' J)anocat Incapable, H la Cry. rth Pemocratlo par.ty la wholly In capable of conducting the business of tha nation In business way," ex claimed 'Senator Fult.n aa he devel oped his side of tha debate. . "They promlaad tha nation lower 0i of living; the laat congress- waa l&i,000,000 more costly than any pre ceding tiongreaa. The party haa been unfaithful to it trust and false to ita promises. It haa lowered the stand-ai-da of morality and Integrity and haa aown tha aaada for moilycoddle lem. ' Tiie UOO.guo.OOO aurplus that waa In tha treasury at the beginning of ' this administration haa disap peared. Tha Kepublican administra tion waa accumulating aurplus at -the rata of 13,900,000 a month; Ue Dem ocrats have been making a deficit at ',a rata of S3.ooo.OQO a month. Between Oetober, and Octp- bar, 1914, the balance of trade shifted againet this country. Within 10 montha after the Underwood tariff UU became, law so par cttUof taa railroads of the country were tn the hands of reoeivera and millions of men were walking the atreets looking for work. Business was paralysed and blighted.' ' War, Trosperity Impetus. Tha present great national prosper ity cameS through the Kuropean war, tha apeakar averred, "through the fire and amoka of battle fields, upon a ' flood of blood freighted with ruined 1 homes and the sobs of widows and or phans." 'Then, turning from these distress ful pictures, he added, "But Republican prosperity comes, not through a mael strom of misery, but clad in health and happiness, floating on the wlnt of prosperity and falling as the dew alike upon tha Juat and the unjust." Pleading an engagement. Mr. Fulton hurried away aa soon aa hla speech waa finished. "No administration can point to a truat record of platform pledges more completely kept." observed Mr. Irvlxw, But What of 1W7? don't remember that awful star nation of which Senator Fulton spoke. 1 remember nothing under the preaeut administration that was anything like that period of 1907, when a RepuhH ean administration held tha rains, when tha nation did bualneaa on clear ing houae certificates, when the banks all over the countrytook a long holi day and soup kitchens were opened for , idle men and their hungry families. Mr. Irvine called attention to the fact-that Mr, Fulton had positively made two contradictory statements that prosperity can only come to the natron ' through the Republican party, and that it came during the present admlnlatratlon through war orders. At this thee was a ripple of ap preciative amusement. Rapidly reviewing the abnormal con ditions created by war when anlpa ware detained and imports disappeared and tha wisdom of the administration waa powerfully used to avert disaster, prevent war and restore national nor mality, Mr. Irvine brought his hearers to what ha construed as the res.'- and made by us cost no more than Krjrptoks made by .Other opticians, but the Kryptoks supplied by us are better, being finished - on ; specially made ma chines and in the fin- s est most completely -equipped retail optical factory in Portland.

Dempnatratlon of . tha new t'!vnSer and overseas life buf Jn ths Wil lamette river at the Municipal dock No. 1, have been successfully conduct ed. The device, wtweb. In general re sembles .a common buoy, was manu factured by the W. G. McPherson company of Portland from a model supplied by R, W. Fairfoull, the pro moter. The buoy Is made of gaJvanlzed fcteel and it is, designed to carry lnoid 40 or more people. Seats a.re arranged so that passengers may remain in com fort while afloat. Signal lights and conning tower are abiding service under President Wil son. He ataied that broad, constructive statesmanship, that has broufihl the nation to the threshold of an ,ra'6f the greatest prosperity it has ever known has developed a distinctly na tional purpose and has commenced to do things far-sightedly, with pl u, di rection, system and order. Tha new tariff .commission will in vestigate the tariff without political juggling, ana powerful Interests will no longer be allowed to write the tariffs. The trade commission will establish the nation in new and beneficial rela tion to the trade of 'Other nations. The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce Is searching throughout the earth for information that will be of practical benefit to American business. The federal reserve law has trans ferred the nation's money to the pub lie from the sordid grasp of selfish monopoly and has moved the seat of the money power from Wall street to the national- capltol. farm Xioan law Hope. Tha farm loan law opens the door of hope to the farmers of the country. It win alter the disastrous fact that 37 per cent of the farmers of the coun try are tenant farmera and will gup ply a long time, low rato credit basis that will establish the agriculture of the country on a basis of permanent prosperity and well being. These, concluded Mr. Irvine, are but a few of SO measures of the present administration that are making for the social and economic betterment of the whole people, and there are others under way among which may be prom inently mentioned the movement for ahorter hours and higher wages. ' "Will the American people, "the speaker questioned In conclusion, "heed the calamity howla of spell binders or politicians, or will they continue In office the maa who is leading the nation toward more equita ble distribution of wealth and more general and' lasting prosperity?" Ttearue's Tirst Meeting. Yesterday's Civic League meeting, as tha first elnce the summer vacation, waa wall attended. President PP. 8. Myers prefaced tha main discussion by remarking that a newspaper's pre diction that the league will be prom inent in a fight against tha school board is erroneoua. "Tha Oregon Civic league," he said, "is an open forum which attacks no one, but heara all aides- Impartially." Movies Get the People, j i ' CoUmbua, O.,' Sept Ths " JUy. Leonard W.

