DR. L0VEJ0Y INTRODUCES
Candidate Believes Women Will
Break Way From Party arid
Hunt for Principle.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic
nominee for vice-president of the
United States, predicted a victory for
tiie bourbons in Oregon in November,
on his arrival in this city last night.
Y Before a perspiring- crowd at the city
auditorium he outlined the reasons
which gave him confidence that a
state which has been staunchly re
publican in the past would swing into
Cox-Roosevelt band wagon. The
first of these reasons was given as
the passing away of rigid partisan
ship in the United States. The sec
ond, he insisted was that the Ameri
can people would not succumb to
what he was pleased to term the
'lies or misstatements" of the re
publican leaders.
Faithful Are on Hand.
A 6mall group of the faithful
greeted Roosevelt at the Union sta
tion when his train pulled in at 7:45.
Among them were Dr. C. J. Smith,
state chairman of the democratic
central committee; Dr. .J. W. Morrow,
Dr. E. T. Hedlund, Frank Stott Myers,
Milton i A. Miller of Portland, and
Hugh McLain of Marshfield.
The candidate was still irl the din
ing car. When he had finished din
ner, he was whisked to the Multno
mah hotel and from there to the
auditorium. Dr. Morrow presided at
the meeting and the speaker was in
troduced by Dr. Esther Fohl Lovtjoy.
The arrival of Mr. Roosevelt -ln
Portland last night Instead, of yes
terday morning was the outcome of
a change of schedule which elim
inated plans of the candidate to
speak in Salem, Woodburn and Ore-
Kon City during the day, returning
to Portland at night.
Organ Programme In Given.
Frederick Goodrich played a pro
gramme of patriotic organ numbers
while the audience gathered for the
meeting. Decorations for the candi
date were confined to a single gigan
tic American flag that formed the
back curtain for the stage, and chairs
for 125 federal officials and their
friends were placed on the stage.
Chairman Morrow first introduced
Arthur Johnson, who led the audience
in singing the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner." Mr. Johnson then sang a solo.
Judge Marks of Ohio was the first
speeaker introduced and Dr. Morrow
fcaid that he would tell of his record
overseas, where he was wounded, but
this he declined to do and led off
with a recital of the war work of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, whom he por
trayed as having accompanied the
submarine chasers in guarding the
convoys across the Atlantic, inspect
ing the mines laid by the American
I navy in the North sea, and as having
I been at Chateau Thierry with the
marines.
AVar Record lit Reviewed. ,
Then he took occasion to call Gov
ernor Cox the "Barefoot Jimmy" of
his admiring friends in Ohio. He
credited Cox with bringing to Ohio
such reforms as the direct primary
and Initiative and referendum.
Following the auditorium meeting
'the candidate was greeted on the
stage by the local party leaders and
was then escorted again to the Mult
nomah hotel, where he shook hands

Pedigreed Jersey Valued at $2 500,
Aggressor, Gets Limit When
Guernsey Is Aroused.
TILLAMOOK, Or, Aug. 21. (Spe
cial.) Two blooded and pedigreed
bulls, one St. Mawes II, a Jersey, and
the other an equally aristocratic
Guernsey, fought a battle royal on the
ranch of George Williams, near here,
a few nights ago, which resulted in
the death of St. Mawes II from
wounds inflicted by the Guernsey.
The Jersey, it appeared, had been
the aggressor. The two animals were
quartered separately in a large barn.
In the night St. Mawes II broke out
of his quarters and into those of the
Guernsey. There ,wag challenge in
his voice and his de'fi was taken up
quickly. Attracted by the thud-thud
of heavy horns striking heavier
bodies and the enraged bellowing of
the animals, the people on the ranch
rushed forth In time to see St. Mawes
II hurled to the ground, his body
pierced in a dozen places where the
horns of the Guernsey had struck
him. He soon died of his wounds.
The Guernsey's Injuries were not
serious.
St. Mawes II was valued at J2500.
He was sired by St- Mawes I, once
voted one of the ten best bulls in the
world. St. Mawes II was owned by
W. S. Hare of Tillamook.
EXPLOSION KILLS MINERS
Two Men Dead and Eight More

