McMahan Frank Davey expressed tho hopo to contlnuo ns wo begin, n gentleman ly business discussion, on tho Repub lican county nnd state and national plntfornis, which they endorsed. Tho crowd at Turner would havo enjoyed much more hearing him talk than reading tho party platform. They stood by RooHovolt In his fight on tho trusts nnd to oxcludo tho Chinese. Ho declared hlmsolf for flat salaries and a closer business administration of our state affairs, and for Direct Nomination of candidate foe ofllco. (This latter was applauded.) Favored creation of a mining bu reau as provided In tho Republican plntfdrm. They wero also In entire harmony with tho Republican county platform that praisos tho Republican county and stnto administration, (tho latter bolng omitted from the stnto platform.) Ho road tho Republican county platform of 1901, which prom ised strict economy In stnte affairs, and to put tho county on a cash basis and reduce tho county taxes. This pledgo had been kopt nnd tho county hail a cash Hurplus. Tho high taxos wero duo to tho high lovy causod by Increased valuations. Current ex pensos had boon roducod about one half In this county In five years. Ho advocatod chango of presont tax law, so as to bo moro favorablo to tho formers and poorer taxpayora who woro now unjustly discriminated against. Tho presont tax law offors a promlum early In tho spring, nnd tries to catch him whon his monoy Is gone, and ho must bocomo delinquent or loso his rebate It was favorable now only to tho rich man. The stato now mado tho farmor who could not pay his tax In tho spring, but was as sessed a penalty of 12 pr cent, while tho stato asked of tho county only 8 per conL This was a discrimi nation against thoso unable to pay oarly. Ho then montlonod nil tho candidates In Uie familiar style In which ho conducts a cnke-nuctlon nt a church fair. This county was Re publican by 600 majority, and yet tho opposition talked of carrying this county by 1000 majority for Chamber lain. Will you Republicans do that? (Cries of no.) i Ho closed with an eloquent oulogy of Wm. J. Furnish, who would glvo the state the beet business adminis tration it has ever had. (Applause.) E. M. Croisan was warmly re- telved. He said ha was In favor of flat salaries. Direct 1-egMatlon. Dl rect Nomlnatle. and a new tax law, Ha reviewed the McMahan broad' side, showing that the law of 1&86 made" no provision for ward to work vagrants on the ceunty roaiU. but by an arrangement with the county court he was allowed foes for commitment, out of which he paM the swards. He answered in detail one Item after an other, explaining each Itemized ac count Jf he nod wasted to swindle the county he would not have Item ized his bills in detail. Mr. Croleaa eewefetel" satisfied his hearers as to every detail f tte ad ministration and declared be. was proud ef bts record. He charged that Mr. McMaltan was not on the taxroll and wanted Mm to toil the audience where he got the money to nake an expensive trip to Bnrepe a few years K " " ' "' . - , ' O-rf MARTINIQUE... Valleys heaved up Into hills. Sea thrown back from shores. All Northern Martinique denuded. St. PIcrro totaljy destroyed. Sea converted to boiling, heat. Vessols hurled toward tho sky. Dolling lako lost. Steam shot eight miles high. ago, that must havo cost him several thousand dollars? Squlro Farrar was noxt, and said ho favored a direct primary law, and fixed "salaries. Ho didn't llko tho word lint. It was too near fat. Tho constitutional salaries wero so small as to bo almost ridiculous. Ho showed that ho was not a hair-splitting constitutional lawyer. Tho tax law that gavo a 3 per cent rebato to tho rich man who had ready monoy was an outrngo on tho poor man who had to mnko It up with a '10 por cent penalty. The Opposition Opens. J. I). Dlmlck opened with a roply on behalf of Mr. McMahau, who waB not present Ho helped to repeal tho vagrant law that was costing Marlon county $400 a month. Ho did not caro how McMahan got his monoy to go to Europe. Ho eald the primaries In Marlon county woro rotten. Thoy had crawled Into control of their county convention by tho popularity of Governor Oeor, wont to Portland, flred a fow blank cartridges, nnd smelled tho bungholo of a turncoat DomocmfH bnrrol and sun'ondoreil (Great laughtor.) Ho ridiculed Frank Davoy's appeal for patriotism whon thoy had loft evory man who had served his country off tho tlckot. W. T. Slntor said ho had not pulled off his cout to mnko It warm for any body. Thoso local candidates should take up tho moro Immcdlato needs of tho people Ho took up the Republi can promlsos of roform two yours ago, and showed that whllo only Re publicans woro sont to tho loglsln turo, and Inatoud of promised reduc tions tho taxos woro hlghor than ever. He showod that whllo Salem and Ma rlon county had cut tholr oxponsos down, tho loglslaturo had boon waste ful In tho oxtromo. Instead of prom ised reductions thoy had boon extrav- agant ns never boforo, and wiped out tho local reductions and swotted tho oxpendlturos Ho that stato taxos woro hlghor than ovor. Ho donouncod the tnx law that al lowed tho man with roady money a 3 por cont rebato and chargod Uioho unablo to pay 12 por cont lntorost on a 10 por cent ponalty, He said he fa vored a Direct Nomination law. Other states had trlod this method of naming candidates and woro oxtend lng It to congressmen and Judicial oftlcos. To makethe primary day the first day of registration would save time and exponso. It would purify tho registration. He Illustrated the oporatlon of the law by the Instance where five men wore seeking tho nomination for Bhorlff. All would be watching each other to prevent Illegal voting. Direct Nomination was the only straight road to reduction of taxes. Ho closed with an appeal to elect at least part of the Democratic ticket to watch the Republicans. No confessions of higher taxes and other wrong-doing would be hurled back at them two yoars hence. 9. Tomllnson. the Mayor of Wood- burn, showed himself a better talker than any ono suspected II 0 howwl that tha uerniHiican ana uawoerauc platforms are almost menucai on inn Philippines, on tariff, and other mat ters. He favored regulation of' frelfihts and fares of transportation by law, opposed the present tax-eot-loction law as oppressive to labor and favoring the money-lender, advocated precinct assessor, flat salaries and good roads. He advocated the- crea tion of the office of County Iload Hn eineer by the kut leglslatttre. Mr. Tomllnson. like all his predecwo.f made a good Impression. 2. A.

(Applause) In coming Immigration wns nBklng what Is your tax rato? What nnswor could Oregon glvo? This closed tho Demo cratic speaking. Ed. T. Judd oxprossod rogrot that ho was not n lawyor, but only a farm er. It was porhaps n groat mlstnko that no lawyor was put on tho Repub lican ticket. Ho snld tho Republicans woro not so prolific In promlsos and could not talk ns fast. It waB not be coming to tho Domoorats to donounco tho last loglslaturo whon thoy worked hnnd-ln-glovo with grafters. Tho Democrats In tho last legislature hrtd refused to llvo up to and stand as a solid organization ngnlnst bad legisla tion. Thoy did not protect tho peoplo and, tho loglslaturo was worso for tholr bolng thoro. Ho thought tho tax law could bo Improved and thoy would mnko tho needed Improve ments. Thoy would got right on this mattor, and it might tako tlmo, but thoy would do It. Ho donlod thnt thoro was no dlfforonco botwoon tho partlos on tho turlff. Thoro was a groat dlfToronco who would rovlso tho tariff. Tho Domoorats had done It In 180fi, and tho laboring pcoplo Knew tho TOBIllt.
