THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, r SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1910. GULL OF ASSEMBLY VOTED APPROVAL County Committee Almost Unit for Plan Outlined by State Republicans. METHOD TO BE SELECTED Members v Who AVI II Formulate Means of Choosing Delegates Will Report at Adjourned Meeting in April. Sinnott Opponent. Members of the Multnomah County Republican County Central Committee at the Portland. Commercial Club last night not only Indorsed the recommendations of the Republican State Central Commit tee for holding state and county assem blies but appointed a committee of 13 members to formulate plans for select ing delegates to a county assembly and a method of procedure by -which the quota of delegates from this county to the state assembly shall be determined. This committee will make lta report to an adjourned meeting of the centrul com mittee -which will be held at the Com mercial Club. Friday night, April 1. In the formation of this committee, one member was ohoeen from each of the ten wards of the city and three from the country precincts. As constituted, the members of the committee are: First Ward, Sanderson Reed; Second, Frank F, Freeman; Third. Charles E. LockVood; Fourth, McKinley Mitchell; Fifth, A- J. Fanno; Sixth, C. H. Feldman; Seventh, M. G. Griffin; Eighth. H. B. Dickinson; Ninth, A. B. Manley; Tenth, L. L. Lind sey. County precincts: H. E. Collier, T. W. Corder and W, F. Harris. The mem bers of this committee -were chosen by the precinct committeemen In the differ ent -wards. Fifty Members Present. Sentiment among the 50 members of the county committee attending the meeting was virtually unanimously" in favor of indorsing the recommendations of the state committee. At the opening of the conference, F. J. Mlddleton moved -the Indorsement of the recommendations of the state committee and the appoint ment of a committee of five members to prepare a plan of procedure which should be submitted at another meeting of the committee two weeks hence. To this motion A. B. Manley raised an objection for the reason that it embraced two subjects. Mr. Mlddleton accepted the amendment suggested by Mr. Manley, dividing the original mo tion into two parts, and the meeting by an emphatic vote adopted the rec ommendation of the state central com ' mi t tee. The adoption of this provision of the motion, however, was resisted by H. W. Hinc-h, J. Frank Sinnott and George X. McCord, who, unsupported, repre sented the minority of the committee membership. Principal among the ob jectors was Mr. Sinnott, reputed can didate of Senator Bourne for United States Marshal. Mr. Sinnott opposed the amended resolution for the reason that it implied the Indorsement by the committee of the recommendations of the state committee for holding both state and county assemblies. This, he maintained, was in violation of the direct primary law. Sinnott Makes Objection. "The plan proposed." said Mr. Sin nott, "simply means the overthrow of the direct primary law and' the rein statement of former political methods In this state. The county central com mittee has no authority to act in sug gesting candidates for . public office. There is nothing to prevent those mem bers of the party who wish to hold an assembly for the purposes proposed, but I object to placing behind that procedure the indorsement of the coun ty central committee. Some amend ments are necessary to the direct pri mary law, but before it is attempted to hold an assembly the law should be so amended as to provide specific ally for that procedure. All such nec essary amendments should be submit ted to a popular vote. I Insist that party success depends upon the strict observance of the provisions of the direct primary law as It is now -framed." This discussion by Mr. Sinnott called ;for a vigorous response by H. B. Diekin :n, who maintained that not a single member of the committee was opposed to the direct primary law, in whiyh .he said, there was nothing to prevent the assem bling of Republican voters for the better concentration of efforts and the recom mendation of proper candidates which should not be objected to by any true Republican. "As members of the Republican party we have the right to assemble," said Mr. Dickinson. "No business can exist with out a getting together. What is more, any action the proposed assembly- may take will not be final. All candidates indorsed by that gathering must submit ;$hatr names to the voters in the direct 'primary. If the work of the assembly ia no satisfactory and proper recommen dations are not made, the voters still Jiaue the right to turn down the work of the convention. What