CONGRESSMAN ELLIS OUTLINES
ISSUES OF PRESENT CAMPAIGN
Urges Voters to Support Taft,
Republicanism and
Prosperity.
ADDRESSES MEETING
AT MASONIC THEATRE
Declares Contest Is One of
Issues and Not of
Men.
Despite the Inclement weather,
there was a good turnout last night
at the Republican rally at the Ma
sonic Opera House to hear Judge W.
R. Ellis of Pendleton, congressman
from eastern Oregon, expound the
Issues of the present presidential
campaign. Judge C. A. Sehlbrede,
state committeeman, presided and In
troduced the speaker. Among the
others on the platform with the
speaker were Henry Sengstacken, I.
S. Smith, J. M. Blake and C. J. Mil
11s. Judge Ellis' address which was
frequently Interrupted by applause
was a clear, concise statement of the
issues, comparing the platforms and
records of the two principal parties
and showing the effect that applica
tion of the policies of Democracy and
Republicanism had on the American
people. In all it was a strong plea
for the election of Taft and the suc
cess of Republicanism.
"This is not a contest between
men," declared Judge Ellis in open
ing his address. "Both candidates,
in fact the candidates of all the par
ties so far as I know, are high types
of manhood, all exceptionally well
fitted so far as character Is concern
ed to grace or fill the position. With
Judge Taft and Mr. Bryan, I enjoy
a personal acquaintance and cleaner
types of men are seldom found.
"Consequently, the campaign is
one of issues and not of men. The
tariff is one of the great issues onj
which the two parties differ. The
Republican party stands for a pro
tective tariff, a tariff that will pro
tect the American manufacturer and
wage-earner. With the cheap labor
of the old world, many articles can
be produced much more cheaply than
they can in America. The American
laboring man Is not content with
merely being a laboring man, but
has ambitions to own his own home,
to progress personally and to edu
cate and fit his children for high
places. Unless he is able to earn
a wage that will enable him to earn
a livelihood and provide for the
education of his family, he will sink
to the level of the laboring man of
the old world.
"I am one of those who believe
that the tariff needs revision and the
Republican party has promised to re
vise it. The schedule under which
we are now operating is known as
the Dlngley tariff, enacted in 1898
shortly after the panic of 1893. The
duty on many articles needs to be
changed, lowered on most and raised
perhaps on a few. It is proper that
this revision should be made by the
friends of the protective tariff and
not by its enemies the Democrats.
"It has been said that a protective
tariff means generally jobs looking
for the men while the Democratic
tariff policy of tariff for revenue only
means men looking for jobs. As to
which signifies prosperity, you all
know.
"Another thing to be taken into
consideration Is the possibility of the
parties being able to carry out their
promises. Now we know that the
Republicans have sixty-one members
of the senate and the Democrats but
thirty-one which practically Insures
Republican control of the upper
house of congress for another four
years. The Republicans have a big
majority in the House of Represen
tatives and it is only reasonable to
suppose that the party will remain in
control there. Thereforp, if Mr.
Bryan w.as elected, it is not likely
that a Republican congress and a
Democratic president could agree on
nny revision and consequently noth
ing would bo done,
"The Democrats for campaign ma-
OREGON GUARD
OFFICERS HERE
General Finzer and Lieut.
White Investigate Possible
Fortifying of Coos Bay.
General W. E. Finzer of the Ore
gon National Guard, and Lieutenant
White of Portland, in charge of the
O. N. G. ordinance department, ar
rived in Marshfleld last night to
make preliminary Investigations to
ascertain whether It is advisable to
establish one of the three United
States artillery companies, which the
War Department has ordered for
Oregon, on Coos Bay.
Today, General Finzer and Lieu
tenant White are making a tour of
the lower bay and are inspecting
Coos Head and securing data on the
need and possibilities of fortifying
the harbor. They will probably
spend two or three days in making
the Investigation.
It is not likely that General Fin
zer will Immediately arrange for the
organization of the artillery company
here although If he decides to have
one of the companies located on Coos
Bay, he will probably submit his
report on the conditions to the Unit
ed States War Department befor.e
acting.
The minimum number required for
an artillery company Is fifty-eight.
As there are a number on Coos Bay
who have seen service and would be
glad to join the new company, It Is
not believed that any difficulty would
be encountered in securing sufficient
men. Each year, the company would
be required to go to Fort Stevens or
some other fort in this section for
the annual drill and maneuvers and
the officers would probably be requir
ed to participate in other similar
events.

Efforts to Prevent Trouble For
Dredge Cause Grief For
Steamship.
While coming up the Bay last
evening, the Alliance ran on to a
"hog back" from tho mud flats as
a result of Capt. Olson's efforts to
prevent possible Interference with
the dredge Oregon which is working
on the shoal In tho channel there,
Tho tide was low and tho steamship
was fast almost tho Instant she
struck. The engines were kept go
ing In an effort to back off and some
how or other the suction pipe filled
with mud and soon disabled tho ma
chinery so that tho steamship had to
bo towed up tho bay. The mud was
cleaned out of tho machinery today
and the Alliance will sail . from
Marshfleld for Portland at S o'clock
in the morning.
Agent H. W. Skinner chartered tho
Flyer last evening and met tho Al
liance down the Bay, being ready to
bring tho passengers up to North
Bend and Marshfleld just as soon as
it was found that tho ship was fast
on tho "hog back." In consequence,
none of the passengers suffered any
Inconvenience.
Bad weather dftjMyed the Alliance
on her trip down. She left Portland
at 8 o'clock Saturday night, 'but be
fore she had proceeded ten miles
down the river, a heavy fog caused
Captain Olson to anchor until 10
o'clock Sunday. Again rough weath
er bothered at Astoria and a stiff
head wind with heavy seas had to bo
bucked nearly all tho way down the
coast. She crossed in about G
o'clock last evening, but the rain and
fog made tho trip up tho bay diffi
cult. In crossing tho bar, Captain
Olson's soundings showed twenty
four feet of water at half tide, in
dicating that the bar is rapidly
scouring out again.
Tho Alliance's incoming passenger
list was as follows:
