THE 3IORXIXG OREGONTAN. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1914. SUPPORT PLEDGES IDE m ARTHUR Eastern Section of Multnomah County Solid for Repub- , lican Candidates. PERSONALITIES NOT LIKED 2fen and Women of Every Political Faith Announce Themselves as Ready to Vote for Advocates v of State's Prosperity. Eastern Multnomah County will re , turn a big majority for C.'N. McArthur, the Republican candidate for Repre sentative in Congress, anJ the re mainder of the Republican ticket For the last ten days Republican campaign orators have been giving; their best attention to that district and have created a strong sentiment favorable to the Republican party. Yesterday Mr. McArthur made a tour through Fairview, Troutdale, Gresham, Pleasant Home, Powell Valley and Ar leta and found the stage all set for the election, with everyone whom he met determined to vote for him already. He met and shook hands with more than 500 men and women. All or near ly all of them told him that they will vote for him and the other Republi can candidates. They pointed to the present business depression and to the fact that the Democratic tariff has disturbed their normal economic rela tions. They seemed to know that hard times always accompany Democratic Incumbency in Governmental power and almost invariably had determined upon the proper method to bring re lief support of the Republican can didates. Many voters seem to resent the at tempts of the Democratic campaign speakers and Democratic newspapers to becloud the main issue of the cam paign by indulging in personalities. A score of Democrats expressed their in tention to Mr. McArthur yesterday of supporting the Republican ticket for this reason. Some of them expect to vote for Mr. McArthur personally be cause of the vicious attacks against him by Governor West. "If the Governor keeps up his work It will increase my majority," he com mented last night. Mr. McArthur also is getting much support from the farmers of his district. They appreciate his support in their behalf aa a member of the Legislature. He voted for the sanitary livestock bill, the Agricultural College extension bill, the county fair appropriation bills and various good road laws, all of which were Intended to benefit the farmers. He himself Is engaged in farming and livestock-raising, and, therefore. Is in position to understand the needs of the farmers and take a personal interest in v their welfare. "I look for a big Republican vote in the eastern end of the county," he said on his return to Portland last night. Mr. McArthur spoke twice last night at the Scenic Theater in Montavilla and 1 at the Republican rally at Peninsula Park. Robert A. Booth, Republican nominee for the United States Senate, will ro . turn to Portland this morning from his triumphal tour through Southern Ore gon. He will pass the day in Portland. Mr. Booth will be guest of honor at a smoker given by the "Booth for Sena tor" Club in Moose Hall at 8 o'clock tonight. It is probable that he will speak also at the Republican rally in the Library building. On Sunday Mr. Booth will go to Dallas to address a meeting in one of the churches. He will go to Astoria to wind up the campaign on Monday night, and, returning to Portland, will go on Tuesday to his home at Eugene to cast his vote. He will get the elec tion returns at his home. William Hanley, Progressive candi date for the United States Senate, will . be tendered a reception by his friends and supporters in the main lobby of the Oregon Hotel between 3 and 5 o'clock today. Both men and women are invited. Mr. Hanley has compaigned over the entire state, but has been un able to see all the people. Inasmuch as many voters in Portland want to meet him personally, his campaign man agers have chosen this means of giving them that opportunity. C. T. Haas, a Portland attorney, calls attention to the fact that he is not connected with or associated with Frank C. Hesse, of Oregon City, who recently tried to Influence several Ger man residents of Portland to repudiate their Indorsement of Dr. James Withy combe for Governor and to Indorse W. S. U'Ren Instead. Frank C. Hesse Is a law partner of VRen. and was, it seems," alone re sponsible for the attempt to secure a repudiation of the Germans' Indorse ment. C. T. Haas Is secretary of the Deutsche Bund, and the recent reports concerning the man of similar name have caused hlm-much annoyance and embarrassment. A straw vote conducted in the lobby of the Morgan building yesterday aft ernoon gave the following returns Wlthyoombe, 2S: Smith, 12; McArthur, 35; Flegel. IS: Lafferty, 3; Booth. S3; Chamberlain, 11; Hanley. 