more do you want? "The large majority of the Republicans In the stave favor retaining the primary law. If the" delegates are selected in open meeting, what can be the objection to the holding of an assembly? No rea sonable objection, certainly, can be urged to the proposed plan of procedure." Before proposing & motion that a com mittee of one from each ward and three from the county precincts be appointed to formulate a programme of procedure 'in organising a county assembly, Mr. : Manley declared himself in favor of the direct primary law, but Insisted that the members of the county central com mittee, being the- legal representatives and the governing body of the party, had the right to prescribe rules and regula tions for the government of the party organization. Mr. Manley strongly fa rvored the appointment of a committee "to determine a plan of action preliminary to the assembling of a gathering which should recommend proper candidates to the voters for nomination. The amended Lockwood motion having been adopted, the committee by unani mous vote elected (McKinley Mitchell sec retary to succeed James JT. K-er-tchem, Who resigned several weeks ago. At last ' night's meeting Mr. ICertchem noted as temporary secretary. On motion of Mr. Xiockwood, the follow ing committee was appointed by . Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the com mittee, to prepare suitable resolutions on the death of J. T. Gregg, a member of the committee: Charles BL Lock wood, T. W. Corder, F. J. Mlddleton, G. K McCord and J. F. Singer. WOC1D-BE COMMISSIONERS OUT 3Iany Wonld Succeed Oswald West on Kail road Boards, i Numerous candidates are aspiring to the Republican nomination for State Railroad Commissioner to succeed Os wald West, Democratic member of the commission, whose term expires January next. Mr. West, the retiring member, has repeatedly declared that he will not seek an election to the office, to which he was appointed by ex-Governor Cham berlain. Nevertheless it is more than likely that he will be the candidate of the minority party for the office. With the Republicans, however, there will be an abundance of candidates from which to make a selection. Rumor has it that W. H. Hurlburt, formerly general passenger agent of the O. R. & N. Com pany, and unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for this office against Clyde B. Altchlson two years ago, may seek the nomination this Fall as west's successor. Friends of El C. Kirkpatrick. of Polk County, an active Western Oregon Re publican, are touting him as the most formidable candidate that could be named for West's place. With the pos Bible exception of Carey Hayter, a newt; paper publisher of Dallas, who is said to be a candidate for -State Printer. Mr. Kirkpatrick is reported to be the only Polk County aspirant for a- state office at the coming election. Still another man who is being sug gested for this nomination at the hands of the Republican voters of the state Is A. K. Slocum, of this city. Retirement of C. A. Malboeuf as dis trict freight agent for the Southern Pa cific Company started the report that he would be a candidate on the Republican ticket for Railroad Commissioner. This report has been denied positively by the ex-railroad man, who has declared that his retirement from the Harriman road was actuated entirely by a desire to en gage In- the real estate business and not an ambition to hold public office. This is only a perlimlnary list of the candidates suggested In connection with the nomination for this office. As the campaign develops it may be expected that other aspirants will appear. OPEN SHOP SUSTAINED COXTRT UPHOLDS RIGHT OF EVERY MAX TO WORK. Street Railway Men's Union: Forbid den to Cause Seceders' Dis charge by Company. CHICAGO, March 18. (Special.) "Every one has the right to enjoy the fruits and advantages of his own industry, enter prise and credit, broadly speaking. This was the keynote of an important deoision handed down today by the Ap pellate Court concerning old employes of the Chicago Railways Company. The do cleion practically upholds "open shop" as against dosed shop. Former members of the Amalgamated Association of Street & Electric Railway Employes of America filed the bill In the Circuit Court some time ago asking that division No. 241 be enjoined from "con spiring to wrongfully and unlawfully do any act to cause their discharge from the Chicago Railways Company because of the fact that they had resigned as members of the union." The court dismissed the bill for want of equity, but the Appellate Court re versed the finding. BIG COUGAR STEALS TRAP Linn County Trapper Finds Lone Foot as Clew to Wild Animal.

