The governor said lie did not discuss
political issues because there are no
great issue between the lug parties. He
did not abuse his political ,riH,,,on,
,vetv much because he liiul always found
republicans to be just as gixnl and just
as patriotic in all respects a the demo
crats, and ) did not believe in alms-
ing the people.
He pointed out that four years ago he
had made promises to the people and
that he had kept them a best he could
He showed that when inaugurated, he
sent a message to the legislature worn
mending many legislative reforms, most
of which are to lie voted on by the o
pie tomorrow. Of these reforms mom
mended, the republican legislature en
I acted but two the inheritance tax law
and the tax on the capital stock of cor
I norations. As result of this he aid.

while the train waited here and then
the governor went to the coast accom
panied by State Land Agent Oswald
We&t, who joined him here.
Every arrangement had been made
for the delivery of an address by Gover
nor Chamberlain in this city, at Logan's
Hall, last night, and the proper com
.mittees perfected their program by sum
moning the band of the Astoria Music
ians' Union to meet him at the train
on his return from Seaside at 6:50
o'clock last evening, and to the strains
of enlivening music and followed by a
heterogenous crowd of people, the gov
ernor was escorted to the hall where he
fwaa met with a large delegation of his
democratic friends id "citizen" admir
ers, and the schedule of the evening was
gradually unfolded.
Governor Chamberlain waB escorted to
the rostrum by Mayor Wise, and there
surrounded by the following gentlemen:
Messrs. Hampton Smith, Hon. J. H.
Smith, C. J. Trenchard, Frederick
Wright, George Xoland and Senator
.Smith doing the introductory honors
of the evening in his usually happy
manner, after which the governor took
.the floor and spoke for the better part
of 100 minutes to the large and inter
ested throngs that had assembled in the
meantime. The governor is a born ora
tor and never at a loss for a theme, even
if he hag to revert unconscionably often
.to the personal pronoun "I", which was
the case last evening, although he made
it generously attractive to the whole
ouse and was frequently interrupted
with laughter and good natured ap
plause; and the speech, while practically
a defensive plea against the conclusive
statement made by the republican cam
paign orators here, and over the state
.et large, was well received and the
strongest points made were promptly
recognized and encored. He employed
his well known fund of humor to make
things palatable and used his utmost of
logic, to make them convincing, but of
that the results will be better known
tomorrow night He spoke as follows,
.in part:
schools of the state to cut down taxes.
He pointed out that the law reducing
the rate of interest to six per cent had
been passed in 1899. and that his pre
decessor had as good a chance as he to
loan this money.
Refuting the charge that he is a' 'rock
ribbed Democrat," he showed that he had
appointed capable men to office regard
less of their politics. He appointed L. T.
Harris judge in a district which already
had one democratic judge, thus giving a
non-partizan judiciary, and he reappoint
ed the text book commission although
it's members were opposed to him politi
cally. "Statement No. 1," Favored.
He championed "Statement No. 1."
and declared that the voters should vote
only for the candidates, who had
pledged to vote for the people's choice
for United States Senator.
In reference to the State land ques
tion the governor stated that he had
the bill, and went into the matter at
men and put a stop to the sysem of
graf that infested it during the prev
ious administrations.
Concerning the fact that Dr. Withy
combe had stated that he favored abol
ishing the office of state land agent
Governor Chamberlain said there was
probably not a land thief in the state
who would not say, "Amen!" to that
suggestion.
He refuted the charge that he was op
posed to the protection of the Oregon
forests from fire because he had vetoed
kept his promise to reform that depart
some length.
In closing the governor said that he
was opposed to granting perpetual
franchises, and further believed the peo
ple should themselves operate their
public utilities, for like Lincoln, he felt
inclined to trust the people with the
management of their own insttiutions.
At the close of the governor's address
at Logan's hall, he was the recipient of
many greetings and introductions as he
.moved slowly through, and with, the
crowd, to the entrance; and as soon as

U'REN'S OPINION.
Read What the Father of the Initiative
and Referendum Law Says of
of the Liquor Men's Bill.
. "If the proposed new law is enacted
and sustained by the supreme court a
justice of the peace can practically li
cense the saloon in a dry precinct by
Jeving a nominal fine when the liquor
seller is convicted, on the same plan
that gamblers are often practically li
censed by the payment of regular fines.
Jn practice these cases will almost al
ways be tried before a justice of the
peace, and he can impose any fine from
I cent to $250. This gives the justice
of the peace power to nullify a dry vote
by the people and to make running a
saloon under fines in a dry precinct
cheaper than paying for a legal licence
in7 a wet puccinct."
