There is strong- evidence of the political
situation in the ract that there is $10,000,
or any part of It, offered on the election
of Wlthycombe and Stevens, without any
one ready to take bets.. Odds of two to
one are offered that Wilhycombe will be
elected. Only one bet has been made, so
far as can be learned, and that was a
J500 bet that Stevens would carry Mult
nomah County by 1000 plurality. Money
is up In nearly all the leading cigar
stores, having been placed there by men
who watch the trend of public opinion
and like to back their judgment on re
sults. Capt. E. W. Spencer and J. H.
Peterson are the men who have put up
most of the money now in sight. They
are both men who bet according to their
judgment, and not upon their sentiments,
o the standing offers Indicate the opin
ions of those who study the situation
from an unprejudiced standpoint.
Confident Wlthycombe Will Win.
Confidence In the election of Withy
combo Is based upon a number of sig
nificant facts. Four years ago Chamber
lain carried the state by 246 over Fur
nish, the Republican nominee. Since that
time the population of the state has
grown and It Is admitted even by lead
ing Democrats, that the normal Repub
lican plurality has thereby been increased
S000 votes. . It is believed that Repub
licans who have recently come to Oregon
will vote their party ticket straight.
Four years ago the normal Republican
plurality was about 13.000. Since that time
many young men have become of voting
age and they have nearly all gone Into
the Republican party. In the Presiden
tial election of 1904 thousands of Demo
crats voted for Roosevelt. The Repub
lican plurality In that election was over
40,000. Is'o one pretends that this was a
normal Republican plurality, but It Is be
lieved that a great many of the Demo
crats who voted for Roosevelt made that
the end of their affiliation with the Demo
cratic party and that hereafter they will
vote the Republican ticket. Counting the
Republican voters who have come Into
the state In the past four years, the
young men who have come of voting age
in the past four years, and the Demo
crats who have come over to the Repub
lican party to stay,' it is safe to estimate
that the normal Republican plurality Is
now .25.000, or 10.000 more than it was
when Chamberlain carried the state by
240.
Will Get Party Vote.
Again, four years ago Chamberlain ran
gains a banker who suffered from the
prejudice that exists among farmers and
laboring men generally against bankers.
Now Chamberlain Is running against a
farmer, a man who has a large and favor
able acquaintance among the farmers and
working people of Oregon. The Repub
lican nominee will get nearly his full
party vote In the farming sections.
Four years ago the Republican nominee
was but recently a Democrat. This fact
caused considerable disaffection and
caused Mr. Furnish the loss of many Re
publican votes. This year the Repub
lican nominee is a man who has been
voting the Republican ticket ever since
lie came of age. There will be no objec
tion to him upon this score, and Cham
berlain has not an advantage in this re
spect as he had before.
Four years ago the Republican party
was torn asunder by factionalism, and
there were hundreds of Republicans who
were openly against the Republican
nominee because he had been nominated
by one of the factions. . There was or
ganized opposition to the Republican
nominee within the Republican party.
This year the Republican candidates were
nominated in a direct primary, and fac
tional lines did not enter Into the con
test in the least. Men of all factions are
, supporting Wlthycombe. Chamberlain
has lost this adavntage.
Democrats Against Chamberlain.
Four years ago Chamberlain had the
Support of a united Democratic party.
This sear he not only has the open op
position of a number of prominent Demo
crats, but there are hundreds of Demo
crats who were shouting for him four
years ago who. are now keeping quiet
and who will go to the polls next Mon
day and quietly vote for the Republican
nominee. Letters that have been writ
ten by Democrats in every part of the
state show that the dissatisfaction with
Chamberlain is not confined to any one
locality, but Is widespread.
On the other hand. a part of this
change In the situation Is .balanced by
the fact that Chamberlain has served
four years as Governor and has had the
' publicity that conies to the incumbent of
that position. He has made an extensive
acquaintance that will get him some Re
publican votes. That Chamberlain will
run ahead of his ticket, everybody ad
mits, but in view of the many changes
that have taken place to the advantage
of the Republican nominee and to the
disadvantage of the Democratic candi
date, it is believed by Republicans that
Wlthycombe's election is certain. Demo
