsy Smith Audi torium on the West Side. After It was closed it was torn down and the city has not been particularly anxious to find a new buildine; because it is thought aucb a plan attracts large num bers of unworthy unemployed. How ever, the Taylor-Street Church plan will be considered. The church directors have offered to turn the building over to the city until late next Spring, when It is proposed to raze the structure. It is thought that the church officials will expect the building remodeled so that It will be a suitable hotel. FIREBOAT TO GO ON TEST City Commission to Take Trip on Cieorgo II. Williams for Trial. For the official test of the old fire- boat George H. Williams, which has Just been remodeled, members of the City Commission will take a cruise down the river in the boat next Tues day afternoon. Arrangements for th trip had been made for tomorrow, but it was decided Tuesday would be best on account of the election and the natural suspension of business for the day. It was voted unanimously that Fire Chief Dowell should serve refreshments at intervals during the trip. The. re freshments, however, if they are liquid, are ' to be no stronger than 'soft", elder or black coffee.

Republican nom inee for Governor at the luncheon of the Progressive Business Men's Club yesterday at the Multnomah Hotel, after receiving the most hearty ap plause given to any one of the four gubernatorial candidates, all of whom were sruests of the cluD. In fact, the applause was so aeaien- ing and prolonged that Dr. Withycombe was compelled to cau a nail, ana sun inelv say: "I thank you ail most Kinaiy ior this great reception and opportunity to speak to you, but you are taking up time most precious to me, as tne cnair man. Commissioner Bigelow, has given us but 15 minutes to tell you In what we believe. Rural Credits Big Benefit. Then, in an address, short but to the point, he told the crowd of 500 busi ness men of Portland now ne stooa, his olatform planks and his hopes, if elected to office, the highest in the gift of the state. He spoke of this land of opportunity, Oregon, with its immense resources, which the plan ot rural credits would benefit greatly, Dlan in which he was a great believer, and, if elected Governor, he heartily would favor. "With my three opponents, sitting here beside me, I am in favor of the direct primary, as I have twice been nominated tnrougn lis usage, ana re gard it as a" personal friend," said Mr. Withvcombe. "I stand for the single-item veto. In fact, gentlemen, I was the first public man to come out for this plan in my platform. That was eight years ago. I still stand by that plank In my plat form. I am in favor of rigid retrench ment We must do something to lower our expenses. There is a way In which 64 boards and commissions can be combined at less cost and yet bring about greater efficiency than we now have. I am for a, rigorous law en foreement. but I am not in favor of th Governor of the state making the laws and, I'm not in favor of the Governor busying himself in building up a ma chine.

He closed by repeating that he was in fa vor of a strict enforcement or tne law. U'Ren Is Jokester. Candidate U'Ren doesn't take his candidacy as a Joke, . but during nis address he cracked many a joke. He Dleaded for a business administration in the office of Governor as well as in the Legislature, scored the tax- dodgers and said he favored the $1500 exemption clause amenament. 'I'm for the little renow, saia. mr. n'Ren. ''the biff fellow can take care of himself. When I'm elected Governor will nrenare all appropriation Dins and will leave it to the Legislature, or the people, whetner or not tney shall be approved or rejected, but If and Legislature attempts to raise my fisrures on any appropriation one iu rant niece, then I will invoke the veto.
