St. Paul., Minn., Sept. 6. A crowd at least one-third larger than that which greeted President Taft, heard Colonel Roosevelt's speech to day. The audience cheered heartily when the former president was pre sented. The congress decided to appoint ;i resolutions committee, on which each state was given a member. Edward Hlnes, of Chicago, was made chairman of the the creden tials committee. The congress adopted a constitution which de HE QUOTES SCRIPTURE APPLICABLE TO ASSEMBLY M.

(Portland Journal. Portland, Sept. 1. To the Editor of the Journal: Ex-Judge George is the new chairman of the Republi can state committee. As such, I be lieve he has been shrewdly made use of by the special interests and certnin political manipulators, to distort the plain meaning, of Ore gon's direct primary law, after six years' generally satisfactory opera tion. Under the former convention sys tem, when nominations, equivalent to election, were fixed up In a bac!c room by the bosses, Judge George secured office with remarkable ease: but when ho tried for the nomina tion under the direct primary meth od, he was, for the first time in his life, defeated. That he should be sorely dissatisfied with the working of that law is excusable, for Judge George is human, and probably past the age of learning to bo progress ive. Speaker Joseph Cannon Is of AA'Ith the crack of the, pistol in tho hand of the starter, six powerful au tomobiles, stripped down for racing and belching great streams of Are from their, cylinders will be started upon their long perilous fifty-mils drive, as the closing race of the ex cellent program arranged for tho big raco meet to bo held upon the one ttfllo track at the Oregon State Fair grounds one week from Sunday af ternoon. Cutouts wide open . making a noise similar to the continuous roar of tho gattllng gun, with men at the wheel of each powerful machine with nerves llko steel, who laugh at the possibilities of accident and In stant death, the people of Salem nnd vicinity will see a race such as will remain imprinted upon tbelr mind .for months and months. Fif ty miles one continuous drive with each trusty driver endeavoring to force his car to the lead for the en tire distance will give such an ox hlbftlqn race as has never been seen in this part of the country. Death Is of but secondary consideration tn clares that the object of the organi sation Is to provide a forum for dis cussion of the proper care for nat ural resources and to furnish defi nite information about resources and aftord an agency to enable the peo ple to frame their policies regard ing principles of conservation. Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, was cheered for three minutes when ho appeared on the platform today. He mentioned the name of Colonel Roosevelt and another demonstra tion broke loose. James J. Hill was that same type. AVlth such it is "Stand pat, stand still, even though the heavens fall." Since that defeat, encouraged by tho old time gang, and particularly by special interests skulking in the shadow of his ample coat talis, he and they now attempt by a juggle to nullify tho law's plain intent. George Quotes Scripture. On April 30, Judge George, a3 state chairman, published an ad dress to tho Republicans of Oregon, arguing for the assembly scheme. which Is admittedly intended as a short cut to the nominations for tho favored few, especially those who will stand with the gang. Judge George -even quotes Scrip turo. Ho says: "In Oregon, party chaos has prevailed. It Is needless to recite causes. It is the old story, 'Abraham begat Isaac. Isaac begat Jacob,' and so on."

