ganlzed labor will wage against the
Republican party In the coming
' election. The opening shot promises
to be a "sizzler." 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.
A grand marine parade will close the
regatta, every boat between Astoria
and Portland being magnificently
(llumated with colored electric lights
ror the occasion.
The officers of the fourteenth annual
regatta are: Chairman, Mayor Her
man Wise; vice-chairman. 11. R. Hoef

It has lust been announced that an
International tug-of-wor contest will

which will be more elaborate this year
than ever before.
The contest for the election of queen

(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. Its con-i
vent lors have declared In favor of sup- ,
porting laboring men for legislative po
Let Each Vote Kls Conscience.
"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. We cannot ask others to re-
examine the founii.it ions of thetr belief
! without being willing to do so our-
tltions. The constitution of the I nlted selves, and. earnest as I am. my high
Mine Workers gives authority to lts.est desire is that you should study
every question, and when you have
solved these questions, that each one
of you will follow the dictates of con
science and Judgment, that when elec
tion day is over you will feel that you
have done vour duty to ymr country
and have given your country the best
that you have. I am very glad to have
met you."
Bryan spent a fairly busy dav.
Earlier he discussed with Don Farns

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

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:

"On entering the dining room of the Hof Brau, one sees only the beauty and is impressed with no more than the elegance of the service, but the true excellence
and superiority is shown by an inspection of the kitchen. 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

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."
