ICIK8 TRANSLATED INTO LAW BY WULAON BRINGS FORTH HOUNDS OF CHEERS. Preceded by the greatest political parade held in 1'ondleton In man) yearn, Senator George K. Chamber lain Salarday even In; gave Wilson Day a fitting climax by a comprehen Jive survey of the progressive poll don traoaittted into law during the administration of Woodrow Wilson. He apoke In the Oregon theater to a crowd that overflowed that build ing. Not only woa the main floor and gallery packed but 76 or 100 people at on the stage, and at that many could not got in to hear the speaker. The parade of marchers, led by the band, left the postofflce corner short ly after 7 o'clock, went south on Oar den to Railroad, thence to Main, north on Main to Water, thence back tg Court and up Court to the theater. There were between 400 and 500 men, woiren and children In the line of march and not a few of them were re. publicans. Manners bearing signifi cant Inscriptions were carried and brought forth cheers from the crowds that lined the streets to see the pa' rsde pas. following the, band came a group f high school girls carrying a large American flag. At the head of the children's section was a huge banner proclaiming that "We Are Not Sol diers' Orphans.' Every child carried an American flag and evory man and woman that followed bore a flag or s Wiion pennant. Among the many In the parade were quite a number of railroad men and they bore a banner that reflected the rplrlt In whlcn they received the eight hour law. Another banner re corded the adoption of a child labor law nd another showed a big ham mer under wh'ch was Inscribed "Hughe' Platform." Hv the time tha parade was ended the theiter was already half filled and before the curtain was rolled up peo ple ware being turned away. The Adamson law. Ainator Chamberlain devoted con siderable, time to explaining the pas. sage of. the Adamsnn eight hour law which, he anld, has been more mis represented during the prosent cam paign than any other one act of the adinlnlrtratlon He recited the charge. of republican campaign speakers that the law had been pass ed through by force and that Wilson had nblectly surrendered to the rail way brotherhoods. "If a man makes an untrue state ment and has access to the record, we must assume that he has uttered a deliberate falsehood," said the sen ator. He then, went on to tell of the circumstances leading up to the pa sage of the law. Six hundred men of the brotherhoods had come to Wash ington to confer w'th the railway managers. They were asking for an eight hour day with time and a half for overtime. They expressed a will, lngness to arbitrate this point but the railroads Insisted upon arbltrat'ng all the roncess'on granted to their em ployes In the past 55 years. This the brotherhoods refused to do, taking the poslt'on that they should not ar bitrate privileges to which they al ready had title. The two sides, were deadlocked and they left Washington. Th strike had been called tor Sept. 4 bj referendum vote of the brotherhood unions. Pres'dent Wilson saw that 100,000,000 people of the nation, d rectly Interested In the outcome, had not had representation. There was no law to compel arbitration or media tion but the president thought the great power of his office might bring snrne solution. Ha called the 100 rep resentatives to Washington and dis cussed with them their stand. He then called the railway managers and heard their contentions. He tried to suggest grounds upon which they could get together but both sides were obdurate. The men left Wash ington again, both sides to prepare for the strike. It was not unt'l then, the senator ssld. that Wilson decided to appeal to congress for help. He called the steering committee of the senate to gether of which 8enator Chamberlain la t member and outlined the Uua. tlou. The Adamson bill was the re sult, and he called attention to the fact that over sixty republican among them Joe Cannon, voted for the passage of the bill. The brother, hoods never even asked legislation, he Bald, It being contrary to their policy. He briefly described the effects uf such a strike, .had It been called. A five dny strike, he said, would have meant the starvation of babies lu large cities where the milk supply is dependent upon dully trains. It would have also cut off the food sup. ply of the cities and would have stop ped payrolls. It would have meant absolute destruction to the perishable fruit crops of the wrrble nation. Had the strike been called, he said the same men who are now criticizing the Adamson law would have charged up to the president all the death, mis. ery, and destruction which would have resulted. He dUwuafed Hughes' rapid shifts In his public references to the law. At first, he said, Hughes criticized the law because It gave the laborers eight hours but changed when a number of big facorles announced their Immedi ate intention of putting the eight hour day Into effect. Then Hughes declar ed he favored tho principle but was opposed to the method. Senator Chamberlain also discuss ed briefly the child labor law and oth er constructive acts of the administra tion and directed attention to Hughes' Milwaukee speech In which he said these laws must be repealed for the good of the country. He predicted that, if Hughes were elected, he would not dare to repeal any one of them. To do so would Insure a one-term tenure, he said. In touching upon the foreign and Mexican policy of . Wilson, the sen ator pointed out how Washington had been horned in- effigy -because he refused to embroil the country in controversy with France and England, now Uncoln was abused and lam pooned because he used the diplomat Ic rather than the military arm of the government In controversies with England and Mexico, and of how Taft gained universal praise from those now assailing Wilson because he fol lowed the same course with reference to Mexico that Wilson has. "They say that a thousand men have been killed In Mexico,'' he said, "but If we had gone down there with our army and navy, many times a thousand of your boys, husbands and brothers would have 'been sacrificed In the Interests of mine owners and capitalists howling for intervention. And I am sure that those women who sent out the 'Golden 8peclal' would not have been the first to offer up their sons" Senator Chamberlain was Introduc. ed by Judge J. W. Maloney as the man who had received more honors from the people of Oregon than any other one man. He was given a most enthusiastic reception as he arose to speak and, dur'ng the two hours ensu. I ing, he was cheered again and again as he summed up the achlvements of the Wilson administration and ans wered the attack of the president's opponents. He divided his speech Into three parts. The first dealt with some of the constructive legislation put through by Wilson, the second treat ed of Wilson's policy toward warring Europe and the third dealt with the Mexican situation. He did not say anything that could be construed as abuse of Hughes. He gave that cand'date credit for being patrlot'c and of having pure motives, but he criticized his campaign severe, ly, declaring that It had been, from (Continued on Page t.)

