(United Preia Iaia Wlr..) atariin Nov 2. That no war in mod ern tim'ea has been marked by such hinnAv hand-to-hand fighting, by such total indifference to the sufferings of tha wounded or by such shocking cruel- tiu ta non-combatants as tha present Balkan struggle, was indicated tonight by many messages from tha vicinity of tha treat field of hostilities. In their displays of ferocity In battle the Bulgarians and Montenegrins have vied ably with the Turks. Ths Servians and Greeks have shown mora regard fori the recognised rules of modern war fare in their choice of weapons. Of all the combatants the Greeks hava had! the best hospital service. The Turks' apparent regardlessness for their own wounded, has Perhaps . been due tot the precipitancy of their retreats from nearly evanr battJe'tney nave iougnu The Bulgarians appear to have been in too great a hurry to follow up the advantages they have won to trouble I concerning the shot and a tab bed. The Servians, whoae advances have not been so swift, have been less open to criti cism. Tha Montenegrins have hardly had a hospital service at all. For the inhuman brutalities practiced on non combatants, the Turks have been al most wholly to blame. Men who saw the fighting on the field about Adrlan- bple and Kirk KUissea during the first I few days of the war, say they could not hava believed human belnaa could 1 1 uleEJI-UCubmteJlka-f ury .pr.-suck -at tar contempt for death.

The meeting was strictly non-partisan anH tho discussion was solely along the lines of what was best td Ho to develop the re sources of the state and bring it into first position among Pacific Coast states. Being practical business men, it was conceded that a Business Agent, representing Oregon at Washington, who had made good and was strongly entrenched on committees to do further and better work for the state, should not be DISCHARGED and replaced by a green hand without any experience. EVERY BUSINESS MAN PRESENT CAREFULLY CONSIDERED FIRST WHAT HE WOULD DO IN HIS OWN BUSINESS IN SUCH AN EMERGENCY, AND UNANIMOUSLY THE VERDICT WAS TO MAKE A UNITED EFFORT TO KEEP THE MAN ON THE JOB WHO HAD MADE GOOD. With the business promptness of men who see things clearly and act decisively there was organized the - ." : ' : "1912 SENATORIAL' LEAGUE'NON-PARTISAN and the basis ori yhich the league was formed is set out fully below t Realizing that good roYernment necessitates recognition of good serr ice, for otherwise the public senrant "will serve himself and his own selfish interest rather than the general welfare of the community he represents; Deprecating the efforts of a part of the press and some Individuals to destroy the efficiency and standing of nearly all of our national and state servants for the past thirty years; . Believing that not only justice but our own personal interests require that we should in every way aid and cooperate with our public servants while ir office, and when, they make good retain their services by reelec tion for thus only can we secure the best results : We therefore associate ourselves in the organization of the "1912 Sena toriaj League., . . - - ' We are prompted in the organization of this league at this time by the careful consideration of unique conditions relative to the senatorial campaign now pending in Oregon. With no reflection on any of the other candidates, we are thoroughly convinced that the best interests of the state and nation demand the reelection of Hon. Jonathan 'Bourne, Jr., to the United States Senate. We believe him to be the greatest personal asset the state now possesses. He has acquired a national reputation and has given the state greater publicity than any individual or group of men dur ing the past three yearsto his efforts more than any other man's is due the fact that Oregon is more talked about today than any other state in the Union. . . Senator Bourne is entitled to reelection for any one of the following reasonsr " " ' "" " """ ' ' His positions on committees, which are the most important ever held by an Oregon senator and, from the standpoint of appropriations, more important than those held by any other member of either branch of Con gress. He is chairman of the Committee on Postoffices and Post. Roads and a member of the following committees : Appropriations, Commerce, Iblic Buildings and Grounds, FisheriesrRailroadi Trah to the Seaboard and Woman Suffrage. If reelected he will retain his mem bership on all these committees if he so desires, as his rank is so high in seniority on the committees that whether the Senate be Republican or Democratic, he cannot be displaced except by retirement from the Senate or according to the universal-asage of the Senate he asks to be relieved from service upon any of these committees. Should the Senate become Democratic during his term of office he would lose hia chairmanship of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, but would be the ranking Re publican member of the committee and one of the three Senate conferees on all 'bills, passed upon by that committee. His position on committees passing upon more than fifty per cent of the total appropriations made by Congress. His six years' training as Senator, making him far better qualified than any new man could possibly be. His ability as a constructive legislator, as demonstrated by his drafting and securing the passage of the Parcel Post law. . .' His capacity for leadership in national affairs, as shown by his origina tion of the 'presidental primary, his amendment to the Panama Canal bill giving the Interstate Commerce Commission power to compel railroads i to dispose of competing steamship lines, his radio-telegraph bill and his plans for a Government Business Methods Commission. ; His membership on and undoubted chairmanship of the joint commit tee created in the last session of Congress to ascertain and report on the best method of federal aid in the construction of national good roads. No problem is of more importance to the state and nation than that of good roads. The fact that within ten years Oregon will require federal appropria-" tions amountine to more than $20,000,000.-and. Senator, Bourne's ability.; -bcsfrxihis ccanmiUc any new man wouia dc unaoie to secure we same wunin twenty years. . The fact that through his influence Oregon has secured the largest fed eral appropriations in its history.

Like the leading members of the Senate, Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, Colonel Roosevelt and Senator La Follette, the business men of Portland are of one opinionBourne has made good. v ... i , Never befre have Labor and Capital united in supplying a candidate. This is because of the belief that Oregon's welfare and the preservation of the purity of the direct primary and the corrupt practices act can best be served by retaining Bourne in the senate. Workingmen are more interested in upholding the Oregon System and - support Bourne for that reason. Business men of Portland in all lines look at the material results which Bourne, has achieved and can continue to accomplish. r. t Tills Unites ttieTwb Large Bodleo of Voters In a Common Cause Heretofore the business men have taken no part in politics. In this instance they are aroused to activity through realization that Oregon needs Bourne. , - - Irrespective of party affiliation, almost every leading commercial house has joined the "1012 Senatorial League," Bourne's election to this organi zation is -not a matter of politics, but of good business judgment . The fact that these firms have combined to support a candidate for office is one of the strongest recommendations Bourns could have from his home state" to supplement the indorsements of the leaders of the nation in political and labor progress. 1912 Senatorial League" Mori- (a!d Advertisement,) IT : S S i V i .7 And keep the Port Commission out of politics.
