Gus attitude for worldwide peace and
program of constructive legislation and
to send only such men as are not bound

United States senate, United States
Senator Harry Lane delivered strong
argument in support Of the principles
of the present administration and the
democratic candidates for governor and
United States senator, and incidentally

dressed the people upon political is.
sues, and needed no special introduction
but he was presented TO the audience
by j. II. Albert, of the Capital Ma
tional Bank, and the address was pre-
ceded by several selections on the
street and in the armory by rne Cher
rians' band. He is a cool, fluent and
easy speaker and commanded the re-
spect and approval of his large audi.
ence throughout. He commented very
flatteringly upon the great advance in
progress that has been made in Salem
since his lnst appearance here and said
that, among other things, he would like
to move the national capitol to this
city, but owing to some constitutional
and legal entanglements, he did not be.
lieve he would be successful at least for
the present. -.
He reviewed the policy of the presi.
dent in his stand for peace in the Mex.
lean situation and his determined re.
fusal to declare war upon the innocent
and ignorant Mexicans which would
cause the shedding of much blood aud

ton Of capitplstic interests, lie also
denied very emphatically the published
reports in n Portland newspaper, to the
effect that he and Senator Chamber
lain were at political swords points,
and stated, to the contrary, that thoy
were Of the best Of friends and hac
worked side by side in the upper
branch Of congress to safeguard the in
terosts of the common people against
the avalanche Of tricky and vicious leg
islation that is continually being foist
ed upon congress by capitar through its
hired agents.
"I have nothing unkind to say about
Mr., Booth," " he said, in cumming NJ
the issues Of the campaign and analy2
ing the several candidates rOr United
States senator, "but II strikes me that
man who has such n greed for pluto
cratic land ownership, and who Is al
