monster crowds during his speech
making tour of Pennsylvania, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt left here today,
Intending to speak at every city and
towrj between here and New York
City K New records for political crowds
were established at Lancaster, Harris
burg and Philadelphia. It is estimat
ed that 75,000 persons h( "rd Colonel
Roosevelt's address here. The crowds

sponding numbers and the Roosevelt
campaign managers are predicting
that the former president will carry
the state by an overwhelming majori
ty. Next Friday Colonel Roosevelt plans
to leave New York for a brief tour of
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

people should determine finally the

"Some very eminent lawyers of
New York have undertaken the for
mation of what they style the 'Inde
pendent Judiciary Association,' " he
said. "They propose, to use their
own words, 'to combat the spread of
two ideas,' namely, the recall of
Judges and the referendum to the
people of a certain class of cases of
judicial decisions; and they assert, in
President Taft's words, that 'these I
ideas lay the ax at the root of the
tree of well-ordered freedom.'
Attorneys' Motives Questioned.
"Many of the signers are distin
guished men, standing high in their
community,' bui we can gain a clew
as to Just what kind of well-ordered
freedom they have in mind, the kind
of 'freedom' to the defense of which
they are rushing, when we see among
the signers of this call, the names of
attorneys for a number of corpora

keyed sense of civic duty, or for their
disinterested conduct toward the pub
lic; such as, for instance, the Stand

American Tobacco company, the Met

Philadelphia, April 11. Both

of the anthracite miners and the

The miners have determined
not to arbitrate their demands.
President White of the union
said: "Why can't we and the

Why wait for a commission to

White as spokesman for the

Hay City, Mich., April 11. Fighting,
shouting and cursing, but subdued by
a squad of police, who charged with
drawn clubs, the Roosevelt and Taft
delegates to the Michigan state con
vention forced their way Into the ar
mory here this afternoon, and then
came a wild scramble for seats. Cloth
ing was torn and many a black eye
and bruised face bore witness to the
hotness of the fray.
The riot started when, after a delay
of hours, the doors of the armory were
thrown open and the sergeant-at-arms
sought to admit only those holding ere
dentlals Issued by the state central
committee.
Hftnd to hand conflicts were numer
ous among the Taft and Roosevelt
supporters about even. After the con
vention was called to order -W.' D.
Gordon, a Roosevelt mnn, whs thrown
bodily from the platform, when hs
tried to speak.
lloth sides charged strong-arm tac
tics, and groans and hisses and cat
calls greeted the Taft men's attempts
to perfect organization. Pandemoni
um reigned on the Roosevelt side of
the armory, where a chairman, tellers
and committees were elected, anil all
the Roosevelt contesting delegates
'were seated. Tuft nnd Roosevelt
speakers attempted to talk at the same
time from different parts of the plat
form, while about each spouter his ad
herents clustered, beating back by
main force those who tried to drown
out the orator of the opposing fac
tion. Ray City. Mich., April 11. Rattling
in the streets to gain points of vant
age, Taft and Roosevelt delegates to
the Republican state convention here
this afternoon were locked In a strug
gle for control. Although tbe conven
tion was due to meet at 10 a. m., the
doors were still closed at noon.
Fearing the convention will end In
a riot because of the bitterness exist
ing letwoen the two factions, Gover
nor Osborn ordered a detachment of
state militia in the armory building to
prevent disorder. At noon the dele
gates were lined up outside the ar
mory, with the Roosevelt following In
control of the vantage points. Despite
the efforts of the adherents of Presi
dent Tsft, the Roosevelt delegates re
fused to be dislodged, and It was
doubtful Just when tbe convention
would be called to order.

Chicago, April 11. That The-
odore Roosevelt carried every

Senator William Lorlmer Is con-
ceded today by the supporters of
President Taft. In the face of
this, the Taft men are still try-
Ing to secure the national com-
mlttee man from IllinolB, and
want the state convention to
adopt a platform endorsing
President Taft.
The figures as shown by the
returns of the Illinois primaries
to date are as follows:

(Special Correspondence of The Jour
nal.) Washington, D. C, April 6. Speak
er Clark's candidacy for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination contin
ues to gather strength. His list of
delegates Instructed or favorable lias
grown In the last week from 66 to 78.
Aluska delegates and the Philippines
added 12 delegates to the number al
ready Instructed. The speaker's
friends are now so confident of his
nomination that they believe he may
be chosen on the first ballot.
The next two weeks promise to add
materially to the number of Clark del
egates. Former Senator Fred Dubois,
who Is In charge of the Clark cam
paign, believes that Illinois, the next
stnte to act will give Speaker Clark a
majority of 50,000 In the primaries,
and he would not be surprised If It
reached 100,000.
The most striking feature of the
Clark candidacy Is the Increasing
strength of the speaker among mem
bers of congress. Members of the
house and senate are flocking to his
standard, and It Is significant that a
majority of the Democratic delega
tions In all of the pivotal states look
upon the speaker ns the nun who, of
II candidates, would be the strong
est to lead the party In the election
campaign. The great state of New
York will be for Clark's nomination.
This Is almost a certainty.
The Speaker's supporters in the
1'nlted States senate were strength
ened this week by the swearing In of
the two senators from the new state
of Arizona. Senator Mark Smith has
been a life-long friend of Speaker
('lark. He and Champ were born In
Knturky and went to college togeth
er at the Transylvania University, In
later life they became close friends In
the house of representatives, where
Senator Smith served for many years
as a delegate from Arizona.

