THE MOKimSXir OEEGOJIAIf, WEDNESDAY. JULY ZO. 1910. 11 LAWYERS SELECT SUPREME JUDGES Bar Assembly Names Four Jus tices Now in Office for Re-election. TERM LENGTHS SPECIFIED Nominations Are Made With Vtmost Harmony and by TJnanimous Vote "Xon-Polittcal Judic iary" Phrase on Ballots. Lawyers from all parts of Oregon, more of them from without the city than within, assembled in Department No. 1 at the Courthouse yesterday after noon and placed in nomination for elec tion to the Supreme bench of the state next November the justices who will go out of office at that time: Judf?a Frank A. Moore, for six years; Thomas A. Mc Bride, for four years, to fill the unex pired term of Judge Bean; Judge Will R. King, for six years under the act of 1909. and Judge W. H. Slater for four years, under the act of 1909. The record made by the secretary, W. J. Slnnott, showed 175 attorneys present. A. C. Woodcock acted as chair man. The nominations and a speech by ex Governor Folk, of Missouri, who arrived in Portland at 2:30, took only about an hour. Attorney Colvigr nominated Jus lice King, Thomas O'Day, formerly Judge of the local Circuit Court, nomi nated Justice McBride; r. Soils Cohen nominated Justice Moore, and Attorney Julius Bllverstone nominated Justice Slater, remarking that he Is of the opposite political party. length of Terms Stated. Attorney A. E. Clark then railed at tention to the fact that it would be best to state in nomination the length of the term each candidate is to hold office, as two judges are to be elected for the four-year term and two for the six. Colonel E. Hofer seconded all four nominations and Charles J. Schnabel moved that the nominations be closed and that the assembly proceed to ballot. Attorney Clark moved as a, substitute that the secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous ballot of the assembly for the four candidates. A motion that the chairman appoint a committee of five to name candidates in case of the death or disability of those nominated did not meet with fa vor, and was withdrawn. There was difference of opinion as to whether the words "nonpartisan," "non political" or "Independent" should go on the ballot after the names of tho candidates, but upon motion of Judge M. L. Pipes it was voted to use the phrase, "Kob Political Judiciary." Assembly' Platform Given. A motion by Attorney Cohen that the chairman appoint an executive commit tee of five, the chairman and aecretary to be ex-officlo members, was carried. This committee will have charge of the campaign, and will mail literature to the voters of the state in an endeavor to secure votes. The attorneys were asked to contribute as they saw fit. It was voted to have the assembly's platform printed tot the local newspa pers. It reads: "To the Voters of the state of Oregon: The State Bar Association of the State of Oregon, on June 1, 1310, adopted the following resolution: Hasolvsd, That the State Bar Association Is In favor of the principle of nominating and electing; judges without regard to their political opinions or affiliations, because Judges are required to decide questions pre sented to them upon legal and not upon political considerations. In order to accomplish that result, we favor the nomination of judges for the Su preme bench by a proper and legal assem bly called for that purpose only, composed of lawysrs representing the 'bar of every section of the state, without regard to politics. In order to carry into effect the principle of the resolution the association appointed a committee which was authorized to call an assembly of at least loo voters, under the provisions of the statute of this state, for the purpose of nominating four judges of the Supreme Court, to be voted for at the coming election in November, and pro vided that all the lawyers admitted to prac tice In the Supreme Court of the state, and who were legal electors within the state, should be eligible as members of this as sembly. The committee so appointed met and Issued a call for an assembly, to meet in Portland at a o'clock July 19. and the call was printed In the public prints, and a copy of it sent by mall to every lawyer In the state whose address and name was found upon the roll of attorneys on file In the Supreme Court record. Purposes and Objects Outlined. In pursuance of this call the assembly met at the Courthouse In Portland, and nominated the following candidates for the Supreme Bench. Frank A. Moore, for six years, to succeed himself; Thomas A. McBride, for four years, to fill the unexpired term of Judge R. S. Bean; Will R. King, for four years, under act of luity; W. X. slater, for four years, tin der act ot llWtt. This assembly, in presenting these can didates to Oregon voters deems it proper to make a brief statement of Its purposes and objects. We believe, as the resolutions In dicate, that the time Is ripe for eliminating political considerations In the selection of Judge. Klnce the duty ot a judge Is to de cide causes according to the law of