THE MORXIXG OREGONIA MONDAY, JULY 6, 1908. NOMINEE TO TAKE III TO CONSULT Question of Vice-President to Be Postponed Till Lead er is unosen. GRAY BOOM FALLS AWAY Judge Gajnor's ISalloon Also Bursts. Bryan Says, if Chosen, He Wants Hand In Naming HnnninE-Mate. Mitchell Is Non-Committal. DENVER, July 5. The question of the selection of a candidate on the Democratic ticket for the Vlce-Presl-dem-y will not be determined until af ter the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. This is the desire of Mr. Bryan, and has been communicated to the Bryan leaders. Mr. Bryan has taken the position that not until after the first position has been filled can there be a really intelligent eelectlon for the second place. When, the nomi nation shall have been made and there shall be an opportunity to consider its effect upon the country at large, then, he thinks, and not until then, can the Vice-Prosidrncy be intelligently con sidered. This desire on the part of Mr. Bryan has heen received generally with favor. Most of the delegates agree that the situation can be sized up to better ad vantage after the lirst selection in made than before that event, and fur thermore, there has been so much talk regarding the Vice-Presidency that most of the delegates welcome an ex cuse for at least temporarily dropping the subject. Consult Over Vice-President." The present disposition, therefore, is not only to postpone the selection of a Vice-Presidential candidate until after the nomination for the first place but to adjourn the convention for a long enough time to permit a general exchange of views among the leaders, and to give the Presidential nominee an opportunity to express his preference. Mr. Bryan has not hesitated in letting the fact be known that if the nomination for the Presidency goes to him he will desire to be consulted as to the choice of a running mate. Ho has repeatedly said that he would prefer Judge Gray for this position, but today, for the first time sine the dele gations hegan to gather, there has been a falling off in the Gray Vice-Presidential boom. This was especially noticeable among Western delegates. It was gen erally credited to the positive statement made yesterday by Judge Gray. It is also known that some strongly antago nistic representations concerning Judge Gray have been recently made to Mr. Bryan by bis recognized advisers, who declare that these have not failed of effect. It is nsserfed that Ir Krvan'H present demand for delay is due more largely to these adverse representations than to any other circumstance and the tone of confidence In Mr. Gray's nomina tion is not now so strong aa it was in the 'le-tnntnt' Muige t.aynor s Boom CJone. There has also been a decided falling off during the day in the efforts to boost Judge Gaynor, of New York, for the Vice-Presidency, ft has been hinted that Mr. Gaynor has antagonized the Catholic church, "and." said a delegate who Is himself a Catholic, "it is not to be sup posed that we are going to take chances in this campaign by nominating any man win. i! rn'i m least Hcceputnie to lie Catholic vote. In view of Mr. Taft's record in the Philippines, we shall have to he careful on that nnint." - It is1 still contended, however, that If New York will get together and name an acceptable candidate, the Vice-Presidential nomination will go to that state. John Mitchell, who arrived today, when asked regarding his proposed candidacy for the Vice-Presidency on the Demo cratic ticket, said: "I am strongly disinclined to partici pate in political life .lust now." Beyond that he would not discuss the subject. fillPPPY DTDI ICC IM CPflDM Cont!ntnd From First r.ine.) crisy is indicated by these salving words uttered by Mr. Bryan, at the Iroquois Club last December when he stood up and said: "We must forget the pant and work for Hie luturo. We mut forittit all and forglvs all. For mj-self I may say I have no griev ance. I no longer Judge a man by what he haa done. The future is everything to me. I want to know what he la golnc to de In the future.' "How tan we account for this abrupt channe from brutal assault to smirking palaver? Had Mr. Sullivan changed. Was not his office held 'by fraud' then as much as In 1906. What had happened suddenly to make It 'passible' for 'honest Democrats' to associate with him? Simply this, as everybody knows. Mr. Bryan wanted the Illinois delegation to the con vention and to :iecnniTl!sh thnt nni.nAIA he did not hesitate an instant to eat lus own vicious words. In the Purty Absorbed? "Mr. Brya.i views me with sancti monious horror as a 'political boss who sh.ill never ho In the party organization fxeept owr my protest," as a 'bush whacker who should not bo put into my councils to betray me.' " My councils.' indeed! Is the Demo tratic party leally absorbed? Has It no councils? Is Mr. Bryan the whole organization? 'Let the people rule." he shouts, and forthwith proceeds to dictate r,ot only every act, every office and every resolution of this convention, but also to put the ban upon every man from any Ftale who is opposed to his candidacy or Ills platform. Does he turn his vitupera tion aewunst me because I am a boss? .oi at an. i am no more or a doss now than I was during the two campaigns when I won his approbation by trying to elect him. Calls Bryan "Arrogant Boss." "The, only boss he hates is the boss opposed to his own arrogant self the most impudent, domineering, devastating boss the Democratic party has ever had. "But there is another reason. I am a corporation man. Well, I am. I was in 1S96 and 1900 and am today. But although I have been connected with cor porations there is not a dollar In any company which is not an incorporation of my own private business that I abso- lutely control. That, however, makes no 'difference. I am a 'corporation man but It Is only when opposed to Mr. Bryan that I am considered unworthy of association with the one living 'honest "Democrat. My counsel and my help are no longer desired. Once Needed His Help. It was not always so. In 1896 and 1901 the late Senator Jones many times declared there were Just three men up on vnotD ne never cauea xor nnaociai assistance in vain. One was - the late Marcus Daly, another was WITllam R. Hearst, the third was myself. Through his friend and manager Mr. Bryan not only accepted gratefully., but beseeching ly sought our aid and we gave freely thousands and thousands of dollars. Mr. Bryan knew then and knows, now that I was as much of a 'corporation man in 1896 and 1900 as I am in 1908. but did he 'scruple abstemiously to use our money to help his canvass? Let him answer at his leisure, and what fol lowed? Turns Vpon His Friends. "After bis defeat Mr. Hearst became his patron and paid him thousands of dollars, only to be turned upon without a qualm, though now when again a candidate Mr. Bryan fawns upon him In hope of gaining his support. "I reap my reward In a vicious, brutal attack from the man who professed to be my friend. Mr. Daly died soon enough not to feel the Ingratitude of one who accepts a man's assistance and at the first refusal to serve a selfish purpose, spits in his face. "I have replied to Mr. Bryan's vituper ative assault upon me with calmness and restraint. The use of expletives Is clear ly unnecessary. This simple recital of plain facts shall be sufficient to enable any fair mind to determine with certain ty at a time when harmony is the chief requisite of party success, who is the self-convicted falsifier, who the hypocrite, who the real and most arrogant 'boss' ever known in the Democratic party and who, I regret to add. the ingrate." READY Ft 5EC0ID HALF FLEET ASSEMBLED TO START FOR THE ANTIPODES. Alahama and Maine Replaced Toy Wisconsin and Nebraska All In Better Condition Than Ever. SAN FRANCISCO. July 5. Fresh from drydocks, with bunkers full of coal and magazines filled with ammunition, fresh ly painted and looking as spick and span as the day they left Hampton Roads headed for the Pacific, the 16 battleships of the Atlantic fleet are riding at anchor tonight in the harbor ready to sail next Tuesday on the second half of the long cruise around the world. At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, two months and a day after it entered the portals of the Oolden Gate at the end of a 13,000-mile voyage, the f wer of the American Navy, headed by t.. flagship Connecticut, will steam out of the harbor of San Fran cisco under the command ef Rear-Admiral C. S. Sperry, the third Commander-in-Chief since the fleet sailed from Hamp ton Roads. The fleet will reach Honolulu on July M. remain a week, and then proceed to the antipodes. Elaborate preparations for its entertainment have been made at Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne. The fleet will reach Manila after a visit to Japanese ports, about October 1. Before returning to Hampton Roads, the latter part of February, 14 months after start ing from the Atlantic, the battleships will have sailed nearly all the seas on the globe and completed the most re markable cruise In naval history. The reassembling of the Atlantic fleet began more than a week ago and the Kearsarge. which finished loading am munition at Mare Island Navy-Yard yes terday, was the last to drop anchor in her column in Man-o'-War row last night. The fleet, according to Admiral Sperry, is in better shape than when it left Hampton Roads last December. The fire control system which was only complete on a few of the ships, is now thoroughly Installed on each one. The places of the Alabama and Maine, which came around South America. with the fleet and which sailed from here June 8 homeward bound as a special service squadron, have been taken by the battleships Wisconsin and Nebraska. Commodore H. Morrell, of the Wisconsin, has been retired and Commander F. C. Beatty, of the cruiser Charleston, has been assigned to the command of that hip. The Charleston is at Bremerton and Commander Beatty is expected to arrive tomorrow to assume his new duties. Today was the last day that the pub llo was admitted on board the warships. Tomorrow the visitors will be restricted to relatives and friends of officers. WOULD XOT WARE Mil. BRYAN Wife Would Xot Disturb Him to Hear Guffey's Answer. FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb.. July 6. Mr. Bryan had retired for the night and was asleep when the statement of Colonel J. M. Guffey, National committeeman from Pennsylvania, replying to Mr. Bryan's charges made yesterday reached here. Mrs. Bryan declined to disturb him. ENGINEER UNDER ARREST (Continued on Page 2.) serve the signal that was standing against him, and which was protecting the use of the crossing by the other train. Barry feels deeply the accusation, and says It Is the first time in a career of 13 years of railroading that fault has been found with him. He does not hold himself altogether blameless, but says that he was placed on a run the peculiarities of which he had not mas tered before he was given the respon sibility of taking trains over it with out an experienced guide. Barry Has Excuge to Offer. Barry also claims that there has been much misunderstanding about the sys tem of double semaphores, and that in this particular case it was impossible for him to see the second semaphore in time to avoid the collision. He added that newly-oiled tracks made his wheels slip pery and prevented prompt application of the brakes. There have been no further deaths as a result of the wreck and the injured are reported to be getting along well. Getting Him Classified. Washington Evening Star.