11. Tom J. Sweeney, Progressive candi date for County Commissioner, is mak ing an active campaign in all parts of the county. He is visiting the rural districts by day and making street speeches by night. R. A. Booth will go to Dallas on Sunday to address a union meeting of the churches. It will not be a political address, but on account of the present interest in the campaign it is probable that hundreds of folks will try to hear him. It is reported that people at In dependence, Monmouth and surround ing towns plan to run excursions to Dallas for this occasion. Dan J. Malarkey, ex-preeldent of the State Senate, will speak for the Re publican ticket at Eugene tonight. He will make a special plea. It is under stood, for the election of the Sena torial candidates. A Progressive rally Is scheduled to take place at McMlnnvllle this even ing. Judge Lionel R. Webster, William Miller. Anne Shannon Monroe and Helen C. Wilson will be the speakers. The meeting will be held In the Yam hill County courthouse. George J. Cameron, Republican coun ty chairman, and Walter L. Tooae, of Dallasi went to Troutdale yesterday afternoon and spoke to more than 50 voters there in the interest of the Re publican state and county ticket. They pointed to the unnatural depression In business conditions and laid responsi bility for this situation at the door of the Democratic party. Gus C. Moser. of Portland, will make a Republican campaign address at In dependence pa Monday evening. He spoke at Dallas on Thursday evening and probably will speak somewhere to day. To test the length of time it will take to count the ballots at' next Tues day's election, the Republican Women Election Officials' Club will conduct a mock election in their headquarters at 801 Selling building from 2:30 to 3 o'clock this afternoon. Sample ballots will be used in the "voting." - Many inquiries have been made at the offices of the club by persons in terested in the result, on the time that tne results probably will be known. In this manner, it is believed, a definite answer to tne question may be pro- viaeo. Judge McGinn, who is advocating the measure on the ballot providing for a non-partisan Judiciary, has received an indorsement for the bill from Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Umatilla County. Judge Lowell contends that length of service on the bench does not neces sarily increase efficiency and argues that frequent changes might prove ad vantageous to attorneys and litigants. Senator Lane addressed the Central Labor Council last night on behalf of the Democratic candidates, and made a special plea to bring the laboring men into line for Senator Chamberlain. Senator Chamberlain will make two speeches in Portland tonight his first formal public appearance in this city in the present campaign. He will speak first at Washington High School and later at Lincoln High School. The Washington High School meeting will be opened at 7:30 o'clock by A. F. Flegel, candidate for Con gress, who will speak until 8 o'clock. at which time Senator Chamberlain will succeed him on the platform. Mr. Fle gel then will go to Lincoln High School, opening the meeting there at 8:15 o'clock. Senator Chamberlain will be gin to speak at Lincoln High about 9 o'clock. Evidence of the interest that citi zens of foreign birth are taking in the present campaign is furnished by the recent action of Jacob Spady, an Al blna grocer. In offering his automobile to the Republican County Committee for campaign purposes. Mr. Spady came to America a few years ago from Russia and, after working in the mills and factories for a while, started In the grocery business. The present de pression has hurt his trade, he reports. and he Is eager to have the Republi can party returned to power, so that conditions may be improved. W. C. Winslow, a prominent attorney of Salem, will speak for the Republi can ticket at Sidney. Linn County, on Saturday night. He also- has been making Republican speeches in other parts of .the state. Milton A. Miller, collector of internal revenue, is making a tour of Crook County in an effort to arouse Interest in the Democratic ticket. He will re main there until Saturday night. T. H. Cooper, of Corvallis, visited Re publican headquarters yesterday. He reports that conditions throughout Benton County favor the entire Repub lican ticket. As Benton Is Dr. Withyr combe's home county, his vote there will be exceedingly heavy, but Mr. Cooper thinks that Booth and the other candidates will do nearly as well. ' Mr. Booth has gained steadily In Benton County In the last few weeks, says Mr. Cooper, in spite of the recent visits there of Senator Chamberlain and Dr. Smith. Democratic government officials are reported as being more active In poll tics this year than any other time In the history of the service. Collector Miller has traveled from one end of the state to the other, advocating the re-election of Mr. Chamberlain. James Godfrey, a revenue agent, who has a position under Mi-.