rrr i. a. c::r:con daily journal, Portland, Saturday evening, October 1 i3i: SELLING SlllffiS E Republican Nominee for United States Senator' Says His Campaign' Has Been Con ducted Openly, , . Upon bin return front, eouthernOre fori yesterday. Bailing, Republican nom ineefor United States senator, Issued a statement in reply to Senator Bourne's recent reflections .upon the Selling can. . dltlacy. He denies violation of the cor rupt practices act in his primary cam palgn end arraign Bourne for being a candidate) after defeat at the primaries ' and at the Bull Moose convention. . . The statement says irf, part: "Senator Boiyn la his statement to :, the voters charges me with having ob talned the Republican nomination for United States senator unfairly, through violation of the letter and spirit of, the corrupt "practlcea "act. He also, cora- plln that the character of campaign conducted by uie 'nullifies any obliga tion of the citlien to abide by the re sult of the primary election.' But he does not specify any instance in which the corrupt practices act was violated by me. ' "Probably the Basis of his insinuation was the fact that, prior to tho formal announcement of my candldaoy, 1 sent generally throughout the state letters to .voters requesting an expression from them as to the ratu-aaentatlon Oraa-on I lywas receiving from its senior senator. r Tha raatinnaa waa an nvrwli,lmlnff , against the retention-of Senator Bourne ,. and so general in urging me to oppose him for th nomination that J became a candidate and was successful in the pri - mary election. Campaign Kale Openly. "I want it distinctly and positively understood that every letter and piece of campaign literature sent out by me or In my behalf in the primary cam paign was carried by a postage stamp Which was paid for, and that my cam ; palga in this and in every other respect was - carried eat in -strict conformity '' with the letter and spirit of the cor rupt practices act. "At the same time, over 170,000 pieces of mail were sent out by Senator Bourne under government frank. The average weight of his letters youlU have cost a private citlsen four cents postage on , each, or a total of $10,000. Bourne's Tariff Record. ' "The character of the campaign con ducted by me and of which Senator -Bourne complains consisted chiefly of calling the attention of the voters to Ms attitude and votes on the Payne Aidricti tariff bill, in which he consist ently voted with Aldrlch to maintain the present high tariff. He voted with Aldrlch and against Senator La Follette about 11 times In all. Three times he voted for a reduction in schedules, one . ef which was on wool, one of the prin cipal products of this state, and he was absent over 70 times. Senator Bourne voted insistently and consistently to maintain the .present high tariff on cot ton and cotton goods, neither of which is produced here, possibly for the pro tection of his New England cotton mills. "'Senator Bourne alao says: 'My can dldacy is based upon a call direct from the people. The duty of citizenship is , responsiveness to the popular will when clearly expressed.' I am slightly in doubt as to which of his several candi dacies Senator Bourne refers In his , statement. In the primary election last i April, Senator Bourne was a candidate i and was rejected. In that election he received 25,621 votes out ef a total Re ; publican vote of 70,104. Senator Bourne -i "Was also a candidate before the Pro- grtselve party state, convention for Its 7 nomination and was again defeated. He i now appears as an independent candi date. In doing so he repudiates the direct primary law. "Call Prom the People." "The present 'call from the people' was secured by an inspired committee through the employment of professional ' petition circulators who were compen sated 6 cents for each voter's signature, "btnutor Bourne takes to himself ! credit of having passed on S47t.863.19S.64 : In appropriations. According to the f Senator's own claim as to appropriations j obtained by htm for Oregon, this state , has secured less than one one-hundredth ; part of this total. In this connection, j however, Senator Bourne makes no ref t erence to the fact that either through negieet or inattention, he lost to Oregon J Its fair and Just share of the reclama i Ion fund, amounting to several million , dollars. Here Mr. Selling comments at length ; on tha distribution uf funds for recla j matlon, comparing the amounts received by Oregon with those of other states. X I Me proceeds: Platform Is Ideal. - t "The platform of Senator Bourne is , , an Ideal one to which any high minded American citlsen can subscribe, but the worthof platforms- -and " promises " can only be estimated by past performances. Any. man's title to progresstveness rests upon his actions. The" Congres sional Record will ever show that Sena tor Bourne did not vote for a revision of the tariff downward as demanded by the people of Oregon. "Included In the platform announced by Senator Bourne la the declaration 'good wages muke good citizens.' Is the wage scale paid operatives in Senator Bourne's cotton mills thj standard he W00DBURN, LONG SCENE OF LIQUOR WAR, MUST VOTE ON ISSUE AGAIN 8 Woodburn, Or. Oct. 18.

He falls to mention the faut that he was the. recognised In termedlary of the Standard Oil company at tha tune It was threatened wnn prosecution by the federal authorities tor violating the i Sherman anti-trust law. It was then that he on several ecca slons accompanied - Mr,-Arclibold of Standard Oil fame to the White House snd Oyster Bay. Senator Bournes ac tlvltles on behalf of the Standard Oil company were finally terminated on the personal request of Roosevelt that he cease his attempts to interfere In be half of that corporation." The statement closes by euotlnc the letters of Roosevelt to Bourne In con nection with the.

