HUGHES SENTIMENT
SHOWN BY CROWDS
Portland Meeting and Wel

j Forecast Big Victory.
JUDGE M'NARY ON TRAIN
Ralph I Williams Also Accompanies
Nominee to California Lino and
'j Observes Enthusiasm . That
V Marks Every Stop.
Accompanying Charles Evans Hughes
as far as the Oregon-California state
yesterday were Ralph H. Williams,
Republican National Committeeman,
and Judge Charles L. McNary, chairman
of .he Kepublican State Central Com
mittee. They will return today.
Judge McNary introduced Mr. Hughes
at vai-.ous points in Southern Oregon,
where he opoke briefly as the train
stopped. From reports received here
yesterday, everywhere there was the
same enthusiasm for Mr. Hughes as
Hundreds of persons gathered at the
stations where his train was scheduled
to Ltop and clamored for a view of
Governor Hughes and a short speech.
He spoke from the rear platform of
his train for t-o or three minutes at
various stops, but there wasn't a formal
speech on the day's programme.
12,000 Estimate Conservative.
The audience before which Mr.
Hughes spoke here Wednesday night
was undoubtedly the largest that ever
attended a political meeting or in all
probability any other meeting in Port
land. And it was as enthusiastic as
It was big.
The Ice Palace, where the meeting
was held, had seats for 9477 persons.
But hundreds seated themselves on the
rail dividing the elevated rows of seats
from the arena; other hundreds sat
or stood where it was not intended
that anybody should be, in the space
behind the speaker's platform, and
more hundreds, even thousands, stood
In the aisles and every available place.
So the estimate of 12,000 persons
in the huge audience that heard Mr.
Hughes' address is conservative. The
management of the Ice Palace said
14,000 persons were in the building, but
xms prooaDiy is an over-estimate.
Thousands Turned Away.
But if there had been room. Mr.
Hushes could undoubtedly hve had an
audience in Portland of 25,000 persons.
Fully 6000 were in the overflow
meeting outside the Ice Palace, which
he addressed briefly before making his
main speech, and at least as many more
who were turned away when the doors
of the Ice Palace were closed at 6:60
o'clock one hour and 10 minutes, be
fore the scheduled time for the ad
dress went home before the overflow
meeting was held. Hundreds who
wanted to hear Mr. Hughes did not
come at all, fearing correctly that all
seats in the hippodrome would be taken
early.
It had been announced beforehand
that the doors Of the Ice Palace would
be opened at 6 o'clock, two hours
before the meeting. But at 3 o'clock
Colonel David M. Dunne, who Was in
charge of seating and ushering at the
meeting, found several old soldiers
waiting outside with their lunches so
as to be sure to get inside the building
early enough.
Interest Shows Trend.
He let them in at once, and many
others came before 6 o'clock. Indeed,
by that time the big building was be
ginning to be reasonably well filled.
"Portland never had such a political
meeting before," said Thomas B. Neu
hausen, vice-chairman of the Kepub
lican State Central Committee and of
the Hughes campaign committee. "It
was a wonderful success. The only
regrettable feature was that so many
persons who desired to hear Mr.
Hughes were unable to do so. If he
could have passed two days In Oregon
he would have spoken to 70.000 to
100.000 persons. The eagerness to hear
him shows indisputably the interest
the voters are taking in the campaign
and the trend toward Mr. Hughes."
Meeting Greatest In .10 Years.
"I was much impressed with the
demonstration for Governor Hughes,"
aid General Charles F. Beebe, "and
believe the Occasion must have fur
nished an inspiration for him, as well
is1 giving a distinct thrill to the many
thousands who heard him speak. The
meeting was a wonderful success from
every viewpoint."
"It was a great meeting," said Roger
Sinnott. "and I wouldn't have missed
being there for a great deal. The en
thusiasm of the people was remarkable.
It certainly looks like a Republican
year."
"I have lived in Oregon 39 years, and
in that time there has never been a
political gathering like that in the Ice
Palace to hear Governor Hughes," said
Walter I Tooze. Sr.. of Salem. "For
spirit and enthusiasm, as well as size,
it beat anything I have ever seen. The
moral is that the people of Oregon
want Hughes."
Hughes Majority Predicted.
'That was a Wonderful ovation they
gave Mr. Hughes at the meeting," said
David is. Lorgrcn. "I was very much
impressed with it. The success of the
meeting and the remarkable interest
taken in it are significant of an over
whelming Republican victory in Oregon
this ail. '
"The attendance at the Hughes meet
ing was 100 per cent not another per
son could have got into the Hippo
drome." said Frank B. Mitchell, of Ba
ker. "That and the big overflow meet
Jing he addressed indicated how the
people of Oregon feel about Mr. Hughes.
They will show their interest even more
substantially next November by rolling
up a nuge majority tor him."
HUGHES' ORATION GREAT

