9 TOTS SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 1, 1908. CONGESTION MAY SHUT OUT VOTES Unless Employers Grant Half Holiday, Hundreds Will Be . Kept From Voting. PRECINCT LIMIT IS 300 Many Districts Have More Than Double Legal Number of Voters Registered. However Tolls May Keep Open Very Late. Hundreds of registered voters In Mult nomah County will be kept from voting In the Presidential election Tuesday un less business houses, factories, mills and other places where men are hired declare a half-holiday for their voting employes on election day. That this unusual condition exists was discovered yesterday by County Clerk Fields when the total number of voters in each precinct waa gone over with a view to estimating the time that would be re quired by election clerks to receive the ballots. It was found that in many of the larger districts the voters could not possibly be handled unless they began ap pearing at the polls early In the day. As the heaviest voting hour for worktngmen Is between the hours of t and 7 P. M.. It was estimated that the rush could not possibly he met. This applies particularly to outlying districts on the East Side. Lawful Limit Exceeded. While the law. as It now stands, pro vides that voting precincts must be di vided so that there will be not to exceed 300 voters in each one. it Is found that in several precincts the total number of vot ers approaches the point. This has been caused by the rapid growth of the districts affected. The present segregation was mart Octo ber 7. 1807. Tlie basis taken was the vote of IJos. But the registration for the Presi dential election has Increased until no less than a dozen precincts have entirely outgrown their legal proportions. The greatest Increases are noted in Fellwood. Northeast Portland. St. John, "Woodstock. Anabel. South Mount Tabor and Arleta. Precinct . In South Jiount Tabor, has 73 registered voters, whereas it should have but 30. Most of these men are employes, and the congestion that will be sure to follow here in case these men are not given a hslf-hollday is apparent. Precinct 84. in 'Northeast Portland, has a registered total of 67S votes, and a large percent age of these men also sre workmen, so that a similar congestion Is bound to occur here. ..... Where Congestion Occurs. In Pellwood. Precinct 42 has 531 reg istered voters and Precinct 43 has 338. Precincts 80 to S. Northeast Portland, have a total of 4422 voters, whereas the legal allowance Is 3000. In St. John, Precinct 0 htss 548 voters and Pre cinct 1 410 voters. Precinct 94. Wood stock, has Stl; Precinct 95. Anabel, 4.18; Precinct . South Mount Tabor. 73; Precinct 7. Arleta. 500. In delivering a ballot to the -voter, the election clerk must write out the name and address, tear the stub off the Fallot and hand It to the voter, this after the voter's right to vote has been duly verified. The ballot must then be made out. tendered, accepted and placed In the ballot-box. Mr. Fields finds that It would take the force at any polling place all day. working steadily, to handle 675 voters. And that number is shown in Precinct 84. where the greater number of voteis will congest between the hours of 5 and 7 P. M.. unless the afternoon is given them by their em ployers. Polls May Keep Open Till Late. "Never before have so many voters appeared in precincts." said Mr. Fields yesterday, in discussing the situation. "Everyone, seems to want to vote for President, and I believe it would be grossly wrong to keep them from It." One solution offered Is that the polls be kept open until all voters have had .a chance to vote, provided they are In line when the hour arrives for closing the polls. Mr. Fields says this means will be resorted to If necessary. "But it has one drawback." he said. "Men will not stand In line until late at night for the privilege of voting. Many of them are tired out after a hard day's work. They will wait an hour or so, perhaps, but no longer. To accommo date a long line of voters after 7 o'clock might continue the hours until near midnight." Should Be Counted at Midnight. If the polls close Tuesdsy at 7 P. M. as it is planned they shall do. except In the case of emergency In the larger precincts, the