Sr. John Welch presided at the meeting, and ' many prominent Democrats occupied v places on the stage, the central figure of whom was Oregon's favored, son. George ' B.

' When Mr. Chamberlain was introduced ) ' Chairman Welch as the next Gov- 1 ernor of Oregon he was greeted with tu multuoua cheering and,, applause that con tinued for several minutes, and when It had subsided sufficiently for. him to re mark that 'This frosty reception almost overcomes rte,M the applause was vig orously renewed? In bis, opening remarks Mr. Chamberlain referred briefly to hi trip throughout the i state, the great crowds -of people gathering to hear " him, and the" enthusiasm' showed- 'everywhere " to his behalf.

Che. claim that 1 do not talk' on partisan lines. Why should IT The people have honored me more than once and such honors came to me through the help of my Republican friends, 1 could'nt .abuse them If I de Sired to! The' fact la, there Is no partisan 'politics to discuss this year. Compare the , two platforms and you will find them very similar. My opponents have adopt ed the Democratic platform, put Dem ocrat on It as their candidate for Gov ernor, who now poses before' the people "in his trip over the stats as a man of ' action and saying. 'Look at me. I AM IT.' . ; ';;'vfi' ' . '" : V ''At a meeting in Gomes Hall last night 1 referred to the extravagance displayed In the fiscal, affairs of our state. The Ore-, gonlan had a reporter present at that ' meeting, but its report ot what I said was unfair. Why any paper should be guilty of such wilful misrepresentation Is - beyond my comprehension. It ought to be at least fair In Its reports. , When I refer to the extravagances that have , grown up In- the administration of our - state affaire, I want you te dismiss from , your minds that J. am criticising the pres ' ent or any other administration." Mr. Chamberlain then explained at " some length, as. reported in. The Evening Jour nal yesterday, the nature of the extra v- agances that had become a part of our state administration - and then' sid: , THE! QUESTION OP THE; LAW. V ''"This Is not "a flueetlon of reaeonable- ness or unreasonableness, but of what the constitution of our state means what It says 'When it puts a limitation on the emoluments that the state officials shall receive. I promise ' you that. If X am . elected, I will put h& responsibility upon the courts to declare whether or not the constitution means what it says. The Oregonian says there Is nothing In this flat salary business. that nothing will - ever come of It. .

' BAN FRANCISCO, May 80.-Slnee .( Wednesday of last week, Giant Powder : Consolidated stock has slumped from 75 and 76 down to 70 and 7L The .big drop , in a. local security has caused a great deal ot comment and attracted attention i from a class of moneyed men who like to risk their coin on the ups and downs of such securities, live cause of the de cline of the Giant Powder stock was a resolution adopted last week by the di rectors of the company reducing the j monthly dividend from 76 to 60 cents. 'Some of the holders of the stock took fright at the lowering of the dividend and dumped their holdings oh tins mar ket A marked decline in the price of th stock resulted. There was little buying or selling yes terday. It Is not expected there will be further reduction in the stock's market quotation today. Manager Julian Sonntag of the com pany says tht the reduction of the monthly dividend means Increase in the surplus tor. the' purpose of Improvements. . GOVERNMENT BUILDING. George O. Von Nerta, the supervising architect ot the United States govern ment. 1 in the city; Inspecting the new government hulldlng. Mr. Von Uerta said to a Journal man: "This building will be finished in about five weeks. There are a few -.small defects in plumbing, ' plastering and woodwork, fiat they will be corrected. Otherwise the building is ail right. Of engineers' quarters 1 know il nit GOVERNOR East Night. Side carry cutny jpledge that I have made to the people. ' "- When Oregon wis admitted as one of the states of the Union It was present ed with a . large land grand, which If properly husbanded would have been suffi cient to havo educated every child In the state without the necessity of levying an additional district tax for support of your schools. Most of this land has been frittered away, Bold at a minimum price of tK to ll.BlS per acre, when it should have been disposed ot on the plan of sell? ing It to the man who would pay the highest price for it. INSURES AN HONEST ELECTION. "The Oregonian says 1 ought to resign my present position and that I am now making a campaign at the expense of the state. I don't propose to resign. 'I In tend to remain In business at the old stand for awhile. Before the primaries that paper held me up as a sort of bogle man, and when the third election was over, It declared it was the honestest In the history of Portland. I have no money to use in this election, but if I had millions, not one dollar would be used to debauch the election next week by following tbe-methods of Mark Han na. I don't say any one will use money, but if any attempt Is made to use money for my election or the election of any one. else, I will prosecute them. POOR MAN GENIAL FELLOW. "The argument is raised that I m a poor man and my opponent is a rich man, thrifore should be elected. Has It come to thatT Must ai man In ordefno be elect ed to office be a man or wealth 1 I think not, and if all the poor men en Oregon vote for me I will have an overwhelm ing majority. Again, fault Is found .be cause I am a genial, companionable man. I would rather that one should stand over my grave and say that , George Chamberlain was a genial man, a -man who would not refuse in private to listen to the appeal of the widow or. orphan, and one who, would turn an attentive ear to the prayer of the condemned ft unfor tunate, rather than to have one Jay of me after I had passed away thatT was a man of 'wealth, that I had endowed a university, but refused to listen to the appeals of the bereaved and unfortunate. I am not ashamed of the charge of being a genial, companionable man. I am glad of it Early in life I learned to treat all men alike. The millionaire can come to 'my office and be treated with the same courtesy as the humblest working man no more, no less. It is not what the man has on the outside, but what Is in the inside. 1 believe in geniality, in compan ionship." . DISCUSSED OTHER MATTERS. Mr." Chamberlain referred to the pro posed amendment to the constitution giv ing the Initiative and referendum to the people. He said such measure had orig inated in the-minds of the humble-citizens and urged every one to vote for its adoption. He claimed such provision gave the people a voice In legislation of the state and Jhe power to reject laws passed that were inlmlcable to the best Interests of the people. . W. A. Wann, candidate for superinten dent of ' public instruction, and Henry Blackman, candidate for State Treasurer, made short addresses, Ttnd during the evening Frank Jiennesy and Mrs. John P. Watts entertained the audience with several sons that were enthusiastically received. . -" On Saturday night Mr. Chamberlain closes the campaign with an address to the people at the Tabernacle, corner of Morrison and 12th streets. nothing! it. js out of my Jurisdic tion. It will take a long time to make the necessary changes there. I have only to make a report on the defects and an inspector will come here shortly to ac cept the building after it is all com pleted. ,The plans for correcting the de fects is already prepared, so I think the building will be completed In a short time." Asked when the rest of the offices will be occupied, Mr. Von Nerta answered that they will all be occupied in about two weeks all except the engineer's of fice. Mr. Von Nerta will leave for Wash ington tomorrow night BARELY ESCAPED COLLISION Fred Morris, train dispatcher, again tried to have two cars pass on the same track yesterday afternoon. But for the extra effort put forth by the motormen. another head-on collision would have been added to the credit of the Portland City & Oregon Railway. It occurred at the same place as the accident ot Sunday, when poor Motorman Keck had a leg Cjit off and the other Injured. It is abso lutely dangerous to ride upon the line be tween here and Oregon City, and many people are taking the boats instead. DEATHS.

