REPUBLICAN STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE

'Unitee Press Leased Wire
Portland, Or. April 3O.-United
States Senator Jonathan Bourne has
lost his grip on the Republican state
central committee and their endorse
ment OF Taft yesterday is an almost
fatal blow to his plans of bringing
in an uninstructed delegation from
Oregon at the Chicago convention.
Bourne's friends fought hard to
prevent the Taft resolution from
coming before the COMMITTEES but,
they failed, and when the endorse
ment was presented It was not re-

Great Excitement h Pensaeoia When News of Outrage Reaches There. Heavily Armed Men Go

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 25.-(Speclal.) Another attempted assault upon white women and within a mile of where two others have occurred within the past thirty days occurred tonight at o'clock though parties from that section have just reached the city. hav- ing gone on a chase for the men.
 According to these reports. Mrs. An- nie Briggs and her sister. Miss Lillian Herring, were returning home from a visit to a neighbor's house about hundred yards distant, when they were seized by two men and thrown to the ground. Both were choked but the screams of the women frightened the men who released their grasp and fled and fled into the nearby woods.
 The young women did not even ob- tain a look at the men as they ap- preached stealthy from behind them and the women did not know of their presence until they felt their hands about their throats.
 The throat of Mrs. Briggs shows the marks of fingers and she stated to Chief of Police Sanders. who has just reached the city, that her throat pains her considerably. Her sister, Miss Her. ring, is apparently uninjured but Is greatly shocked.
 Oflcers with bloodhounds hssve gone to the scene and will endeavor to take the trail of the men and follow it. Sew eral hundred people have also gone to the point, which Is four miles from the city, all heavily armed.
 There is much excitement in the city though 1t was at a late hour that the news of the assault reached here.

past week of the probability of the ist regiment being relieved by an order sending the 2nd regiment to guard property and citizens of the mineral region. The fst regiment has been on duty since saturday. Aug. 8. about T30 strong. and while the regiment has been of provisional character, the men are said to be impatient to get back. some of them at least, to their work.
 Prior to the calling out of the ist regiment, the strike duty was per- formed by the battalion of artillery and the squadron of cavalry, consist. ing of about 300 men. They were re lieved by the 1st regiment when that unit returned from the Chickamauga encampment.
 No reliance was placed in the report that the Ist regiment would be split in two and one-half sent home to cut down the expenses of maintaining the men around Birmingham. It Is not believed that the forces will be re- duced. It Is reasonable to expect. however. that regiment of men who have served for the past eighteen days win soon get relief.

HEARST SARCASTIC WITHDRAWs FROM THE FRISCO
 IROQUOIS CLUB. In His Letter To The C1ub, He Asks The Members What Kind of
 Democrats They

San Francisco. Calif.. Aug. 25--.wil. Ham Randolph Hearst last night gave out the contents of a letter addressed to the Iroquois Club. of San Francisco. a Democratic organization. replying te the request of the club that he tender his resignation as a member.
 Mir Hearst says in his letter that he is both pleased and surprised to re- ceive the letter from the club. pleased that he has been asked to resign and surprised that the club is still in ex- istence.
 Mir Hearst continues:
 You imply that am not a Democrat and strongly suspect that am not ac- cordlng to Democratic stands of today. You imply further that you are Demo- crats and can not help wondering what kind of Democrats you think you are. Are you 1892 Democrats or 1906 Democrats. or 1904 Democrats. or are you 1908 Democrats? Are you Cleve- land Democrats. believing in tariff re- form that we did not get, and the sup pression of labor unions, that we did get? Are you Parker Democrats. sup porting the trusts if they contribute and opposing if they do not? Are you Bryan Democrats, believing in free stl- yer sometimes. and government owner ship some times. and in the initiative and referendum some times? If you are Bryan Democrats do you also believe in a Bryan platform that contains none of these things?
 ''FrIends and ex-brothers of the Iro- duoIs Club, there Is no Democratic Party. There is only Bryan Party and the followers of that party do not know when they go to bed at night what they will be called upon to be- iieve when they wake And so l re- ceived your communication with pleas ure and gratitude, and so I withdraw from your club with pleasure and with out the slightest hard feelings. Good luck and God bless you, and may you be able to keep up with your mule"

COME WONT PTJMIT TENTS IsSs.s Order to Union
 Miners. MAY CONTEST IN COURTS Operators Reject Proposal For
 Meeting. second Regiment May Relieve list In- fantrymen on Duty in the
 Coal Mining Region
 of state.

