Tonight's big rally, which winds up th. campaign in X'matllla founty so far as the Republicans are concerned, was started with an Illuminated parade of nearly four blocks In length, between crowds which lined the streets several deep for about the same distance. Red fire, roinan candles, transparent banners, tooting horns and shouting; marchers served to stir tip more feeling than has been manifested In Pendletou Tor many a day. Above all the din and all along the line, however, could be heard shouts for Bryan. It is estimated that SOO people listened to the speak ing at the opera house, and probably EdO more were turned away. mown GREETS MCAMAXT Many.AVonien Present at Final Rally at Eugene. Kl'ttENK. Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) The Republican National campaign In Iane County was brought -to a close here tonight by the address of Wallace McCamant. of Portland, who spoke to a crowded house at the County Court house. Mr. McCamant was Intro duced by Helmus Thompson, president of the Lincoln Republican Club, and the speaker was well received from the opening to the close of his address. The audience this evening contained more women than have attended any polit ical meeting of the campaign. The speaker reviewed carefully the records of the two great political candidates and the platforms which they have sub mitted to the people of the United State. The strong point of the dis cussion was the great accomplishments of the Republican party during- the past few years and the reasons why this success would be added to in the event of the. election of Taft and Sher man. The interest in the campaign here on the part of the Republicans has greatly increased since speakers were sent into the field, and party leaders declare that the Republican majority In Lane will be considerably over what was recently estimated, some claiming that the ticket will have over a thou sand majority here. All. Republican speakers who have come here have been greeted with full houses. TAFT MAKES HOT FINISH (Continued from First Page on his special train for Buffalo, where lie will spend Sunday with Mrs. Taft. ."Mr. Bryan has always won in Au gust and September." said Mr. Taft In one of hia speeches today. "This grows out of the character of the policies he advocates.; They are always plausible, they are always useful for the first two months, on the stump, and then the jiower of logical analysis that the American voters bring to- bear in the long educational campaign that pre cedes a. Presidential election, scatters his policies to the wind, as they ought to be scattered. It does not happen by accident.' It happens because of the character of the man and the character of the platform and principles advo cated by the Democratic party. Only Motive Is Curiosity. 'I cannot. conceive how wage-earners or business men that understand the dif ference between the two parties 'as V the tariff can vote for Mr. Bryan .undeh the circumstances. ' Of ' course, they vote for him on the theory that he could not Vlo any harm, that he would have a BVpubHran Senate and so he could not do anything, and we would satisfy our cur loity In knowing what he would do when he f Into the White House, toward which he has been struggling so many years'. "But It ts not mlse to make the error of supposing that the President of the I'nited States has not an enormous In fluenie in respect to the business inter ests of the country, even without regard to hts power over legislation and over the Congress. ,Beftr reviewing the parade tonight. y(r.

I want to pay tfn-Jmnny. to the gratitude that every Republican In the country owes to the Aepubitcans of Pennsylvania. because they ko ahead voting the Re publican ticket without any hope of reward except that kind of reward that comes from virtuous practices only." said Mr. Taft. "The country in New York is Just about as Republican as Pennsylvania Is. only when you get down Into New York City the leaven of unrighteousness is introduced in . the shape of Democracy. "My friends, we are going on. I am sincerely hopeful, to a return of the prosperity with which we were blessed for ten years. All we need to do Is to clinch the progress we have made by a Republican victory In November. We would not be so If we were to put Mr. Hvyan into power. Mr. Bryan is a great orator, a leader of men. He Is a man of poor judgment, however, and you cannot afford to put him in the White House." TAKT SPEARS OX LABOR ninshaniton Turns Out Cheering Thousands to Greet Him. BINGHAMTON. X. Y Oct. 31. The big day meeting of W. H. Taft in hia New York State campaign today was htld here. He was escorted through the prin cipal streets and lustily cheered through out. At the Armory Theater an audience of several thousand greeted him with a great demonstration. After being intro duced as the "man who' has done things in distinction to Mr. Bryan with his ora tory." Mr. T.ft, who was In splendid voice, talked for an hour, paying particu lar attention to labor issues.