votes should all be count ed before midnight, according to a test made in ballot-counting yesterday af ternoon by Mr. Fields. County Auditor Brsndes and reputy County Clerk Schneider. Two hundred and seventeen ballots were taken from a straw con test which Charles Nebergall. the blind cigar dealer at the Courthouse, has been conducting for several days past. It took just 40 minutes to take the eathe and count the votes, and 20 min utes more to sign the tally-sheets and place them in envelopes. Only average speed was used, and from the progress msde It is estimated that the returns in even the largest precincts should be ready by midnight. Taft had a good majority in this count. Of the 217 ballots cast, he got 117. Bryan got 70. Chafln 8. Debs 7. Hlsgen 2- All the rest were either blank or defective. TRUST IN FEAR OF BRYAN Candidate Tells Hooslers Why Cor porations Fight Him. WINCHESTER, lnd.. Oct. 31. After Is suing a formal appeal to the people of the United fttates for support of the Demo cratic National ticket. W. J. Bryan, at this place today, renewed his attacks on John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie because of the strictures upon him in con nection with their announcement that they favored the election of Mr. Taft. To a great crowd assembled in Franklin street. Democracy's leader, in discussing the trusts, said: "Every trust magnate Is supporting Taft. the Republican candidate, and yes terday morning Mr. Rockefeller came out and asked for his election. Why does Rockefeller stand for Taft? Because Taft stands for Rockefeller. Why does Car negie stand for Taft? Because Taft standi for Carnegis. Why does the Biscuit Com pany stand for Taft? Because he stands for their trust. Why does the tobacco company atand for him ? Because he stands for thera. "These trusts are right in supporting him. They would not be grateful If they did not. They would not have much sense If they did not. for they know that If I am elected, the spike will be put on the big criminals as well as the little ones and therefore they are for him. I am glad to have the trust magnates against me. but I could have had them on my aide had I been willing to sell the Amer ican people to the trust magnates. I have them against me because I prefer to fight for things that the people need and I am fighting for them not merely because think a trust hurts this generation, but I have children and I have grandchildren, and I would be ashamed to look them In the face if I waa willing to barter away the liberties of the people and sell this Nation into industrial bondage to a few great trust magnates. And that is what la be Ing done In thie country today. There might have been, some excuse in yesrs past for a man to vote the Republican ticket because he did not know what was going on. The Republican leaders' have been working both sides of the road. They have been working reform out "here with promises, but they have been caught with the goods on this year, and any man who votes the Republican ticket now, votes it knowing that the party has betrayed the masses and will do It again If It Is in trusted with power." FINAL GUN OF (KN LOWELL SPEAKS AT SPIRITED RALLY FOR TAFT. Pendleton Lawyer Advises Against Turning White House Into an Experiment Station. The local Republican campaign was con eluded last night at a large and enthu siastic rally In Selling-Hlrscb Hall, when Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, deliv ered an eloquent address in behalf of Mr. Taft's candidacy. J. D. Lee. candidate for Presidential elector, also delivered a short address. Judge I R. Webster, who was scheduled to speak at last night's meeting, was unable to be present. Pre ceding the speakers sn orchestra rendered a number of patriotic selections. D. O. Carl's tenor solo. "My Own United S:ates." earned the appreciation of the audience. Judge Lowell began his remarks with a review of Mr. Bryan s career as a party leader and an analysis of the various measures which have been advocated by him. The sneaker characterized the Democratic candidate as the apostle of economic dreams and the advance agent of political delirium tremens, and asked his hearers if the Nation could afford to