3 NOMINEE OF DRYS FOR PREPAREDNESS Mr. Hanly Says Abolition' of Liquor Traffic Is Essen tial to Efficiency. AMERICAN POLICY URGED Great Navy Indorsed, Without Large Standing Army Platform De mand Xor Initiative and Ref erendum Repudiated. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8- J- Franlc Hanly. nominee of the Prohibitionists for President, was notified formally here today of his nomination. In the course of his speech of acceptance he aid: "Called to the administration of the Government of the great common wealth in which I live, I found it im possible to reconcile my public and official duty with silence and 'inaction concerning an agency that levied an unpayable toll upon the social, civic, economic and moral life of the people, such as I found the traffic in intoxi cating liquors daily levying. "Desiring a remedy, I turned In stinctively to the party with which I was affiliated. I spoke to it, exposed the wrongs as best I could and pleaded for action. The hearts and the minds of the rank and file of the party were willing to make an affirmative re sponse, but the party's leadership re belled. It did not, would not act. save only in guarded, timorous phrase and with halting, uncertain step. It simply would not stand and fight. It had no vision, no conviction. Its councils were corrupted and its action made fu tile by covert understandings and se cret commitments. - "Then I left it and came to you, knowing that your councils as to this great issue would neither be corrupt nor divided, your purpose turned aside nor your action delayed should you be given power. Initiative and Referendum Rejected. "There is in the platform one plank which I can neither approve nor accept; which I cannot defend in the campaign; which, if elected. I would oppose, and which, if brought to me as a proposed law, I would veto. I refer to the fol lowing: " "We favor the Initiative, referendum and recall.' "Wherever they have obtained they have wrought confusion and harm. Where the initiative and referendum have been applied to the amendment of constitutions they have made these polemn and organic charters liquid as water and volatile as oil. They will do the same to the Federal Constitu tion. All three are revolutionary, but not progressive. They are the weapons of the bad oftener than they are the defense of the good. "In my Judgment nothing could be fraught with greater, peril to state and National prohibition of the traffic in Intoxicating liquors than the applica tion of these three principles to the state and National Government. Scientific Tariff Advocated. "No Inconsiderable portion of the In come of tho National Government is now derived and must continue to be derived from import duties. "In the levying of this revenue and In the making of schedules, knowledge special, expert and accurate based upon scientific investigation and ascer tainment, and not on partisan advan tage or the enhancement of the inter ests of great and powerful corpora tions and combinations should be the basis of all tariff action. "With this knowledge in mind duties should be so laid and adjusted as to secure to American labor and American manufacturers such degree of protec tion as to equalize the difference in wages between the labor entering into any American commodity and the labor entering into any foreign commodity with which such American commodity is compelled to compete. 'Somewhere between the extortionate duties demanded by the ultra-protectionists and those advocated by the revenue-only advocates lies a safe and sane middle ground, just to both pro ducer and consumer. Woman Saftrase Simple Justice. "For 40 years you have favored wom an suffrage. Your attitude in regard to it has been neither born of fear nor forced upon, you by party expediency. To you woman's enfranchisement has been and is a measure of simple Jus tice a thing- she has a right to claim. On this I stand four-square with you, and if power is given us we will not be satisfied to "recommend the exten sion of the franchise to her by states' or to 'recognize the right of each state to settle the question for itself,' but will by constitutional amendment for bid any Btate to deny or abridge her right to vote because of her sex. "I share your faith in the Monroe . doctrine. Indeed, there are today no yarty differences concerning it. Our Ifaith in it is shared by all. It has Ibecome an American doctrine in the fullest, truest sence of the term. Men md parties now differ only In its ap plication and In their willingness to accept the responsibilities, burdens and consequences of its maintenance. . Our platform puts it well: " 'We cannot claim the benefits of the doctrine and refuse to assume or discharge the responsibilities and the idutles which inhere therein and flow 'therefrom.' ) "The establishment and maintenance of the Monroe doctrine commits us ir revocably to the establishment and realization of orderly, stable govern ment in every nation within the pur view and protection of that doctrine. Dnty Shirked When Difficult. "To meet this duty in the case of Haiti and San Domingo has been easy and we have met it. To meet it in the case of Mexico has been difficult and we have shirked it. pursuing a policy of indecision and of meddlesome laissez faire. , "If we owe this duty to the citizens of foreign governments living or so journing in Mexico, we owe even a more imperative duty to protect the lives and property of our own citizens who live or sojourn there. And I agree with you that these must be pro tected and that In the event of a breakdown of government across the border it is the duty of this Govern ment, in the interest of civilization, to do whatsover shall be necessary to es tablish law and order In that dis tracted land. . "We are opposed to- the violation "of the sovereignty of the Mexican people ana would countenance no war or ag gression against them, but responsible, stable government must be established there, though armed intervention be required to establish it: intervention not for territory, not for conquest or ror ourselves alone, but for and on be half of the nationals of other coun tries, of the Mexican people themselves and of Christian civilization. "The spectable of an American Army engaged in a man hunt on the soil of a foreign nation is not ennobling. No American- soldier should have been. landed in Vera Cruz or permitted to cross the Mexican border, except with the clear purpose, frankly confessed, of establishing law and order and a responsible government there. , Duty to Philippines Plain. "Through the acquisition of the Phil ippine Islands - the American people assumed a grave and solemn duty, not only to themselves, but to the inhabi tants of the islands and to all nations who had or have itnerests there.- To this hour it has met that duty in a manner wholly creditable to the genius of. our people and it cannot now be abandoned without dishonor. "Ultimate Independence Is the -Just expectation of the Filipino people, but independence now would "be destruc tive of their progress and fatal to their well-being. "I stand for the maintenance of American rights in every land and on every sea. "I am in favor of a National defense and of a preparedness sufficient to preserve our territory from invasion, to enforce our international obliga tions and to defend our ideals and pur poses on the high seas, if necessary, but this can be done by the Navy that is now being provided for and by the construction of coast defenses that shall be impregnable to naval assault and without a great standing Army. Beyond that danger lies and our pur pose ought to be set as-.. In adamant against it. Prohibition Part of Preparedness. ' "In connection with any adequate programme of preparedness there must come consideration of another matter, the major tenet of our faith the aboli tion of the beverage liquor traffic. Without it there can be no adequate preparedness. In case of war we would find what Europe has found, that greater than enemy armies is this foe of human kind. It knows no flag, no patriotism. It is the foe of all. "We should not wait for war to strike and destroy it. We ought to do it in time of peace, do it now, when the strain of war is not upon us. "Of all political parties, we alone are pledged to destroy it, and if power Is given us we will keep the pledge." CLOTHIERS GET NEW SITE Buffum & Pendleton to Occupy Old Home of lotus Cafe.

