10 THE MORNING OREG0XIAX, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1907. PUT REPUBLICANS ON I HEIR TICKET 'Scattering Votes of Democrats Nominate Five of the Op posing Party. 'OWN NOMINEES SHELVED AVerlcin, Kavanaugh, Cameron and 1 Dri&coil Nominees of Both Far- tics Merrill Finds llerth on f the Democratic Ballot. Mayor Harry Unf. i; City Auditor George I. Smith. City Treasurer J. E. Werleln. ' City Attorney John P. Kavanaugh. Municipal Judse Georce J. Cameron. Councilmen-at-Laree Robert Andrews, 1 J. Driscol! and Kred T. Merrill. This is not, as may bo thought at first glance, the attempt of some local prophet to forecast the probable result of the com ing election, but is the actual line-up of nominees who will comprise the Demo cratic city ticket, minus ward Councilmen. fiiy chwking up the scattering vote yes crday It was found that the Democratic electors at the primaries had seen fit to piaee upon tneir ticaet ive kppudiichiis, 'as well as to cast a large majority vote -In the mayoralty race for Dr. Harry lane, whose nume did not appear on the ballot. On the official Democratic ticket in the primaries there were no candidates for the offices of City Treasurer. City Attor ney and Municipal Judge, and only one, Jioberl Andrews, for Councilman-at-fLarpe. Naturally many of the voters billed In the blank spaces with names of "their friends or favorites for office and the ticket as given is the result of their k'holce. Although a great many of the Scattering -ntes were cast for individuals -in the Democratic ranks, not a .single nomination was made from that party, Either than thoso whose names appeared n the official ballot. As a result the jparty ticket will be something of a hy brid, and the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats may have some qualms of conscience If 'they "vote 'er straight," inasmuch as the '.party ticket bears the names of more Re publicans than Democrats. Merrill Wins Afler All. Perhaps the most peculiar feature of the Vlection was the nomination of Fred T. Merrill on the Democratic ticket. Mr. .IMerrill was a candidate for Councilman-et-Large on the Republican ticket, but finished in fifth' place. On' the Demo cratic ticket, how'ever. where his name did not appear, he had better luck. A '(perusal of the returns reveals tha fact that he got 'Jtf Democratic votes for this 'jiomlnation. being beaten only by M. J. Driscoll, with 27 votes, and Robert An drews, the regular party candidate. Others who received a number of votes tor the Democratic nomination for this .-rtnoitij.n unr- .T V HIMr. M ii Par- pons. 22; G. M. Hyland, 21, and George B. Cellars. 14. For the office of City Treasurer, Wer Uein received ST votes, the largest number tpolled for any office, with the exception of Dr. Dane and the regular candidates. IVerlein had a walkover for this nomi million on the Democratic ticket, as well has on the Republican, D. M. Watson coming next with three votes. For the Democratic nomination for City Attorney, 75 votes were cast in favor of iJ. P. Kavanaugh. who will be the repre sentative of both parties in the June election, an advantage that will tend to discourage anyone who might wish to run independently. William R. McUarry received T2t votes, ranking second on the Democratic ticket as well as on the Re publican. Frank Schlegel headed the list of Democrats for this office with 22 voles. Same Vote for Mayor. For the pos'tion of Municipal Judge, 'treorgc J. Cameron seemed to be a gen eral favorite. An even J oft votes were cast for him. while J. S. Winchester polled 40. J. Siivestone received "4, and Charles A. Petrain, a Democrat, followed with 17. in spite of the strenuous race for Mayor between I.anp and Thomas, the Repub lican candidates for this nomination were not entirely overlooked by the Democrats. iDevlln. the Republican nominee, received IS, Coffey 16. Kellaher 8 and Zimmerman -4. It is something of a coincidence that Itheir ranking was exactly the same upon rthe Democratic as upon the Republican 'ticket. In the race for Auditor, for which there was also a regular candidate, "Oscar P. Miller was given 27 votes, A. L. liarhur 17 and W. S. lotan 9. These returns are practically a com plete count of the scattering- vote. There .are a few precincts, however, which are toot included. In these the chairman ne glected to make a detailed account of Whc scattering vote, which is shown only .n the tally sheets. These are now sealed, hut will be opened for the official count, which takes place this morning. 0t is practically certain that no changes will be made by this in the Democratic ticket as here outlined, unless it be in he. nominees for Council men-at-T.arge. tir.fi there is no doubt that two Repub licans will be nominated for this office.

