1 'UB MOitHXiSO OHEGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, .' 1902., - ISSUES IN SEATTLE Republicans Will Be Elected, - .But What Then? PRESTON AND THE RAILROADS Hest of the Legislative Candidates Are ii Strongly AntI -Wilson Mc Bridc Policy Favored by Some .of tke Nominees. 1 SEATTLE; Oct. 12. (Special.) In King County the political campaign or nas ' progressed far enough to make possible a fairly comprehensive and accurate f-ore- cast or the November elections. There Is no doubt whatever that King County will noil thiB vear the largest vote In . its history, there being already in Seattle a registration approaching 20,000. The county will go Republican by 2500 to 3000 majority on the county ucKet, wim an equal showing for the Republican Con gressional candidates". s Here in Seattle the campaign Issues are sharply defined between, the Republicans and the Democrats, for in this city are located the state committee headquarters of both parties. Probably one of the most Interesting facte to be reported of the campaign in this state Is the entire ab ence of any element of Populism In the State at large. This is the more remark able when It Is recalled that only six years ago in the state election in Wash ington the Populists swept the state as a tidal wave, electing the Populist candi date for Governor by over 12,000 majority, and at the 6ame time choosing a State Legislature in which jthe Populists were In the majority over the aggregate vote of the Democrats, Republicans and sliver men in that body. Except In one or two eastern counties the Populists have no or ganization. The state committee has dis banded, and the Populist workers who1 a few years ago were loudly aggressive in every county in the state have dlsap--peared. So certain are the Republicans of elect . ing the entire Legislative ticket in King County that even though the campaign Is approaching its perihelion there is more interest today in the coming Senatorial fight at Olympla than in any other one feature of politics. Tho Legislative ticket is pledged by the Republican County Con vention to work and vote for the elec tion of Harold Preston, the King County Senatorial candidate. The delegation will number 25 men, "being therefore the larg est county delegation in the Legislature. The delegation, however, is unpledged absolutely on the railway commission is sue, and it is practically certain that a majority of the delegation will vote against the organization of the Legisla ture in the interest of the McBrlde policy. In . opposing the railway commission scheme, which the Governor has made the "paramount issue" in the campaign, "the King County legislators will be fol lowing out the sentiment of the Republi cans of this county. How seriously this fact will affect Mr. Preston can scarcely be guessed at at this time. Mr. Preston is unalterably pledged to support McBrlde and the com . mission bill, and It seems probable that "his candidacy will be bound up with the Governor's fight when the first clash comes at Olympla in the organization of tho House and Senate. Naturallv. then tho antl-commleslon and railway forces wilt "be massed solidly against' the King ' County candidate. These lines may be broken in some places, "It is true, but if the frame-up of the McBrlde-Preston combination at the recent Tacoma state convention Is any criterion, there will be. a pretty clear array of forces along the lines indicated. Preston and the RnilVoads.- Developments during the first SO days af ter election will determine, at least to a considerable prtpnt' vno-i . - -"V. WMktlil uuu 11IUU- ence which the railway fight will have on mi. xTcawn s canaiaacy. locally. Inter est is now centered upon the attitude, of the King County Republican Legislative delegation, even though the election is three weeks off. For, as a matter of fact, the ticket Is regarded already as elected. Of the 25 Republican Legislative nom inees in this county there are only three or four advocates of the appointive com mission measure. The delegation Is over whelmingly opposed to the McBrlde pol icy.. If, at the County Convention last June, when the ticket was nominated, the commission issue hod been raised, the Mc Brlde policy would have been overwhelm ingly turned down. The chairman of that convention, Samuel H. Piles, is the at torney for the Pacific Coast Company which owns two or three small railroads. Xti iT88, ne of the leaders of the antl-McBrlde forces -at the Taooma state convention. As chairman of the Kins County convention he had the naming of the committee of five which selected the K delegates to the state convention. Un der the circumstances It was natural to Presume that the delegation would be friendly to the railroads, but,- by aW shrewd move, Mr. Preston succeeded to one ' hSf ?MJeP f namine Penally deleffatIon to Tacoma. Mr. Humphrey, the candidate for Conjrress who was friendly to the railroad totS est, nned the other half of thedeleS