Herrin, 111., Oct.' 27. One. hundred

have met death today. In an explosion
of gas at the North, mine, owned by the
Franklin County Coal company, at
Royalton, near here, i'p to noon,. 16
bodies had been recovered.
Mine officials admitted that 372
men were trapped by the explosion.
. Of this number. 62 were rescued
alive. If the figures given out by
the mine officials are correct, 90 men

divided -' equally between men and wo
men. Precinct No. 11, In the vicinity of
Fourteenth and Lovejoy streets, re

From the polling place at Twenty-
first and Northrup, precinct 14, out of
476 registered 54 had voted up to 11

At 11 a, m. women and men were
breaking even in voting at Kast Twen
ty-ninth and Yamhill streets, precinct
171. Fifty-two ballots had been cast
out qf a total registration of 300.

men and women.
At Fiftieth and Hawthorne In pre

there had been 61 votes cast up to
10:30 o'clock. The women outnumbered
the men.
The Y. M. C. A. precinct headquar
ters for No. 52 reports ,that approxi
mately one third of the 54 votes cast
up to 10:30 were women's. The pre
cinct registration4 is 296. 1
The Sellwood Y. M. C. A., polling
place for precinct 103, reported 30

tween Main and Madison streets, bo
fore 10 o'clock. Many women were
among them and as the morning wore
on the number of women rather pre
dominated over the number of men.
Election officials considered this a
fairly good showing so early In tne
day.

OF Djm. SMITH
Withycombe Is Considered a
"Figurehead" by One; An
other Revolts Nominee.
Another Republican newspaper, The
Banks Herald, has come out strongly
in support of Dr. C. J. Smith, as the
ousiness canqiaate ror governor. It
opposes tne candidacy of Dr. James
wiinycomDe, tne Kepublican nominee
because it says the people of Oregaii
do not want a figurehead in the office
oi tne cniei executive.
A few days ago the Ashland Tidings,
a Biauiiiu nepuuiican paper for 40
years, revolted against having a
"corked" candidate crammed down th
people's throat and it turned to Dr
Smith as the candidate the voters of
the state should elect governor on No
vember 3.
. The Tidings declared it was going
to support Dr Smith because he stands
boldly for ''strict law enforcement,
and does not hesitate to announce his
principles without inuendo or evasion. '
Withycombe Termed "Spineless."
On the other hand the paper char
acterizes Dr. Withycombe as "spine
less," and points out that "he an
nounces no principles, takes no stand
"v iiu"tjr ana preaches to
doctrine that has not been censored
by his managers and approved by
the machine."
The Banks Herald objects to Dr
Withycombe and has given Its suth
port to Dr. Smith for much the same
reasons. In a prominent editorial The
Herald says :
"There are two big points involved
in the present contest for the gover
norship: "The first point is contained' in the
question as to which candidate will
give the more business-like adminis
tration. "The second is as to which can be
relied upon to protect popular govern
ment. "Mr. Smith's record as school dirw-
tor for 18 years in Pendleton, as maydr
of Pendleton, and as state senator, is
known. It is as a result of his untir
ing efforts that Pendleton now has
such an efficient and splendid school
system. '

plan of state expense retrenchment
was outlined; Dr. Wlthycombe's "har

was assailed, and. the Introduction of
Asiatic labor, as favored by the Re
publican candidate, was vigorously de
nounced. "You are now each and every one
a delegate to your own county and
state convention," declared Dr. Smith
in discussing the assembly measure.
"You do not have to swallow the slate
that used to be made up by three or
four politicians in the back room of
a saloon.
"The same class of fellows are mixed

