Election Victory Is Celebrated at the
Ma ionic Temple and Predic
tions Made for Contin
ued Success.
Not mlthln recent years has there been
another such representative gathering of
Bepubllcans a, was gathered around the
banquet board last night at the Masonic
TTnple, at the dinner given to celebrate
trio election of Taft and Sherman. Not
. only were representative men of the domi
nant party In Oregon present from Port
land and Multnomah County, but seated
around tt tables were prominent Re
publicans from various sections of the
state. Had the event been planned as a
great love feast, one arranged for the
bringing tog.-ther of all elements of the
Republican party of the state, the as
sembly could not nave oeen moro
resentatlve.
Tho dinner was an Informal function
and while a number of th- speakers whose
names were down on the programme for
set sneeehea were not present, yet those
tnat talked stirred their auditors to the
liirnc.it Ditrh of enthusiasm. It was
l.ve feast with emphais on tfte love, and
Iiarmony spelled witli a big H. and as
each siK-aker called for the Republicans to
get together and slay together, applause
and cheers shook the very iron girders
of the building.
The dinner waa not a cut-and-dried af
fair, for Judae M. C. George who as i
toastmaater is inimitable, had to have his
fun. as a number of letters and tele
grams were read, that might have been
sent by the people whose names were
a.gned to them, but were not. and wlilch
afforded no end of fun and laughter. One
letter was read by Judge teorge tnat
occasioned genuine regret, and that was
from Judire George H. Williams. Judge
"Williams sent word that he was unable to
attend the dinner because of a alight cold
that he had contracted, but he congratu
lated the Republican party and especially
the R-pub!icans of Oregon, upon the elec
xion of Taft and Sherman.
Before Judge George Introduced the
first speaker of the evening. United
States Senator Fulton, the toastmaater
rose and proposed a silent toast to
President Roosevelt, which was drank
standing. He then introduced Senator
Kulton. When Judge George spokse the
name of the distinguished Astorian it
was the signal for applause and cheer
ing that lasted tor several minutes: In
fact, the tumult was not stilled until
the toastmaser rapped for order.
Senator Kurton responded to the
toast, "Our National Legislature." He
delivered an address that will long be
remembered by those who listened to
him. Senator Fulton told In a force
ful manner what the Republicans of
the country could expect In the way
of tariff reforms from Congress.
"The Republican party has never
made a promise to the peo
ple that It has not kept."
said Senator Fulton. "and dur
ing the campaign through which we
liave Just so successfully passed you
have been promised tariff changes that
will be made. There will be a reduc
tion In the Iron and steel schedules,
and there will be other reductions, but
the Republican party will be sure that
such alterations will not injure Indus
tries or place the American laboring
man so that he will be unable to com
pete with foreign labor. It will be a
wise and Just reduction all along the
II ne."
Drlfttnar away from what la going to
fcappen at Washington Senator Fulton
came close home and urged a return to
the old methods of convention In chosing
the Representatives to Oongreaia. Sen
ator Fulton prefaced his remarks on this
aubject by saying that now the cam
paign was over, and this should be the
lime to look into the future. He pro
posed a plan for the calling of county
conventions and a state convention and
that at these conventions recommenda
tions of candidates be made to the peo
ple before the primaries. He urged that
auch a plan should be followed and also
that the conventions should exercise the
greatest care In selecting people of
Jionesty and high standing.
"Oregon expects a great many things
at the hands of Congress and It Is of
vital importance to the state whom the
people have to represent them. They
should see to It that they are represented
by members of the Republican party. I
have spiken of the revision that is to
take place In the tariff and I have spoken
of Iron and steel. There are two other
croducts which. If put on the free list,
would be a death-blow to Oregon timber
and wool. Oregon should not suffer be
cause the mills of New England demand
free wool, or because the manufacturers
of furniture and other industries that
tisa lumber demand the tariff taken oft
of lumber. The people of Oregon must
send men to Congress who are Repub
licans and believe In Republican doc
trines, men who will fight for the pro
tection of Oregon and for the vital In
dustries of the state."
Willis 6. Dunlway. who responded to
the toast. "The State of Oregon." fol
lowed Senator" Fulton, and his speech
was largely a warning cry to the Re
publican party, should It go back to
the convention days. "While the speak
er declared that the primary law of the
state was the best that had ever been
passed, he said that there were certain
things about the law that needed
changing and would, he believed, be
changed. With a show of feeling. Mr.
Xunlway said he remembered well the
trickery and "double-crossing" that had
taken place under the old convention
system, and warned the Republicans
that should they attempt to override
the law the Republican party would
receive a severe rebuke from the
people.
Judge George next called upon Pan J.
Malarkey. who responded to. "The People
po Rule." Mr. Malarkey said, that he
thought the vote that Tuft received was
enough to convince Bryan and the Demo
cratic party that the people do rule. No
better evidence, he said, was needed than
the way the American laboring people
refused to be delivered by the bosses.
Dr. Andrew C- Smith spoke on "A Cam
paign Autopsy." Dr. Smith said that the
subject reminded him of his second year
at medical college when he was called
Upon to do the autopsy work.
"To bold an autopsy on the Democrats
t this time." said Dr. Smith, "is no more
pleasant than It was then. The Demo
cratic party Is dead." Dr. Smith told
several stories that were thoroughly en
joyed, after which David M. Dunne and
several other speakers were called upon
after the regular programme had been
concluded.
Thompson has given practical demonstrations of his new metnoa or
sight testing before the foremost oculists of England. Germany, France,
Russia and Austria, and they unanimously claim his discovery a great
aid to science.