THE W.i ISSUE WILL COME HOME TO YOU IF THE WRONG MAN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT If this country Nhould go to war the men who would bo asked to of fer their lie anon the battlefield would not be the sons and hit hands of the socially magnificent ladles whow names adorn the committee Uiat fuianccd the (ridden Sc-Utl on lis wondrous tour of the west, said Senator Chamberlain. The senator is right The offMai lu-t of hackers of the Golden Special, as announced by the committee. Itself from 511 Fifth Avenue, New York, carries such names as Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim, wife of the multimillionaire cop per magnate; Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, who has a Dlax title, to millions of acres of MoxUao land; Mrs. K. T. Stoics bury, wife of the Philadelphia member of jr. P. Morgan & Co.; Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt; Mrs. Maude Weunore of Newport. It I.; Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney of New York and others of the Gotham "400" to which circle none may be admitted save those of great wealth and soft hands unsullied by toil. These women are financing a campaign that has before It a vision of the conquest of Mexico. The utterance of Mr. Hughes himself, the speeches of Roosevelt and the editorials of the tory press show clearly that If Hughe is elected there will be a big change In our Mexican policy. We will cease to deal with Mexico on basis of fairness and respect for the rights of our neighbor people. We will go down with the bayonet and sabre; It will take 500,000 American soldiers, accord ing to Oie eMimaxe of Col. Roosevelt's friend, Major General Leonard W ood, and the subjection of Mexico will be a task of several yean. That snch a war will come If Hughe 1 elected is no Idle campaign supposition. It Is a practical certainty; If we cease to deal with Mexico on the present basis there la no recourse save to war. Therefore a vote for Hughes Is a vote for not for a iv of defense but a war of aggression; not a war for freedom as we waged for Cuba but a war to enslave a people for the benefit of Wall street and London capitalists. If that war comes we all know who will have to do the fighting. The New York "400" will not furnish the men for the firing line. New York's society women of the type financing the Hughe special have more poodle dogs than children. The soldiers will come from the ordinary homes and firesides of the republic. The sacrifice and the sorrow will be for the common people; it will not fall upon those who desire the struggle and have plotted for many months to bring it about. Do the peonta of Oregon Intend to rail Into the Wall street trap. Do joit, Mr. Voter, w4sh to carry a gun Into Mexico? If not have you a right to vote for Hughes? Should any man vote for .war who does not mean to enlist? Do the mothers and wives of Oregon want to send their sons and husbands to Mexico? If not, have they a right to vote for the probability of war? The war issue is tho most dramatic affair in this political campaign. It is a real Issue, not a theoretical one. It la an Issue that will come home to you if a war partyja placed In the saddle. Keep this subject uppermost in mind when you vote Nov. 7, GERMANS WIN GROUND SOUTH OF THE SOMME .

This was the result of the count of the ballots deposited Saturday In the straw vote held at the Patton barber shop. There were two votes for Ben sen and 26 were thrown out as not properly marked. The count began at 9:30 Saturday evening and started out with Wilson leading by a good margin. He kept the lead for 15 minutes when a rich pocket of Hughes votes was struck. 1 For nearly 15 minutes of the count Hughes rot practically every vote. Out of ;oo or more counted In that time there were only three for Wilson. It was as if a long procession of Hughes voters had filed by the bo and dropped in their ballot or as if some hand had dropped in a great sheaf of Hughes votes at once. After this "pay streak" had rnn out, the voting swung back as It started with uuson running the stronger. The otes were counted by Ray Paine, a Hughes man. and Carl Hopf. a Wil son supporter, while Blaine Burton kept the tally. The voting continued all day long and up until late In the afternoon It was admittedly going strongly for Wilson. Kven republican leaders ad mitted their man would be defeated and bewailed the fact that the vote was being taken on Wilson Day, de daring that It was but natural that thero would be more Wilson farmers In town than those for Hughes How ever, their fear were dispelled by the unexpected avalanche of Hughes votes that found themselvea deposited some time during the evening, NORMAL BOOSTERS TO GO OUT OVER COUNTRY Further plans for the observance of "Normal School Day" Thursday were made this morning by the execu tive committee In charge of the cam paign.
