' Appeal Is-Taken.Froml damus Writ but Election. Goes Just the -Same. Sent through the mails from an un ascertained source, a circular that makes a vicious personal attack upon A. B. Clark, candidate of. tha Progres. siva party for United States senator, appeared yesterday afternoon. It was in the form' of a four page pamphlet of.- atyla Bed, makeup rarely, seen Jn I Oregon, and bore no indication of who its authors might be. It was in viola tion of the Oregon corrupt practloes act in this and other respects, and Is pronounced by Mr. Clark a violation throughout of tha criminal libel law. The utmost cars seems to have been taken to conceal the Inspiration and tha writer. Mr. Clark considers the circu lar merely an eleventh hour campaign attack to Injure the-Progressive cause. His friends and Progressive supporters generally are more indignant, however, Judge Martin L. Pipes, president of the State Bar association, said: "I have' Just heard of the scurrilous and anonymous circulation concerning Mr. Clark. Literature of this kind de serves every good, cltlsen's utmost con tempt, especially when directed .against a citiaen of tha high standing of Mr. Clark. It should arouse the general indignation Which I myself feel, al though I am not supporting Mr. Clark in his candidacy. 'I condemn this vulgar attack which I am confident has no truth. The authors deserve severest punishment I have Known Mr. Clark well and from association with him at the bar, am able to say he stands high professionally." Judge Henry McGinn, who liad just heard of tha circular, called up to say: "I wish to denounce this circular di rected by a hidden enemy of A. E. Clark, in strongest terms. Truth never hides Itself behind "an - "anonymous screed like this. No lawyer in Portland stands higher than A. E. Clark and the au thor's of this libel should be hunted down and sternly punished." ' The extent to which the circular nas been scattered over the state is not yet known. ' W00DR0W WILSON URGES THE NEED OF DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (Continued From Page One.) . .

Ed ward Shields, the Democratic state chairman, says the state will go for Wilson. Pennsylvania Wants a Prophet. Anyone who can get any prophecy out of the political chaos in Pennsyl vania will gain the respect and admira tion of all the old leaders, who are dumbly awaiting to see what is going to happen. The antl-Penrose vote has killed the Taft hope of running second. The Roosevelt strength, however, is di vided. The Democrats are getting a lot of It and it is further weakened by opposition to Bill Flynn. If the Demo crat sit tight and poll their own. vote, their chances 6f carrying the state are excellent. In New York Wilson's chances are founded on the loyalty of the New York city organization.
