MEDFORD, Or., May 10. Roundly
applauded by an audience that filled a
large hall here. Hon. A. E. Reamea
last night closed hla campaign for Con
gress in an - addresa In which he re-
. viewed the Issues that have, been be
fore the people since the present fight
began, Mr. Reams has campaigned Just
.one 'month, having begun In thla. hla
home county, in an addresa at Ash
land. He spoke last-night before people
from all the surrounding country, in
cluding thoaa who came from hla home
town, Jacksonville In a special train,
Hla meetings through the lower end
of the. district during the past few dais
nave been veritable triumphs. The peo
ple said they were the most success
ful political meetings ever held there.
At Gold Hill on Thursday night It
was '.remarked that no such political
; gathering had ever been- witnessed, not
even during the presidential years,
Here at Medford, the loyalty towards
their home county candidate In- tin
bounded. His people cheered him to
the echo, and aDDlauded his sentiments.
at numerous times during the course
of an address that consumed an hour
and a -half. - The most sensational pass-'
age In his speech was when he read an
article from a Hermann paper, the Med
ford Enquirer, edited by Horace Mann,
,whlch compared President Roosevelt to
a "bullet-headed tough or Dutch bar
tender." Long, loud cheers greeted the
speaker when he said:
"I desire to say to you, my home
people, that, as a cltlsen, as one who
respects the personality of "Theodore
Roosevelt, I repudiate for you, as I
.know you repudiate for yourselves, thl
atrocious attack upon the President, of
the United States; this Insult to the
.hospitality of the. people of the State
f Oeon."'
Air. Reames followed the same' line
tariff and trust discussion that he
lias pursued during the entire cam
paign, advocating a rational tariff re
vision aimed at trusts that sell abroad
more cheaply than they aell at home;
counselling that there should be no leg
islation that destroyed any legitimate
Industry. He quoted. from various na
tional ,, statesmen, among them the late
Mr. Tongue, who have held for revision
on trust made goods, and extended his
economlo theories to setting ''forth of
the relationship sustained by Pacific
Coast manufacturers and producers to
wards the Orient.
Mr. Reames urged that Coast people
were Interested In seeing all trade bar
riers between this country and Its far
Eastern possessions removed and
that the traffic be free and the same as
between staffs and territories. Taking
up the question of Improvement of riv
ers and . harbors, which he believes In
firmly, ha , asked, "Of what . use Is it
to improve rivers and harbors,, and then,
"by absur1l7reislrlctl6hs lit the form of

to. divulge the contents of Mr. Green's

The Republican majority In ' this

but from present Indications this ma
jority will fall below the 200 mark.
and possibly dwindle away altogether.

Reames. The organisation has been got
ten into good, fighting trim, and Monday
will witness activity in every county
for the Jacksonville man.
It is conceded that Reames will poll
his strongest vote In Jackson County.
Practically the only opposition his can
didacy has met. there has been that of
Horace Mann, -who edits the Medford
Enquirer, and who wrote the editorial
screed which uttered atrocious things
concerning President S Roosevelt The
Enquirer has . been a strong Hermann
supporter, and -its remarkable outburst
against the President, upon the occasion
of the tatter's visit to Oregon, has so
enraged the,, people of . Southern Oregon

repudiate Mann,' and the article with
unanimous excoriation. -

In fact, according to advloes from

the already strong opposition of Reames
in his home county, su tnat while

qualify all utterances from the stump
and In newspaper interviews by saying
that, purely .for party .reasons. Her

ing something to virtually concede that
they are fighting for a losing candidate.
Men who were but a few weeks ago
walking .the corridors of the - Smeede
Hotel here, during the Republican con
vention, and charging Hermann with
divers and sundry irregularities as a
publlo : official, now discover that verbal
chickens come home to roost, and the
voters place little confidence In their
later statements that.' are diametrically
opposed to what. those same men said
when they were striving to defeat Her

It Is known that he gave out advance
Information regarding the proposed set
ting aside of the reserves, pigeon-holing
the petitions for them, until certain per
sons and corporations could send men
to locate desirable lands, and that he
was aided also in the plans by his
brother-ln-lav.-, fc,dward Bender, who. as
a special agent nppolnted by Hermann
to examine into conditions and report
thereon, recommended the creation of
the reserves, which are now so bitterly
opposed by the people of the four coun
ties. T.amed.
NERMANN SHUFFLING

MEDFORD. May 30. The attitude of
Blnger Hermann on thecvestton of
forest reserves has cost hfm'more votes
In Jackson County than the fact that
his opponent Is a popular native son.
Hormann had considerable following
here up to the last few days. Old-line
Republicans have left him without the
least hesitation of expressing their feel

Valley brought out his utterances res
