SUPPORTERS WORK HARD Xtoports From East of Cascades anil AVillamette Vailey Indicate ths Usual G. O. P. Vote Will Be Given Xext Month. Charles L. McNary, of Salem, chair man of the Republican State Central Committee and of the Hughes cam paign committee, is confident that Ore gon will go for Hughes by & sub stantial majority. "One Important and significant fact In this campaign is the interest mani fested by former Progressives and Re publicans generally in the election of Mr. Hughes." said Mr. McNary. "The Hughes supporters in Oregon are really working. The heavy demand for Hughes buttons from all over the state means something. They have been calling for buttons faster than we can supply them, though more than 100,000 buttons have been distributed. "The people realize that their best interest lies in good times and that it is more than merely a coincidence that Republican administrations are co ordinate with good times and Demo cratic administrations with hard times. "Reports from through Kastern Ore Ron indicate that that section will re turn its usual Republican majority. I was in Pendleton several days ago when Senator Norris, of Nebraska, rpoke there. The theater was packed. Senator Norris spoke for two and one half hours, but not a dozen persons left the theater before he had finished. When an audience will stay two ami one-half hours to hear any man speak It Is because they are interested. "I have been down the Willamette Valley in the last week as far as Eu gene and sentiment there is unques tionably overwhelming for Hughes. Reports from Southern Oregon are fa vorable." Betting on the election is picking up. Wilson money, which a few weeks ago was difficult to obtain in Portland, has loosened up and now is fairly plenti ful. Hereabouts, however, the odds are quite at variance with those quoted in the latest reports from New York. There the betting is reported to be 10 to 7 and even 10 to 6 on Hughes, but in Portland they have dropped from 10 to 8 a couple of weeks ago to even money. The largest individual bettor so far appears to be Mark A. Mayer, who is supporting Mr. Hughes. Mr. Mayer has bet $5000 at even money on Hughes to be elected and has announced that he has J5000 more to bet at the same i figure. In addition, Mr. Mayer made another wager last week of $1000 to $500 on Hughes to carry Oregon. Dr. J. W. Morrow took the Wilson end. Several other bets on the state at odds rang ing from 2 to 1 to 10 to 8 were reported. There is also some betting on the re sult in Multnomah County. Milton Wasserman bet $200 to $100 last-week on Hughes to carry the county. An other who has given odds of 2 to 1 on Hughes in Multnomah is K. K. Kubli, who bet $100 asainet $50. Some of "the boys" are going far field for their bets. Thus, F. Hoch feld slapped down a wager of $15 at even money the other day on con necticut for Wilson. And numerous other small bets have been placed on various Eastern states. Among them are three at 10 to 1 on Pennsylvania for -Hughes, made at the University Club yesterday. The Democratic Women's Club of Portland, will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock in room A of the Central Li brary. to hear an address by Marshall N. Dana, independent candidate for County Clerk of Multnomah County. Miss Bernarda Harry will sing. Miss Leona larrabee, president of the club, will preside. The. club invites all women interested in political questions t to attend the meeting.

Senator Harry Iane, of Oregon, will speak to Salem Democrats on behalf of Woodrow Wilson tonight. Headquarters of the Multorpor Repub lican Club, 333 Oak street, yesterday is sued instructions for the members who will parade as escort to Gifford Fln chot tonight. The instructions were issued by C. J. Wheeler, first sergeant, as follows: "Assemble at headquarters, 333 Oak street, at 7 P. M. Monday, sharp. The parade will take the place of the regu- i .. ....T.i.. .1 1 I ,1 i jo Aurntmrlv hoped that every member of the bat talion will be present.

