I can assure him In ad vance that if he is the Republican nominee he will get the hardest run he ever re ceived in his life" Mr. WSilte relapsed Into an easy pose to smoke a cigar. He hadn't smoked very long until he exclaimed: "We've got the best party organization in this state better than .wo ever had be fore. Look at the men we had in com mittee today. Did you ever see a group of Democrats more thoroughly representative of the stat?' The sachem of the Democratic hosts then went into a reverie of thoughts mixed with the aroma of his -cigar. When he emerged he said: "I shall be on the fighting line during the campaign, And shall personally engage in mustering our forces. I'm going to take the stump and devote myself to work to the full extent of my powers. The Demo cratic party Is doing very well in Oregon. The conduct of its Legislators at Salem In the last scsrlon has awakened admira tion. On National issues the Democratic party is getting back to the sterling prin ciples of Its forefathers. Soon it will take a stand on commercial expansion and re moval of, tariff barriers in a way that can not be resisted." Iteamcs May Make the Race.

They -think their devotion will be rewarded by the election of a Democrat to succeed the late Mr. Tongue in Congress. Men at the Meeting:.

QuextloB of Primaries. The committee discussed at length the question whether delegates to the district convention should be chosen at primaries or by county central committees, and whether the district convention should in clude delegates to the state convention of last April from the Second District. J. J. Walton, of Lane, contended for primaries, and R. B. Montague, of Linn, favored letting the delegates to the last state convention from the Second District into the convention at Albany. In this way the usages of the party would be ob served. At the Instance of F. V. Holman the committee decided to hold only a First District convention at Albany. On motion of Mr. Holman the committee re solved to give county central committees discretionary power to elect delegates Itself or to call primaries. Apportionment of Delegates. Counties will be allowed one delegate In the Albany convention for every 150 votes or major fraction thereof, cast for J. IC Weatherford last June, who ran against Mr. Tongue. The apportionment of delegates in the convention at Albany, compared with the apportionment for counties of the First District In the state convention at Portland last April, is aa' follows: Dlst.

