THE SU2TDAY OBEGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 6, 190. YARNS OF HILL He Is the Man Who Gave Parker "Facts," YOIGE ALONE IS ALTON'S HisGoach Believes in Getting Votes by. Hook or Crook. ' FUTURE IS NEVER CONSIDERED Most Painful Thing About the Sorry Business Is -That It Illustrates the ex-Govcrnor Is Really the Whole Show. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. (Special.) The Evening Sun contains the following edi torial: . "The voice is Alton's voice, but the yarns are yarns ol David. The Democrat ic candidate for President Is making just the kind of a campaign the man who con trived his nomination would make if he .Stood in Parker's shoes. David B. Hill Is , really the whole show. He supplied both candidates. "Hill was playing peanut politics, as usual. The nomination of Davis would Insure plutocratic contribution to the campaign fund and muzzle Kinsman Bl klns, as well as enlist the services of ' Kinsman Gorman, ergo, West Virginia would be redeemed. Hill did not supply - the whole platform, but the St Louis - resolutions Jiave cut no figure in the cam paign. He supplied the organization up- - state and coached the candidate nay by day, and finally supplied the burning Is pue, 'Shall the Presidency be bought?' "Facts? Lord bless you, David never " bothers about them. He has no more use for conscience In politics than the human system has for the vermiform appendix. Any sensation that may fool the people Is good enough for him. The thing la to get their votes by hook or by crook. There Is no hereafter, in Hill's political philos ophy, for the candidate who wins. "Of course. Hill put Judge Parker up to the trick of bidding for the Presidency by crying 'Stop, thief!' The painful thing about the sorry business Is that It illus trates the malign influence which Hill has over the 'noble Parker,' if the people should be fooled Into electing him. The real President would bo the man behind him. "Who can doubt it?" CHARGES FALL TO THE GROUND Roosevelt Has Facts to Bear Out His Statement. CHICAGO, Nov. 5. (Special.) The News, independent, "has the following re garding the reply of President Roosevelt to the charges of Judge Parker: "It is well known that Mr. Roosevelt speaks the truth when he says in his in dignant reply to Judge Parker's grave ac cusations that Mr. Cortelyou was taken from the Cabinet to manage the National campaign only after EUhu Root, "W. Mur ray Crane and Cornelius N. Bliss had "been successively urged to do that work. This being true and susceptible of proof, the elaborate theory that the Department of Commerce and Labor was established to Intimidate the trusts for campaign purposes, and was headed by Cortelyou to qualify him for the job of blackmailer, falls to the ground. "It is a pity that Judge Parker, yielding to the strong pressure brought upon him by his advisers, has given countenance to these wholly gratuitous charges. "'Compare my Cortelyou with your Taggart, says President Roosevelt. The point is well taken." CUTS TO CORE OF CHARGES. Roosevelt's Statement Confirms Pop ular Estimate of His Honesty. CHICAGO, Nov. 5. (Special.) The Chronicle editorially referring to tho reply of the President tp the charge of Judge Parker, says: "Mr. Roosevelt's statement from be jginnlng to end is thoroughly manly manly In Its frankness; manly in Its unflinching recognition of the infamy , implied by Mr. Parker's. charges; manly In its cutting clean through inuendo and Implication to the core of the charges; manly in its indignant and 2 straightforward declaration that the 'statements made by Mr. Parker are unqualifiedly and atrociously false. ', "It Is a document which will confirm the estimate which men of sense and 'honesty have placed on the character of Mr. Roosevelt, and which will seal J the 'heavy condemnation of the man who has so recklessly and viciously assailed it. "The document is abundantly justi fied by its own indignant and palpable truthfulness." NEITHER EVADES NOR ABUSES . President's Message Appeals to the American Love of Fair Play. , . NEW YORK, Nov. 5. (Special.) The Globe refers as follows to the statement j of President Roosevelt, denying the j charges of Judge Parker: ' 1 speak now lest the silence of self respect be misunderstood.' "That is the keynote of President Roose velt's indignant and forcible denial pt the insinuation behind the charges that have been brought against, not only his per sonal character, but the honor of the high office that he holds. n "In his denial the President puts the re I sponslblllty for this accusation upon Park- er and makes his use of the charges the jt excuse for replying to them. That Is- as it should be. As long as the accusation was campaign