Y., Oct. 31. William H. Taft arrived here early today and deliv ered a brief address on his closing; tour of the state. Six other speeches were on his schedule for today. After a dem onstration at Rochester tonight, Mr. Taft will proceed to Buffalo, where he will be joined on Sunday by Mrs. Taft. She will accompany him to Youngstown and Cin cinnati, where he closes his campaign. Despite the early hour of Mr. Taft's arrival here, he spoke to a large crowd, and was enthusiastically received. A passageway was made from the Taft car to the platform along the railway sta tion, but the police had a hard time keeping the crowd back, and It took five minutes for Mr. Taft to reach the plat form, which was only 60 feet from the car. because of handshaking he was com pelled to do on the w-ny. .He was intro duced by Representative J. Sloat Fassett. After discussing the panic of last fall, Mr. Taft concluded: "The men who control capital In Eu rope and this country are the men who will insist on havmar- a certain business future, and ifnless they Invest their cash the wheels will not go round, new con struction will not begin and the depres sion will continue for four years. Then, my friends, I don't urge you to vote the Republican ticket. I only point to the fact, and I know by looking Into your eyes and seeing your long heads what the result is going to be." SENDS MESSAGE TO HIS HOME Taft Expresses Confidence and Asks Bis Cincinnati Vote. CINCINNATI. Oct. 31. That the thoughts of W. H. 1'aft, practically on the eve of election, turned toward Cincinnati, his home, Is shown in the following message sent from Elmira. N. Y.. to his friends here through the Times-Star: "The Issues of the campaign are now understood by the American, people and the lines are drawn. I have no fear,-no doubt, as to the outcome. I believe vic tory to be assured. I ,hope that supporters of Republican doctrines and policies will get Out a full and early vote, and that my Cincinnati friends and neighbors, whose encouragement has been a source of pride and inspiration, will personally contribute toward that end." Officeholders Get Busy. PARKERSBURG. XV. Va., Oct. 31. George I. Neal. vice-chairman of the Iemocratic State Committee and active head of the Democratic campaign In this etate, sent a telegram today to President Roosevelt complaining of the activity of certain officeholders In the campaign. The telegram follows: "The Federal otf iceholders In this state are making your position of not permit ting pernicious political activity by Fed eral officers the laughing stock of the state. I especially refer to Frank H. Tyree. Marshal for the Southern Dis trict; Charles D. Elliott. Marshal for the Northern District, and George M. Bow ers. Fish Commissioner. Their pernicious political activity in this campaign la of common notoriety. We are ready with positive proof, at any time, of their guilt-" Pollinan Leads in Baker Fight. BAKER CITY, Or.. Oct. 31. One of the hottest city campaigns that has been experienced here for years Is being waged over the election to be held Monday, at which time a Mayor, four Councilmen and a police judge will be elected. William Pollman. Citizens' candidate, seems to have the best of his opponent, F. M. Saxton. at the present trme and bets are freely offered with odds 2 to 1 on Pollman. I now Eugene does not wait to see how tilings are going to "turn up," instead she "turns up something." This fund is contributed to by between 400 and 5t)0 citizens of Eugene who have the definite conviction that this is the best city of Its size to be -found any where, and If they can find any way to make it better they are going to do so. The contributors belong to all classes, the business men. bankers,. professional men, university professors, ministers, con tractors and day laborers giving in the same Fplrit the amounts they felt that they should give to build up this city of homes and . country, .of opportunities. f 15,000 Easier Than $10,000. The Jlo.OrtO promotion fund, was more easily raised than the 110.000 fund of last year. There is a reason for this. The people have seen tangible proof of the value of promotion work, systema tically conducted, and again, the citizens of Eugene are pulling together for what they .believe to be the best city in the best county In the best state of the Union. The hundreds of people who have come here within the past year or Two to make this their home, feel the same way about it, and Eugene Is bidding for the best immigration from other sec tions. " She will not strive for numbers, but she will during the coming year try to get for Lane County her share of the most desirable people who come to the Pacific slope. The fund represents a contribution of about J1.50 per capita for every man, woman and child In ?ugene. It rep resents a contribution of $15 for every voter who has his permanent home here. And as compared with what other cities have done and ra doing this is prob ably the biggest promotion fund, per capita, ever raised by any city In the United States for such a purpose. The estimate Is based upon a population of 10,000 people, which Eugene doubtless has at this time. If she has 10,000 people now, the population has Increased about 30 per cent during "the past two years. If the population is less the amount raised per capita is so much greater. Cash Already In Sight. Of this fund of J15.000 over J13.700 had been signed up yesterday at noon when the committee of business men met at luncheon to report progress and the other $1,100 Is ready as soon as the papers can be circulated. A number of subscribers are out of the city, and there can be no doubt that the full amount will more than be secured within the next few days. The money will be used in general ad vertising and promotion work and civic improvements, for the city and county. BOYS TERRORIZE ASTORIA Three Lads Confess to Thefts and Implicate Many Others. ASTORIA. Or.. Oct: SI. (Special.) A gang of upper town boys, ranging from ft to 12 years old. have been terrorizing that portion of the city for some time. While they have been committing petty thefts' and doing ' small damage, the police have found it difficult to apprehend them. On last Tuesday night a scow was broken into during the" absence' of the owner and a $10 gold pece stolen. Sus picion turned on John Avila. John Flink and Tony Stanovlch, the first being 9, the second 31 and the third 12 years old. They were placed under arrest and after being locked up In the City Jail acknowl edged their guilt, told how the scow was broken Into and how the money was divided among them. After they started to talk they told of other boys engaged In the same business and gave a list of those who carried re volvers at all times. PREDICTS CLEAN SWEEP Bingham Says . Republicans Will Elect Entire Tlcket'ln Clark. