JIM
RECOUNTED BY FLEGEL
Only Way to Give Vote of
Confidence Is to Return
. Democrats to Congress.
OREGON SYSTEM'S INTENT
Pnrpos to Recurs Seat Man to Offlcs
errdiess o' fartj; Sbarlff
Word and Othr Speak.
A Democratic' rally wu held last
nldtht at Creston school. Forty-ninth
itreet and Powell Valley road. George
H. Watson, coanty chairman, presided.
The speakers were A. F. Fleirel, candi
date for congress; Rosco P. Hurst,
candidate for Joint representative for
Multnomah and Clackamas counties;
t O. Hague, candidate for the legis
lature, and Tom Word, candidate fof
sheriff.
Mr. Flegel spoke of some of the
achievements of President Wilson's
administration during the first 18
months of his term of office; of the
war and its probable result to the
United States under President Wilson;
his watchful waiting policy in Mexico,
and his personal qualities, which made
his adminiHtration no popular, and of
his ' confidence that the people will
give him a vote of confidence in No
vember. Mr. Klegel said in part:
In addition to the duties as a law
maker, you representative in congress
represents you and the state at Targe
as .your agent, and It becomes bis duty
to understand and present the needs
and claims of the district and state to
the administration, and to see that
such rules and regulations are adopted
for the management of national af
fairs in which the state may be in
terested as will best serve the interest
of the state.
Purpose of Oregon System.
The work of building the Jetty at
the mouth of the Columbia river and
the- channel from Portland to the sea
is in charge of a department, also the
policy of conservation of national re
sources, and irrigation projects in all
of which Oregon has a particular In
ternet, and the congressman ought to
know of the needs and changes de
aired, and much of the time of your
congressman is taken up with these
matters.
ft is of the greatest . importance to
the state that he cooperate with other
agencies in the state to accomplish the
best results. This I pledge myself
' to do.
An attempt Is being made to make
voters believe that because they have
declared their party affiliation when
regiKteKing they should vote for
the party nominee, and to do other
wise would violate the spirit of th
Oregon system.
l)o not be deceived. The"Oregoa sys
' tern is designed to secure the best
men for office, regardless of party.
You can cast your "vote in secret, un
influenced by any party candidate or
outside influence, and the spirit of the
. Oregon system is designed to get the
best men for office, regardless of
party.
One matter of g-rav importance
ought to be carefully considered by
11 thoughtful and patriotic persons.
President Wilson has asked the people
of the United States to endorse his
peace, policy. This endorsement can
only be driven by voting for George K.
Chamberlain for the senate and my
self for congress. All the other candi
dates are opposed to htm.
President Wilson's Accomplishments
Consider for a moment some- of the
accomplishments of President Wlson's
administration the party pledges re
deemed; the tariff revised downward,
and without the influence of a corrupt
lobby or special interests; the federal
reserve system of banks, which one
writer has said is the "roost signal
achievement in the Interest of the peo
ple since the Emancipation proclama
tion was jrigned." and the president
of the First National bank of one city
fays makes financial panics such as
we had in 1907 ftnpossible; the Clayton
Anti-Trust law. which redeems the
pledge, to break up trusts and
monopolies and does away with Inter
locking directorates; the income tax
law, which places the burden of the
tax upon those able to pay and th
arbitration law, which makes for tho
settlement of controversies between
labor and employers by the peaceful
means of reason and right and saves
millions In roonev and bloodshed, and
' carnage. f
To realite the benefits of this law
compare the settlement of the con
troversy between the enginemen and
firemen and the railroads, now in
process of settlement, with the Chi
cago railroad strikes, with the loss
of life and Dropertv.
The president's constitution of peac
by which large business organizations
were assured of the desire of the ad
ministration to help them to conform
to the law, as in the Telephone case,
the Pacific railroad case. New Haven
railroad case, carried with it the de
termination that if business organiza
tions would not co-operate with the
department of Justice they would be
compelled to do bo as In the Harvester
trust case.
, Gravity of Situation Should Appeal.
This record of achievement In 18
months ought to appeal to every pa
triotic cltiien to support the presi
dent's administration. The gravity o
the present international situation
ought to appeal to you for your in
dorsement. Nine great powers of the
'world are plunged in the most horrible
war of the ages. The interests of all
these powers are Intrusted to the care
of the United States In confidence In
. her neutrality and determination to be
,'8ervnt of all," disinterested un-
selfish, commanding this respect and
confidoncu.
j During this time all the thought.
all the courage and all of the humanity
of the president is called into action
every day. All of these burdens are
- added to the usual load he Is required
to bear, and the situation appeals to
the loyalty and the patriotism of the
people to get behind and under him
with their moral support, manifested
by such a vote of confidence as will
put new courage, new determination
and new life in him. '
He has declared to all the world that
so long as he is president there will be
no war or conquest by the ITnitei
who are languid, sleepless
and physically run-down, get
immediate relief and lasting
benefit from the regular use

