FULL DELEGATION
State Expected to Be Solidly
Republican in Congress
'i First Time in Years.
COLONEL WELL - RECEIVED
Great Audience at Detroit Intent
on Every tVo'rd Labor Slen to
. Be Undeceived Regarding
Eight-Hour" 'I;aw,
DETROIT. Oct. 7. (Special.) Michi
gan, which is conceded by the Demo
cratic campaign managers to be in
the Republican column this year, will
roll up a substantial majority for. the
; Hughes and Fairbanks ticket and prob
ably, for-the first time in years, will
cend a. solid Republican delegation to
Congress. At present Michigan has
two Democrats in the House of Repre
sentatives, one of them, Frank Dore
mus, of Detroit, the chairman of the
National Democratic Congressional
committee. -.
Michigan is one of the states in
; which Woodrow Wilaon is stronger
than his party and from this time forth
. the efforts of the managers of the Na
tional campaign will be in the direc
tion of whittling down the Wilson sup
port. A start was made last Saturday,
when. Colonel Roosevelt unllmbered his
guns at Battle Creek and tore to tat
ters the record of the Wilson Admin
istration. Labor to. Be' Set Right.
There is a large labor vote in Michi
gan, found largely in the various fac
tories. Among these laboring men has
been a strong Wilson sentiment, due
to the belief which has grown current
that the President Is a true friend of
labor. Democratic campaign managers
have put forth all manner of devices
to convince the laboring men that Mr.
Hughes is hostile to their interests and
to convince them also that Mr. Hughes
is a "tool of Wall street.'
Regardless of the fact - that these
leaders have resorted to ' untruthful
charges and to deliberate misrepre
sentation, the poison injected has had
a telling effect, and the purpose of
the Republican campaign managers Is
to set the voters right by. letting all
. the facts be known. Early in the cam
paign the Republicans were so confi
dent of, success in Michigan that they
paid little attention to the activities of
the Democratic leaders and while they
rested on their oars no inconsiderable
damage, was done. That damage will
now be.umione.
' Colonel's Speech Effective,
Colonel Roosevelt's speech will have
tremendous Influence . with the labor
' element In Michigan and what he had
: to say of Preside.-1 Wilson and of the
Adamson law In all its phases will do
much to unmake the Wilson votes that
have been gained by misrepresentation.
The Colonel made himself -clearlv
understood. His speeches being widely
and closely read..
; The Roosevelt speech at Battle Creek
was interesting in several particulars.
Aside from what the Colonel said, the
manner tn which his utterances were
: received has been widely commented
upon. It Is doubtful if the Colonel ever
faced a more interested or more in
tent audience than the 10,000 who heard
him on that occasion, but It also Is
true that he probably never before de
livered so vigorous ,a talk and was
greeted with lese frequent applause.
That Battle Creek audience, it might
be said, sat spell-bound. It followed
Colonel Roosevelt with the keenest In
terest.. Yet, through the delivery of
the speech, the vast , audience seldom
applauded at length, seeming to pre
fer to hear everything the Colonel had
to say.
Adamson Law Is Boomerang;.
If there was one topic on which Colo
nel Roosevelt wrung enthusiastic ap
proval from the Battle Creek audience,
more than on any other. It was when
he condemned the President's surren
der on the Adamson law. The way
that crowd applauded his denunciation
of the surrender and the way other
raid-Western audience have applauded
Mr. Hughes' analysis of that eame law
and his denunciation of the surrender
to force, has left no doubt that an Is
sue which President Wilson framed
for his own benefit has In fact become
a boomerang that will, in the end, ma
terially Impair his own prospect.
The longer . the public studies the
mlsbranded "eight-hour law," the more
it seems to disapprove that piece of
legislation and the manner of its en-
" actment. If the reception of the Roose
velt and Hughea speeches on the sub-
' Ject are any Indication of popular
sentiment.
WILL BE REBUILT
MACKA V PROJECT, NEAR BOISE, IS
REVIVED.
Plana Are Modified So as to Make
Construction Safe and Land
Board Approves.
BOISE, Idaho. Oct. 7. (Special.)
The Mackay dam, above the town of
Mackay, for years a bone of conten
tion, in politics, is going to be built.
The State Engineer has approved the
revised plans and the State Land Board
has accepted them. - The Utah Con
struction Company, which controls the
dam site, has started work on the
structure. Behind this dam water will
be Impounded for the Big Lost River
irrigation project.
This project has also played a con
spicuous part in the life of the state,
many settlers who took land under
it having been forced to leavq It be
cause the promoting company became
financially embarrassed and later
.failed. In time the Utah Construction
Company purchased the project at a
forced, sale. - The citizens of Mackay