crats show their opinion by admitting
that they are "up against a hard propo
sition." Defeat for Tom Word.
The fight over the Sheriff's office
shows a very important change In condi
tions in the last two years. Word ran
the first time against a Republican and
FOR
WllYCMB
two independents, who drew a total of
about 4600 votes from the Republican
candidate. This time there are no inde
pendent candidates and the Republican
nominee will have this advantage, as
well as the advantage of having no fac
tional fight within his own party to con
tend against.
It Is upon these considerations that ob
serving men who Understand political af
fairs are willing to bet their money, but
can find no takers.
MAKES -WORD CAMPAIGN.
Henry E. McGinn Asks for Re-Election
of the Sheriff.
Henry E. McGinn appeared In a new
role last night when he began a street
corner stump-speaking campaign for the
re-election of Tom Word for Sheriff. Mc
Ginn announced that he was a Republi
can and was supporting the entire Re
publican ticket with the exception of
Stevens. He based his support of Word
upon the record the Democratic incum
bent of the Sheriff's office has made in
the enforcement of law in Portland In the
past two years. He declared that Word
was elected upon a pledge to enforce the
laws and he has kept his promises to tne
letter. He reviewed the strenuous con
flict with the gambling-houses, "ending in
the gambling-houses being closed and
kept closed, and said that grocerymen,
clothing dealers and real estate dealers
would testify that as a result legitimate
trade has been increased and bills had
been more easily collectible tnan ever be
fore. He emphasized the fact that visit
ors to the Lewis and Clark fair were not
fleeced by bunco men and gamblers, and
said that if the people of Portland ap
proved of such an administration as that
of Word they should say so by voting for
blm on June 4.
McGinn delivered three speeches on the
street corners last evening, speaking from
a carriage in which he drove frofn place
to place.
BIG RALLY ST ST. J
REPUBLICAN SPEECHES AROUSE
MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
Judge Webster, Dan J. Malarkey,
R. L. Stevens, Nathan Bird and
Willis S. Dunlway Talk.
Several hundred voters attended a
rousing open-air Republican meeting
at St. Johns last evening. Practically
the whole town turned out to hear the
speakers who went from this city to
make addresses and they evidenced
their appreciation by frequent ap
plause and cheers. The St. Johns Band
furnished music for the occasion.
Judge Webster and Dan J. Malarkey
were the principal speakers. They de
voted their remarks to a refutation of
the pemocratie argument of nonparti
sanship In the present contest. The
burden of their argument was that
under the direct-primary law any Re
publican who had participated in his
party primaries had thereby morally
bound himself to support the candi
dates named by his party. Judge Web
ster also reviewed the merits of the op
posing candidates on both the state
and county tickets and ended in a
rousing: appeal for a full Republican
vote for Dr. Wlthycombe and R. L.
Stevens, nominee for Sheriff, against
whom the Democrats are concentrating
their forces through the nonpartlsan
shlp plea.
Dan Malarkey made a characteristic
speech, abounding In witty remarks. He
took his audience by storm by his hu
morous allusion to the "wheedling
wail of Democracy that politics are not
at all involved in the coming elec
tion." Candidate Stevens was next intro
duced. He took occasion to deny the
claims of his opponents that he was a
candidate of the banking interests. He
reiterated the policy which he an
nounced before the primaries that he
would pursue were he elected. Stevens
said he would not stand for an open
town and that he would guarantee a
clean, business-like administration of
the office of Sheriff. The candidate was
given a great ovation at the conclusion
of his remarks and the audience ap
peared deeply impressed when Nathan
Bird, defeated candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for Sheriff, took the
platform immediately afterward and
pledged his hearty support to Stevens
and the whole Republican ticket.
Willis S. Dunlway, candidate for
Ptate Printer, was the last speaker.
He had but three minutes, but into this
short time he crowded a group of
forceful and pertinent facts. The speak
er said he had Just returned from a
tour of the state with Dr. Wlthycombe
and he raised a laugh when he recount
ed an Incident which had come to his
attention In Eastern, Oregon where
the Democrats were pressing the non
partisanship plea. Mr. Dunlway said:
"After a stirring: Democratic rally
where every speaker had carefully re
frained mentioning the word Democrat
which had been so dear to the founders

