Contest Harrows Down.
"I have taken the position all' the
time." said Mr. Howard, "that Justice
Hughes Is entitled to be believed '.when
he says he Is not a candidate. "This
i.arrows the contest to Burton and
Cummins. The Roosevelt ' men . real
ize that to try to write Roose
velt's nam in on the , ballot
in the face of the organized cam
paign conducted by Burton and Cum
mins would yield disappointing results.
The logical thing to do under the cir
cumstances then is for the Roosevelt
men to go to Cummins, as he stands
for those principles for which Roose
evlt stands."

result it Is expected that Cummins

; It is eafe to say that Coe and Neu
"hausen and the other Progressive lead
ers of the state would not have joined
forces with the Cummins managers un
less they knew that their vigorous
speaking chieftain In the east would
be In harmony with their move. In
other words, they would not, acting In
dependently, do anything that would
tend to balk the game In Chicago.
See Western Man's Chance.
The letter being sent out by How
;ard calls attention to the fact that "for
' the first time in the history of the Re
publican party there Is a real chance
to nominate and elect a western man,"
a"d that ' it is needless to call atten
tion to the necessity for the western
states to unite in order to get the rec
ognitlon to which they are entitled."
The letter also says that the entire
west has always been under the domi
nation of the east, and that it seems
': needless to urge the golden opportu
nity presented for the Republicans of
jOregon to play so important a part in
'helping to nominate a man who will
not .only unite the west, but also the
, Republican party, and Insure success
?ln November.

Br. Coe's telegram to Burnett Davis of
Corvallis, which sets out that Roose

John Kelleher, well known Seattle
lawyer, is dead here today of acute
appendicitis. Kelleher was stricken
Saturday after several hours spent

Astoria, Or., May 17. In an hour's
talk at the Astoria theatre last night.
United States Senator A. W. Cummins
roundly scored President Wilson and
the Democratic party for the manner I
in which government affairs have been
conducted during the past three and
cne-half years.
The speaker was introduced by
Mayor Johnson and the crowd that
greeted the speaker completely filled
the theatre, although it was not as
enthusiastic as might be. desired.
The speaker emphasised the point
that the only way to restore pros
perity and happiness to the country
was to put the Republican party in
power again at the coming election.
Appeals for Cooperation.
"My mission to your state," sa.Id
he, "is to appeal to the Republicans
of Oregon to forget their differences
which have weakened us in the past,
and stand together for restoration of
the party to power. Wood row Wil
son was elected president in 1912 be
cause six million persons voted for
him and he now holds the office by
less than one-fourth of the vote in
the United States. It is the duty of
the Republicans," said he, "to drive
Wilson and the Democrats . from
power."
Praises Columbia's Month.
The speaker criticized the adminis
tration for the tariff law now in ef
fect, contending that it does not pro
tect this country from unfair compe
tition abroad. He paid a glowing
tribute to the mouth of the river,
tut stated that he would be unable
to predict the growth it deserved
under the present tariff law.
The war tax measure came in for
its share of criticism, the speaker
contending that the government would
have been deficient to the amount
of $40,000,000 had not the tax in
question been made.
"The fact is," said the speaker,
"the government Is 1100,000,000 short
at the present time and the admlls
tratlon Is hunting around to find some
thing else to tax."
Alleges Extravagance.
The senator accused the adminis
tration of extravagance, stating that
more offices have been created since
Wilson was elected than had been cre
ated in 15 years prior to that time.
The repeal of the act allowing Ameri
can vessels free use of the canal
came In for an excellent rap, also the
president's policy in Mexico. The
crowd did not appear to be with the
speaker on the Mexican question and
the expected applause did not ma
terialize. The senator advocated preparedness,
stating that he would like to see an
army and navy that would prevent
any hostile nation from setting foot
on United States soil.
