The people are not interested in where you organize, or l ow yon organize, hut lit what your org iniialinii is noiiitf to dn af ter it is orir.inizrd. It hat hern t lie custom of the mi nority part in this IcKitlature, Mr. I'reiidettt, to no t!:rouih the hol low formality of nomiuatinK a prrsi dent frcm ill party. Possibly the distiiiKuishcd gentleuient who com prised the minority party in this sen ate in the dayt K""c past thmiiihl that thit was necettary in order to keep toirether, and to keep intact their party organization. .Spcakiiitf for the DemiH-ratic minority in thit senate the senator from llaker and myself we. feel that we are too sure of our Ocmocr.'iry to make it necessary for us to nominate one of us for the pi'cs-ideiH-y of thin senate. We do not believe, Mr. i'roident. in briiiiiiiitf politics into the senate. I hope 1 will not be reminded while in this senate that I am a Democrat. The people did not scud us here to play politics, but to work for their tern il Kod, and few as we arc. the Demo cratic minority, propose to do that. I am not personally afraid that the Kieat Republican party will swallow me if I do not call the attention of the members to the fact that 1 am a Dcmivrat. In fact. .Mr. 1'rcsiilcnt. due respect for your digestive or gans would make you hesitate about swallowing me. 1 feel satisfied that the faction!) in your own party will keep your digestive organs in action, should mix your diet by swallowing Democrat while, perchance, tome of our Democratic friends through out the ttale of Oregon should feel inclined to criticize the senator from lt.ik.r and myself for not playing partisan politics, I want to say that we propose to practice what the Pat ron Saints of Democracy preached for years and yean. 1 do not believe, Mr. President, that you should play partisan politics, especially if you are in the minority. Vow. Mr. President, I think I have ClearanceSale Wall Paper 1-4 to 1-2 OFF During the month of January Woodworth Drug Company Albany Oregon given sufficient reasons wl.y the ten. ator from Baker and myself should stand in with the organization in tile election of Mr. Thoi tpson, but if I have not given you sufficient reason I want to say to you in all sincerity that 1 have the greatest possible re spect for the Kepuhi.can party. I l.avc the greatest gratitude for it. Now do not think for a minute that 1 am talking about your tariff policy, nor your money policies, nor your merchant marine policies. I think your policies are rotten. (Laughter) But there is a habit that you have which I will term a fixed policy. Some of you say it is a had habit. Democrats say it is a good habit, but I am going to dignify it with the name of a fixed policy, because I be lieve that this fixed policy it the one good policy that you l.avc, and I be lieve it it actuated by a high and broad patriotism. That policy to which 1 refer it the way in which you vote. You, Mr. President, being fa miliar with sacred history, with the Bible, remember the story where Mo ses was leading the Children oi Israel to the Promised Land, and he ran face to face with an tniMirmouiitable and impassable harrier in the way of the turbid and dangerous waters oi the Ked Sea. You remember by an act of God these waters parted and the great law-giver and statesman The Law Governing Saving De posit in This Bank. Any bank combining any of the business of a commercial bank, trust company and saving! bank shall keep separate books or ac counts for each department, and shall keep all moneys received at such deposits, and the funds and securities in. which the same are invested, at all times segregated from and unminuled with the other moneys and funds of the bank, and all bonds, warrants, notes, mort gages, deeds and other securities of every nature of such savings de partment shall be marked, stamped or labeled '"savings department," or some similar words. All funds, investments and other assets of the savings department shaU be held solely for the repayment of the depositors in said department and shall not be liable for, pledged at security for, or uted to pay any other obligation or liability of the hank until after the payment in full of all depotitori of said sav ings department. .The savin' deposits of any bank maintaining a savings depart ment may be invested only in bonds, warrants and mortgages. J. W. CUSICK & CO.. Bankers, Albany, Oregon led his host through to the land of promise. The Republican party, my friends, by their great patriotism, cleverly and Iiiet!y end rvculy pailcd in the last election and permitted a law-giver and statesman to bring the people of American between the con lending factious into the land of promise. Mr. President, the Repub licans of the state of Oregon arc par ticularly patriotic. They helped to put Wilson in the presidency, and thus won my gratitude, and to de voted are liicy to the policies of Pres ident Wilson, and so anxious are they that those policies be carried out to the cud, they l.avc for years main tained in the senate of the United Slates, two rock-ribbed Democrats to carry 'that policy through, Lnd in or der that these policies may be con tinued they have repe .ted the opera tion. Now isn't that a reason why I should be grateful? Hut coming down locally, Mr. President, the people of Oregon Iilvc maintained in the gov ernor's chair for long, long years pat riotic Democratic, governors, tl.ut as suring to the state of Oregon good government. Isn't th.:t tome reason why the Democratic riinorily of the senate should show their gratitude by voting for the Republican nomi nee ? '. 