BRYAN soon began his unprecedented and
unequalled campaign tour. tie did NOT
then possess the suavity Of his later years
but he was nightly in earnest. No other
man has aver aroused the enthusiasm
which he created in that campaign. lie
spoke to over FIVE million people, making
over thousand separate speeches. In
the first part of the campaign he travelled
in ordinary day coaches, tho railroads
making it az hard for him AS possible:
Toward the end Of the campaign the rail
roads relented and he WAS enabled to get
q private ear He was without money and
In his great canvass was sometimes forced
to borrow the price of ticket to the next
stopping place. -,
Against this terrific campaign, which
seemed to be sweeping the country fof
the Democrats, Mr.. Hanna planned the
great campaign of education. lhe
farmers of the agricultural states east ef
the Mississippi were induced I. beieve
that the election Of Bryan would mean
bankruptcy for them. All of tho wealth
of the country was back of Hanna--he
had millions to spend and he knew how
to do ii.
Careful canvasses taken two months
before the elections showed that such
states as Ohio and Indiana were for Bryan.
The work that WAS done TO turn that de
feat into the overwhelming victory OF
November was due to the political sagacity
of Marcus A. Hanna.
Bryan's appeals TO the people Of every
section, the enormous popular interest In
his personality and the picturcsquoness
of his campaign. on the one side, and the
efforts of the Republicans to reach every
voter with campaign literature and per-
sonal argument on the other side, resulted
in a widespread popular interest in politics
such rs had never been known.
While the campaign was decisive and
while it practically settled the money
question for all time, defeat did not dimin-
ish the popularity of the Democratic
standard-bearer, who has ever since stood
high in the councils of his party. Nc
Kinley was chosen President and his
witnessed the return of
the greatest the country has
ever known. After all, not the least among
the Republican assets of 1896 was the
fact that the panic of 1898 came during
Democratic administration.

CARS NECESSARY TO
RELIEVE SHORTAGE
NOT YET RECEIVED

Relief for the car shortagt stuaron
in the Pacific northwest promised by
the federal railroad administration two
weeks ago has failed to- materialize, u,
last so far as this state is concerned
according to Fred G. Buchtel, chair
man of the Oregon public service COM
mission. who has telegraphed Max
Thelen, director of public service of
the railway administration, calling his
attention to the situation in Oregon.
Approximately only thirty to thirty
five per cent of the requirements in
this state are being supplied at this
time, Buchtel states in his telegram,
calling attention to the administra-
tion's promise of 500 additional empty
cars daily for the Pacific northwest
from eastern lines, which, he states is
apparently not biting complied with" ;"
The Milwaukee line reports less than
200 empties moving westward while
the Great Northern reports approx
mately 1900 cars coming westward
along it's line. On the O-W. r. & N,
which was to have delivered rs emp
ties daily no cars have entered Oregon
to date under the administrations
promise of January 10th. The first
twenty days of January this region re-
ceived approximately one thousand
empties less than during the same per-
iod in october and shipped about $4,000
loads less, Guchtel explain. The ad-
ministration is urged to check up on
its recent promise of relief and insist
upon the cooperation of eastern lines
in aiding shippers from this section.

INTEREST IN CONTEST
FOR JOB AS SUCCESSOR
TOvARNEY RU MINING HIGH
Acting Chief Rowe Says His Only Interest Is In Securing
Head Acceptable To Force Moffitt, Rumored As Can
ddate, Denies He Seeks Office Wright And Welsh Men
toned.

