"Masonic Temple , yesterday afternoon,
- there was a dramatic moment, as the

sons raised a mighty chorus of "Ayes"
for Its adoption. , .
Only one dissenting vote was cast-

platform by Dr. Nina N. Wood, chair-
man of the meeting, who said he could
have 10 minutes.

- Evidently speaking with deep feeling.

was the attention of the big audience
that filled most of tne lower floor that
though the meeting lasted ,from 2:30
until 6 o'clock hardly a person left
until the end. ,
After the meeting itself had adjourned
an impressive Incident occurred when
somebody proposed that a delegation,
composed; of all persons interested in
having the: death sentence on the five
men commuted to life Imprisonment,
should journey to Salem . next Thurs
day morning at their own expense, and
ask the governor in person to grant the

Earlier in the meeting there was tre
mendous applause when Mrs. H. W. Coe
read a message from Mrs. Abigail Scott
Duniway, urging commutation of the
death sentence to life Imprisonment at
hard labor, with the wages of the con
vict to be turned over to the families of
the men.
Albert Ehrgott, in his address, which
he said was his valedictory to Portland,
elaborated on . the responsibility of so
ciety for crime. He said that crime and
criminals and degenerates are manu
factured by society itself, and that when
society breaks the necks of murderers,
reform is begun at the wrong end. He
traced the cause of crime in the unequal
economic distribution resulting In a
wealthy class and a poverty-Btricken
mass.
Levi W. Myers, prominent Progressive
party leader, made a stirring plea
against capital punishment. He quoted
