15 TliE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1915. BOTH PARTIES FIND SIGNS OF VICTORY Renublicans Certain Wilson Has Blundered but Demo crats Cannot See It. SOME OPINIONS QUOTED C. B. Moorcs Says Any Good Repub lican Could AVin it Kace "Were Tomorrow Bert K. Hancy Defends the TrcMdent. At the -n-1 of the fir.-t half of Presi dent Wilson's Administration Oregon Republicans are turning eirfaees hopefully to the campaign of 191. ior they are convinced that the errors of the President are so numerous and ao glaring that they point to the inevita ble election .f a Republican to succeed Democratic leaders, on the other hand, look back over the last two years with satisfaction and seem not in the least disturbed over tho Republican designs on the Presidency two years hence. They declare that the Presidents Ad ministration has been eucceelul and that were another election held tomor row he would be Indorsed overwhelm ingly by the people. 7. . , Republicans enumerate the lender wood tariff law. his Mexican policy, his extreme partisanship, displayed in nearly all his appointments, his dicta torial attitude toward Congress and his support of a ship purchase policy as the principal blunders in the Wilson Administration. The Democrats name the Mexican sit uation, his peace policy, the currency law the tariff law and his control over Congress as the principal potnta to com mend President Wilson to the people. Com mrnta eAjre Quoted. Following are some of the comments of leading Republicans and Democrats in Portland : C B Moore. Republican state chair manif President Wilson were running for office tomorrow, we could beat him with almost any good Republican. The Underwood tariff has disturbed business so that the Democratic Administration is very unpopular. President Wilson has displav.l extreme partisanship In nearly all his appointments, something that he said he would not do. His ap pointments on the Trades Commission are the most recent example of this at titude. While the commission Is sup posed to be a non-partisan body, the Republican party has no representation at all. His disposition to dictate to Con rresa has not popularized the President with the people. His Mexican policy Is another point of error. So far as his . ennrerned. I agree with ex-President Taft that we ought to support the President. His currency law is all right, but it was built on Republican framework. The results at the November election show the trend of the people awar from the Democratic Administration. Recent events have done nothing to strengthen the Admin istration. Defense la Made. t.. r. Hnncv Democratic state chairman President Wilson's Adminls- . k-a Keen verv satisfactory. It baa been a constructive one. The cur rency law alone ought to entitle him to re-election. He also baa redeemed his platform promise to revise the tariff downward. The bill providing for a traded commission is a big piece of constructive effort. It ought to remedy a condition in our Industrial affairs that it has been impossible heretofore to reach. His Mexican policy is another point upon which he merita a vote of confidence from the people. I believe that if another election were held at this time President Wilson would be re elected by a greater plurality than he received in 1912." Senator Gus C. Moser. Republican I believe President Wilson is an honest, sincere man. ' But his theories and his principles are entirely at variance with sound policy. His striving to put those theories into effect has caused him to lose popularity, with the people. Two years of experience have demonstrated that Democratic theories and Demo cratic principles are wrong. Even his own party cannot agree on the best way of carrying them out. and in the light of recent events President Wilson certainly could not be re-elected. Two years more of the same conscientious effort that he has displayed in the last two years are all that are required to Insure his defeat. While I want to credit htm all the time with honesty and sincerity of purpose, but those very qualities applied to his erroneous theo ries are fast eliminating bis chances for re-election. PMtBUtrr Points to Arts. PYank S. Myers, postmaster. Democrat The first two years of Wilson's Ad ministration has shown the country that the Democratic party is the party of tho people. The Democratic party has redeemed, as far as the Republicans would permit it. all the planks in its platform. It has passed the Underwood tariff bill, revising the tariff down ward; the income tax bill, and the cur rency bill, making the country prac tically panic-proof. In addition. It cre ated the Federal Trade Commission. Such work justifies the confidence which the people have in Wilson and I believe that he will be renominated and re-elected. S. B. Huston. Republican Representa tive in Legislature While I have a high personal regard for President VU aon, I am convinced that he could not be re-elected were the election to be held tomorrow. His insistence that Congress repeal the free tolls provision in the Panama Canal act was a most unprecedented violation of a party platform pledge. Never before has auch action been taken. The Demo cratic tariff has brought disaster upon the country. His Mexican policy has involved us in trouble from start to finish. I think he has lost popularity through many of his appointments. Milton