tlon. This was last June. It was sun that not more than one-third of the dele gation would be found to adSe railroad commission. cate the dutS b?Mraed,ht con- SSto ttecuty 'o? resentatlves here delegaSS m?" -Proselyted to the MjIrM.ldeafM? Preston in many cases obtained a nrom Isem. Agates to e convention to SL'Sn al.th0Sh to so doing these men acted agaihst their own con victions The IClng County Senatorial candidate appealed to the delegates who were friendly to him on personal J? ouds? The result was surprising to almost every one. as the delegation split practical even when the test vote came-in the con vention. j The Line-Up on Senator. Will Mr. Preston be able to do as well with tho Legislative delegation to Olym pla? This is a question that is now causing the most intense interest in this county. It can scarcely be answered in the affirmative, at least at this time. Of the sir Senatorlal'nominees, all, save one. are pro-rallroaid. They are equally antl-Wllson, so that the Inference may safely be drawn that should Mr. Preston fall in landing jthe Senatorshlp, the best part of the delegation will go to Levi An keny, of Walla Walla. In the Thirtieth District Dr. J. J. Smith, the nominee, who has already served a short term In the Senate, is against Mc Brlde s policy. He will have an easy vic tory, as the district is largely Republican. In the Thirty-first District A. T. Van De Vander has a closer fight, but is certain of election. He is anti-commission, and" is no friend of John L. Wilson. In the Thirty-second District, which is strongly Remibllcafi. O. A. Ti.v c fiJ. candidate. isa Northern Pacific employe. t?.er' PPular young Republican.- In the Thirty-third District, Senator Hern ia iS a a"dldate for re-election, and -will have 2o0 votes to spare. He voted for Ankany for Senator in 1899, and on fater "t011 Uway bill two years George U. Piper, the Senatorial candi date in the Thlrty-fdurth District,' voted against the McBrlde appointive measure ML tUe Tacoma convention. His district is Republican by from 200 to 600. and there t absolutely no doubt of his election. This statement is made In the face of the fact that ex-Governor John H. Mc Graw, who resides with Mr. Piper In the Fourtfr Ward, is opposing the regular nominee. Governor McGraw is not fol lowed by any considerable number of Re publican workers, and his bolt will do comparatively little damage. The ex Governor's friends are non-plussed at his attitude, in. view of the experience he had with bolters in the gubernatorial election of 1892, when Nelson Bennett, of Tacoma, then National committeeman and propri etor of the Tacoma Ledger, actively sup ported H. J. Snively, the Democratic can didate for Governor. Tho-Thirty-fifth District, where W. G Potts is a candidate, Is Republican by 500 majority. Potts Is a young man In pol itics, but is a conservative business man. He is one of the original Preston men in -this county. It Is believed that he will vote against the' McBrlde measure, but his course, should Senator Preston be de feated, cannot be predicted. In the Thirty-sixth District, R. M. Klnnear, the Sen atorial nominee, will have 400 majority, and will vote against the commission measure. He has always opposed John L. Wilson to this county. In the Thirty-seventh District, E. B. Palmer, Senatorial nominee, will be saved by the overwhel ming Republican vote of the district He is a rabid Wilson man, and, as a member of the House In 1899, was one of two King County delegates to bolt the instructions of the county convention, which indorsed Mayor Humes for Senator. 'The Legislative Candidates. In the following list of Legislative can didates there are two who are outspoken ly favorable to . the McBrlde measure, namely. R. W. Jones and William H. Lewis, both residing In the Forty-seventh District: Fortieth Representative District Wes ley E. Brown, W. H. Clark and M. M. Morrill. Forty-first Representative District W. A. Carle, George W. Tlbbltts. Forty-second Representative District Edgar C. Ralne, Dr. C. S. Emery. Forty-third Representative District F. W. Comstock, Louis Levy. Forty-fourth Representative District James Weir, Irving T. Colt Forty-fifth Representative District George W. Dllllng, G. W. Jeffries. Forty-sixth . Representative District Charles S. Gleason, Joseph M. Lyons. Forty-seventh Representative District Reuben W. Jones. William H. Lewis. The county ticket from John Wooding, nominee for Sheriff, down to the candi date for Wreckmaster, will bo overwhel mingly victorious. The Democratic cam paign Is being conducted in a half-hearted manner. The Democratic managers are -up against a normal, Republican majority of upwards of 3000. Their sole hope is to try to elect Sheriff Cudihee, a popular official, but without sufficient strength to carry the load which he 1b under. END OP PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

