THE MOIiXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910. CIVIC CLUBS URGE OPEN COMPETITION School Board Asked to Reduce Cost of Fireproof Buildings in Future. FIGURES ARE PRESENTED Time for Frame Structure Past, Sa?a John II. Hak Director Sa bln Sajr Teaching Should Be . Board's Chief Concern. Going on record as faTorlng the adoption of a system of open competi tion by architects in submitting plans far public school bu!ldlnfr and declar ing that the school board should use all possible means of reducing the cost of fireproof buildings In the future, representatives of 17 civic Improvement clubs mat In the convention hall of tha Commercial Club building Thursday night and discussed the subject for three hours. Members of the school board Joined In the discussion, which at times be came heated. On account of the early arrival of the members of the schoo! board and the unfinished condition t the proposed by-laws and constttut on. a permanent organization of the At filiated Improve ment Clubs was postponed until next Wednesday night. The meeting was presided over by Or. Hamilton Mead In tbe absence of T. T. Clear, who had been acting as temporary chairman. Average Costs Diseased. C. A. Currle. of the Portland Heights Improvement Club, prepared the way for the discussion by presenting several Instances Intended to show that the average cost of public school buildings In Portland had been excessively high. Public school buildings of the most mortem fireproof design In many of the cities of the East were cited aa exam ples of economy, convenience and adap- 1 lability, and It waa shown by his data that an ordinary sised room could be built In accordance with fireproof reg ulations for not to exceed 14000. or 20 rents a cubic foot. He Inferred that the school buildings had cost tbe tax payers of Portland excessive sums. John II. Hank was or the opinion that it was time to discontinue the building of frame school buildings and that It was the duty of the School Board and tbe taxpayers to Insist on fireproof con struction In the future. Mr. Haas said that he felt that the people of his dis trict. Mount Tabor, had not always re ceived the consideration they had asked from the Board and Invited members of the Board to speak. Director Sabin. the, first to go te tbe defense of the Board, said that the Board had bad many things to contend with In the past and that tbe members were endeavoring to do all within their power to ft better buildings and to Improve the .grounds and sanitation and safety of the pupils. Teaching More Important. "Elaborate buildings are nice and cost money and we will build them If the tax payers want them. said Mr. Sabln. "But. the soul of a school, in my opinion, is in the teschlng and training given the po pt'm. I think our buildings are reason ably safe. The pupils are well drilled for fires snd under ordinary circum stances there will be no danger in our present school buildings.' He said that one reason whg more at tention had not been given to the Idea of concrete buildings ;as that the nature of tbe material -was not fully understood either by the Board or by the taxpayers untfj recently. Director Campbell defended tbe course of the Board In not complying with de mands for building concrete schoolhouses. He said that the cost wss much higher snd that In making up the budget of ex peases for the year the levy of S mills would not raim sufficient funds to con struct the kind of buildings some of the districts had asked for. Mr. Campbell said that he was glad thst the taxpayers of Portland had decided to come out fist footed tn regard to the acbool situation. Resolutions were passed demanding that publicity be given to architects' plnns for school building In the future. It was also decided to appoint a committee of six from members of tbe organisation to confer with the School Board from time to time In regard to the subject of city schools.

LIKES CONVENTION SYSTEM State Chairman Glad to Hear Roose velt In Convention and Professes Equal Zeal In Driving Crooks Out of Republican Party. NEW YORK. Aug. 26. The conference on the night before tbe Republican State Committee meeting, in which ex-Presi dent Roosevelt wss voted down and Vice- President Sherman chosen to be tem porary chairman of the convention, as sumed still another complexion last night. Timothy Woodruff, stats chairman, in a statement given out from Republican state headquarters', puts the responsibil ity for the action up to Lloyd C. Grls com. chairman of the Republican county committee, and denies that he had even an Intimation of any plan to present the nsme of Colonel B?osevelt to the com mittee ur.tll Mr. Griscom made the actual nomlnatl n. Griscom Spoke Too Late. In his statement Woodruff says prece dent wss followed in the selection of Sherman aa chairman and that Griscom moved to substitute the name of Roose velt for that of Sherman practically af ter the committee had acted. "President Taffwas In no way involved In this matter." Mr. Woodruff says, "as the members of the state committee acted entirely within their authority in select ing a temporary chairman without, as far as I know, a single one of them con sulting with him about It; but In view of the apparent affront to Mr. Roosevelt, caused by the action of Mr. Griscom, I felt called upon as chairman of the com mlttee, to send an explanatory letter to the ex-President." A copy of the letter accompanies the statement. It gives an explanation of the circumstances preceding and dur ing the committee meeting ana eaya the sctlon was "In no sense Intended as an act of hostility toward you nor one of reflection upon you." Then the statement reads in part : "I know of no party principle upon which we are at present divided In this state, except thst involve in th proposal to abolish the convention sys tem of msklng nom'nations and to sub stitute therefor the direct nomlnstlon plan, which has been characterised as the device of the demagogue and the millionaire.'