the land, and since the law must be the same to all men of whatever condition, station or opin ion, it follows that the Judge eannot prop erly be Influenced by politics In tho dis charge of his duties, and since the court t-annot properly promote or obstruct political policies, good or bad. in deciding causes before it. there is no rational ground for the selection of judges by the machinery or usages of political parties. Wa believe that a man's political opinion ot affiliation should neither r-e a bar nor a qualification for a judicial office. Movement Not Temporary. The movement now initiated is not de signed as a temporary expedient, but Is In tended to be urged, and we hope with sue ce. for all time to come. Cnder the present state of the law, politi cal parties have a right, which will doubt less be exercised, to nominate candidate as judges of the courts of this state. While not denying that right, we assert also the right to present to the voters the principle which we advocate la a manner and by a means within both the letetr and the spirit of the statutes of this state. This assembly is composed of cltisens of the State of Oregon, having at heart its welfare and the honest and impartial ad ministration ot its laws. Wo have the same interest as the general public, and no oppos ing Interests In an upright and capabee Ju diciary. Wo believe that the non-partisan selection of the Judiciary now and in the future will tend to elevate the dignity and Independence of tho courts, and that the plan adopted by us will enabls the voters of the state, without political obstruction or Interference, to select candidates for Judi cial offices, rather upon their merits and upon their qualifications as judges than Upon their political affiliations on the strength of the parties to -which they may adhere. We present the nominees of this assembly to the voters, which confidence in their ability. Integrity and learning, and with the HSurance If they are elected by the voters that the causa of Justice will be promoted, and a principle approved by the people which will he beneficial In the future." Farmers Fight for Water. KLAMATH FAT.I.S, July 19. (Special.) A petition signed by many Lauigell Valley farmers asking that the rights to the use of the waters of the streams of that part of the county be adjudicated has been filed with the State Board of Control. For years the flood waters of Lost River have been used by the farm ers of the valley for irrigating their lands. This river is the natural outlet of Clear Lake, which the United States Reclamation Service has converted into a large reservoir by building a retaining dam across the outlet, thus depriving Lost River of its natural flow. The land owners effected say they are entitled to sufficient flow of water In the stream to irrigate the lands formerly watered by It- Under protest the Reclamation Serv ice let loose a large amount of water this year and it is understood that the serv ice does not deny that the landowners have such rights, while at the same time the request has not been officially recognized or legally established. "WATSON" NOT FLATTERED Couple at Hotel Portland Pointed Ont as Roosevelt, Jr., and Bride.

CATSUP BOTTLE EXPLODES Tragedy Reported to Police by "Woman In Next Room. The town clock had just struck 12:30 and the attaches at police headquarters bad begun to nestle themselves in comfortable positions lor a "still" night. The silence was unbroken save for the intermittent tinkling of telephone bells. Suddenly the tranquil scene was thrown Into one of confusion by the stern inter rogation of Operator Jenkins to a woman at the other end of the telephone. "Who did the shooting is he there?" asked "Jenks," in tones that vibrated throughout the station house. "Take it cool tell me, lady, where is the murder?" Then he hastily scribbled the reply: "Miss Lucy Bronson, Ohio Hotel, First and Madison streets." "Murder1 Room 1 Ohio Hotel!" shouted the operator. "The gun man is still in the room!" A moment later Patrol Driver O'Brien was "layln' th" gad" on the steeds that took the patrol wagon loaded with a dozen of policemen to the hotel. Arriving at their destination, the po licemen, revolvers in t ands, dashed up the stairway, expecting the capture of a murderer whose crime would be enrolled in the annals of police history. Their hearts sank at the appearance of a woman, hidden in the shadows of the hallway, in her night clothing, who said: "I'm sorry, gentlemen there is no mur der. It was only a catsup bottle ex ploded! I was asleep and heard the report like a gun in the next room. I got up and after a while I looked into the room and I thought the catsup was someone's brains."

At present their lines make a network from Walla Walla to Pendleton and from Pendleton to North Yakima. In addition their lines will run down both banks of the Columbia. Electric Plants Secured. The plants already purchased consist of electirc light and gas plants, power plants and electric railroads.