(Special Correspond ence.) From Saratoga Springs to Boston is but passing: from one historic spot to another, and what a comfort it is to board the train at bedtime, retire, go to sleep and wake up at early morn at one's destination. The 4X)0 club women of Massachusetts extended a cordial greeting to the 1200 delegates assembled in Boston on the ninth biennial, and Symphony Hall was taxed to its utmost seating capacity. It was a sipht long to be remembered. With the officers, delegates and alter nates, the attendance . was about 2000, and the entire seating capacity of the hall was rilled with visiting club women, entered by ticket. It is not :the province of this letter to give In any degree the details of this magnirlcent gathering, but only to paint a few word pictures. First and foremost stands out in clear light the presiding officer. Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker. Her method of presiding is unique, not like any one else; she seems to hold her forces by keen humor. To use her own term, "she gets hold of the convention." World Teems With Work. If there had been any doubt in our minds whether or no this world we live in was teeming with problems to be solved, the doubt would have been soon dlesipated when the programme of this convention was examined,, for it fairly bristled with problems and their pos sible solution. Co-operation was the magic word; to federate for the betterment of the human race, the slogan. The criticism, so often heard of women's clubs in high places, being only a social fad. Is based on lack of knowledge, and any one only had to listen to the reports of the work accomplished to be con vinced of the serious aims and practical methods of carrying out those aims. The social quality is undoubtedly true, and it is well, for the old adage. ''All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a principle that is applicable in club life as well as elsewhere. Our social natures need recreation that we may not be socially dwarfed, yet the reports given at this biennial show aims deep and broad, and noble ideals which will develop the best home life and civic betterment. Clubs No Menace to Women. Any one fearing that the clubs are a menace to domesticity should have at tended the conferences - or "Household 75c Summer Vests 49c "Women 's low-neck, -sleeveless Vests, in fancy trimmed effects, made of prime quality mercerized lisle.