transform the White House into a poli tical experiment station. His action as a Congressman was referred to in an vocacv of free tra.de. In connection with this the unfortunate period of 1833 was reviewed as the logical result of measures advocated by Mr. Bryan previously. The various measures formerly advo cated by Mr. Bryan, free silver, antt-lm periallsm. Federal ownership of railroads. were referred to as evidences or nis un settled Judgment regarding great econo mic ouest ons. In speaking or tne guaran tv of bank deposits. Judge Lowell said it was a measure that had been tried but twice in all history, and that no man was wise enough or far-seeing enough to decide whether or not in the experiment It will be found right or wrong, but he believed it was time enough for the great republic to adopt It after older states than Oklahoma have tried It. "In years gone by." said Judge Lowell. "I have been impressed with the eloquence and the sincerity of Mr. Bryan. He has called himself the rep resentative of the common people ana has denounced the iniquity of the boss and political trickster, men like Mur ohv. of Tammany Hall. 1 could not but admire the man who said I would rather nevr be President than to gain the office through the aid of a man like Roger Sullivan, of Illinois." But the Bryan of 1908 is not the Bryan of 1896 and 1900. With the coming years and increasing wealth has come about a change of heart. He has made peace with every man of whatever sort that he formerly scornfully opposed, dining with the very men against whom he hurled the shafts of ridicule. In that company were Wall atreet financiers. August Belmont and his kind. Behind all this is the Standard Oil Company. "Against the candidacy or Mr. Bryan I would urge that of Mr. Taft, who for 27 years has served the American peo ple, one of the greatest administrators of the age. Does he stand upon any theories? No. His whole lite renecis the Judgment and intelligence of every thinking man 1n the Republic. He has served with distinction in every sta tion he has been placed. He looms large in the annals of Ohio and this great Nr.tion in its mission to civilization. "As a Judge he had few equals, as the Governor -General of the Philippines his administration, his work showed the highest elements of statesmanship. As Secretary of War, his powers aa an organizer have again been abundantly proved. "Judge Taft Is In a position now. lr elected next Tuesday, to take the Presi dent's office on March 4 next better eouiDoed to exercise Its functions than any man in our history. A few Presi dents have achieved greatness through experience. Mr. Taft understands bet ter than any other man, perhaps, the problems of the Nation. He Is known personally to the statesmen of Japan and China, with whom we have many delicate questions of diplomacy to con sider. He knows the men who occupy the cabinet chambers of Europe. Next to Washington and Lincoln, he will loom in the history of our republic." M A Poor Relation," at the Heillg BY JOHN J. HARRISON. THEATER-GOERS of a few years ago will recall a pathetic character Sol Smith Russell made of the "Poor Relation," and how the comedy element caused a smile through the tears. Russell. Raymond and the master. Mansfleld. possessed the unusual talent to bring out comedy "spots" in pathetic plays that mediocre actors run near the danger mark in an endeavor to follow; for nine times out of ten the whole per formance Is made absurd, either through lame Imitation by the star aspirant or unintelligent support. Sol Smith Russell imitated nobody; he was a creator. He never gave him self prominence by poor support, and the result was In the case of "A Poo Relation.' he maintained his standing z a superior comedian. The play la one of the things on the stage that to do tt Justice requires not only peculiar talent in every member of the company, including, of course, the leading part, but there must be careful and painstaking preparation in order to make it go. Salem papers say that at the opening of the theatrical season in that city Asa Lee Wlllard and his company gave a creditable presentation of "A Poor Re lation." They opened a two nights" en gagement at the Heillg last night.