newspaper slander. It was unworthy of the notice of the President, Q but when Parker, the candidate of the op , posing party, took the charges up, made them his own, and declared 'that he knew them to be true,' the extraordinary nature of the proceeding called for un usual treatment "As tho President says, tho accusations against Mr. Cortelyou and himself are monstrous, and If true would brand both of them with infamy, and 'Inasmuch as , itfcey are fa0et ba&vy, xmt fee the con demnation of the man making them.' That the whole case. If Judge Parker and his supporters decide they will not accept the President's denial as final, they must take the next step and ask the American peo ple to belleTe that he is not only a gigan tic blackmailer, but -a willful and shame less falsifier as well. They have two more days in which to undertake this task. 'President Roosevelt has replied to his traducers. His message to them and the public does not require to be read between lines. It Is explicit. It does not evade. Neither does It abuse. Its tone is moder atate, but certain, confident and conclu sive, appealing to the American love of fair play." ISSUE BECAME MAN TO MAN. Roosevelt's Sense of Honor Demanded He Reply to Traducers. CHICAGO, Nov. 5. (Special.) The Evening Post, commenting on President Roosevelt's reply to Judge Parker's charges, says: "Theodore Roosevelt's character and career are. and have been from the first, the best the final answer to any charge of dishonesty the viclouo folly of political pssslon has trumped up against him. No word of his was necessary to defend him or to refute such calumny. Therefore, the preposterous charges parroted by his sup posedly just and dignified opponent might well have been ignored. They- were not taken seriously by the great mass of the American people; they were obviously the last desperate resort of an utterly routed and completely demoralized political foe. There was consequently no reason of po litical necessity or expediency for the President's sweeping denial. "There was a reason, nevertheless, a reason of manhood, and this reason. every man will recognize. The issue was man to man, and no one with a sense of justice, with a sense of personal honor, will fall to sympathize with Mr. Roosevelt's de termination to brand the personal attack for what It Is, 'unqualifiedly and-atrociously false.' It is a document of honesty and courage and vigorous manly feeling." Deserves the Highest Indorsement. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. (Special.) The Star, Independent, today says: "The President's reply to Judge Parker's charges deserves the highest Indorsement on Its propriety and its vigor. The issue as now made up is vividly distinct. Either the Presidential candidate of one party Is a slanderer for partisan purposes, and this Issue, humiliating to the Nation in either alternative of Its decision, has been forced upon the country by that can didate who, at the outset proclaimed the' elimination of all personalities from his campaign." TAGGART SAVING HIMSELF. He Is Willing to Be Ousted, Now In diana Is Surely Lost. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. (Special.) An Indianapolis dispatch to the Star says: "Today the Democrats throughout In diana were surprised to hear on high authority in their own party that Chair man Taggart had been ousted by the Eastern members of the Democratic Na tional Committee, and that It was no longer worth while denying It. "Investigation has tended to establish the fact that Taggart himself authorized the statement. The statement is regard ed as a pre-election one on Taggart's part to save himself if Indiana is lost to the party. He Is In possession of absolute In formation that Indiana is Republican by a majority of not less than 20,000, and by cautiously advertising the fact that he was ousted by the Easterners seeks thus to throw all responsibility for this failure In Indiana and elsewhere on their shoulders. Taggart will not return to New York at all, at least not until after election, possibly not then. PARKER FOOLED ALL ALONG. He Accepted Misstatements When the Facts Were to Be Had for Asking. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. (Speclal.)