hat her final destination was some
point either on the ohio or Missis-

All through the morning they swung
forward in the heat and dust n

Oakland. Cal, March 4.-Aroused
by alleged Lawrence tactics" on the
part Of Oakland police, whom they
charge with invading a Socialist meet
ing here, and indiscriminately club
bing men and women, prominent So
clalists here, following an indlgna-
tion meeting, today win enter charges
against Captain Book and Captain
Lynch, Of the Oakland police depart
ment Failure Of the city council to
impose proper punishment, the Social
lists declare, will result in the party
starting d recall movement against
the city officials.
Two women, Mrs. r. A. Reynolds
and Mrs, W. Elliott, both Of Oakland,
the Socialists allege, were severely
dubbed about the breast and body. ].
II, Chestnut, who was presiding over
the meeting, and +. S, Hamilton, as
slstant editor Of the Socialist World,
are In the hospital today, the Social.
lists assert, as the result Of beatings
administered by the police. Twenty
five other men are suffering from
broken heads.
Street Speaking Started IT.
The trouble started last night when
the I. W. Ws. attempted to hold a
street meeting, despite the fact that
permit to hold an open-alr meeting
was denied them. Six policemen, led
by Captains Book and Lynch, II is as
serted, charged the gathering with
drawn clubs, knocking men down right
and left.
! The I. W. ws. fled, but quickly re"
formed and started to parade down
Broadway. Again, It Is alleged, that
the police charged the marchers, who
went in a body to the Socialist hall,
where ]. B. Osborn, blind Social
ist, was addressing an assemblage.
Paying no heed 10 protests Of Social
lists, who we're indignant at the lntru.
sion, the police, It is charged, began
a clubbing crusade against both so
ciallsts and I. W. VS., which did moi
end until the heads Of many men and
women had been broken.
Socialists Are Sore.
The Socialists allege that the at
tack was unwarranted. They point
out that they had nothing to do with
the street meeting, and we're conduct
ing their session in an orderly man
new, when the police broke througl
the doors.

VOLUNTARY
ROOSEVELT
PETITIONS
KEEP COMING FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE STATE-TERRIBLR MA
CHINE OPPOSITION.

Roosevelt petitions keep coming in
from all parts of the state and they
are voluntary petitions. A number
counties have completed petitions
and they are filed with the secretary
of state. There is no chance what
ever but that the name Of Theodore
Roosevelt will go upon the presiden-
tial preference primary ballot.
1t should be remembered that the
machine in Oregon is ali for Taft and
the machine press is all for Taft, and
that all Roosevelt sentiment is sup
pressed, even his speech at the Col
umbus, Ohio, constitutional conven-
tion, and that only one newspaper in
Oregon in any city of any size has
even been willing to allow his petit
tions and utterances to 80 before
the people--The Capital Journal
there keeps growing a sentiment fa-
vorable to him not only In this state
but all over the nation. Why do the
machine papers and the machine poll
iticians fear even the mention of the
name of Roosevelt? He is not per-
feet man by any means and he has
made mistakes. But he is his own
boss and that is what the people de-
mand of a president
For instance, in one county where
county clerk very haughtlly re-
turned the Roosevelt petitions, and
wrote an insulting letter to this pa
per because 1t merely suggested that
the people had right to have an
opportunity to express themselves
for Roosevelt II they desired to dc
that, and in a week he was hauled
up for not turning in game and fish
ing license fees for three years In
that same county prominent Dubl'
ness man wrote him for the ROOse'
welt petitions to circulate and h'
wrote him that he had given them al
out, (which was a lle as he returned
them to this oflce,) and now ask
this ofice for blank petitions. Tha
is the way the grating elemen
hates Roosevelt and will do all in IL
power to keep his name from ever
getting 70 the people. ee::::. Pc. ttsss TP5o
ple will win out and the delegation
from oregon viii be instructed TO