More than 1300 missionaries -are commissioned and at work In the several synods of America. Seventy churches were organized last year. Communion was administered this after noon by tho fathers of the Oregon synod. 24 CENTS FOR HOPS. And tlie Onvner Would "ot Sell Choice Product Held. SALEM, Oct 12. CSpecial.) Harvey Colle, of Liberty, was yesterday ottered 21 cents per pound for his hop crop, but refused the offer. The hops are what may be called fancy goods. Dealers re port that most of the hops that are changing hands are only prime In qual ity, while the owners of choice hops are firm holders. The figure for prime hops Is 21 cents, while 23 and a little better is offered for choice. The Fink crop at Dal las and the Colle crop at Liberty are the only ones so far as learned that have re ceived offers better than 23" cents. ' How Marlon County Farms Sell. SALEM, Pet 12. (Special.) William Galr has sold his farm of S20 acres south of Salem for $10,000. The purchaser wa W. H. Gerbenhorst, a recent arrival from Webster County, Iowa. The stock and machinery on the place sold for $3000. This farm is generally known as the Frank C. Baker farm. Mr. Galr bought It three years ago, paying $10,000 for the farm .stock and machinery. He ha therefore cleared $3000 on the Investment, besides taking off three crops. This transaction shows something of the ad vance that has taken place in farm values to this section to the last three years. Growers Hold Their Hops. INDEPENDENCE. Oct 12. (Special;) The hop market here Is practically sta tionary and, as a rule, sampling is tho order of the day on the part of the hop buyers. There seems to be a decided opinion among the growers that prices will advance la a. few weeks, hence they hold on to the crop. CLARK COUNTY PRUNE CROP; About 150 Cars Produced Drying Season Closed. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct 12. Prune drying, which has been in full operation in this county during the past two weeks, is about finished. Owing to the short crpp, the drying season this year only lasted 10 to 20 days, about one-half- the time required to cure the crop to a good season. The output will he about 150 car loads, or about half a crop. The fruit generally Is of good quality, a large proportion grading out 30 to 40 to tho pound, bringing 4 cents In the mar ket The greater portion- of the crop is already sold, most of it going to Porter Bros, and the Kelly Clark packing-houses here, both of which commenced packing and shipping prunes last week.

CLAIMS IN SOUTH ERN OREGON. Klamath and Lake Coaatles the Geal S apply of Livery Hiss Ex hausted at Ashland. ASHLAND, Or., Oct 12. (Special.) The rush of timber land locators continues without abatement and the members seeking claims In the yellow and. sugar pine timber belt east of Ashland In creases. Twenty-five men arrived from the State of Iowa today, and 50 more, In cluding 10 women, are due on tomorrow's train from Muscatine, In that state, who will take claims to the Sprague River Val ley of Klamath County. Twelve four horse teams are engaged to transport the locators across the mountain divide to the scene of their proposed locations. It is expected that -more people will follow them.

Livery men are at their wits' end to supply transportation facil ities for those who are locating on these lands, and all kinds of teams and vehi cles are pressed Into service for the occa sion. ENGINEER CRUSHED TO DEATH. J. G. Jodon, Formerly of This City, Instantly Killed In Collision. SACRAMENTO, Oct 12. (Special.) Locomotive Engineer John G. Jodon, of Sacramento, formerly, of Portland, Or., was Instantly killed "in a railroad colli sion at Lakovlew, three miles east of Summit, on the Central Pacific line of the Southern Pacific road at 10:20 last night. Fireman John E. Cllne, who was with Engineer Jodon. was caught between, the engine andT"tender, and it was feared that he would be scalded to death by steam, but by almost superhuman efforts the trainmen succeeded In raising the tender and he was alive, though Insensi ble, when released. It . is hoped -that he will survive, The collision was caused by Engineer Jodon, of No. 206, which was east bound, overrunning his switch three car lengths Just as No. 207, west bound, was coming along the main line. Both were heavy freight trains, and, although they were running at a comparatively slow rate, the impact was terrible, the cab of the east-bound engine being crushed like an eggshell. As the west-bound engine struck the engineer's side of the east-bound en gine, Jodon was pinned between the mas sive machines and crused to death. It Is believed that he had time to realize the danger, and possibly could have saved himself by jumping from the engine, but that would have left the entire train to an inevitable fate, or still more disas--. trous collision and wreck, thus endanger ing the lives of all the trainmen. Like a brave man, Jodon stood by his post of duty, his hand upon the throttle, man fully doing his best- to check the speed of his train, when death called