YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD AT GADSBY'S FREE TRADE VIEWS Governor Expected to Yield . Somewhat to Prbtection - ists in His Party. TARIFF TO BE MAIN ISSUE Democratic Presidential Nominee Confident of Success bnt Some of His- Friends Fear Bryan May Yet Cause Trouble. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 3. Governor Wilson, ac cording to those who have talked with him, believes, as did every delegate at the Baltimore convention, that this Is a Democratic year, and that the voters In November will overwhelmingly reject both President Taft and Colonel Roose velt, regardless of what manner of campaign they may make. Personally, Wilson has chosen the tariff as the main issue for his campaign, and that choice will be respected by the cam paign managers. But, at the very outset, this one Issue Is causing; worry to some of the ablest men in the Democratic party, for the Democratic platform declared In favor of free trade, and Governor Wilson is personally a free trader. Not many days ago the New York World, perhaps the most Influential Demo cratic paper, in the United States, called upon Wilson to denounce the tariff plank in the Baltimore platform and to come out for a reasonable de gree of protection. The World de clared flatly that the vast majority of Democrats no longer believe in free trade, but wanted a reasonable amount of protection, as evidenced by the votes of some of the leading Democrats In the Senate. The opinion voiced by this newspaper is known to be the opinion of a great many Democrats in the Senate and House of Representa tives, where protectionists from the South are no longer objects of Interest. Compromise May Be Made. While Governor Wilson will not abrogate the tariff plank, in all proba bility he will BOften the hearts of Democratic protectionists. It is assert ed, by favoring some form of tariff commission, thus adhering to the Taft plan of revision schedule by schedule, basing such revision on facts gathered by some competent non-partisan body This is not all that is desired by the more earnest Democratic protectionists, but it Is a compromise ground, and mav prove popular. The demonstrated unpopularity of the prevailing Payne-AIdrich law, and the fact that that law will remain In operation throughout the campaign this year, and the further fact that the Re publican Senate declined to revise the wool and cotton schedules In accord ance with the findings of the Tariff Board and even refused to make any attempt at such revision will give the Wilson managers their strongest tariff argument in the campaign this Pall, and Governor Wilson informs his call ers that this omission on the part of the Republicans will make for him the best sort of campaign material. Bryan May Turn on Wllioi. But while Governor Wilson sees clear sailing ahedd on the tariff issue, some of his friends' fear he may jet experi ence trouble with William J. Bryan before the campaign has progressed far. It will be recalled that at the Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan made a most vigorous assault upon Murphy Of Tammany, Ryan and Belmont, and other representatives of AVall street, and did his utmost to read them out or the Democratic party. He did succeed in forcing the convention to decjare itself to be progressive and opposed to the domination of such men, and tne victory for Bryan was a signal one. But after the convention adjourned, and leaders began to talk harmony. Governor Wilson sent for Boss Murph, and the Tammany chief was one of the first visitors received at Seagirt. Then also came Boss Nugent, of New Jersey, who had been an out-and-out opponent of Wilson, and then came word that tne Ryan-Belmont Interests, notwithstand ing Bryan's resolution at Baltimore, were to support Wilson in his cam naign. and that their support was wel comed by the Governor. The relations between Wilson and the Ryan-Belmont element are not positively known; It may be that Governor Wilson, in the Inter est of harmony, is enlisting the sup port of all Democrats. But if It is later demonstrated that Wilson is de pending largely upon these men to carrv him through in New York and the East, it is feared by the Governor s friends that there will be another out burst from Mr. Bryan which will only stir up dissension in the Democratic ranks. Bryan Ha" Nothing to Lof. Bryan, of course, can continue his warfare on Murphy and Ryan and Bel mont for he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He wants to keep . .. u- 1 Via wants to be known as a great factor in his party. and yet he Is relieved oi n bility,. and, because of his independ ence- is In a position to ma no muu.. trouble, if he determines upun -course. , . , It has been explained several times that Woodrow Wilson Is going to aban don the West, and make his entire fight in the East, confident that the South will stay with him. This is not correct. On the other hand, the Democratic platform made a strong bid for West- it riorlared in favor ern suppun iir.. -- of sane and practical conservation as against Fincnousm, n.nu ... that Governor Wilson has hopes of carrving-a large part-of the West in November. Montana, Colorado and Nevada he counts as certain: Idaho, n-..himrtn and Oregon he believes are easily debatable ground, with more than an even cnance iui victory if the third ticket is placed in those states to divide the Republican vote, and California is listed as a prob able Wilson state if there is no let-up in the Taft-Roosevelt fight now in progress. And men close id vmu.. declare thai tnese bii.o n... V terly contested as any state In the East, notwithstanding their comparatively slender vote in the Electoral College. LOGAN SHOWS RESOURCES Available Tonnage on East Side of Willamette Being Scheduled. O. B. Robbins, president of the Logan Improvement Association, has prepared and sent to Dan Kellalier, president ol the East Side Business Men's Club, a statistical report on the tonnage and resources of the Logan district. in Clackamas County, showing advantage of that section. This reprtrt is part of the general statistics which are be ing gathered throughout the section ex tending southeast to Wilhoit Springs, with a view to securing an electric railway to Portland. Mr. Robbins says In his report that from the Logan dis trict without railway facilities, there are 14,575 tons handled yearly; 378 homes owning farms of 30 acres each; 11.300 acres of tillable land; 8233 acres Of timber land and more than 220, 00, 000 feet of timber standing. Mr. Rob bins says: "This is one of the most wealthy and prosperous sections of Clackamas County, with vest timber and dairying' resources. The tonnatre figures are large considering that we have no rail way connection with Portland. We have the most prosperous Grange in thn state, which owns its own hall, and has 130 active members. We have churches and schools, and now want electric railway connection with Port land." There are now nine active improve ment clubs organized in that territory, all of which are collecting statistics showing probable tonnage and re sources, agricultural and timber, all of which will be used to induce the con struction of an electric railway. Clubs were formed last night at Viola and at Whilhoit Springs. Dan Kellaher, president of the East Side Business Men's Club, was present at Wilhoit and outlined in a brief talk what is proposed to secure electric railway facilities for that district from the East Side. Mr. Kellaher pointed out that the Hill lines are coming in on the East Side and that a public dock will be built there. "Your vast timber and other re sources," said Mr. Kellaher, "can be poured right through to the East Side public docks when this electric line Is built, as It will be in the near future. The Hill lines will have a grand central depot on the East Side. This territory is the largest undeveloped section in, the state, and it is worth your time and energy to work for this electric railway. We of the East Side Business Men's Club will co-operate with your clubs In every way possible in getting this electric railway." IS COXTUAST WITH WASHINGTON DISTRICT GRATIFYING.