-A New York dispatch to the Washington Star says: "The week, which began so auspiciously for the Democrats, closes with a distinct trend toward the Republicans. Disap pointment and chagrin are felt by the Democratic observers who expected Judge Parker to make a whirlwind finish. He has not come up to their highest expec tations in the character of his speeches, and the results have been disappointing. From the outset Parker seems to have been the victim of those who have led him into unwise statements. He permit ted some one to fool him about the Treas ury figures, when a most casual Inquiry could have developed the facts. He ac cepted misstatements about the Philip pines figures, and adopted them as his own, when he could have had the facts for the asking. He followed sensational charges of newspapers and uttered libel on Cortel you and Roosevelt. "In none Of his speeches this week has he voiced any decided political policies of his party. He has contented himself with only the most general arguments and vague and unsupported charges which are usually heard only from car-tall orators. His speeches have not won him any votes from men who were undecided." NOW AWAIT VOTE. (Continued from First Page.) saults upon the Chairman of the Repub lican National Committee. Judge Parker made this issue the Issue of his party and forced the letter of defense from his opponent. Issues raised in platforms. In speeches of nomination, in letters of acceptance and in literature of the National Commit tee were swept away in a day, and upon the brink of the election the parties con front each other with the assertion and denial of the two candidates the leading feature. "What others have said or may say, and what managers may claim or deny, all goes for nothing In the face of the re markable spectacle of two Presidential candidates closing a contest with public utterances of such vigorousness and di rectness that no one can mistake their meaning. TEXAS GIVEN TO DEMOCRATS. Apathy Was Very Marked Until the Last Few Weeks. AUSTIN, Tex.. Nov. 6. Texas is ex pected to poll about 350,000 votes out of a possible 630,000 registered In the poll-tax pamphlet. There Is a very marked apathy In politics this year, the Democ racy being conceded an overwhelming ma jority. The state leaders have been stir ring the voters into some activity during the past few weeks. The Democrats will elect a full Congressional delegation. Both Sidte Confident In Nevada. CARSON CITY, Nev.. Nov. 5. The closing; of the campaign In Nevada brings no diminution of. the confidence of each, party to carry the state. While both are equally confident, they admit that tJu vote will fee loee. WILL-GET MONTANA Republicans Confident Roose velt Will Carry It. PLURALITY PLACED AT 5000 Re-E!eetioh of Congressman Dixon Appears Almost Certain Demo crats. Generally Expected to Elect, the Governor. HELENA, Mont., Nov. 5. (Special.) The campaign in Montana virtually closed tonight with every indication that the re sult of Tuesday's election will be highly favorable to the Republicans, although they will probably lose the Governorship and several state offices. After a careful canvass of the several counties and Inter views with leading politicians, the result may be conservatively forecasted as fol lows: Roosevelt and Fairbanks will have a majority ranging between 000 and 8000. Congressman Joseph M. Dixon (Rep.) will be re-elected by -a similar or slightly reduced majority, while Joseph. K. Toole (Dem.) for Governor will be his own suc cessor, defeating Lindsay (Rep.) by about 2000. The reason for this mixed result will be found in the personal popularity of tho candidates. President Roosevelt was an early-day resident of Eastern Montana and Is regarded almost as an idol, save in the cities which constitute the Demo cratic strongholds. Betting is an even-money proposition as to which will have the largest majority, Toole or Roosevelt, while both are odds on and virtually prohibitive favorites. The various parties In tho field are devot ing their energies to Silver Bow Cpunty, the stronghold of the Democracy of the state. In Butto tonight as many as three different political meetings were held within a block, each set of politicians accusing the other of giving a signal to their bands to play when the orator of the opposing faction attempted to say anything. Bands clashed on tho streets and Roman candles and red-fire brigades illuminated the thoroughfares. The main issue of the state campaign is the fidelity of the Republicans and Democrats to the Initiative and referen dum, primary election laws and railroad commission, indorsed by both parties, and the election of a United States Sen ator to succeed Pari3 Gibson. Ex-Senator Thomas H. Carter is the Republican can didate, W. G. Conrad Is the Democratic and F. Augustus Helnze Is the Fuslonlst. A three-cornered fight Is on In Silver Bow County, the so-called Helnze forces waging a bitter struggle for the election of the legislative candidates on the fusion ticket, together with their nominee for the District Court Judge, In opposition to the candidate of the Democratic and Republican parties. Chairman H. L. Frank, of the State Democratic Committee, tonight predicted that Montana will give Judge Parker about 1500 majority over Roosevelt, and J. K. Toole (Dem.) 2000 majority over William Lindsay (R.). IDAHO DEMOCRATS DOWNCAST Fight on Mormons Unavailing, and State Is Conceded to R&osevelt. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 5. THe campaign in Idaho virtually closed tonight and the registration also closed. The latter shows a great increase over that of two years ago. In 1902, there were 60,252 votes cast, and the Republicans won by a plurality of 5S53 for Governor. This year tho reg istration Indicates a vote approximately 73,000. .The Democrats have made the Mormon question their main issue, that being discussed by all the speakers. The Republicans think the issue has not had material effect In the non-Mormon coun ties, but that It will throw a very large proportion of the Mormon vote to the Republican state ticket. A plurality for Roosevelt is conceded by most Democrats, though the campaign managers say they have a chance to carry the state for Par ker. Chairman Brady, of the Republican State Committee, claims a plurality of 15,000 for Roosevelt, and says the state ticket will run close to the same figure. It seems likely, however, that the state ticket will fall considerably behind the National ticket. It all depends on the Mormons. It has been said they would practically all vote the Republican state ticket, but It is now stated the Mormon Democrats may refrain from voting for state candidates. The Republicans will probably control the Legislature, but there is no United States Senator to be elected. CALIFORNIA'S VOTE IS CERTAIN Republicans Believe Roosevelt Will Carry Congressmen Through. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5. The cam paign closing generally In California has been a very quiet one. It is generally conceded that the Republican electoral ticket will be elected by a large major ity. The estimates vary from 10,000 to 50,000. Eight Congressmen and one Su preme Judge are to be chosen. Of the Congressmen, the Republicans claim they will elect all, while the Democrats say they are positive of electing three, and possibly four.

Ho4's SarsprIUa premtoM t urs an4 kHf th promt ion of National Electors and state officers closet tonight with speeches for the De mocracy' by Jwdge Alton B. Parker In iJrooklyn; by Congressman Bonrko Cockran and by Mayor McClellan In New York; by D. Cady Herri ck, nominee for Governor, in Schenectady, and by David B. Hill in Elmlra, and for the Republi cans by Governor Odell in Brooklyn and Frank W. Hlggins, nominee for Governor, in MIddletown and Port Jervis. Not since the election of Cleveland In 1832 has the New York Democracy made such an elaborate organization through out the. state with a view to getting out the vote as it did this year. The party which. -during the Bryan campaign, was in tho hands ot the Nebraskan's friends, was once more under the control of old-time leaders, and David B. Hill, ex-Governor, and William F. Sheehan were most promi nent In the party councils. Speeches were made by Mr. Hill, Richard Olney, Bourke Cockran and others, and as a climax G ro ver Cleveland spoke at a notable meeting at Carnegie Hall. Tonight, when the last word had been said, ana all the work has been done, both sides claimed the state for both the Na tional and state tickets. The Republicans, while admitting that Hlggins' vote might be lower than Roosevelt's, declared their candidate surely would be elected. In re ply, tho Democrats said they not only would elect Herrick but would carry the state for Parker. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, said today that the majorities for both state and National tickets in Greater New York would be unprecedentedly large. Governor Odell. who Is also chairman of the State Re publican Committee, expressed complete confidence that Roosevelt's majority in the state would be very large, and that Hlggins would win by a large vote. The campaign for the Btate ticket was the most strenuously contested and tho bitterest In many years, surpassing In these respects even the historic campaign of ISM, which resulted in the loss of tho state to the Democratic party. From the time that it became apparent that Senator Thomas C Piatt, so long the undisputed leader of the New York Republicans, bad been displaced and that Governor Odell was In control of the party, the efforts of the Democratic managers have been di rected against Mr. Odell with a view to showing he had been guilty of Improper official acts and that his acceptance of the state chairmanship while Governor was in violation of all political ethics. A statement made in the. Gubernatorial contest of two years ago that