Colonel Butcher spoke at Turn Halts
Saturday night atid there' was a good

things that wer unplatable to hi Re
publican friends, and the way In which
he championed hi own cause, and th
argument he made for vote In his favor
did not tall entirely on ' barren plaoea,
One point that he mad was that the
administration at Washington feel se

upon to set the political ball rolling in

Way of government contracts, but the

was always in ths doubtful column re
ceived all the consideration that the War

Colonel Butcher is making an aggres

who think he is going to win out, but if
he doe not he will smash former Repub

a manner that will give party manager

Matthews Abandon Hop.
: In frantic desperation to save at least
a portion ef the Republican machine tick
et, Jack Matthews has thrown Furnish
and th Republican stat ticket over
board In an effort to lighten th load on
his sinking craft. His single effort Is, if
possible, to save the machine Legislative
ticket and such candidates for seats In
th City Council as hs can. Is this effort
he Is bending every energy), and, with the
subtle cunning that has , marked his po
litical career for years past, Matthew is
seeking only what will bring eOn to hU
own mill and perpetuate him as a power
til Multnomah County ring politics.
It is an open secret that Jack Matthews
does not Want th proposed new charter
as It now stands. His hop to amend It
that he can secure to himself the
power of political dictation In th city of
Portland liee In the election of Willie
Banks and other pliant tools whom he
has placed on th Republican Legislative
ticket to do his bidding. Matthews wants
a majority ef his candidate elected to
the City Council, as they will be under
his absolute control and compelled to car
ry out th ente-electlott promises de
manded of them before they were allowed
a place on the machine ticket.'
So far as th Republican county ticket
is concerned and a la rg majority of Its
candidates for city offices, Matthew has
riven up sll hope. Storev, his candidate
for Sheriff, will not even command the
full vote of the ring combination, anil
will be third In the race. Major Ken
nedy's election as County Clerk is as
sured. There is no doubt of Henry Hew
ett's election as Commissioner and John
Drlscoll as Sheriff. Judge Williams Is
losing In strength every day, and so It Is
all down the line with the entire machine
ticket ;
The voters of Portland have become
aroused as never before In the political
history of the city. Th putting of Jack
Matthew at the head of tbe Republican
part Isrthe cap-sheaf of a :monuent of
insolence on th part of a few men whose
4hlbbelta is rule or ruin. Th daterml
nation to stamp out effectually all sem
blance of ring rule, to stamp out with
both feet th Impertinent ' effort ef the
Oregonlaa to run thing it own way. Is
manifested on, all sides. The CHitons
ticket commend Itself to every on who
ha deaire to give th poopl ah hon
est, practical, business-Hke administra
tion, The appeal made for it support
has met with a spontaneous response
and show how determined, how earnest,
th ma of th people are to turn
down ring rul. and defeat the machln
ticket " - - v - --