The nominee spent most of today
resting. He said he felt "bully" and
that his voice was improving.

BERLIN, Aug 17. Today's official
report says: ,
""The enemy's fire increased at times
to gVeat violence west of Wytschaete
and on the La Basse Canal and to the
south thereof.
"After strong British attacks from
the Ovillers-Pozieres line and west of
Foureaux wood had been repulsed In
the morning the French, after the
strongest artillery preparation, av
vanced to the assault between Guille
mont and the Somme, and at the same
time very considerable British forces
advanced between Pozieres and Four
eaux wood. The assault failed, as did
five nocturnal attacks attempted by
the French. . After stubborn fighting
portions of the enemy troops which
penetrated our positions' west of Four
eaux wood and south of Maurepas
were driven back again. The enemy's
losses were large.
"South of the Somme fighting took
place in the neighborhood of'Belloy.
The French obtained a foothold here
in our first line trenches over a width
of about 600 meters. East thereof
and near Estrees, the enemy has been
repulsed.
"On both sides of the Meuse (Verdun)
front the artillery was more active.
An attempted attack by the enemy on
Chapltre wood was suppressed by our
curtain of fire.
"At numerous points on the front
French patrols undertook .operations
which were unsuccessful." .
Germans on Eastern Front.
BERLIN, via London, Aug. 17. The
Russians are attacking fiercely in East
ern Galicia in an attempt to overcome
the resistance of the Austro-German
forces in the region of Zalocze. They
iave been repulsed completely, the
War Office announced Riday. The
statement follows: ,
"Fierce Russian attacks continued
into the night against Batkow and
Harbuzow, west of Zalocze. They were
repulsed completely. On the front of

PARIS, Aug. 17. Today's official
communication says:
"On the Somme front the enemy made

PETROGRAD, via London. Aug. 17.
The Russian advance is still being held
up in the face of counter-attacks.
These assaults, the War Office reported
today, have been repulsed.
"Artillery and rifle duels are pro
ceeding along the front." the state
ment says. "The enemy at some places
resumed his counter-attacks. These
were frustrated by our fire.

"Supplementary reports show that

home. Both Governor and Mrs. Hughes
were the recipients of immense bou
quets of beautiful Oregon roses.
The Governor paid his compliments
to tfle Underwood tariff and declared
the paralysis of American industry
prior to the European war was a re
sult of its operation. He characterized
war prosperity as ephemeral and ex
pressed the belief that lofty American
ism does not want to become fatly
prosperous on the misery and degrada
tion of European countries, but on the
upright and fearle3 development of
American resource and industry on a
peace basis.
American Industry must be protect
ed," said the Governor, "so that when
the European war Is "over American
labor shall not have to come In com
petition with the pauperized and bank
rupt labor of the Old World."
He characterized the spirit of a
dignified insistence on American rights
as against the whole world, free alike
from bravado or indecision, as domi
nant Americanism."
At the conclusion of his remarks the
nominee requested that he be allowed
to dismount from the platform and
shake the hands of as many of his
friends as possible and he seemed
deeply disappointed when the conductor
of his train informed him there would
be no opportunity to do so.
A glowing smile overspread his face
as those nearest the platform Insisted
on grasping his hand if only for a mo
ment and he was hailed as the next
President of the United States.
RAIN FORGOTTEX AT ROSEBURG
Throng So Interested in Hughes'
Talk That Umbrellas Are Unused.
ROSE BURG, Or., Aug. 17. (Special.)
Two thousand persons listened to Mr.
Hughes for 10 minutes this morning in
a heavy shower and. in their intense in
terest, forgot to hoist a single umbrella.
Mrs. Hughes received heaping armfuls
of flowers from the women, and she
expressed her thanks while she stood
beside her husband.
Hughes expressed the deepest appre
ciation of his entertainment . in Port
land. He commented on how all seemed
so eager and zealous in their interest
for the Republican party.
Then he took up- two great points of
his platform:
First, the necessity for a continuous
American policy, especially in regard to
industry as affected by the tariff. He
emphasized his dislike for & tariff
which became abusive, but said at the
end of the European war America will
need certain well-planned tariff legls
lation as never before, and the re
united Republican party Is the only
power with the will and desire to pro
vide sued Aighest legislation.
Then, again, he discussed efficiency.
He wanted men to be chosen entirely
for efficiency, and appropriations to be
made honestly.
He refused the request of several
Roseburg admirers, who met him on tne
train, to discuss any local Issue, say
ing that he would not be drawn into
any besides those concerning platform
principles.
"1 am representing the Republican
party now. not myself or any factionor
section," he said.
Mrs. Hughes won the, hearts of the
women by shaking hands with as many
as possible.

