UNION OF TWO LEADERS (Continued from First Pag I ' men the two greatest men in all the "world. They are American statesmen and patriots in every pulse. One or the other should be the President and pilot of the people In this tremendous time. If It was ever true before in all of our history. It Is true today that these two men. leading opposite fac tions, have on their lips the power to change the face of parties and. to re generate the Republic's life. "One word from Bryan would send Roosevelt omntpoten to the White House. One word from Roosevelt would .lust as surely make Bryan Pres ident and clothe him with power for reform. Roosevelt could elect Bryan almost as easily as Bryan could re elect the President. Never was such power such opportunities and never such responsibility la four American hands before. "If Bryan. fr6m defeat, will not re twlne the laurel upon Roosevelt's con quering brow, then from the great height of victory let Roosevelt reach down to lift the patriotic Bryan up." Clark 'Wants Democrats. It was long after midnight when the vpeechmaking was finished. The two last speakers Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, and ex-Controller Grout, of New Tork opposed Mr Graves' idea that the next President hould ba either W. J. Bryan or Pres ident Roosevelt. ' Congressman Clark's topic was "Democratic Opportunities," and he took advantage of the' occasion to inform the 'banqueters where he stood regarding Mr. Graves' suggestion that under certain conditions It woiiU be Mr. Bryan's duty to nominate Pres ident Roosevelt as the Democratic can didate. "Missouri is for Bryan," . said Mr. Clark, "and I don't see how he can be defeated for "the nomination. What we want is a Democratic candidate, and not a Republican. . There are plenty of men In the Democratic party who could fill the Presidential chair, and I am sure that the time will never be when the Democratic party' will find It necessary' to' go to their opponents for - a man to represent them. If the Democrats cannot find a candidate, I will .find one for them. If my candi date does not suit them, I'll take the nomination myself. Should Mr. Bryan ever attempt. - as suggested by Mr. Graves, to nominate Roosevelt on the Democratic ticket, I. for one, would demand that Bryan be read out. of the party. We want Democrats, not near Democrats." ' ,. Idaho Trials Mentioned. Kx-Controller, -Grout criticised Mr. Roosevelt for his denunciation of Moy- ipiiiipl Richard Olnrr, ex-Secretary of state, Who Attacks President Roosevelt's .Foreign Policy. 1 er and Haywood, the officials of the Western Federation of Miners, who are awaiting trial In Idaho on a charge' of murder. 1 ' -. "When I take issue with President Roosevelt," said Mr. Grout, "I suppose I am filing my application for mem bership in the Ananias Club. I am sor ry to say It, but President Roosevelt has the faculty of Interfering In the business which strictly belongs to oth er people. In the controversies of the past two or three years I am sure it would have been much more in keep ing with the dignity of his office if he had followed the example of his predecessors and remained quiet.";. SALVADOR WILL NOT WITH DRAW ARMY FROM BORDER. Each Party Fears Invasion of Revo lutionists Salvador Renews War tn Honduras. WASHINGTON. April 20. Philip Brown. American Secretary ot the lega tion at Guatemala, who is at Amapala to assist in the peace negotiations, today reported to the State Department by cable that difficulty has arisen over the objection of the Salvadoreans to the Nicaraguan proposition to withdraw the Salvadorean troops from the boundary. Salvador fears that refugees from Salva dor who are really revolutionists would soon cross the border from Hond is and Invade Salvador if the troops v. ore withdrawn. It appears that au agreement to termi nate hostilities actually was reached yes terday, but Its operation was postponed by the refusal of President Figueroa of Salvador to withdraw from the boundary. Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan Minister here, at the Stale Department today pointed out that Nicaragua had precisely the same reasons as Salvador for main taining an armed force an the border, because the withdrawal of the Nicarag uan army might be followed by an up rising in Honduras of adherents of the overthrown President Boailla. CITY CAN HAVE IT Quarters Alone Needed for . Pure Food Laboratory. DEFINITE PROMISE MADE Senator Bourne Told Chamber ot Commerce Showed Apparently Little Interest in Visit of De , partment's Special Agent. ORBQONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 20. Just as soon as Port land offers the Department of Agricul ture suitable quarters for a pure food laboratory, such laboratory will be estab lished there. This positive assurance was today given to Senator Bourne -by the Department of Agriculture officials who have the matter in hand. - . The'Senator has long been Insisting that this laboratory should be located at Port land., and at his request a special agent or representative of the Department was sent to Portland to And accommodations. It was the original Intention of the De partment to have but one laboratory in the Northwest, the chances favoring Se attle: but Senator Bourne finally secured the promise that Portland should have a laboratory of its own. It Is now "up to" the people of Portland to assist the Government In finding suitable quarters. Owing to the crowded condition of the Custom-House, it will be necessary to locate the laboratory in rented quarters. This the Government Is willing to do. but its, special - representative had practically no assistance when recently in Portland. When he was unable to find