TTTV. MORrVO OREGOXIA!!, TUESDAY. MAY 2, 1916. BURTON SEES RISING REPUBLICAN TIDE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS DEFECTIVE "HEARS" WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS SINGER THROUGH FINGER TIPS. Ex-Senator, After Tour of 41 States, Says Sentiment Is Growing Rapidly. PREPAREDNESS IS POPULAR Tarty Situation on Pacific Coast lleclared Splendid Except in Spots Topeka, Kan., Most Apathetic on Defense. CHICAGO. April 30. (Special.) Ex Senator Burton, of Cleveland. Ohio's "favorite son." candidate for Presi dent, reached Chicago last night on the last lap of his campaign speaking tour of the United States. Mr. Burton, who has covered 41 states and thinks the Republicans are coming back this Fall, encountered the Klihu Root boom as soon as be reached the Auditorium HoteL. Reports from New Tork that the Root people, under the direction of Senator Wadsworth. were about to at tempt a recrudescence of the New Yorker's boom and with the approval of Mr. Root, were not received as a surprise by Mr. Burton. Root Movement No Surprise. T have heard something about it.1 said Mr. Burton, "but I have no definite information. I would not be surprised, however, if an earnest movement had been undertaken in behalf of Mr. Root." The Eastern advices are that Root headquarters will be opened in Chi cago within a fortnight, and that the Middle West will be sounded for the New Yorker as it is now being sounded for Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Root, who has rooms engaged at the Congress Hotel as a member of the New York delegation, has not as yet asked for headquarters. Senator Burton, reviewing the trip that has taken him into 41 states, said: "I firmly believe that Republican sentiment is growing rapidly. I have just come from the Pacific Coast, and out there we seem to be in splendid shape, with the exception of a few local spots. West Alive Except In Spots. "I have found the Far West people also alive to the question of prepared ness, except in spots. Topeka, Kan. for instance, seems to be the most apathetic on preparedness. I found little response in that city to the pre paredness suggestions. But in the border states, particularly New Mexico and Nevada. I think the Republican party, with its preparedness pro gramme, will sweep things. All along the Coast, too. it seems clear that the Republican party is to come into its own." Mr. Burton left for Cleveland for a short rest before coming back West the middle of May. OFFICE ROBBED THRICE POSTAL RECEIPTS ARE TAKEX FOR THIRD TIME AT ISLAND CITY. ThieveR Get S Cnmb 2."M Stamps, Two Stransrem Are Detained, Though Evidence I Lacking. LA GRANDE. Or., May 1. (Spe cial.) Island City's postoffice is being robbed with distressing regularity. For the thii d time within tv o years the office was robbed last night. Last niht $S0 in cash and $250 in stamps were taken. The robbery the first of last August netted ?8i cash. but nothinp else was taken, while in a burglary before that there was about $90 taken. The indications show that the work last night was done in about the same way as the one which happened last Summer. The postoffice is located in a store building which was broken into in the same manner and the cafe was blown open in practically the same way. Two men who are strangers in the country and who were camped along the river last night have been detained under suspicion, but nothing thus far has developed to show that they had anything to do with the crime. $95,000 PAID FOR TRACT Illinois Investors Purchase Acres Xear Lake Chelan. 625 WENATCHEE, Wash., May 1.

Hope of an agreement in conference on the Army reorganization bill seemed brighter to night after an all-day session of the conference committee. In which a basis for negotiation of differences between the Senate and House on the regular Armv was reached. Senate conferees agreed to yield on j the proposed standing army of 250,000 1 men and to accept a peace strength of 180,000 men, provided the House would accept the expansion system of organization in the Senate bill. Under this system the regular Army could be increased in time of con flict to 220,000 or more. House con ferees tentatively agreed to this proposition on which to base agree ments as to detail, organization of units and other features of the meas ure. The Chamberlain bill, before It was amended jn the Senate, placed the maximum strength of the regular Army at about 170.000 men. whereas the House bill left It at 140.000. Although the conferees are exerting every possible effort to reach a com plete agreement, some of them fear that all disputed points cannot be worked out without referring some points back to the Senate and House for further instructions. Senate con ferees still are holding out for the Federal volunteer army, as well as their proposed system of Federalization of the National Guard, but House lead ers insist that eventually they will win their fight to eliminate the volunteer army and retain the House National Guard provisions. The matter of a Government nitrattf plant has not been reached by the' con ferees, but its opponents regard it as certain that it will be stricken from the bill.

Hartley, the Everett busi ness man who announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Washington at the Sno homish County convention held here on Saturday, said in his announcement, in part: "While serving in your Legislature. I saw such splendid opportunities for an executive possessing the courage of his convictions and not afraid, that I found myself longing to be Governor of Washington for just one term of four years. I fully expect to be nominated and elected, and if I am. upon my sacred honor as a man. I promise to devote my time, my energy and the best that is in me to the interests of all the people of this commonwealth, without regard to expediency, popularity or further honors in public life. Planning for fu ture honors and elections has been re sponsible for more failures and cow ardly action In public office than any one other thing. "A Governor does not make the laws. It is his duty to enforce them, and if he is not scheming for further honors for himself he Is apt to be afraid to veto a bad measure, or to enforce a good one, even if by so doing he gains the ill-will of the professional agitator and political blatherskite. T believe the prohibition law and every other law should be enforoed to the letter and should be changed only by the people.