As I see the Eemoeratic situation. Otru ii. Thomas, chairman of Democratic County and City Central Committee is surely a political genius. Independent Republicans, who seem to be more interested in attempting to de stroy the Democratic organization than they are In maintaining "good government, have urged and insisted that Dr. Lane run as an Independent candidate. For some time Chairman Thomas had urged Dr. Dane to enter the Democratic primaries. He finally consented and wrote Mr. Thomas a letter in which he virtually ignored Democratic organization. This brought forth acute Democratic criticism, and also enthusiastic praise from the in dependent Republicans who registered last year as Democrats in order to vote for Tom M. Word in the primaries. This criticism from one faction, and praise from the other caused Dr; Dane to write a second letter withdrawing his name from further consideration as a Democratic candidate. In His withdrawal he "reserved the right to leave It to the supreme test of the peo ple" wiiich deprived the party of the pos sibility of having Dr. Dane as its candi date for Mayor. This created a division in the party, many Democrats openly de claring they would follow Dr. Dane as an independent candidate. At this point Mr. Thomas showed his political shrewdness and determined to frustrate the independ ent plan, whereupon he himself filed his Intention to enter the primaries as a ca nd (date for M ayor, and a ppealed to all Democrats who fa'ored Dr. Dane as the Democratic candidate to go to the polls and write in his name. Mr. Thom as also declared that he entered the pri maries only that Democracy might not be without a logical candidate." The ef fect of this was to check, if it does not tiwart, the independent "movement ftnd to force Dr. Lane's friends back into the organization, and compelled them to ten der him a Democratic nomination. The noble sentiments and Democratic fealty set forth by Chairman Thomas in his let ter in the Sunday Oregonian should ap peal to very Democrat to rally to his support for ilext:on" of the" whole Democratic ticket.

HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS - - - W. H. B. Kent, Forest Inspector, Gives Interesting Account of Some Government Regulations for Protection 'of National Forests. WH. B. Kent. Forest Inspector for ' district No. 6, comprising the states of Oregon and Washing ton and the territory of Alaska, was at the Oregon Hotel yesterday, where he talked about his branch of the Government service. The Forest Service is a bureau or the Agriculture Department, and Its official head Is Gifford Pinchot, Chief Forester. Mr. Kent said that the bureau is divided into six districts, which in clude Alaska and Porto Rico. "The word 'Forest Reserve" is no longer officially used," said Mr. Kent. "The term now used and authorized by an act of the last Congress, Is 'National Forests.' "At the last term of Congress the sum. of. 1500.000 was appropriated for permanent improvements, which "will consist mainly of telephone lines, trails and bridges. The object of the Gov ernment Is . to connect Its various forests with the outside world, so that quick and easy communication may be had with Its employes." Mr. Kent has just completed a tour of inspection of the Blue Mountain ranges, and is on his way to Tacoma, which is at present his headquarters, although after July next, his office will be removed permanently to Port land. "The principal work devolving upon me at this time of the year, said Mr. Kent, "is the allotment of mountain or Summer ranges to stockmen in eastern Oregon and Washington. Sheepmen are allowed to go upon Government ranges on June 15, and cattlemen on April 15 of each year, and both are required to leave the ranges by October 15, of the same year. "There is not much friction between sheepmen and cattlemen upon forest ranges, for the reason that each party has his specific allotment of range, and is" protected from encroachment by the Government. "Previous to raising the forest forest ranges, there was a wild, gen eral rush for the best mountain graz ing lands by stock owners, in which much good pasturage was run over and spoiled. Under regulations, each man now takes his time and knows Just where his Summer range will be." Asked what were his duties in Alaska, Mr. Kent said they related principally to the sale of Government timber to miners and others. He stated that it was the policy of the Government to sell timber in National Forests, when the depletion of timber did not interfere with the supply of water, where it was used in valleys for irrigation or other purposes. BW. JOHNSON, postmaster at 'cbr- vallls. was in Portland yesterday. Talking of the work of the State Ag ricultural College at that place, he said: "The school is doing a great work. It has over SOO students now and with in two years ther WJH he 2000 en rolled. The location Is Ideal for a college of this kind, and the benefits to the farmers have been many. - The station lias helped many of them in their search for diversified methods and their farms have become much mort profitable as a result. The "school Is so crowded now that not half of the students can get into the chapel, and they are working under great difficul ties. This will be overcome by the new buildings provided for In the ap propriation of the last legislature. We think Corvallis is one. of the best towns in Oregon. We have about 300 patriotic and industrious citizens and one of the best postoffice buildings in the state for a second-class office. I am trying to Tnake it a model office also in point of service." THE statement of the New York financier, John' W. Gates. that the West is now independent of Wall street is. to my mind, one of the grand est compliments to business energy and development on this Coast that could have been