THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. JULY 3, 1912. II SAYS HE STAYS Ifl RACE, OF COURSE Democracy Declared to Have Shown Its Elements Cannot Be Reunited. CALL SOON TO-BE ISSUED Colonel's Statement Says Baltimore Nominee Can Succeed Only With Aid or Such Men as Sulli van and Taggart. OTSTER BAT, N. T.. July 2. "I shall, of course, continue to stand for the Ttrnri-3lv nomination." said Colonel Roosevelt, after he heard tonight of the nomination or w ooarow wnson. The ex-President voiced his belief that events in the Democratic as well as the Republican convention aemon fstr&red the. need of a new party. , The National convention of the new party will be held In Chicago, It was deluded today, probably during the first we.-k of August. "Before I left Chicago, and again at Oyster Bay, I stated that the tnira party movement and my candidacy would not be In any way affected by the outcome at Baltimore," says the Colonel In his statement. "I shall, of course, continue to stand for the pro" KresBlve nomination. I have Just been going over with Senator Dixon the call which is about to be Issued by th pro viHional committee for the progressive National convention. "To mv mind, what has gone on in Baltimore for the past ten days has shown the utterly irreconclllable nature of the elements within the Democratic partv. It also has shown that any nomination obtained at Baltimore could, after all. be obtained only by the sup port of men like Mr. Taggart In Indiana and Mr. Sullivan in Illinois, and the success of the candidate at the polls, without regard to his personality, would be conditioned not only upon the hearty support of Mr. Taggart and Mr. Sulli van and their colleagues and repre sentatives In every other state, from New York to Colorado, but would also be, conditioned upon these men succeed ing In carrying their several state tick ets and In perpetuating themselves In control of the Democratic party. "Under these conditions I feel that the events at Baltimore, like the events at Chicago, prove the absolute need of a new. Nation-wide, non-sectional party which shall In good faith stand for the Interests of the people as a whole, and I shall In far-reaching fashion, alike In the Nation and the several states, take the lead In the movement for social, political and industrial justice, a move ment which must Include a broad, con servative governmental policy which shall look to both the present-day economic needs of our people as a whole and the necessity for the fullest possi ble commercial development, both at home and abroad." . . Colonel Roosevelt would not dlscuas the victory of Governor Wilson, nor would he say a word regarding the Democratic convention In addition to his reference to it In his statement.'

With nearly J 100.000.000 in the cash drawer of the Treasury, officials today expressed the belief that it will not be necessary to Issue additional bonds for the construc tion of the Panama Canal for nearly a year.

RAIMOND. Wash.. July 2. (Spe cial.) One of the biggest booster meetings In this county was held Sat urday night In the Woodmen Hall at Menlo. 10 miles above this city. The occasion was the celebration of the re sult of a school election which select ed Menlo as the site for a district high school. About 250 residents of the upper valley, together with representa tives from Raymond and South Bend, sat down to an elaborate banquet. Judge Sol Smith, of the Superior Court of this district, was toastmaster. J. J. Haggerty, the pioneer banker of Raymond; A. C. Little, ex-Mayor, and Judge C. N. Fuqua, of the same city, and E. H. Wright and F. D. Coudan, of South Bend, addressed the meet ing. Responses for the Menlo people were made by K. W. Lilly. M. V. Bul lard and J. D. O'Nell. Brownsville Won't Pave Streets. BROWNSVILLE. Or., July 2. (Spe cial.) Brownsville will not pave this year. This question was settled at a special meeting of the City Council held last night, when the proposition to pave nearly a mile of the principal streets came up for a test vote and the proposition was defeated by a vote of five to one. Recently at a special election the city voted to bond the city for $5000 to provide funds with which to pay for the improvement of the intersections-of streets .when the same were paved, by a vote of three to one, but this action of the electorate failed to impress the Council suffi ciently to cause that body to order the Improvement contemplated by the people. .

