Senator Pierce reviewed generally
the vast increases in the Oregon state
expenditures ana bonded Indebtedness
until now it is the most heavily bond
ed state in the union. He closed his
address with Il plea for the support
of the sane thinking people of Ore
gon that eve may pass on unincum-
bered with debt and tax burdens the
heritage we received from our fore
fathers that they may enjoy it without
stint"
Senator Pierce was alIudeG to by the
first speakers of the evening as the
only man now in whom Oregon can
pin its hope for a return of normalcy.
Not, it was said, that the governor can
make the laws, but he can prevent
further insane taxation by his influ-
ence and his veto.
The first speaker called was Jess
Winburn. He explained that he had
thrown his support to Senator Pierce
after overnor Olcott has proved him
self an migrate.
Senator Sam Garland preceded SEN
ator Pierce with a discourse of taxa
ton. He also recalled that the Demo-
cratic party in oregon has won credit
for freeing Oregon of its scourge of
Republican bossism in the election Of
George f. Chamberlain repeatedly to
the governorship and to the United
States senate.
J. X. Weatherford OF Albany re-
ferred to the founders of Linn county
as true Jeffersonian Democrats. Their
slogan was The greatest good to the
greatest number" This is the slogan
of the Democratic party now seeking
to elect Senator Pierce, he said. SEN
ator Pierce. he concluded lis just such
a true patriot and man as were the
pioneers who saved oregon for the
Union.
James e. Hunt of Portland, Repub-
lican and former state senator from
county, declared that he
is not only supporting senator Pierce,
but also will vote a straight Demo-
cratic ticket next November. The sins
of the Republican party, chief among
them the Fordney-McCumber tariff,
have driven him this year to the
Democratic ranks. because he is pro-
gressive, he declared.
Before Senator Pierce began his ad-
dress, Thomas Crawford, Judge Nor
row. Or. Smith, Judge Tou Velle and
Elton watkins were introduced. Wat
kins' illusions to President Wilson,
whom he classed among the nations
greatest men, won prolonged applause,