banquet hall. When all were seated
and they thought the windows tightly
close which they were not, and that
is how the story drifted out to hostile
ears the leader raised his glass and
said: 'Now, boys, we have had enough
of this nonpartisanshlp talk. It's a good
vote getter, but it also gets tiresome.
Let's have a little of the good old
Democracy here by ourselves which is

Four years ago, when the Republican
nominee for Governor had organized Re

nominee has no open opposition in his
own party, while the Democrats are di

united support of his party. Those who

HAS NOT INDORSED WORD
Travelers' Protective Association
Takes No Political Action.
PORTLAND. May 28. (To the Editor.)
In order to correct a misapprehension re
garding the status of the Travelers' Pro
tective Association N regarding political
matters. I desire to state that the T. P.
A. has not Indorsed Tom Word for Sheriff
of Multnomah County. The organization
has taken no action whatever in the In
dorsement of any candidate. The T. P.
A. includes in its members, many Repub
licans who prefer to vote the Republican
ticket, and an Indorsement of a Demo
cratic candidate would naturally be unfair
to them. For that reason the T. P. A.,
as an organization, is taking no part in
political matters. A. A. COOK.

Report on the Greek Letter
Societies.
STUDENTS MAY STILL JOIN
Fraternities and Sororities, However.
Are Not to Be Recognized in the
Cardinal Charters Ordered
From High School.
Fraternity and sorority members among
the Portland High School students will
breathe easier today, for the Board of
Education, at Its meeting last night, de
cided that no effort would be made to pre
vent them from affiliating with the Greek
letter societies. The action was taken in
the form of the indorsement of a report
returned by Frank Rigler, superintendent
of schools; T. T. Davis, principal of the
High School; and D. A. Grout, principal
elect of the new East Side High School,
who constitute a committee which has
made an investigation of the fraternittes
and sororities at the instigation of the
board.
The report is not altogether favorable
to the societies, however, as it provides
that hereafter those organizations shall
receive no recognition as a part or an
adjunct of school life. Principal Davis
has ordered that no space be devoted to
them in the High School publication. The
Cardinal, and he will also order the re
moval of their charters, which are at
present deposited in the High School
building. "We do not believe that such
organizations serve any very useful pur
pose in school life," says the report.
Superintendent Rigler's Statement.
In presenting the report Superintendent
Rigler said that the committee had made
a thorough investigation of the four so
cieties which have High School members.
They had called representatives from each
organization before them and had ques
tioned them closely, and had also in
quired concerning them among the teach
ers. An opportunity was given other stu
dents to state objections held against the
societies and three responses were re
ceived. It was found that 30 students of the
Hieh Scnool are associated with the so
cieties, but that, so far as could be deter
mined, they did not attempt to use their
influence In school elections, and that in
general the standing of the members in
their classes was good. None of the
teachers who testified before the commit
tee thought tha attendance at fraternities
and sororities had an unfavorable in
fluence upon the character or conduct of
the students.
Text of Report.
The report follows:
To the Board of Directors, School District No.
1, Multnomah County, Oresron: '
The committee to whom was assigned the
tak of investigating- the fraternities and so
rorities connected with the High School of
this city begs leave to report as follows:
"We find that two fraternities and two soror
ities include among: their members a total
of 39 High School students. Committees from
each of these organizations appeared before
us and we Include in our report a summary
of their statements respecting the purpose and
conduct of their organizations.
First The PI Delta Kappa Is a fraternity
having' two chapters in this city. One re
cruits its membership from the Portland Acad
emy and the other from the High School.
The latter includes among Its members seven
young men who are at present High 8chool
students. They invite applications from such
students as they believe will be congenial
comrades and loyal to the purposes of their
organization. No race and no religion is
barred. Members who are students are ex
horted to be diligent In their studies and cor
rect in their deportment, in order that the
good name of the fraternity may not suffer.
At their chapter meetings neither the rules
of the school board nor the regulations of the
faculty have ever been subjects of discus
sion. The fraternity favors the Lee resolu
tions recently adopted by the high school sec
tion of the State Teachers Association of
California as follows:
(a) No fraternity charters shall be hung
upon the walls of schoolrooms.
(b) No notices of fraternities shall appear
In school papers.
(c) Teachers shall not be members of fra
ternities. d) Students shall not be pledged to mem
bership in fraternities earlier than the third
year of their course.
Second The Gamma Bta Kappa. This fra
ternity Is a social organization formed for the
improvement of ita members. Students of any
secondary school in this city are eligible to
membership. No race or religion is barred.
At present seven members are students of the
High School. Student .members ar.e reauired
to bring their report cards to chapter meet
lncs. When such cards show lack of dili
gence, steps are taken to raise the member's
standing. There has never been any discus-
feature, the unveiling ceremonies will be
very impressive and interesting and add
to preserve the sacred memory of the
great day.

