Hardy, One of Survi vors of Expedition to Japan, la Actively Working In Behalf of Republican Victory. One. of the most active workers in the Hughes and Fairbanks campaign is Captain W. H. Hardy, veteran of many wars and one of the two eur vlvors of Commodore Perry's original expedition to Japan in 1S53. Captain Hardy not only has written a campaign song that has stirred up much enthusiasm among those who have heard it, but he has written con vincing letters to his old friends ap pealing to them to vote for the Re publican candidates. "I don't see how any warm-blooded American can ever vote for another Democratic President after the acts of thi3 Administration," he wrote recently to Anson Greenwood, of Chlco, Cal., an old shipmate of the early days of the United States Navy. "They claim that they have kept us out of war, but they cannot make you and me old sailors who sailed on the first steam frigate belonging to the United States to circle the globe be lieve that." Reciting the Vera Cruz battle, he said: "They were sent there to get a salute to our flag. Our men were shot down and Mexican soil was stained with their blood. "Now, Brother Anson Greenwood. I ask you as an old shipmate if this was not an act of war? "If you should be inclined to vote for the re-election of Mr. Wilson, 1 beg of you as an old shipmate to look at Vera Cruz and consider when our ships were recalled from there that they did not get what they went there for, and when they sailed from there, there was a stain on Old Glory which will have to be vindicated some time, sooner or later. "It was the first time in otrr history that a squadron of the American Navy was sent on any mission that they did not get. Captain Hardy's original campaign song, which is sung to the tune "Hold the Fort," has won much favor at Re publican meetings throughout the state, and has been ' indorsed by the Hughes campaign managers. It fol lows: Everywhere I hear them cheering. Onward to the fray, hout hurrah for Hughes and Fairbanks; They will win the day. Onward, onward, comrades, onward, We will clear the way. With our leaders. Hughe and Fairbanks On election day. See our foes in ranks approaching. Comrades, courage all. We'll sweep them all before us With our battle call. Lone- and fierce the well-fought battle. Victory is nigh. Courage, we will triumph, o'er them; bound the battle cry. Lift our floating banners high, Kcho loud the campaign cry. " Let It on the breeze be borne, Hughes, Fairbanks and reform. Honest men shall form our lines With flags and banners freely flying. We'll trample down corruption's arm. And vote for Hughes, Fairbanks and reform. We'll vote to protect our tariff then: We 11 keep cheap laDor irom our iana; Tlien on every housetoo will be borne The flag of Hughes, Fairbanks and reform. And honesty once more shell reign: Our land no more shall droop In shame; Prosperity- will be reborn And be the briirht gem of reform.

ROUTE USED HALF CENTURY Property Owner of Largo District Are. Signing Petitions to Con tinue , Road Improve ments Are Projected. "The Albina Business Men's Club and the residents of Upper Albina are pre paring to make a determined fight to keep open and maintain Vancouver avenue as a public highway to the In terstate bridge, and will resist any at tempt to close up any portion of the avenue," said M. H. Calef, secretary of the club, yesterday. Several months ago the club ascer tained that the present Commissioners had agreed to close up Vancouver avenue on completion of the Interstate bridge and the Union-avenue approach. and a strong committee was appointed to circulate a remonstrance. This work is still In progress and will continue for some time to come, said Mr. Calef. He said that the petition is being signed by all resident and property owners for many blocks on either side of the avenue demanding that it be kept open and that arrangements be made to repair the roadway from "the Columbia boulevard to a connection riUh',.y Proteat Strongly Backed. I don't know how many have signed the petitions." said Mr. Calef, "but they are coming in constantly. The heaviest property owners are. back of this movement. To close up Vancouver- avenue approach to the Interstate bridge, as promised by the present Commissioners, would be a calamity. and will not be allowed by the resi dents. Vancouver avenue has been a pub lic highway for more than half a een- tury between Portland and Vancouver. It Is the geographical center of this district. Just why the Commissioners ever agreed to its being closed when the Interstate bridge is finished seems Incredible, but I understand that the promise was made in exchange for rights-of-way for the Union-avenue approach. "In the face of the protests of more than 20,000 persons, it can hardly be done, however. We shall need all the approaches to the Interstate bridge we can get when the bridge is finished. Portland Residents Aid. "We expect to wait tintil after the election to file our petitions with the County Commissioners, and take what- ever action may be required to prevent the closing of tnla highway," con- tlnued Secretary Calef. ,"Uany prom- lnent residents of Portland have inter ested themselves and have volunteered to give us help in this movement. We hope to show the Commission ers the need of keeping Vancouver avenue, but the property owners of the district are preparing to resist In every way the closing of the avenue. W don't think that such an old-established road as Vancouver avenue can legally be olosed up and turned over to pri vate ownersnip.'

Light & Power Company and the future of the jitney in general were discussed before the Clvio League yes terday noon at the Multnomah Hotel. F. S. Myers, president, presided. F. L Fuller, vice-president of the streetcar company, spoke for that com pany, saying the present agitation is merely a demand for fair play for the trolley lines. Regulations as to paving streets, giving transfers, running on regular schedules, serving distant por tions of the city at the same low fare that is paid to close-in points these were declared to be essentials for th jltneys If they are to be allowed to compete with the street railway lines. He pointed out that it is expensive for his company to carry passengers on the longer lines, as, for example, that to St. Johns, where, he said, the rev enue for each passenger carried ia only 6 cents, whereas the actual cost of hauling each passenger is really 8 cents. Arthur I. Moulton, attorney for the Jitney Interests, held that the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company was, up to two years ago, when jitneys ap peared on Portland streets, wholly In different to the comfort or welfare of patrons of Its city lines. He said cars were jammed beyond the point of com fort and that service was bad. Commissioners Daly and Dieck were present and answered questions as to developments in the Jitney situation.