- Miller, is traveling over the state devoting his time almost exclusively to talking politics. It is said. Johnson Smith, another deputy, who was a guard under Chamberlain in the state prison for several years, now is making speeches all over the city, showing a map of Oregon and saying that Mr. Hanley owns two-thirds of Eastern Oregon. In addition to his other troubles, C. M. Hurlburt, who has been repudiated by the Republican County Committee as the Republican candidate for Rep resentative in the Multnomah-Clackamas joint district, now Is being sued for divorce. His wife, Evelyn J. Hurlburt, brought action against him in the Circuit Court yesterday, charging non-support and cruelty. She declares that they were married in March, 1910, and that his neglect of her began in the same year. She alleges that in February of this year he forcibly took a ring from one of her fingers and "soaked" it to get money for his own uses. She complains, also, that he has repudiated honest debts and that he has remained away from her for days at a time. She thinks he is In Wisconsin now. "I have tried to reform him, but there Is no reformation in him," Is one significant paragraph in the complaint. C. M. Hurlburt, it is understood. Is making no effort to be elected. Women voters will meet the women candidates of all political parties at the Central Library this after noon at 2:30 o'clock. Dr. Viola M. Coe will preside. It is probable, too, that several of the men who are seeking office at this election also will be heard. Every candidate will be al lowed three minutes to speak. This meeting will be entirely non partisan and all women who are run ning for office are expected to attend and to speak, regardless of their politi cal affiliations. A. W. Lafferty, candidate for Con gress on an independent basis, made two speeches last night. He has been confining his activities to the East Side and on some of his campaign trips has taken a brass band along to at tract the crowds. John L. Day, treasurer of the Repub lican County Committee, has taken charge of the headquarters of C. N. McArthur, Republican candidate for Congress, and will be in personal at tendance every day until the eve of the election. On account of the de mands upon his time, Mr. McArthur has found it impossible to remain In the office to meet the voters who call there to promise their support. Ex-Governor Geer will go to Wapi nitla, Wasco County, today and de-, liver an address for the Republican candidates there tonight. To reach Wapinitla he will travel on the Ore gon Trunk -Railroad to Hunt's Ferry and then take the stage over the moun tains for 12 miles. It is reported that the people of Wapinitla and vicinity are taking a keen interest In the Re publican cause. William Hanley, Progressive Sena torial nominee, accompanied by Judge Lionel R- Webster, went to Eugene yesterday afternoon. They spoke there last night. Judge Webster is making a determined campaign for Mr. Han ley's election and is pointing out the candidate's stand for the advancement of Oregon and his constructive pro gramme for the development of the state's natural resources. Mr Hanley will return home at noon today and will remain In Portland un til after the close of the campaign. Governor West made two speeches in Portland yesterday, at Peninsula Park station In the afternoon and at Mets ger Hall tn presham last night. William Miller spoke at the Star The ater in Linnton last night for William Hanley. the Progressive nominee for the United States Senate. ' MR. BOOTH ASSURED OF SEAT IN SENATE Canvass of Senator Chamber lain Shows He Has Lost His Power Over Voters. TIDETURNS TO REPUBLICAN Lukewarmness Prevalent Among Pronounced Democrats, While Those Open to Conviction Real ize Injury to Commerce. Booth sentiment has been developing so rapidly during the past two weeks that the Indications point to a large and substantial lead for the Republi can candidate for United States Sena tor. This sentiment does not appear conrined to any one section, but is gen eral throughout the state, and its pres ence Is disconcerting the managers of the Chamberlain campaign. Development of the Booth spirit came with the arrival of Senator Chamber lain to conduct his campaign person ally. Those familiar with the Cham berlain system of campaign expected that his presence would arouse enthu siasm and bring into his fold the doubt ful and the lukewarm and that con siderable body of Democrats who view with coolness the candidacy of Cham berlain. , No such anticipated enthusiasm ma terialized. Chamberlain held his meet ings and was listened to by crowds, but the audience did not leave as ardent workers. The Chamberlain personality apparently had lost Its magnetism. Whatever the true cause, there was no Chamberlain wave of excitement. Debate Democrats Undolaar. Followed then the request of Mr. Booth that Governor West meet him face to face and support his accusa tions with facts. The manner In which Mr. Booth presented his evidence, dis proving the statements of Governor West, together with the refusal of the West partisans to grant fair play to Mr. Booth, won for the Republican can didate the regard of thousands who had been sitting on the renoe or who had intended voting for Senator Cham berlain. After the Booth-West meeting there were specific Instances of numbers of men and women, both tn Portland and other cities of the state, who expressed their change from .Chamberlain to Booth. Men and women gave this In formation direct to the Republican State Committee and to the Booth head