Gladding at the headquar ters." On Thursday night the Multorpor Club will go in a body to Oregon City, where they will act as -uniformed escort for Mrs. E. B. Hanley at a. big Hughes meeting there. Ronald C. Glover, secretary of the Republican Congressional committee in the First Congressional District, in be half of the committee has written to the Democratic and Prohibition State ' Central Committees declining a "chal lenge" from them that Representative W. C. Hawley debate the Democratic candidate. Mark V. Weatherford. In his letter. Mr. Glover says In part: "It is noted that you suggest a debate between Congressman Hawley and Tl. V. Weatherford. the subjects being in geniously selected by one. One of them, at least, has no bearing whatever upon the public duties of a Representative in Congress, and is one upon which there is no difference of opinion. - "This committee has noted by press reports and from letters received that your canaidate has not been able to se cure any audience except he be billed .with some other greater light, and we appreciate his predicament. Yet he should seek some other attraction than a Congressman for a drawing card. "Your candidate's deceit in pretend ing to espouse prohibition in order to secure votes will deceive no one. The criminal court records of Linn, Benton and Lincoln Counties show that he has been defending bootlegging cases. These cases are numerous and most of them resulted in conviction of the of fenders. "It would not become the high office of Congressman for Mr. Hawley to hold any joint debate with an aspirant who pretends one thing on this subject when indisputable court records show he does Just the opposite, even though he may not have been then running for office, or contemplating doing so." The Women's Republican Club of Oregon met at the Multnomah Hotel Saturday and elected the following members to its governing board: Rose P. Kinne, . chairman; Mrs. Solomon Hirsch, Mrs. Henry E. Jones, Mrs. O. O. Fletcher, llr. H. A. Codfelter, Mrs. K. A. Martin, Mrs. W. J. Kelley, Isabelle Kelley. Mrs. Mary I. Gallatly. Mrs. J. D. Kenworthy, Mrs. Clara B. French, Mrs. N. C. Maris.

McArthur, candi date for re-election to Congress: Judge J. P. Kavanaugh, B. F. Mulkey, T. F. Hurlburt, Sheriff of Multnomah County, and others will speak. "I want to cill your attention to the probate matters coming before the County Court." said George M. McBride. candidate for County Judge, speaking at Lents Saturday night. "Perhaps many of you who are interested in Juvenile Court work have overlooked the fact that between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 pass through the hands of the judge of this court every year, and that the Judge must be looked to for the proper protection of the widow . and orphan after the husband and father is dead. "It is not a question with you so much of my party affiliation as it is of fitness and qualification to administer the affairs of tne office of County Judge." - Mr. McBride also spoke at Sycamore during the evening and visited Wood lawn Grange. He will speak at 332 Tenth street Monday night and at Shat- tuck School Tuesday night. A straw vote held Saturday in a bar ber shop at Fourth and Yamhill streets went strongly for- Hughes and McAr thur. The Tote was conducted by W.