Mr. Odell has been Interested financially In sales of groceries to state Institutions, made by a grocery firm of Newburg, the Gov ernor's home town, was revived; and to this was added a charge by Attorney General Cuanen, the only Democratic member of the state administration, that Odell had caused to be paid an illegal claim of more than $17,000 for removal of rock under a state contract, presented by the Furnaceville Iron Company. Frank W. HIgglns, Republican nominee for Gov ernor, who, as Lieutenant-Governor, vot ed for the claim, also was criticised. It was charged that the company removed no rock and should not have been paid. The allegation was made that the backer of the Furnaceville Iron Company were friends of the Governor, and this fact caused the passago of tho claim. All of these allegations were made use of In opposition to Mr. Hlggins on the ground that his nomination bad been brought about by Mr. Odell, and. if elect ed, he would be "Odell's man." Soon af ter his nomination Mr. HIgglns made reply to these statements, declaring spe cifically that If .elected he would be "his own man." and' that in dealing1 with all public questions he would be' governed entirely by his own conscience. He added that hi3 vote on the Furnaceville Iron Company's claim had been cant on cer tificates from state engineers .to the ef fect that the claim was propei and legal. So far as Mr. Hlggins vote was con cerned, a Democratic paper In New York City stated editorially a wck ago that it believed he was blameless in the mat ter. Both D.CHerrick, the Dnocratic nom inee, and Mr. HIgglns trp.de vigorous speeches, speaking In mosv of the cities and some of tho smaller toVms. Mr. Her rick from the start made he statements concerning Mr. pdelL The text of his speeches and the warxnth -ot feeling brought about by the reiteration of the allegation caused sharp replies by Mr. HIgglns and Mr. Odell. In addition, EUhu Root. ex-Secretary of War, In a speech at Madison Square Gar den, said he had made careful examina tion, as a lawyer, of the criticism of Mr. Hlggins vote on the Furnaceville matter, and was In a position to say that all such criticism was without basis. OHIO TO GIVE HIM RECORD VOTE Dick Predicts Roosevelt and Con gressmen 'Will Have Walkover. CINCINNATI. Nov. 5. Congressman Garber, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, tonight Issued tho following statement: "The Socialist vote will approximate 30, 000, mostly from Republicans. The Popu lists will poll less than 2000. The Demo crats will elect Congressmen in not less than six districts, which will be a gain of two In the Ohio delegation, and there Is great expectation that we may add two additional districts to the six, mak ing the total number of Democratic Con gressmen eight. "The Democratic state ticket win run much ahead of other parts of the ticket. Sandles, for Secretary of State, who 13 opposing Laylln for a third term, will run ahead in every county for tho reason that he will receive the support of many Re publicans who are opposed to third terms. "Bryan's remarkable Ohio tour, with the speeches that he made, wiped out any dissatisfaction that may have prevailed against Parker, and the Democrats of Ohio will next Tuesday make the most creditable showing they have made since 1S32." Senator Dick, chairman of the Repub lican State Committee, Issued the follow ing statement: "Indications are that the total vote of Ohio will exceed that for President In 1900, when It reached 1,013,121. From re ports received from every county chair man, we feel warranted in predicting a plurality for Roosevelt greater than Ohio has ever given a Presidential candidate. "The Republicans will without doubt carry 17 of the 21 Congressional districts, and advices from our committeemen throughout the state justify placing In the doubtful column two, if not thgee, of tho remaining four." WEST VIRGINIA OUTLOOK GOOD Republicans Are Much More Confi dent Than the Democrats. PARKERSBURG. W. Va,, Nov. 5. The West- "Virginia campaign has been the most vigorous for many years. The Re publicans "Seem more- confident than the Democrats of carrying the state for the National ticket, but tho Democrats show greater hopefulness on the state Issues. The outlook for Congressmen Is mixed. The. Democrats concede that two of the districts are hopelessly Republican, but claim all are safe. .Much Interest centers in the Legisla ture, which win elect a successor to Sen ator Scott, and It is admitted on both sides that there is a possibility of the Democrats fcavlng a majority of that body on joint ballot. NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN. Snatr Gallinger Predict a Plurality of 15,000. CONCORD, N. H Nov. 5.

