tempted to commit autclde by Jumping
75 feet into the Willamette riTer. De
apondency over 111 health is given aa
the reason.
Hitting j the water face downward,
the girl remained beneath the surface
for a few seconds, and then because
of heavy Iclothinjr and a heavy over
coat, she floated ia the rapid current,
unconscious, with her head iand legs
under water. Hhe was fished out by
workmen and hurried to Sfr Mary's

separated, and she was known here
under her maiden name.

canonized him last night.
wlUoa and Bryan Applaud.
- The names of Wilson and William
Jennings BrVan were signals for- out
bursts of continued applause through
out the rilng. Three gubernatorial
candidates . were present. They were:
Ttr: tg. J. Smith. Colonel R. E. Miller
John Manning, while a Milton A.
Tiller boom was launched at th con
clusion of i the latter's speech on "The"
"w Era."! Senators Chamberlain and
Lane "were indorsed for second term
andT Victor Moses of Corvallis, who
jspoke briefly, was introduced as a
possible candidate for congress.
The . general comment on the ban
. quet was that it was the most suc
cessful arid enthusiastic In the his
tory "of the organization. t
i- Fred C. Whltten, president of the
Jackson club, acted aa toast master.
Governor West, as the first speaker.
said that although he has often been
accused of acting; too hastily, he had
three sources of advice, a picture of
, Ms mother, and busts of Thomas Jef
. f erson and Andrew Jackson. ' To the
latter ha ascribed his most' charac
: terlstic Inspiration, that of acting
promptly. !
- 1 Getting Back to Ideals.
"For many years." he said, "we have
been telling what Jefferson and Jack
fon did, but we did not do bo our
selves; but now. under Woodrow Wil
son,, w are coming back to these
Ideals. Our troubles today In Oregon
andt. throughout the country spring
fron' selfish Interests. . Organised vice
and4rganized wealth are the roots of
cvlU We ara only cutting around the
ragged edges. We are doing every
thing for the man who has money to
pay but nothing for the man who has
: tiot.j Thought must be given to cut
out 5 the cancer at the roots. We are
: in control today, and we are carrying
out our party pledges, thank God! Our
; duty- is pot done until every pledge
' Is fulfilled and everything In the in
terest of frood government is done,
and not before.
'-. "t have, been In office three years
and I am now on' the last quarter.
I've got the bit' In my teeth and it's
gcrlijg to be a pretty fast quarter. I
liava tried to do irty duty aa 1 saw it.
I have mala many blunders and mis
takes. . But the people are always
rady to forgive mistakes if only once
In a while you do something worth
while. The greatest crook in office
today Is not the robber of cash, but
the man who Bits still and does noth-
: Ing. An active crook is better than a
passive saint.
i West's Motive Honest.
fl've been told I am crazy, but
when a man's motives are honest and
the, thing ia right, he can put it over
whether It nas been done before or
not. During my term of office many
things that amounted to nothing have
been given column after column in
'the newspapers, while the things
worth while received no notice at all.
"NO mn has been opposed more than
I have,, and so I speak plainly. I do
not Intend to run again. I have done
my best and I ask for the next mrfn a
HttlVless opposition. Let us get be