him. The idea that Engineer Jodon had used all his power to slacken the momentum of his engine Is borne out by the fact that aside from the smashing of the fore parts of the engines, very little damage was done. Only two freight cars were de railed, and the engines are tnot seriously damaged. Engineer Jodon reft a family living at 614 Fifteenth street; in this city,' and was extremely popular with his friends and companions. The Coroner of the locality of the col lision took charge of the remains of the dead engineer. (Engineer Jodon is a son of Mrs. Jodon, living on East Eighteenth street, this city. He resided at Sacramento, and wa3 in Portland last June on a visit to his family. He was well known here, and had many "friends -who will mourn hi tragic death.) TEMPEST IN M'MINNVILLE. Temperance Alliance. Alleges Sa- loons Violate Law. -M'MINNVILLE, Oct 12.-(Special.) The Temperance Alliance promises to make life interesting for both the saloons ahd the members of the City Council. The president of the Alliance has been collecting evidence against the saloons, as It Is an open secret that the saloons have been keeping open on Sundays and selling liquor to minors. The city ordinance pro vides that If any saloonkeeper shall sell liquor to a minor or keep open on Sundav, his license shall be revoked for one year Professor Rutherford, the president of the Alliance, having collected his evi dence, went before the Council last Tues day, in company with President Board man, and submitted it The Councllmen sat dumb, and the Mayor finally called for new business, nnd hntVi poMa Boardman and Professor Rutherford were compelled to leave. From personal Interviews, It is learned that Councllmen Harding, Newell, Rum mel and Burns are men of duty, and If they can be convinced that It Is their duty to revoke the licenses of the saloons, they will do so. Councilman Gee wants to reform the saloonkeepers by giving them another show, and Oonnrfimnn Jones wants to let them alone so lohg as the saloons pay their revenue. Four of the five saloons are said to have been "found open on Sunday and selling liquor to minors, and the other. It is said, was caught selling to a minor next day (Monday). J The charter does not provide any other method whereby saloonkeepers breaking the ordinance shall be punished. The Al liance intends to proceed against the sa loons, and also against the members nf Nthe Council, should they refuse to revoke the licenses of the offenders. A tho m-,, election Is near at hand, the matter prom ises to be very Interesting. Rev. George R. Cairns and the Blend singers, Mr. and Mrs. W. V.

Oct 12'. (Special.) Manager Wright, of the University of Oregon football team, Is having some difficulty in one or two instances to get his schedule of games ar ranged. Negotiations are still pending with the manager of the Pullman team for a game at Eugene. The matter was seemingly settled once, after a long series of letters, but when the contract was to be made, the Pullman man began to show signs of "cold feet" and wanted to make other arrangements. Manager Wright now offers him one of three dates Octo ber 31,' November 15, or November 22 and It is likely one will be accepted. On Octo ber 18, Albany College will meet the 'vars ity at Eugene, and on N6vember 8 the University of Oregon- boys will play the Agricultural College team at Corvallis. Whitman College will have her -men at Eugene on October 22 to try to sustain their victory of 1001. The university will meet Pacific University at Eugene either on Saturday, November 22, or on the Sat urday preceedlng. On Thanksgiving the University of Oregon eleven will meet Multnomah at Portland. The Portland Medicals are desirous of taking the 'vars ity men to Portland for a game on Mon day. November 11, and it is probable that their proposition will he "accepted. The Ashland Normal also wants to come to Eugene at some early date and play against the college men. The Ashland Normal has a strong team this year, and the game would not be such a snap for the Eugene team as has been .the case heretofore. Charles A. Redmond, former manager of the University of Oregon football team, has charge of the Ashland men this year, and unless his team was strong, he would not care to play with such a team as the university sustains. However, the schedule, if made out as given above, would be more than the University of Oregon men could stand; and, too, It is not likely that the athletic committee of the faculty would pass fa vorably on the entire list Horace McBrlde, a member of the 1001 football team at the .University of Ore gon," has been engaged to coach the Mc Mlnnville College eleven for this season. McBrlde played end on the Oregon Agri cultural College team for several years, and last season was a halfback on the Eugene team. He Is an aggressive player, and. will no doubt make a first class coach foa the McMinnville eleven. Xevf Sawmill at Astoria. ASTORIA, Oct 12. (Special.)

