ton and Air Is Tense
. j With Expectancy.

BY GORDON STUART.
PEXDLETON, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) The stage for the epic drama of
the "West, the Pendleton Round-up, is
et. The actors, men, women and
beasts, are ready. Without question
the attendance at the seventh annual
ehow -will break all records. It is pre
dicted 70,000 persons will see the
Round-up this year.
Toaav thousands of people are headed
toward Pendleton and already -several
thousands have arrived. The spirit of
"Let "er Buck" pervades the air. No
one could be here and not feel the
mighty grip of it if he has half a pint
ct red blood in his arteries.
The gates will be thrown open at
noon tomorrow, and it is said at least
30,000 will see the first day's perform
ance. All trains entering the city are
crowded to the limit.
The streets of Pendleton are filled
with cowboys, real flesh and blood cow
boys, who live in the Saddle, and cow
girls and Indians, all gaily clad. The
prevailing headgear is a wide sombrero
and most of them bound with leather
into which is burned "The Round-up."
Wild West to Live Again.
Pendleton Is today, and will be for
several, days to come, a real wild, and
woolly Western town, taking one back
20 to 40 years. Every afternoon has
been declared a holiday, even the post
office will close, and everybody will
go" to the Round-up. It's contagious,
infectious and delightful. Tonight at 7
o'clock, when the drawing took place
for mounts and. position, more than 200
had formally entered.
The true cowboy roper, or rope
pinner, carries his lariat with him on
his arm in the daytime and sleeps with
it at night for fear some coward might
cut a few strands in it and cause him
to lose his chance for winning one
of the many big cash prizes. More than
$10,000 in real cash will be awarded
here for prizes.
Among the champions of the United
States who have come to compete for
honors, glory and coin this year are
Included George and Charles Wier,
champion ropers of the world, of Monu
ment, N. M. : John Spain, former cham
pion: Sammy Garrett, 1915 all-around
cowboy, winner of the Police Gazette
belt: Edward McCarty. champion roper
of 1913; Jackson Sundown, full-blood
Nez Perce Indian, who was the model
of Sculptor Procter: Hugh Clark, Sam
Brownell, Bull Jones. Lee Caldwell,
Floyd Irwin and Joella Irwin, cham
pion relay riders; Bertha Blancett and
Eloise Fox Hastings, champion slick
riders: Peggy Warren, Katie Wilkes,
Chester Byera, champion roper: Frank
Cable, champion bulldogger, and Sid
Seale, champion pony express rider, and
scores more. r
Queen Muriel Will Htlxn.
On Saturday morning the grand
Westward-ho! parade will be halted for
the crowning of Queen Muriel of the
Round-up. This ceremony, unlike any
other coronation, will be unique and
original. Miss Muriel Saling, riding the
grand prize saddle, in full cowgirl cos
tume, including buckskin skirt, broad
sombrero, boots and a gaily colored
shirt, will bring her cow pony to a
pause at Main and Alta streets. Colonel
J. H. Raley, garbed in cowboy outfit,
will dash up on his famous mount and
will lasso Miss Saling with' a crown
of flowers, shouting, "Muriel, I crown
thee Queen of Let' er Buck!"
Happy Canyon, an evening show, sup
plementing the Round-up and under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce,
opened tonight with a big attendance.
Happy Hollow is "the old town," wild
and woolly, where "red likker" flows
free as Bull Run water, where gam
bling runs riot with no bet less than
10 bucks, where runs the Old Oregon
Trail, where the old-time music hall
Is re-enacted with Intense reality, while
an orchestra plays appropriate music.
where everybody is out for an evening
or fun and has it.
This is but the first day. Every
thing is tense, all is excitement. All
look forward to the grand opening of
the Kound-up.
form near the Courthouse steps at
Green Bay.
The pathway of "surrender to force,"
Mr. Hughes told the audience at Green
Bay, in renewing his attack on the Ad
ministration for the Adamson law,
leads to but one end, "civil war." Mr.
Hughes referred to the action of the
Administration as "unpardonable."
The nominee also declared that no
body could embarrass him by talking
about Americanism.
"I am for the United States first, last
and all the time, without regard to any
one or to anything else," he said.
"I speak with added emphasis as the
friend of labor," Mr. Hughes said, in
discussing the Adamson law. "when I
say that the serious blow delivered re
cently at labor and enterprise'in this
country was unpardonable, that blow
being the surrender of the principle of
arbitration and the yielding of reason
to force.
"We look forward in this country to
a future very uncertain unless we have
peaceful settlement of grievances by
a careful examination and open-minded
consideration of the facts.
"When A does not agree with B they
are not allowed to fight it out in the
public square. They have got to come
into a court of law and fight it out
there, -not on the public square. We
have had times when railroad com
panies refused absolutely to arbi
trate grievances. But we have had
public sentiment develop greatly since
that time. We have a new spirit in
this country, I firmly believe. All we
have to do is to stand firmly for prin
ciple and we can get justice done.
The other way simply means the
rule of strength. There is-only one end
to that path, and that end is civil war."

