BINGER HERMANN AT PORTLAND Congressman Bineer Hermann ad dressed a large and enthusiastic gath ering at Portland Saturday evening under th auspices of the Portland Republican Club. Following is a few pointed extracts from his speech: Not only will we show in November that we are up to the standard with 23,000 plurality, but we will add 7000 new Republican votes to the Old Guard for a grand total of 30.000 ballots to spare for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There is no state in the Union that asks so much, needs so much, deserves so much and receive so much from the Government as Oregon. We owe a debt of gratitude for services ren dered which we should pay. The Lewis and Clark appropriation was largely the result of the personal effort of the President and we should show our thanks. Between Roose velt and Parker it is easy to choose. We take the one who has been tried and is not found wanting. Judge Parker accuses the Repub lican party of extravagance and prom ises to put on the brakes. That alone should doom him to defeat. What would become of our river and har bor improvements; our arid land re clamation? This is a billion-dollar country, and needs billion-dollar ap propriations. There is no doubt but that we are better off today than eight years ago, and it is our duty to support the band that feeds us Democrats oppose everything, but whenever you have a Democratic Ad ministration you have a deficit in the treasury, bond issues and bank fail ures. Republicanism means pros perity and good times, high wages and low interest. AMI LAND TRIBUNE S POSITION. The Ashland Tribune is one among the very few country papers of this state, which is taking a. decided stand on the local option question, the press generally recognizing the fact that during the campaign in June and since that time the voters have become pretty well educated on this question and have about made up their minds as to how they will vote in November, hence there is little use in stirring up strife and bitter feeling over the matter. However, the Tribune takes the following radi cal view of it: "While Jackson coun ty at large may vote against the local option measure the Ashland precincts should carry by a good majority. The unprecedented progress of the city under the no-saloon policy has un doubtedly convinced hundreds of the fallacy that saloons make business good. Shall we vote away the fea tures which attract the most desira ble class of citizens by announcing to the world that Ashland with an alti tude of 2000 feet above sea level, has a moral elevation even higher, which places it above the sordid con siderations which control so many municipalities." POOR PARKER, SAYS WATSON. Tom Watson finds in the visit of ex-Senator Jones, of Arkansas, to Esopus occasion for the first burst of pity for the Democratic candidate: "Poor Parker! His burdens were al ready heavy. Too much Cleveland, too much Hill, too much Belmont, too much McCarran, too many slights put on Tom Taggart, too much Gorman, too much juggling with the old Eng lish language, too much foxiness gen erally but when Jones, of Arkansas, rolled up, we could almost see the same old pick and spade and shovel with which he dug the graves for the Democratic national candidate in the memorable campaigns of 1896 and 1900." In truth, it was hard that the judge should have to endure a visit from the first Democratic na- tional grave digger a month previous to his political decease. NOBODY SCARED. Parker says if he is elected he will cut off the old soldiers' age disability pension by revoking order 78. Hut the old soldier don't seem to be the least bit scared! Parker says he is in favor of pro ceeding "with due diligence" in con structing the Panama canal, but he thinks the Roosevelt way was a source of regret to many." Put Roosevelt is not troubled. And Parker says that the manage ment of our foreign affairs has "ex cited serious apprehension in some quarters. Put the American people are not among the apprehensive. Then. Parker is in a bad way about imperialism." but the citizens of the United States only smiles when they hear that word. Also, Parker is distressed over the poor Filipinos, but the Filipinos con tinue to learn to read, write and ciph er, while they live on three meals a day and "talk American." A DEMOCRATIC CONTRADICTION. The following is an interesting il lustration of the way Democrats say tnmgs iney uon t oeneve, or the way they let a few of their members offi cially express for them as a collective whole views that later on they can unofficially and individually repudiate The Democratic platform says "Wc denounce protection as a rob bery of the many to enrich the few." James J. Walsh, chairman of the Democratic state committee of Con necticut, says, according to "Ray mond," of the Chicago Tribune: "No one believes in free trade nowadays if for no other reason than because the tariff is the easiest way of rais ing revenue, and the taxation is felt less than by any other system." I'nited States Senator Charles W Fulton delivered an eloquent address to a large audience at the Roseburg opera house last Friday evening with telling effect. Senator Fulton was on his return to his home from Klamath Falls where he went to address the people on the presidential campaign Issues and look over the irrigation project the federal government has in view as well as the private enter prises carried on there. Senator Ful ton wishes to familiarize himself with the situation. He is in favor of the government's program as it is a com prehensive plan that will not onlv cover the wants of the present day but goes further and makes possible homes for the distant future. Boss Patrick H. McCarren has in directly conceded that Roosevelt wil carry New Vork by 50,000 to 60,000 In discussing what should be the proper betting odds between Higgins and Herrick, candidates for governor of New York, he said, it was an even thing, and immediately thereafter in answer to another question claimed that Higgins would run 50,000 or 60, 000 behind Roosevelt. Putting two and two together would indicate that there is no doubt in the boss' mind how New York will go in the nationa election. With the Santa Fe building along the coast from San Francisco to Eureka, or within 100 miles of the Oregon line, it begins to look as if our dream of a coast-wise road to Portland is about to be" realized. With two electric lines tapping a coast road at Coos Bay and Florence, South ern Oregon will develop rapidly. Jacksonville Times. An editor dreamed that he died and, of course, went to heaven and seeing a man chained to a post in quired if it was necessary to punish people that way in heaven. "That man," said St. Peter, "is from Oregon. We always have to keep Oregonians chained up for awhile in order to keep them from going back," says an ex change. ( A study of the criminal records makes it quite evident that lovely woman is the direct or indirect cause of more crime than King Alcohol, but who would think of starting a cru sade looking toward the prohibition of the fair sex by a local option amendment : The Democratic National Commit tee has taken the precaution to issue a double set of campaign buttons one gold for the east and one silver for the west and so the party as well as its leaders manages to face both ways. If there ista citizen of the United States anywhere who has too much business and too much employment and longs fo the stagnation that pre vailed fromly:i to 1896, he can contribute to that end by voting the Democratic ticket this year. The registration books were closed by County Clerk Zopher Agee Thurs day evening with a total of about 4,225 names enrolled. The registra tion in June was 4,105. Mr. G. A. Signalnese returned yester day from the Coquille river to look after his interests here. He has large timber holdings on that river and will, in the spring, engage in logging quite extensively.

