Mr. Myers has been calling some of the democratic brethren Into hla office and feeling them out as to his possible can diilacy.

Never has Portland witnessed a more whole-hearted demonstration of true patriotism, the sort which goes beyond mere acelsitn and demonstration. For six weeks the electricians contributed their spare time In hard work on a marvel ous electrical display at the Auditorium. Kiectrlcal dealers contributed the supplies and after the work was completed the elec tric companies furnished the power. Every --nt of the proceeds from ths series of dances held went to the Red Cross fund. It amounted to several thousand dollars. Could there be a'nv mora explicit demonstration of practical, useful and purposeful patriotism? To the faithful men who save their spare time evenincs and Sundays for weeks, to their unions, which footed every cent of nyiwry expense from their own funds; to the dealers who save the equipment needed, and to the companies that furnished the power for the displays built. Portland owes a debt of sratltude in behalf of the gallant boys who are sacrificing; their all, and for whooe benefit, comfort and safety the elec tric people sve their services. illlilllNNIIIIIIIIlllIN Grays.

"There must be but one thought in our National mind, and that is the war, the war, the war. Every act of our everyday life should be guided and measured by its ultimate effect on the one great issue. "At home this must be absolute peace; political peace in order that the world outside may know that we are unanimous in our great undertaking; industrial peace in order that the work of fighting may go on, and by indus trial peace I do not refer to labor alone.. - "But there must be no peace for that unspeakable, oh! that despicable thing the I. W. W. He is the traitor, net. And there Is another that there must be no peace for; I mean the man who goes about subtly with traitorous ut terances, always within the law. There must be no peace for nun, no matter how high up he is." Mr. Hays wound up his day of re markable activity in Spokane by an address in the Auditorium Theater along non-partisan lines. He was in troduced by Governor Lister, of Wash ington, a Democrat, after the Governor had made a war speech, and Hays came right back, with another war speech, which aroused the enthusiasm of the large- audience. On the platform among other notables was S. A. Per kins, Tacoma publisher and National Republican committeeman for Wash- ngton. The Governor, Mr. Hays and Mr. Perkins left for the coast at 9 o'clock tonight, presumably on the same train. During the afternoon Mr. Hays and Mr. Perkins had a love feast with the heads of the former Progressive organ ization In the county and state. Progressives were led by Leroy Slater, former state Progressive chairman, and the breach between the Progressives and Republicans, if any existed, seems to be almost healed. The evening speech was along the same lines aa those marking the talks. Mr. HayB has been delivering speeches in other Northwestern cities.