a Democrat.!
sw Order of Things.
Milton A. Miller, collector of Inter
nal revenue for this district, was In
troduced as the "sage of Lebanon
He spoke of the-Increasing interest of
people m government and of thai gov
ernment In the people. " j
"There Is a new higher order of
men at the head of our government to
day. No man ever graced the White
House purer than Woodrow Wilson. No
cabinet has ever come nearer to the
people."
Mr. Miller reviewed the progress of
the administration thus far In its ca
reer and voiced encomiums on the tar
iff and currency acts. The latter be
praised as the greatest piece of legis
lation ever passed in this country."
In nhe absence of Postmaster F. S.
Myers, his place on te program was
taken by Walter M. Pierce of Union
county. Mr. (Pierce coined the: line,
'We Won't Go Back on Woodrow and
made this his thesis ior the evening.
"We Democrats have a duty to per
form and that Is to send back to the
United States senate a man who won't
go back on Woodrow. Chamberlain
may have his shortcomings; I am not
an apologist for Lane. They have been
honest with the people. I want to see
Chamberlain sent back to uphold
Woodrow Wilson, for whatever may
be nald of him or Lane, there Is not
enough money in Wall street to buy
either of them. Taking the tariff off
wool and meat made my heart ache,
but I won't go back on Woodrow. And
Bill Hanley won't go back on Wood
row, even though there is free beef."
Attitude of Woman.
Dr. Esther Pohl-Lovejoy followed
Mr. Pierce, speaking of ths attitude of
the woman voter to the Democratic
party. She was followed by Municipal
Judge John S. Stevenson, who spoke a
short eulogy on Andrew Jackson.
Colonel C. B. S. Wood with the topic,
"The Administration," said that Milt
Miller had stolen his stuff and that he
was forced to speak on something else.
He deprecated the condition in the
American governmental system which
permits of a congres of the opposite
political faith than Its executive,
praising in contrast the English system
wherein the commons is always of the
same party as the prime minister.
That Woodrow Wilson was making
history was voiced by Mr. Wood in a
reference to the Mexican trouble and
other acts of the present administra
tion. "This country," he said, "will not
use the blood of Its young men and the
money taken from its tollers to collect
the debts of the moneyed Interests
This stand of the administration will
go. down In history in letters of living
light.
peace Most Be Established.
Peace must be established and Intel
lectual men will come to submit their
differences to arbitration. This Is the
beginning of a new era, the beginning
of a day of humanity and consideration
for the masses."
Others who spoke were Claude C.
McColloch, John F. Shields. Thomas O.
Hague, Victor Moses and William Han
ley. Telegrams and letters were read
during the course of the evening by
Secretary Wilbur S. Snyder from Rob
ert Owen, senator from Oklahoma, Jo
sephua Daniels, secretary of the navy,
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the In
terior, Ben Davis, chief clerk of the
department of state,. Governor Lister
of Washington, Hugh McLean of
Marshfleld, Clarence Reames, federal
district attorney. Senator Harry Lane,
Joseph Tumulty, secretary to Presi
dent Wilson, Representative Oscar Un
derwood, Speaker Champ Clark j and
Senator George E. Chamberlain. The
latter's letter follows:
Senator Chamberlain's letter.
"I am In receipt of the cordial in
vitation of your committee to be pres
ent at the annual Jackson Day din
ner, to be given on the eighth prox
imo under the auspices of your club,
and to respond to the toast: "The Ad
ministration." I assure you I appre
ciate to the full the distinguished
courtesy implied by your Invitation,
and regret exceedingly my inability to
accept.' The fact is, I have been hon
ored by having had placed in my
Charge the bill now pending in con
gress for the construction by the gov
ernment under, the direction of the
president of a railroad in Alaska, a
measure of the greatest moment to
our state and to the country.
"It is on the calendar as the unfin
ished business In the senate, and will
come up for consideration automat
ically as soon as congress reconvenes.
Undjer these circumstances I can .not
leave my post without sacrificing the
interests of the state, and this obliga
tion to duty alone prevents me from
availing myself of the pleasure of
being with you. I can not let the oc
casion pass without a word of com
mendation of the efforts which have,
been, and are now ' being made
by you and your associates to keep
alive the memory and achievements
of one of the patron saints of Democ
racy, the immortal Jackson.
Ham Arouses Patriotism. :
"His was and ever will be a name to
arouse the enthusiasm not only of
Democrats, but of loyal Americana of
all parties throughout tha length and
breadth of the land- who believe in a
government of the people, by the peo
pie, and for. the people. : '
"The seat which Jackson filled with
such distinguished honor and with
such loyal patriotism is now occupied
by a president who has in less than
one short year done more to bring
the government back to the people
than any man who ever lived. The
name of Woodrow Wilson will go
down to history linked with those of
Jefferson and Jackson, the first as
the father, and the latter as the great
expounder of Democracy in its high
est and truest sense. .
"What has been accomplished by
the present administration under the
leadership of the . illustrious presi
dent? First and foremost, this ad
ministration has. redeemed to the let
ter Its pledge to revise the tariff
downward, and to relieve the masses
of the people from an unjust burden
of taxation.
"To say that the tariff measure
which has been enacted by this ad
ministration Is perfect would be un
fair. In the very nature of things
there had to be, and was in many in
stances, compromises and adjustments
to meet the varied sections of the
richest country in the world. But in
the final analysis the measure re
deems the pledges of the administra
tion, loosens the hold which legisla
tion had ' heretofore conferred upon
special privilege, and will destroy
under Its wise administration monop
oly which was enabled to flourish be
cause of the unjust measure of pro
tection accorded to the privileged
classes.
BCarkats of World Opened.
"It will open up to us the markets
of the world and bring to us the pro
duct of those nations without Inter
fering with or crippling our own In
dustries. It represents in truth and
in fact the new freedom of commer
cial, agricultural and industrial en
terprise. "As a supplement to this legislation,
and as more Important, the present
administration la responsible for cur
rency legislation, fundamental and
constructive in its character, to meet
the demands which have been made
by the people of the United States for
more than a generation. Heretoiore
when the people have asked for bread
they have been given a stone In the
way of financial reform.
"The most that has ever been at
tempted to meet these demands was
the Aldrlch currency bill, which was
so vicious In Us character and In its
tendencies that practically no man in
public life other than the author of
the bill had the hardihood to defend
It. It is peculiarly fitting that this
measure should be mentioned at a
meeting held in honor of Jackson's
"memory, because it meets and over
comes all the objections which he had
to a great central bank .nd places the
finances of the country practically in
the hands of the people.
"It marks a new era in the finan
cial history of the country, and I
think that It is safe to say it la the
greatest piece of constructive legis
lation of the century Just passed. It
would be out of place for me to un
dertake to discuss the measure In de
tail, and I only refer to It as one of
the accomplishments of the present
administration.
Trusts Are Surrendering.
"Those of you who have been watch
ing 'the news from Washington have
doubtless observed that one by one
the great trusts and combinations are
surrendering to an administration
which has proven not only its knowl
edge of the needs of the people of this
country, but its ability and determ
ination to compel obedience to the law
by the highest as well as by the low
liest citizen of the land.
"There is much yet to be accom
plished, and much will be. accom
plished without disturbing the busi
ness conditions of the country, and I
predict an era of prosperity unpar
alleled in the history of our time.
"Under the present .administration
the west will have an opportunity to
develop, the public domain will be
placed within the reach, of the honest
homesteader and settler, with an able,
energetic secretary of the Interior who
is familiar with the conditions and
needs of that magnificent section of
the country, reclamation of arid lands
will be proceeded with as expedi
tiously as is consistent with a sound
administration, a safe and sane con
servation policy will be maintained,
and the west particularly is to be
congratulated upon having held out to
it the hope of prosperous and better
times.
"I" wish I might be with you to dis
cuss these matters, at length, but I
content myself with this brief outline
of some of the work that the adminis
tration has done and contemplates
doing, and in expressing the hope that
the occasion which brings you to
gether may be a most delightful one."
