Oregon Straw Totes Pavorable.
' Drift of public sentiment in Oregon
Is accurately gauged by a series of
polls of voters taken by Samuel White,
chairman of the state Democratic na
tional committee that public opinion
iu Oregon is largely in tavor of Mr.
Wilson.
At the Smith Lumber company's
mills, near Marshfield. in Coos county,
a straw vole was taken and 90 per
cent of tha votes were for the presi
dent. A straw vote was taken of the rail-
rt.ail emrjloves on the division between
Koseburg and Ashland, showing every
employe in favor of Mr. Wilson with
the exception of four.
South Dakota Outlook Q-ood.
The normal Republican majority in
South Dakota is about li.000 yet ;
James Mee. Democratic national com
n.itteeman from that state, who was a
Visitor at neauquaners 01 wie demo
cratic national committee, today de
clared his belief that the state's elec
toral vote will go to President Wilson
In 1916.
"Prosperity Is winning many votes
Mr. Mee. "We have a large Scandi
navian population among our farmers
and their natural inclination is to oe
for the government.' In addition to
being prosperous they appreciate the
fact that this country is not involved
in the European war.
Parmers Are Prosperous.
Near Centervilie is a farmer whose
name Is T. I. Gulderson. On June 12
last, he shipped lti carloads of South
Dakota cattle to the Chicago market.
For those 16 carloads he received the
sum of J41.3SJ. That was a record
breaking price. It was the largest
amount ever paid for 16 carloads of
rattle on the Chicago market. Other
farmers are shipping tfceir cattle and
their produce to the market and they
likewise are receiving record breaking
prices. My personal opinion based upon
' many conversations is that tney will
not want to change the administration."
Hngnea' Speeches Help Wilson.
Guy Mason, secretary of the Wood
row Wilson Independent league, dis
played a batch of correspondence from
the western part of the United States
whiah told of the effect of Mr. Hughes'
spellbinding pilgrimage as disclosed
by eye witnesses. Among the letters
shown by Mr. Mason was one from C
E. LaFollette of Helena. Mont.
"I was Just talking with Governor
Stewart," wrote Mr. LaFollette. "He
tells me that J. M. Brinson of Butte
who was a candidate for congress on
the Progressive ticket four years ago,
has come out for President Wilson. We

Isador James of San Francisco, who
is active in the Independent league of !
California has written nis opinion of I
the effect of the Hughes' pilgrimage
to the far west. !
"There does not seem to be any doubt
but what the more speeches he
(Hughes) makes on the lines he is
making the more votes he is making 1
for President Wilson, and we only hope '
that he will continue making tnese ;
speeches."

WARRING REPUBLICANS
FIX UP TRUCE WHILE
HUGHES IS IN SOUTH
By NVilliam HoMer. ,
Los Angeles. Aug. ::.--( P. N. S.) j
Across the Teiachaj i mountain lies ;
peace. Charles E. Hughes crossed the
mountains Saturday nieht into south-,
cm California, arid, arriving in Los
Angeles at S:45 a. m.. found regulars
and Progressives dwelling in political
peace and unity.
At the expressed wish of Mr. Hughes
himself, made in New- York some time
ago. but disregarded in San Francisco,
the Old Guard leaders here hav e agreed
with the Progressive leaders on a
representation in the reception of the
Republican candidate In Los Angeles.
It is a mere truce, of course. The war
will go on with all the bitterness char
acteristic of the situation in San Fran
cisco as soon as the nominee has de
parted. Ply In Ointment.
And it is a fact which the Progres
sives have not lost sight of, though
they are grimly enduring it. that most
of the Progressives who have beer,
recognized in t he even break plan are
no longer Progressives. That is to say,
they have registered Republicans.
The chief factor of the situation,
however, is that Air. Hughes is no:
being embarrassed by any open break
and the necessity of choosing upon
which of the factions he will bestow
his smiles.
For Instance, when he arrived here
yesterday General Harrison Gray
Otis, a fire eating old guardsman, and
E. T. Earl, one of the Progressive
leaders, leaped forward simultaneously
as members of the"reception commit
tee ar.d grasped his hand.

"Ever since I have been in Califor
nia I have had the most enthusiastic
greetings. The meetings at San Fran

est enthusiasm. Nowhere on the tour
have I been received with greater cor
diality." Jn the Hughes party there is a feel
ing of absolute certainty. Mr. Hughes'
friends feel some concern that tne
newspapers of the oa-it are printing
stories that his reception along the

clare tr.at his experience as a cam

"Thirty-four United States senators

there are Just about 10 Republican
seats out of the 16 which the Demo

AGAINST TRANSFER OF
CONSUL GENERAL SHU
Six Companies Contend That
Official's Patriotic Activity
Has Made Enemies.
San Francisco. Aug. 51. (U. P.I
Alleging that the transfer of Chinese
Consul General S. C. Shu, who Is to-
Iday awaiting the arrival of h'.s sue-
I . r , . t-i . .
j before going to Panama, is the
j result of his efforts to secure better
consideration for he Chinese mer
chants and students landing at Angel
Island, the Chinese Six Companies
have telegraphed a formal protest to
President Wilson.
They allege the department of labor
is responsible for the change, stating
that they have learned upon good au
thority that Secretary Wilson asked
the withdrawal.
In the telegram the president was i
urged to prevent the withdrawal. It
was alleged that the bankers, mer
chants, students and other classes of
Chinese, permitted to land under tho
exclusion act, have been given scant
consideration and have been herded
into detention sheds and unnecessarily
held, sometimes for weeks, and that
Consul Shu's strong protest was
answered only by an intimation that
he might be removed.
What Will It Be ?
A bungalow of six rooms?
A house of nine rooms?
Or one still larger?
We've had any number of our clients tell us
that just as' soon as they returned from their va
cation, they would be ready to get down to
details on tl?at new home.
We expect to be very busy the coming month.