protested against the use of . the old
dam site for the new dam, on the
ground it was unsafe and will endanger
all of the property and lives at Mackay.
Finally the proposed plans of. the
Utah Construction Company were sub
mitted to J. P. Lippincott. a prominent
California engineer, who criticised
them. To meet this criticism the plans
. were revised. The State Engineer rec
ommended their approval and the Land
JBoard adopted the recommendations.
FRUITS WILL BE SHOWN
Vegetables and Flowers to Share in
CorvaUis Honors.
" CORVALLIS, Or., Oct. 7. Oregon
fruits, vegetables and flowers will . be
assembled in their choicest forms and
exhibited in arrangements that best
display their varied and attractive
qualities at the third annual horticul
tural show to be held in the men's
gymnasium at the Agricultural College
on November and 4. .
"This show will be the largest and
best ever held at the college," said
Professor C. I. Lewis, chief of the nor
tlcultural division, "and . an attempt
will be made to make it comprehensive
enough to- afford visitors u fairly ade
quate Idea of the wonderful scope and
character of our horticultural re
sources.. . Our state, section exhibits
last year with students from different
parts of the state competing for the
most creditable exhibits brought to
gether some splendid displays, and
with .that experience to guide, results
should be much better this year. Grow
ers throughout the state are Invited to
co-operate ' with students from their
districts In collecting exhibits that
show their horticultural possibilities."
.. In addition to Oregon products, col
lections will be on display from other
states and from some foreign coun
tries. The suo-troplcal collections con
stitute features of interest. Packing,
storage and shipping methods, with
cold storage, grading and packing de
vices, contribute to the educational
features. Student contests -in prepar
ing exhibits,' determining varieties,
packing for shipping and other like
features serve to bring, out the great
value of right methods of handling.
The horticultural show is said to be
a big factor in developing Oregon horticulture.
RAILROAD DEAL PENDS
COOS BAY RESIDENTS AWAITWG
ARRIVAL OF CONTRACTOR.
Announcement That Lin Would Be
Bni It to Rosebarg Is Expeoted
to Be Verified Soon.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct. 7. (Spe
cial.) The expected visit of George
Volckroan to Coos Bay is regarded her
as significant, because of his connec
tions with railroad builders. Mr.
Volckman it a nephew of Sir Robert
Perks, probably the greatest .general
contractor in the world. The Perks
company hat, constructed railroads
docks and harbor improvements all
over the world, and has been particu
larly active in the West Indies and
South America. The American branch
of the Perks Company, the MaoArtbur
& Perks Company, Limited, financed
and was ready to build the Willamette-Pacific
Railroad, when the South
ern Paclfio purchased the rights and
ownership of the road. The MacArthur
& Perks Company, however, got the
contract of building the railroad.
Mr. Volckman, In 1911, when the Willamette-Pacific
was projected, was
among the first of the MacAxthus&
Perks people on the ground and came
after all the surveys were made and
passed, as a consulting engineer, on
the line and recommended that It be
financed.
An announcement was made here
four months ago by W. J. Wilsey. that
another railroad would be constructed
between Coos Bay and Roseburg. Mr.
Wilsey was the forerunner of the Willamette-Pacific.
But Mr.- Wilsey's
people sold out to the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and timbermen, who are in
terested in obtaining a seaport outlet
for their lumber have arranged that
there will be no bargaining in the pro
posed railroad .between - Roseburg and
Coos Bay, and. from information con
sidered the best, the new road will not
belong to the Southern Pacific.
MEDFORD RAISES $1223
PROCEEDS OK BIO SALE! WILL GO
TO' WOUNDED FRENCH SOLDIERS.
Special Object of Oregon Generosity
Will Be Reckitt Johnston Hos
pital, Near Parts.
MEDFORD. Or.. Oct. 7. (Special.)
The grand market and rummage sale
held in Medford last week for the ben
efit of wounded French soldiers made a
net profit of more than $1200 in two
days. It Is believed that this sets a
new high record in war relief for any
community in the country no larger
than Medford.
The total receipts, according to the
report of John Orth, treasurer, amount
ed to $1343.84, expenses $122.01. net
profit $1223.83. A check for this amount
will be sent this week to the Reckitt
Johnstone Hospital, near Paris, which
is maintained by Harold Reckitt. of
London, and Lady Johnstone, sister of
Gitford Plnchot. Mr. Reckitt Is a
brother-in-law of Miss Dorothy Con
ner, daughter of Mrs. Charles Conner,
of Jacksonville. Miss Conner was on
the Lusitania en route to Paris when
the liner was torpedoed off the Irish
coast, her narrow escape from death
causing quite a sensation on the Paclfio
Coast at that time.