Wood, who returned to Port' land today, writes to the Oregolnian to refute false statements made in that pa per in a telegram purporting to give his views on the present election. Mr. Wood writes: Editor Oregonian Tour Ashland inter view with me, published the 28th, Is sub stantially false. I have not hit my party. I believe in it wholly. I am in entire sympathy with all Democrats and value their nomination of me unsolicited as much as I would election. There is no warrant for your headlines In your own publication. Furnish was never mentioned, and I do not know today what the defamatory campaign against him is. Scuttle or antl-imperlallsm .was never mentioned. My going on the stump, or what I would do was never mentioned. I said Republicans were claiming Williams, Democrats Inma,n, and I had returned too recently to have any opinion myself. .. I did say I thought election times should be used to actively propagate the party doc trines. The purpose of your headlines and falsification of me is evidently a reckless and malicious effort to serve Republican campaign ends, and I shall hold all concerned responsible, and de mand that this explanation be as fully and conspicuously published as the orig inal statement. C. E. S. WOOD. The telegram to whlon ne referred as printed in the Oregonian was: ASHLAND, Or., May 27. C. E. 8. Wood, whom the Democrats of Oregon ' have named on their state ticket as a candi date for United States ttenator. was here this morning en route to Bait" Francisco, where he goes on legal business. " He says he only returned a few days since from a several months' visit East, and has not been back long enough to have a clear opinion of the political situation, but that tne preponderance of expressed poinlon of others Inclines him to believe that George H. Williams will be elected Mayor of Portland. He expressed no sympathy with the personal and defam atory campaign the Democrats are wag ing against Mr. Furnish. He believes a party should, when it has enunciated Its principles, go before the people and plead with them, end not run away from them. Mr. Wood win not be heard on the stump for the party whose candidate he Is for United States Senator, tor he is a warm advocate of the "scuttle" pol icy in the Philippines, and would take a firm stand on that question should he address the people. mmm i . McMinnville Citizens Enthusiastic for It. The state is taking the Lewis and Clark Fair In the proper light. Yesterday J. M. Long, Ot this city, spoke to the citi zens of McMinnville about the work that Is being done In Portland and throughout the. state. Portland has raised nearly 400.000 out of $600,000," said Mr. Long, "and It is nothing but right that the rest of the state should raise the balance of $100,000. An effort will be made to double the population ot Oregon before 1905, and now la the time for ail sec tions of the state to make a strong pull all together." Many of McMinnville's leading cltxiens including .Mayor Wortman, J. J. Spencer, H. C. Burns, E. C. Apperson, Walter Link and Morgan Baker, assisted Mr. Long in making a thorough canvas of McMinnville's business people In the in terests of the Fair. The tent in which the' meeting was held was packed by an enthusiastic crowd. THE TEST AT HAND. Will Faithful or Not ? Service Count We shall soon see if it is worth while to befalthful in office.