Material progress by the, allies at
many places along the battle line was
reported by the Bordeaux war office's
regular dally statement, received here,
as usual, at t this afternoon.
The Belgians, It was announced,
were holding the line from Nieupori
to Dixmude and along the River Yscr,
maintaining their positions despite
fierce German assaults.
In the region of Lille, where the
Germans were admitted to be retain
ing possession of their strongly en
trenched positions, it was said there
had been little change.
On the right bank of the Meuse, es
pecially in the neighborhood of Camp

declared to be striving In vain to

"The general situation," said the
statement, in its summary, "is emi
nently satisfactory."
ALLIES LAND FORCE
AT GERMANS' REAR,
SAYS PARIS RUMOR
Paris, Oct. 20. In the face of
desperate German efforts to brealt
their line and attack Dunkirk, the
allies were rather better than holding
their own along the Franco-Belgian
frontier today, according to advices
from the fighting front.
Furious fighting was reported Mon
day night about the Belgian towns of
Roulers and Dixmude, where the
kaiser's troops made assaults in force
In the Franco-Anglo-Belgian front,
but failed, it was stated at military
headquarters, , to break the allies'
ranks.
A rumor was current thai the allies
had landed a strong force near Os
tend under cover of the British fleet's
guns. Experts pointed oat that the
Germans rear was in danger if this
report proved to be true. It lacked
official confirmation, however. , Per
sons who credited it declared the Brit
ish had many warships along the
coast near the scene of the present
fighting, and argued that the allies
could operate with much effect on
land under the protection of a bom
bardment from this fleet.
Indecisive fighting continued today
In the neighborhood of Courtrai and
Lille and along the La Basse canal
and the river Lys.
"It is a series of independent bat
tles," said one officer back from the
front, "and each is a desperate one.
"The Germans began by trying to
drive wedges lhto our line. At first
they succeeded and we were forced to
withdraw. Then we were reinforced,
assumed the offensive and now are
trying. In turn, to drive wedges into
the German line. -
"It Is a ragged, zigzag affair and at
several points we are almost upon
the German trenches.
"It was in an effort to relieve this
pressure that the Germans assaulted
us in force in the Peronne and St.
Quentin region."

Mrs. Duryea replied: "On June 30."
Here Mrs. Duryea broke down and
the proceedings were halted until she
recovered her composure. The wit
ness then identified a skirt worn by
her daughter and was excused.
George Golder, a laborer, testified
that he was in Dr. Carman's office
when the shot that killed Mrs. Bailey
was fired. He was cross-examined by
Attorney Graham.
Golder said that he saw a woman,
dressed in white, pass behind, the por-

Carman wore a blue skirt and a white
waist. " Goldes asserted that no one
passed behind the portieres just before
the murder.
"If they had," said Golder, T would

again. Then I heard the crash of glass
and a shot. I went to the door and
looked in every direction but saw no
one. A few minutes later Dr. Carman
opened the door of his private office
and asked me to enter. I saw a wom
an lying on the floor. She only
breathed once after I entered the
room."
Golder said he assisted Dr. Carman
ana Mrs. Ida Powell in lifting Mrs.
Bailey's body to a couch. He said
he remained In the room 10 minutes
and that Dr. Carman did not tele
phone to anyone during that time.
Under cross examination Golder said
he heard a piano playing just before
the shooting, and heard a voice say;
"Stop playing that piano!"
The playing, he said, stopped Im
mediately. Golder also declared he
heard footsteps in the direction of the
dining room, but said he saw no one.
Autopsy Is Described.
Dr. Howard Phlpps testified regard

aserted Mrs. Bailey was a prospective
mother when she met death. He also
declared there was evidence that an
attempt had been made to prevent the
development of her condition.
After Dr. Phipps had concluded his
testimony. Dr. Roy Griner was called
to the stand. He merely corroborated
the testimony of Dr. Phipps. Both
physicians, however, technically ex
plained the condition of Mrs. Bailey's
body. They said the condition to which
they referred, was in its early stagey
and that they based, their deductions
regarding an effort to prevent develop
ment upon what appeared to be a piece
of clotted cotton in one of the organs.
Under cross-examination both physi
cians said there was no evidence of a
medical instrument having been used.
Nervy Thief Takes'
Desperate Chances
Big-lit Wanderer Makes Away With
Two Fierce Mas Crabs After Regaling-
Himself With Oyster Cocktails.
The question is no longer, "Who
struck Billy Patterson?" The prob
lem now is. "Who stole Wachmuth's
live crabs?" "1 have heard of a man
stealing a red hot stove," said the
oyster man today, "but I want to take
off my hat to the fellow that got
away with those live crabs. If he
will come around. I'll agree to forget
It and give him a job to boot. It
takes some nerve to take hold of a
lusty big-clawed crab without get
ting pinched good and hard, but I will
admit that I am the goat this time."
The fact is that Wachsmuth's place
at 248 Ankeny street was broken Into
by a thief who, besides walking off
with two live crabs, regaled himself
on oyster cocktails and big, luscious
bivalves on the half shell.