HAWLEY IS HEARD LAKGK SPRIXGPIGLD AUDIEXCE GREETS REPRESENTATIVE, Administration Denounced for Vndrr- wood Dill nnd Other Sinn oC Omission and Commlxiion. SPRINGFIELD. Or., Oct. 22. (Spe cial.; representative W. C. Hawley, or the First Oregon District, spoke Saturday to a house which was crowded with Hughes enthusiasts, on the Re pumican aspect of the tariff, the war in Europe and trouble in Mexico. Mr Hawley attacked the Democratic stand on the tariff, declaring that a free trad policy is disastrous to the American people. "If we put American manufactured goods and American" farm products on the free list," saM Mr. Hawley, "the laborer In this country would have to lower his standard of living and the farmer would have to forego many of the products of the factory he now enjoys. The Underwood tariff bill threw 3,000,000 men out of employment during the first year of its operation. Free trade has closed our lumber mills because Canadian free lumber has in vaded the Oregon market. "One man has not kept the American people out of war with Europe. It would be impossible for us to get into this war unless we wedged our way in. When It is all over, if we hold to a free trade policy millions of dollars' worth of foreign manufactured goods will be dumped on our markets and will compel Americans to walk the streets or accept a lower standard of living." Before the rally the Hughes-Fair banks Club, the city band and many prominent local politicians paraded the etreets. Mr. Hawley had a quartet of singers from the Eugene High Sc.iool with him. THREE-MILE TRENCH TAKEN Continued From First Paffe.) mADE BY FilR. HUGHES Nominee Not Committed to In dependent Conference or to Anyone Else. PUBLIC UTTERANCES CLEAR Democratic National Committer Makes Alleged Disclosures of Assurances Given O'Leary. Full Denial Made. NEW YORK. Oct. 22. Charles E. Hughes. Republican nominee for Pres ident, denied tonight the charge of the Democratic National Committee that 1i had entered Into a secret agreement with the American Independent Con ference, in which Jeremiah A. O'Leary is said to be the central figure. His denial was in reply to a state ment issued from Democratic headquar ters in this city containing what pur ported to be a report made by Mr. O'Leary at the session of the conference in Chicago. In this alleged report O'Leary was quoted as havins said: "Mr. Hughes promised that his fu ture conduct in the speech-making line should be entirely satisfactory to the interests of the committee." The Democratic statement charged that O'Leary and his committee were delegated to meet Mr. Hughes and as certain his attitude with reference to 'Mr. Roosevelt's pro-British and anti- American utterances In particular and hie (Mr. Hughes') policies in general." Formal Statement Issaed. The Republican reply was issued at Montclair at midnight after a three- hour conference between National Chairman Wiljcox and Mr. Hughes. The former called early in the evening, dined with the nominee and afterward went into confer ence with him over the nominee's recent trip. While they were con ferring the Democratic statement was read to them over the telephone. A few minutes before midnight Chairman Willcox issued this state ment: "Chairman Willcox said this evening that the matter referred to had been brought to the attention of Mr. Hughes over the telephone and that Mr! Hughes replied: " 'I saw the persons mentioned at their request about the middle of Sep tember, just as I have seen all persons and delegations so far as possible who have asked me to receive them. " 'I have said nothing In private that I have not said in public. At the very beginning in my speech of acceptance I declared my position in favor of the absolute protection of American lives American property and American com merce. This I reiterated to these per sons, and I have stated it to all others who have asked interviews as well as in my public speeches. Xo Private Atrrrmcnta Made. "'To this maintenance of all Ameri can rights I adhere and shall continue to adhere. I have declared over and over again that I have made no pri vate agreements and have engaged In no intrtigues, and I repeat that state ment." " After quoting Mr. Hughes.' Chairman Willrcx's statement continues: "Chairman Willcox further said that the National committee has not had and has not now any agreement or understanding with anybody on such a matter." The statement issued by the Demo cratic committee was read over the telephone to Mr. Hughes and Mr. Willcox by an employe of the Repub lican National committee at New York into whose hands a copy had fallen about -9 o'clock tonight. It was then taken down by a stenographer over the telephone and transcribed. With the transcription before them Mr. Hughes and Mr. Willcox prepared the statement which Mr. Willcox issued. The committee which saw Mr. UuehPH, includes, besides Mr. O'Leary, Will R. McDonald, of New York; Carl E. Schmidt, of Detroit, chairman of the National committee of the American Independent Conference, and Frank Seibertlch, of Boston. It was appoint ed at a meeting in Detroit on Septem ber 7. Alleged Disclosures Published. The alleged disclosures, for which the Democratic National committee an nounce it assumes full responsibility, purports to have been taken from the "official minutes and authenticated stenographic transcripts of certain pro ceedings of the American Independent Conference, the high-sounding title of the secret, racial organization under which Jeremiah A. O'Leary and his associates have been making their fur tive and Nation-wide campaign in the interest of Charles Evans Hughes." At a conference held September 30. last, it is asserted. O'Leary made his report, which In substance was that Mr. Hughes had assured the "special committee" (O'Leary and his associ ates) that he had sent a congratulatory telegram to Colonel Roosevelt on the occasion of the Colonel's Lewiston. Me., speech, before he (Mr. Hughes) had ac tually read the address. According to O'Leary, the Democratic statement said, Mr. Hughes "had simply glanced over the newspaper" headlines and comments and felicitated Colonel Roosevelt upon what apparently was a great Repub lican utterance." i Statement Read by Committee. A statement read to Mr. Hughes by the "special committee." according to the Democratic national committee, said in part: "We, representing a large percentage of the voters of the United States, who believe In the principles of American independence and sovereignty, in con ference assembled at Detroit, Septem-J Der 7, 1916. have been attracted by the telegram of congratulation which was sent by the Honorable Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for Pres ident of the United States, to Theodore Roosevelt upon the deliverance by him of a public speech at the city of Lewis ton, Me., which carried with it by ex pression and implication, an endorse ment by Mr. Hughes of Mr. Roosevelt's pro-British and anti-American public utterances, which position has hereto fore been condemned by us in confer ence and convention as inconsistent with American ideals and American history. "Under these circumstances, we de sire to call the attention of Mr. Hughes to the fact that Mr. Roosevelt, actu ated by race prejudice and a desire to serve British interests, designedly at tacked a large part of the American people, while he did not mention any of the flagrant, arrogant and continual transgressions upon American rights by Great Britain. . "We therefore designate Carl E. Schmidt. Will R. MacDonald. Jeremiah A. O'Leary and Frank Seibertlch as representatives to place before air. Hughes this document and we further respectfully request and empower them to secure from Mr. Hughes a definite statement for the benefit of a broad and liberal Americanism that has been offended by the British propaganda, creating as it does social antagonism in our country, with resultant destruc tion and surrender of American rights, whether or not he will administer the Prasidency of the United States in ac cordance with the spirit of the fathers and the whole American people In stead of at the behest of present-day tories. materialists and war partisans, who proclaim the false doctrine that American patriotism is British subserv iency and the 'spirt of '76' Is a treas onable hyphenlsm. O'Leary Did Not Submit Question. "To this document, we. the under- luKiien. representing various organs, individuals, constituents and Interests throughout the United States, affix our names as an Indication of our approval oi inose we represent.- A copy of the charges made by the uemocratic committee was shown to O'Leary at the close of an address he made here tonight, in which he de nounced the Wilson Administration. He expressed surprise and at first said he had nothing to say. Later, however, when asked If he had ever discussed the British blacklist witn Mr. Hughes, he said: a never aia suDmit any sucb ques tion to cnaries K. Hughes." O'Leary refused to discuss the state ment further. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL. REPORT. PORTLAND, Oct. Maximum temper- lure, im. aegreei; minimum. 4.tt agrees.