quarters. -The assurances of new sup port came by telephone. In person and through the mails. The Booth senti ment was growing;. Possibly the greatest single factor which has aroused the sentiment in favor of Mr. Booth is the business sit uation. It is only within a fortnight that the average citizen has really taken the political campaign with seri ousness. This called for a calm survey of conditions. It was discovered that the empty dinner bucket is no Joke. Voters who paused to think recalled that dozens of their friends and ac quaintances are out of work, or have experienced a reduction In salaries. In stallments on homes have had to be left unpaid. Interest . on mortgages have not been met promptly. The presence of men seeking assist ance on the streets and heads of fam ilies wondering where they will find money to feed the hungry mouths at home are facts which have been driven home to the voters, who are giving study to conditions. The more the voters have discussed the times, the firmer has been the belief that this Is the time to vote the Republican ticket straight and place Mr. Booth in the Senate. Wage earners realize keenly the shortage of work. There is an army of people in Oregon who have been thrown out of employment because of industries crippled by the tariff. Port land Is full of union men who should be drawing good wages, but they have not had a Job in months and no sure prospect of finding one. These men want to help themselves and they have reasoned it out that the way to vote for themselves Is to vote for Mr. Booth. Heaping abuse on Mr. Booth by his opponents has acted as a boonerang. There are Democrats who understand this and have moderation They have pointed out to Chamberlain managers that Governor West, after opening, the doors of the penitentiary to criminals of the worst stamp confined there, is hurting Chamberlain's cause when he turns loose convicts and charges Re publican candidates with being unde sirables. The American spirit of fair play is a contributing factor to the growth of the sentiment for Mr. Booth. Women Play Active Part. Women, who have had no share In politics heretofore, are largely support- ng Mr. Booth, word has gone forth from the women who know him best, his neighbors at Eugene, that he Is a clean and honorable man who has al ways worked with them in betterment measures. This recommendation has had a wide influence on the Republican women voters it Oregon and Mr. Booth evidently will receive more votes of women than at.y other candidate in the coming election. The women are tak ing an active interest in Mr. Booth's candidacy and by letter and word of mouth are Increasing the sentiment in bis favor . It is known positively also that scores of men who have been active in Senator Chamberlain's former cam paigns are not with him this time. This is noticeably true In the Democratic party. The wheel-horses of the party who have seen Senator Chamberlain wreck Democracy in Oregon by his nonpartisan policy of building up a personal machine are not enthusing RESINOL CURED AWFUL ITCHING IN ONE NIGHT New York. "The skin on my hand got red and rough. It itched and I be gan to scratch it. It itched so that sometimes I could not sleep all night. I was suffering very much.

LAST MEASURE ON BALLOT Insures Four Years of Busi ness Activity to Oregon. Vote 356, Yes. Honest men and women are honest in politics. Party is as good and can be no better than, the people. Laws enacted by less than a majority give no promise of permanence. Down with the man who trifles with lawmaking and seeks to keep up factional strife. Political party Is as essential to gov ernment as the church is to the pro motion of religion. Statesmanship and decent politics must become synony mous If the Oregon system is to sur vive. A party worth organizing until it numbers one-fourth of the people Is wortn protecting In Its organization until such time as It may command the respect and allegiance of a ma jority of the people. Beware of the man who shouts for the primary but refuses to have that primary' apply to his own party, or evades an honest use of it by his party. That newspaper which has used ten times as much printer's ink in mixing in the affairs of an opposing party as it has used in trying to build up its own party, is prevaricating as to its motives in opposing an amend ment of the primary, making the work ing features of the primary consistent with the promises of its original title. Don't be hypocritical in pretending more devotion to an opposing party than your own. Make ,the primary alike to all parties. Honest assessment of property at real value, equal and uniform rates to all men and all property, should not be "obsolete" until the Golden Rule and the -multiplication table are no longer used. Examine our assessment rolls and rind where property is boldlv a sessed at only one-third of Its known and admitted value, then try a fair assessment before condemning the laws of a century of successful use. Experts tell us they can Invent a system of varied schedules and rates or . tax, which will fit the varied de mands of business. Assessment multl plied by rate determines our tax. When those experts complete their schedules ana varied rates of taxation, all thev need do is to apply their varied rates to their schedules and they will have an assessment so perfect that a uni form rate will yield exactly the same tax as will be secured by the use of a prerervential rate. Any schedule which will correct the rate will correct the assessment. Vote against every plan of unequal taxation. 