Now that the political battles of the Itason have been fought and victory baa been "won, the Republican county organization, with all other political bodies, has closed Its headquarters and Is prepared to rest on its glory until the next campaign rolls around.

LONDON, .Nov. 2. A notice posted recently at Lloyds caused considerable excitement. It was to the effect that the coastguards at Malln Head, on the north coast of Ireland, saw an un known vessel torn asunder and sunk by what they supposed to be contact with a mine. A Fleetwood trawler also reported the sinking of the steamer. Lloyds insurance premiums on North Atlantic voyages, which had been not above 10 shillings, immediately jumped to 20 shillings.

In history. It certainly was the most active, and by many it was considered as the most efficient. Headquarters were opened in the Morgan building May 15 and kept open every day. Including most Sundays, until yesterday. "When the campaign opened the Re publican leaders realized that but four positions on the state and county tickets would be contested. All other places seemed won. These four offi ces were United States Senator, Gov ernor, Representative to Congress and Sheriff. Fight Centers Around Four. So the work was concentrated on those four offices. All plans were made with that object in view. Early in the season it became evi dent that the Republican candidate for United States Senator would lose Mult nomah County by a minimum plurality of 10,000 votes. The hope of electing the Senatorial candidate lay with the outside counties. The Multnomah County committee set out to keep the adverse plurality down to 10,000. Any thing below that figure was expected to add to the plurality that the candi date seemed certain to receive in the outside counties. How well the county committee did Its work is evidenced by the fact that the Democratic Senatorial candidate re ceived a plurality of approximately 600 votes in the county. The success of the committee's efforts Is further illustrated by the returns, which Bhow that each of the three other contested positions were carried In the county by varying margins. The committee did successfully all the work that it set out to do. 320 Men in Field. At the beginning of the active cam paign the county committee consisted of 275 Republican workers in various parts of the county. Before the end of the campaign a committeeman had been appointed in each of the 326 pre cincts of the county. Many prominent business and professional men were members. The committee organized by electing George J. Cameron chairman, Elmer L. Amidon secretary and John L. Day treasurer. The executive committee was composed of Dan E. Powers, Lou Wag ner, Ferley C. Heald, Francis Cap ell, C. F. Peterson, James C. Walsh, J. L. Hammersley, C. R. Hotchkiss, D. F. Hardman, O. A Neal. J. L. Day, Charles Cleveland. J. F. McAllister, Fred Val entlne and Creed T. Evans. The executive committee held 21 meetings and at all times was in close touch with the situation. None of the workers wats paid. All were patriotic and enthusiastic. In connection with the regular coun ty headquarters, C. N. McArthur, Re' publican candidate for Congress, con ducted his campaign. . In the last two weeks preceding the election the Mc Arthur headquarters were in charge of John L. Day. Just how effective were the efforts in behalf of AIcArthur is shown by the fact that districts like St. Johns, Lents, Mount Scott and oth- ers that voted against him in the pri maries voted for him in the general election. Women Aid Materially. - A material part of the success is due to the faithful work of 50 women who were members of the general com mittee. Each precinct was independ ently organized under sub-committees. About soo women were members of these sub-committees. "I want to thank every member of the central committee for the splendid work he did," said Chairman Cameron VMterdav. Other members of the organization point out that no small part of the result was due to the ability displayed hv thft nhalrman himself.. Probablv the most zealous worker in the organization was E. L. Amidon, the secretary, who labored incessantly from the time the campaign started until long after it ended. He devoted ill his time to the work. As a token of appreciation of his efforts other members or the commit tee yesterday presented him with a handsome watch Too. PRAYER WEEK ON TODAY Dr. Lovick Pierce Iiaw to Conduct Services at Y. M.

Further Efforts at Rental Settlement Yet. to Be Made Tnouah Part ot Council Prefers Closing;. x In hope of being able to agree on a rental with the O.-W. R. & N. Company for the use of the Steel bridge for streetcar, vehicular and pedestrian traffic the City Commission and the company at a meeting yesterday agreed to leave the bridge open for. another 30 days. The lease on the structure held by the city expires tonight and It was feared that it would be closed because the city and the company could not agree on a rental. ' Commissioners Daly and Blgelow voted to close the bridge tonight, but Mayor Albee and Commissioners Bige low and Dleck; voted to extend the time for the final closing for 30 days. In the meantime, further attempts will be made to settle the question. The railroad company has asked a rental of $52,000 a year, while the city has been willing to pay no more than $18,000 a year. Deducting the revenue to be derived from the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company for use of the bridge for streetcars, the city at the $18,000 rate would pay only about $6000 a year for the use or tne Driage. For two vears the city has paid 4,uu. The railway officials presented iig- ures yesterday to show that their bridge is used as much as the other bridges and costs the city considerably less to operate and maintain on the old basis of rental. It was shown that in 1913 the Bumside bridge cost the city $74,612; the Morrison bridge ?oo. 160. the Hawthorne bridge $63,156, the Broadway bridge $129,479, and the Steel bridge $70,737. tor vehicles, automo biles and pedestrians it is shown that the Steel bridge is used as much as the other .bridges excepting the Burn side. W. W. Cotton, representing the com pany. said he did not think the city should expect the use of the bridge involving an investment of over $800. 000. for a matter of $18,000 a year. He said the railroad company had invested its money in the bridge in good faith and the city should show its good faith by giving the company a reasonable return on Its investment. hold its next meeting on Wednesday night at the St. Stephens parlors at Thirteenth and Clay streets.
