Taft In Or, icon la predicted today toy W. E. Ayer, chairman of the president'! campaign committee In this state. Mr. Ayer went further, and aald ha bellaved that If a full, vote were to be polled today, Taft would hare a,majorlty over the com bined forces of La. Follette and Kooae- velt .' v . -J ' . .... - , Heretofore Mr. Ayer has been guarded In hie statements, saying that while re- .ports. were highly encouraging, he did not Intend to deceive himself as to the Kerloueness of the fight on account of them. Lately, be asserts, Taft has been making- such headway that he is con vinced the state will stand by the presl . dent ' :'-: . v .' ' This claim of the Taft chairman Is derided by the Roosevelt and La Fol lette enthusiasts, each of whom claim to have the best of the argument Many of the prophets, since viewing the re cent La Follette wave, have reached the conclusion that the fight In Oregon is between Taft and La. Follette. Praises Direct Primary., Mr. Ayer, surveying the primary tangles In New Tork, said he Is glad that Oregon has & direct preference law, and took a. few swats at Roosevelt -methods In Texas and Missouri. . "When I read of Mr. Roosevelt complaint about the New"" Tork nrl maxiea, and the turmoil north and south. It is clear a primary law. for direct vote is the only way to get an expres- sion of opinion. For Instance, we read ' of a letter sent by Colonel Lyon, the chairman of the state committee in Texas, to all federal officeholders," In which he calls attention to the fact that he reoommended for office every man now fcolJlng a rrf.13ent!al commission In Texas except five, and asks them to return a card to him showing their preference for preterit Then hee&ys: "1 repret to state that there are In Texae some. men who attempt to carry water on both shoulders, end on that account there will be some who will seek to avoid placing themselves on record and who would ordinarily, there fore, not comply with my request that they fill out and return this card. To such I will aay that I will make my own classification If I receive no reply In 10 days.' People Etn flying Situation. "Here we find that the Roosevelt chairman calls on every, officeholder whose appointment he secured to de clare himself. Then we read of a re port at Ozark, Mo., where a mass con vention was held, and a circuit judge, John T. Moore, commuted the sentence of four men who had Just been con victed and sent to jail, so they might be taken Into the Roosevelt meeting as delegate. .. , . -. "Thus It will be seen there Is good reason for the demand for presidential primaries, properly safeguarded. Mr. Taft has declared squarely for such primaries as we have In Oregon. His criticism of the 'soap box primary Is justified by the things we hear. -"The people of Oregon are studying the situation carefully, and 1 believe they will declare for Taft In his Chi cago speech the president said, the deliberate judgment of the American people Is a wiser and better guide for the state than the judgment of the most experienced statesman, the most learned jurist and the most learned and profound student of history. In this proper sense the voice of the people is nearer to the voice of God . than any other human decision.' : w "This expression Of Mr. Taft I be lieve, will be verified by the vote of the electorate of this state. As I study Mr. Tart I am impressed by the aim pllclty of the man, and feet that his greatest want is a bandmaster to blazon hi words and deeds from the housetops, for his methods are those of thought and action, the quiet man who abhors advertising himself DISCOVERS SHE'S- mmm Woman Takes Witness Stand to Find She Has Legally Passed Away. Van Zile Wins MedaL (Special to Tti Journal. i ' Marshfield, Or March 28. Charles Van Zlie won the honors In the debat ing contests, of the North Bend high school, being awarded the first prize.

To mount witness stand in an Oakland court room and make the discovery that she was legally dead and burled was the startling experience of Mrs. Anne J. McKUlip of Toronto, Canada, whose sudden appearance has placed a. valu able piece of East Oakland property under a complicated tangle of conflict ing titles here. - Mrs. McKlllip made a trip across the continent to look after her property. only to discover that It had been sold. Investigation of a long series of titles disclosed that the trouble had started through confusing her name with that of the late Mrs. Anne J. Green Mc Klllip, the appraisers of whose estste turned over the wrong property to a nephew of the deceased, who In turn sold It The Canadian Mrs.' McKlllip Is now, seeking a reconveyance of the land. asfnuch as there are' 14 lodges in the ethta. the fund is expected to reach $5000 or 6000. It was the original Intention of the La Grande lodge to offer $500 for each conviction, but. at the tugpestion of the state game warden, the fund will be made permanent, only the Interest being used. Tills, however, will be supple mented with enough from the state game fund to make the reward In each case total $250. According to the warden the chief Im portance of this move lies In the fact that several thousand prominent cttl sens throughout the state are directly contributing to a fund for the protec tion of elk and will, therefore, have a personal Interest in the several small bands yet remaining In different parts of Oregon. . Warden Finley says this cooperation will result In the arousing of a publio sentiment which will make possible full and complete protection of elk. He also believes the good effects will be extended to game protection In general. . . ' This Is the second Important move made by the La Grande lodge along the same line, and both are directly due to the Importation of the famous Oregon herd of elk from Jackson Hole, "Wyom ing to 'Wallowa county, Oregon. The first action was the sending out of per sonal letters to each of the 600 members in Union and Wallowa counties, calling upon them to cooperate to the fullest extent with the state game warden and hts deputies In their efforts to prevent the annihilation of Oregon's game. si LA GRANDE ELKS ViLL N PROTECTING ELK (Special tn The Journal.)