Third The Omega Nu. This sorority num
bers among its members 13 young ladles who
are students of the Hlgrh School. No person
is eligible who has not at some time been a
High School student. In selecting members,
they Insist on good morals, good manners and
fair scholarship. No race or religion is
barred. Twenty-seven of their members are
High School graduates, 11 of them having at
tained the rank; of first-honor pupils. They
have never discussed in chapter meeting any
rules of the board or regulations of the fac
ulty. As Individuals, they have striven to
Influence favorably the discipline of the school
and have not sought to control elections held
by- the student body.
Fourtli The Delta Iota Chi. Thie sorority
has 12 members In school. It la a social or
ganisation for the amusement and Improvement
of Its members. Only High School students
are eligible. No race or religion Is barred.
It does not bother with school elections and
has never discussed the rules of the board
or the regulations of the faculty. The so
ciety has Improved the scholarship and man
ners of many of its members, because perfect
freedom of criticism is permitted.
Your committee next examined the High
School teachers to learn what effect, if any,
the existence of fraternities and sororities
has on the discipline of the school. Little
information could be obtained. One teacher
cited an instance of a refractory student who
was admonished and reformed by members of
the sorority to which she was pledged. An
other told of a girl who neglected her les
sons because of her too diligent cultivation
of sorority members. No teacher knew of
any attempt of fraternities or sororities to
Interfere with the discipline or management
of. the school, nor were any able to say that
the attendance of High School students at
chapter meetings influenced in any unfavor
able way their character or conduct as stu
dents. The committee next Invited to appear before
It any students of the High School who are
opposed to fraternities and sororities and could
testify to their bad Influence. In response
to this invitation three students appeared. One
of them testified that his literary society con
sists of 84 members, two or three of whom are
members of fraternities; that these are among
the least desirable of the members, frequent
ly refusing to perform the literary duties as
signed them. On one occasion a movement
to expel one of these delinquents was strongly
opposed by another fraternity man.
Another student testified that the manage
ment of the baseball team Is unfavorably af
fected by fraternity Influence, members of
fraternities having been assigned positions
which they are unable to All creditably.
It was also stated that some students neglect
their former friends In order to cultivate
members of fraternities, hoping by this means
to receive Invitations to join.
Tour committee, having carefully considered
the above evidence, 1b of the opinion that
membership In a fraternity or sorority Is not
sufficient ground to warrant the suspension
of a student from school. Nevertheless, we
do not believe that such organizations serve
any very useful purpose In student life, and
we advise that they be denied all recognition
either as a part or an adjunct of our school
system.
The only circumstances now existing that
bear any color of such recognition are: First
Considerable space Is sometimes given to them
In the school paper. Second Their charters
are deposited in a storeroom of the High
School building. Principal Davis has in
formed us that he will refuse longer to be
custodian of the charters, and that he will
direct the management of "The Cardinal" to
exclude all fraternity and sorority not est