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) A. J. Biftham. chairman of the Re publican County Central Committee, sums up the political situation In Clark County as follows: The total vote In the county will be about 3000 and Taft's majority will be more than 1200, possibly 1500. J,avlng out of the question those few Republican can didates who have no- opposition, the balance of the Republican county ticket will be elected by majorities ranging from 1000 up, with the exception of two candi dates. In the case of these two there will be some scratching. Cosgrove, for Gov ernor, will run parallel with the head' of the ticket. "The Republican organization in the county is in-excellent condition and each of the 27 precinct men have done effective work. We have held meetings this week at practically every schoolhouse and hall in the county. These meetings have been well attended and much has been accom plished by them for Republicanism. "We will wind up the campaign with a rousing meeting Monday - evening, at Hockinson, the speakers to Te James P. Stopleton, W. W. Sparks, E. M. Rands and P.. J. Kirwin." GIVES TAFT SAFE LEAD (Continued From First Poit ) whether the peculiar announcement by John D. Rockefeller, that he would sup port Taft can be turned by the Demo crats Into an argument which ma'y swing some close states back to Bryan. The Democratic campaigners are making use of the incident with all the avidity with which a last card is seized upon in the closing hours of the campaign. So far as the New York Governorship Is concerned figures and comment printed elsewhere In the forecast show that Mr. Hughes has a small lead; that the tide seems to continue to run in his favor, but that the contest Is so close that at the last moment something . might develop which wo-Jld change the conditions. There appears to be some element of doubt in Ohio. but the latest testa ments from that state say that It will give Mr. Taft a plurality of more than 30.000. while Harris, Republican, will probably be elected Governor. The Republican managers have been in a desperate frame of mind over Mr. Taft's home state, because of the pe culiar conditions existing there and be cause the expected large drop In the plurality from 255,000 for Mr. Roosevelt In 1904 allowed no reliable basts for calculation. Illinois and Michigan Safe. Michigan will go for Taft. but the state fight Is very close. What is re garded bb'il . conservative estimate places the plurality of Governor War ner at 20.000. Some congressional losses In Michigan probably will be sustained by the Republicans. The Republicans seem to be winning everything in Illinois. Taft's plurality in this state Is likely to be enormous. Mr. Chafln, the Prohibition candidate for President, who is very unfriendly to Mr. Taft. says the Republican National ticket will have at least 100,000 excess votes. There has been a ripping fight over the Governorship, but apparently Governor Deneen, Republican, is to win over Adlal K. Stevenson, Democrat, by approximate ly 100.000. The Republican state commit tee claims Deneen's election by 180,000 plurality, while the Democratic state com mittee asserts that Stevenson will win by 30,000. The contest in Nebraska has been car ried on with desperate energy, but the state seems to be Isolated, a sort of Dem ocratic island surrounded by. a Republican sea." It will probably go for Bryan by from 8000 to 10.000 plurality. Yet Iowa, on the east, Kansas and Colorado, on the south, Wyoming, on the west, and South Dakota, on the north, will all be for Taft. ' May Divert Radicals. . It has taken political observers some time to get theiir bearings in 'Colorado, but It Is now said that the state will go for Taft by 10.000. The state ticket iB'in douht, as is the Legislature, .which will elect a successor to Senator Henry "M. Teller. Whether the statement of John D. Rockefeller that he would vote for Taft will drive any of the labor and rad ical vote thus secured back, to Bryan re mains to be seen. New Hampshire Fights State Issues. CONCORD, N. H.. Oct. 31. The cam paign in New Hampshire is closing with all parties active and the man agers declare one of the heaviest votes In New Hampshire's history will be cast Tuesday.

William Reno, Under Arrest at Che halis, Declares Wounded Man .Pulled Trigger In Scuffle. CHEHALIS. Wash., Oct 31 (Spe cial.) Last night William Reno shot James Goodell In the face, near the nose, the bullet lodging In Goodell's brain. The shooting occurred while the men were driving to Ethel, where they had been working at Keller's saw mill. Reno, Goodell, Jesse Moore and Bob Waunch were In the : rig. . The men had been working, at the mill and were paid off yesterday. They came to Chfchalls and Reno and Good ell filled up on liquor. As they were driving along the public road a short distance beyojid Forest, about 10 miles southeast of town, Goodell is alleged to have pulled a pistol from his pocket and remarked that anyone who at tempted to touch him would be shot. Afterward, according to Moore, Good ell pointed the gun backward and fired two shots, whereat Reno, who. was in the back of the rig with Waunch, Jumped up. grappled the gun from Goodell and fired It. An examination showed that Good ell was shot. The rig was driven back to Forest and later Goodell was brought Into town and Dr. Daw and Deputy Sheriff King summoned. Reno went to the home of I W. Kayldr, beyond Forest, and gave him self up. He was hrought in this morn-, ing. His story Is that he and Waunch were drinking in the back of the rig. That he and Goodell had had trouble a short time ago, and that for a week they had not spoken. Goodell suddenly began shooting and making threats to the effect that he would kill" Reno. Reno grappled Goodell's gun, and dur ing the scuffle, Reno says, it was pulled off by Goodell's own finger. The two men are about 30 years old. They were hired at a camp near town here about three weeks ago. Goodell is at the St. Helens Hospital In Chehalls.