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. (Special.)
It is no news to say that the presi
dential campaign is lagging. The
reasons for this lagging go straight
to the heart of conditions, In the two
parties.
One reason lies in the personalities
of the two candidates. Neither Cox
nor Harding has as compelling per
sonality as we have become accus
tomed to in presidential campaigns.
In every presidential campaign for
24 years past either Bryan or Roose
velt or Wilson has been a candidate,
and sometimes two of them have been
candidates. Each of these men had a
larger quantity of personality than
either Cox or Harding, and we have
become accustomed to the "person
ality standard," so to speak, of these
three men. It is not in either Harding
or Cox to focus the public eye on, or
to inject as much excitement Into, a
presidential campaign as was injected
by each of the other three during
every campaign within the memory
of most voters.
That alone might be explanation
enough, but there are others.
Republicans Mlnmtely Organized,
The republican party management
is perfectly wlllinB.Jto.Eee the cam
palgn seem to lag. I say "seem to
lag." From the republican point of
view the campaign is not lagging at
all. There is an abundance of activ
ity, organized on a local basis, which
the public as a whole does not notice.
For example, the entire lower house
of congress is to be elected this fall,
435 members in each of these 435
congressional districts. Kxcept in
the solid south the republicans are
conducting an aggressive local cam
paign. In fact, they are conducting
aggressive campaigns in a few dis
tricts in the solid couth as well,
where they consider they have some
chance of making a breach in that
wall. The republicans anticipate that
they are going to give the democrats
a surprise in some southern congres
sional districts.
This congressional campaign of the
republicans is organized much more
thoroughly and is being conducted
much more aggressively than is real
ized either by the country as a whole
or by the democratic party manage
ment.
Hardly any standard of efficiency
could excel the minuteness with
which the republicans are handling
this congressional situation. I know
of a district where the republican
national party management has elim
inated one republican contestant for
congress because he w,as too elow
going and substituted for him a can
didate who is more of a live wire
Army of Speakers Functioning,
xne aggregate oi an these con
gressional campaigns la one of the
chief things the republicans rely
upon. Naturally, every voter who. is
stimulated to come out and vote fo
a local republican . for congress will
also, presumably, yte for the republl
can candidate lor president.
This and a multitude of othe

Guy W. Talbot and F. T. Griffith,
of Portland Preparing for De
velopments in Northwest,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Aug. 21. Conferences
were resumed before the federal water"
power commission today to prepare
the way for developing the water
power resources of the northwest.
Guy W. Talbot, president of the
Pacific Power & Light company, with
1 power interests both east and west
of the Cascades, accompanied by F. T.
ui iLutu, president or xne t ortianu
Railway. Light & Power company of
Portland, returned to Washington to
day for further conference with fed
eral officials in regard to preliminary
work on rules and regulations.
When the session- closed last Sat
urday it was thought that the power
companies' committees need not re
turn to Washington until October,
but in perfecting the rules and regu
lations construing: and administering
the law further conferences were
found necessary, and it now appears
that the committees will have to be
here at frequent intervals. The two
northwestern men probably will have
to stay most of next week, and. at
least one of them may have to return
at more frequent intervals than was
at first thought necessary.
It is clear that to get the great
water-power problem worked out in
a practical manner and yet give the
protection to public interests required
by the law much time will be Involved
for officials and private interests.

INTERPRETS PICTORIALLY SOME RECENT
Tliousands of Dollars Worth of
Gasoline Consumed by Stoves
That Aid Distilleries.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 21. (Spe
iia.) Donald A. McDonald, federal
prohibition director for Washington,
announced today that he has esti
mated the number of illicit stills in
the state, preparatory to a campaign
by his agents, and is convinced there
are between 8000 and 10,000 stills In
operation.
iir. Aicuonaia returnea irom a staio
inspection trip yesterday.
Gasoline stoves, Mr. McDonald as
serted,are In almost universal use
among the distillers. The amount of
gasoline used In these stoves, he said,
amounted to several thousands of gal
lons a month.
At least 2500 of the 10,000 stills, Mr.
Donald estimated, are in King county.
Pierce county, he estimates, harbors1
1500, Grays Harbor county is third
with 700 and Kittitas county fourth
with an estimated 400 stills.
The " eastern portion of the state,
Mr. Donald said, has a very small
proportion of the total number of Il
licit distilleries, due probably to the
absence of heavy timber. Eastern
Washington is partial to the corn
variety of "moonshine," while west
ern Washington manufactures prin
cipally "grapo," he said.
The stills, Mr. McDonald said, are
using an annual approximate amount
of sugar estimated at 48,000,200
pounds.

