tTHB MOBNTNtG OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1905. WANT Tu B EE Candidates Desire to Es cape Primaries. FEAR MAYOR WILLIAMS Do Not Wish to Meet Him in First Battle. .WOULD RUN INDEPENDENT Soomers Evidently Dread Williams' Strength and Fear Democrats May Take Advantage of Di vided Republican Hosts. ed for its support -with the illustration of a. boy and his first jartcknife. Before learning the proper uao of the tool the boy had to cut his fingers a few times but eventually found Its proper use and this was typical of the new measure. Mr. Dunlway came back strong with the use of Mr. TTBen's argument that file amendment created a democracy which was not a representative gov ernment. The usual following discus sion by the members of the Forum showed Mr. Dunlway to be a minority of one and there was an apparent willingness in this discussion to drift away from the topic and Inject features which did not seem to be at all rele vant to the subject. THEY JOBBED OUAGEN. How to run against 'Williams for Mayor yet not to encounter him in the primaries is a problem with several Republican aspirants for that office. Boomers of such canaiaaies as Albee, Dr. Andrew C. Smith. George H. Howell, H. S. Howe. H. H. Northup. W. A. Storey and Fred T. Merrill are con cerned lest the opposition to "Williams may be so scattered that he will do them all up. Hence many boomers of those can didates think their men should Stay out of the primaries and run indepen dent, for they consider defeat at the primaries as a black eye for the elec tion. To keep other reform candidates than .Albee in the background, or rather to give them notice that Albee and not they would receive the -support of the reform element,.the Municipal Associa tion brought him forth early. Such was the explanation of a prominent member of that association yesterday. Williams Has Strong Hold. That "Williams has a strong hold on the Republican party is conceded by the Albee people, and many of them think it would be safer for Albee to try to beat "Williams In the election rather than In the primaries. They say that In the election their man would be aided by elements which could not rally to his support in the primaries because they dwell In th Democratic and Prohibition camps. With several candidates in the Re publican primaries splitting the oppos ition, the opinion seems to prevail in antI-"Wllllams circles that his honor" would walk off with the nomlnatlou And even If "Williams should have only one or two opponents in the primaries, his foes are anxious over the result, yet exhibit confidence In being able to beat him in the election. Chances for Democrat. "With one or two independent Republican candidates running against Williams In the election, the chances of the Democrat ic nominee would be much enhanced. For this the Democratic sachems are fondly hoping and they think there is good chance of Its coming to pass. Such a man at their head as Dr. Harry Lane, many of them think, would bring vic tory to their party out of a Republican fight, the same way as Pennoyer turned the trick on his Republican foes. A leader of the Municipal Association said yesterday that the backers of their candidate were divided in the opinion as to whether he should stay out of the primaries. "Some of our people," he re marked, "think we ought to work with Republicans to secure him the Republi can nomination, while others believe that we ought to go into It Independently. In my opinion the matter will drift along until after the primaries and then the advocates of the two methods will get together and nominate Albee as an In dependent." Rivals Are Reticent. All the Republican rivals of Williams as yet are reticent as to how they Intend to run. Albee says he has made up his mind but Is not ready to announce his decision. Dr. Andrew C. Smith says he has not decided whether he win run or not. Howell has not divulged his plans nor even publicly proclaimed his candi dacy; but Is known to be willing to run. Dr. Smith said yesterday that he did not know whether he would try for the May oralty or not. It was obvious from his remarks that he would like to run but for the sacrifice of his medical practice that election would entail. It is likely that Dr. Smith will not enter the race, though he has not said so. Strong Men Named. H. S. Rowe'ls understood to be the fa vorlte of leaders of the old-time Simon wing of the party: also H. II. Northup. The booms for each have assumed consid erable proportions. Judge Northup Is re garded as a particularly strong man for the contest against Williams. Both he and Williams have long party records. Little or no opposition has cropped out against Devlin for Auditor or Werleln for Treasurer, and Indications are that those officers will be renominated and re-elect cd. Devlin Is understood to be out of the race for Mayor, because unwilling to be an opponent of w.uiains. For Attorney and Judge. For City Attorney and Municipal Judge a number of Republican booms have been sounded. L. A. McNary will be a candl date for rcnomlnatlon for City Attorney. Others desirous of the Job or willing to run are: George W. Joseph, R. E. Moody J. M. Long, J. P. Kavanaugh, Paul Deady and K R. Dunlway. For Police Judge Harry Hogue appears in the running: also J. A. Strowbridgc, Jr., A. Walter Wolf. E. 