fi tit i
ruueu, nave ividjuiuy uver
Combined Vote for Roose-
Succesa for William H. 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

, (netted Freet teeetd Wire.,
San' Francisco, March Si. 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.
