THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY. APRIL, 20. 1908. 7. SEEK FOR CONTROL OF LEGISLATURE Democrats Will Join Hands With Statement One Nominees. EXPECT TO DEFEAT CAKE "With Statement One Republican Nominee, Only Few Democrats Need to Be Elected to Give Them the Whip Hand. Kiection of four or five Democratic legislators In addition to all the Statement-one Republican nominees would give the Legislature wholly to the control of the Statement-one forces. Pledged to Statement-one are S3 Republican nominees and nine or t;n holdover State Senators. This total of 42 or 43 almost reaches the 4t votes needed In the Legislature to elect a United States Senator. Democrats are now surveying: the Mate to see where they have a g-ood i lianre of defeating anti-Statement Republican nominees for the Legis lature. Such nominees, if elected, would not vote for ChamDerlain for L'nited States Senator, even though he were the "people's choice," at the June election, since he 1s a Democrat. Meiice Chamberlain's followers want kb many of them defeated as possible. Chamberlain's followers are jubilant over the prospect of his defeating H. M. Cake, the Republican nominee. They say they see not so many obstacles to ward bra ting Cake as in securing a Stat-ement-one majority of the Iegis lnture and in holding the Republican members of that majority to their pledge. Opposition Gets Majority. While Statement No. 1 cut a wide wath in the Republican primaries last Friday, It failed to prevent the oppo sition candidates from winning a ma j sority or the Legislative nominations throughout the state. In only six or seven, counties did It win a sweeping victory Multnomah, in which 14 Sta tement candidates were nominated out of 18; Clackamas. In which three were nominated, all Statement men; Douglas, in which two Statement men were nominated out of three, and one joint candidate with Jackson ; Union and Wallowa, in which three State ment tnn were nominated : Benton, whose one Representative candidate Is pledged to the Statement; likewise Co 'umbia. which has one seat In the Legislature. These counties made 25 of the 33 Statement Xo. 1 nominations In the state. The eight other Statement nominations were in counties which were divided with anti-Statement nom inees. The total nominations for the Legislature were 75. Less than a ma jority of the Republican nominees for the Legislature, therefore, are pledged to vote, as to United States Senator, for Governor Chamberlain, should he defeat H. M. Cake in the June election. Counties Against Statement. In Washington and Clatsop Coun ties. Statement No. 1 was completely defeated. Linn nominated two anti Statement men out of three: Marion nominated tliree anti-Statement men out of five; Lane nominated two anti Statement men out of three: Jose phine, two out of three; Coos and Curry, two out of three; Wasco, two out of three. Tn a number of counties there were no statement No. l candidates. Coos and Curry had none for their two cents in the House of Representatives; Jackson had none for Us two seats in that body; Tarn hill none for Its two; Tillamook none for Its one; Crook. Klamath. Grant and Laxe. none fox their two places; Morrow and Umatilla, none for their one: Baker, none for Its one; Harney and Malheur, none for their one; Gilliam. Sherman and Wheeler, none for their two. Democrats will make snarp fights In some of these counties for election of Statement No. 1 legislators, pledged thereby to vote for Governor Cham berlain. COMMITTEES WILL ORGANIZE Republicans and Democrats to Get Down to Work. C. M. Idteman, chairman of the Repub lican County and City Central Com mittee, wtjl today issue a call for the meting of the new central commlueemoTi on Wednesday night. Just where Ins brand-new committeemen will gather has not yet been decided upon, but It will be held at the 3elling-Hirch hall, provided It can be had for ihe meeting. All told there are 115 committeemen in the city and county, but for some reason, eight of the precincts did not name candidates. During the campaign there was a hot fight for the control of the Central Com mittee, carried on by the Idlema-i fjrtts and F. R. Reed. The Idleman forces. headed by Max Cohen, claim to have wrtn out In the battle and are claiming between 90 to 9o of the committeemen, leaving 14 to the Reed forces. At the meeting Wednesday night a new chairman and a secretary will oe elected. A number of the leaders among the com mitteemen are of the opinion that the selection of chairman should be left to H. M. Cake, the Republican nominee for United State Senator. There has been some talk that an outside man was to be named as chairman, but Max Cohen stated last night there Is no trutn in this statement. Just now the big war cry among the leaders of the commit-eraci is harmony and hard work. Reed, who Is supposed to have been leading the op position. Is now for Mr. Cake and has promised to do all he can to make his election in June sure. Reed was .ooklng for Mr. Cake last night in order to assure him of his support and those of the com mitteemen lined up with him. Several members of the commit have been mentioned for the secretaryship. Of the list, the name of Max Cohen seems to be the- most prominent. Just when the Democrats will call together their committeemen has net bten decided upon, but they expect to gtt into action right away. The fight between the Thomas forces and those led by Feery and Dick Montague was keener among the Democrats than that among the Re publicans. Thomas