wish that "Hearst wouldn't talk ao
much."
"It shows very clearly that the Inde
pendence League will be our ally this
year." said one district leader. "Roose
velt will be In Africa next Fall, but his
friends will control the Republican city
convention. Congressman Herbert
Parsons will name the Mayoralty can
didate, and Parsons Is one of the small
minority In the House who voted
against the resolution of censure. I do
not know what Hearst will net out of
It. but It la a safe bet that his party.
If It Is still alive around next Septem
ber, will work with us to defeat Tam
many. For my part, thounrh. I wish
that Hearst would refrain from praising-
Roosevelt or the Republican party.
Every time he boosts anybody It In
jures the unfortunate man."
. Members of the independence League
say that the editorial was written by
the express order of William Randolph
Hearst, and Is simply an advance notice
of what Is to come.
"We made a sad mess of belnjr Inde
pendent last year," saya -one Brooklyn
i l.-ader: "now we will tie up with a
party that has some prospects ol suc
cess. And the patronage we are cer
tain to receive will help to build up
our organUatlon In years to come."
For the beauty of a Hearst leader is
that, while he admits present defeat.
i he is always optimistic regarding the
future.

BY LI.OTD F. LOXEBC.AX.
NEW TORK. Jan. IS. (Special.) Poli
ticians are rubbing their eyes with amaze
ment on finding that William. Randolph
Hearst's excitable Evening Journal has
assumed tne position of "Roosevelt or
gan" in Greater New York. When one re
members that the President, through
Ellhu Hoot. In announced his belief
that Mr. 'Hearst was responsible for the
murder of McKmley. the matter Is worthy
of note. In season and out of season,
the Hearst papers hav attacked .Mr.
Roosevelt. Tills did not surprise any
body, as up-to-date Mr. Hearst has never
forgiven any of his enemies.
The editor and the President mtt at the
White House, shortly after the election,
and It was then stated in The Oreftontan
that the Independence league wuld be
found working with the regular Repub
lican organisation this Fall. A few daya
ago. the Leagues city executive com mi t
tt f met and voted to '"take an active part
m the coming Mayoralty campaign." No
details accompanied tills statement. It
was simply an announcement that the
"nfth party" was not dead, and hoped
to wake up. Now the Evening Journal
has come to the front wun the following
remarkable editorial, written in Arthur
Brisbane's best style:
Known by His Knemles.
"Theodore Roosevelt has been Presi
dent or the Cnlted States almost eight
years. He has made mistakes a good

against him. Every trust Jackal bit

"Professional rrlmlnals In office are

"The Senate accuses him of dlshon- j

Nation iras frightened and only the big '
thieves were at their ease, Roosevelt
hesitated to make confusion and panic
worse at that particular moment, even
at the cost of permitting one more
piece of trust dishonesty the buying

"While the Senate, notorious for Ita
certificates of deposit from Archbold,

trusts, battened by profits of Sugar

from any kind of stealing, calls Roose

atives, that little nest of Incompetent
mediocrity and trust servility, attacks
him from another side.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16. (Special.)
United States Senator Albert J. Hop
kins, candidate for re-election in one
of the hottest political rights In the
history of Illinois, hotfooted It back
from Washington today to see If his
toga was on straight. Although en
gaged In one of the bitterest battles
of his political career, the junior Illi
nois Senator was not too busy to In
dulge In campaign argument and warn
the people of Illinois that his defeat
would be an Irreparable loss.
Has Enough Votes Pledged.
"I'll be elected all right, and when I
return to Washington I will have my
certificate of election tucked away In
my Inner vest pocket." declared the Sen
ator. "J am absolutely certain of elec
tion," he continued. "I have hiore
thun 103 votes pledged to me, and that
Is enough to elect. One vote less would
suffice, since the death of Representa
tive Zazabel has made 102 votes suffi
cient to elect. But I have more than
103 votes pledged, so I am not worry
ing about my election.
"And why should I be? If the pri
mary la,w Is wortn anything, I am the
candidate of the Republicans of Illi
nois for the position of United States
Senator. They designated me their
candidate for that high office. Just as
they elected the members of the Leg
islature "And again. I am the candidate of
the party chiefs for the position. A
resolution Introduced at the Republi
can Klale rnnvnM(in Inst met in r ' for
I me for United States Senator was
adopted without a dissenting vote.
Therefore I am the choice of the peo
ple and of the delegates to the party
convention."
. Large Crop of Competitors.
If the Hopkins people can force 10S
Republican members of the Legislature
into a caucus, they can make the work
of the caucus binding.
Wlille the candidate from Aurora de
clared that he would eliminate all com
petitors on the first Joint ballot, many
candidates were springing up in all
parts of the state. Here Is the list of
the men in the field, with or without
their consent:
Congressman George E. Foss, Con
gressman William B. McKtnley, Con
gressman Frank O. Lowden, ex-Senator
William E. Mason. Governor
Charles 8- Deneen, Postmaster Daniel
A. Campbell, Robert T. Lincoln, J. Og
den Armour, W. J. Calhoun. Honore
Palmer. Speaker E. D. Shurtleff. Rich
ard Yates. Lieutenant-Governor Law
rence Y. Sherman.
Mr. Armour, Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Palmer are new candidates who were
brought forward by Republican legis
lators merely as men they would vote
for rather than to see Senator Hopkins
re-elected.

