suffrage and national prohibition. :
The Progressive party, said Mr.
Mears, "stands for three fundamental
principles. First, we believe In a more
vital democracy, a government truly
representative of the will of the peo
ple. Second, we stand for a broader
application of the national theory of
government. Third, we stand for so
cial Justice.
"The Progressive party has come be
cause off the needs of the people. We
are fighting for Industrial and social
Justice, for the rule of the people, for
the moral uplift of our nation. This
is why I am a Progressive. I do not
have to win. but I must be true to
principle.
"The brave and faithful men and
women ' f the , slxties, who belped
save the union and. liberate the slaves,
solved the problems of their day and
generation, but the new generation
can not live on the past. Each new
age brings new duties. It is for us,
the men and women of today, to solve
the problems of our day and genera
tion."

i Ooremor Oswald West asked the
1eopl of St. Johns last night, and cf
iAIontavllla yesterday afternoon, tQ
jtaka a little time to think of what has
teen said and published during the
present campaign and see If they
could recall a single thing- Dr. James
' Vnthycombe. Republican candidate for
coventor, bad told them he was going
to do In their Interest.
' The govern r asked his hearers to
see If they could recall a single thing
Dr. Wlthycombe had told them he was
going to do to lower taxes. -
xou people reaa me newspapers,
said the governor, "now I want you to
see If you can recall single thing Dr.
Withycombe has told ym he Is going
-to do. If elected governor.
Wot Allowed to Talk.
, "Surely he has some -ideas of his
own. If he 1 elected It will be but
'a little while unUl he will have to
.. prepare a message to the legislature,
so any one would suppose that he baa
thought ot some things he would like
to do, and would be ready to discuss
them before you.
."lie talks about lower taxes. Any
body can do that; but doe he tell you
bow he expects to bring about lower
taxes 7 , lias he told you a single
thing he would do to reduce taxes?
He should come here and discuss these
things with you. The truth is he
can't discuss them, because he isn't
allowed to."
At 8t Johns last night the governor
poke In the city hall, which would
.reasonably accommodate about 300 per
- scAis. After the governor began speak'
i Jng and air the seats were taken the
people kept crowding Into the aisles
-In such numbers that the' governor
topped and Invited them to come for
ward and sit on the rostrum and in the
'Windows.
4 Crowd Jammed Boom.
Then a dozen long benches were
brought forward and placed beside (he
. speaker's stand. These were lilted and
still no noticeaoie impression was
: -made In the crowd that continued to
press forward in the aisles and at the
, rear of the room. More than 600 per-1
.sons crowded into the room, and while
" dozens were standing the closest at
vtention was given the governor.
' Speaking simply and earnestly the
governor quickly established a feeling
' of unity between himself and his hear
- era. This was indicated throughout his
t .'address by the close attention and the
responsiveness of the audience.
' The afternoon meeting In Grebel's
I 'ball. . Monta villa, was also attende-.
! ''by many more persons than there were
-seats. There were 250 out to hear the
'gov era or. most of them being women.
. j The governor described the condition
of state affaire when George E. Cham-
: S berlaln was elected governor. He said
' prior to that time the old guard, which
"is now endeavoring to get control of
-tha reins of government, was In the
saddle and there was a manifest desire
' oh the part of those in office to use
'their office for their own benefit.
; I Children's Heritage Wasted,
. He reviewe.1 the manner in which
, ;',the school lands, the heritage of the
school children of the state, were
squandered.
i "It never seemed to enter their
j beads that they should protect the
, school lands as a public trust" he
aid.
; He told of the state fund being
loaned to banks by the state treasurer
.during T. T, deer's administration, and
; i the money being pocketed by the state
i treasurer. He told of the scandals In
the state land office, when the big
; timber Interests were "gobbling up the
state school lands at $1.25 an acre,
; while the ordinary citizen had not the
. slightest chance to get some of the
land.
: f He told of the manner In'Trbicb Gen
eral Odell "was given desk room In the
1 - office of the state land agent and al-
- lowed to collect a fee on every -acre
, . of lieu lands selected by the state for
me oeneni or ine Dig timber inter

'turned out to be bogus and the state

for the lands, but that Odell got away
with most of the fees he collected.
Chamberlain Sad no Scandals.
"Since George Chamberlain went
Into the governor's office you have
never heard of scandal In the state
land office," said the governor. "You
never hear of thousands of, dollars be
ing taken away from the school chil
dren of the state. The first thing that
Chamberlain did was to take steps for
the protection of the school lands.
"Oregon has about one sixth of the
standing timber In the United States,
and the Booths and the Weyerhaeusers.
and others of their kind, have about
one half of it They would have had It
all If steps had not been taken In time
to prevent them from gobbling it up.
, "Then they undertook to gobble .up
the water power In the state. Cham
berlain, when governor, promoted a
bill to keep the water power forever
In tbe hands of the people. It was
introduced in the legislature, and the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company defeated it.
Water Bights Preserved. j
"Governor Chamberlain had the bill
introduced a second .time, then he sent
me to warn them to keep their hands
off. He told me to tell them if they
didn't he would initiate a bin so rn .
stronger than the one pending that
they would wish they had kept their
hands off.
"The bill .'as passed, and now about
II per cent of the water power of the
state belongs to you people. Pittock
and the Oregonian can abuse Chamber
lain and me all they want to, but they
cannot take the water power of the
state. That belongs to you. Anyone
who wants to develop it and use it
may, but at the end of 40 years it re
turns to your hands.
"That is why the old guard Is mak
ing such an effort to get control of
state affairs again; that is why they
are endeavoring to get back to the old
convention system of making nom
tlons for office. They want the
sembly again, because if tliey can nom'
in ate the candidates It does not matter
who elects them.
Assembly Plan Favored.
"W. D. Fenton of th Southern Pa
cific Railroad company wants to take
popular government power away from
you because the railroad commission
has regulated railroad rates. The cas
ualty Insurance companies are seeking
the same, 'and because they don't like
the workmen's compensation law.
"When the assembly measure draft
ed by W. D. Fenton was filed in Salem,
on the very day Dr. Withycombe de
livered a speech in favor of going back
to the Old convention system. He
started out to make his campaign
along this line until the Oregonian
gagged him."
He described the Oregonian as the
personal organ of the big Interests, al
ways opposed to the Interests of the
plain people and fighting their pro
gressive measures.
"Did you ever know of it advocating
anything for the benefit of the work
ing people T he asked.
He declared that Dr. Withycombe
says "amen" to all that tbe Oregonian
says.
He said C N. McArthur, who as a
member of the legislature sought to
pass a law making It a crime for a
candidate to take a pledge to the peo
ple, Is one of tbe Oregonlan's candi
dates for congress the same as is
Booth, the Oregonlan's candidate for
the senate.