FORGE IN 8-HOUR
LEGISLATION DENIED
Senator Stone Says Govern

With Men vor Roads.
I
ACTION IS CRISIS IS CITED
Democrat Says Critics of Presi
dent Seem to Think Cause of Fire
Should Be Investigated Be
fore Stamping, It Out.
CHICAGO. Sept. 20. "A word about
the so-called eight-hour law as related
to railroad operatives," by William J.
Stone, United States Senator from Mis
souri, was issued by the Western Na
tional Democratic Headquarters here
today. Accompanying the statement
was an assertion that Senator Stone
was representing the "thought of the
Administration on the subject. The
statement said in part:
"Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt, Root,
Lodge, Penrose, Crane, Pierpont Mor
gan, George W. Perkins, and that en
tire genus maintain that the President
and Congress surrendered to force and
thereby discredited public authority
and weakened the foundations of our
governmental institutions.
Charge Declared Hnlne.
"One weakness about this charge
is that It is false. Nobody threatened
the President or Congress; nobody de
manded anything of them. There was
no controversy between the Govern
ment and railway employes, nor be
tween the Government and the railroad
managements. The controversy was
purly industrial, waged between sev
eral hundred thousand men who ac
tually operate trains on the one hand
and' the managers of the railroads on
the other.
"The trouble had reached a point so
acute that these hundreds of thou
sands of men were on the verge of a
strike; they were about to quit work
and thus leave the entire railroad
transportation of the country tied up
for an indefinite period."
Possible Strike Effects Cited.
The statement then points out that
while the crisis existed. Senators and
Representatives and members of the
Administration v were receiving com
munications from all sections of the
country, indicating that "the public
sentiment also universally favored any
reasonable means of averting this
catastrophe." The Senator pointed out
the possible effects of a strike on the
fruitgrowers of the Far West; on
feeders of livestock; farmers shipping
grain on contracts, manufacturers of
steel and textiles under contract to be
shipped, on the fuel supply of the
country and on the mining and timber
industries and their allied interests and
dependents.
"The fact Is," he continued, "the very
threat of this Nation-wide lockup
caused a jump in the prices of food,
coal and all the necessaries of life and
industry and it is worthy of note that
when the danger passed, prices went
back to normal.
Prompt Action Deemed Necessary
"These are the things the President
faced and such the calamity he. brave
ly, patiently, patriotically sought to
avert. Who blames him? Mr. Hughes
says he should have investigated the
questions at issue before acting. They
seem to think that, although the house
was on fire, the President should have
inquired into the cause of the fire be
fore putting it out, instead of first
putting it out and then investigating
the cause.
"I can understand this argument
when made by men like J. Pierpont
Morgan, George W. Perkins and others
of that type, but I am amazed that
Justice Hughes should adopt it. I am
amazed that he would ally himself with
Mr. Morgan, multi-millionaire, prince of
Wall street, maker and wrecker of rail
roads, lord of the British Exchequer
in America
Is that really the issue Mr. Hughes

FEARLESS POLICY ADVISED
(Continued From First PHpf.)
"The Democratic party? No. The
Democratic party had ruined the situ
ation. What saved the situation was
the European war. If it had not been
for the extraordinary demands created
by that struggle we would have not
have to talk about it in thLs campaign,
for I believe the American people
would have been rising from one end
of the land to the other to secure an
Administration which would properly
conserve American interests.
"No, the same party did not aid busi
ness; they have not aided business.
What they have done has -been to build
on Republican foundations, an the best
p&Tl of their workmanship is taken
from Republican workmen and made
of Republican materials. What they
have done, according to their own
ideas and principles, has been deroga
tory to the interests of the United
States, and must be undone if we are
to have prosperity in the country.
"I would not be interested in talk
ing about American prosperity If 1
thought it was not speaking for the
great good of the masses, for whom
there is nothing "but impoverishment
and disaster unless we build up the
prosperity of the United States."
