mer's bliss; '
It was born In storm, and Its glory
prung
Where the bolts of the battle shrieked
and sung;
Through smoke and cloud it has won
the right
To float and flaunt when the days are

We know what souls in Its white stars
shine,
And the blood on its crimson spilled

We know the strife and the woes and

CAKE APPEALED
10 REPUBLICANS
Most Forcible Address by Re
publican Senatorial Candi
date Last Night,!
OREGON NOT TO BE
A DEMOCRATIC STATE.
II. M. Cake Indorses Roosevelt Poli
cies, Pleads for the Welfare of Ore
gon, ami Patriotically Reviews the
Principles of the Republican Party
Dignified and Successful Cam
paign Closed in -This City Last
Night.
Emphatically indorsing every prin
ciple of the Roosevelt administration,
reiterating his devotion to statement
Xo. 1, caustically grilling his demo
cratic opponent for assuming to be
the guardian and sole supporter of
the principle of the popular election
of United States senators In Oregon,
and closing a most successful cam
paign with a graphic, studious and
forcible review of republican princi
ples and the duty of republicans, H.
M. Cake delighted a large audience
at the court house In this city last
night.
Mr. Cake gave a most forcible and
lucid review of wht the republican
party stands for, and urged members
of that party to heed the principles
of the party and remember that thi
is a national election In which a
United States senator is to be elected
and when Oregon is to give a signal
for the presidential campaign which la
to open within a short time.
That the state of Oregon will cast
Its normal republican vote for the re
publican ticket and that It will not be
"switched" into the democratic ranks
this year by the election of a demo
cratic senator who is making a vigor
ous campaign as a "non-partisan" is
the prediction of Mr. Cake who has
campaigned the entire state during
the past two months and who Is in-
touch with the sentiment of the peo
ple. He has faith In the principles
of his party and especially does he
find the people enthusiastic in the be
lief that the best results will come to
Oregon by the election of a republican
senator to work with the majority
party in congress for needed legisla
tion. Mr. Cake's address was listened to
attentively and he was greeted with
freqaent applause as he clinched ar
guments for the success of the re
publican ticket In Oregon next Mon
day. He is a forcible and pleasing
speaker and makes no attempts at or
atorical flights and uses no abuse In
his addresses but discusses principle,,
philosophically, directly, candidly and
shows the logic of his position by ex
haustive and plain arguments which
cannot be mistaken.
He devoted some time to the alleg
ed non-partlsanism of Ooverner
Chamberlain and showed how the
honey-coated words of the governor
contain on the Inside the real bitter
taste of the democratic dose, and that
if the governor Is elected senator from
Oregon that he will not be a non
senator, but a democratic senator,
voting with the democrats, working
with them, training with them and
planning with them to block republi
cans in carrying out the principles of "
the party.
His address was filled with patri
otic arguments for the welfare of his
state and for the success and continu
ation of the Roosevelt policies which
have done so much to advance the
common Interests of the nation and he
closed the campaign in this county In
a most auspicious and creditable man
ner and there Is no doubt whatever
about the success of republican prin
ciples at the polls next Monday.