CENTRALIA, Wash., Oct 7. (Spe
cial.) Testerday W. N. Beal. a local
attorney, appeared before the Lewis
County Commissioners In the interests
of prbperty owners with a petition to

and drain several hundred acres of ad
joining land.
The land in question lies north of
Centralla and extends to"" the Thurston
County line. It is of fine quality and
the owners are anxious to see work
started before the wet season opens.
The owners are willing to stand the
expense.
A similar petition was presented to
the Thurston County officials and met
with their approval. A date of hearing

ADAMSON LAW BOOMERANG

They Must Accept-
BY LAMAR TOOZE.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Oct. 7. Massa
chusetts, judged by the results of the
recent primary and by personal obser
vation and investigation, seems to be
partial to Hughes rather than Wilson
for President. When you stop to con
sider that there are only five other
states of the Union that have as many
votes in the electoral college as Massa
chusetts, you can more readily appre
ciate the Importance of annexing the
Bay State's 18 electoral votes.
Frederick W. Mansfield defeated
General Charles H. Cole for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor de
spite the fact that Cole was backed
by old-line Democrats of the type of
ex-Governor Walsh and ex-Mayor Fitz
gerald, of Boston. Mansfield condueted
an independent campaign and his can
didacy was supported more particularly
by the laboring class the silent vote.
The nomination of Mansfield was a
severe rebuff to the machine leaders
and indicates a breakdown in the Dem
ocratic state organization. It has di
vided though prominent leaders like
Walsh and Fitzgerald are trying to
conceal it the Democratic party into
two Inharmonious camps.
National Campaign Sanffers.
The National campaign will undoubt
edly suffer as a result of this schism
in the ranks, a fact which has been
freely admitted by leading newspapers
of Boston and the state at large.
Although a Democrat sat in the Gov
ernor's chair at the Statehous for
three terms prior to the election of
Samuel W. McCall In 115. Massachu
setts ordinarily is strongly Republican.
In 1908 Taft swept the state by a ma
jority of 110,000. Wilson polled the
state's electoral votes in 1912 by 17.000
votes over Taft, his nearest rival. Taft
and Roosevelt together received nearly
800,000 votes, as against 173.000 for
Wilson. The Republicans and Progres
sives, from all surface Indications, are
reunited and will face Democracy No
vember 7 with a solid front.
Conversations with laboring men
both In Cambridge and Boston have
convinced me that the Adamson law has
proved to be somewhat of & political
boomerang to President Wilson. In the
first place the laboring men object to
the limiting of the law to railway
trainmen, most of whom, they realize,
are already receiving much higher
wages than laborers employed In other
occupations. They do not challenge the
merits of the proposition that trainmen
are entitled to higher wages, but they
feel that discrimination should not be
mads in favor of one class of laborers
as against other classes.
Principle Applies Two Ways.
They say that if anyone is entitled
to higher wages and shorter hours It
is the man who wields the pick and
shovel or who is employed in a highly
specialized factory, where chances ' of
advancement are slight. In the second
place they, argue that the principle laid
down in the Adamson law will work
both ways: If Congress can tell tne
employers what they shall par. it can
likewise tell the laboring men what
tney snail accept.

FORT WORTH. Tex, Oct. 7. (Spe

day entitled "The American Farmer
and His Government.' H. N. Pope,
president of the Association of Stat
Farmers' Union Presidents, favors
protection on all agricultural products,
declares tbat bo oountry can thrive
half protected and half free, insists
that there Is no such thing as a hy
phenated tariff and asks that cotton
be protected by a U-cent minimum
loan from the Government.
The memorial .says in part:
"The Southern cotton farmer, in de
manding tbat Congress empower the
Federal Reserve Board to fix and pro
tect a 12-cent per pound minimum loan
price on cotton advances no new doc
trine In Government, for it has been
the policy of this Nation ever since
we have had a Nation to protect home
Industries. Cotton is our only agri
cultural product that cannot be helped
by a protective tariff, and must, there
fore, seek other means of protection.
"The cotton producer is the only
class of fanners who has always been
compelled to sell what he produced on
a free market and buy what he con
sumed on a protected market, and as
a consequence the cotton fields of the
South have more tenants, more pov