PUTER IS SHOCKED
Land-Fraud King Has
Praise for Heney.
Only
GIVES THEORY OP CRIME
Haas Was Nagged On to'Desperate
Deed by Prosecutor's Enemies.
Is Belief of Man Convict-
ed in Portland.
S. A. D. Puter, land-fraud king, con
vlcted by Francis J. Heney for his con
nection with a conspiracy to defraud the
Government out of thousands of acres
of valuable timberlands In this state and
who was sentenced to two years in the
Multnomah County Jail and to pay a fine
of $7500, later pardoned by President
Roosevelt, was greatly shocked by the
news of the attempted assassination of
the Government prosecutor. Mr. Puter
deeply showed his feeling when speaking
of Mr. Heney yesterday. Tears almost filled
his eyes and the twitching muscles of his
usually immobile face were evidence of
the strain which the shooting of Mr.
Heney brought upon him.
"Mr. Heney was one of the finest men
I ever met,' said Mr. Puter of the man
who sent him to jail. "He is as square as.
a die. ie is a relentless prosecutor,
but for all that, he is a fair one. He
does his duty and that is all. His aim
is to convict and a conviction secured.
his big heart shows Itself and if there
are ameliorating circumstances, Mr.
Heney will do his utmost to soften the
degree of the sentence.
'In selecting a jury, Mr. Heney Is ab
solutely fair. He would not take the
slightest advantage over any prisoner.
He Is just as fair to the defense as he
Is to the prosecution. I watched him
in my own case and in other cases in
this state and I want to say that no
fairer man ever prosecuted a criminal
case.
"I readily can imagine how Haas came
to commit the terrible crime. His feel
tngs have been worked upon by persons
pretending to be his friends, calling upon
him and consoling with him because he
had been exposed by Mr. Heney, This
naturally would work upon a man If It
was followed up persistently and perhaps
a crime would result, as In the attack of
Haas on -Mr. Heney.
'While I was in jail hundreds of people
came to me and told me that Mr. Heney
had given me the 'double cross' and that
he was not treating me right, and all
that sort of thing. Borne of them even
went so far as to say:
' 'I know what I would do if I were in
your place.'
'Of course, covert suggestions like
these might have influenced Haas to
commit the desperate deed. Of course,
I am not prepared to say that Haas was
approached by interested persons with
offers of any kind."

from the fingers of the adult female
body found In the fire. Sheriff Smutzer
swore they were similar to the rings he
had seen on the finger of Mrs. Gunness

their ownership without question by the
testimony of Herman Elbogan, a jeweler,
who had them in his possession for clean
ing and had several times seen them on
Mrs. Gunness" fingers. L
'eighbors will also support this testi
mony. - This we will follow up with the

mony of Dr. Norton we will pro . e that
the bridge had been made for Mrs. Gun
ness and fitted in her mouth.