1 second everything that was said about Lair Thompson. I think 1 know him as no one of thcte people know him. They have known him in a po litical way. I knew him as a bare footed hoy selling papers ou the streets of Albany, and lie sold papers too sold many of them; I knew him when he was struggling for his edu cation; I knew his old father, and at the kmc of that old father he re ceived lessons in i.n.'rsly, inlr.irriiy. and in patriotism.. The old father could not give him money, rnd it was necessary for Lair to use these quali ties that he had goiter from his fath er by precent, by -exai.iple. and b in heritance, in order to educate him self,' and he has done it. And I tell you, Mr. President, v.hetl.er he be Democrat or Republican, or what not, 4 take off my liat to the young man that putt temptation lsrhind him and in his poverty grows in strength and makes of himself tiic man that l-air Thompson has made. I am told by Mr. Thompson, I am assured by him, Mr. President, that he recognizes the burden under .which the people of the State of Oregon are -laboring, and that he recognizes the fact that the people have sent us here to lessen and lighten those burdens, and he has assured me that he intends to bring to tiic high office that yon temporarily occupy all the powers he has to carry out the promises that he made and 1 made to the people. I believe him because he never told me a story; and believing him, just so long at he followt out the policies he hat enunciated to me, just so long will I give him the encouragement of my support and my vote. Mr. Pres ident, I pause to say in all fairness, if the time comes, and I do not think it will come, when I am convinced that he and the gentlemen that are back of him are forgetting the prom ises they made to the people and put ting them behind, and are attached by new Gods, then will 1 contevd, and fight with all that is in me, to defeat those policies. Mr. President, I take pleasure in see-r.Jiiig the nomination of Mr. Thompson. AU STRIANS HAVE HARD TIME TRYING TO CHECK RUSSIANS By William 0. Shepherd (United Press Correspondent) lluda Pesth. Dec. 2. (Bb mail to New York.) What's the use of wish' iug good luck to a man who's going to die? There's no luck about that. But I did it just the same, in f.'.ose last two days at Przemysl; in those last forty-eight hours before we piled belter skelter out of the city, before the Russian onrush. It was hard busi ness, too. These men were going to stay in the city, to defend it. There were thousands of us who had been ordered out but these men were of the few thousands who had been ordered to remain and to fight to the last drop of their blood. They couldn't go. They must hold Przemysl or die. I had dined thrice daily for several weeks with some of these officers who had received the orders to re main and taying goodbye to them was one of the hardest things I've ev er had to do. I knew their smiles, I knew their voices, I knew their jokes, their favorite wiil-s, their (favorite j cigarette, something about this fellow's home life, lotmetlung about this chap's three children, I had dipped in to their lives jttit enough to know and to form friendships. And then the end of the Russian line began to snap around the circle of Przemysl's forts, like a whip around a sapling, and Przemysl was doomed. And that last evening, when I said goodbye to these men, who must stay in Przemysl through the seige, my smile musr have been glassy. ' I taw one of I hem once more. It was the next morning, at 7 o'clock, in the Przemysl cathedrrl, b;:dy day light. I be evening before the man who is to be the next emperor of Austria, had come into Przemysl in hit automobile, after a hundred mile ride, fie h.td come to go to church with these men; to join them in a farewell nuss; to say good bye to tl.cm auj to tell them that Austry Hungary depended on them to hold the forts of Przemysl or die in their wreckage. And, in this audience of officers, I taw a few of my Austrian officer fiicnds, earnest-faced, devout, kneel ing, bowing, crossii g themselves, reading the prayers, partaking in tiic death-mast with a man for whose kingdom-to-be they sere going to give their lives. I thought of the storm of Russian shell und shrapnel that would beat over Przemysl as soon as our batteries hid been brought ii: fioin the outskirts :.nd this uiet mass seemed to me like the moment of calm before a tornado. When the mast was ended the cr.i-pcror-to-hc climbed into his auto and was whiiled out of the rings of forts a hundred miles away to the safe shelter of the Carpathians at Ncu Sandee. The streets of Przemysl rere filled with matching soldiers. They had leen brought in from the rifle trenches aor.ic i.iiles outside of the city ?nd were to be rushed awry from Przemysl to toinc other part of the line; at Iest. were not to die in Przemysl. Tl en, later in the morn ing, the artillery begnn to come into the city. This was the beginning of the end. It meant thct the outer de fenses of the city had been with drawn; from the farms and the hills and the valleys, where I had teen these batteries holding back the Rus sian tide, they had been rolled to the roads and dragged into the city and now they were being taken to the railroad yards to be loaded onto cars that would carry them out of the reach of the Russians. The safety of Przemysl could not last many hours. It wouldn't take the Russians long to notice that the Russian field batteries were silent and it would'nt take them much longer to send out their Cossack patrol to dis cover why the Austcian guns were keeping the peace. Then, after that. it would be only a matter of a few hours for the Russians to advance. That evening when I dined in the officers' casint there were no officer, there. . 1 hey were out in tne great steel forts, ready to begin their re sistance to the Russian storm. We left that evening in a Red Cross train. The Russian guns were sounding nearer than they had ever sounded before. The sound of a rifil battle came to our ears some miles outside the town: the noise of some Austrian infantry repiment holding back the Russian onrush until the last possible man, gun and horse who wouldn't be needed in the town could get rut of it. Before the sun set the next day the Russian army had surrounded Przemysl and my frierds in the great steel, round-roofed houses v.ere work ing their guns for their very lives. But only a few tens of thousands of Russians hovered around Przemysl. More of them went on into Galicia and. within a few days they were a hundred miles nearer Vienna than they had ever been before. Przemysl is sill an Austrian -island in the Russian flood. It's fortt have not yet been battered slown. Daily it sends its wireless message over the Russian armies, over the Carpathians, saying "We are stilt holding out." Hut il is now an island-) hundred mile from an Austrian shore and sortie day, if the wireless doesn't come we'll know that the eel of the Rus sian thetlt was stronger than the steel of the Przemytl fortt, or the hearts of those brave Austrian officers who stayed in Przemysl to hold it or die.
