In the hands of a regularly Incorporated
bank can go to bed at night and waks up
in the morning with the assurance that his
money is still safe. Many of you who are
present here tonight probably wish that
such a system had been in nse last FalL
and many a poor man In Eastern Oregon
wishes so now. for such failure, as that of
a few days ago will not affect the depositor
and will render It Impossible for such a
condition again to occur, because almost
every banker In the State of Oregon waa
aware of the condition of that bank over
one year ago. Under the bank guaranty
system this could not have happened.
In conclusion Senator Gearin admon
ished each and every person present
to go forth and endeavor by rightful
argument to persuade his neighbor to
vote on next Tuesday for William
Jennings Bryan. He was cheered en
thusiastically as he resumed his seat,
and Mr. McAllister.-who was next in
troduced, was also well received. He
confined hla remarks to the tariff re
vision, and cited numerous authorities
to back up his contentions.

. There is a difference of 24.625 In the
Ptimftte by Secretary McArthur. for
the Republicans, and Secretary Ryan,
for the Democrats, of the vote, for Taft
and Bryan In Oregon. Secretary Mc
Arthur, of the Republican organisation,
feels confident the state will jrlve Taft
and Sherman 22.675. This estimate,
by the way. does not Include Clatsop
Cminty. which was Inadvertently
omitted from the list of counties. Sec
retary MrArthur was out of the city
yesterday and his estimate could not
be obtained for Clatsop County, which
should give the Republican nominees
a plurality of at least inn.. Secretary
McArthur predicts that Taft will carry
every county in the state by plurali
ties ranging from 100 In a half dozen
counties, to snoo in Multnomah.
Secretary Ryan evidently computed
the result with a different pencil. He
has compiled an array of figures which
Mvi that Bryan will have a lead of
2"50 over Taft when the vote Is com
pleted In thls,state. In his estimate.
Secretary Ryan does not Include Iane
County. For comparative! purposes

Propos-ed by Bryan.
Democratic speakers on behalf of
Bryan and Kern held forth before an
audience of enthusiastic people at
the Armory last night, and sounded the
praises of the Nebraskan In no measured
terms, while at the same time they be
rated the policies of the Republican party
and the candidacy of William H. Taft.
Rx-l'nlted Slates Senator John M.
Geartn was the principal speaker of the
evening, and from the moment he was
Introduced by Mayor Harry Lane to the'
very last word of his speenh lie was lis
tened to eagerly and applauded enthusi
astically.' Senator Gearln was followed by Fl S.
J McAllister, who confined his remarks
principally to the ubrct of tarifT re
vision, but as the hour was late when
Lis predecor concluded he curtailed hi
remarks to a certain extent.
Senator Gearln dwelt upon the policies
advocated by the Iemocratic party of
I'M and the policies of today. He set
f.irth the claim tfiat practically all of
the principal rlanks of the Republican
platform of 1 have been borrowed from
democratic platforms and policies of N
years standing. The speaker also went
n to explain the Democratic plank ad
vocating bank guaranty and on this sub
ject he was frequently Interrupted by
dtmonstratlons of approval.
The meetlna- was called to order by
George H. Thomas, state central commit
teeman, who Introduced Mayor Lane a
the chairman of the evening. Mayor
Ijine announced that he wa not present
to deliver a speech, but that he deelred
1o caution all to listen carefully to all
that the speakers would have to say on
the important Leues of the campaign. He
then Introduced ex-l'nlted States Senator
John M. Geartn. who said in part:
We are fathered here this evening t
listen to a dirut.n of the Issues of a
Presidential rampalptn. the merits of which
are to be decided within the next few days
It was onlv a lew .hort week, ago that I

it Is not as a request to break awar from

yourseles to revolt sgalnst the corrupt
prsrtues of the party now In control of

hsd undisputed control of ths Government
machinery for the past 12 years. It has
hsd the Presidency, the Senate and the
House, and what baa It accomplished ? The
Republican party has spe.led failure In al
that period, and all of the Republican cam
paign orators and sreilhlnders hart totally
ignored the Issues of the campaign in their
efforts to belittle Mr. Fryan. and to explain
the apology of a platform on which Mr.
Taft Is being sent Into the White House at
the behest of Theodore Roosevelt.
The Republican platform died when it
was born at Chicago, and ever, since that
time no Republican orator has dared ven
ture to uphold anvthlng the defunct set
cf principles contained, instead they laugh
at you and attempt to tell you that the
democratic advocacy of bank guaranty is
loo.i.h i lnipossiMe. is unconstitutional, is

Testerday was cleaning-up day at Re

Taft and Sherman campaign buttons, were
disposed of readily. Word was allowed
to go out that at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon every lad who called at -headquarters
In the Chamber of Commerce build
ing should receive a button. The result
was that at the appointed hour 150 young
A,merlcans were in line and every one of
them was waited on. The programme
was repeated at Intervals duriffg the after
noon with the result that fully 6"0 boys
were cared for and probably 1000 left-,

GOLDENDALE. Wash.. Oct. 31.
Special.) At a boosters' rally here' to
day Goldendale business men pledged
J3500 for a publicity campaign. Tom
Richardson, of Portland, delivered a
35-mlnute talk, and It Is now calculated
that his words cost this community $100

The whole countyside gathered at
the Goldendale Opera House this after
noon to listen to Mr. Richardson, H.
M. Adams, general freight and passen

the publicity campaign was aroused.
H. M. Fraxler. president of the Klick

introduced the visitors to the audience.
Both Mr. Adams and Mr. Chapman
told of the advantages that follow a
community by advertising, and then
Mr. Richardson followed with his ap

