FEARS FEDERAL POWERS
THK BUX1JAX' UKEliUJNIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 29, 1907.
Principal Speaker at Union Club's
First "' Smoker Defends State
Rights In Stirring Address.
Party Leaders
Present.
A solemn warning of the danger of en
croachment by the Federal Government
upon the individual rights of the several
states of the Union was the burden of an.
address made by Judge Lionel R. WeDster
of the County Court at the smoker of
the Union Republican Club last nignt.
Judge Webster made the principal speech
at the gathering and his remarks caused
some of the party leaders present to open
their eyes rather wide. Though no In
vitations had been extended for discus
sion of reconstruction of the party plat
form. Judge Webster boldly assailed all
foes of states' rights who would allow
the Federal authority to encroach upon
them. Judge Webster became the de
fender of the states against the cen
tralization peril.
The pure food law was mentioned as
being one of the signs of this desire on
the part of the Federal Government to
dictate to the states. Judge Webster de
clared that the absence of such a law In
the states was the best evidence that
the measure was neither desired nor
needed.
"The extension of Federal power into
the states ought to be considered serious
ly." said the judge. "Should the Federal
power be strengthened at the expense of
the state? Should Congress be given
authority now delegated to the states?
At present the Federal Government has
the authority the states give it: shall the
states have only such power as the Fed
eral Government Is disposed to give?
"If we centralize the power in the
White House, In the hands of an ag
gressive man, we would have an old
world King. There will be those who
will say this is states' rights, and it
is. It is the one pre-eminent right;
that of self-preservation. I cannot for
myself enter into the Idea of the ag
gression of the Federal Government
into the states. This means a new
kind of government the kind I do not
want." '
Judge Webster also showed he is
not tied hard and fast to Statement
No. 1. He said that the election of Sena
tors by popular vote had been aVom
plished. but it would be remembered
that the election of Senators is rot
the only duty of a Legislature. He
said he would not be bound blindly
to Statement No. 1, If better men were
candidates than those who clamored
for that principle.
Last night s smoker, the first meet
ing of the Union Republican Club
rlnce last Spring, awakened no little
interest. The Selling-Hirsch Hall was
well filled, and the well-known stal
warts of the party were out in force.
John Gill, president, was In the chair.
IVn orchestra played and between
Speeches cigars were distributed.
Max G. Cohen, the secretary, read a
long Ht of letters of regrets from
prominent Republicans who were un
able to attend the opening meeting of
the club. Among them wre messages
from Senator Jonathan Bourne, Senator
C W. Fulton. Stephen A. Lowell. Robert
Kakln, W. R. Ellis, Charles H. Carey,
Willis S. Dunlway, F. W. Mulkey, C.
A. Sehlbrede and G. A. Westgate.
Judge J. B. Magers, president of the
old Beaver Republican Club, which
merged into the Union Club, was the
first speaker. He urged party unity
and said every prominent office in this
state Is now held by Democrats. He
deplored the fact and said every one
should be filled by a Republican.
Judge M. C. George, who has been
ill for the past six months, made his
first public appearance since his con
valesence and was given an ovation.
He spoke briefly and said the Issues
of the next campaign are vital ones
and must be handled with ability,
R. B. Slnnott was called upon by
Chairman Gill.
"""A Democrat is never a Democrat
when he is running for office," he
said. "He is a Democrat during the
remainder of the year but when he is
alter sometning, ne Decomes a 'non
partisan.'" George S. Shepherd spoke humorously
on the non-partisan.
"One of the ablest men in Oregon was
suddenly called from the bench the other
day." said he. "and he had to leave an
active life. When I walked Into his
court a few days ago I found one of the
pnimlnent non-partisans filling his posi
tion. There are no longer any Demo
crats. They have left off that title and
Jisve adopted the more promising title of
r on-partisan."
J; D. Lee said the coming election will
ie the most Important since 1892 and
mrged the need for a sweeping Republican
Srictory.
Marlon F. Gibson, ex-congressman from
riiio, was Introduced and spoke briefly,
encouraging the club to work for party
success. ,
A feature of the meeting was the first
public rendition of a new musical com
position, entitled "Roses of Portland," by
J'rofessor John H. Everest.

Or., Sept. 28. (Special.) Fred Moullen

old miner's cabin. During the night a
mountain rat raised a disturbance on a
shelf in a corner of the room and Moul
len emptied his revolver In the direction
of the varraant, knocking him to the
floor where he was killed by Moullen's
flog. When they awoke the next mor
ning the young men found that several
of the shots had passed within a few
Inches of a large 'box of dynamite that
was sitting on the shelf.