A drag anchor, acting much in the manner of cen terboard, serves to keep the buoy erect. The device, wh,icb. weighs about 2000 pounds, may be launched i:vm a steamer with a single davit. Food and water to last 10 days may be stored under the seats. A number of Portland people, in cluding several women, go't Into -he water-tight compartmenf for th; dem onstration, and the safety of tha con trivance was amply proved. It is expected to manufacture the buoy in this city. $150,000 in Wheat Goes- Up in Flames Pire Caused by Uffhtataffi Attacks Big Quantity of Cereal Stored in Adams, Or., Warehouse. Pendleton, Or.'.

B.)- The center of political interest Monday will be In Maine, for tha people of this state elect two United Statea senatora on national lsauas and a governor whose campaign haa been a mixture' Of national and state questions. It will be, as usual, the flrat test ot the drift of nubile orilnlon in tha country. What that drift ia nobody . can surely tell. If you should throw a j chip into the political waters of Maine you -woma get a motion, I yga cuuiu not tell whether It was due to local current or to tha general drift. "Ap parently the tide In Maine la "Such a tide aa, moving, seems asleep." BooserelVs Visit Disappointing, Ex-President Roosevelt came to Maine to deliver a single set speech Isst week. His coming was awaited with high hopes, by the Republicans, with apprehension by the Democrats, and with great curiosity by t,he indif ferent. A casual, indifferent crowd greeted him in Portland, a larger crowd wag gathered by cheer leaders to receive him in Lewlaton. The crowd riade a good exhibition for Its else, which waa the object of the Republican cheer leader. But the crowd wanted also to hear Mr Roosevelt and only SOO0 were admitted to tha hall and Mr. Roosevelt refused to speak twice even under cover. ' j Speech Tall Via. Tha speech apparently fell flat ! i The Republicans were certainly dlsap ' pointed, the Democrats rejoiced and relaxed their tension and the Indif ferent wondered what all tha fuss was about. j Then Mr. Hughes followed Mr. ' Roosevelt. He waa received by a large but not a record breaking crowd. Bryan gathered larger crowds when he was not a candidate for president. tn Portland the enthusiasm was not marked, but Mr. Hughes made a good campaign speech. i Tha affect of his coming probably ' will be confined to the staying up of the Republican voters and thus help- ', lng. to get out the vote. XepubUoa Claims larger. ! ! Attorney ,rGenerai Patting!!), chair- ' man of the .Pemocratlo atate commit tee, claims le state by 3000 plurality for the Dembcratio candidates, while Chairman Hamm, of the Republican state committee, claims the-state by 15.000 plurality, j Mr. Pattangall believes the; Demo- , erats will poll TJ.O00, votes, -The Jto- ' publican Hchalrmansays the Republi cans will poll 7,O09. .Certainly it has , been the greatest campaign, waged in Maine- alnoe tha days of Jaroea a. ; Rlaln. " r. " . ! In making- predictions concerning Maine, It is impossible to leave out tbe fact that only once since the Civil war has 'Maine gone Democratic. The Increase of Democratic strength in the state may be clearly judged, for the Republicans are making such a great effort to. jparry a Republican atate. I The' Progressive stalwarts are about 1 evenly divided between the Democrats and Republicans. Plurality Is Vain Question. The Republicana are really working to roll up a big plurality for its ef fect upon the nation. The Democrats ara striving to hold down the plurality for the same reason. In tha meantime, the Democratic campaign has gone so well that tha more enthusiastlo of the Democrats sincerely believe they have I a hope of success. However thl may i be, the election will be significant In ' any event. If the Republicans do not !?arry m0 th,an 8000 " T!111 "ay i be a Deifrocratio victory. If the Demo. i CTat8 8nouid carry it, it would be an extraordinary and significant defeat j fo'tn Republican party Chairman Pattengall made this final statement: Total Vote to Be Same as 1912. "The political situation In Maine haa ! pretty well cleared up and it is pos- , l" " ! probable results of Monday's voting. Contrary to the earlier outlook, the total vote will not vary much from that of the September election in 1912.
