"I shall be on the fighting line during

The gathering yesterday contained the
most faithful scions of Democracy, men
too proud of their heritage of patrimonial
principle to betray their party, too proud
even to sneak their faanSs feehled their

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'

The committee at first, favored one dele-
gate at large from each county, as In the
Republican district convention at Eugene
April 9, but, at the suggestion of Judge
Walton delegates at large were left out.
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.

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. While their provisions are
already in practical operation In first
class, shops, the proprietors and workmen
In shops, of the lower grade will be forced
to make many Innovations. The rules
will be submitted to the State Board of
Health for approval or correction.

lows: "Section L The place of business, to

be kept In a cleanly qondltlon.
"Sec 2. Every barber shop shall be pro

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.