Therefore, from a purely practical business, as well as political standpoint, it behooves Ore gon to get out a full vote or else it will appear that this state is retro gressing and is non-progressive while our northern neighbor is forging ahead by rapid strides. launching out on national issues the senator inquired: "What happened when in the early nineties it was announced that the Democrat ic arty had been victorious at the polls and would put all of its retro gressive policies effecting the nation al government into force? The answer was plain, but recalls very un pleasant memories the general pa ralysis of business, industrial depres sion, Coxy armies, free soup houses closed factories, depleted national treasury and all their attendant evils. Would the voter go back to those dark days of adversity? "But how different when Wm. Mc kinley was elected and the country went back to Republican policies and principles; the effect was almost elec trical. The Democratic nightmare of Cleveland's administrations reminded the Senator of the following story: "An old negro doctor directed his wife to have the children take a bottle of medicine to a patient across the way and upon his return inquired if the medicine had been delivered certainly was. Sambo,' said the old lady peering out at the window M curtins am all down and crape am hanging on de door." The medicine was delivered to us in the early nine ties by the Democrats, but we don't want any more of it, said the Senator, No more crape on the factory d'lors. "Democratic rule" he said also re minded him of an old man's exper ience with an automobile. "Whilo crossing the street the old fellow was struck by the auto, thrown high in the air, alighting with a broken leg, a dislocated shoulder and numerous bruises. The auto man looking back, andcried "get out of way," where upon the old fellow exclaimed, "what, you are not coming back already". When the Democrats talk about Parker's election, we can but exclaim, "what, you are not coming back al ready?" iSenator Fulton then drew a graphic comparison of the national finance now with what it was at the close of Cleveland's administration, lie aLso contrasted the imports and exports of the country then and now. He said that under a Republican pro tective policy our skilled and un skilled workmen not only find steady employment, but receive double the wages of the laborers of any other country' on earth. Therefore every loyal American citizen should be proud f the Republican party and a nation with such a record. The speaker showed up Bryan's in consistent attitude in the present campaign and his efforts to stir up sectionalism. He said Wm. McKin- ley and the Spanish-American war had done much to blot out sectional feeling, a policy that should be cul tivated instead of abolished. Speak ing of the trust question he said, "it was the Republican party that struck the shackles from hundreds of bonds men in 1862 and the same party can be depended upon to strike the shackles from the thousands of indus trial bondsmen today." He referred to the speech of John Sharp Williams, which was delivered at Louisville lately, in which he said, "in answer to the rebuke that the Democratic party is a party of retrogression it is only necessary to goback to the administra tions of Jefferson and Jackson but they were a little too aggressive "My God," exclaimed the speaker, 'has the democratic party got to go back 7" and lot) years to find leaders to whom they can point with pride? It is a wonder they do not go back to Columbus and claim that he was a I democrat, but a little too adventure some. 1 he Kebublitans only have to point to Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison, Mckinley and in fact go no farther back than the present time to point out the many virtues of their party its sound, progressive prin ciples and truly American policies. He said the Phillipines did not come into our possession by choice bat by accident and to maintain our national honor and integrity, we must do oar duty and guard the interest of the islands and their people until such time as they are competent of self government that is the Republican policy toward the Islands. In conclusion the speaker eulogized President Roosevelt, and said he should be elected because he has con sideration for the rights of the peo ple, believes in the rigid enforcement of the law, that conbines, as well as the people high or low should obey the laws; that oar country should keep up with the march of the other nations in the maintenance of a for midable navy as well as in other directions. The Senator acknow ledged that the President is unsafe to trusts; to political boodlers and spoilsmen ; to dishonest and unworthy office holders; to agressive, grasping and meddling foreign powers bat a safe man for president of the United States to which office he will be re turned by an overwhelming vote on November 8th. llkfal laatiat Casts fl a Br. Albany, Or., Oct. 30. T. W. John ston and L. W.

They put up 35 bonds fur appearance in the court of Justice of the Peace, W. S. Risley of Al bany, and voluntarily forfeited their bail rather than come to Albany, appear for trial and pay a similar amount in the shape of a fine.
