Benson Lost to Party Due to Bad Cold Which Necessitat ed Return to Portland. HARRISBURG MEETING GOOD Speakers Bring Home Telling Ar guments In Favor of Raising Lump Sum for Improvement of Oregon Main Highways. BT ADDISON BENNETT. EUGENE, Or.. May 26. (Special.) The road bond party were -unfortunate enough to lose the services of Mr. Ben ton, who returned to Portland by an early train yesterday for medical at tention, as he was suffering from a severe cold and throat trouble. He will be missed very much for Just his pres ence on the rostrum before an audi ence always makes votes: add to this the clear exposition he makes of the law, and his explanation of what the commission will probably do. and It is found that he is the best card the cam paigners have or can get. The meeting yesterday morning was at Harrisburg. Senator Cusick was In charge and made the principal speech, but C J. Butler, Commissioner of Linn County, made a fine talk. A. M. Pryor acted' as master of ceremonies. The meeting was well attended and the party say several wavering voters were won over. K'o Opponents Found. The meeting last night was held In the splendid rooms of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. I E. Bean, of this city, presided. He Introduced Jay Bowerman as the first speaker, and the tx-Governor never made a better speech than he did tonight. It was clear, con vincing, orderly and logical. He tied his pleas together . In one compact whole, and from first to last he seemed to have his audience with him. At the close of his speech Senator Bean Invit ed any opponent of the bill present who wished to talk to take the floor. There was no further response than a number of questions, which it soon de veloped were asked by those favoring the bill. The next speaker was Julian Hurley, State Senator from Malheur, Harney and Grant Counties. The Senator is a fine speaker. He had Just arrived from his home district where lie had at tended many road meetings. He told of one held at John Day, a town of perhaps not more than 250 people, yet more than 600 came to the meeting and not a single one was opposed to the bill. He gave other incidents going to show that the far-eastern part of the state Is practically unanimous for the bonds. Senator Julian is a fine talker and one whose arguments carry con viction. Chris Schuebel Called In. Chris Schuebel. of Clackamas, was next called upon. Mr. Schuebel is In town visiting a daughter attending the university. He was feeling pretty sore and didn't care who knew it. for in his. trip from Oregon City in his auto he had run into a mudhole at a point near Jefferson. There was a jagged plank in this mudhole and It ruined a tire, thereby setting' him back $32. 50, and the Clackamas gentleman figures that would pay several times his share of the $6,000,000 bond issue, even if it was to be paid by a direct tax. As good a line as any of us could get on the sentiment of the audience showed that practically all were in favor of the bonds. There was one ex ception Allen Eaton, for some reason that his fellow townsmen cannot fath om, is opposed to the bond issue, but he did not have the courage to stand up and give his reasons to the audi ence when so invited. But members of the aadience who know the sentiments of the Eugene people pretty well say that Mr. Eaton is not gathering much of a following in his campaign against the bonds. 37 IN GRANTS PASS CLASS Five Enlisted Members Are Not Present to Receive Diplomas.