Mrs. Robert Burdette rec ommended that housekeepers simplify, classify, glorify and jollify the day's work. This was one of the best papers of the. conference. Forest preservation is a live problem with the Federation. Encs A. Mills, of California, gave an able address on the subject of "Forestry,' and a plea for the birds of the forest was earnestly made by Mrs. May Riley Smith. She said that the insectiverous birds belong to the eco nomic department of nature, and if they were destroyed humanity would have a hard time getting along. Under present conditions the damage to crops by insects (which the birds would have taken care of) Is $200,000 annually. International scholarships Is another question in which the clubwomen are much Interested. Among the many able addresses given by noted speak ers, that of Senator Beveridge on "The Slavery of Child Labor" should receive mention. His array of -authentic facts stirred every clubwoman. The result will be. without doubt, renewed efforts in the abolition of this slavery. Professor Charles Zuebin spoke ably on "Democracy and Culture." Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was a central figure at the welcome meeting. The music of the convention was of the highest order, especially the woman's orchestra, the Bostonia Or chestra, which rendered the most de lightful music throughout the conven tion. Clam 'Bake at Newport. The excursion down the harbor, ten dered by the Chamber of Commerce of Boston, which some 140 clubwomen enjoyed, was a notable event. The "play day," as it was called, when the convention took a day for an excursion to the far-Tamed Newport,- where the Rhode Island women entertained, giving a "clam bake," was another great day. It was amusing in the extreme to see the woman from the interior of our country, who had never before tried to eat clams, and it Is safe to say that many were not ex actly educated up to a clam-bake din ner. N Many phases of the labor question were Intelligently handled, as to wel fare work, consumers league label, etc., the clubwomen being thoroughly alive to the Importance of the whole problem. The election of officers was a re markable feature of the convention, inasmuch as only one office had two candidates. -and that one was for the presidency. There was no stir about even that. It was the most quiet elec tion imaginable. Mrs. Moore, who re ceived the largest vote, is a woman of great executive ability and every way fitted for the position. Next Letter a "Call to the Wild." But all this you have probably read about. Wliat I would like to tell you is that such a gathering of representa tive women, banded together for the good of the race, is of deep signifi cance, and must make a definite im pression for good on civic life ail around us. The old, oft-repeated definition of civilization, as given us by Emerson, comes to us at this point with much force, "that civilization was the power of good women," and this practical demonstration of the concen tration of this power, gives the defini tion added weight. The next trip to write you about will be "Call to the Wild." and will give a bit of a glimpse of New Eng land as a great Summer resort.