Adaption of Title rant for New Hym nal Assented to Ilisbop Irgri Hearing' for Socialism. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 22. Efforts to change the name of too Protestant Kpiscopal Church have been abandoned In the convention In session here, leaders of the wing of the church advocating the change announced today. This follows the action of the house of deputies in convention yesterday adopting without debate a title page for a new hymnal which reaffirmed the presient name of the church. . A change of name has been advocated by some on the ground tiiat the word "Protestant' in the title apparently al lies It with those denominations hav ing their origin with the reformation. The Protestant Kpiscopal Church traces Its history to the time of Christ, they awert. Tens of thousands of un-churched people In the United States today, per sons of excellent character and reli gious parentage, are to be won back to the church by fair play, a sense of jus tice and a life of willing sacrifice on the part of the clergy. Itight Itev. Will iam Lawrence. Bishop of Massachusetts, said in the official sermon of the gen eral convention here today. Speaking of social Justice, the Bishop lias urged a larger consideration for a man touched with "the spirit of Social ism." "When such a man rises up, the church, or Christian people, may not condemn without a hearing." he con tinued. "Fair play Is what the people demand from the church. Men of today want and will have truth and we must, -as a church, give such a man a hearing." ;irl Swims Golden Gate. PAN' FRANCISCO. Oct. 'IS. Miss Wally Mahn, of ' San Francisco, swam across the Golden Gate today, making the best time of eight girls who started.

Miss Mahn swam from shore to shore, a distance approximately of one mile, in :t2 minutes and 7 seconds, a minute behind the time made recently by "Uabe" Wrluht. another local mermaid.

The Germans delivered a coun ter attack yesterday against this work, to which they appear to attach much importance.. Our men employed bombs and rifle grenades so vigorously that the foe never reached the parapet, but was beaten back, leaving a great num ber of dead and wounded in the open. "In the small hours of the morning a stronger and more determined as sault was launched against the same spot. On this occasion the enemy gaind a footing In- the redoubt, but our men fought so fiercely that the enemy was soon routed, leaving one of ficer and 79 men In our hands. "A feature cf the past few days has been the highly successful counter battery work of our artillery, direct hits having been made upon a large number of enemy guns and emplace ments. In view of the fact that the Germans admit that they are wearing out their guns on the Somme front more rapidly than they can be re placed, this is evidently satisfactory."