artillery activity all day. Last night
and early this morning the enemy de
livered a series of attacks on our
trenches northwest of Pozieres, on a
broad front, with considerable force.
Six times his infantry advanced to the
attack, but ran back after suffering
heavy losses. Our guns and machine
guns did great execution. In no case
did he succeed in entering our lines.

WITH THE RUSSIAN ARMIES ON
THE CENTRAL RUSSIAN FRONT, Aug.
15, via Petrograd to London, Aug. 17.
The continued success of General Brus-
siloffs two powerful movements, which
gradually are enveloping Kovel and
Lemberg, have Degun to have a marked
effect on the situation in the central
portion -of the front, which, except for
small Russian gains in the lake region
south of Dvinsk, has remained virtual
ly unaltered since the Russians feu
back last Autumn to the line from
Dvinsk to the Pinsk marshes.
The Austrian line now has receded
so far before the repeated thrusts or
the Southwestern Russian forces in
Southern Poland and Galicia that the
Germans are in danger of a flanking
movement "from the south and the auto
matic retirement of the forces opposed
to the Russian center is expected.
German Retirement Expected
Notwithstanding the desultory bursts
of activity at various points, Russian
officers say there are many indications
that the Germans are prepared to
abandon their present line on this part
of the front at any moment.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press made a week's tour along the
rront commanded by General Alexeie
vevt, from Lake Nareoa to the region
of Baranovichi and found the Russian
soldiers most desirous of an opportun
ity to advance as soon as the command
Is given. A corps commander, who
showed the correspondent a huge supply
of ammunition and material at the dis
posal of one part of the force engaged
in this section of the front, said:
'We have enough ammunition stored
away to take us to Berlin."
Soldiers Well Provided For.
The soldiers seem to bo plentifully
supplied with wholesome food and are
living under the best sanitary condi
tions. They are surrounded by com
forts and conveniences comparable to
those at a model American Summer
camp. The spirit and fighting strength
of the Russian soldier appears to be
high and the troops confidently expect
to occupy their original quarters m
Western Poland.
Compared with conditions prevailing
a year ago, tne percentage oi aiseuoo
on this section of the front is said to be
appreciably lower. Not only has uni
versal vaccination and personal clean
liness, which now are insisted on. re

dividual cases of a dlseaBO of any sort
are said to be rare.

sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States, says the question is
gradually taking on larger proportions

A Necessity in
Epidemic
In every hospital, everywhere, there is all
the time a sufficient number of contagious
disease cases to cause a nation-wide epidemic
if contagion ever got beyond hospital walls.
But it cannot.
The safest haven from disease is right in a
hospital where you would be surrounded by it.
Why? Because hospitals are made germ
proof through disinfection.
Nearly every hospital in the country relies
upon Lysol to kill disease germs. All doctors
recommend it for the same purpose.
Follow their lead, protect your family and
yourself by making' your home germ-proof.
Get a bottle of Lysol today, use it often in
garbage cans, cesspools, drains, sinks, toilets
and everywhere that flies or insects gather or
breed. Full directions accompany every bottle.
