It Is due next week. President Gompers of the Amer ican Federation of Labor tele graphed from Erie, Penn., to pub lishers Of the American Federation iet, the official organ of labor, to Withhold the publication of the Au gust number of that magazine until he prepares some Important ed itorials. He hustled Frank Mor rison, secretary of the federation, to Washington to see that his desires were carried out. Gompers, who Is attending; the an nual convention of the Dongsboremen's union, will be In Washington Monday. Vote for Bryan. The leading editorial will partake of the nature of a proclamation to the 2,000,000 voters of organized labor to vote for William J. Bryan and for "the principles for which labor has been fighting unsuccessfully under a Repub lican administration." Jn it, Gompers intends to show the democratic party that he was sincere when he told Bryan that ha would do all In his power, as president of the American Federation of Labor, to elet him president. Central labor bodies throughout the Vntted States will be called upon to hold mass meetings of members to ap prove of the course of officials of the federation. In this connection. Gompers will re cite the fact that he was advised by the representatives of the federation Inst March to appeal to the Democratic party In case the Republican party should refuse to grant their demands. , Taft the Targ-et. It was learned tonight that all the .energy of the federation will not be devoted entirely to the defeat of the, Republican candidate. Gompers will go after tlie scalp of Republican congress men who opposed his demands last win ter. In contrast with the campaign of two years ago it has been decided to bring" out a number of independent candidates in Republican districts. In stead of advocating the election of the democratic candidates thing on wheels will be utilized. An elaborate street show, under the man agement of Professor E. J. Arnold of Portland will be going night and day. Quaint country dances and a county fair will bo other diversions. During the regatta the Stiite Associ ation of Sheriffs, Norwegian Siuger fost. Evangelical Lutheran Church as sociation .of Oregon and Washington, and possibly the Oregon Press associa tion will tie in session. It is estimated that 20,000 visitors will be in the city.

One of thj chief events of tho carnival will be the queen's ball, which will be more elaborate this year than ever before. The contest for the election of queen will commence in about 10 days.

"And so T might take up different planks of the platform, anil show you how they are all tending to one end that thov all have one purpose, and that is to make this government Just In this way, It is believed, that the to the whole people. usual Republican vote will be so di vided that the Democratic candidate or the "Independent1' will win. TAFT HAS CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page One.) r.ew head of the miners demonstrates that he does not consider John Mitchell infallible, and differs from him, as he has in the past, in matters of great moment to the organization of mine workers- of which both are officers. Mitchell Is working hand in glove with Gompers along political lines this year. - "The coal mine workers of the coun try, in my opinion, will decide for them selves how thev will vote next Novem ber," said Lewis, who is experienced in politics as it affects labor and believes that the worklngmen of the country, in cfBdlng the miners under his care, are intelligent enough to studv the issues themselves and vote according to their convictions. "The only statement I care to make is that 1 am not aware that the labor movement of the United States is com mitted to partisan politics. What the executive council of the American Fed eration of Labor is going to do I ami not in a. position to say. j "The United Mine W orkers of Am- j erica as an organization Is not com- j milted to any political party.

"But I -have taken as my text the last clause of out platform, because it presents in a few words that which Is presented more elaborately In other planks. Our aim is to adjust the re wards of society to the people In such a way that every one will feel that there Is something to strive for. And I have taken your vocation, your calling, as an Illustration, and I have wondered why the teachers in this country would l?o, year after year, and vote to turn the nation over to exploitation by great trusts and private monopolies, when the teachers themselves are so poorly paid for the great and important work they are doing. "But if T talk much longer, I am afraid I will make you a speech, and I am not here to make you a speech. I am here to acknowledge the very cor dial greeting that you have brought here, and will say to you In conclusion that, convinced as I am that our plat form does now present the best solu tion of public questions now possible, while I am convinced that Its purpose Is more equitable than t lie purpose ex pressed In the Republican platform, and while I am anxious that we shall have i the support of as many of you as pos j slble. I would not be fair to you If I did not say that 1 am much more anxious that each one of you shall do what is right, thnn that you : should do what I think to be ' right.