President Albert, of the Salem
Board of Trade, kept things moving
last night at one of the largest and
most Intel ;sttng monthly sessions ev
er held In the Capital City, The Made
in Oregon campaign of the Oregon
Manufacturers' Association was given
recognition by appointing a committee
and making preparations for an ex
position of Oregon Industries at Salem

Home New luduitrles.
John H. Scott announced negotia
tions with John M. Sweeney, formerly
of Detroit,, for establishing an, autij
mobile factory at Salem. The estab
Ushment of a cement block plant by
Barnum Bros. & Simmons, a pipe or
gan factory by Emmonn Howard, of
Westfleld, Mass., a furniture factory
by A. J, Darling, of Kstacada, were
' announced and discussed. The pipe
organ Industry and the motor car fac
'tory are only being considered, but
! the other two are established. Jos,
'W. Gleason, of the Salem Glove and
'Mitten factory, reported a 60 per cent
, Increase In their output, and practlc
'ally every Salem business man
pledged himself to give tbe Oregon
made products the preference In or
dering manufactures.
Mystic Values of Dlittunre.
Geo. F. Rodgers, of the Rodgera
Paiier company, made a semi-humor
ous plea for the home Industries by
referring to the mystic qualities at
trlbuted to anything that comes from
a distance, People give a fictitious
I value to the thing that was Imported
and made in the Fast. It was due, In
his opinion, to the superior ndvertls
! Ing methodB of the Kastern manufac
turer, educating the consumer to call
for his products, Roth the retailer
and the consumer must be reached for
the Oregon-made products more than
they have.
I Enormous Lumber Cut.
I Mr. Raker, local manager of the
Curtlss Lumber company, spoke of
the absorption of that business by the
Hammond Lumber comiwny. They
claimed the biggest Inland sawmill
plant In the state, at Mill City, that
had a record cut of 185,000 to 195,000
feet per day. He hoped that a large
delegation would nttend the Made In
Oregon exposition to be held In Al
bany next week. Mr. Hilar, of the
Hickory Rnrk Remedy company, spoke
In favor of an Oregon Products expo
sition at Salem, and pledged his hear
ty support.
W. L. Toore g Rooster.
Walter L. Tooze was present and
made one of his enthusiastic booster
talks that created a great deal of en
thusiasm. He spoke of the Therma
llne Industry that Is iiiunufiu'tuiiiiK 1 1
products on North Front street, nnd
putting on the market an Improve
ment on the well-known antlphlogls
tlne preparations. It was a Made In
Oregon product, and at this time Mr.
Sargent reported on the prospects be
ing much Improved for a larger baby
show at the next Cherry Fair. It
could be made the great event of the
Cherry Fair, nnd he created a great
deal of applause and enthusiasm.
The Cherry Fair.
Several speakers made strong pleas
for the greater Importance of the
Cherry Fair that Is to be held In July,
when the national grand lodge of the
Elks meets at Portland, and an effort
will be made to secure several dally
excursions to this city. The laying of
the cornerstone of the new Klhs'
temple may bring 10,000 of the 60,000
visitors Portland expects on that day.
President Albert spoke of tbe Import
ance of having Salem recognized as
one of the points to which side trips
will be made from the large gather
Ings to be held at Portland.
G. A. R. Encampment.
Col. J. L. Stockton made a heart-to-
heart plea for the annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
to be held In Salem during the month
of June. Captain Carl Abrams was
present and had authority to say the
armory would he completed and could
be dedicated by that time. Mr. Stock
ton also spoke of the horse show la
connection with the Cherry Fair. It
would be made more of a social event
with decorated rlngB, than ever before
and the Salem Humane Society will
try to put on a work horse parade, as
is done In the larger cities. Mr. Voget
made a strong plea for the Oregon In
dustries. Hit family had Invested all
their money In Industries employing
labor, and home pay rolls were the
big thing,
Educators Talk.
Dr. Todd, of the Willamette endow
ment committee, made a fine ptea for
Made In Oregon educational institu
tions. The boys and girls and tbe
growing generation were, after all,
our greatest asset. The campaign to
raise the endowment fund to half a
million was of great Industrial Ira-,
portance to Salem and all Oregon. It
meant keeping large sums of money
at home. If those who have made
large sums out of Willamette being;
here, and those who will make large
sums by future Investments In higher
education could have heard Dr. Todd,
the response would be liberal. Mr.
Wlest, principal of the Englewood
schools, spoke for better play grounds
and for the preservation of the natur
al park adjacent to the Rnglewood
school, His remarks were very well
received. Mr. Masher, merchant tail
or, spoke of the growing demand for
the made In Oregon suitings. He said
the Salem, Oregon City and Browns
ville fabrics were eiiuul to any of the
imported In wearing qualities and ap
pearance, and cost about one-half as
much. All the monoy was kept at
home. He would be glad to asslBt la
getting up an exhibit of Mude In Ore
gon products,
Oregon Mude Furnaces.
Mr. Vincent, manager of the Ander
son Steel Furnace company, In this
city, said there was a strong and grow
Ing sentiment In favor of home made
goods. He met with It In his travels
all over the state, and had no trouble
In selling the Sulem furnaces. He
found the Made In Oregon Idea the
strongest talking point In selling
goods. The committee named to get
up the Made In Oregon exposition at
Salem are C. M. Kppley, C. K. Spanltl
