I'orvallis, Or., Oct. t. -Senator
George 1-:. Chamberlain carried his
campaign for reelection into Benton
county yesterday, speaking at Philo
math In the afternoon and Corvallis In
the evening. At both places he was
received with the same enthusiasm
which lias marked his present tour In
every part of the state.
About ,800 persons heard him at the
MaJeNtic theatre In this city last night,
filling the playhouse to its capacity.
The audience, while not a demonstra
tive one, listened to his exposition of
the administration policies with the
greatest attention. It was one of the
best audiences the senator has yet ad
dressed. It followed his every word;
It grasped the meaning of every point
he made; it appreciated to the fullest
.extent his delicious humor.
All Listen intently.
In the psychology of audiences It
was in. perfect tune with the speaker.
The very air of the theatre was
charged with something that told that
every man, woman and child was lis
tening with all his might and was ab
sorbing every word and thought. In
fact, it approached the Ideal as ari
audience. During the 90 minute ad
dress there, were no yawns; there was
nothing but the closest attention and
appreciation. Senator Chamberlain had
a messuge for the people of Corvallis
and they realized the fact
The senator spoke frankly and can
didly of his race tor the senate and
outlined clearly the reform legislation
accomplished by congress during the

OLD TIE BUNCH OF
L BOSSES IS
OF ASSEMBLY
Conscienceless Gang's Aim to
Overturn Direct Primary,
Declares C. J, Smith,
"Look wejl t.the clasj of people
who are trying to persuade you to
abandon the direct primary by the
restoration of the assembly," warned
Dr. C. J. Smith, Democratic candidate
lor governor, in a .stirring speech be
fore 300 people at the 4 Portsmouth
school last night. "You will find it is
the same old standpat crowd which
got your school lands, your timber
lands and your tide lands., Let me
ask you In the name of good govern
ment and honesty to yote down the
obnoxious assembly bill when you go
to vote next Tuesday.
Dr. Smith was only one of the
speakers who addressed the people of
the Portsmouth section in the biggest
local meeting of the campaign. A
meeting, attended by nearly as many
was held at the Ockley Green school,
the same speakers addressing both
gatherings.
Torn Word was there, and got as
hearty an ovation as anybody. A. V.
Flegel, Democratic candidate for con
gress, was there and told the people
the Oregon issues are hardly separa
ble from national Issues. B. Lee Pa
get was there and told the people the
state treasurer they select should be
in such a spirit of cooperation with
the governor they select that the ad
ministration of state institutions
would not be, hampered. Lester V.
Humphreys was there and told of the
triumphal record of Senator Chamber
lain. And finally. Dr. A. K. Higss was
there and told the people that if they
chose him . to the legislature he would
work for the best interests of the
State.
Suffrage Greatest Achievement.
S. S. Apple presided at Portsmouth,
presenting Dr. Smith first as a man
who would stand between the legisla
ture and the people.
Dr. Smith declared that the,govern
ment of this state is the great educa
tional factor in American politics, be
cause this state was the first to
adopt the initiative and referendum
and one of the first to' establish the
direct primary and direct vote for
United States senator.
"The greatest achievement of all."
he said, "came in 1912, when we men
voted for etiuu.1 suffrage in the state,
giving the women as much voice in
government as the males formerly had
assurrted.
"There is a certain class of stand
pat politicians which has no faith in
government by the people. The Re
publicans all the time are trying to
amend the primary law. They want
the assembly to direct us on the ques
tions to be voted upon.

