TROUBLE IN PART! Democrats Break on Selection of Delegates. INMAN CAUSE OF DISSENT Wood-Terry Faction Said to Suspect That Propot-cd Delegate to Na tional Convention Is Not Bryan Supporter. All is not harmony in the Democratic county central committee. The first evi dence of a lack of unity was manifested at the meeting of the central committee Saturday night when it selected delegates to the state convention over the protest of N, A. Peery and C. K. S. Wood, two of the committeemen. Messrs. Wood and Perry yesterday declined to discuss the subject, but it is understood the pro posed indorsement of delegates to the National Democratic convention at Den ver is the real hone of contention be tween the two elements in the commit tee. The faction in the committee head ed by State Chairman Alex Sweek and County Chairman George H. Thomas, it is said, want D. M. Watson and R. D. lnman to be two of the delegates to the Denver convention. The other side is , reported to be suspicious - of Inman's Democracy and declares that the present organization of the central committee was effected to boost the candidacy of lnman. among other things. The antl-Inman crowd in the commit tee meeting did not stand any more chance of accomplishing anything than did thehandful of Bourne delegates in the laic Republican state convention. The county organization, by its com mittee on resolutions, proposed a reso lution directing that the central commit tee select Multnomah County's quota of 38 delegates to the state convention. Mr. Peery proposed an amendment providing for the selection of delegates to a county convention for the purpose of selecting state delegates, and although the sub stitute was supported by Mr. Wood and a few other delegates, it was voted down by an overwhelming vote. The central committee then adopted the original resolution and proceeded to select the list of 38. after a nominating committee had been appointed for the purpose. It Is now charged by the disgruntled zrembers that the central committee was organized through the efforts of Chair man Thomas and his friends In the pri mary electien and it is not representa tive of the Democratic voters of the county. It was for this reason, they as sert, that a county convention was de sired that the party voters might select, indirectly, the delegates that are to go to Denver from this state. The minority element of the central committee alleges that the forces in con trol of the organization propose to push the candidacy of Messrs. Watson and lnman as delegates to the National con vention. Of the eight delegates from this state, the Democratic state convention usually apportions two to Multnomah County, two to Southern Oregon and two to Eastern Oregon, while the re maining two are selected from the state at large. The dissatisfied members of the committee will accept Watson, who is known to be a warm personal friend of Bryan, but Inman's Democracy, when It comes to supporting Bryan, they in sis is questionable. The committee Is a unit on one thing and that is that the Democrats of this state shall send a delegation to the Denver convention with instructions to support Bryan first, last and all of the time. While the Demo crats here do not regard Governor John son as a dangerous rival, they do not propose to send any delegates whose Democracy Is not above suspicion. It is charged against lnman that In he was a strong McKInley supporter and the disappointed committeemen pro fess not to have any satisfactory knowl edge that he has since returned to the Democratic camp and can be depended upon to stand by the wishes of his party a expressed in the state convention, with or without specific instructions. However, the 38 delegates have not se lected any choice for delegates and by the terms of a motion adopted at the meeting Saturday night, will not make any recommendatidns until the day of the state convention, June 9. It is generally understood among the Democrats that Governor Chamberlain will head the delegation as one of the flelegates-at-large. State Senator M. A. Miller, of Lebanon, undoubtedly, will be one of the other delegates. HAVE YOU SEEN THE FLEET? A commanding view of the great battleship fleet can be had from the high bluffs at Newport. Or.

