II firmly believe in the retention of
the Philippines. We cannot do other
wise than keep them. If we dispose of
them to any other nation it will GER
tainly precipitate war, and they are
not yet capable of governing them
selves. Until that time the best we can
do is to give them good military gov

necessary to administer the civilian
functions of government, and when they
are ready to form a government of their
own give them our blessing and let them
do so.

Dependency and Financial Troubles At
tributsd As Cause for Rash Aet.
The unexpected disappearance from
this city and the whereabouts Of WAL
demar Nelson are no longer a mystery.
As result Of dispondeDcy and fnan-
cial trouble Nelson ended his life in
the Portland City Park early Tuesday
morning. The man was found in a
sitting posture just after the deed bad
been perpetrated, with a bullet hole
10 his right temple while in his hand
he held a 80 c8liOre revolver with
which be took his life. Being a
stranger ia the metropolis, the man
was removed to the morgue to await
Identification. His identity was not
positively established until late We'd
nesday afternoon subsequent to a cor
Oners inquest that found the deceased
had shot himself with suicidal intent.
No disposition has yet been made Of
the remains.
AS intimated 10 the article regard
ing Nelson's mysterious disappear
ance, published in Wednesday eve
ning's JOURNAL, Mr.. Nelson extended
his business visit TO San Francisco,
where an only aunt lives, the only
relative vf the dead man in this
country as far as is known. He re-
turned To this state reaching Port
land Monday morning when he reg
istered at the Esmond hotel. 1t is
thought he had been to San Fran
cisco for the purpose of either dispos-
ing Of or raising some money on prop-
erty and went direct to Portland in
order to secure the through rebate on
his fare, He confided to the hotel
clerk that he had been unsuccessful
10 his efforts to raise money, and
seemed very despondent.
Inquiry among Mr.. Nelson's friends
in this city elicits the Information
that he was considerably involved,
For several months past business in
his line has been exceedingly dull,
Thomas g. Watt hold a mortgage on
the machinery in Nelson's dye
plant for about 1920 while W. G.
Westacott has a second claim of sl23. 80.
There are number of other smaller
claims held againts him by Salem
people.
Nelson was a native Of Russia, and
was about so years Of fage. With the
exception Of an aunt who resides in
San Francisco, he has no relatives in
this country. He has been resident
of Salem since 1885 coming here from
San Francisco. He was, as rule at
tentiYe to his business but at times
would grow respondent and resort to
drinking. His honesty was unques-
toned and generosity to deserving
persons made for him many friends.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,

| The following is the platform adopted
by tts republican party Of Oregon in
So convention assembled, at Astoria

= the republican voters of the
state Of Oregon, in convention assem-.
blef, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation or
;he unmistakable fact that the darE
cloud Of adversely, which has hung like
a pail over our fair land, has been dis.

OF the republican party to power
| I'VE are in favor of the maintenance
OF the present gold standard; we are
unqualihediy opposed to the free coin

rency and the repudiation of debt We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured
| by the government to the laborer as
| the lruit of his toll and to the farmer
as the price of his crop. We condemn
| the continued agitation of free silver
rs calculated to jeopardise the prosper

ton against section; we declare that
the interests of all classes and of all

while we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for
7 the vindication of the national honor
and the performance of work dictated
by every instinct of humanity; we de-
clare that the administration is en-
Titled in this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
We are firmly attached to the prin-
clp'es of the federal constitution: we
recognize that representative govern

are opposed to any change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this

We are in favor of retrenchment

We demand strict economy in pub

end we favor state aid in the artificial
propagation of salmon, and their dis
trloution in the waters of the state.

principles of the republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in st. Louis
in 1896.

good government cannot come from
such an alliance"