There is a bill on the ballot to turn" Oregon back to as

with a heavy backing of money to aid in its passage. Its

Withycombe Really Admits It
Despite Secrecy Regarding Withycombe's Present Meetings
Journal Reprints Recent Speech in Order to Treat
Candidate Absolutely Fair in Campaign.
.
DIPnCULT TO XiXAKXT SB. WITHYCOMBE'S SPEAKING SATES.
Dr. Withycombe has been complaining that The, Journal was mls-
"quoting his utterances tfnd misstating his position on public ques-
tions. In an effort to be perfectly fair, the paper tried yesterday to
find out from his headquarters where Dr. Withycombe was to speak,
but was denied . all information on the subject. A voter tried to as-
certain, but the headquarters also refused to let him know what
. meeting the doctor was to address.
- It was the purpose, and it is still the purpose, of The Journal, in
fairness to him, to print stenographic reports of any extempore
speeches Dr. Withycombe may deliver, if it can be learned where his
addresses are to be made.
4 Meanwhile, The Journal reprints his- complaint against The Jour-
nal as made by him in his speech at Hillsboro, a verbatim report of
which appeared in Monday's Journal. It is the very best The Journal
can do under the unusual circumstances.
By a Staff Correspondent.
Hillsboro, Oct. 23. Dr. Withy
combe said in part:
"When I was nominated 1
thought I could stay home and, of
course, be elected. What was my
suprise and grief and utter amaze
ment to have a particular paper, I
need not mention, but which you
all know, come out and claim I
was 'muzzled' and 'bottled' and
'corked' and a lot of other things.
"Oh, my friends, this isn't; 'so.
What was my surprise and indig
nation to see the governor come
out and work against me. I for
give him, for I believe he is in
sane. What do you think of a
governor who will attack the rec
ord of a man who has lived here
40 yeafa?"
Declares Governor Crazy.
"Oh my friends. My record is
open. There is no blotch on jmy
public or private life. My record
is spotless. It is clean. I don't
defend a single charge against me.
I have been grossly misrepresented
and held up to public ridicule. Oh.
my friends, I have been pointed at
as a failure.
"Our governor comes out with
attacks on my record. He should
be in , the madhouse. Isn't it a
shame? Oh, my friends, to pay
your governor $14 a day and have
him spend his time running around
to belittle me. ,
Resents Journal's Criticism. '
"Oh, my friends, think of a paper
that is supposed to represent some
thing, coming out every day with
double column editorials and car
toons against me. I snap my fin-
GOVERNOR!
gers at them. I was the first one
to come out for the single item
veto. I have never expressed one
word of opposition to the single
item veto. Because I said it might
be a two-edged sword, this paper
has attacked me. Suppose we have
a vicious governor like a certain
one I could name, who told some
one If they would help, him in a
certain matter he would veto any
six bills they picked out. They say
I am spineless.
"Oh, my friends, this is not bo,
either. I wear no man's collar. I
stand on my own feet.
Would Have Harmony.
"Why are our taxes so high, my
friends? It is because the gover
nor and the legislature work at
cross purposes. They have come
out and said Withycombe will let
the legislature ride over him, Just
because I advocated harmony.
They twist up what I say till the
people don't know what I mean.
"If they bring In too large an
appropriation I will veto it. It is
because the governor and the leg
islature do not get along that the
taxes are so high. My farm ...o
miles from here, and I only get
$S00 a year for it, and last year I
paid $41G taxes.
"Oh, my friends, this Is too
much. It is too large a burden.
We can't stand it. If I go In as
governor l will try to give you
something good.
Expected an Easy Time.
"Oh, my friends, 1 am going to
speak right out in meeting. I am
surprised. I thought I would have
an easy time, but I am having an
exceedingly hard time. I have had
to see as; many people as I can. I
have been to five towns today.
"In Southern Oregon what do
you think I found? My opponent
has poisoned the minds of those
who have the dry issue on their
brains. He tells them that all the
saloons are supporting me. If they
are I don't know why they should.
If they are supporting me I don't
know it. I want you all to know
that any laws there are I will en
force rigidly. I stand for a higher
civilization. I stand for everything
good and yet they assassinate my
character.

GREAT EXPANSION OF

Premier Asks That the New

Toklo, Oct. 28. Immediate expan
sion of the army and navy, that Japan
might be able to act quickly in the
event of an emergency, was urged by
Premier Okuma at a meeting of the
party leaders here tonight. It was
expected the new budget would pro
vide the largest military fund in
years.
In what way the Japanese might he
called on "to act quickly" was not ex
plained in the foregoing dispatch, and
it seemed unlikely that the censor
would have permitted the transmission
of an explanation if one had been of
fered. The possibility has been recognized
all along In Tokio, of course, of com
plications with China, growing out of
the mikado's operations against the
Germans on the Shantung peninsula.

has been made that Japan might be

CONSIDER BLESSINGS
United States Permitted to

(United Pre Leased W1r.
Washington, Oct. 28. President
Wilson" Thanksgiving proclamation,
issued today, says:
"It has long been the honored custom
of our people to turn in the fruitful
autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
many blessings and mercies to us as
a nation. The year now drawing to a
close since we last observed our na
tional day of thanksgiving has been,
while a year of dlsciplrffce because of
the mighty forces of war and of
changes which have disturbed the
world, also a year of special blessing
to us.
"It has been vouchsafed us to re
main at peace, with honor, and, in
some part, to succor suffering fend sup
ply the needs of Hhose in want. We
have been privileged, by our own peace
and self control in some degree to
steady counsels and shape hopes and
purposes of a day of fear and distress.
Our people have looked upon our own
life as a nation with deeper compre
hension, fuller realization of-their re
spoiteibilities as well as of their bless
ings, and with a keener sense of moral
and practical significance of what their
part among the nations of the world
may come to be.
"The hurtful effects of a foreign
war in their own industrial and com
mercial affairs jj ave made them feel
more fully and see more clearly their
mutual ititer-dependenee upon onein
other, and has stirred them to helpful
cooperation such as they have seldom
practiced before. They have been
quickened "by a great moral stimula

peace, their earnest pity and disinter

revealed them to themselves, as well
as to the world.

Raising of Fare on Linnton
Run Causes County Com
missioners to Act.
The county commissioners this morn
ing revoked the franchise of the United
Railways to operate their electric line
along the St. Helens road. The order
of revcation becomes effective Febru
ary 1, 1915, and the tracks must be
removed within 30 days from that date.
It says, or the county will remove the
equipment and charge the cost to the
company in accordance with provisions
of the franchise.
The action of the company in raisins
its fare to and from Linnton from 6
cents, as provided In the franchise, to
10 cents as allowed by the state rail
joad commission, is the basis of the
order for removal. The order was
made on recommendation of District
Attorney Evans.
The distant date was set for the
order to become effective that the com
pany might take steps to arrange for
new franchises on the city streets
should the company decide to let the
revocation go by without legal oppo
sition and to make use of the Hill
tracks from I.innton to the city for
its electric line. What action ths
company may take has not been de
termined. The franchise was granted
to tbe company May 16, 1908, and was
for 25 years. The revocation was pe
titioned for by many residents of
Linnton and the order follows a hard
fight made by Lftinton people to se
cure the return of the 5 cent fare.
No action will be taken by the Unit
ed Railways In the matter until L. C.
Oilman, prenident of the North Bank
system, of which the United Railway
Is a subsidiary, returns from Phila
