ism. Eugene V. Debs, pre-eminent
among socialists in America and thrice
the candidate of his party for the
presidency of the United States, was
a vialtor In Pendleton yesterday al
though his coming was unheralded
and his short stay unattended by the
observances usually accorded an Il
lustrious personage. He came In yes
terday morning via Walla Walla from
a tour of eastern Washington and was
en route to Baker City, where he was
scheduled to speak during the after
noon. Unfortunately, owing to some
misunderstanding he missed connec
tions and immediately on arrival here
made arrangements with sam Thomp
son for a record breaking auto run
to that city. Just before starting,
however, a telephone message con
veyed the Information that It was Im
possible to secure a hall for the even
ing and the auto run was abandoned.
Mr, Peos with his secretary left on
the evening train for Nam pa, Idaho,

Third Visit Hero.
Yesterday was the third time this
great exponent of socialism has paid
Pendleton a visit Seventeen years
ago he first came here In behalf of
the American Railway Union to or
ganize the railroad employes In this
city. A few years later he became
Identified with the populist cause and
was once tendered the nomination for
the presidency by that party, which
nomination, however, Tne refused.
When the populists Joined forces with
the democrats. Debs out of loyalty
espoused the cause of domocracy and
throughout the 1898 campaign of
William Jennings Bryan, he cham
pioned the candidacy of the boy ora
tor. It was at this time that he paid
his second visit to Pendleton and ad
dressed an audience here, advocating
the free sliver plank. During the
January following Bryan's defeat,
Debs publicly declared himself a so
cialist, assisted In organizing the par

Tells of Socialism.
In speaking of the cause to which
he has dedicated his life, Mr. Debs
estimated the dues-paying member
ship of his party at 60,000, the vot
ing membership at half a million, and
the believing number at two million.
"These are stirring days for living
men," he went on to say. The day
of crisis is drawing near and social
ists are exerting all their power to
prepare the people for It.
"The old order of society can sur
vive but little longer. Socialism Is
next in order. The swelling minority
sounds the warning of the impending
change. Soon that minority will be
come the majority and then will come
the co-operative commonwealth.
"Every worklngman should rally to
the standard of his class and hasten
the full-orbed day of freedom.
"Every sympathizer with labor,
every friend of justice, every lover of
humanity, should support the social
ist party as the only party that is or
ganized to abolish industrial slavery,
the prolific source of the frightful
evils that afflict the people,"
Makes Predictions.
When asked for his views concern
ing national politics and for his ideas
as to who would be the next presi
dent of the United States, the dis
tinguished visitor said: "I would not
hazard an opinion as to whom the
American people will choose for their
president. There are times of politi
cal upheaval and there is a process of
disintegration at work which will re-

democrats."
"No, I will not be the socialistic
candidate," he said in answer to a
question. "X have been tendered the
nomination three times and there
seems to be an unwritten law that
three trials are all that one man Is
entitled to."
Talks About Warren,
Mr. Debs Is a member of the staff
of the "Appeal to Reason," the prop
agandist paper of the socialists pub
lished at Girard, Kansas. In speak
ing of this paper, ho referred to the
recent attack on Fred D. Warren, Its
editor, and the consequent sentencing
of him to prison for misusing the
malls.
"Ever since Fred D. Warren es
poused the cause of Moyer, Haywood
and Pettlbone," he said; "ever since
he threw the flashlight of the Appeal
to Reason upon that hideous kidnap
ing conspiracy and exposed the cap
italist malefactors and rescued their
Intended 'victims from the gallows;
ever since then he has been a marked
man. Spies and Informers and de
tectives have been employed to en
trap him and to ruin and destroy the

"The charge upon which he was In

OF STEALING WHEAT
WELL KNOWN YOUNG
MAN OP HELIX ARRESTED
Roy Blake Charge With' Taking
Wheat from Puget Sound Ware
house Evidence That He Raided
Other Warehouses Also.
Roy Blake, a well known young
rancher of near Helix, has been ar
rested on a charge of stealing wheat
from the Puget Sound warehouse at
Helix and Is now lodged In the coun
ty Jail. He was arraigned before Jus
tice of the Peace Joe H. Parkcs this
forenoon, waived preliminary hearing
and was held to the circuit court un
der 1750 bonds. Not being able to
furnish the money he was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff and la
now In Jail.
Though the information filed
against the young rancher only
charges him with taking four sacks
of wheat from the Puget Sound com
pany's building, it Is understood that
the officers have evidence tending to
show that he took wheat from the
Farmers' Mutual warehouse and also
from Northern Pacific freight cars.
About 100 sacks have been stolen I
all. .The relatives of the young man
are making an effort to secure bonds
for him but In case this Is successful
he will probably be arrested on a
second charge at the Instance of the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
The present complaint was made by
the Puget Sound Warehouse com
pany through J. E. Montgomery,
agent.
JOHNSON PREFERS RING
TO DANGEROUS SPEEDWAY
Chicago, Oct, 81. Jack Johnson
said today he woulfl never attempt
to break Into automobile racing.
Hereafter he will confine his ener
gies to pugilism. "I can drive on a
straight road," he said, "but I wont
take chances, hitting corners fti"

