THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND SEPTEMBER 15. 1912. 12 APPEALS COURT OH HISTOEI0 VIADUCT OVER. WILLAMETTE IS' BEING DEMOLISHED. All That Is Highest and Best September Term Will Convene at 10 A. M. Tomorrow. TAFT HER REJOICE AT GAINS RECORDED M Chairman Moores Thinks Cam' paign of Education Only Needed to Fight T. R. BULL MOOSE HOPES WANE With Collapse of Roosevelt Boom, Following Disappointment' At tending Colonel's Visit Is Growing; More Keen. Reviewing the development ot the -week nolitically throughout the coun try. Including- the lack of enthusiasm and general disappointment tnat ax tended Roosevelt's visit to Oregon, Charles B. Moores, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee finds much to encourage the support ers of President Taft. Although fully aware of tbe financial backing Roose velt is receiving from George W. Perkins and other representatives of - the "big interests" of the country, Mr. Moores believes an earnest campaign of education Is the only weapon re quired by the Taft forces effectively to combat the Bull Moose movement. . "Replying to the statement of Mr. Lepper, secretary of the fatal, euu Moose committee, tha't my reference to .the Bull Moose 'barrel' is ridiculous," said Mr. Moores yesterday, "it is well to note that while Mr. Lepper has a dole ful tale to tell about having to ad vance money-for campaign-expenses, he admits he has. assurances he will be reimbursed. Perkins Statement Cited. . "If "the Interests' could afford to send out as much as J3500 in a single re mittance last Spring to carry the pri maries for Roosevelt, they certainly will 'reimburse' any expenses incurred m the coming campaign. The purity dodge and the poverty dodge will not avail In this campaign in the face of the activity of Munsey and Perkins. "Mr. Perkins announced just after the Bull Moose National convention that Roosevelt's campaign would be backed by unlimited means. ' The last report of E. H. Hooker, treasurer of the Bull Moose National party, shows recent contributions of $15,000 each from Munsey and Perkins. Both of these men are stockholders in the steel trust and other trusts. How much better is. this money than the $100,000 that Archbold contributed to Roose velt's campaign in 1904 In behalf of the Standard Oil Company? Does any body suppose the Colonel will order Dixon to return It until the last of October after it all has been spent? Gloom Among; Bull Moose. "Since the fiasco of last Wednesday, the Bull Moose headquarters in the Oregon Hotel have been a veritable cave of gloom The whole time and attention of the .committee and a lot of Perkins money are now being de voted to the recovery of Roosevelt's book. Mr. Ackerson came back from the Chicago convention last June with a story that 'the crime of the century' had Just been committed there, but it should be remembered that that was before Roosevelt lost his book. It Is said that Dr. Coe thinks Dan Kellaher stole It, but It Is generally thought that the real criminal is Judas Iscanot Others suggest that the book was lost from the Colonel's auto when he eluded his escort and struck out through the brush down on the Peninsula, osten sibly looking for 'fresh air,' but in reality headed for Vancouver, Wash., to deliver an address to James P. Staple ton and a few other political agricul turalists at the Clark County Fair." "The developments of the week con tinue favorable to Taft, as they have been for weeks past. Kansas, which last Spring was overwhelmingly for Roosevelt, In the recent primaries gave Senator Curtis, a pronounced Taft man, a handsome majority In the popular vote for the United States Senate over Stubbs, who was one of Roosevelt's seven Governors. In Michigan, the home of Osburn. another one of the seven Governors, the Republican vote is reported as being 146,596, while only 6623 votes were east for the Bull Moose candidate for Representative-at-Large. Vermont Election Work Falls. "In the recent Vermont primaries, Roosevelt himself and Senator Clapp, Beverldge. Judge Llndsey and others of his biggest guns appeared and made absolutely frantic appeals for every Bull Mooser to support the Bull Moose candidate for Governor for the effect it would have on other states,' but he was beaten by nearly 11.000 votes. The Colorado primaries have Just gone against him "Within the last few days in Wash ington, where there was a fierce scram ble by five Bull Moose candidates for Governor, the "one-man-party polled only 26.000 votes, which is only 10 per cent of the state registration. In his fcreat triumph In Illinois last Spring, where he had the assistance of Gov ernor Deneen and the whole state ad ministration, and where he suppressed the Taft-Lorlmer letter and won upon a false issue, he polled only 30 per cent of the total Republican vote. Now he Is handicapped by the Lerimer let ter expose and is being fought by Deneen and all the other candidates on the state ticket. They understand the Illinois situation. Lou Seen la California. "In California last Spring Roosevelt polled 138.000 votes as against 113,000 cast for Taft and La FoUette. In the primaries held last week, according to figures given by both The Oregonian and the Journal, the Taft candidates for Congress polled 93.000 votes, while the Bull Moose candidates polled 98.000. This is a clear loss for Roosevelt of 40.000 votes since the Spring primaries, and gives him less than 10 per cent of tha total registered vote, which is more than 1.000.000. 'Rudolph Spreckels, Senator La Fol lette's campaign manager, is organis ing his following to support Wilson as the best means for defeating Roosevelt, Senator Works also Is supporting Wil son, doubtless for the same reason, and declares truly that California will go tor Wilson. This result is probable, principally for the reason that the thou shalt not steal party Is likely to succeed In stealing the - Republican label for Its electors. With the Re publican vote thus split, it la useless for the friends of either Taft or Roose velt to make any lying claims about carrying California. Oresroa "In this state last Spring Roosevelt lacked 14,000 votes of getting a major ity in the Republican primaries. In those primaries more than 15.000 more votes were cast than were cast in the general election two years before for Republican candidates for congress, it means that large numbers of Democrats invaded our primaries and Democrats who ouEht to know have openly oe clared that these men tad Instructions to support Roosevelt in the Republican primaries as the best metnoa oi De moralizing the Republican party.

A report prepared yesterday by Gen eral Manager O'Brien, of the O.-W. R. & N relative to the operations of the new"railroad bridge shows that from August to 30 the upper deck of the bridge was open 26 minutes out of 24 hours each day.. This record was broken between September 1 and 9. when the average time of opening per day was IS 2 minutes It is thought that that average will be lowered even more when all the workmen finish with the structure. The high upper deck of the bridge i n .- mi nrnvA a s-reat advantacre to street traffic, as it is unnecessary to open the bridge for boats excepting those with, high stacks or masts.

"For the same reason I believe that the same voter wants a practical man for Railroad Commissioner. Having had 12 years of experience aa a prac tical railroad man, I feel that I am in every way qualified to serve as Rail road Commissioner. It Is this fact coupled with the urgent requests of my fellow employes, that has Induced me to become a candidate. T am not under obligations to any railroad or other corporation, and, If elected, will give the "little fellow" an even break with the 'big fellow. I am in a position to understand the needs of the small shipper, the traveling public, the grievances of railroad em nlnves and the waiting-room nuisance. as well as wnai snouia reasonably uo expected of the railroads.