uttered," said J. W. Nicol, of Seattle, yesterday at the Perkins Hotel. Mr. Nicol at present is staying in Seattle, but has business interests in Fairbanks, and h j.s been in Alaska for nearly a decade. "Fairbanks." be said. "Is the new Dawson. Most of its merchants, gro cers, restaurant and saloon men moved from Dawson to the new camp. "The washings of gold in the Fair banks district this year." Mr. Nicol confidently asserted, "wnl be worth $15,000,000. Much of this money will be spent on this Coast. "One of Portland's greatest needs, as I view it." he added, "is a line of steamers direct to Valdez and Nome." COLONEL B, Judson, formerly edi tor of the American Lumber man, of Chicago, arrived in Portland yesterday morning, and is staying: at UNITED ON TICKET Republican Clubs Pledge Sup port to Nominees. CITY COMMITTEE FORMED Coffey Announces That He Will Work for Party Candidates and All Speakers Express Confi dence in the Campaign. Party harmony was the slogan at last night's joint session of the City Central Republican committee and the Union Re publican clubs, in the Selling-Hirseh 'Hall. The meeting developed into a. love feast, during which all factions voiced the com mon sentiment of unity in order to gain a Republican victory n June. Plans were laid for a thorough . organization, with which it is hoped to accomplish much dcr ing the time remaining before the elec tion. The city committee was organized by the election of Judge W. M. Cake chair man and J. W. Sherwood, secretary, offi cers of the county committee. After the election was finished a joint session with the Union Club was held. During the meeting M. J. Driscoll, can didate for .Councilman-at-Large. made a short talk in the interests of harmony, and made the statement that Mr. Coffey, candidate for the Mayoralty nomination, would heartily support the Republican ticket as nominated. This announcement was greeted with applause and served to further promote the good feeling that characterized the meeting. There were a number of speeches and the tenor of all of them wag that a Re publican Mayor will be elected in June. the Portland Hotel. Mr. Judson Is out to spend the Summer In the North west, and is accompanied by his wife and daughter. The American Lumberman was first established in .1873 a the Northwest ern Lumberman, and in 1899 It was merged with the Timberman and as sumed its present name. About a year ago, Mr. Judson sold his interest In the Lumberman to the present pro prietor. J. E. Defebaugh, for a good sum, and is now taking a long-needed rest from journalistic work. Mr. Judson will visit the large tim ber districts in Oregon and Washing ton this Summed and post himself as to the resources of the Pacific North west. "I expect to find numerous old frienls in Portland and the Sound cities, who have come put from. Wis consin end Michigan and located," said Mr. Judson yesterday. "And we mean to locate him in Port land if possible," chimed in an old Michigan friend, who is now a loyal Portlander. NATHANIEL K. CLARKE, clerk at Portland Hotel, does - not make a practice of propounding riddles, but oc casionally some incident in connection with his work suggests the foundation for a puzzle that requires far more time to solve than to state it. Such a case was presented yesterday, and the clerk with the biblical name puzzled not a few of his acquaintances. Here it Is: "There are two brothers in this hotel, and they are father and son to each other. How do you account for it?" On the face this puzzler has the "How Old Is Ann?" brain-agitator eclipsed, but the problem is easy enough when you know the answer. When the victim gave up. Mr. Clarke merely called his atten tion to the hotel register for the day. This record included the names of W. K. Brothers and W. E. Brothers, Jr.. father and son. of New York City. Therein lies the answer. , TEACHERS in this state are much 1 interested in two important edu cational meetings which will be held in July." said J. H. Ackerman. State Super intendent of Schools, at the Oregon last night. "The first of these meetings is that of the State Teachers' Association, and will be held at Salem, July 1-3, In clusive. Committees on arrangements and programme are hard at work, and have prepared what we consider will prove the best programme ever offered at the State Association, We are piso arousing considerable Interest in the Na tional Educational Association which will be held at Los Angeles, July 8-12. A great many Oregon teachers will take ad vantage of the reduced rates, and will at tend this meeting." Superintendent Ackerman leaves this morning for Fossil where he will con duct a local teachers1 institute. He will also address the teachers at Condon be fore returning. t PRANK MACMONN1ES, of New York Citi brother of Frederick MacMon nies, a sculptor of world-wide fame. Is registered at the Portland. Mr. MacMon nies is on his way to 'Paris, where he will consult with his brother on the details of the design for a public drinking foun tain that Is to be erected at Denver. "I came to Portland from Denver, "Where I have been conferring with the commit tees having charge of the proposed foun tain." said Mr. MacMonnles last night. "My brother has been employed to design this fountain, which will be iriuminated with electricity at night. It is his inten tion to make this product his master piece. It will be known as The Pioneers,' and will stand as a monument to the pro gress and development of the Western country. The fountain, which will cost $75,000, will occupy two blocks in the City Park, facing the State Capitol building. This fund has been provided in popular subscriptions by the people, of Denver. Two years will be required to erect the fountain, which the Denver people pro pose shall be the most imposing monu ment of that character in the West."

