Another appeal laauod by W. B. 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.-

soldiers stood at rest; those of the

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

a miracle worked by the eelnts to
show that Don Porflrio would still tri

was the cry In the eyes of those Indians;
discipline caused mouths to pucker with

On the gallery 10 officer, of the Pal

Mexico City to bid their old commander
godspeed even at the risk of punish

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

found no line of weakness aad rio stamp

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

at Dlax' feet. With his head on the
old warrior's boots he called hysteri

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.

The reason is that Hollingsworth is an honest business man
and when Sheriff intends to run the office for the people of
Multnomah County and not for himself. ' He stands tor a
square deal to alL ' . L ....
His administration will be honest, efficient, reliable and
controlled by no faction. ' ,.11'
More than one candidate has attempted to gather laurels
to himself by posing for a flat salary.
For 14 years the Sheriff's office has been governed by a
' flat salary- All fees go to the county.
Any candidate who did not know this should not be run
ning; for office. Any who did and yet posed as a. "flat-salary"
man is trying to gather laurels to which he is not enti
tled. That's not politics; it's trickery. ' -
Hollingsworth knows the duties of the Sheriff s .office.
He has been chief office deputy eight years. The man you
want for Sheriff should know the work. No one wants to elect
a man who would have to spend three or four years learning
how and wasting the money of the county every minute.
If you want an honest man, a square man, a business man
for Sheriff, vote for
