< DEMOCRATIC SPEECH
First One of the Campaign
Held at Opera House
Thursday Night--Was No
Vote Getter.

The Democrats broke the ice in
the present political campaign
last Thursday evening when a
talk on democracy was given by
lanes ]. Bowler of Milwaukee at
the opera house. In the way of
vote getters it failed, inasmuch
as the speaker did not present
to the audience any practical
reason why they would better
the conditions by voting for
BRYAN.
Mr.. Bowler's talk was not Wit
rolic and he did no mud singing,
something which those present
fully appreciated. 1t was mainly
upon general topics and what
few points Mr.. Bowler meant
to emphasize failed for the rea-
son ne lacked the essential quail
ity necessary to stir up the voter
"a good strong voice with
plenty of steam behind it. In
speaking of trusts being tostered
by the protective tariff Mr. Bow
Ter stated that the greatest
trust was the Standard Oil
trust and that there was tariff
on oil. In this he was mistaken
for oil is not protected and can
come into this country free. His
delineation of the depositors
guarantee proposition. which
the democratic party is heralding
as saver to the depositor, was
in no way treated in manner
which would give the voter an
idea of what the proposition
really was, and as a result will
not be conducive to vote getting.

Labor Backs Bryan.
Union labor in Portland and through
out the state of Oregon is behind Mr..
Bryan in his campaign almost to a
man, according to the expressions
made by prominent. labor union men
in the discussion of the present politi-
cal campaign. 1t is freely estimated by
union men in different vocations and
from different localities that when the
organized labor vote of the state is
cast in November fully 80 per cent Of
it will go into the ballot box support
ing the democratic candidates.
The unanimity Of this sentiment and
the close adherence to the estimated
ratio Of the vote to be cast for the diff
ferent candidates is building optimism
in the ranks of the party leaders under
the Bryan standard, and at the same
time is casting gloom among the fol-
lowers Of Mr. Taft throughout the
state.
The action of the federated trades
council is looked upon as a most i'm
portant index by thei party leaders
Made up Of representatives of all the
different branches of organized labor
as the council is it's membership COM
posed of delegates from these different
unions acting under the instructions
from their parent unions, it is easy to
be seen that the expression Of the
council is in reality the composites voice
Of organized labor as a whole.
Again, the rank and file' Of union
men, not in Portland alone, but all
throughout the state look to the Port
land council as a leader in the shaping
of policy for the labor unions of the
state. This Endorsement of Mr.. Comp
ers and reputation Of Mr.. Taft by the
Portland COUNCIL is expected to result
in similar action being taken by labor
organizations throughout the state.

Commonwealth

Sinks VoIund

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s-While
thousand passengers were sleeping
aboard the Fall River liner Common
wealth, today, the ship ran down and
sunk the Norwegian steamship volund
in a heavy fog, off Race Rock, on Long
Island sound. One member Of the crew
went down with the ship, but it Is be-
lieved to be the only one who perished.
A panic ensued on the Commonwealth,
which was able to steam away.
The Commonwealth was steaming
ten knots an hour when the Volund
suddenly loomed up In the fog di-
rectly ahead. SO close that it was i'm
possible to prevent a collision. The
impact was so great the passengers
were thrown from their berths. The
Volund was struck below the water
line, ripping a big hole in her hull,
which filled with water rapidly and
she foundered. Small boats immediate
ly put out from the Commonwealth
and Is of the crew of II were taken
aboard the Commonwealth. COOiness
Of the officers prevented serious re-
suits. The Volund was bound for Nova
Scotia. She is a total wreck.

COMMITTEE GETS
DOWN TO WORK

Appointed February Is, 1907, to take
the preliminary steps in the reor-,
ganization Of the Commercial club, the
committee met last night in the rooms
of the club to make plans for the
working over Of the constitution and
bylaws Of the club. G.. G. Gose is
chairman OF the committee, whose
other members are J. J. Schiffner, John
Smith. George Spinning and Ed Mills.
When 1t became apparent more than
a year and a half ago, that the club
would have to occupy new quarters.
and that it, would be broadened and
its scope enlarged. it was seen that
he loosely drawn constitution would
not do. When the club was first or
ganized, one of the members acted
as secretary at odd times, and without
salary. The club met at call and any
where 1t could.
To get articles under which the op-
Grafton Of an up-to- date club would be
possible, the committee was appointed.
and 1t met last night Little was done
last night aside from desultory dis
cussions.

hard hit and loses several men.

help some in the. tangle which has
surrounded athletics in the north
west.
Another rule, meant to bar tramp
athletes which provides that they shall
not play until they have been at a
school one year in case they change
schools is bOthering, and two ques-
tions will be asked, as follows:
First-Shall Rue 2 be interpreted so
as to bar student during his first
year who has been in attendance at
another institution of college rank
where he did not participate in inter-
collegiate athletics?
Second-Shall Rule 2 be interpreted
to bar a student from intercollegiate
activities who, having been enrolled in
an institution Of college rank and
having subsequently been out of COL
lege, for at least one college year, en-
ters one of the institutions of this con-
ference, until he has been in attend
ance at such conference institution one
year?
Grinstead says a majority vote will
determine the Interpretation. This
will put at an end, and finally, the
status Of the threa local players,
,Philbrook, Lyman and Spagle. And the
result of the vote will be awaited
with anxiety by the local collegians
and sympathizers.