Rumors that several candidates for
the position of chief Of police are being
considered by members of the city
council mas attracted much interest to
the contest that has reached a pitched
stage While discussion among coun-
cilmen on the subject of new chief is
rife, Acting Chief of Police Harry A.
Rowe, in a statement made Friday,
makes it plain that his interest in the
affair is not personal.
mo matter who the council appoints
chief to succeed Mr.. Varney," he said,
"'mx only hope is that they name a
man who is acceptible to the other
members of the department and VINO
can work in harmony with the coun-
Gil"
Acting Chief Rowe displays little
anxiety that the wishes of the mem
bers Of the department that he be re-
tanned as their chief will not be acsed
upon fayorably by the council. He
avoids discussion of the affair.
Joe Wright, candidate for the posi-
ton Of chief Of police in the race with
Mr.. Varney, is said to be considered
by members of the council for chief.
Mr.. Wright is at present serving as a
guard at the state penitentiary.
Jack Welsh, former chief of police,
is also mentioned as a candidate for
the post Of chief Mr.. Welsh is now
employed at the plant of the Witten-
burg-King company as engineer
1t was rumored that a petition, ask
ing the council to retain Mr. Rowe as
chief of police, had been drawn and
was being circulated among the busl-
ness men Of the city.
Several members Of the police de-
partment have expressed regret that
the council did not appoint Mr.. Rowe
their chief at the last meeting. They
see in the appointment of him as act
ing chief a move toward the refusal in
the entirety OF their request that he be
their chief At the last meeting of the
council a petition, asking the council
to appoint Mr. Rowe chief of police,
signed by the other members Of the de-
partment was submitted.

KNIGHT BOARD
|. AT VARIANCE
With DANIELS
Naval Advisory Body Unable
To Support Award Of High
Decorations To Officers
Who Lost Ships In War

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Knight
board is unable to agree with Secre-
tary Daniels that naval officers who
lost their ships through enemy sub
marine action and performed meri-
torlous service in connection with
such loss should be awarded high
decorations, the senate investigating
committee was told today by Rear
Admiral Austin M. Knight, chairman
of the board
Admiral Knight said high decora-
ton was not deserved unless the sink
ing was accompanied by offensive ac-
ton against the enemy.
Admiral Knight said that in the
case of Commander d. w. Bagley,
Secretary Daniels brother-in-la no
decoration was recommended for any
circumstance in connection with the
sinking of destroyer Jacob Jones be-
cause Commander Bagley did not en-
gage the enemy. A navy cross was
was recommended for the officer, he
said, for good seamanship displayed
in taking off the crew and passengers
of the torpedoed British steamer Ora
ma. Commander Bagley was not rec
commended by his immediate super
ior, he said, for any decoration in
connection with the sinking of the
Jacob Jones.
Officers whose vessels were torpe-
doed, but who by good seamanship
and discipline, succeeded in saving
4 h oh INC - i
miral Knight declared.
1T is true that the board recon-
mended awards for several of the Of
ficers referred to by che secretary as
commanders of ships which were lost
or seriously damaged by enemy sub
marines or mines" Admiral Knight
said. "But in each case there was a
special reason. Captain Vernon of the
Cassin, Captain Dismukes of the
Mount Vernon, Captain Chase of the
Minnesota and Captain Graham Of the
Finland, saved their ships by excel
lent seamanship and discipline after
the ships were disabled"
No information was available to
guide the board in making recommen-
dations for Captain Satterlee of the
Tampa, and Commander Ghent of the
Antilles, nor were any circumstances
known that would justify such award,
Admiral Knight said. Secretary Dam
iels awarded ID. S. MS to both Off
GERS The Tampa and Antilles were
torpedoed and sunk.
Commander Foote's case is the
only one in which the board recon-
mended the award of d. S. M, for
circumstances connected alone with
the actual loss of ship" Admiral
Knight said, "and this recommends
ton was based chiefly upon the rec
concentrations of Admiral Gleaves
and Admiral Mayo"
The award recommended for Cap
tain Christy the admiral said, was
based not only on his conduct at the
time of the sinking of his ship, the
Iarmored cruiser San Diego, but for
his later service in command of the
battleship Wyoming. Commander
Conn was not recommended for
award in connection with the loss of
his ship, the yacht Alcedo the witness
continued but was recommended for
navy cross under the general cita-
tion given destroyer commanders.

labor SITUATION
HERE HELD GOOD

The labor conditions in Salem are
the best of any city on the coast, ac-
.cording to information issued Friday
by City Recorder Race, head of the
municipal labor bureau. There are
plenty of jobs, and a scarcity of work
men, that just about balances the sit
uation, Mr.. Race said.
The addition of crews to the Ore
gon Pulp & Paper company's mill,
and the employment of numerous
men on the lines of the oregon Elec-
trio railroad aided materially in end
ing unemployment in the city.
Among the positions open Friday
We're: three married men for farm
work, several single farm hand jobs
woodchoppers and woman cook.
School teachers of Hood River have
organized an association for the pur-
pose of securing better salaries.