PORT1.AXD GAS CO, L STATEMENT ONE FORCES FIGHT FOR LEGISLATURE. Democrats Are Allied With Foes of Autl-Statenicnt Republican Xomlnees. Vigorous efforts to give control of the next Legislature to the Statement No. 1 forces are being made by Iemocrats and by ..Republican foes of anti-Statement Republican nominees. And because H. M. Cake. Republican nominee for United States Senator, refuses to Join the fight on the anti-Statement nominees of his party, a considerable part of the com bined forces are fighting him. Although Senator Bourne professes to be a stead fast champion. of Statement 1, his follow ers say he 1b supporting the Republican ticket, even including the anti-Statement nominees. Bourne's attitude is declared inconsistent by the combined Democrat bolting Republican forces, but the Bourne men make answer that he pursued the same policy two years ago. Lacking but three or four members of a majority of the next Legislature provided all the Statement One nomi nees shall be elected, which seems cer tain, the Statement One men are striv ing to win the needed members, chief ly' in Washington and Yamhill Coun ties. There is a combined movement against the "Republican voters' choice" nominees of the Republican party. Op? position candidates have been nominat ed in mass convention and an organ ized effort is being made to elect them. The same work is being done in Gil liam, Sherman and Wheeler Counties. With Yamhill County is joined Tilla mook In joint legislative districts. In these six counties are ten Republican nominees to Statement One and pledged to vote for the Republican choice for United States Senator. In these counties the two sets of candi dates are as follows: Washington County Anti-Statement No. 1, for Representatives, S. A. D. Meek. Charles Hines, H. D. Green. Statement No. 1, C. E: Hedge, William Schulmerlch. N. I. Burnett. Anti-Statement No. 1, for State Senator, Dr. W. D. Wood. State ment No. 1, Arthur N. Cutting. Yamhill County Anti-Statement No. I, for Representatives, F. K. Jones and J. W. Bones. Statement No. 1, John O. Kckman. Republican; M. F. Corrigan, Democrat. Tillamook-Yamhill Anti-Statement No. 1. for Representative. A. G. Beals. State ment No. 1, Sam Laughliir. Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler For Representatives, B. F. Pike and R. N. Donnelly (anti-Statement No. 1: W. T. Jackson and W. T. Mariner (Statement No. 1). For Senator. Jay Bowerman (anti Statement No. 1); W. J. Edwards (State ment No. X). In these six counties the Statement forces find conditions the most favorable for winning the Legislators whom they need to- make up their majority at Salem next Winter. Democrats hope to supple ment this work by electing several of their party nominees, in Linn, Wasco, Baker and Umatilla counties. They are making a fight in Multnomah and Clacka mas for electionof their candidate, A. King Wilson, over the. Republican nomi nee, C. N.

Cotterlll Be fore the People's Forum. At the meeting of the People's Forum last night In Selllng-Hirsch hall, the sin gle tax amendment was discussed by Ralph R. Dunniway and George F. Cot terlll, of Seattle. Mr. Dunniway's opinion of the measure was radical, impractical and misleading. It was1 presented, he said, In a way to catch votes by appearing to the envious passions of certain elements of society. The speaker pointed out that the amend ment does not properly represent single tax, since in permitting the taxation of business blocks and other properties it departed from the principles of single tax as enunciated by its founder. The speaker declared that if the peti tioners were indeed believers In the single tax, pure and simple, they should refuse to support a measure which, as presented in the amendment, is in violation of the principles of their doctrine. He advised his hearers to abandon the amendment as at present advocated, and reintroduce it in a manner that would be in harmony with the basic princpiles upon which the doctrine is founded. Mr. Dunniway referred to the fact that the enactment of the amendment would result iir endless confusion and litigation in the matter of adjusting assessments. It would also necessitate long and com plicated revision of the laws, he said. Mr. Cotterlll, speaking in behalf of the measure, dwelt upon the enormous Increase in value of certain properties in Seattle. He reasoned that the in crease in value was in the land, not in the buildings, which depreciate; that the increase in value has been pro duced by the people who have doubled the population of the city, and not by the property owners. He also illus trated his views by referring to prop erty owned by a pioneer resident of the city, who for the past 40 years has been an inmate of the State Insane Asylum. During that time nothing was done to the property, but Its value was constantly Increasing, until at the present time it is valued at Jl, 000, 000. This property, the speaker said, should have paid taxes in proportion to its increased valuation. The present tax system he characterized as only an excuse for a system. Preaches Farewell Sermon.
