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." '

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." -

TAFTrAND HUGHES TICKET
Combination Believed to Have the
Support of Roosevelt.
- CHICAGO, April 20. 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
