' TARIFF NEEDED AFTER WAR Tice-Presldentlal Nominee Captures ' Audience at Armory at Start by Sallies of "Wit and Condemns Broken Platform Pledges, for anyone to vote for President "Wll on on the assumption that he kept us out of war seems like the Irony of fate, said Charles W. Fairbanks, Repub lican nominee for Vice-President, be fore an immense crowd at the Armory last night. Mr. Fairbanks ridiculed the over worked Democratic Idea that the Presi dent has kept the country out of war. The ' blundering occupation of Vera Cruz involved every element of war, h asserted. "Ask. If you will, the fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters of our brave boys In Vera Cruz, who now lie burled at home, if there was not war In Mexico." he besought. Mr. Fairbanks' speech was confined largrely to a discussion of the Demo cratic cry that "he kept us out of war," but he departed from this line of argu ment at frequent Intervals to plead for a continuation of the protective tariff policies to which, the Republican party stands committed. Peace to Bring Problems. Moreover, he made It plain that the tariff' question is closely Interwoven with the problems growing out of the present war in Europe. "The return of Mr, Wilson to "Wash ington means," he asserted, "that when the war ends we will confronted with serious economic and other prob lems. It will bo a.-batUtC,wagn.-bat tween the European and the American worklngman. We must protect our selves against the products of Europe's low-priced laborers if the standard of our wages la to be maintained." '. The. Multopor Club, attired' In natty white uniforms and led by a band, es corted the speaker and his party to the Armory. 'Conspicuous on the main floor was a large group of Grand Army veterans. Hughes and Roosevelt Applauded. Every seat in the Armory was filled. Many people etood in the aisles. The audience was enthusiastic and sym pathetic. It applauded vociferously at the mention of the 'name of Charles E. Hughes and again burst forth In loud acclaims when Mr. Fairbanks re ferred to Colonel Roosevelt. The names of Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Harri son, William McKlnley and William Howard Taft also were cheered. A group of Democrats in one corner of the house stirred up a big noise when the principal- reminded the peo ple of the dire consequences that have followed the Inauguration of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson Noise-Makers Silenced. They conducted what appeared-to be a, well-planned demonstration on hear, ing ' this magic name, but subsided when Mr. Fail-banks continued: "And we have regretted it ever ince." v A wild uproar greeted this witty re mark. The Wilson admirers never found another occasion to cheer through the whole evening. Governor Wlthycombe introduced the speaker. Preceding the introduction the audience wae well entertained by the Grand Army quartet. Witty Sallied Punctuate Talk. Contrary to the notion inspired by some newspaper humorists, Mr. Fair banks is not a cold and distant indi vidual, but, on the other hand, a man of genial nature and pleasing person ality. . He speaks extemporaneously and fre quently intersperses his seAous dis cussions with witty sallies at the "ex pense of his political opponents, with apt stories and pertinent jokes. His speech in Portland last night was the fourth cne of the day. He had spoken previously at Eugene, at Al bany and at Salem,, but his voice was in good condition. Governor Welcomes Nominee.

Those modern Democratic wise men who havf been counting the votes of Oregon -women as good as cast already for Wilson on the sentimental appeal of the' slogan "He kept us out of war" should have visited the gathering In Library Hall yesterday of 337 earnest men and women delegates assembled there from every corner of the state for the state-wide conference of the National Hughes Alliance of Oregon. These wise men would have beard. In words' so plain they couldn't be mis understood, what many Oregon women think about that same slogan and Its appeal. " . And, hearing, the wisest of them would have hastened out and done some "hedging" on rash bets, Slogan Torn to Pieces. "He kept us out of war" was quoted often, to be sure. But it was quoted to be denied and torn to pieces, for it very apparently was the opinion of the women present that the slain Ameri can citizens and soldiers in Mexico were considerable' evidence that "he" hadn't done anything of the sort. Mrs. E. B. Hanley. of Medford. stirred the conference and brought men and women- to their feet in patriotic fervor when she said, in the course of an elo quent address: "I didn't raise my boy to b'e a sol dier but I am raising my boy to re spect an American woman, and to pro tect her wherever she may 'be.