Spits of Pnttat Unpleasantness.
Rome, Oct. 20. William Shakes
peare has all but been dragged from
the peace of the tomb to take a hand
in hostilities between Germany and
Great Britain.
Because he was an Englishman, cer
tain Germans have inclined to regard
the bard of Avon as an undesirable
since war began. Finally Max Rein-
hardt, the producer Who has achieved
some of his most notable theatrical
successes through his Shakespearean
presentations, has taken up arms in
the great dramatists behalf. In the
hope of making out his case he ap
pealed to the leading- German, author
ities as to whether Shakespeare should
be retained in the fatherland as ah in
tellectual conquest or expelled as a
mere Englishman.
Imperial Chancellor von Bethmann
Hollweg gave it as his opinion that
Shakespeare belongs .to the whole
world. ,
"We should present Shakespeare,"
said Wllamovltz Mottendorf f, the
Greek authority, "because be is partly
our own, because he Is the poet of an
cient England, which would be
ashamed of the hypocritical England
of today, and above all, because we
are superior to all Chauvanlsm."
"Shakespeare," was the verdict of
General Director Adolf Harnack of the
Berlin royal library, "Is the ancestor
of our German civilization."
Reinhardt says these replies have
confirmed him in his own judgment
and that Shakespeare stays in Ger

cerned. Deputies in Race

it was still dark they discerned the
man In the act of pulling up his net,
one end of which touched the shore.
One of the deputies seized the net and
a -tug-of-war commenced. Trinbat
quickly abandoned his net, however,
after extracting the fish that were
near enough for hire to reach, and
started toward Mllwaukle, full speed.
The deputies leaped into a rowboat and
started in pursuit.
The accused Is custodian of the old

Character Makes Credit.
"The opinion of -the world is the

What we should be watchful of is not
so much jealous interest as sound

"I am not venturing in this pres

wish to make this intimation, that. In
this time of wot-ld change, this time
when we are going to find out just
how, what particulars and to what
extent the real effects of human life

Governor Denounces
Story as Falsehood
Oregonlan's Statement That Wet Had
Pardoned Pender and WUklas Xa a
Misrepresentation.
Pursuing its course of misrepre
sentation, the Oregonian this morning
stated that Governor West baa re-
'prieVed J. A. Pender and Lloyd H.
Wilklns, each convicted of first degree
murder. The governor has sot re
prieved them.
Pender was convicted in Columbia
county and Wilklns was convicted lb
Multnomah county. Both appealed their
cases to the supreme court. These ap
peals acted as a stay of execution. The
supreme court affirmed the convic
tions and it Is now necessary for the
cases to be returned to the circuit
courts for the dates of execution to be
reset. Until that Is done a statement
that the governor has reprieved either
or both of the men la absurd, as the
day for their execution has not been
fixed.
The Oregonian's article, intimating
that Pender and Wilklns would prob
ably go scott free, escaping both death
and imprisonment, if the amendment
abolishing capital punishment should
be adopted in November, created
amusement at the state capitoi, accord
ing to a dispatch received from Salem.
The governor denounced as an abso
lute falsehood Ihe statement that 4ie
had reprieved the two men. it was
declared at the capitoi that there is no
danger jof the men escaping punish
ment.
Cargo of Freighter
Nearly Destroyed
With the possible exception of the
few carloads of Iron pipe and steel
products In the cargo of the American
steamer Santa Catallna every bit of
freight carried by the big freighter was
destroyed in the fire that damaged her
Sunday In the Columbia river. The
hatches were Inspected this afternoon.
Hatch No. 1 has not been entered on
account of steam. Hatches 2, S and 4
are flooded within a few 'inches of the
main deck and the cargo that escaped
the fire has been ruined by water. The
engine rooms are flooded over the cyl
inder heads and could not be examined
thoroughly.
Through the fact that the gratings
over the engine room do not show
the effects of the heat it is hoped that
the engines may not be' entirely use
less and that some parts of them can
be used again.
The fire is now confined to a portion
of the cargo in No. 2 hatch on the port
side and will be out by nightfall.