364, Yes. and S56. Yes. George E. Frost, chairman executive committee Citizens Legislative League, T. J. Fording, secretary. fPald Adv.) over his candidacy. Of course, one rea. son is revenge, for when Senator Cham berlain was in position to take care of his faithful followers he surrendered the patronage to Harry Lane. Even some of the county organlza tlons are permeated with enemies of Senator Chamberlain, who refuse - to taKe orr their coats to assist him in this, the fight of his office-seeking career. These Democrats are not nec essarily Booth supporters, but they are passive regarding benator Chamber lain. They will be "regular" and noth ing more. A canvass among voters who say they are Chamberlain' supporters re veals the fact that they are not new converts but have been with him be fore. It is seldom that a new sup porter is discovered. Contrariwise, It is an easy matter to find voters who say they are for Mr. Booth, who, in the past, were. Chamberlain men. Among the worklngmen especially is the Booth sentiment increasing. This is attributed to hard times, and the remembrance that under Republi can rule there always has been plenty of work and they want to see good times return. These men do not care what party Is In power nor what men fill the offices if conditions are such that there is work in plenty. That Work is scarce they know, and being scarce under a Democratic Administra tion, they look for betterment by a change, and therefore favor voting the Republican ticket straight. Such is a summary of the growth of the Booth sentiment. It is not limited to Portland nor to the country. It is moving along, growing larger each day. The conviction that this is a Re publican year and a time to stick close to the party line is general. Since the coming of Senator Chamberlain the phrase, "Booth will win," is heard more often daily.

Have you forgotten, my inexperienced daughters, -who are listening to HIRED AND IM PORTED AGITATORS, to consult your Bibles ? Do you recall the fate of One, -who, upon entering the enemy's cruntry "to seek and to save that which was lost," was ostracised, derided and finally crucified by SELF-STYLED "BEST PEOPLE," who still "love to pray, STAIvDING IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND ON THE STREET CORNERS, TO BE SEEN OP MEN"? Are you obeying the divine command of him -who said, "Woe unto you Scribes, Pbaris-ees, HYPOCRITES".? "Do you forget that he urged his followers to '-RESIST NOT EVIL," but to "OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD"! Can't you remember that He warned the people to AVOID DRUNKENNESS, and, while graphically depicting the woes of the drunkard, HE AT NO TIME ADVOCATED THE MAKING, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LAW, EXCEPT THE LAW OF SELF-GOVERNMENT, as applied to the abuse of intoxicants in individual eases ? When he said, "Woe unto him that putteth the bottle to his neighbor's lips," can't you see that . it was not the "TRAFFIC," but the MEN WHO MISUSED IT, that were accursed? When he admonished the people against "tarrying long at the wine," using such vigorous language against intemperance as no man can equal, can't you see that his warning was NOT AGAINST THE USE OF THE WINE, BUT AGAINST THE ABUSE OF IT? As my space is limited and advertising rates come high, I must confine this letter to such quo tations of Scripture as can be paid for; so I must be brief, and I must cite 'you to Matt. 11-19, as follows: "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they sav, BEHOLD A MAN GLUTTONOUS AND A WINE BIBBER, a friend of publicans and sinners. But j?lsdom is justified of her children." Again, to quote the sayings of Paul: "For why is my LD3ERTY judged of another man's CON SCIENCE?" (Cor. 10-29.) "But the fruit of the spirit is love, jov, peace, long Mifferins:, gentleness, goodness, faith and meekness. Temperance; AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW." (Gal., parts of verses 19-21, 22 and 23.) Now, my enfranchised daughters of the modem-day churches, for whose PERSONAL LIBERTY .-. and that of other people I HAVE GTVEN MY LIFE, if there is enough of the spirit of ingratitude in your hearts to wean you from the above teachings of the Christ and his followers and to cause you to approve the FALSEHOOD, VULGARITY, HATE and INTOLERANCE which is displayed by the Anti-Saloon League in an open letter in the Evening Telegram of October 3, you will cast your votes with the spirit of Anti-Christ as displayed by the authority of the SELF-ORGANIZED CONSPIRACY that gave.it birth.