At every street cor ner, at the entrance of every building and store waa stationed a detachment of crusaders, and if there is a man in Poitland who ran the gauntlet without giving a dime he must have been deaf, dumb, blind or broke. Few Resist Appeals. Business houses, stores, shops, of fices, restaurants swid residences were invaded, and "Buy a tag?" was urged so sweetly and so persistently that the National debt could surely be wiped out with a similar National crusade. Ma ture matrona and pretty girls stood on the streets, approached strangers, held up friends and sold tags. From early morning until a late hour last night they continued the harvest of dimes. During the afternoon two little daughters of W. B. Steele, a contractor, volunteered their services. In two hours they gathered the sum of $13.90 and proudly took the proceeds to head quarters. At Union Station Policeman R. W. Barter escorted the campaigners through the offices and nearby busi ness houses and a big sum was raised. A youngster from Brooklyn went to headquarters and volunteered his serv ices, so great was his enthusiasm in the campaign. "Funny Man" Gives Lemon. Innumerable Incidents of Interest are related by various members of the cru sading campaign. At First and Wash ington streeta a man gave a lemon to the wqman who asked him to buy a tag, and he thought It was very funny. At Third and Yamhill a man who de clared himself a Socialist said the scheme was a graft, and refused at first to contribute. But when the four women at the corner had finished ex plaining he handed them a quarter. At headquarters many came In per son to contribute, and business houses called by telephone to request that some one be sent to their places. Chief Grltzmacher detailed a special officer to remain on duty there during the day and evening and the officer accom panied the cash to the bank whenever a deposit was sent. Automobiles were provided for the convenience of the va rious committees by Mrs. Adolphe Wolfe. Mrs. D. C. Burns. Mrs. H. W. Corbett, the Oregon Hotel and H. M. Covey. Sixth-and-Alder Brigade. At Sixth and Alder streets were sta tioned Mrs. S. B. Vincent. Mrs. I. N. Lipman, Miss Helen Rosenfeld and Miss Evelyn Rigler. They encountered many Interesting experiences, as did all the other crusaders. "A little newsboy came to me," said one of the Sixth and Alder taggers, and holding 10 cents in his grimy hand said, 'I'll buy a ticket. Can I get a baby for this ticket at the Baby Home? "A pretty young assistant asked a burly chap to buy a tag. and aa he paid his 10 cents, said. 'Youse society girls wouldn't notice a feller like me any other day." and. alas, I am afraid there as much truth in his philosophy. A quiet young man, when I asked him to buy, said, 'I have one, but I hide It, see, here it is. I hide it because no girls ever look at me and so when a pretty girl asked me to buy. you bet I did. But when I bought they quit looking. and I hid the tag. Now, they all run after me." "I approached a dignified gentleman. apparently of means and 50 years of age, who was with his beautiful wife, some years his Junior. "Tea. he said, when I asked him to buy; "tell me, are there any babies about S years old out at the Home old enough to go to other institutions?" I told him how a childless couple had adopted a boy 2 years old. He turned to his wife and said. That is what we want to do; we want to go to the Home and buy a 3-year-old girl, if we can."

At the first annual banquet on October 17. the charter membership roll was closed with a total of 88 signatures. Seated at the banquet were 72 of the 88 members. Hood River, with a population "of 3000 people, believes it has established a unique record in the organization of such a club. All the larger universi ties In the United States, with one or two exceptions are represented in the membership roll. Requirements for membership In the Hood River University Club are the same as demanded by the Univer sity Club of Portland. The four cities In the Pacific Northwest which sup port university clubs are Portland, Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma. E. H. Shepard, editor of Better Fruit, and a successful apple and berry grower here, was the first to start the movement for organization of the Uni versity, and the success he met with, was a surprise to himself and friends. Mr. Shepard was assisted in tne organ ization work by J. E. Hall. The club has already arranged for quarters In one of the several brick structures now being erected in this city. Many of the members of the club are young college men from the East who are owners of apple orchards in Hood River Valley.

PRICES LIKE OIL TRUST Fluctuated Up and Down to Suit Parisian Youngster's Fancy. j PARIS, OcL 31. (Special.) All visi tors to Paris know the little Savoyard boys who prowl about the boulevards and the terraces of the Montmartre cafes at night selling their statuettes. They are sharp little lads, anil known to be quite unscrupulous In the prices they ask for their wares. The other evening one of them offered a plaster statuette for SI. The customer sug gested 5 cents. "Give me 10 cents for it and it's yours," said the boy. "I'll give you S cents," said the customer. "No. 10 cents," said the lad again. But at that moment the statuette fell out of the purchaser's hands and smashed it self to pieces. "Well, now I suppose I must pay you," and the man put 10 cents down. "Ah, no." the boy said. 20 cents is my price." "But a minute ago you said you would take 10 cents for it." "I know I did." said the Savoyard, "but a minute ago you might have re fused to buy, and now that you have broken it you've got to pay for It." He got the 20 cents.
