Statea Senator from Washlna-ton. on the Republican i. ticket, delivered two addressee In Clark rountr today, on this afternoon at a harre.t picnic at Orchard, and one In the Auditorium at Vancouver tonlarht. t the picnic he spoke to about liOO farmers and their wives, and there were 400 votera In the auditorium tonlsrht. I Ida address was punctuated oftn by I applause from the audience, many mem bora of which aeemed to be In sym pathy with what he said, especially on the conervatlon question and the nec- ' rultr that the W'.-t Side should have a Senator. B. I- Krench was chairman at the Orchards sTatherlna- and Henry Crass, of Vancouver. Introduced Judge Burke to night. Jadco Burke discussed conservation. : the necessity of the West Side having; a Senator, hla so-called corporation nnnectlons. the Taft AdmlstrsUon and the tariff. While speaking on the West Side Senatorshlp phase of the situation he defined his position concerning; the relationship between tills country and the Orient. Judge Burke said lie believed now and always has believed that those who come Into a country as pioneers are en titled to reap tho fruits of their toll (. and of their energy In farina; the hard " stripa of a wilderness. He denied the rla-ht of the Government to subject the - , people of the West to the burden of -. i-nyln: taxes directly Into the Federal treasury, this money to be used In other sections ofi the United States, where Ions; years ago all the natural resources of the locality passed Into )u jjnj- (sjsajj! si js Atrstijueae -ane Conservation Wanted. i '. Judge Burke declared that he be lieves In conservation to the extent necessary to protect the natural re sources of the state. He favora pro ' tection from forest lires. and the per ' petuation of forests on the mountain . aides, but Is absolutely opposed to throwing Into forest reserves land . adapted for agricultural purposes. "1 behave." he said, "that wherever there la land that can be converted into farms, there the people should be per- mitted to carve out their homes and . to earn, unhampered by. unrighteous restrictions, a living for themselves and their families and to create that form of economic life of such vital " Importance to the future welfare of ' the stats." Judge Burke spoke of the attitude " of the insurgents In connection with 3 the conservation policy of the Flnchot brand and declared that In this attitude ' the tnaurgenta are dealing a blow to . . Washington in behalf of the people of ' the Bast, people, he declared, who have ; I no Intention of coming Into the unset Had West, yet desire to play dog In the manger and obstruct the growth of . the West, where there Is ample room , fur millions of settlers. The Insurgents, - lie said, while they profess to favor a course of conservation permitting the use of conserved lands, really advocate . a plan that absolutely will prevent the use of these lands, for the restrictions , desired are so unfair aa to amount to positive obstruction. Referring to the coal and the water power resources. Judge Burke said he bellevea laws should be enacted to pre ' vent these great properties of the stats " from falling Into the hande of monopo lists, but that the policy should be such that while fully protecting the . public against Imposition It should en tourage the development of the na- ".ural resourcea of this state at the ' earliest opportunity. Judge Burks be ' llevea that these resourcea should be guarded by the state and not by the Veiieral Government. 1 1 .. Insurgents 'Gainst West. 'ill this connection Judge Burke re Vrred to the attitude of the tnaurg enta, arguing that In effect they aay to the people of Waehingion: "You are Incapable of protecting yourselves, so you must permit Congress, and Con gress appointed bureaucrats who never have been west of the Mississippi Klver, to protect )1ur Interests." "These worthy gentlemen, honest and well-meaning no doubt, but visionary and impractical, appear to lose sight. tf the fact that the people of Washing ton long ago took the greatest of all steps toward their own protection when I It comes to natural resources, he said. "This state haa put Into Ita constitu i Hon a provision that gives them full 1 power to protect themselves against the abuse of monopoly in water power." . In dealing directly with the Sena ttorlal situation so far as the relative ! rights of the West side and the East I ide are ronterned Judge Burke em-t-ptiaslxed the diversity of Interests ; that prevails and dwelt at length upon J; the necessity of the West Sides hav- lag in the Senate a man familiar with every detail of those things that go to make for the best Interests of the West Side. Holding the East Side to be well represented In the Senate, I Judge Burke expressed the belief that the prosperity of the whole state will .fee advanced greatly by the selection 'at this time of a West Side man. Sup ' porting the statement that there Is i no question of the Justness of this West Side's desire, he said that In it reside two-thirds of the population 'of the state. Judge Hurke defined his attitude on the immigration laws between this country and the Orient. He dented as an absurd falsehood the statement pub lished to the effect that he favors ato'llilng the exclusion laws now existing, and declared with emphasis thai he never -as favored the admis sion of coolie labor. Itailroad Connections Kxplalnctl. Iieallng with his railroad association. )titie Burke showed that for the first IS years of his life In Seattle he had to fitrht in the Interest of his home and '. of the territory against the only rail - road of any Importance then in Wash ington, t$c Northern Pacific. During those years the Northern