REIFF AND HENRY OUT. Paris Jockey Club "Withdraws Their Licenses Threw Races. PARIS, Oct. 12. Le Solr announces that the Jockey Club has withdrawn the licenses of the American jockeys Milton Henry and J. Reiff, excluding them from riding on any French race course. This action is an -outcome, says the paper, of a very careful investigation made by the detective department, which secured proof that Henry and Reiff upon several occasions have prevented favorites from winning. The owners of the horses In question are not parties to the transac tions. The detective parties are power less to Interfere with jockeys for such offenses, and therefore put the matter In the hands of the jockey club. Le Solr adds: "The decision of the jockey club will be welcomed by every one, and It is be lieved that It will put an end to the sus picion involving all American jockeys In France, among whom there are several very honest men. Today's action by the club will serve as a lesson to those jock eys who still frequent night saloons sur rounded by shady racing characters. "The only regret which might be asso ciated with this measure of the jockey club Is that we are to be deprived of two Incomparable artists who often gave spec tacles of palpitating- struggles, in which shrewdness and skill had repliced the brutal methods of former times." Milton Henry and J. Reiff have been the two most successful jockeys on the French race courses this season. Henry headed 'the list of winners. Not a day passed without his securing several wins and places. Reiff today got two first out Of four mounts at the Bois de nniilnrrno l while Henry got a first and two seconds out of five mounts. Reiff got a first and second at Malson Lafltte Friday, while Henry got two firsts and one second out of six mounts at the same meeting. PARIS, Oct 13. On the authority of a member of the jockey club, the Echo de Paris this morning confirms the state ment published In Le Solr yesterday that the jockey club had withdrawn the li censes of Relft and Henry.

New York Tribune. Critics of Secretary Hay's note on the Roumanian Jews persist with strange ob tuseness in regarding it as an altogether unprecedented thing. It is, they say, the flr.vt time this country has Invaded the domestic politics of Europe the first time it has imedd!ed with the domestic affairs of a European state. And some try to make out that It is an improper thing for tho United States to appeal for the ful fillment of a treaty to which It was not a party. It is not to be conceded that the note in question implies any such in vasion or meddling. But if it did that would be no new thing. Neither would such an appeal for fulfillment of a treaty of which the maker of the appeal was not a signatory be an unheard-of thing. For, as we have hitherto pointed out, this note In Its spirit and purport Is nr striking novelty, but Is merely the car rying on of a policy long ago established. We have before us a printed pamphlet of scholarly pretensions which refera to the Monroe Doctrlncas having been pro mulgated since the purchase of Alaska to 1867! For the persuasion if It be pos sible of those thus forgetful of plain history, it .may be well again to recall a few precedents. Sixty-two years ago there was gross maltreatment of Jews at Damascus.

We do not recall that the govern ment at Washington was then railed at for thrusting Itself Into continental poll tics. Again, in 1S72, Secretary Fish wrote to the United States Minister to Russia as follows: "It has been suggested to this depart ment, and the suggestion is concurred in, that if the sympathy which we entertain for the Inhumanly persecuted Hebrews to the Principalities of Moldavia and Wal- lachia were made known to the govern ment to which you are accredited. might quicken and encourage the effor of that government to discharge its as a protecting power,! pursuant to the obligations of the treaty between certain European states." Mr. Fish added that while the United. States was not a party to the treaty to question, he deemed It fitting to make the representations suggested, and he accord ingly Instructed the Minister at St Pet ersburg to communicate with the Rus sian .Minister for Foreign Affairs to that effect. That was not then regarded as a perilous interference in European af fairs. Yet the difference between Mr, Fish's action and Mr. Hay's Is one of degree rather than of kind. The perse- cuieo jews or Koumanla were the ob ject in both cases. Mr. Fish made appeal to a single European government, in voking the fulfillment of a treaty to which the United States was not a party. Secretary Hay has made such an appeal. Invoking such a .treaty, not to one but to all the signatory powers: His recent noto Is not an unprecedented novelty or a rash- new aeparture. The Three-Quarter Length. Coat. New York Sun. The subject of cloaks is an inexhausti ble one thl3 season, but the three-quarter length cloak is certainly winnimr mora favor than usual, and in light biscuit or 1 canana color is better liked by Parisians than the lone cloth cloak. Tt must' Vinw ever, be loose, "blowing, luxurious." Only tne J-.OU1S av coat among long close-fitting cloaks may really be called popular so far.