DEMOCRATIC MACHINE IS" ALSO "BUSTED"' Stockton, Calif., Sept. C. Tha rout of Gayin McNab's wing of Cal ifornia Democracy , is bojieyed to have occurred today when delegate from tho southern end of the state in caucus rejected the claims of Sid ney M. A'anAVyck, Jr., for the chair manship of the state convention, which Is meeting here, and passeJ resolutions favoring J. O. Davis. loudly cheered when he entered the hall. Five thousand persons cheered Roosvelt whn he left the Davidson hotel. Thousands of school children were among tho throngs that lined the streets through which he pdssed on his way to St. Paul from Minne apolis. Eight thousand persons greeted the ' colonel at the capitol building, whero an artillery salute Was fired. At tho St. Paul hotel, where lie went for a brief conference with James R. Garfield Just before going to the conservation hall, the lobby wasacked and around the building thousands stood waiting, in the streets. AVhen the colonel arrived at the convention hall he was forced tn fight his way to the platform through the crowds that had made their way into tho building. Roosevelt's reception at tho hands of tho delegates and spectators to day contrasted sharply with that ac corded President Taft yesterday. Taft, entering the hall, was cheered for 13 seconds. Roosevelt was cheered for two minutes. Taft, mentioning Rosevelt, was cheered for 40 seconds; Roosevelt, mention ing Taft, drew 14 seconds' applause. A demonstration followed the col onel's attack on the state control of forests. Roosevelt was in a fighting mood and swung his fist emphatically as ho reached this phase of his address. pointing his finger at the AVestern governors. Long cheers followed his refer ence to water power sites when he said: v "It is really the question of spec ial predatory interests against the popular interests it is not a ques tion of state or nation." Then, turning toward Hill and the AVestern governors, ho shouted: "It seems significant that the nien behind the states' rights movement are really big business men from-the states not affected."

Montpeller, Vt., Sept. G. Tho first "general election" of 1910 oponed in Vermont today when tho voters went to the polls to elect an entire stato ticket and two con gressmen.

Congressmen .Foster and Plumley are standing for re-election. There has never been a Democra tic govornor V Vermont since the Civil war. The normal Republican plurality Is 20,000 and. when It falls below that, it la supposed to Indi cate that candidates in the country in general are unfavorable to the Republican party. Democratic loaders today aro pre- diotjng that the Republican plurality will be cut far below the normal fig ure. "I may win," said, AVatson, tha Democratic candidate, today.

AN INTERESTING TRAMP AVHO CLEANS HIS lEETH, BLACKS HIS SHOES AND I'AYH HIB AVAY HAS RIDDEN HALF A MIL LION MILES AT COST OF $7,01 "A No. 1," the champion tramp of the world, was in Salem this morning, giving tho brako beam or side-door Pullman, or whatever his especial coign of vantago was, a few hours rest, while he fed himself here pre paratory to going down to Portland. 'A No. 1," If ho has anothor name, does not glvo it away, but uses his sign manual, both In signing his writ ings, and he writes much, end In leav ing the evidence of his having "been there" on box oar, station house and other bulletin bean.' of the tramp frutenflty. He dlffors from the gener al run of tramps In many ways. He pays for "everything ho gets, and ho koops neat nnd clean and unsmellable. He showed Tho Journal man his out fit. His trunk is a piece of blue don Im, and in it he carried a tooth brush, two of thorn, ono being used to black his shoes, and ho vouchsafed tho in formation that "ho never got them mixed," and a change of undercloth ing. "A No, 1" started on tho road when but 11 years old, in 1883, and in that time ho has traveled 470,223 miles on the railroads and boats of tho United States, and has paid in fares for this transportation $7.61. Ho does much Newspaper work, and nas written n book, the object of which Is to warn boys against tramping, picturing its hard life, and tho general worthless ness of the hobo. Ho showed letters from "Jack London," who tramped with him, a cortlflca1 of membership in a Pennsylvania city chamber of commerce, and letters of thanks from railroad companies for wrecks he has prevented, etc. "A No. 1 'says he Is self-educated, and writes a hand like a nowspapcr man. He talks like a phonograph, and just like he was in n hurry to Jump a train. He claims acquaint anceship with Councilman Stolz, and says ho knew Postmaster Hirsch. Ma. y Eastern Sunday papers have full-pago Illustrated stories from his facile pen, and, taken all in all, ho is a unique and interesting character. Ho will probably have a story In tho Sunday Oregonlan, unless tho "live wires" get him and exhibit him In tho live stock show. WANTED CARNEGIE MEDAL BUT GOT .TUGGED INSTEAD Enid, Okla., Sept. l.