Pacific man j agement centered all Its power and In , fluenre to destroy Seattle. Explaining his connection with the Great North i ,-rn. he aald that when It started to ' build westward, at the solicitation of I friends, he went to the heads of the f ; ruad and finally Induced them to build ' to Seattle. He waa offered and acepted . the position as general counsel In this statv with the understanding that ,V '..TV JIUUG TIIUMAS niKKK whenever in his opinion the interests of the road and of the city were In con flict he would side with the city and the railroad would get another legal representative. On one occasion this condition arose and he sided with Seattle, In a controversy concerning the Lake Washington Canal. Judge Burke continued that when the Great Northern completed the tunnel, he believed he had done all that he could to anchor It In the city, anil then resigned. He declared that since that time he never has received a cent from, any corporation, railroad or otherwise. Judge Burke's reference to the Taft Administration was brief. He said that Taft. more than any other presi dent since Lincoln, has been subjected to unwarranted criticism, and that dur ing the IS months of ...s Administra tion he has accomplished more in the way of obtaining constructive legisla tion than has any other President in 40 years. Speaking of the tariff, he said that the present bill leaves much to lie de sired, but ha held that it Is as good a bill as can be obtained under the pres ent manner of arriving at schedules. Also he held that while President Taft doea not approve of the bill in Its en tirety, the President did the correct thing In signing the bill. Had he not done so. he said, he believes there would have been created a condition of financial affaira that would have amounted to a panic of serious import.

BETTOR TAKES SHORT END Corrupt Fraetires Law Makes Pro vision Asulnst Act Without Kef erenee to Candidacy of Per son Offending. SALKM. Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) Hal 1). Patton, member of the lower house In the last Lcstelature and now candidate for State Senator from this county, has openly made the statement in the presence of many witnesses In the past few weeks that he has wagered a considerable sum of money at odds of 1 to ! that E. Hofer will secure the nomination at the primnry election as Republican candidate for Governor. By section 23 of the corrupt practice act It Is expressly stipulated that any candidate who. before or during any election campaign, makes any bet or wauer of anything of pecuniary value, or In any manner ecomes a party to any such bet or wa-er on Rny event or contingency relating to any pending election, or who provides money or any other- valuable to be used "by any per son In betting or wagering upon the results of any Impending election, shall be guilty of corrupt practice. It is further provided in the act that anyone guilty of corrupt practice is subject to a maximum fine of $500 and a year's imprisonment in the county Jail. While Patton had not filed his declaration at the time he is supposed to have made the alleged wager, tho act also provides thrit any person mak ing a bet or wnger thus taking the candidacy from the question altogether is guilty of corrupt practice, and this sentence of the section says that such person may be challenged and t!ie act. If proved, fs sufficient to deprive him of his right to vote. Taking this fact Into consideration. It Is evident that, even, though not a candidate, one who wagers on an elec tion and eventually Iwcomes a candi date. If deprived of his right to vote, and if elected to the office to which lie aspires, would probably bo unable to qualify. Patton is one of the leading anti assembly candidates In this county and has been active In support of Hofer'a candidacy for gubernatorial honors.

THOMAS HART IS ACCUSED Assault With Dangerous Weapon Is Charge Placed Against Wilbur Man Escape Believed Aided by Friends Wife Fears. ROSBBURG, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) Accused of assault with a dangerous weapon, Thomas Hart, of Wilbur, is hid ing in the woods somewhere in the vicin ity of Oakland, and notwithstanding the fact that a posse, headed by Sheriff Fen ton and Constable Singleton, has been on his track since early last night, all efforts to capture him have proved futile. As soon as Hart became aware that his wife had caused a warrant to be issued for his arrest, he left the family home and sought shelter In a neighbor's barn. There he remained alert until nearly 8 o'clock, when he noticed the officers ap proaching and fled into the dense thicket which abounds in that locality. The officers gave chase, but were outdistanced and compelled to return to the county road. Thinking that Hart would return to his home during the night, the Sheriff kept' watch nearby, but without result. This morning the officers solicited the services of several men well acquainted In the locality where Hart is supposed to be hiding and started in pursuit. All of the men are heavily armed and do not propose to allow the fugitive to escape. Up to a late hour tonight nothing has been heard from the officers, and It Is supposed that they are following a route along the North TJmpqua River toward Glide, where Hart Is alleged to have vis ited frequently. Hart is considered a dangerous char acter when drinking, and in addition hates Constable Singleton, with whom he has had trouble upon several occasions. It is the belief of the officers that he is armed. Inasmuch as he Is said to have Informed several persons that he would resist arrest When the Sheriff left here today he said that he would not return until Hart DR. A. P.