GOVERNMENT Mr. Hosmer's Peculiar View of Ma jority Kulc. S1LVERTON, Or., May 3. (To the Editor.) Thanks for publishing my ques tions and also for devoting so much valuable time In answering them in The Oregonian. But The Oregonian has shown the same domineering, under handed spirit in the answer that Mr. Roosevelt did in the words that I criti cised. The Oregonian is not to blame, and I am not condemning it. The Ore gonian belongs to, or at least symathizes with, that class of society that knows no other or better way than to take un fair advantage. Capitalism is built on that very principle. I am somewhat surprised that an attempt is made to answer my questions at all. But when I think how the world has moved up to-w-ard the freedom of the wage slaves in the last five years I rejoice that even the conservative Oregonian has been obliged to put out a feeler now and then and cater a little to the 'muddy-mnlded-' proletarians. 1 believe that in order to arouse public sentiment against Mr. Moyer et al. the President of the United States has called thejn "undesirable citizens," and The Oregonian for the same reason trie to Influence its Jury (your readers) in my case by calling me an athiest and a So cialist, and by putting these words to gether athlest and Socialist it is doing W'hat its class Is always doing trying to Influence the people against Socialism or any change that endangers the power of getting and holding the products of oth ers. What has my belief in a God or my unbelief to do with my questions? I wish to sav here in self defense that wnlle I do not believe In a man-like God, I do believe in God, if by that word I 'am understood to mean the spirit and power of love and righteousness in the world. If you have p better idea of God than this, I do not condemn you for it. nor will I use the fact to prejudice the Jury against you. As to being a Socialist, I plead guilty, and I believe that as soon as the other "muddy minded" common people find out what Socialism really is the capitalistic class will become much more uncommon than they are now. Then there will be no class to place one set of us "muddy minded" common cattle against another set. while the shrewd, clear-headed, un commonly smart set take from us the fruits of our labor. Because I do not believe in the little god, the man with a big stick, nor in the principles that he and his big inter ests represent, this is no sign that I am an athlcst. a fool, or that I am "muddy-minded." The Oregonian thinks that such questions ought not to be asked. But in this case thev show what I consider a fact, that, Mr. Roosevelt is working in the interests of those who have declared that Mr. Moyer will not leave Idaho alive, and they act very much as though they mean to carry out this threat whether he is guilty or not guilty. Thus our President Is using his position to down even the workingman who dares to oppose the present gigantic system of exploitation. The Oregonian's talk about those unfortunate men who have been penned up in prison for months being as Innocent as new-born babes, about Harry K. Thaw, and Its presumption that the prisoners are guilty because their , friends insist that they should be treated fairly, is, to say the least, very poor argument and shows that it is in the conspiracy with the mlneowners, Gooding and . President Roosevelt to ' do away with .these men who dared to insult the god of gold. Yes. under right condltions.it would be desirous to raise boys, for they would bring Joy to the home. But It is a ques tion with many "muddy minds" under these conditions which class you wish to perpetuate (especially as our President is in favor of Increasing the army and navy and seems to be a champion of wholesale murder): whether it would not be better to cease rropagating a while Don't Bolt Your FOOD A large n timber exhibit haste in eating; a. disposi tion to bolt their food. It is of utmost importance that one sbxrald eat sparingly, leisurely, and take time for digestion. The poor stomach must not be abused but given rime to convert the food, so that every meal will yield a store of building elements to the blood. WHEAT FLAKE ' CELERY contributes more nutriment to impoverished blood than any single article of diet known to man. Persons with rebellious stomachs can eat it with a sense of genuine relish. Palatable Nutrttieo cm tc sentt list, nt I at until It is safer for the innocent babies to land on this warlike planet. Is there, any redress save through a new government deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed? This Question Is a good one and was meant In the same sense as it Is stated in our Declaration of Independence. But The Oregonian dodges this by pretending to think that I do not believe In the rule of the majority. But the majority does not govern our country at present, and If not too "muddy-minded" you must ad mit that with the aid of their money and the tremendous power that their millions give them, our few captains of industry are making our laws and run ning our Government In their own and not in the Interests of the workers. I am also told that if we do not want Mr. Roosevelt for President, to vote for someone else, and personally I will take the advice. But your are fortunate in that you have been able to secure wealth enough to possess a great newspaper, and you have secured this because of the labor of the many "muddy-minded" workers who still trust you and who still bank on your judgment, and whom you are now helping to become more and more enslaved to the great corpora tions which labor has made possible to exist. The Oregonian is working for Its own Interest, and you think that in some way it is to the advantage