Foundation Badly Constructed.
H. Wittenberg: reported to the board
that the foundation partly laid for the
addition to the Sunnyslde School wag con
structed so poorly that it had been found
necessary to tear it away. ' The walls,
he said, were out of plumb, and that It
was in every way a poor job. He assert
ed that the mortar used had no adhesive
ness and crumbled away at a touch. The
matter was left in charge of the build
ing: committee to Investigate,
Bids for an eigrht-room schoolhouse for
Midway were considered, and all were
rejected. The lowest was made by W.
B. Steele for $17,719. It was then voted
to call for new bids for a four-room
building-, as a majority of the members
thoug-ht that It would answer the needs
of the community for from three to five
years to come- Mr. "Wittenberg- argued
in favor of the eight-room building. He
was opposed by Mr. Beach, who finally
carried the motion favoring the smaller
schoolhouse.
Only one bid was received for the heat
ing apparatus for the East Side High
School. It came from W. G. McFherson
& Co., providing hot-air heat and venti
lation for $16,450. It was voted to post
pone action In hope that more bids
should be received. Mr. McPherson, who
was present at the meteing had a spirit
ed discussion with Richard Williams, a
member of the board, in regard to the
efficacy of hot-air furnaces as opposed
to steam heaters.
The resignation of E. A. Milner as
principal of the Woodlawn School, was
accepted, and the appointment of T. E.
Newhill to succeed him, made by Su

ADOPT AN OREGON IDEA
School Children Write Essays In Be
half of Greater Pittsburg.
Smiles and frowns struggled for mas
tery on the face of Tom Richardson, man
ager of the Commercial Club, yesterday
afternoon, when he received a compli
mentary Tiersonal letter from Dr. Nathan
C. Schaefler, president of tlM National
Educational Association and head of the
department of public Instruction in Penn
sylvania, In which the following para
graph occurred:
"Your $5000 prize offer to the teachers
of America is now being followed by the
advocates of Greater Pittsburg. They are
getting the school children of Allegheny
to write essays upon the advantages of
the consolidation of Allegheny with Pitts
burg. It takes Western men to Invent
ways for spreading an Idea. If you keep
on. the Oregon idea will take possession
of our people, and they will eo in swarms
to the Pacific Coast, in Bpite of earth
quakes and the attendant dangers."
"I suppose it will take us a thousand
years to tell our Eastern friends that
Portland has never had an earthquake
shock hard enough to crack an' egg," he
remarked. And then the smiles triumphed.
"But you will notice that the doctor said
'Pacific Coast.' "
Venvllle's Grave Will Be Decorated.
The grave in the southwest corner o(
the Milwaukie Cemetery, where the body
of D. G. A. "Venville, Sellwood's naval
hero, was buried, will be decorated to-
morrow, along with the other graves of
soldiers in this little cemetery. In this
little plat stands the monument in his
memory erected by money raised by the
people of Portland. It was erected and
dedicated before his fate was known.
Venville was captured by the natives in
Baler Bay, in the Philippines, with Cap
tain Gilmore's party, who went ashore
in a launch, and at the time was badly
wounded. Captain Gilmore's story, pub
lished after he escaped and returned to
the United States, speaks of Arthur Ven
vllle's great bravery under fire. All the
Gllmore party finally escaped except this
boy, and for a year he remained a pris
oner among the natives, being carried
from one place to another, although con
stantly pursued by a detachment of the
American troops.
He was finally treacherously murdered
February 20. 1900, when on the point of
being rescued by the troops. During all
this time his mother, Mrs. Mash, then re
siding at Sellwood, suffered constant sus
pense. His body was returned to Port
land for burial after all hopes of ever
hearing from him had been exhausted.
Though not living In Portland, the boy's
mother usually visits the grave of her
son every Memorial Day.