Execatlve Committee to Be Ap pointed. Jefferson Myers offered the following resolution for an executive committee of the First District and for management of the campaign by the state organization: "Resolved, That the state organization shall manage the campaign leading up to the special election in the First Congres sional District June 1, 1M3. "Resolved, Tliat the entire Democratic party In Oregon help with Its work and Influence to elect a Democratic Represen tative to Congress In said First District "Resolved. That an executive committee be elected by the district committee, to work with said state committee and that the chairman of the state committee be also chairman of said executive com mittee." To Meet In Albany. Albany won put as the place for holding the convention, by a majority of one vote. Two other cities were in the race, Eugene and Oregon City. Albany was nominated by R. B. Montague. Eugene by J. J. Walton and Oregon City by J. P. Lovett The committee then went into executive committee to audit bills of the last state campaign. The sum of money needed for the election In the First District will be at least $4000. Possible Candidates. The committee discussed possible candi dates only briefly. Judge J. W. Hamilton is looked upon as the strongest candidate the party could put up, but that gentle man haa declared emphatically that he could not possibly allow himself to be a sumpter for political burdens. The truth of the matter is that Judge Hamilton does not wish to make the sacrifice of going to Congress for only two years and of being kicked out into the cold world at the end of that time. Colonel "Bob" Mil ler, of Oregon City, is unwilling to sac rifice a good law practice for the honor of going to Congress for only two years. The political stock of William M. Kateer, of Salem, was at high fffcure yesterday. Sev eral members of the committee thought that next to Judge Hamilton, Mr. Kaiser would be the strongest man the party could put up. Mr. Kaiser would draw a heavy Catholic vote and. they figure, would be as popular if not more jeo, with the German vote than is Mr. Hermann. Mr. Kaiser has not been & "professional orace seeker," they say, and has never held office at alL He Is of middle age, a good talker, and an able campaigner. A. E. Ream eg, of Jacksonville, is also a great favorite. In Southern Oregon Hermann is stronger than anywhere in the State and Democrats believe that Reames could break into the Hermann stronghold there. Reames Is undoubtedly very popu lar in Southern Oregon. But one or two members of the commit tee from Southern Oregon did not bring very encouraging Information. They said tnat the Hermann strongholds were well fortified. Some Democrats might even be tempted to go to Hermann. Hermann might be a friend of the land-grabbing corporations and no doubt would be sup ported by the timber and landmarks, but he .posed as a friend of the homesteader. The. committee grimly realizes that It has a formidable Republican majority to go up against in tha district, of perhaps 4000 votes. JEFF MYERS LIICES POLITICS. He So Declares Then the Talk Drifts to'Stronc and Weak Candidates. "Br George, T like politics." exclaimed Jefferson Myers, suiting his enthusiasm with an emphatic duck of hia head. "By George, I like politics, and I'll take part as long as I live." R. ". SneH, a brother Democrat from Yamhill County, smiled sympathetically. ana .Mr. .Myers went on: "The only interest I have in politics Is to help make the Government better. No, I'm- not a candidate for Congress. I wouldn't try for the nomination at alL" But "you'd make a "very strong fight." interposed somebody. "Perhaps: but I'll let my friends think so, and I'll stay out." , "The "strongest man Republicans could put up ia Harris," remarked ..Mr. Snell. He s not been in politics, long enough to get Into entangling alliance." Who a weakest?" "Hermann." "NotBrownell?" "I don't regard him aa a possibility at alL And 111 venture to predict that Her mann will run 300 votes behind Tongue In Yamhill." Til bet." spoke ud Mr. Myers, "that he'd run 500 to 1000 votes behind Tongue in Marion." "Yes, and he'd run COO votes behind fn Yamhill," remarked Mr. Snell. on second tnought. "Me for Congress?" echoed Colonel Bob" Miller, a deen-dved Democrat of Oregon City. "No, I think not" "You d make a good run." said Repub lican d. M. Dunno, also a Colonel. xou must have kissed the cirl who kissed the blarney stone," returned Colo nel Miller. "There's nothing like belntr straight be tween friends," remarked Colonel Dunne. "That's right; I'm Irish, too. Come now; tell me, do you think I'd make a good run?" "Your responded Colonel Dunne. "You? Why, you'd last about as long as a snowball in Hades." 'You're not talking Irish this time: now you're Dutch." replied the Oregon City troioneL "Tell me straight would I win?" "I solemnly advise you not to run," re turned the Collector of Internal Revenue. and adjourned from the spot sine die. . I do not think," went on Colonel Miller soberly, "that under any circumstances I would accept the nomination, even if it were offered to me. I do not say abso lutely that I would not, because no wise man does that.- But, really, I do not see under what circumstances I could be a candidate." "Would you not be willing to sacrifice yourself for the party?" "I ve sacrificed myself for the party a good deal already. Before I was a mar ried man I did It all the time. But now I've settled down to a good law practice, which I do not think. In justice to myself and my family, I should give up." "In 1S33." continued the Colonel, "I went back to Washington. Before that time I thought to be elected to Congress a high honor. But I learned that a Congress man, though a big man In his own coun try, may be no bigger than the head coachman at Washington. If I had a certificate cf election right here in my pocket why, I don't know that I'd ac cept. After two years in Congress, what? I'd have to come back and begin where I had left off. If I had a fortune, say of $100,000, I might desire to enter the con test, but of I am I do not see that I could afford to do It." Colonel Miller returned to Oregon City last night. Railroad Brevitlea. Since Dorsey B. Smith has gone down to Ilwaco to superintend the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Company, Horace G-. Jen kins has become President Mohlers pri vate secretary. Mr. Smith Is expected to make a fine record In the management of the seacoast property. He has always taken a great interest in railroad opera tion. General Agent W. B. Jerome, of the New York Central lines, at Chicago, no tifies North Pacific Coast Agent Sea chrest that the meeting of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, will be held In Boston June 14-17, and an attendance of SOOO to 10,000 people is expected. Last year the New York Central carried 3000. Mr. Jerome Is himself "a. confirmed Chris tian Scientist and his road gets the pref erence with this line of travel. The Great Northern Railroad Is making quite a hit with Its double dally train service from St Paul to the Pacific Coast Ono train is called the Great Northern Flyer and the other the Puget Sound Ex press, and both are royally equipped. Two days and a half suffice for the flyer to make the trip, and it carries coaches seating S6 passengers each, all wide ves tlbuled, lighted with acetylene gas and heated with steam. The Great Northern owns its tourist sleeping cars. The pat ronage since the second through train was put on haa entirely justified the ven ture and proves the Great Northern a popular route. Sunset Magaiine. The March number of Sunset the South ern Pacific's monthly magazine, Is well calculated to make frostbitten Easterners long for the sunny land of California. The poster front cover, showing a comely girl picking California popples, is enough to do that, and the table of contents whets still sharper the appetite for sunshine and or anges. It ranges all the way from Italy to the Western rim of the continent, a pair of picturesque waterfalls being Ore gon's contribution to the interest of this number. It carries the usual departments. The splendid Illustrations that have made the magazine famous keep the March number fully up to standard. The period ical now carries a large lot of advertising, and It ought to be a paying Institution from direct business. The fine Indian poster, by Dixon, appears for the third time this month, the demand for It being still unsatisfied. PERSONAL MENTION. W. A.