I am very glad to have met you." Bryan spent a fairly busy dav. Earlier he discussed with Don Farns worth of Chicago the proposition to organize the negroes of the middle west Into Bryan clubs, end Just before he left for Chicago tonight. Farnsworth stated ', that he had been chosen to take charge j" of this work. ' The colonel also completed his ar- ' at Cincinnati that he has been chosen . rangements for his trip to Chicago next nnminM of the. w-eek. when he will assist the sub-corn-as the presidential nominee of the mn i n(Ujiina rnnimlUplcami memhershin to aspire to executive po oitlons under any partv without any particular political affiliation. "The miners of the country will de cide for themselves how they will vote next November." TAFT WILL BE TOLD THAT HE'S THE NOMINEE Enterprise Backed by Fritz Stroebel and Charles Barenstecher Who Formerly Con ducted the Louvre with Success The assemblage of people yesterday afternoon and at the formal opening of the Ilof II ran Grille was the most liant gathering that has honored any notable event in Portland ot recent date. 1 here were lawyers, doctors, business men, men high in the political affairs of the state, and the financial giants of the northwest, invariably accompanied by their wives, or lady friends. The scene was entrancing. Daintily dfressed ladies, a floral bowered orchestra, a lavish display of cut flowers, linen and .silverware highly representative of the manufacturer's art, tapestry wall decorations and rich furnishings without stint or j limit were reflected and refracted by the mirrored columns and panels until one felt almost lost in a bewildering maze of beau- I tiful surroundings. Congratulations were the most profuse and in this case no one doubted the sincerity, for the beauty and completeness of the place is much nicer than one would imagine. The hand of the artist has not been hurried in his preparation of the Hof I'rau Grille and expenditures for furnishings have evi dently figured away up into the thousands of dollars. The re shaped (jiiarters formerly occupied by the Portland Commercial club would scarce!- be recognized bv the most faithful attendant vi wiai in i men i uu 01 gainriiiou, aim u i conttueu uiai uie 1101 ae-"-. P. ran will step into immediate popularity with the appreciative public. Fritz Strobel and Charles Barenstecher are the men who conceived the idea of opening a grill upon the lines of the cele brated Hof Brau of Munich. Both are caterers of experience, which is reflected in every arrangement and detail of the new establishment. As a well known clubman observed last night: eveninp . . .r 9t if iost Dm- f v f TT-V T n c ' v; Vt-V -.;M. t. .-.f II f " J?i ? i' Portion of the Main Dining-Room of the Hof Brau Grille.

Go into the kitchen of the Hof Brau and you'll see why Fritz Strobel and Charles Barenstecher are considered successful caterers. Thev arc among the few who appear to make monev bv lavish expenditure. After all is said and done, the success of any famous street opens into the gentlemen's cafe. The handsomely-worked tapestry wall decorations of the grille are exact duplicates of those which adorn the walls of the grille at Munich, typifying German home, student and peasant life, and were executed by Ernest Miller, from plans direct from Sloan's, New York. The lighting fixtures, which are of the old Dutch pattern, lend a further enhancing effect to the general atmosphere, a pretty feature of which is the fixed lights, shedding their glow through transparent steins 4 It 9 v. t !'l h rk '.: '"ffi Mil hs "'j Corner in the Cafe of the Hof Brau, From a Photo by The Journal. The Hof Brau will serve and make a specialty of many fa mous German dishes, and only the finest edibles will be used in the preparation of the menu. Mr. Albert Haller, formerly chef at the Louvre, who has recently returned from a trip to Europe, pre sides over the kitchen. Mr. Haller is eminently fitted to make the fare of the new grille a keen gastronomic delight, and that he will do so is a safe assurance. His domain, in its elaborate and mod ern equipment, is a remarkable feature of the establishment and is wonderfully complete in every detail. The huge ranges, the mam moth refrigerators, cooled by the Hof Brau's individual ice plant, the heavy warming closets and tlie mechanically-operated dish washing machine are all features which insure guests that the service will be unexcelled if modern methods count. It is the intention of the management to render the Hof Brau one of the most noteworthy and popular attractions on the Coast, catering at all times to the tastes of connoisseurs, and to make the grille and cafe veritable delights of restful aban don, appealing especially to after-theatre parties. The pres ence of Victor E. Tarbell, formerly of the old Louvre as stew ard advances a pleasing assurance of courteous attention to every visitor. . The cafe will be stocked and supplied with the finest and old est products the market affords, including a great range of im ported beers and Weinhard's celebrated Kheingold and Kaiser blum brews. Every effort will be made to so systematize the service that it may be without fault and please even the most exacting in every instance. You eat a meal at the Hof Brau surrounded by every comfort money and skill can provide. You will say as did Jtudyard Kipling when he caught the first sal mon from an ' Oregon stream : "I have lived."