was battling to retain control of the committee and he claims a victory. Montague was bcatei and so were several other members of the Pery force. SURPRISED AT ELECTION Visitor Not Accustomed to Oregon Political Methods. "I'v learned a lot of things about bow th real political gams ouf ht to b played in the last few daj-a.A said Frank W. Middaugh. political editor of the Spokane Daily Chronicle, last night. "I think Oregon, and particularly Port land, from what I have observed, has reduced the problem of running far of fice to an exact science. Of course, to you people who have been having more or less turbulent times with the pri mary election law. Statement No. 1, and all that sort of thing, it doesn't make much of an impression upon you to see IS and even S4 sheet posters on the bill boards all over town calling attention to some man's candidacy, but It rather made me bat my eyes when I saw, not only one or two- but a dozen, a score of these glaring, lurid -agns. splattered all over huge bill-boards right in the middle of town: I wondered In an in nocent sort of a way whether or not there were some tremendously vital Is sues at stake In the political crisis through which you have just passed, and 1 was more than astonished to learn that It was Just an ordinary primary election, without any peculiarly strategic questions Involved. "Over in Spokane we haven't been ac customed to such things. Now, for in stance, I notice that the candidates have been able to exploit all sorts of pub licity matter about their fitness for of fice, their intense solicitude for the sov ereign voter and tn many Instances I haven't even noticed that their advertis ing matter has been starred. In our town, and in fact in the state of Wash ington, the candidate who advertises has no chance of concealing the fact that he is tooting his horn at so much p?r line. Big black type must accompany the reading matter stating that it Is 'po Jltical advertising Again, every can didate must, under a severe penalty for infraction, file an Itemized statement for every cent of money he has expended during his campaign. Our law is based on the Garfield law In Ohio, In this re spect.1 "That is why I say you people have laws of greater latitude than we have, and I haven't-been able to figure out whether they are better in practice than ours." Mr. Midriaugh was the girest of E. A. Beats, district weather forecaster, while here. He returns to Spokane this morning. BRYANT BEATS CLEMENS CHANGE LIKELY IX LEGISLA TIVE TICKET. This Will Not Affect Policy of Dele gation, for Both Favor Statement No. 1. A revision of the unofficial returns for Friday's primary election gives J. C. Bry ant a lead over W. J. Clemens, who was believed to have been nominated for State Representative on the Republican ticket. The revised returns give Bryant 6698 and J. C. Bit ant, Who Probably Haa De feated W. J. Clemens for State Representative. Both Were Can didate on Mate meat No. 1 Ticket. Clemens 5694. and if these figures are confirmed by the official count, Bryant will have a place on the Representative ticket, replacing Clemens. Otherwise the Representative ticket will be as published yesterday In The Oregonian. The complexion of the Representative ticket will not be affected by the substi tution of Bryant for Clemens, both ha--ing been candidates on the Statement No. 1 ticket. There is little doubt but that Joseph W. Beveridge, who served Mult nomah County in the House at the 1907 session, will be the 12th candidate for Representative. Beveridge leads McMil lan, the next high candidate, by a major ity of 184. and It is not probable the re sult will be changed by the official can vass which will be begun today by Coun ty Clerk Fields, assisted by Justices Fred L. Olson and William Reid. With the probable exchange of Clemens for Bryant on the Representative ticket, it is not believed the final count will effect any changes In the list of successful candi dates as published yesterday morning. STUDY RIGHTS OF NATIONS International Iaw Society Aims to rrevent Wars. . WASHINGTON. April 19. To develop interest and Instruct the popular mind on subjects pertaining to the relations of the United States with the other na tions of the world. Is the ambitious un dertaking of the American Society of International Law, which is to hold Its second annual conference here Friday and Saturday. That the ambition of the society is being realized Is evidenced by the 800 members enrolled and the wide circulation of the American Journal of International Lam-, published quarterly by the organization. Secretary of State Ellhu Root, who is president of the society, has taken a keen Interest in its development, which he regard as highly Important to the Nation, in view of the increase of pop ular control over National conduct which marks the political development of the time. The principal plank in the platform of the society Is. in the words of Mr. Root: -That the great body of the people In each country should have a just con ception of their International rights and duties." On this point, Jlr. Root says: Governments do not make war nowadays unlens urd. of general and hearty sup port among th.ir people; and it sometime, happen, that government, ar. driven into war airainst th.tr will bjr th. preawre of vtronirer popular f!lng. It 1. not uncom mon to s two government, striving in 4he mot consistent and patient way to settle om. matter of difference peaceably, while a large part of th. people in both countries maintain an uncompromising and belligerent attitude. Insisting upon extreme and utter most view, of their own rights in a w.y whtch. If it were to control National action, would render an amicable settlement Impossible. ' ,'rr- 1 s !