The money will be spent wholly in
the Interests of this section of Wash

Secretary McArthur Places Oregon's
Plurality for Ohioan at 22,575.
Returns to Be Bulletined at
Republican Headquarters.
During the campaign which closed in
this state last night, there waa not a
'single city or town nf any size, not exe
cepttng those of the interior, in which a
public meeting was not held under the
auspices of one of the two old parties.
The fact that very little enthusiasm was
manifested on the part of the voters served
only to move the Republican organization
to greater activity while the Democrats
conducted probably the most vigorous
campaign they have directed during any
Presidential election.
C. N. McArthur, secretary of the Re-'
publican State Central Committee, reports
that the total expense to that party for
the campaign was about M50O. The Demo
crats, however, have made oath that the
total of their campaign subscriptions
reached only I1M2.50 of which there yes
terday remained an unexpended balance
of i.To.96. 31235.54 having been paid out for
stamps, telephone bills and various other
Items of expense connected with a politi
cal campaign. John B. Ryan, secretary
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, yesterday prepared a sworn state
ment setting forth the foregoing figures
as representing the actual receipts and
disbursements for the Bryan campaign in
this state.
Large Democratic Subscribers.
According to the statement of Secretary
Ryan, the largest individual subscriber
to the Bryan campaign fund in the state
was J. O. Booth, of Grants Pass, who gave
$100. Mr. Booth was one of the delegates
from this state to the National conven
tion at Denver last July. The next largest
subscription was sent in by J. F. Wood,
of Condon, the amount being 4.50. R. H.
Coshow. a merchant at Hood River, holds
third place, having forwarded $70 (p the
state headquarters. The following gave
$50 each: Richard Montague. W. F. Jack
son. D. M. Watson. R. H. Thompson. Jr..
J. G. Van Orsdel. of Polk County, and J.
K. Weatherford. of Albany.
Since the active campaign "was started
by the Republican State Central Com
mittee more than four tons of literature
have been distributed throughout the
various counties of the state. The com
mittee has also distributed 100,000 Taft
buttons and 75.0m) lithographs of Taft and
Sherman. Every precinct In- the state
has been covered with literature, buttons,
lithographs, etc .
Over 100 Speeches Made.
Since the campaign opened more than
100 speeches have been delivered under
the auspices of the State Central Com
mittee. Among those who have spoken
are- R. R. Butler, C. W. Fulton. H. M.
Cake J D. Lee, Wallace McCamant,
Stephen A. Lowell. Henry M. McKinney.
M. C. George, George F. Rodgers. W. R.
Ellis, W. A. Williams. L. D. Mahone, J.
E Major. A. W. Lafferty. T. J. Cleeton.
George H. Brown. L. R. Webster. F. A.
K. Stelwer, Charles J. McDonald and
Grant B. Dlmlck. .
Besides these the following men from
outside of the state have spoken under
the auspices of the State Central Com
mittee: Senator Albert J. Beveridge. of
Indiana; Congressman William E. Hum
phrey, of Seattle, and Judge ill H.
Thompson, of Seattle.
Almost without exception the meetings
have been attended by large and enthu
siastic crowds and the speeches have all
been of a high order.
The campaign has been one of the
cheapest ever carried on in Oregon, as
very little money has been available. Less
than $4500 has been expended by the State
Central Committee during the entire cam
paign. Secretary McArthur states that
an accurate account of all expenditures
has been kept and that a complete re-

side of Third street, between Stark and

on a. large blackboard In the reception
room at the headquarters. Numerous
reports will be received from the dif
ferent counties in Oregon, and a spe
cial wire connected with the Western
Union Telegraph Company's main of
fice will transmit all political news
from the East. Inasmuch as , the elec
tion of New York will be over three
hours before the polls close here, it is
thought that a definite idea as to the
general result in that state as well as
in the "states of the Middle West, can
be obtained by midnight.
Prophesies 22,5 76 for Taft.
In discussing the situation yesterday
Secretary McArthur said:
"There is absolutely no doubt . about
the outcome of the Presidential election
as tor as the State of Oregon is con
cerned. This talk from the Democrats
about Oregon being in the doubtful
column is really amusing. The Repub
lican electoral ticket will carry the
state by a majority ranging from 20.000
to 25,000. I have made a careful can
vass of the situation, after seeking the
advice of prominent Republicans In
every county in the state, and have
made an estimate which shows that
Taft and Sherman will have a plurality
of 22,575 votes in the state.
"I have been very conservative in
preparing this estimate and would not
be surprised to see the figures go even
higher. Unless the vote cast is a very
light one, the majority should be up
wards of 20,000. My estimate has
caused a lot of righteous indignation
among the Democrats, but It waa not
prepared with a view of pleasing our
Democratic brethren. The estimate was
asked for by local newspapers 'and H
Is a truthful sortrayal of what I be
lieve the outcome will be.
Taft Safe In East.
"I have no fear of Mr. Bryan's elec
tion, for reports that have been coming
to me from Eastern Middle Western
states are most gratifying. The elec
tion of Taft and Sherman seems to be
assured, although the state ticket in a
number of the Republican states, such
as New York and Indiana, Is apparently
in Jeopardy.
"The Oregon1 state central' committee
has done the best possible work under
the circumstances and' has labored
faithfully for the success of the ticket.
It Is a hard task to work up any great
amount of enthusiasm during a Presi
dential campaign, when there are no
local Issues or local elections to stir
things up. In neatly all of: the other
states regular elections will be held
along with the Presidential election,
and I am very glad that Oregon will
hereafter hold her state election In No
vember instead of June."