The Alco Club of Albany Is now equipping one of the finest gymnasiums in the Pacific Northwest. The Rymn-f-slum Is being installed In the new $30f0 athletic annex to the club, which haa Just been completed with a frontage of 62 feet on' Third street, adjoining the club build ing proper, which stands on Broadalbin street.

Provide for Women Members. The Alco Club baseball team is do ing good work, and promises to create an enviable reputation among the ath letic organizations of the Willamette Valley towns from now on. Special provision has been made in the new structure for the ladies' aux iliary of the Alco Club, and as ath letics Is becoming quite a fad among the women of Albany, It is expected that renewed interest will be aroused because of the superior advantages of fered the fair sex for the acquirement of athletic training in the new struc ture. The apartments designed for the accommodations of the women contain every convenience and up-to-date re quirement. Among the features of the gym nasium Is a gallery with a seating capacity of 400 persons, where spec tators may witness in comfort the ath letic entertainments which will form a feature of club life during the com ing season.

The objects, of the club then Bet forth were the mental, physical and social enjoyment of its members, and among the provisions of the organiza tion was one that there should be no liquor sold or used in the rooms of the club, and that no games should be played for money or on a wager. The name of the club was the happy inspiration of E. D. Cusick, and Is composed by using the -i..tial letters of the words "Albany. Linn County, Ore gon" A-L-C O.

The acces sion of ex-United States Senator J. R. Burton .of Kansas, to the ranks of the Democratic party, at least for the nexf campaign, was announced today. Mr. Burton came In with the Kansas dele gation, and while not a delegate, min gled freely with the Democrats of that state. He lost no time in making known his intention of supporting the nominee of the Denver convention, and expressed the opinion that the honor of that nomination would be awarded to Mr. Bryon. "I won't," he said, "support Taft, for the reason that his nomination was se cured through the use of patronage, and I regard the use of patronage as the most corrupting thing in govern ment. I would not support a Hepub llcan or a Democrat or anybody who was nominated as Mr. Taft was, by mlsua eof public office. The supreme question is, shall we have a democracy or a despotism? Roosevelt has made more progress for autocracy In this country than all other Presidents we have had and less for -democracy. "He haa given us a political trust that Is a tnousand times more danger ous than all the commercial trusts. ml the first trust to be busted Is the polit ical trust. That trust ia founded on patronage, and it can be destroyed only by destroying patronage. Just as Mr. Bryan said yesterday, the paramount question Is whether or not thi Gov ernment shall be controlled by a polit ical oligarchy or by the people. The tariff and all other questions fall into insignificance when compared with this question of the use of patronage. For this reason, if for no other, I shall sup port the nominee of the Democratic convention." SPECTACULAR RACE IS OVER (Continued from Page 1.) Plcton. The car' pilot, J.

The spectacular features of the lon dlstance event were furnished by the French ballon, VUle de Dieppe, and the Columbia. The occupants of both escaped death by so narrow a margin that If the flight were considered from that view point alone it would be notable. All of the ballons which started from this city Saturday afternoon, have been accounted for. The "Fielding-Sanatonlo" owned by Dr. Fielding, of San Antanio, Tex., wins the prize for the greatest distance covered. It is thought the 'Iill nios"' Is second and the "Chicago" third, but this will have to be determined later when the experts have figured out the distances. The .most thrilling adventure was the 40-minutes battle In Lane Michigan by Captain Muller, of the French balloon Ville de Dieppe, and his companion, a boy. First Trip for Winner. ' The Fielding-San Antonio was the only one to retain its gas during the entire day. Five bags were brought down, all within a radius of three counties In Mich igan, near the shores of Lake Huron. Dr. Fielding, owner of the winner, never rode a balloon before. He weighs 250 pounds, but became enthusiastic at the. last moment and decided to accompany his pilot. In addition to the JSnoO prize, he wins $5000 from Charles A. Coey, of Chicago. The balloons after leaving Chicago took a northeasternly course across the south ern end of Lake Michigan, passing over the peninsula and making for the St. Clair River. After crossing Lake Mich igan, traveling rapidly in a northwesterly direction, all of the balloons see mto have encountered a southwesterly wind, for their course changed so that all traveled 'towards Quebec.