Birmingham, Aug. 25.--tSpeeial.)-- Governor Conner at noon today Issued a statement that he would not permit the striking miners, who are adopting this system when forced to vacate their houses
 The Governors order concludes:
 Every one familiar with our sur- roundings knows this is a danger to the integrity of our civilization and q promoter of conditions most harmful to every citizen and every property. can conceive of nothing that would he more productive of more lasting harm. both in crime and health than the es- tablishment in our midst. without san itation and without police protection. of such camps as saw on my tnspecs tion. therefore. put every one on notice that the establishment ofkhess camps will not be allowed"
 It is said that if the strike Is pro- longed the union men will contest the legality of the Governors order
 Tn spite of the lack of definite in- formation. hope that the strike of the coal miners of the Birmingham dis triet would soon be settled was plainly evident today.
 The report that Vice-President White of the United Mine Workers, was in conference with President Lewis. though not confirmed. was generally believed, and there was strong expec- tation that the result of this confer ence would be the calling off Of the strike.
 At union headquarters strict secrecy regarding the movements of MT. White was observed. but it was learned that he was expected back in Birmingham before Friday.
 Other reports were to the effect that orders had been issued from Indian apoIis headquarters that no more pro- visions were to be furnished, an order which would certainly mean the end of the struggle.
 Another report was that i,Oae men at the mines at Driftun, an Walker County, had torn up the union char ter and gone back to work This last could not be confirmed, but caused much excitement fon the streets.
 The only violence reported was the stoning of the house of Blrmingh am negro Samuel Goodson. Goodson is said to have been visited several times recently by a non-union miner and the attack is attributed to this source. He was awakened early this morning by a shower of missiles thrown through the windows, and was badly bruised

because a party too long In control be- comes rotten and corrupt
 You will be able to show that the ooasted prosperity upon which the Re- publican party carried the country four years ago. has rested upon the unwar- rantable assumption that the bounds of nature and a demand for Ameri- can products aboard have been origi- mated and controlled by the Republf- can. You will be able to show that the tariff Is a fair example of Republi- can policies. That the taxing Of the many for the benefit of the few has resulted in an unequal distribution Of wealth, and that history supplies no in- stance where the unequal dispersion of wealth has not resulted in an unequal subdivision of power, which has al- precision of the masses. You will be able to show that the cry of conserva- tisln now raised by the Republican party is a counterfeit of the grossest character, and that if the people accept 1t as pure gold. they will awaken 10 find that 1t has turned to mere alloy, for it is conservation that stands for retrogression. and not progress, and If 1t were long to prevail it would not only mean universal stagnation. but the hands of the clock would be turned backward toward the period when men stalked the earth with bow. and spear, clad in the skins of wild beasts. and bounced upon everything that crossed their path.
 You will be able to show that the Democratic party Is capable of bring ing about wholesome reforms without alarm or danger to those who have be- come the innocent possessors of in- Hated securities which Republican prosperity and solemn promise to keep up. induced them to purchase. Pass ing from survey of conditions and principles to the consideration of can didates you will be able to show that taking the Chicago platform, the un- certainty of Taft on great public ques- tions. and the known corporation bias of sherman. together. they constitute Republican parties original apology for the uproar that has been created among the big interests during the last six years You will be able to show that Taft Is attempting to reach the White House through 8 mirror maze. which is likely to leave him on Novem- Der 3. just where he started on the 18th of June.
 Taft's Candidacy.
 After reading Tafts letter of ac- ceptance you will be able to show that his candidacy is like one of those new fangIed signs that we see so often upon the streets. When you are approach ing 1t reads one thing, and when you are leaving 1t spells something else. And also in this connection you will be able to show that in places where
