GOOD TALK
FROM ClAPP

Washington, May 7.-Senator Clapp
of Minnesota, spoke on tariff at the
opening of the Senate session this
between protective tariff and tariff
for revenue only. He said he believes
the revision should have been taken
up one item at a time, instead of by
complete revision, as the latter me-
thod would not have provoked the
great excitement the former has brot
out.
He said further that the promise
of the Republican party was for a re
vision downward in response to the po
sitive demand, and that the position
taken by the protective interests was
that we should leave we'll anOugh
alone"
"If did not believe the duties would
be lowered in response to this demand
1 would pack my grip and go home to-
morrow" said Senator Clapp. Il am
not required to participate in such a
farce as the re-enaot1nent of the Ding
ley rates. The people understood we
were to have revision downward.
The men who made the platform I'M
derstood 1T as we understand it and no
plain away this in the fact of the pop
ular demand. If the demand for re-
vision did not mean changing duties
downwar, it did not mean anything
and we are indulging in a farce now"
Declaring that if Congress should
now fail to lower tariff rates the DEM

these occurring always when unusual
storms and cyclones have been report

by these drying winds was relieved
somewhat in the upper Texas plains
by light snow in the after part OF the
winter.

LIVE STOCK
CONDITIONS

William Penn Anderson, travelling
live stock agent for the Pecos Val
ley lines of the Santa Fe system, whe
Is in thorough touch with live stock
interests throughout the Southwest, is
here today In conference with several
prominent cattlemen and norther cat
tie dealers relative to the movement
of cattle to Kansas and the North
west. To the Record he said: "The
general opinion of the cattlemen tri-
butay to the Pecos Valley lines and
along the Texas Pacific railroad con-
dgious thereto Is, that only small
per centum of the cattle on the rang
es could Ibe gathered until there is
rain enough to supply stock water.
Thus far there have been no concert
ed round-ups. What cattle that have
been brought together have been
found around the water holes and
been shipped out of and through the
valley, out of about 5000 cars order
ed. Many of the car orders cancelled
for Kan. pastures will find lodgment
in the Panhandle of Texas and other
section later on in the season.
"The losses ON COWS will be ex-
tre;nely great in localities where wat
er is most abundant from the fact
that such ranges are being over
crowded with cattle from sections
where stockwater has dried up.
Ranges out of the valley, in the hills
and mountains, where water Is procl-
rable, present cattle conditions up 30
the average of other seasons. There
seems to have been plenty of winter
feed and the mesquite foliage now
makes good browsing.
''In many cases where ontracts for
delivery could not be fulfilled, salts
factory adjustment has been made be-
tween buyer and seller by the refund
of the forfeit money.
Longer drout1ls have been known,
but no other period do l remember of
such atmospheric disturbances as
have characterized the gyrations OF
wind which seem to have lifted the
water almost in a night out of water

Special Information.

In view of the fact that great
number of the contestants do not
seem to understand that the nomina-
tion blank can be used more than
once, we wish to state that the NOM
ination blank can be used as many
times as the contestant is able to OBJ
tain the blanks. All that is neces-
sary to place on the nomination
blank is the contestants name and
the district in which she belongs. So
it is to the advantage of each contes-
tant to save the nomination blanks,
the same as the small coupons.
Securing Subscriptions.
Candidates in any certain district
are in no way restricted from secur-
ing subscribers in any locality that
they may wish. For instance, can
didate in district No. 1 may secure
subscribers in any of the other two
districts, in fact, candidates may
secure subscribers wherever they
can get them.
When Votes Are Counted.
All votes received after 4 p. m.
will appear in the issue of The Cap
ital Journal the day following.
The standing of the contestants as
it appears today includes all votes
cast today.
The popular free voting contest
being conducted by The Journal is
the greatest proposition of like
nature ever opened to the people of
Oregon, and we reserve the right to
offer more prizes in the different dis
tricts if we so desire. 1t is not alone
in the scope of territory over which
the voting extends, but in the splen-
dor and magnificence of the prizes
that are to be given to the popular
ladies selected by the votes of The
journal.
By means of votes cast before De-
cember IS, 1909, thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable prizes will be
distributed. These prizes consist of
a five-passenger touring car, three
$425 Eiler pianos, three 500 dia-
mond rings, three scholarships in
the Holmes Business College,, three
beautiful gold watches.
All the prizes that are offered will
be awarded to the young ladies des-

ignated by the free votes of The
Journal patrons. By free votes is
meant that every payment upon sub
scriptions made by either new or
old subscriber entities them to votes.
These votes are to be cast in ac-
cordance with the voting schedule in
favor of some candidate selected by
the patrons.
The fact that there is no addition
al expense attached to the votes
makes it an honor and a pleasure for
enterprising candidates to solicit for
votes among their friends, acquaint-
ances and fellow 'townsmen. There
is no reason for hesitancy or appre-
hension in asking the support of peo-
pie known to the candidate under
the favorable conditions governing
1he Journals contest, and the prizes
will be awarded to the ladies who
have the largest number of these
free votes at the close of the contest.
Hustle Is the Word.
Some of the candidates have al
ready mapped out their campaign
and are writing letters to their
friends and supporters and are tele-
phoning to others. The aggressive
ones are organizing their friends,
who are using their influence and
efforts in securing votes for the can
didates selected in the different com
munities. The sooner an active
campaign is commenced the greater
will be the opportunity to win prize
and there is not a single prize in
the attractive list that is not worthy
of the utmost endeavor.
Many Letters Received.
Hundreds of letters are being re-
ceived daily by the contest editor
from people who are asking for in
formation as to nominees, and from
candidates who desire knowledge of
1acts relating to the contest. All
these letters are promptly answered,
and in all cases the desired advice
is given. If there is anything you
want to know about the contest, do

better in the history of Oregon.

Holmes Business college.
The business scholarship feature
of The Journals voting contest ap-
peals particularly to the young la
dies in each community of the dis
rict who desire to qualify them
selves with a business education,
and there is no better schol in the
West for this purpose than the
Holmes Business College of Port
land. Dozens of young women in the
territory embraced have entered the
contest for the express purpose of
winning one of the valuable scholar
ships.
The scholarships, three in num-
ber, will be given as the fourth prize
The instructors in the different de-
partments of the Holmes Business
College are acknowledged to be the
best in their line, and for this rea-
son the school has met with phe-
nomenal success, and is today one of
the best business colleges west of
Chicago. In every town are. well-to-
do men and women who consider it
their duty, as vel las pleasure, to
assist young people in such a laud-
able ambition. AS soon as the young
woman aspirant makes her candi-
dacy known to people of this class,
as well as her personal friends, they
will at once begin to save the cou-
pons from The Journal and. send in
their subscriptions for a few months
or a year and get the votes. A new
subscriber for one year by mail or
carrier gives $1,000 votes. 1t re-
quires a very few of these at the
outset of the contest to place any
candidate in a most advantageous
position.

you are going to be one of the 70 -
tunate ones, and stive to attain that
end. You can do it if you try. Do
not wait until the last moment, but