BURNS DENIES HE HAS SPIES III GAMP Detective Testifies No One Betrayed Secrets of Labor Leaders. DEFENSE SOON TO BEGIN Prosecution of Clarence S. Darrow Expects to Conclude Case Today. Lawyer Fined for Attack on Court. LOS ANGELES, July 2. A mild ex amination of William J. Burns, the de tective, and an outbreak directed at Judge Hutton by Attorney H. H. Appel, of the defense, which resulted In a fine of $25 for contempt, were features of today's session of the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow. DUtrlct Attorney Fredericks announced that the prose cution probably would rest its case to morrow afternoon. Burns testified that he knew of only one man in his employ who was a spy in the oamp of th McNamara defense and that he had no men in his employ who betrayed the secrets of labor lead ers In Chicago or Indianapolis. He said that he was cognizant at all times of the trap laid for Darrow by Detective Guy Biddlnger, who took Darrow's money while pretending to bStray the secrets of the McNamara prosecution.! Claim Made to All Rewards. Asked concerning his claim to the rewards offered for the arrest and con viction of the dynamiters of the Los Angeles Times building. Burns said that he was entitled to all of them. He re ferred Ironically to the manner in which some of the rewards had "melted like snow before a Summer sun" since the conviction of the McNamaras. Burns was excused from the stand 10 minutes after the afternoon session convened. At the noon recess he was served with a subpena by the defense and Attorney Rogers announced that he would place the detective on the stand the second day after the defense be gan the Introduction of its evidence. William J. Porter, a newspaper man, testified to meeting Mr. Darrow and Detective Biddlnger on the morning of August 15 last, when Biddlnger said Darrow had paid him $500. T. M. Mannatt, paying teller of a Los Angeles bank, told of checks received by the defendant from Frank Morris, of the American Federation of Labor, which were deposited in his bank. Obstreperous Lawyer Fined. One of Attorney Appel's objections severely criticised Assistant District Attorney Ford and Judge Hutton or dered the -lawyer to sit down. Instead" of complying, Mr. Appel launched into a censure of the court. After the fine had been assessed. Ap pel said he would not pay it and asked permission to purge himself of con tempt before some other court. Judge Hutton said his action was final and that unless the fine was paid by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, he would have the clerk Issue an execu tion. E. R. Parmelee. clerk In the Justice s Court where Bert Franklin was ar raigned, testified that Lecompte Davis, an attorney for the McNamara defense, had furnished $10,000 cash bail for Franklin. Guy Yonkln, one of the men whom Franklin said he "approached" with a view of bribing him to vote for a ver dict for the defense in the McNamara trial, corroborated Franklin's testimony as to the alleged attempt to influence his vote as a Juror. COLONEL'S SAILS CLIPPED (Continued From First Page.) this convention and the majority was with Bryan on that Issue. Even before Clark had attained his hi maximum vote, and when he reached it, the enthusiasm among the Aoiairatea and audience was with vvii- nn Probably greater enthusiasm was never shown for any delegate In any convention than was manifest tor wn son time and again during the progress of the Baltimore gathering. Enthusiasm "Wins Day. . And enthusiasm proved to be the big r.otnr In Wilson's favor. That en thusiasm Is in part explained by the disclosure that many a delegate here nitiior instructions to vote for Clark at heart favored Wilson, yet among them were a great many wno couia not in the early balloting desert the Speak er. a tho mntest wore on and one roll call succeeded another, delegates favoring wnnn. hut Instructed for Clark, began to feel themselves released. Montana was the first instructed Clark delega- if ' -, ''-r!) ' mm FRANCIS AND MILDRED AUBREY. tion to break away, its instructions allowing much discretion to the dele gates themselves, but when the break started, each . succeeding rollcall showed Wilson gains, ' as individual delegates satisfied their "consciences that they had met their obligations when they- had supported, Clark for 20 or 30 rollcalls, only to see him lose ground on each successive hallot. Telegrrama Poor la Overmlsht. When finally Clark was distanced by Wilson, the New Jersey man began to develop greater speed, and Clark lost correspondingly. There was a tempor ary halt just before adjournment