Some of the Chamberlain chickens ~
are coming home to roost these days.
For some time the Democrats reallz-
ing that Chamberlain's chances OF cleo
tion were becoming poorer every day,
have been making frantic efforts to
get the national administrator to en-
dorse his candidacy. Many calls for
help have been sent to Secretary Bry-
an to send out a letter to the Demo-
Gratis of Oregon which might Save
George" Just when this little ar
rangement promised to go through sat
isfactorily, r. A. Caples, of Portland,
an anti .Chabmerlain Democrat, wired
Secretary Bryan reminding him OF
Chamberlain refusal to preside,
speak, or attend the meeting at the
old Baker theatre in Portland to ratify
the nomination of Bryan at the close
of the Denver convention, on the
grounds that he was not taking sides
in the national campaign as he was a
non partisan candidate for senator and
did not desire to offend Republican vot-
ers." 1t is probable that in the inter.
ests of party regularity enough pres.
sure will be brought to bear upon the
national administration to secure the
20. X" so much desired, but just now
it is worrying the Chamberlain people
considerably.
Then, again, it is whisperedsabout
Portland that Senator Lanes friends
are not working over time for Cham
berlain. They remember that Cham
berlain threw cold water on Lane:
candidacy in 1912 until his hand was
called by.F. c. Myers, then campaign
manager.for Lane, and now postmaster
of Portland. Lanes friends include {
large part of the federal office holders
in the state.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1914-10-01

"Bill" Hanley, ex-Republican, ex-
Democrat, ex-Anti-Roosevelt, and now
running as Progressive candidate for
senator on the Progressive ticket, but
not saying much about the Progress
i've" part of the matter. is said to
have admitted several times recently
in private conversation that he knew
he had no chance of being elected, and
to have admitted by inference that he
was in the campaign simply as a
stalking horse" to help Chamberlain.
A good many of the wisest political
prophets about the state, however,
think that he, Hanley, will have his
trouble for .his pains" and that the
votes he gets will mostly be drawn
from the Chamberlain strength instead
of from Booth. This will be great
disappointment to those who put W
Hanley as a dummy candidate t.
draw strength from Booth
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1914-10-01

There is very different spirit among
the laboring vote this year from that
which prevailed in 1912. Talk to a
railroad man, who is working part time
now, or to one of those left in the re-
duced force of some mill. or factory,
near Portland, and he will say some
thing like this:
1--WE have got to vote Republican
this year. That empty dinner pail must
be filled. 1t is going to be mighty
hard winter. We have no use for the
Democrats now.
1t is estimated by railroad men that
1000 idle men drifted INTO Portland
last month from eastern Oregon alone.
There are 1000 people in Oregon de
pendent upon work connected with the
| lumber industry. The Underwood tar
if law has resulted in throwing out Ol
work large part of the laboring mer
in lumber mills in Oregon and Wash
ington.
Great interest is being taken in the
luncheon which the Republican womeT
are going to give at the Hotel Multno
nah in Portland at noon Friday, Octo
Der 2. The meeting will be presided
over by women and many women will
speak. r. A. Booth. candidate fo
senator, DR.. James Witbycombe, can
didate for governor, and many of thu
other prominent candidates will b'
present and make short talks. Th,
affair is known as the "Empty-Dinner
Pail-Luncheon" and every Republican
in the state is invited to be present.

STILL FIND WITCHES

to have the ability to exercise this
baleful power. A hex" doctor visited
him, and when he thought he had dis
covered a faith in their mysteries the
stranger withdrew and later sum-
moned him to his house, where he was
informed that he had discovered that
an old witch had made wax image
of the stranger and stuck pins in GER
tain parts of it. Hence the pains!
Could he be cured? asked the pa
tient. The hex" doctor assured him
that his powers were superior to those
of the witch and he undertook to
prove it. Getting a wax image, he
placed it in front of the fireplace,
showed a brass bullet into an old
muzzle-loading pistol and extinguished
all the lights but that made by the
fire.
The doctor knelt on the floor and
the patient was told to hold his hands
upon the seat of his pains. The bullet
was then fired into the abdomen of
the wax figure, while lamentations
were said, and the man was assured
that he was cured With all truthful
ness ne could say that he had no more
pain and for himself had proved the
existence of witchcraft in Pennsylva-
MIA in the twentieth century.

brotherhood and equality and modern

Woman Freed for Sorcery Re-
Gently in Pennsylvania.
"Hex" Doctor Shoots Wax Image to
Relieve Pains Caused by Powers
of the Evil Eye-SaIt in
Lawyers Bed.

New York-A woman tried for
witchcraft! We hold up our hands
and wonder at the bigotry of those
Mass. Such a situation seems so re-
mote from anything that would be
possible today! So we are in the
habit of saying, but it is not an i'm
possibility.
Only short time ago woman was
tried for witchcraft in court of law
in south Pennsylvania. That was not
the name used in the charge that was
brought against her, but that was the
accusation that was lodged in the
minds of every one who was interest
ed in the case, which was tried in a
region so thoroughly saturated with
traditional superstition that not even
the present prosperity and general ed
ucation can destroy them. Technically
the woman was convicted of obtaining
money under false pretenses, but ac-
tually she was convicted of being a
witch-a hex" doctor who pow
vowed"
in Camden county there is a hole in
the post of a mahogany bedstead filed
with salt which witnesses to his belief
In witchcraft At one time he prose
cuted case against an old woman
who, when convicted and fined, left
the court muttering lamentations and
vowing vengeance.
That night the lawyer was suddenly
attacked with violent pains in the
! head The curse had come upon him
| and he feared the wretched old wom-
an, whom he believed to- be respon-
sible for it. Only witchcraft can
drive out witchcraft No doctor of
medicine would do in such a case.
A day laborer who was born with
a caul over his face was brought in
, through the back door and taken to
! the bedroom of the suffering lawyer.
The electric lights had been extin-
! guished and a candle fiickered at each
side of the bed. Looking at the pa
tient through the veil, which he AYERS
is the identical one that he was born
with, the hex doctor muttered his
! peculiar flIudI, IleQ EdtISSudhS
around the sufferers neck and bored
the hole in the northeast leg of the
bed, filling it with salt. over which
he had chanted lamentations. This
done, he announced that the evil pow
ers had notified the witch, who lived
in hut at some distance, that she
could no longer hold dominion over
the body of her enemy, the lawyer.
| The patient believed that his pains
ceased from that hour.
A prosperous merchant in Carlisle
permitted the body of his infant child
to be covered with a coating of green
paint in obedience to the orders of a
hex doctor who had been called in
to ward off the evil spirits.
A stranger in Ca isle pretended
that he had suffered from pain in the
/ stomach which he believed to be due
to the evil eye of an old woman of
| the town who was generally believed