me."
J. N. Burgess, assemblyite candi
date for state senator and eleventh
hour convert to statement No, 1,
wanted the statement No. 1 legisla
tors to break their sworn pledges two
years ago. He sought to have the
woolgrowers tot the state to unite In
a move to break, up the statement No.
1 phalanx and elect a republican sen
ator In place of Chamberlain. This
In spite of the fact tnat Chamberlain
had carried the state In the general
elestlon held In June and in spite of
the fact that a majority of the mem
bers of the legislature were state
ment No. 1 men and therefore un
der pledge to make him senator.
Of Burgess action at this time
there is absolute proof.. It Is In his
own words. Two years ago Mr. Bur
gess was president of the state wool
growers' association and he, presided
at the annual meeting held In Hepp
ner. In his annual address, which

Strenuous.
New York, Oct 31. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt today flatly refused to
make a public statement that he would
not be a candidate for president in
1912. His refusal followed the efforts
of republican leaders to Induce the
former president to Issue such a state
ment to be used in the present cam
paign to aid Stlmson, candidate for
governor of New York. The leaders
declared that such a statement would
show Roosevelt's activity in behalf of
Stlmson was wholly unselfish. Roose
velt Intimated his personal plans
would not hurt Stimson's chances.
The colonel's friends intimated that
the leaders, who wanted the statement,
had In view the object of putting
Roosevelt out of the running In 1912.
The colonel Is entering on the last
days of the campaign vigorously. To
night he will make nine speeches for
the republican nominee in this city

In Iowa and Ohio. He will return to
Baltimore and later to New York
where his last speech of ttl? campaign
will be delivered on Monday night.
LAST CAMPAIGN WEEK.
Indications Are Rcfnubllcnn Will

Portland, Oct. SI. The last weeki of
the Oregon campaign began todaj(
with the political horizon indicating
a sweeping republican victory save
for one office, the outcome of the gu
bernatorial fight between the repub
lican nominee, Jay Bowerman and
Oswald West, democratic candidate.
Democratic leaders conceed that the
rest of the democratic ticket is gen
erally beaten. Throughout the cam
paign they have concentrated on
West In an effort to defeat Bowerman
whom, they charge, is against state
ment No. 1. Republicans assert Bow
erman will carry eastern and north
ern Oregon, and will probably split
even In Multnomah county, while
West is almost certain to roll up a
majority in southern Oregon. The re
plblican majority is approximately
24.000.

PRESIDENT OF
STATEMENT NO.
Burgess wet into details regarding
the efforts then beings made to pre
vent a lowering of the tariff on wool.
He asked that the woolmen stand to
gether In the defense of tariff on
wool and while treating of that sub
ject said;
nere It Is.
"We never can do it by electing a
democratic United States senator to
represent us at the national capital.
To do this It will be necessary to have
the p roper representative at
Washington, men who will have
Influence with the administration and
who are lined up with the majority
In congress. This cannot be done by
sending a minority tenator from this
state, and I trust that every sheep
man In this state will give his sup
port and assistance to the election
of a man whose political affiliations
and whose past principles and pres
ent policies assures the woolgrowers
of this state that he will stand for no
reduction In the tariff on wool."

Resolution Then Sprung.
Following the recommendation of
President Burgess a resolution was
prepared by R. F. Hynd of Heppner
and was not read along with other
resolutions adopted by the conven

at the last moment and the men be

"railroad" the resolution through the
meeting. In effect the resolution pro
vided that the woolgrowers urge the
election of a republican senator re

gardless of the fact that Governor
Chamberlain had been given the pop

j will visit the principal cities of Ida-
ho, Washington, Oregon and Califor-
nlt to ascertain the extent to which
I the people are being defrauded by
1 provision dealers by the use of short
weignis ana measures. Recently a
like crusade was conducted In the
east with startling results. The bu
reau is attempting to learn the extent
of short weight frauds which the
government Is powerless to prosecute
as this comes only under state laws.
The government hopes to awaken In

LED MOVE
THEIR PLEDGES
have smooth sailing before the eon
ventlon. Dan P. Smythe, secretary
of the woolgrowers association,
sprang to his feet the moment the
resolution was read and led an Im
passioned fight against Its adoption.
In a fiery speech he denounced the
scheme in strong terms and
onded by K. G. Warner of this coun
ty and by George Currm of Heppner.
In substance these men argued that
the Woolgrowers' association was a
business organization and should stay
out of politics. Also that It would be
dishonorable to seek to make state
ment No. 1 legislators break their
pledges they had made their people.
Mr. Smythe moved that the resolu
tion be tabled and the motion carried
by an overwhelming vote. News
stories telling of this affair were pub
lished at the time by the East Ore
gonlan, the Oregon Journal and other
papers.
