Eastern Section of Multnomah
County Solid for Repub- ,
lican Candidates.

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

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.

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.

MOULTON IS THE ONLY

One of the most important issues to
come before the Congress in which
the member to be elected from this
district will serve is the liquor ques
tion. Many 'people favor National
prohibition who do not favor 6tate
prohibition. National prohibition is
the best remedy for the evil. Arthur

Congress, is the only, candidate in the
field who will' support National pro

who believes in National Prohibition
should vote for Moulton.

LED ASTRAY in the present Prohibition crisis BY THE CRAFTINESS
OF AMBITIOUS MEN.
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. But, by so doing, you will crucify the Savior of
sinners afresh "and put him to open shame."
After the INTEMPERATE CRAZE OF PROHIBITION now going through the newly-enf ran
ehised states like a holocaust of fire, shall have exhausted itself, the advocates of GENUINE .
TEMPERANCE REFORM, including the Mother Ser, can go before the incoming Legislative As
semblies of such states guided by the Spirit of Christ, "who came to break every yoke and let
