PORTLAND, April 16 (To th Kdltor On rturnlnc bora today I found an art ful lltrr from O. V. Hoditon. camlMat for State Senator on th so-called "Hodson-Batly-Bpach-Rd" HckM. addrwwd to a a resident of Precinct 8. The ltter said that Max G. Cohen "ha Precinct No. 8 all laid out tn block, and has a Yaptaln' wh looks out for you to see that you vote rlffht"; alo that Mr. Cohen carried the prcinct for revtln a ynar aro by lrr majority, by work in at the poll In place lt day, and that this year he exjxvts to carry the Mine precinct for Tr. Emmet Drake and E- B. Col well, for State Sena tore. "PoesiMy you are not aware," says the letter, "that Max O. Cohen In m ana tin your political affairs In Precinct 8." I would like Mr. Hodon to Inform me what object he has In wrltlnr a letter of this character to the voters of Precinct 8. Is t his desire to belittle the candidacy of Dr. Emmet Drake and K. H. Colwell. who are candidates for the same office to which Mr. Hodson aspires? If this Is his object It strikes me this is very small politics. He belnn a candidate himself he should at least have frottn one of his many hlrellnra to have strned thts letter. In the first place, the statements are not true. Max O. Cohen w-as advocating; the candidacy of Loule Zimmerman at the last primary and did all In his power to defeat T. C. Devlin for the nomination. At the rneral election whatever effort Mr. Cohen exerted for T. C. Devlin was done In Precinct No. 10 and he was not at the polls at all during; the day except to vote. Although Precinct No. 8 was larrely Republican Mr. Devlin only carried it by a small majority. These facts are familiar to every voter In Precinct No. 8. and If Mr. Hod son expects to rain any votes for himself and associates In thl- pYrclnct he will have to sticJc a l.ttle closer to the truth. I presume he will try some other deceptive scheme in other precincts to belittle the candidacy of Dr. Drake and Mr. Colwell. I think that ns a campaJjrn manacer Mr. Cohen will measure up favorably with P. E. Reed. Mr. Hod son's manager, who la at present lining- up the North End for Mr. Hodson's ticket. In conclusion. I desire to say that I am the committeeman for Precinct 8 and a member of the executive committee repre senting the entire Second Ward and otig-ht to know somethlnr about who is nmnarlnf campalpna In Precinct 8. W. M. DAVIS. PATRICK POWERS IS DEAD Well-Known Democratic Politician Passes Away After Brief nincss. Patrick Powers, an Oreano pioneer of liSfi. died at his home at 1008 Haw thorne avenue yesterday tnomlna from pleuro-pneumonla, resiiltintc from a cold which attacked him several weeks an. The deceased was a prominent fisr ure in Portland politics during- a a-ood-ly portion of tne olden days when the Democratic party was more of a factor in local and state politics.

CJ, EX PliAl XS AG Al V H IS RELA TION'S TO TITLE COM PAW. Says He Wiw Nt a "Srcrct lobby ist" at Salem What He Did for Rops. PORTLAND. April 1, (To the Editor. FVr the lest three years I have been more or Im In the service of the State of Ore iron. For 1ft months I was secretary of ths OommiMfon tn revise) the tsx laws of the stat. jr about 14 months I have been active In the dlecharpra of my duties as Railroad Commlmrtoner. The manner In which I have performed theee duties Is known to all. It la very stimincant that my official acts have not been assailed by any of my rivals; and that my honesty, com petency and dtllrence In the dtacharire of my duties are thereby, at least by necessary Inference, commended, even by my oppon ents. Because; they could not attack my official life, they have urred the only thlnr they could present that I was connected at one time with the Title lluarantee A Truet Company as one of Us attorneys. That my connection with that company was severed many months before Us failure Is com mon knowledfr. They do not charge that I did anything- or omitted anything- which I ahould have done while one of the com pany's attorneys, but merely that I was "connected with the company. Coupled with thts Is the claim that I was a '"secret" lobbyist of the company, and that my appointment wit the rvetilt of a political dal of some eort between Mr. Steel, the State Treasurer, and the com pany. This Is not true. That my appoint ment was not due to the Influence of any officer of the Title Company has been suffi ciently estabttehed by the uncontradicted statement of Henry Hahn, Herman Wittenberg- and A. H Devers, published some months- arn In The Oreirnnlan. and by ths letter of Mr. Hahn appearing- tn another column of this paper. That I did not con ceal from any member of the les-lslature that I was In the employ of the Title Com pany can be learned by Inquiry. The letter published In this mornlnic's Oreironlan shows that what I have hitherto contended Is true; that I accidentally learned of ths Introduction of H. R. WT, that I rerarded It as ho utile to the Interests of my client, the Title Company, and tha I Immediately reported It both to the com pany and to the proper Benate committee. The bill was killed, unanimously. In the Senate. I have no resrete on that aro re. aya !enator Coke: "He surely should not be censured for objecting to such a bill. W h lie the bill passed the House, owln-e; to the fact that It was apparently wholly mis understood or not considered, It did not re ceive a single vote of a member of the ienate. The effect of the bill would have be-n to have placed titles to real estafce In such unsettled condition that It would have been a e-reat Injury to the entire state: In other words. It would require ten years after a decision of the Supreme Court be fore the title to any real property Involved therein would be settled or In shape eo a person would be safe In buying- the same or lending- money thereon." I am aeked whether I will deny tbat the state banking- bill was prepared In the offices of the Title Guarantee Trust Com pany, and tbat I assisted In the preparation of it. Certainly I deny It. ery banker In th-e state knows the contrary. The state banking bill was prepared by a committee of tHe State Bankers Association and was Introduced by Senator Haines, who was the president of the association. Neither I nor the Title Company had anything whatever to do with Its preparation. I dM prepare and present to the Senate committee, openly, an amendment providing for a separation of the truet and banking departments, and this waa adopted. I do not believe there is a bank or busi ness house of any s1k in the city which does not use a telegraph code for the trans mission of messag-ea. Economy and business prudence require this. I am asked whether I will deny having sent a copy of the banking bill to the Title Company on March 5, 1P07. Certainly not. This was long after the L-r1slature ad journed, and before the session laws were published. I would send any cltlxen a copy of any law when he aaked me to go to the office of the Secretary of State and get It. That Is what I did In this case. If the fact that I did aid In the prepara tion of the Railroad Commission law, in the Interest of the people, and in my capacity as attorney was paid for so doing by pubtlc organisations In the City of Portland, con demns me. I will have to plead guilty. Mr. Hurlburt claims he has had 35 years ex perience In railroad employment. If my em ployment In the interest of the public Is a gal net my election, how should Mr. Hurl burt's former employment affect him as far as the public Is concerned? After all. Is not the main question what sort of a Railroad Convmissloner have I been ? I am entitled to be judged by my services as Commissioner during the last 14 months, and on that pro-position I stand.