Republican Chairman Believes Silent Vote. Will Save Roosevelt. BALTIMORE, ifd.. Nov. 5. Democratic State Chairman Vandiver, in a public statement today, said: "Our party Is united as perhaps never before, and that Maryland will give Par ker and Davis 15.000 majority, and we will certainly elect four Congressmen, a gain of two." Republican State Chairman John B. Hanna "admits the. state will be close. "The quiet vote, however," he said, "will carry Maryland for 'Roosevelt, and we will elect four Congressmen, If not the whole six." v WYOMING IS IN LINE.

Many so-called pilo remedies will afford the user slight temiwrary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women especially, after having tried every preparation recommended for the cure of piles, have come to the con clusion that there Is no cure except by an operation. This Is rightfully viewed with dread, because of tho shock to the delicate nervous system of women, and many of those afflicted have resigned themselves to the situation with never a thought that there Is any help in sight for them. We Invite tho attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose address "Is given below. .' "I feel It my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles I am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this, can write tq-Margarct Brady, 055 Whitman street, Cleveland, Ohio." Ten months later she writes: "I am. glad to say that 1 am still perfectly free from Piles, and have not had the slight est trouble since I first used your remedy. I am well known In Cleveland, and "have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure extensively here. I take pleasure In doing so, as It saved me from an operation, which I al ways dreaded and you are assured the remedy can have no firmer advocate than I." Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures, but cures to stay cured. It Is In the form of a suppository; can be applied In the privacy of the hoe direct ly to the parts affected, and. does Its work quickly and painlessly.

The campaign In most of the Kansas counties ended tonight. The canvass for votes will be carried on by the Republican and Demo cratic Central Committees up to the eve of the election In some of the more Im portant points. , The campaign has been peculiar In the little attention paid to National issues. The campaign speakers have touched upon National affairs to some extent, but tljc contest has been fought out on state questions. B. S. Dale, the Democratic nominee for Governor, and B. "YV. Hoch, the Republi can nominee, have both made a thorough canvass of the state. Senator Long has made a speech every night for the past month and .will hold a meeting Monday night. The Democrats have concentrated their efforts on the Legislature and the office of State Treasurer. The Republican nom inee for Treasurer, who is now serving his first term, has been confronted with charges affecting the administration of the affairs of the office, and this has given the Democrats the idea that this office can be won for them. The railroad rate question and the alleged extrava gance of the last Legislature have been urged by the Democrats as reasons for the election of their ticket. The Republi cans urge the record of their party and the strong personality of their candi dates. UTAH CONCEDED TO ROOSEVELT Both Sides Are at Sea as to Strength Anti-Church Party Will Develop. SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5. In Utah, the campaign this year has been marked by a renewal of the old fight against al leged church domination In politics. In the latter days of the campaign, the feel ing engendered by this movement has grown Into bitterness. How much strength will be developed at the polls by the American (anti-church) party is problematical. Both Republican and Dem ocratic leaders confess themselves entire ly at sea. Democrats, while conceding the state will be carried ton Roosevelt, claim their state ticket will be elected because of the movement of disaffected Republicans toward the American party, and that they will also carry the Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator this Winter. Republican State Chairman Spry claims the state for Roosevelt by 15,000, for the state ticket by 5000 arid an overwhelm ing majority in the Legislature. American party leaders- claim they will carry Salt Lake County, and. state their fight will be kept up after tie election, especially in the school board ejections.