FOR CLEAN BARBERSHOPS STATS BOARD OF EXAMINERS ADOPTS SEW RULES. Saaitary Conditions Hast Prevail and All Implements Mnst Be Carefully Sterilised. That the sanitary conditions In every, barber shop In Oregon may be .brought up" to the highest standard of cleanliness, new regulations were prepared at a meet ing last night of the State Board of Bar ber Examiners, acting in, conjunction with delegates from every barbers' . union in the state. Forty delegates from the local unioas in Salens, Astoria, Baker City. Pendleton, The Dalies and Albany were in attendance, while 20 members of the Portland union and the proprietors of half a dozen of the largest shops In Port land aided In preparing the regulations. Backed by the new law providing heavy penalties, the regulations of. the State. Board of Barber Examiners must be obeyed throughout the state. - The board will leave Monday, for a trip through Eastern Oregon, and copies of the new rules will be placed In every barber shop In their line of march. The convention of the board and the delegates from the barbers' unions had been arranged for next Sunday, but when the visit through Eastern Oregon was decided upon it was thought best to hold the meeting earlier, that copies of the resultant regulations, might be printed be fore the board left the. city. The board will be open for registration today and. tomorrow, and will then leave for an extensive trip through the Eastern part of the state. The new regulations adopted at the meeting last evening, at 2Sff Alder street, are far more strict than anything hither to attempted.

TRYING TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES. Leathervrerlcers Union Committee Coalers With Employers. The fifth day of the vacation ot the Leatherworkers" Union has passed with out any startling developments. The com mittee ot 11 which Is conferring with the managers of the different shops has bad very little vacation, however, and the end of lts labors Is not yet In sight. A list of prices upon some 200 pieces has been prepared, and the committee goes over each Item with eacht of the four managers with whom. It has conferred. This work Is about completed now and the next serious question will be the mini mum wage scale. The employers still de cline to discuss the question, but admit that this will be one 6t the most difficult points upon which an agreement can be reached. " Half a day of more has been occupied in going over the price. list with each em ployer, and'thls is naturally slow work. If every detail of the scale and the mini mum wage cannot be agreed upon by the union and the employers, there Is little doubt but that a strike will be declared before the end of the present week. Aid for Vancouver Strikers. The local branch of the United Brother hood of Railway Employes has already sent over 300 to aid the members of the order who are in the Vancouver, B. C, strike against the Canadian Pacific There are nearly 1000 members of the brother hood In Portland and each was assessed SO cents for this purpose Many of the members, however, contributed 55 and 510 to the cause and a much greater amount than was expected was sent from Port land. This Is In line with a general move ment wherever local branches of the order are found and If every local responded to the call as liberally as did the Portland branch. Local No. 4. the strikers will be well supplied. That a still greater amount may be raised a dance for this special purpose will be given by the brotherhood In this city on April 15. At the regular meeting last night President Jamison read a telegram from George Estes, the presi dent of the order, who is now in Van couver, contradicting the report that the clerks had returned to work. The strike on the Canadian Pacific has now extended to Winnipeg, where the gralnliandlers and clerks have walked out A committee from Journeymen Tailors Union No. 74 waited upon the Carpen ters' Union at its meeting last evening and called attention to the fight being made against the new tailors union, which, the union men say, is composed of "scabs. The carpenters pledged them selves not to patronize any shop display ing the card of the opposition union. Fif teen new members were initiated and four obligated at the meeting. The Electrical Workers' Union is pre paring a new set of bylaws, more clearly outlining the working code. The change has been contemplated for some time, and the union has had the matter before It for the past several meetings. At the meeting last night considerable progress was made, and the new bylaws will soon be In force. WRIGHT CANNOT SLEEP. Imprisoned Promoter -Too Sick to At ' tend Hearing;. NEW YORK, March 18.

Sober, technical ap preciation of the actual politico-commercial conditions could alone enable" Ger many successfully to negotiate treaties without economic convulsions. He Toole Smallpox to Church.
