In response to 3 call signed by about U SOQ Republicans of Portland, a mass meeting is to be held in the assembly ii hall of the Central Bibrary at S o'clock tonight to take preliminary steps, at '2 last. toward the organization of a new Republican club.

The Democrats are already tolling -; like busy little bees through their i Jackson Club, their Kentucky Klick and their Woodrow Wilson League, lin .

In fact, women are especially Invited to auend and Join the organization. The meeting will probably begin with the selection of temporary officers. Whether permanent organization wlli be effected at this meeting or a later " one. will depend on the will of the meeting. There are several candidates . for president of the new club. Among those who are to speak at the meeting are C. B. Moores. Republican state chairman, and George Arthur Brown, former state chairman of the - Progressive party in Oregon, who Is X expected to discuss the terms on which '- Progressives of the state will Join forces with the Republicans. The call for the meeting as signed by approximately 500 Republicans ts as follows: "We, the undersigned, believing In the principles of the Republican party as exemplified in its past history, and i.' realizing the importance of again re- - storing it to power in the Nation, urge 7 all Republicans, without reference to past personal differences or affilia--. tions. to make common cause and unite " with us In the organization in the City of Portland of a great Republican club for this state, whose sole aim shall be trt lend assistance and make effective every legitimate effort for the restora-- tlon to power of the Republican party. And to that end, and for that purpose, we do hereby Issue & call to all such Republicans to meet at the Central Li brary in the City of Portland. Or., on the 20th day of January, at 8 o'clock P. M., then and there to organize a " Republican club." T. C. Lewis is the first candidate for the Legislature from Multnomah Coun ty to line up at the starting post.

MIDDLE WEST INTERESTED Portland Chamber Hears Address by Visitor Who Cites - Evils ot La I'ollette Act and Says Nation Now Tnderstands. "The people of the Middle West have been awakened to the fact that the teamen's bill now in effect in the United States was not a local matter but something vitally affecting the welfare of the whole Nation, and they are realizing that its destructive ef fects are falling not only upon the manufacturers of the seaboard cities but also upon every farmer and agri culturist inland, said William J. Wag staff, of Oshkosh. Wis. , Mr. Wagstaff was in Portland Tues day and yesterday and spoke before the bureau of trade and commerce of the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday night. He has been making a trip in the Northwest, on his own initiative, studying conditions and urging the movement for the revision or repeal of the La Follette seamen's bill. He left last night for Oshkosh, where he is extensively interested in the lumber industry. Middle West Ripe. "I believe that the men of the Middle West are ripe for organization to bring all possible pressure to bear to effect National legislation to remedy the de structive elements contained in the present bill," he said. "Formerly the man of the Middle West, regarding the sea and the mer chant marine as something too far re moved from him to affect his business appreciably, was apathetic on the sub ject of this bill or ignorant of its pro visions. "Since the bill has been effective the Middle West has been getting its les son and its awakening, in the form of tremendously increased freight rates, and our people are realizing further more that the American registry is slipping away entirely to other coun tries. "This is a National affair and not a local affair, and we are realizing it. What is needed is for the subject to be brought home closer and closer to the people of the Middle West, through publicity, and when the occasion de mands the Middle West will be found wideawake and actively supporting sane steps toward National legislation to correct the abuses of this bill." Commission Is Advocated. Mr. Wagstaff is in favor of the crea tion of a commission of practical men to provide a revision of the present seamen's bill and to correct the abuses that it has brought about in its pres ent form. ' Mr. Wagstaff a idea is the same that has been advanced by the Portland Chamber of Commerce, by the Boston and by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. A bill is now pending in Congress, introduced by Senator Cham berlain, for an act to provide a com mission for a complete revision f the existing laws of shipping and navi gation and the preparation of a code that will permit American shipping to compete on just terms with the ship ping of the rest of the carriers of the world. Mr. Wagstaff is carrying on his propaganda at his own expense and on his own initiative. ICE HOLDS JESSIE HARKINS Attempt to Resume Vancouver Ferry Service Is Failure. VANCOUVER, Wasn.. Jan. 19.