suitable accommodations he left for Seattle. He reported that Collector Malcolm was ap parently the only man seriously interest ed In having a laboratory established in Portland. .The Chamber of -Commerce, he said, "passed him up" after suggesting that he get the oftices in the Custom-House now occupied by Immigration officials. As the immigration officials object to moving, this auggestlon is utterly im practicable. - In view of the promise lie has secured. Senator Bourne believes it Is now the part of the people of Portland to find quarters for the laboratory. He has done his part here. When s the Government agent, after leaving Portland, went to Seattle, and through the co-operation there given him, soon found suitable quar ters for a food laboratory In that city, the Department ordered its immedi ate establishment. Had Portland bean active, it, too, could have had the labora tory at this ttnte. SALA'ADOR IXVADES HONDURAS War Is ' Renewed and Nicaragua Sends Army Again. PUERTO CORTF.55; April 15. via Mo bile, Ala.. April 20. (Special Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) On Sunday at 5 P. M. the Nicaraguan fleet sailed from Puerto Cortez, In tending to take on boaTd the Nicaragu an force of about 1200 men, which had been landed at Truxlllo. La Cetba, Salada and Coast points. Monday, how ever, the steamer Omotepec 'returned to Puerto Cortez and disembarked about 500 men, and It is understood the entire force received orders to re turn here. The reason for the return is the in vasion by the allied forces of Salvador and President Bonilla, of the Western Departments of Copan. Gracias and In tubucat. It is reported that Santa Rosa, the capital of the Department of Copan, was taken yesterday by these troops, and that forces are marching on Gracias and Ksperenta. The force that captured Santa Rosa is now marching against Santa Barbara, and from there will move toward San Pe dro, hence the Nicaraguan force will be required to defend San Pedro. The result in the western depart ments will depend upon the attitude of the men of Copan, Gracias and In tubucat.r because 75 per cent of the fighting men of Honduras live in those departments. SAYS' SOMEONE IS MISTAKEN Secretary Giltner Thought Labora tory Was Assured Portland. Edmond C. Giltner. secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and J. W. Bailey, State Food and Dairy Commissioner, cannot account for the telegram from Senator Bourne. They think there must be some mistake, for it was generally understood here that the proposed food laboratory was practically assured for Portland. Professor Elton Fulmer. official chem ist at Washington State College, at Pull man, Wash., visited Portland as a mem ber of the National Board of Pure ' Food Commissioners, with a view of securing. If possible, proper quarters for the pro posed . laboratory. Messrs. Giltner ' and Bailey were especially active tn showing Professor Fulmer about the city, and two suitable locations were selected for the laboratory. Whn the Government's rep resentative left the city, he said he should recommend Portland as the most desirable city in the Northwest for the laboratory. It is declared, admitting that either of the buildings selected would be entirely satisfactory. "I certainly am surprised," said Mr. Giltner, "that the Chamber of Commerce sliould be charged with a lack of inter est in the visit of Professor Fulmer, and in the object for which he came. He was courteously received, and we did everything possible towards getting the laboratory. The quarters occupied by the Immigration Bureau in the Customs building were selected by Professor Ful mer as the most preferable accommoda tions we could find. To get these rooms It was necessary to confer with the proper officials at Washington and to de termine if consent would be given to a removal of the Immigration Bureau into rented quarters. This matter was at once taken up. and is still pending. We after wards found rooms in the Worcester block, which Professor Fulmer said would answer the purposes of the labo ratory, If the rooms, in the Customs building could not be secured. The rental of the quarters in the Worcester build ing is about $30 a month less than for the accommodations that are to be had in Seattle. "There must be a mistake. When Pro fessor Fulmer left Portland he expressed Ills complete satisfaction with the arrangements, and assured us that he should recommend that the laboratory be located in Portland." - FALSE RUMOR THAW SICK Friendly Call of Dr. Jclliffe the . - !

A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Taft 'and Hughes. That is the ticket which seems to appeal to the majority of the Adminis tration followers and they point out the fact that the preliminary campaign is practically concentrated in the twotstates of Ohio and New York. In each state the President has been at tacked personally, and In each . Mate he claims the right to ask for personal vin dication through the endorsement of a candidate in sympathy with -ills point of view on governmental matters. The. idea of coupling the Secretary, of War with the Governor ot New York has proved popu lar. Experienced politicians said it would ,be about as strong a combination as could be Imagined. Each ,of the two men would bring force to the ticket and do it too. In. a state more or less uncertain, .according to ordinary political standards. It must .not be understood of course, that President Roosevelt is behind this, but the names of Taft antf Hughes are grouped together so often by 'people who are in the confidence of the President as to, give; the impression that thill "ticket Would meet with his approval to an extra ordinary degree.
