LITTLE SON OF MR. AND MRS.
OTTO JAUNSEN PASSES
Sympathy is being extended Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Jaunsrn for the death
of their little son, Otto Jr., who
passed away on Friday, August 6th,
at Oregon City, after a short illness.
The funeral services were held in
Portland on Monday at 2:30 p. m.
from the Conservatory Chapel of
the East Side. Interment was made
in the Riverview cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Jaunsen are now
making their home in Clackamas,
but formerly resided here and have
many friends who were, indeed,
saddened to learn of their loss.
Washington. Aug. 5.—Leaving the
question of his independent candi
dacy for the senate unsolved, Sena
tor Robert N. Stanfield is on his way
to Portland. Upon leaving Wash
ington he declared he had on an
nouncement to make, and that noth
ing need be expected from him un
til after he had looked over the
field at first hand. He left his
friends here in complete uncertain
ty as to his final action.
Pressure upon the senator to say
that he will not be a candidate re
cently has been renewed, with indi
cations that Frederick Steiwer, or
his managers, in combination with
Steiwer’s leading newspaper sup
porter, are acting in concert to
force a declaration from Stanfield.
It has been urged upon him that
Steiwer personally had nothing to do
with the spurious yellow tickets,
and it ha9 also been urged that the
vo!ume of such tickets was not suf
ficient to affect the result.
Senator Stanfield is understood to
have received these suggestions
without enthusiasm. He feels that
the number of false ballots has little
to do with it, since the evil design
has been revealed and proof se
cured that it was deliberately con
ceived and in part, at least, carried
out. If Steiwer had promptly repu
diated and denounced the methods
used in his behalf and assisted in
clearing up the clouds that hang ov
er the conduct of his supporters on
primary day, there might have been
another story.
JACKSON CLUB BANQUET
Governor Pierce and Bert E. Ha

be discussed.
Both gentlemen are entertaining
speakers. Safe government, law en
forcement and the merchant marine
will be discussed fully. These sub
jects are of vital importance to the
date of Oregon at this time, whether
you are a Republican or a Demo
