clarlng that "he Is doing the noblest
and best thing any .man ever did,"
Governor Hiram Johnson this after
noon paid glowing tribute to the Bull
Moose leader before the delegates to
the state progressive convention as
sembled here.
"We love our leaders," said Gover
nor Johnson, "beyond all men. I came
2000 miles for him, and next week we
shall nominate him for president.
'In California we have the initia
tive, referendum and recall laws in
effect. We cannot get along without
these measures to control recalcitrant
government officials. When all the
people have these laws, there will be
no such outrage committed as was
witnessed at the Republican conven
tion held here In June."
Governor Johnson was warmly ap
plauded.
INDUSTRIAL
FAIR WILL BE
INTERESTING
When the Children's State Industrial
Fair convenes here next month in con
nection with the regular state fair
the people of the state of Oregon will
be given the opportunity of examining
admiring and awarding prizes on ex
hibits produced by 60,000 of Oregon's
125,000 school children.
Since the movement looking to the
ertabllshment of this fair and making
It a permanent thing In the life of the
young people was launched this
spring, every county In the state has
been aroused and all will send exhib
its. Each county. In addition to send
ing exhibits to the state fair, will hold
county fairs and It is estimated that
$20,000 in prizes will be distributed by
the counties and state combined.
The exhibits will consist of agricul
tural products and products of a me
chanical character. That Is for the
boys, and also for some of the girls,
for many girls have entered the gar
den and poultry contests. As prizes,
besides cash, stock and mechanical
tools will be offered. The movement
Is big enough bo that It also takes In
Its scope the girls and they will have
on exhibition garments made by their
own hands, and a lot of other things.
The winners will be awarded prizes In
the shape of useful household articles
and cash.
The Idea of the movement is to in
terest the children In agricultural and
Industrial work, and after they once
are Interested they will learn how to
work. After they have learned and
have to leave the schools and go Into
the world they will be In a position to
do the things the world demands of
them, for there Is a great demand for
people who know how to do agricul
tural and Industrial work. Besides
this It will bring about the much
closer relationship between the boys
and the fathers on the farms and
brighten the homes, and on top of it
all when once In full swing It will In
crease the wealth of the state by mil
lions of dollars; for If every boy In
the school would establish a chicken
yard there would be more eggs and
poultry for the trade; and in like
manner should he establish gardens or
go into the stock business, even
though on a small scale, the elemen
tal, wealth of the state will be In
creased. The industrial fair, though in its
first year, is destined to be a grand
success, and It will be one of the In
teresting features of the regular state
fair.

Chicago, Aug. 3. With Professor
Charles E. Merrlam acting as tempor
ary chairman, the "Bull Moose" party
was formally launched In Illinois to
day with the opening, at 11 o'clock,

gates was the advisability of placing
a third party In the field to oppose
Governor Charles S. Deenen, who has
been renominated on the regular Re
publican ticket.

ly favors the candidacy of Roosevelt
for president, he refuses to leave the
republican party, and many of the
state Roosevelt leaders are opposing
Deneen. Chief of these Is Medlll Mc
Cormlck, who opened the fight to put
a th!rd party ticket in the field. He
favors the nomination of state Sen
ator Frank H. Funk, of Rloomlngton,
one of the richest men In the state,
for governor.
Governor Hiram Johnson, of Cal
ifornia, who is here for the national
progressive convention, is expected
to address the state convention some