'T. Taggart. T. B. McDevltt, Sr., George Cameron, A. B. Ferrera and J. J. Fitzgerald. A Vise New Yorker, Falls an Easy Victim to Jokers. Harry O'Hagen, who travels for a New York card "company, arrived at the Port land Saturday morning, and before the big bell in the tower chimed "buns and tea" he was the victim of a Joke. O'Ha gen likes the gallopers, and before the ink on the blotter was dry the telephone bell rang and he was summoned to the conversation machine by the clerk. When O'Hagen emerged from- the booth a smile as broad as the East River lit up his face. A voice, one which sounded as if it came from China, the voice of the Joker informed handsome Harry, as he is called, that the speaker was In Spo kane and that he had a real live one In the fourth race at Oakland. This gee-gee, so the voice purred Into O'Hagen'e ear, would win on the chin strap. He assured Harry that the mutt had the race won In a cakewalk, and that if he would cut loose from his habit of betting 510 to a race and get down hook, line and sinker, he would be able to sklddoo back to New York with enough money to create a panic among the Wells-Fargo Express Company employes. Several of OHagens friends were on hand to watch him swallow the bait. They saw he was hooked a-plenty, and the general talk drifted from the man who ought to be Oslcred to betting on the races. O'Hagen refused to tip off his secret, and he fretted and stewed until It came time for the curbstone brokers to line up for business. He dodged his friends and hailed the first handbook man ho saw. The horse he was told to play was Horatlus. With fingers that twitched and trembled like a gcoom be fore the altar he drew out two yellow bills calling for a hundred each. These he gave to the bookie, xnen ne tooK a street-car ride to Mount Tabor. When he came back the race was over that's the reason that Harry wired back to the house for another bank roll. He'll get his money back today when he meets those who Jobbed him. PEOPLE MUST ETLE COMPLAINTS Mount Tabor Justice Court Is Ready to Enforce the Cow Law. Justice of the Peace T. C. Shreve and Constable Frank Bowen, recently ap pointed for the Mount Tabor Court, are confronted with the enforcement of the cow law. The voters decided more than a year ago that cows should not be al lowed to run at large in that precinct. but the mandate of the people has never been effectively enforced for the reason mainly that there was no Justice Court to serve the warrants that might have been issued. Under this state of affairs cows have been permitted to run at large. There Is a considerable fine for allowing co we to wander in that precinct If the law be enforced, and with the advent of Spring, with growing grass, flowers and gardens, it Is now the general desire that the new court officers shall enforce the law.' However, it remains with the peo ple themselves whether the law shall be enforced or not. Justice Shreve says he will act on any complaint that may be filed in his court, but he doea not feel it his duty to run around and arrest people and cause the arrest of people allowing their cows to run at large. RAIN MESSES BALL GAME. Local ex-Leaguers Prevented From Giving Diamond- Exhibition. There was a generous sprinkling of local fans out to the "Vaughn-street ball grounds yesterday afternoon. They hud dled and sat around the old wjeck called a grandstand and waited with faltering hopes for the IS young men who were to sting the Spalding to appear. Some of the players did venture on the ground, but when they began to bog down they romped for the clubhouse. Next Sunday. if the weather man is on his good be havior, these same teams, the Schillera and the East Portlandcrs will, as the small baseballists say, "cross bats." When the dyed-in-the-wool fans found there was to be no game, they spent the rest of the afternoon at tho Fair grounds, One of the fans said that he might as well sec the grounds and what there was of the Exposition at this time, for when the ball season opened, that the nearest be would get to tho grounds would bo the bleachers. Mysterious Surveying Parties. WALLA WALLA, Wash., March IS. Two surveying parties of nine men each left this place today- for Athena and Pen dleton respectively, presumably sent out by the Northern Pacific to run lines in Eastern Oregon territory. No Informa tion will be given out by local officials, however, but It Is rumored that the party going to Athena will run a line across the Umatilla Indian Reservation through a rich farming country, and the party at Pendleton will run a line from there Into the Heppnor coal fields. It is believed hero that those lines will be built and ready for operation In time to handle this year's grain crap, although it Is utterly Impossible to induce any one connected with railroads to confirm or contradict this impression.

The attention of the People's Forum last night was taken up 'by the debate on the merits of the initiative and ref erendum question, with W. S. URen favoring it and B. R. Dunlway oppos ing. The speakers were each allowed ) minutes for opening arguments and an equal time for rebuttal. Mr. UBen laid his faith entirely on the good that the amendment had already accomplished and refrained from prophesying as to its future. Mr. Dunlway, following the opening of Mr. UBen. used to advan tage the statement made by his oppo nent that in the matter of politics there were a great number of toadstools, or in other words the men who voted without a thought, and that conse quently the Initiative and referendum gave to the minority a terrific power. which would eventually prove to be a veritable Frankenstein to its creator's. ,In his return argument Mr. UBen contended along the lines of & democ racy which would be created by the initiative and referendum and plead- 231 WASHINGTON STi Portland"" OREGON.
