Mr.. Clement has a plank in his plat
form which rcads; w charge the re-
publican machine of Vermont with
continuing the rotten borough system
to maintain it's absolute supremacy
And Mr.. Clement pledges his best ef-
forts to secure an amendment to
change the present system of repre-
scntation from towns to districts.
This means that your town will have
no representative in tho Legislature,
that your town will become one OF n
chain of towns and that this chain NJ
towns will elect a representative. VIII
you stand for It? There's just one
way to avoid this Clement plan and
that is to vpte the straight republican
ticket.

BIG SPOKANE
DEVELOPMENT
CONVENTION
Planning for -Four. States to
Unite in Advertising the
Northwest

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 1.-One of
the most important movements ever
started in the Pacific northwest Is
the convention which has been call
ed to meet in Spokane, Sept. 25,
during the Spokane interstate fair,
to which the commercial bodies in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana have been invited to send dele
gates. G.. B. Dennis, chairman of
the publicity committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce and Theodore B.
Wilcox, chairman of the executive
committee of the Portland CONNER
cial club, have issued the call, which
has been widely published by the
press in the Pacific northwest Many
of the leading commercial bodies al
ready have signifled their intertion
of sending delegates and to assist in
every way possible with the work.
The call says: THE purpose of this
gathering is to bring together the
representative men of the most pros
porous section of the United States
and after a thorough consultation,
unite upon a plan to advertise the
actual resources, and not to exploit
the peculiar advantages of any of
the cities. Every city and town in
the four states is equally interested
in securing the home builder. for it
is only through increased population
that we can develop these tremend-
Gus resources"
The railroads will grant law rates
to all delegates. One line of work
for the convention will be to take
steps to induce the legislature for
the four states interested to make
for advertising the
northwest.

Pacific States Company will
Increase Wires TO
Portland

j. H. Thatcher, superintendent of
the Pacific States Telegraph & Tele-
phone company, came up from Port
land yesterday to look after the in
terests of the company in this city,
and returned home actually happy.
The time was, Mr.. Thatcher said,
when he used to be afraid to come
TO Salem on account of the feeling
against his company, but now every
thing is different. During the past
year the company has spent consider
able money here in substantial i'm
provements, and the service is up to
the standard. Aside from installing
an underground system and adopting
other expensive ideas, the company
has also looked after many little
matters, such as keeping its poles
in order and painting them. All
these things count, and even a
despised corporation should have
credit for doing a good thing.
Mr.. Thatcher reports that he has
recommended to his company an ex-
penditure of about $4,000 in the
near future for feeders leading out
of Portland. This is to consist of
copper wires on many new long dis
tance lines to relieve the present
congested condition of the traffic,
and they will be extended in every
direction. He also says they will do
more work in Salem, including con-
siderable underground, and some
cables above to displace some of the
open wires now in use.