The Tribune Associa tion, registered In accordance, with the copyright law, Canada. Iul6. BT GRANTLAND RICE. BOSTON. Oct, . (Special.) This should be known as the Filbert Dy nasty, or the Nut Epoch in' balldom'a widespread empire. There was a time on opening day when world series' talk was built around the pitching of a Mathewson. a Walsh, a Donovan, a Bender, a Wood, a Tesreau or an Alexander, or per haps a Rudolph, a James, a Babe Adams or a Shore. These eminent Sons of Swat all op erate with the right arm exclusively, proving; the innate sanity of their vari ous times, but tonight around Boston the grand tip-off of this lop-sided age has been unfolded beyond any doubt.' Left-Handera Get Honor. Save for a few cursory remarks anent the reappearance of John Wesley Coombs, none but left-handers are al lowed to occupy the sacred portals of the dope. Brooklyn backers are talk ing of Rube Marquard and Boston camp followers are chanting on the names of Dutch Leonard and Babe Ruth. It Is almost a certainty now, so far as certainties ever get in such a com plex enterprise, that two left-han'dera will open the big Series Saturday aft ernoon for the first time In baseball history. There have been cases before where a left-hander opposed a right hander, the first Instance being in 1905. when Christy Mathewson hooked up with Edward T. Plank. But if you care to look back through the dope you will find tbat right handers have always been the prevail ing factors Dineen, Phillipe, Young. Lecver, Mathewson, McGinnity, Ben der. Walsh. Brown. Overall, Donovan. Adams, Coombs, Tesreau. Wood, B dlent, Rudolph, James and Alexander rounding out the bulk of the world se ries list. Katabliaaed Rales Are t'pset. The only left-handers who have fig ured to any great extent have been Altrock, Plank, Marquard and Leonard. But now we come to nothing but left handers for opening day. unless Brook lyn should decide to enter Jack Coombs against Leonard or Ruth at the final moment. Babe Ruth, while Boston's leading pitcher last year and her best winner this season, has yet to work In a world series game, but if he doesn't start Saturday be will be used early next week fceyond any doubt. Dutch Leon ard has pitched only one world series contest, and on that occasion he held the gasping Phillies in the palm of his big brown paw. If Rube Marquard starts against Leonard or Ruth, the same being the forecast for the afternoon jubilee, more than 40,000 of the fans elect should see one of the best pitching conclaves of the year. Marquard Has Experience. There is no great chance that Brook lyn batsmen will make any great head way against the Dutch person or the Big Babe, and if the Rube is anywhere near his best. Red Sox sluggers will find him a rough barrier in their way to success. ; For the Robe has the stuff, the con fidence now and more world series ex perience than any man on the mound. Having faced Frank Baker. Eddie Col lins. Stuffy Mclnnia and Tria Speaker. he will have no great mental flurries In tackling the team he has to meet. as aggressive as it is. Marquard gathered in renewed con fidence when he was set up as Ure final hope of Brooklyn success. The Phillies bad beaten bis mates seven ' times in succession. Another Phila delphia victory would have toppled the Robins into the vat beyond any debate. But at the Big Epoch Uio stalwart Rube stood Lloran'a hustling club upon their beam-ends, driving them in utter rout from the field. Hard Cue Kxpec-ted. This exhibition was enough to show that Marquard had returned age$n to the old output that a few years sSO made . him the terror of the batting tribe. He will have the memory of this last Philly start in his dome when he tackles Boston and he will also have the memory of a certain. October afternoon four years ago when he gave the Giants new hops by trimming Bos ton with Speaker at his best. So Boston will have no monopole on good pitching today or Monday. If fhe Red Sox pitchers slip a trifle, they will be in for a harder game than the) first expected to o raw. But it is well enough to remejmber that Red Sox pitchers have not beei in the habit ot slipping when put against, the tent. They bad enough to roll back the Phillies last year and to beat letroit and Chicusro any time iCvucluiiuu. oa 1. Coluuxu X..
