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.