- p:' JJ f U I . !i SMALL VOTE GUST About 68 Per Cent of Repub licans Went to Polls. RAINY DAY THE CAUSE Lack of Candidates on .Ticket the Reason for Democratic Apathy. Table Shows Registration and Number of Ballots. With a party registration of 24.666 in Multnomah County, the Republicans In Friday's primary election cast a total vote of 1S.KB, or 68 per cent of their reg istered strength. The total Democratic vote has been reported In only 1 of the 114 precincts of the county. It aggregates 1946, or 37 per cent of the total registra tion of 5137 for the entire county. Both parties cast the heaviest vote in the West Bide precincts wljile the Repub lican vote in the country precincts ex ceeded the general average of 68 per cent for the county. The principal falling off In the vote both of the Republican and Democratic parties was in the East Side where, in several precincts, the Republi cans did not cast to exceed 50 per cent of the registered vote while less than 30 per cent of the registered Democrats ex pressed a prefernce for the party's candi dates The fact that the Democrats did not have a complete ticket in the field, there being no opposition to the candi dates whose names appeared on the bal lot is considered responsible for the light primary vote of the minority party. The following table shows the total reg istration of both parties for the primary election and the total vote cast by each last Friday: . Registration Vote cast los. April 17. 08.

AND DEVELOPMENT CO., of the United States and the Public in General: The company has recently, secured 400.000 acres of hardwood tim ber, situated on the Pacific Coast, and accessible by an exceptional deep river system. This immense and valuable tract contains more than four billion feet of. the finest kind of hardwoods, high-priced, merchantable timber, and the cost to the company is less than twenty eents per thousand feet. Among the best qualities of this timber we mention lignum ritae, mahogany, balsam copoeba, cocoa bola, espava, mangrove, etc. The average price of this timber by the board foot is over one hundred dol lars per thousand feet. The company proposes to install a mill of suf ficient capacity to meet the present demand for this fine lumber, which is enormous. , In order to secure the necessary capital for this purpose, the board of direcjors has authorized the sale of 500,000 shares of the treasury stock, of a par value of $1.00, for twenty cents pet; share. It is important to note here that each twenty cents invested in a share of this stock is secured by 1000 feet of standing, high-grade, mer chantable timber, valued at mops than $100. Here is an investment for rich and poor alike. There is absolutely no risk attached to it. The company could, at this time, dispose of this timber at a good profit as it stands, but-after thoroughly investigating every detail through experts, the board of directors deem it advisable to the best interests of all con cerned to install a mill, thereby securing the largest profits obtainable. We are already assured of contracts with firms throughout the coun try, who will purchase a large portion of our output, and at prices which will net us profits that are remarkable. Persons interested and desiring to invest their money in a safq$ big dividend-payiDg business, will do well to investigate this opportunity.

Fairview has nearly 300 people, and la one of the most attractive loca tions in the county. SHARE We have polished samples of these hardwoods, cut from this property, on exhibition at our office. Call and look them over, and you will read ily perceive the value of this timber. We will be pleased to furnish any information you may desire. Our experts' and cruisers' reports, men of wide experience and accepted as authorities in the timber world, are open to your inspection. The price of this stock, 20c per share, will be but for a limited time. We expect to be paying dividends in less than a year. The price of the stock will surely advance rapidly, so take advantage of this 20c price while you may. We would call your attention to the fact that the manufacture of lumber has been, and always will be, a big- dividend-paying investment. Thousands of people have grown rich by placing their money in lumber manufacturing industries. The opportunities are not so plentiful now for the public as in the past, and we are certain that the low price of this stock will be rapidly taken advantage of, so do not delay but subscribe at once. The supply of hardwood falls short of the demand all over the civi lized world. We have a market for our product at every seaport. The financial end of this proposition is as follows: The cost of this entire tract of timber and installation of the mill, the cutting, logging and milling of the lumber, will not average over $25.00 per thousand feet aboard ship. Conservatively estimated the net profits on each 1000 feet of lumber milled will be over $40.00. Our books are now open for subscriptions for this stock at the above quoted price of twenty cents per share. Persons desiring further in formation should call at our office or write for same. In making pay ment for subscriptions remit by check or money order, payable to E. M. Douglas, Secretary. Amusements What the Tnm AfenU Say. "The Belle of New York.