Indorsement by Assembly of 1200 Men of AU Occupations Better Than by Few Lawyers. PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 25, i910. (To the Kd Uor. ) I note in The Ore gonlan a challenge from Henry E. Mc Ginn to engage In a Joint discussion with him oa the Issues of the present political campaign. Judge McGinn's standards in these matters are different from mine.- I think I am tight in ssy ing that there has been no case in the 20 years that I have lived In Oregon of a candidate for Judicial office tak ing the stump for the discussion of po litical questions, except as Jud?e Mc Ginn baa created such a precedent In this campaign. It is my view that the dignity of the Judicial office la sucn thst sn aspirant for the bench cannot properly take the stump for the dis cussion of political questions, and es pecially that he cannot with propriety engage in such a Joint discussion as is proposed by Judge McGinn. It is contended by him that I shou'd be denied the Republican nomination, because I was Indorsed by the recent assembly. That Is. that I should be de GRISCOMTQ BLAM feated because 1200 of my fcllow-cltl-sens have spoken well of me. Tet In the next breath Judge McGinn tells the people that he favors the nomina tion by the Republicans of two Demo crats, whose candidacy was launched by an assembly of 116 lawyers, and from which the general public was ex cluded by the calL There are 1500 lawyers in Oregon, yet the 11 who par ticipated in the .lawyers' assembly ca.l themselves "The Bar of Oregon," and arrogate to themselves the nomination of Supreme Judge, to the exclusion of all of the rest of the electorate. Tha assembly which recommended me and my colleagues on the Judicial ticket was composed of merchants, farmers, physicians, clergymen, lawyers, paint ers, carpenters, etc, who had been chosen to represent the Republican electors of the different sections of the state from which they came. The as sembly to which Judge McGinn gives the stamp of his approval was self selected, and represented no one. It did not undertake to recommend can didates to be voted for at the, direct primary of either party, but it assume the province of nominating, without any ratification of its acta by anyonv The assembly which recommended me was held In strict subordination to tha provisions of the direct primary law. and its recommendations are subject to ratification or rejection by the peo ple at a primary election, at which all qualified electors are entitled to vote. The question at issue between us on this subject, therefore, is whether Su preme Judges are to be selected by th? lawyers only and by less than 10 per cent of the lawyers in the state at that or whether they are to be selected by the people-at-large In the manner pre scribed by law, and with which the vot ers are familiar. The charge of disloyalty to popular government Is easy to make and easy to deny. Actions speak louder than words. I have never withheld my vote from any candidate qf my party who had been nominated at a direct pri mary. I will accept the result of the primary to be held this year and will support the ticket nominated at the primary, whether my name Is on It or not. Will Judge McGinn and others who are fighting me agree to be bound In this same manner? If not, I pass up to my fellow-citizens the question of whether they can honorably partici pate in the approaching primary. For 20 years I have earned my HvlnR by the practice of law In Oregon. I have refused no client's Suit because he was poor, rich, or unpopular. Un like some others. It has not been my practice to demand from a poor man a contingent fee of half the cause of action as the price of my services. No client has ever controlled or attempted to control my conduct as a man, or my action as a citizen. If I shall be elected to the bench I can and will dispense Justice without bias, prejudice, or fear. If Judge McGinn's speeches are cor rectly reported, and if his Interviews are as published, he has relieved me of the necessity of calling the attention of the people to his political record. If the facts are as stated In these In terviews and speeches, no man in Ore gon Is less entitled than he to the confidence of the people, and no one Is more unreliable as an adviser of the people In the selection of their Judges. It Is proper to say. In conclusion, that I sat In- the Republican Assembly without desire or thought of becoming the csndldate for any office. When the work of the assembly was al most completed my name was present ed for Justice of the Supreme Court, without request from me, and I was Indorsed by the assembly without so licitation on my part. I thereupon left the floor of tbe assembly and did not further participate In Its deliberations. 