expected that shippers will take these
matters up in the first Instance with
the carriers and the latter will be

The carriers in this instance com
plied with the provisions of the Ore

increased rates to become effective
upon the statutory ten days' notice,
subject, however, to the state commis
sion's authority to suspend such
tariffs If, after Investigation, suffi

shown to exist.
Advice of Shippers followed.
The Oregon public service commis
sion, after a conference on the sub
ject held In Portland, deemed it ad
visable to follow the consensus or
opinion as expressed by Important
shippers and representatives of the
railroads and state by following the
action taken by the interstate com
mission and permitting the tariffs to
become effective in the regular way
as provided in the railroad act and
that any irregularities or inequalities
be adjusted later."
The action of the Oregon public
service commission is in line with
that followed by most of the state
commissions throughout the United
States and is in accord with the
urgent suggestion made by the three
commissioners who sat with the In
terstate commerce commission at the
hearing of the recent rat case.
The Oregon commission in pursu
ing this course made it plain that its
action in no way establishes the rea-

5 0-Acre Burn Not Yet Under Con

gers Reported.
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 21. (Special.)
A camper, whose negligence with
reference to his campfire started a
forest fire in the Santiam national
forest, Is being compelled by the
rangers who discovered it to stay on
the ground and help fight the blaze,
according to word received at head
quarters here today. In addition he
may be prosecuted. The camper's
name was not given in the report.
This forest fire is the one which
started three days ago near Lake
Jorn, between Marion lake and Three
Fingered Jack, near the summit of
the mountains. It has covered about
50 acres and is yet burning, but is
not making great progress though
not yet under control.
No new fires were reported today,
and the fire on Canyon creek, near
Cascadia, was definitely reported out.
This leaves nine fires yet burning in
the forest. Six of these, however.
are under control and only smoulder
ing, and It is probable one of these
is out now, but no definite word to
that effect has been received,
though a lookout has reported no
further smoke. Of the three not fully
under control two are reported prac
tically subdued.

OLYMPIC STADIUM. Antwerp. Aug.
21- (By the Associated Press.) The
title of the world's best all-round
athlete lies tonight between Brutus
K. Hamilton, of the University of .
Missouri . and Captain Helge Love
land, of tie Norwegian army, who
were well ahead in the Olympic
decathlon. So few points separated
that a recount of the points al
lotted will be necessary before the
world officially knows who is the
better man, but it appears that the
Norwegian has a slight advantage in
the ten events.
Whoever is awarded the cup do
nated by the late Russian emperor
and which Jim Thorpe had to forfeit
at Stockholm to Weislander of Swed
en in 1912 because of the charge of
professionalism, there is so little dif
ference that both Hamilton and Love
land may be justly proud of their
laurels.
I.ovrlnnd'M Form Conalatrnt.
Although Loveland failed to score
a single first, he made equally good
time with several others in the
dashes and his performances in the
high jump, pole vault, the 1500-meter
and the shotput and discus were so
consistent he obtained second, third
or fourth. He thus apparently out
pointed Hamilton, who won first in
the shotput and the 100 meters and
did well in the broad jump, the javelin
and discus, but got only seventh in
the 1500 meters and 11th in the high
jump.
At the finish of the 1500 meters, the
tenth event in the two days, Hamilton
fairly staggered into the arms of
friends and was assisted off the field.
In addition to Hamilton's bitter
two-days' battle to defeat Loveland.
other American athletes made an ex
cellent showing during a cold, raw
eight-hour competition in the other
events. Six places for 21 points were
completed in three finals today. These
consisted of first and second in the
56-pound weight; third and fifth In
the 3000-meter walk and fifth and
sixth in the hop. step and jump.