A. Miller. Democrat It is my - candid opinion that Woodrow Wilson has shown himself to be the greatest President the country has had since Abraham Lincoln. There has been more constructive Legislation during the two years since he became Presi dent than had taken place in the United states from the Civil War dowa to his time. MAYOR INDORSES BENEFIT Concert for Salvation Army Should Be Well Attended, ATbe Say. Mayor Albee has lent hia good offices to calling attention to the benefit con cert at Lincoln High School auditorium Tuesday evening, and in a statement to the public the Mayor calls attention to the fact that the concert is to render material aid to the Salvation Army, and cites the more esthetic fact that It will be in the hands of talented musicians of Portland. Incidentally, the Mayor puts his stamp of approval on the work of tho Salvation Army. His ststement to h" publto Is: "The announcement of the benefit he riven at the Lincoln High School auditorium on the evening of March 9 will be of interest to the many friends of the Salvation Army, in whose behalf the concert is given. For several years it has beeri the custom to give a benefit concert to assist in carrying on this splendid work, and each year has brought forth a goodly number of those who were glad to give of their talent for the cause. "That this year is to be no exception is indicated by the fact that the pro gramme of the evening is under the able direction of Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, who. with a number of talented assistants, will render a varied and de lightful musical programme. This will be an evening which win merit tne at tendance of a large number of Portland neoole. who can express In this way their appreciation of the efforts of these musicians to aid in this most worthy work. "I consider that the good accom plished by the Salvation Army among a certain class of our citizens is not to be measured, and their efforts should reeelvA the heartv aUDPOrt of all citi zens who desire the betterment or moral conditions in our city." ROAD BOND VOTE IS DUE PETITIONS MOXDAY TO AMv ISSUE FOR HAHD-SlRFACnG. Coat of Work Recommended In Hlgh- ay Report Is Estimated at About 1,250,000. The movement for an election to-vote county bonds for the hard-surfacing of about 65 miles of Multnomah County roads probably will be inaugurated officially Monday, when petitions ask ing that the election be called will be placed in circulation. County Surveyor Bonser's estimate of the cost of the proposed Improvements is expected to be readv today. Present indications are that it will be about ,1.250.000. The movement for hard-surfacing is the result of recommendations by Roadmaster J. B. Yeon in his annual report- The roads are the Columbia Tfichwav from the Sandy River to the county line. Sandy, Base Line. Powell Valley, Foster, Cajiyon, Linnton and Slavin roads. It will be necessary to secure dou signatures before the petitions can be presented to the County Commissioners for the calling of the election. One proposal has been made that the elec tion be held on April 6. at the time of the St. Johns primaries. Under the law 20 days must elapse after the Com missioners order the election before it can take place. The nroDOsal is that the bond issue be made 10 years at 5 per cent. At the end of the fourth year a sinking: fund would be created and into this fund one-sixth of the principal would be de posited each year. In his report -Mr. reon pomiea out that a bond issue of 11,000.000 would ean a charge of 3 against eacn $1000 of assessed valuation and 15 cents a year for interest, or. for every prop erty owner assessed at iiooo it wouia mean an annual payment of 45 cents on principal and interest. Slavin road has been included in oe estimate bv the activity of residents of Southern Multnomah County. Com mercial bodies in Portland as well as in outlyinjr districts already have manifested considerable Interest In the proposition. $75,000 COMPANY FORMED Wenatcheo 3Den Incorporate to Do Mercantile Business.

Widespread Snow Storm Is Regarded by Crop Experts aa Beneficial and la Cause of Slump. CHICAGO, March 5. Fears that export demand for wheat from the United States might suddenly come to a halt had a dis turbing effect today on prices, but at the finish the marset, although unsettled, was at the same level as. last night to 1 Ho off. Corn closed c down, and oats at a not decline of c to o. Provisions wound up with gains of 2y,c to 10c. About mid-day peace talk concerning Austria led to breaks in wheat that In some cases extended nearly 4c under yesterday's, close. Invariably, however, buying on the part of cash house, came Into play on de clines and resulted in a succession of ral lies. , Widespread heavy snowfalls were regarded by experts as highly beneficial in pro moting growth later on, and a. a protection at present. It was to the crop outlook that In a measure was due the July delivery touching for a brief while today the lowest price yet this season. Improved cash demand steadied corn even more than wheat. Nevertheless, there was much selling by speculative holders and by shorts whenever the wheat market turned downgrade. Oats took the same course as other graina Seaboard call remained strongly in evl- aence. Higher prices for hogs lifted provisions. The setbacks In grain were largely ignored.