It is the Bouomi poncy, in me purchases made by the Electric Bond & Share Company, for the properties acquired to be turned over to a holding corporation. In the Portland instance the gas company was turned over to the American Power & Light Company, which also owns the Astoria gas plant. F. G. Sykes is the head Of t h R Amnr1rin Twa jr. t j y. . Co.. and is also vice-president of the Electric Bond & Share Company. It is understood that when the transfer of the Northwestern Corporation properties Bast of the Cascades is made It will be to a holding corporation. Mutual Interest Plan On. Through the sale there also comes ' a sort of mutuality of interest in a large number of properties in the Northwest. The names of stockholders in the Port land Railway Light & Power Comnanv and in the Oregon- Electric are found In tne list of stockholders and directors of the Electric Bond & Share Company and likewise in those of the General Electrio Company. As far as the Oregon Electrio and Port land ,Railway, Light & Power ComDanv are concerned, however, they are not di rectly involved in the recent operations of either Byllesby & Company or the Elec tric Bond & Share Company. The Elec tric Bond & Share Company, In addition to the Portland & Astoria holdings and those acquired from the . Northwestern Corporatipn, it Is also understood, has acquired the electric light nlant in North Takima from the Northwest Light & rower Company, a Strahorn corpora tion that has been allied with the North Coast railway operations. These acquirements of large holdings are taken in Portland as accounting for the recent appointment of Guy W. Talbot, general manager of the Oregon Electric, as Northwest representative of the Elec tric Bond & Share Company and of the American Power & Light Company. The deal makes him the Western executive head in an extensive group of public utility properties. While it is understood that the division of properties and the checking up of the Northwest Corporation properties in the interests of the Electric CBond & Share Company have been left to Mr. Talbot at this end of the line, yesterday he refused to discuss the negotiations that are under way. Treasurer O'Brien, of H. M. Byllesby & Co.. was equally reticent. Mr. O'Brien said that the negotiations in which his company is interested had not yet pro gressed to the stage where an official announcement could be made. He said, however, that the Byllesby Company had secured offices in the Lewis building and that Mr. Groesbeck would be the resident manager. Mr. Byjlesby. he also said, ex pected to arrive heije about April 1. CHEHALIS WANTS ROADS J. E. Leonard Is President of Newly Formed Association. CHEHALIS, Wash., March 18. (Spe cial.)

Abraham Lincoln Said: "Ere long the most valuable of all arts will be the art of deriving a com fortable subsistence from the smallest area of soil. No community, whose every member possesses this art can ever be a victim of oppression in any of its forms. Such community will be -alike independent of crowned kings, money kings, and land kings." Half a century ago our great Presl- dent pointed out the only salvation ot his wage-earning countrymen. With the keener competition and higher price of living that exists today, the words of the immortal Lincoln may be appre ciated as never before. Back to the Soil. There is only one answer to thl great economical question that has split in two the great political organizations of the country: GO BACK TO THI-1 SOIL. We do not mean by this that f ou should give up the pleasures of city lfe, but we do think that the one best bet for the average wage-earner la to own a nice fertile tract of fruit land, within a few miles of the city. We Say: "Come out and look at our beantl ful ten-acre tracts on the railroad, not far from Portland. The land is all cleared, ready for the trees. These tracts are surrounded on all sides by beautiful orchards and experts declare this land to be unexcelled for apples, pears, cherries or walnuts. Remember that this soil Is very rich. There are no rocks or gravel on it and we posi tively guarantee it to he first-class apple land. It is the kind of land an experienced farmer would buy on Bight." Do It Now. . We will sell you this land at a F'rice much lower than uncleared -and nferior land is bringing. We will ac cept a small payment down and a small amount each month. Make up your mind and see about this today. There are only a few tracts left and we are sure they will not last long. We will be pleased to show you the property.