last night which puzzled everyone, but af ter a night of reflection, during which thousands of telegrams poured in upon the Clark delegations and upon others not supporting Wilson, a great change of heart too place and the Wilson stam pede started with the first rollcall today. . ... , The Idaho delegation had its ear to the ground and for the first time voted solidly for Wilson. Illinois, next on the roll, then swung to Wilson, and the stampede was on. Too much credit cannot be given Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, for helping out the Wilson forces at the critical moment. From the .time Illinois flopped, only a little while was required to make Wil son's victory complete. When he passed 600 votes, no force in the convention could check him. On the 45th rollcall Wilson received 633 votes. The Under wood people at-that moment held the balance of power and used It. Through Senator Bankhead, they released all the Underwood delegates and that in sured Wilson's nomination. Underwood Hostile .to Clark. Had Underwood swung his forces to Clark when the Speaker reached his highest vote on th,e 13th ballot, there is little doubt that Clark then or soon thereafter would have been nominated. Underwood proved hostile to Clark and refused to aid him. But it is not upon Underwood that responsibility for Clark's failure Tests; rather It Is upon the shoulders of Clark's campaign managers, who have blundered from one to another from the beginning of the convention. Clark without much doubt would have been nominated on an early bal lot if he had not divided his strength on the inconsequential fight over the temporary chairmanship. By dividing, he invited the hostility of Bryan and did not help himself with the conserva tive element back of Parker. His lack of firmness at that hour cost him his nomination. Had he arrayed himself with Bryan, Bryan would have been unable to split with him; New York would not have cast Its curse upon his I candidacy and Clark, being by all odds would have been nominated once he se cured the support of the majority. Other Clark blunders need not be enumerated. They only serve to show what Clark's opponents have contended from the first, that Clark Is too much of a blunderer to be entrusted with the Presidency too much a blunderer t3 be nominated for that office in a year when the party expects success. Wilson Free From Boaslsm. Wilson's victory was a clean one In every respect. It was won without the aid of the bosses; In fact, Wilson re jected all proposals made by the bosses: he declined to enter Into any deal with them. Once he began to climb, he kept steadily on the upward path and only once hesitated. That was late last night. Prolongation of the session gave full opportunity for the delegates to feci the popular pulse, and the thousands of telegrams that poured In upon them last night and this morning had much to do with the final result. The allies failed In their plan to block Wilson largely because they had no suitable candidate with whom to defeat the New Jersey man. Clark would not do, for his candi dacy early proved a failure. Kern, Un derwood, Harmon, Marshall, Foss, Gay nor and even Bryan did not fill the need; they did not arouse enthusiasm; they did not appeal to the progressive element, and that element was In the majority. Lacking , a suitable candi date, the allies were unable in the last moments to check the flow toward Wilson. They might have done so had they had a candidate with whom to accomplish the task. Bryan Secretly Disappointed. As to Bryan, he has added new laurels to his individual victories, but there was an expression of disappoint ment on his face when he saw every thing slipping to Wilson. Down deep In his heart he unquestionably enter tained the hope that the Clark-Wilson people would hopelessly deadlock and that he might be the man chosen to bring about a break. But he. over estimated his popularity when he per sonally attacked Clark and Murphy, and the men who have been in the habit of financing the Democratic Na tional campaign. He injured himself with the delegates by his vicious per sonalities, and when the convention closed he was far from the popular Idol who first addressed the assem blage In opposition to Parker on the opening day. But Bryan has one satisfaction. Ha has reaped a neat harvest out of the two conventions, for his newspaper re port has netted him $2500 a day for each day the conventions were in ses sion. Bryan won. though he lost. MEDFORD PLANS BIG DAY Grand Celebration, With Sport Pro gramme, Is Due Tomorrow. MF.nFORD. Or.. July 2. (Special.)
