JUDGE McCAMANT TALKS
Dotr Walker Also Speaks
Republican Club Men
Women Turn Out.
Before
and
A LEANT, Or., March 27. (Special.)
Judge Wallace McCaraant of Port
land delivered a splendid address be
fore the recently organized Albany
.Republican club here last evening in
the first political meeting of the year
in Albany. Dow V. Walker of Port
land also spoke at the meeting In the
interest of the presidential candidacy
cf General Leonard Wood, whose cam
paign he is managing In Oregon.
Senator K. I. Cusick, president of the
club, presided and introduced the
speakers.
The meeting was held In the circuit
court room of the Linn county court
house and there was a large attend
ance. If last night's meeting is any
criterion there, will be plenty of in
terest in the campaign here this year.
During the last few years political
meetings In Albany have not aroused
much Interest and attendance has
been small, but at last evening's meet
ing many people, both men and
women, were present and there was
considerable enthusiasm.
Address la Kajoyrd.
In an address which the audience
5 thoroughly enjoyed, and which was
frequently 'applauded. Judge Mc-
J Camant portrayed the incompetency
1 of the administration during the war.
Quoting tacts and figures, he said
' that not only was the country un
? prepared for war, but that it was not
' much better prepared, due to official
) ,Aungling, in many respects by the
time the armistice was signed. He
told of the waste of $48,000,000 in
' spruce production operations in Ore
s' gon and gave examples of similar in-
competency in other lines of work
i because men unfamiliar with the lines .
of work they were trying to handle
were placed in important positions.
The speaker aroused considerable
merriment in telling of the award of
distinguished service medals to many
administration favorites who saw
swivel chair service only, including
General Dque. He told of the rapid
promotions in the "army ot the Yeon"
and said it reminded liiin of the
couplet in Tinafore: "Just stay at
home and never go to sea and some
day you'll be ruler of the queen's
navee."
WilNon In Scored.
Judso JloCamant said that President
Wilson was in favor of self-determination
of other peoples, but not the
American people because he "wanted
the representatives of the people in
the senate to have no part in con
sidering the treaty be brought back
from Paris, but wanted it adopted
without the dotting of an "i" or the
crossing of a "t." He spoke of the
president's obstinacy in many ways
and commented upon his requirement
of a rubber-stamp cabinet. Quoting
from Mr. Wilson's speeches, he illus
trated his inconsistency on matters
affecting the war and before and after
the war, dealing humorously with the-
president's famous announcement that
"politics is adjourned," followed in a
few months by his demand for the
election of a democratic congress.
The speaker contrasted the course
of President Lincoln in promptly get
ting rid of an Incompetent secretary
of war when the Civil war began and
placing in office a man of an oppos
ing party, with that of President Wil
son, who, the speaker said, found i
TJtnk tea pacifist on his bands as
secretary of. war when the war be
gan, but kept Dim because be was a
rubber stamp and answered the Wil
son test of loyalty to Wilson rather
than competency.
Judge WcCamant closed his address
with a comparison of the course of
opposition of the democrats, even In
the north, to the civil war when their
party was not in power and that of
the republican party during the re
cent war when its members were
leaders in war work of all kinds
though the president tried to make It
strictly a partisan affair so far as of'
Xicial positions were concerned.
FIVE CENT EIRE TO STAY
SEATTLE NOT TO MAKE RISE
EXCEPT AT EAST KESOKT.
Mayor Caldwell Sticks to Pre-elec
tion Utterances; Economies
Will Be Practiced.
SEATTLE. Wash., March 27. (Spc
cial.) Until all other means have
been tried out to get the municipal
street railway system out of debt
and put it on a paying basis, the
5-cent fare should continue and it
should only be raised as a last re
sort. This attitude wu expressed by
Mayor Caldwell and D. W. Henderson,
new general superintendent of rail
ways, in speaking before several hun
dred persons at the chamber of com
merce. "I am not satisfied that the rais
ing of the fare presents the solution
of our street railway troubles," said
Mayor Caldwell. "That has been tried
elsewhere and Increased fare have
not always resulted in increased rev
enue. We must first consider -economies.
This administration has cut
off 36.000 from the transit system
payroll and that means a lot of nick
els. We have also laid off 12 aliens
at one of the hops. By strict man
agement and no attempt to do any
thing but run the system along eco-
tiomiml, businesslike lines, certain
other cuts or economies may be pos
sible. "I had much to say about the street
railway system before election and
now I have nothing to retract. We
find that between January 1 and my
inauguration there were 21 cars
junked and the equipment today con
sists of some good, some Indifferent
and some bad rolling Mock. The item
of depreciation must be investigated
and we must at the same time realize
that some new equipment must be
purchased."
The abolishing of the transfer sys
tem, except on certain lines which do
not bring people into the business dis
trict, may be one way to help avoid
an increase In street carfares, said
Mr. Henderson.
ilr. Henderson commented on what
he called a lack of harmony among
' the system's employes and said he
would try and get interest- revived
and would initiate a new accident
prevention programme.

CHURCH ADOPTS BUDGET
La Grande Presbyterians to Run on
Busincs Basis.
LA GRANDE. Or., Marcli 27. (Spe
cial.) Following the suggestion made
by their pastor. Rev. Jamoji A. Smith,
the Presbyterian church has decided
to do away with all church suppers,
bazaars, cooked food sales and other
means of raising money, and to run
the church on a businesslike basis.
As a forerunner to the new method
of financing a religious institution,
the trustees of the church met and
made out a budget system and de
cided that the best way to raise the j
money necessary to carry on the work
was by subscription among the mem
bers. Accordingly, many of the mem
bers have been asked to increase their
weekly giving, and the trustees hope
that when the total subscriptions are
received the church may pay its bills
each month, just as any business con
cern does.

Fund Being Collected for Educa
tional Purpose and to Eight
Triple Alliance.
VAXCOUVER, Wash., March 27.
(Special.) Politics in this county is I
beginning to simmer and the republi

every local state and national office.

poses is being collected and a strong
fight against the triple alliance will
be made. It is believed the demo

will not count. This country four
years ago went strong for Charles
Evans Hughes, and no doubt will go
the same way this fall.

this county, who has been sent to I
Olympia for several years, may enter
the race for lieutenant-governor, but
he is not yet reaqy to announce his
candidacy.

legislature practically continuously i
tor the past 20 years, will enter the