of all. but it is a little "muddy-minded." made so by its position in this wage-slave system. Bloody war may be necessary in order to make3 the change, although we hope not, and In our "muddy-minded" way we are working to teach the principles of eo-operation. so that when the ex ploited can no longer live under the system of competition which is proving a. failure, they can establish the "Co operative Commonwealth" without the shedding of blood. When thip happy day comes, and equality of opportunity is given to the little ones who land on our shores, we might accept the advice of our Chief Executive to be more pro ductive. Mut if "war is hell"- (competi tion is civil war) it is a sin for the poor to raise any more boys or girls, if they can help it. till the war Is over. When nature and nature's god is wor shiped, when the interests of the people are the "big interests." when the ma jority has the opportunity to rule, when our officers and our newspapers are de sirable servants of the producers of wealth then will sons and daughters bring joy to our homes. Uien will they give fathers and mothers something to live for besides selfishness and pleasure. Then will we be truly a happy, united, independent people, and then will we have a Government of the people and for the people, deriving Its Just powers from the consent of the governed. I am for a revolution with the aid ofthe ballot. J. E.- HOSMER.( It is somewhat reassuring to learn that Mr. Hosmer is a believer in revolution with the aid of the ballot, as he asserts at the close of his rather rambling letter. But from his remarks in the body of the letter one might well doubt whether lie has much hope of success through the power of the ballot. He says, for ex ample, that "with the aid of their money and the tremendous power that their millions give them our few captains of Industry are making our laws and run ning our Government In their own and not in the interests of the workers." At the same time he roundly condemns President Roosevelt, the first President who tried to bring the captains of in dustry to terms so far as it lay in the power of the executive department. He professes to 1 believe in the rule of tre majority, yet denounces the National Ad ministration, which was placed in power by the largest majority in American his tory". He frankly declares his intention to vote for someone else at the next elec tion, but gives his readers no encourage ment to believe that he' will be better satisfied with the next Administration than with this If the man of- his choice should be elected. He declares that the majority does not rule at present. If the majority does not rule after so over whelming a victory as that recorded in the last election, it is difficult to con ceive of a condition In which it could rule. When a tremendous majority of the people of this country is demanding that Roosevelt shall be a candidate for re-election In order that his policies may be carried out, Mr. Hosmer is almost placing himself shoulder to shoulder with the detested "captains of Industry," for his desire for the overthrow of the Presi dent is apparently as great as, theirs. Mr. Hosmer's Idea of majority rule evi dently Is that the Government is being conducted in the interests of the peopie If he approves it; otherwise it is a. tool of "big interests."

AReed-French Is a REAL Piano Bargain Our little ads in Friday and Saturday, paprrs. telling about some good used pianos that were for sale for little money, meant something to Mr. Henry G. Wright, at least. This gentleman has been on the lookout for a food standard piano for some time, and while there are many used pianos advertised, when it comes to running them down they are usually worn out or very old-fashioned. Mr. 'Vri?h( selected a Fischer Piano which we had marked for $225. This same piano is worth in any retail store twice this amount. This instrument. .for all practical uses, will last Mr. Wright as long as the same piano if bought brand new. We have a number of other piano bargains which we offer at equally close figures.

The blood is filled with impurities and germs which are being- constantly fed into the place through the circulation, until all the surrounding flesh becomes diseased and the sore an obstinate and permanent trouble. Every symptom of an old ulcer suggests pollution ; the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that the ulcer is prevented from healing by the constant drainage through it of impurities from the blood. This impure condition of the blood may be hereditary, or it may be the remains of some constitutional disease, or the effects of a long spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of the refuse of the body which has not been properly expelled through the natural channels. But whatever the cause, the blood is so weakened and polluted that it does not properly nourish and stimulate the place, and the sore cannot heal. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., keep the sore or ulcer clean, relieve pain, and perhaps reduce inflammation, but can never permanently heal them because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down to the very fountain-head of the trouble, drives out all poisons and germs, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength to the system, and by sending a fresh, healthy stream of blood to the diseased parts, allows the ulcer to heal naturally and permanently. Nothing reaches inherited taints like S. S. S. It cleanses the circulation of every trace of hereditary disease or impurity, and those who have nursed and treated an old sore for years will experience good results as soon as the system becomes influenced by S.