The Biggest Furniture Sale of the Year Powers August Furniture Clearance Reduced in Price BMWfl Sold on Credit . nnnni Voters' Action Taken Wltli View to Getting Party's Regular Support for Nominee ' for Vacancy Left by Mr. McBride. E. E. Coovert was nominated for Joint State Senator from Multnomah. Clackamas and Columbia counties at a meeting of voters held last night at the Central Library under the aus pices of tha Republican Study Club. A committee was appointed to notify Mr. Coovert. The vacancy occurred when George-M. McBride resigned to make the race for County Judge as an inde pendent against George Tazwell. The election laws do not provide for the nomination of a party candidate by the County Central committees.- Mr. Coovert has been known as a staunch Republican during the past SO years, ani is not fully persuaded to allow his name to be entered except as a Republican candidate. While there Is no provision for the nomination of a Republican candidate in an emergency of this kind, the law allows an inde pendent nomination and it is expected that Mr. Coovert may be willing to run as an "emergency independent." The following resolution was adopt ed at the meeting to overcome the lack of regular Republican nominating machinery: , "Whereas. It is desired that a repre sentative Republican be elected; and whereas, there is a grave question as to the legal authority of the proper Republican Central Committee repre senting such district to make the nom ination; therefore be it resolved: "That this assembly proceed to nom inate a candidate for Bald office as provided by law, as an assembly of electors, the political principle of said nominee to be designated as 'emergency- Independent.' That a committee of three from each county in said Senatorial district be appointed by the chairman, in addition to each member of the assembly, to urge upon the Re publican Central Committee represent ing the counties of said district to nominate as the Republican candidate for said office the nominee of this as sembly." While the meeting, consisting of more than 100 qualified voters, is legally sufficient for nomination as an independent candidate, the object of Mr. Coovert's backers is to secure the usual sanction given a regular Repub lican candidate.- A committee consisting of Perry Baker. Dr. C. W. Cornelius, George Stokes. F. W. Beach and J. W. Stamper was appointed to notify Mr. Coovert of his nomination and secure his consent to run. Phil Metschan. Jr.; presided at the meeting, H. D. Poore acted as secretary. MEAT DEALERS PROTEST MAYO It REFUSES TO RESCIND IN SPECTIO.V ORDER. TREE PLANTING SUCCESS Results of Reforestation in Tilla mook County Gratifying. EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 8. (Special.) Of trees planted on several hundred acres of land in the Mount Hebe region. Tillamook County, under the direction of the forest office in Eugene, more than 99 per cent are living, accord ing to reports of recent inspection made by agents of the Forest Service. About 700 trees- to the acre were planted. The cost .of .planting. Includ ing the cost of growing the trees at the nursery,-amounted to $1.50 an acre. Commission Bonsee Complain That New Plan Causes Loss at Time and Money. Taking the position that enforcement of the new order of the meat inspec tion division of the city health bureau, that all West Side meat must be taken to a central inspection station for in spection, causes a loss of time and money to the Front-street commission houses, a protest was made against the order yesterday by a delegation headed by John F. Logan as attorney. The protest was made at a meeting' in the offlco of Mayor Albee. The purpose of the order. Mayor Albee explained, was to determine whether or not the plan would work out. Some such plan, he said, is neces sary because of the inability of the present force of meat inspectors to cover the entire West Side. He said the now order was in the .orm of an experiment which not yet has had ample time for demonstration as to its practicability. He ruled that the order shall stand for the present, and if it is a failure he will ask the Council for an additional inspector to enable the inspection without the cen tral booth. Mr. Logan declared that the expert ment should not be made during - the Summer season because it causes delay in the delivery of meat and thereby causes much deterioration. He said the order should be deferred until next month. Mayor Albee could not see it that way. Mr. Logan also put up a fight for the establishment of a system whereby the commission houses might Inspect and stamp their own meat, the same as is done by the slaughter-houses. This would involve the placing of a "house mark" on the primal parts of each carcass. Inspectors finding the meat In the market would have a per feet check on-it. - 2 MORE ENLIST FOR CAMP Many - Portland Business Men to Take Military Training. E. H.

The State Board of Control today decided to have convicts at the penitentiary pull the entire 622 acres of flax this year, regardless of the amount of weeds which may infest the fields. The growers will be paid in the ratio that the flax and weeds exist. Robert Crawford, state flax expert, will judge the proportion of flax in each field and the farmers will receive money on this basis. Under the arrangement, the State Board foresees that loss will be en countered, as the foul flax fields, Mr. Crawford says, will require twice as long to pull as the fields free of weeds. Mr. Crawford advised the board that about 90 acres out of the entire acre age planted to flax was hardly worth pulling. PETITIONS GO TO COUNCIL Movie Men to Present Plea- for New Censorship Today. .
