FINDS COAST PROGRESSIVE After Vlattiag Alaska, Will Retnrn to Portland to Sao If ore of Country. : rieased With the -Exposition. - f Far from being the fire ater which the opposition press throughout the country had pictured him, Benjamin Ryan Tillman. - senior United States senator from South Carolina, la a man of calmness and slow utterance. At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry W. Hughes:1124 East Davis street, yesterday afternoon, he told of the tri umphs ' of Pemocracy ;n subdued : and almost reluctant manner. Only when asked . to talk about President Wilson did he become enthusiastic and then he declared no man has more com pletely the confidence of the American people than this man of judgment, dig. ulty and power. . :. , ..- Much Fleased "With Exposition. --'"Senatbr .Tillman. Mrs. Tillman and Mlfcs Tillman arrived Friday evening from the south. ; They had ' inspected the Panama-Pacific exposition . in a leisurely: and titoirough manner after having coma fromi the east by water and threaded the -Panama canal. On i the subject of the exposition the sen ator was inclined to be voluble, de claring " that the' Canadian and Cali fornia exhibits alone are of sufficient worth to Justify the expense of a trip across th a continent. ' ' "t didn't? hare much opportunity to meet people," . explained the senator. But everyone I did talk politics with waff Confident President - Wilson has been 'growing in f strength constantly , since the ' Interchange ; of diplomatic notes wittr Germany has been going on. lie should be reelected next year by a ; larger majority than in 1902. Ja has shown himself to be a man Of calmness.' with a definite program i in mind which he Is working out in a dignified way. ' I Bees' Progressives la West. V find the Bepublicans In Oregon are of a much different type than our .Republicans back east," continued the senator. "They are broader, more pro gressive, have the idea that the party after all Is merely, a means of secur ing the best possible government rather, than aa ant end of itself. Other " wise, they would not have reelected f George Chamberlain last fall and would ' not have elected Harry Lane when the state is so largely Republican. ; "Now, back eaat, v It would have .taken a : gigantic political upheaval to allow the election of a Democratic sen 1 ; ator In a rock-ribbed Republican .state. : It's Just in line, though, with the whole ! I spirit of the west. - The country is '. ; young and has hardly begun to touch j- Its native ; resources. ; Oregon Is (.re-.-'inarkably fortunate oecause it baa Its i full share of these resources, together t 1 with' a scenic setting -that cannot be . s j surpassed. : . Notes Big Improvements Here. . ' "Portland has. undergone many 1m- i. provcments ' since I ' was : here ' before. .That was in 190?, Just, after the San . i Francisco earthquake and fire.

Francisco - 'tame back' and kept the business the - other cities -wererfighting -over?; iyy i After tarrying in Portland for a Week or ten days the senator and his i ' family will go to Skagway, Alaska for a "glimpse of ; the rugged scenery ! -of the Lynn canal.

Mechan ical college at Fort Hill, John D. Calhoun's old home. - Such . a , . re sponsive chord did this -school sound that the Democrats put him forward in 1890 . as a candidate for . governor.