With Al Kaufman determined to, .make his tsst stand In the boxing game, hoping to off set past reverses, the fans hire looked for a hard gruelling battle when Kauf man and Luther MuCart- meet In Cof froth's arena this afternoon. McCarty, a giant in ststure, ruled -a 10 to 8 fa verite, although there was considerable support for Kaufman. Today's battle aroused Interest par ticularly because it is believed the win ner would be sent' against Jim Flynn or At Palter, and the victor of tht latter bout would be named to contest Jack Johnson's world title. Two preliminaries were scheduled to precede the main1 event. Dick Wayne and Jeff Perry, lightweights, were on for six rounds, and Percy Cove and Ray Baughman for 10 rounds at the featherweight limit. The show waa scheduled for 2 p. m., and at S o'clock Kaufman and McCarty were expected to enter the ring. Johnson to Box Agala. t"Blrt rwi tr't4 Wtra,i Chicago, Oct. 12.

C. J. Kelly, representative of Mcintosh, is expected in Chicago today, and will formally offer Johnson 850,- 00 for two bouts in the Antipodes, with Sam Langford and Sam McVey. Brit ton Wing by Mile. New York, Oct. 18. New York fight fans think well today of Jack Britten of San Francisco, who last night fought Leach Cross, the New York dentist pugilist, to a standstill in a 10 round bout. Britton outpointed Cross in every round and won by a mile. Ferns Beats Magirl. St. Louis, Oct. 12. Clarence Ferns, a Kansas City welterweight.

Ferns brought over a terrific right uppercut, whloh ended the contest NEW EVIDENCE CLAIMED IN LEW T0RBET CASE Submitting an affidavit signed by Gu Ihle who swears that he saw a large butcher knife In the hand of Margaret Bellalre following her killing. Attorneys King and Williams have filed a motion for a new trial for Lew Tor bet, convict ed of murder In the second degree for shooting Mrs. Bellalre. The motion will be argued before Circuit Judge Qatens who heard the trial of the 18-year-old murderer, but' there is little prospect that a new trial will be granted as the evidence waa found so soon after the completion of the trial It has aroused suspicion that it is being submitted merely as a pretext for a new trial. Torbet is still held in the county jail and will not be taken to the peniten tiary until this motion has been dis posed of. ' The crime of which he was found guilty was the murder of the mother of a girl whom he had wronged, at her apartments. Twelfth and Stark streets, April 29. Self-defense was the defense but was not proved to the sat isfaction of the Jury. Following the killing the boy posed as a hero and thor oughly enjoyed the, notoriety which he gained. His sentence was life impris onment, as provided by law. Crown Princess la Opera. lUsIted rresa tested Wire.! Munich.

The appearance oZothe eras, wnicn are all white, gives them a standing that the regular run of real fresh local stock does not have, but the auallty is no better than the regular ice house stock, no matter whero it comes from. It is reported that Importers of this stock are not only receiving the full value of local ranch eggs, but are jret tlna a premium because they are sold aa selected. . While the scheme may tie successfully worked one time upon a buyer, it is not Ukelv that repeat orders will come, because the same class of stock can be purchased about loo a dosen less; but the latter are sold for what they really are, and not selected ranch.

An amuslna thlnar occurred in the tug trade yeaUrdav. wheh one of the cream ery -interests "came down to get some uf those S6c fresh eggs quoted by The Journal." He was shown the eggs and the express tags and the dealer offered to candle the stock carefully, but he didn't buy. That is the way with all the boosters of eggs at this time they talk hls.li urices for the local product but do not care to buy. They make their money by shoving the local market for fresh atock above a- basis where the average consumer can purchase; then sell, nun cold storage stock; at a. price ne can anora.

While It is true that the de mand for fsncy timothy is most pro nounced, grain hays are sought and in a few instances higher prices are being forced. The car shortage found the trade here badly In need of supplies. There was no inclination to take hold previous to that time, therefore stocks on hand here were the smallest in years. This hai forced heavier buying in the country. The situation is now such that it is likely that buyers will overbuy their requirements, which nirfy result in a temporary setback later.

AT 19 CENTS DEALS KEPT A SECRET Buyers Are Not Inclined to Tell of Deals Especially When They Are Made at Higher Range; Dealers Lose Money on Contract. Considerable business is passing In the hop market for ordinary quality but several sales of fancy goods were re ported during the last 24 hours at an ad vance of He over previous figures. Only one could be confirmed, that being the renter of T. A. Riggs at Ricreal, who sold 200 bales to Brown of Salem at 19c a pound. While this price was paid in several sections, dealers are keeping the details quiet. ' The buying of hops at higher price is generally for the account of those who had sold to eastern Interests and had covered by contracting with growers. While they took In these contracts, few of them reached the grade specified. The result is that the contractors were forced to purchase other hops to fill their or ders and take their losses on the ones they accepted on their contracts. Quite a tew 25Q contracts were taaen in oy dealers but the quality was not good enough to fill their own orders and they toog a loss 01 v or sc Dy selling elsewhere.

Potatoes are being sold at Greeley, Cole., to the southwest at a price that would mean that dealers here would be compelled to offer at 40a per cental In order to compete. This would mean that producers would, not receive mor than 30o per cental at shipping point, a price that Is out of the question, even in such a year as the present one. . There has been much talk that most of the Colorado potato crop was ruined by blight, but latest advices from there do not carr out these reports. Not only has that state plenty of potatoes for its own use. but in order to move Us crop- it is naming tho lowest prices In years for outside shipments. The car shortage, together with the Inability of the trade here to compete with the lower prices offered at other producing sections, has stifled the trade.
