Ayer, chairman of the Portland Tkft commit tee, urges supporters of the President not only to go to the polls end Tote In tho primary election, but kleo to do In dividual work among other electors In advancing Taft'e candidacy. With thi. combination effectively at work. Mr. Ayer said yesterday be had no fear of the result of the election April II. Mr. Ayer said yesterday he had found evidences of disintegration In the Roosevelt following. Many of those leaving- the ex-President's cause, are Joining- with the Taft people. Mr. Ayer declared further that he confi dently expected President Taft to re ceive the nomination at the Chicago convention by a larger vote than when he was first nominated four years ago. Discussing the general situation yes terday and the need for continued ag gressive work by the supporters of the President especially In Oregon. Mr. Ayer said: Active Work ay All Creed. "Less than two weeks remain be fore the primary and every day condi tions are Improving. Greater activities mill prevail from now on and I would urge that every man who Is favorable to the election of President Taft ap point himself a committee of one and 'get busy.' First. h can make sure that nothing will Interfere with hia going to the polls; let his mind become attuned to the Idea that he la going to vote; let him keep saying to him self over and over again, -Every Tat voter must vote.' Second, he can talk to hia neighbor, the anan on the street, to every one he meets and do bis part to win votes. I want to say right now that there la no obligation resting on this committee that does not rest just as heavily on every other supporter of President Taft. Every one of them must do Ms duty. "The Presidential preference primary law Is one of the best laws ever put on the statute books, for It places the responsibility squarely on the should ers of every voter. There can be no shifting and shrinking. Results are right up to the electorate. "In this campaign the strong argu ments are with the Taft supporters. "In all fairness he Is entitled to re nomlnatlon. for no party has ever failed to renominate the retiring President for a second term. "He Is entitled to the renomlnatlon on his record. No President haa ever tried harder or aucceedod better In ad ministering the affairs of the Nation. riereelveae related Oat. "He Is truly progressive, for he alalia's for a scientific revision of the tariff and not for hap-hasard tariff tinkering that disturbs business. "He stands for an income tax the fairest form of taxation. "He stands for an extended civil service that will produce Increased ef ficiency and reduce expenses. ' "He stands for Government owner ahlp of Alaska railroads, in order to develop that territory. "He stands for Presidential prefer ence primaries. He said so to the Massachusetts Legislature. -Hi stands for peace. Look at his, arbitration treaties. "He stands for a sensible adminis tration of the land lawe less red tape and less delay. And I look for a great Improvement In. this direction during his next four years. "He stands (or all that Is the bent and finest In American manhood: for all that baa made this Nation great In the past and all that will mike It prosperous In the future. "One word more: I think every one realises that business conditions throughout the country have never ful ly recovered from the panlo of 17. and that the greatest happiness of the greatest number Is when business Is a-000 and that a change of adminis tration never makes good business.. It always creates uncertainties: It re . tards progress. 'With the renomlnatlon of President Taft I expect to see great activity and a great revival of busi ness and such development of this state as we have never witnessed. Taft stands for peace, progress and prosperity.- KOTAL HOOT DOGS OKGAMZE MlwourltM Form Society to Boost Champ Clark for President, v.tlve Mlssourlans living In Oregon have organised tbe Koyal Order of Houn' Ikts. as an aggressive agency for boosting the candidacy of Champ Clark for the Presidency In this slate.

At ie o'clock Dias expressed the wish to My farewell to the remnant of his army, and orders were given for mus tering the battalion, of the -' tj had come down from the capital with the ex-Pre.ldents train and of the sailor, from the rnbo.t. Zaragos,. and Sa Juan de Ulloa who had reinforced , the infantrymen In the protection of I the bleak house on the dunes. In the hot sunshine tr e soldiers of the I Eleventh and the Zapadores were drawn up In double rank before the lower gal . 1 .w. . - ..llors flanked tbem. and directly In front of the steps the machine guns that had dualt death In the maguey desert two day. before, were trundled to frwltlon. their .lender, shining barrel, pointing down toward the gold and red roofs of the city. The soldiers stood at rest; those of the Eleventh were ail Oaxaca Indians, na tives of Diss own stale, and believers In him as in the power of the salnta. They stood there In their wrinkled oltv. uniform, and heavy, thonged sandals, eyes strsngely alight as If with a re ligious exaltation. A stsn from Heaven a miracle worked by the eelnts to show that Don Porflrio would still tri umph over his enemies, as of old: That was the cry In the eyes of those Indians; discipline caused mouths to pucker with restraint of words that would be voiced. On the gallery 10 officer, of the Pal ace Guard, who had hurried away from Mexico City to bid their old commander godspeed even at the risk of punish ment, had ranged themselves In two lines. Minutes passed and the waiting burdened the nerves of the loyal ones. Then Don Porflrio stepped out from the dark doorway Into the morning radiance, and he .tood. bareheaded, be fore them. The sun Marched every llnament of th. bronxed face, but found no line of weakness aad rio stamp of age save its dignity. He began to .peak, and hia voice was at first pow : ..a ,.,.i.iiin there was a sur prised note of virility In It, He said that this was to be tbe last time that ever he would address his soldiers his soldiers, much believed. For that day Ms exile from Mexico would begin: he was going to Europe, never to return to bis home land unless some danger from foreign source should thresten. "I give you my word of honor," tbe 1 : w streng voice continued, "that if ever sudden danger from without threatens my country I will return, and under that flag, for whtch I have fought much. I, with J-ou at my back, wHl learn again to conquer." A sudden choking blotted Diaz" speech, and his eyes showed tears. "And now. my bo1 diers last of the army of Porflrio Dlaa I say farewell. You have guarded me to the ultimate moment you have been loyal. My soldiers, blessing take the blessing of your old commander! M,ore more I cannot say!" rslehtml(OelgolsIaxiuv:ahw5ffl d d dl He stopped, and a sibilant Jntaklng of the breath passed down the line of brown faces where stood the Oaxaca Indians. Then, one by one, the officer, of the troops sheathed their swords, advanced to the steps, and there em braced their old commander-in-chief. Their grief was frank; tears fell upon Dlax' bands as he said farewell to each. The last officer had returned to his position, and still Dlax stood, his eyes passing In slow review the faces of his soldiers. Abruptly one of them near tbe steps dropped hi. gun, and before interference could check htm he had thrown himself on the step, at Dlax' feet. With his head on the old warrior's boots he called hysteri cally In a speech not Spanish, and ca ressed the knees of his master. Dlax looked down at the soldier for an In stant, patted hi. black head, and then spoke a low word of command. The Indian stepped quickly back to the rank's, picked tip hi. rifle, and brought It untrembllngly to the salute. A few hours later the fallen dictator. with his family, passed In a hedge of ' his soldiers' bayonets through tbe street, of Vera Cms to the steamer. The "Different" Child. Century.