1 understand the fact to be that Judge Burnett, who Is also the subje.t of Judge McGinn's attacks, was en dorsed by the sssembly without solici tation on his part. I am further ad vised that several months ago some friends of Judge Burnett came from Salem to Portland and talked with several gentlemen in this city, with a view to Judge Burnett's availability at a candidate for the Supreme Bench that Judge McGinn was one of those consulted, and that he favored Judge Burnett's nomination, strongly urging upon his friends that Judge Burnett be come a candidate. His recent attack on Judge Burnett, In view of this cir cumstance, confirms the Impression which some of us hsve long had as to the value and stability of Judge Mc Ginn's opinions. WALLACE M'CAMANT. BnONCHO-BUSTERSBUSY COWBOY RIDERS AT CHEYEN'XE FOR FRONTIER DAYS. One Man Severely Injured Trying to Conquer Bucking; Animal. Four Are Thrown. CHETENNBX Wyo., Aug. 26. The worst horses seen here at a frontier celebration in years weeded out the contestants in the world's broncho busting championship today. Four riders were thrown, and one, Verne Elliott, waa severely injured. The wholesale "piling" of the crack riders of the West is a thing unprece dented In the championship contest, where the contest Is usually decided on the finest points of graceful and cer tain horsemanship and where "riding on his spurs" or "pulling leather" is sufficient to disqualify a contestant. A buffalo yearling upheld the honor of bis species by throwing all who at tempted to ride him. Helen Brown fell from her horse in the woman's relay race but waa not seriously hurt. A 3-year-old steer, fresh from the Northern ranges, deeply resented the advances' of a moving-picture operator from New York and made a wild rush for the operator, who beat the steer to the fence by Inches. The event of tbe day was the wild horse race with twenty entries. TRUNKS OF ACTRESS HELD Customs Officials to Inspect Mrs. Nat Goodwin's Baggage. NEW YORK. Aug. 26.

ASSEMBLY IS DENOUNCED Speaker Charges That Corporations Packed Lawyers' Meeting, Which Indorsed Man Who Holds Po sition Thnt Is . Sought. Anti-assembly candidates addressed a public meeting at St Johns Thursday night, the principal speaker of the occa sion being Henry E. McGinn, candidate for Circuit Judge In Department No. I. Mr. McGinn attacked the assembly, the corporations and such courts and law yers as he described as being at the beck and 'call of the corporate Interests. He charged that the recent lawyers' assem bly waa packed by the corporations for the purpose of Indorsing Circuit Judge Cleland for re-election. In denouncing the assembly of lawyers which recommended Judge Cleland, the speaker said: "That gathering was packed by the corporations and there is no disputing the fact. There were such men in It as Colonel Eddy and a fellow named Smith, servants of the O. R. & N. Company, and there was this young fellow Altchi son, now Railroad Commissioner, who used to work for the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, the concern that robbed poor old man Marquam of his fortune. "These men never practiced law a day In their lives. And there was a police man named Sherwood who was admitted te the bar back In Kansas some place, but who never practiced. The corpora tions had those men and others like them in the meeting and had them there for a purpose. That purpose was ful filled In the selection of John B. Cleland for another six years on the bench of the Circuit Court "Judge Cleland, whose place I am af ter. Is known as the notorious non-suiter. That is why the cold chills run down tbe spine of a lawyer when his case Is assigned to Judge Cleland, provided that case be against the corporations. A cor poration lawyer ought to vote for Judge Cleland. He has had a lot of good out of him In the past and can expect more In the future. But if your interests and those of the corporations are not Identi cal, then in September, at the primary election, do away with this man of non suits. Do away with Clellandism. Vote for me." Corporations Masters, He Says. Taking up lawyers who are interested In the assembly, the speaker attributed ulterior motives to them, ' saying they were really working for their masters, the corporations. He declared that Dante in his Inferno painted no hell bad enough for the indemnity Insurance companies which are represented by Ralph W. Wil bur, and which, the speaker averred, prey upon the employes of great cor porations who are maimed and injured at their work. He recited an Instance of where one of these companies paid $1250 to a client of his to prevent ex posure of Its nefarious methods. "These corporations take Infinite pains In protecting themselves from the Just and righteous claims of the sick and maimed." he asserted. "They even subsidize the doctors, and there are many doctors, standing high in the profession in this city, who you will find In damage suits against corpora tions. They get the confidence of the maimed and dying while treating them and then appear on the witness stand later in behalf of the corporations from which rightful damages are sought "I say these things merely to expose to you a part of the vast legal machin ery of such concerns as the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company and these Insurance companies of Wilbur's designed td beat the poor employe out of redress when he Is maimed. "The corporations have even in vaded the Jury box. There have been no farmers on our Juries lately. They want merchants and friends of corpo rations, and it has come to a pass where we no longer have trials by Juries, but by detectives. "In closing I wish to say that it Is my prayer that we beat every man on the assembly ticket Not because those candidates are bad in themselves most of them are good men but because of the principles and special privileges for which they stand." Other speakers were County Judge Cleeton, Grant B. Dimick, candidate for Governor, and Sam B. Martin, candidate for County Recorder. MRS.