PROVIDE ENOUGH OFFICERS
Only Way Secretary Wright Sees to'
Get Army Work Done.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. "I am con
vinced that the only remedy for the ab
sentee evil is to provide enough offics-rs
on the active list of ths Army to perform
all of the duties required of it."
This Is the substance of the reply
which Scrary Wright today made to
the House, which recently passed a reso
lution seeking information with a view
of having a number of retired officers
perform the duties of actlvs officers de
tached from the various commands.
House Tears Truth.
"Roosevelt told the truth about the
Houe of Representatives. He said
that they Were afraid of the Secret
Servloe spies because they committed
crimes that they don't want unearthed.
This is true. The people of the United
States know that that Is true, and no
amount of resolutions, not 16.000 votes
of "seven to one" against Roosevelt,
will persuade the people to think that
our Congress Is an honest. conscien
tiously representative body, as a whole,
or that Roosevelt did anything but tins
duty when he told the plain, blunt
truth about-the land thieves, the Arch
bold check-takers, and all the rest of
the crew.
"Honest men are In Congress, in the
upper and lower houses. They do exist
fortunately. You -lll find a sound
apple in a swill barrel occasionally. It
would have been better for those hon
est men to put themselves on record,
rebuking the President as individuals

Roosevelt.
"When I learned last February that
Senator Tillman had applied through
Reeder A Watklna to purchase several
quarter sections of land under the terms
of the C003 Bay wagon road grant, while
openly aiding in the prosecution of those
claiming to be the rightful owners, I at
once made the facts puhlic. I had no
reason to suspect that Senator Tillman
desired his connection with the matter to
b kept secret. Indeed. It was Senator
Tillman's very association with the pro

portunity was a fine one and an excellent
Investment.
"When I advertised the facts, as 1 un
derstood them, recommending the Invest
ment to my clients on the ground -that
Senator Tillman had himself Invested and
was pressing the case In the Senate, I
did not imagine that he would attempt
to cover his tracks. As It was, without
warning to me of any kind, Senator Till
man arose in the Senate chamber and de
nounced me publicly as a liar, a swindler,
and a fraud, and demanded that the
Postofflce Department deny me the use
of the malls. Acting upon his recom
mendation the postal authorities at once
issued an order to withhold delivery of
my mail, and I found myself alone in a
strange city, almost without friends to
whom I could turn.
"I had come to Portland from St. Paul
only a few weeks before, and had opened
an office with the Intention of going into
the timber business. When I started, I
had what would have been a powerful
clientele behind me; I had applied for
admission to the University Club and had
hoped to become closely identified with
tho social, political and business life of
Portland, my adopted home. When the
news of Senator Tillman's speech and the
action of the Postofflce Department be
came notorious through the Associated
Press reports, my fair weather friends
deserted me. my clients entirely forsook
me. and the clubs to which I had Applied

virtually ruined.

Offers Splendid Reduc-
I Lons rrom Unusually
Low Regular Prices
There is not a thing in my entire
rtock that, at its regular price, is not
an unusual bargain, quality consid
ered. There is not an item in my stock
that I have not made a good reduc
tion in 'price to make a quick clear
ance. There is not a store in the North
west that has a finer assortment of
jewelry novelties than can be found in
my stock today.
To convince yon that we are doing
exactly what we claim, I wish you
would call and examine my display.