SENATOR LANE SAYS
FLEGEL WILL MAKE
FINE REPRESENTATIVE
Candidate's Training Pa'ficu
lariy Fits Him for Place;
Chamberlain Most Capable,
Absolute disavowal of any slate or
ticket, numbers of which nave ap
peared In the last few days, whether
they bear his name or not. was the
keynote of the earlier part or tne
address of A- F. Flegel, candidate ror
congress, speaking before a large
meeting in Mount Tabor school last
evening.
I wish to announce in most em
phatic language," he said, "that I have
not consented to and will not consent
to the use of my name on any ticket
of any organization. I am steering
this campaign alone, and I will win or
go down on the merits or my own
fight"
Mr. Flegel again spoke upon tne
fuedamental principle of his campaign,
saying that his election will mean
that the people of. the district wish to
indorse President Wilson.
The president was characterized as
the greatest national leader since the
days of Lincoln; as the first national
leader in many years who had carried
out his campaign promise that the
tariff would be reduced; and as the
instigator of a foreign policy that in
these troublous times is causing every
nation at war to trust its international
diplomatic problems to our ambassa
dorial and ministerial staff.
Patriotism Weeded How.
"Now Is th time for citizens of the
United States to be patriotic and not
partisan," counseled Mr. Flegel, amidst
much applause. "The president has
asked that we give him an indorse
ment. Only by voting for those who
are his out and out supporters can
this be done."
Although the audience had been in-
Lformed that Senator Lane would not
be able to appear ana aner tne lasi
speaker had concluded and the peo
ple were leaving for home. Sheriff Tom
Word announced that he baa Just gov
ten in touch with the senator and that
he was on his way. The crowd eager
ly settled back for 10 minutes.
"Senator Chamberlain has been one
of the most capable men in the sen
ate." declared Senator Lane. "I have
HVed on the east side of Portland 50
years. The people know me and be
lieve me. I could not afford to make
this statement if I did not know It is
so. If I didn't believe In him I
wouldn't be here to fight for him.
The senator drew a laugh from his
auditors many times in picturing Mr
Booth's "insatiable appetite" for tim
ber land and in describing Hanleys
laree estates in eastern Oregon.
Booth and Hanley could not be such
bitter enemies, asserted Senator Lane,
when Dame Rumor linked Booth close
ly with the Weyerhaeuser interests
and Hanley with the Hill Interests
through the Oregon Western Coloni
zation company and when both of thes
big holding companies are connected
through the railway systems.
rieg-el Is Praised.
Flegel was complimented by Sen
ator Lane for his good service in the
citv council while the senator was
mayor.
"There are 30,000 bills pending b
fore congress now," Dr. Lane said.
"The bills are nicely worded and ap
pear on their faces to have been in
stituted with the best motives. But
burled down somewhere in their bod
ies one finds a little paragraph, just
a sentence or so, that changes the en
tire meaning of the bill. That is the
joker. A man In congress must be
able to see these things, and he must
be able to distinguish quickly the
good and bad in legislation. I know

ARE WITHYCOMBE'S
'AUDIENCES' TO BE
HAND-PICKED, TOO?
Secrecy About Republican's
Speaking Schedule Looks
Queer to Those "Outside,"
Apparently his "advisors" have de
cided to permit Dr. James Withycombe,
candidate for governor, to speak only
to hand-picked audiences during the
remainder of the campaign.
This morning a Republican voter
called up Wlthycombe's headquarters
and asked for information as to where
Dr. Withycombe is going to speak
today.
"Is this Main 106, the Withycombe
headquarters." the voter asked over
the wire.
"Yes, yes, this is the headquarters,"
came the answer.
"Would you please tell me If Dr,
Withycombe is going to speak today.
and where?" the -voter asked.
"Well, I don't think he has any fixed
program, came the resDonse, some
what evasively. "Dr. Withycombe Is
circulating among his friends, but I
don't think he is down for any regular
speech. He may possibly go out to
Sherwood today or some other nearby
places and talk In a sort of an Informal
way. But," the man at the headquar
ters asked suspiciously, "who's talk'
lng? What's your name?"
"I'm a Republican, and thought Td
like to bear Dr. Withycombe, but
can't see that my name matters. You
are not afraid to have anyone hear
what your candidate has to say, axe
you?"
"Well, we axe not going t ten where
Dt. Withycombe speaks unless we
know to whom we are talking."
"That beats alL I supposed Dr.
Withycombe speaks because he wants
to be heard, and by as many as pos
sible," the voter exclaimed in ur
Drise, and rang off.
Learning of the nnsuecemtul at
tempt of this Republican voter. The
Journal sought to gain, the Informa
tion for him. So the headquarters
were called again.
Secretary Baldwin said he wasn't
sure that Dr. Withycombe was going
to make any more: speeches. He said
his next speech was scheduled for As
toria tomorrow night, but that his
advisors would meet today and they
might cancel thru date. He said no
definite information could be glyen.
At Hillsboro last Saturday evening
Dr. Withycombe "declared his intention
to "speak right out in meeting." But
the "advTsors' are evidently growing
skittish. .
