That tanking up on booze

________________
A number of newspapers are
engaged in the innocent pastime
o f collecting straw votes on
Presidential election possibilities
just now, and so far as noted
none of them have failed to bring
out their pet candidate in the
lead.
I t is not the unexpected that
has taken place in the reported
opposition to the Fourth street
franchise that is bring asked for
by the Southern Pacific in P ort
land. It is well understood that
the members o f city councils in
large cities have a habit o f hold
ing their bands behind them un
der certain trying circumstances,
and it is possible this is the situ
ation the S. P. is np against.
The people o f the whole West
Side country from Corvallis
north, are anxious to see the
Southern Pacific get a franchise
for an electric line on Jefferson
street and down Fourth in Port
land, in order that they may be
landed in the heart of the city or
a t the Union station. This large
territory, which comprises the
best farming and fruit growing
section o f the state, furnishes a
lo t o f trade for Portland and
w ill furnish many times more in
the near future, and the reason
able demands o f the people are
entitled to consideration at the
hands of the city authorities.
The steam car service on Fourth
street has been a bone of conten
tion for years, and this service the
Southern Pacific is willing to
discontinue if a franchise for elec
tric line service is granted. T o
outside people the proposition
seems reasonable, and the feeling
tow ard Portland is not going to
be very warm hearted if conces
sions are not made that will en

old Jefferson street station, when
they g o to the city on business.
the T a ft committee reveals the
fact that they are for T a ft by a
large majority.
The view of the outlook given
by one who has traveled much,
as expressed by the follow in g
from Tuesday’s Oregonian is
significant:
“ Taft must be re-elected Pres
ident,” declared Dr. Roland
Dwight Grant, ex-pastor o f the
First Baptist Church, w ho is in
Portland for a few days after
completing a year’s lecture tour,
in which he covered more than
50,000 miles in the United States
and Canada, enabling him to
get into direct touch w ith all
classes o f people.
Mr. Grant
now passes his Summer» at his
country home in New Hampshire
and his Winters in Boston, when
not on the road.
“ I f the Republicans nominate
anybody else they w ill stultify
themselves and not T a ft,” lie
continued, “ and the Democrats
will be able to elect anybody
they choose.
I find this senti
ment by personal conversation
in every part o f the country.
“ Roosevelt stands not one
chance o f getting the nomina
tion. T o elect him would be a
step toward barbarism. I look
upon him as a “ faker.” This so-
called new-enthusiasm for him is
all pumped up and wonld not
stand the test a minute.
“ In viewing the Democratic
situation I find that the one man
who has known enough to keep
still until he was asked is Champ
Clark. He is the only possible
candidate in sight. He could
whip Roosevelt to a frazzle, to
use the Colonel’s own term.
Every Democratic newspaper is
hoping to see Roosevelt nomin
ated for that reason.”
