TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1912 OLD FOES IH TO FJGHT BULL MOOSE Third Party Finds Nemesis at Work in Political Ranks Near Walla Walla. HISTORIC PRIDE IS STIRRED Republican Faction Leaders Heal Wounds oC Long Standing to Make Hybrid Organization Common Campaign Target. TV AULA WALLA. Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.) Politics make strange bed fellows. It is indeed hard to tell Just what would happen if some of the old time politicians were to coma back to Walla Walla for a brief visit and meet certain individuals walking down town together arm In arm. Perhaps the vis itor would believe that some of the Carnegie peace doves had been turned loose in the city, but such is not the case. The third party was necessary for the reunion of the old-line and boxer forces in this county and they are jam tip against each other and working in harmony. In fact, the third . party since launched in this state has done more to recement the tles-that once bound than anything else. iMt Straw t'anses Break. Of course, there is some Roosevelt following here and what there is is very active, but the straw that broke the camel's back was when the danger ous convention-holding mania de veloped on the "West Side" and term inated in the decision to have state and county tickets. Up to that period in the new party's formation there were plenty of them who would leave the grand old party standard on the least provocation and wanted to climb In a bandwagon to be the principal feature of the third ring in what had heretofore remained a two-ring big show circus. Then the opportunity came. With a ring al most as defiant as the one drafted by our forefathers when the colonies re nounced English rule, the action of the convention in Seattle was received and the bolting was at last good. Although few. from the very begin ning, the Progressive candidates In this county failed to progress that is out of the Republican party. The time came and passed for them to leave the Republican party and they stuck, and are still sticking. W. H. Kirkman. one of the leaders for the third party National ticket, has even gone so far as to say. "when this battle comes down to state issues. I believe the Re publican party is big enough to stand the fight. I km a Republican and al though the time may come when It hooves us to leave the party that time is decidedly not now." Moose Is Commoa Target. And so the third party state anil county ticket is not here. The reaction to the Republican ranks In this part of the state and on the entire East Side for that matter, is as pronounced as was the dissatisfaction when reports from Chicago were that Roosevelt was being choked by the same methods which had characterized the campaigns he himself headed In the past and which he is now endeav oring to enforce when any of his fol lowers suggest In a timid manner that they would like to vote for a personal friend for some minor state or county office who Is Identities wun cne re publican or Democratic parties. Just what has infected so many of those who have heretofore been heredi tarily opposed to each other In this city and has brought about a reunion of forces cannot be learned. It seems as though a vast majority in both fac tions recognized that the third party is something In common for them to fight and the fight is on. Men who have fought each other in the State Legislature, in county elections and on municipal Issues are no longer on unfriendly terms and are backing President Taft and In nearly every in stance clear on down the line. The Democrats have realized this and are no little surprised to know that they no longer have shattered Republican forces to fight, but in their stead a party presenting an un broken front except a little frayed on one end. Third Party Support Sill. Even though" ttfere Is a full state Ucket In the field the third party will not get its strength from the Repub lican ranks in this part of the state. The greatest vote will come from the Socialists and Democrats. It la no more than reasonable to believe that the Republicans who are going to vote the third ticket are already out mak ing their declarations and if this Is true there are very few. Almost any old kind of an issue would secure more support in this city than the third party has displayed so far. The ' followers of Jefferson have opened headquarters in the city, have W. E. Olson, a well-known Democrat, in charge and are now preparing to make the fight of their lives. Whether the third party in Washing ton wins or loses its good for this part of the country has already been mani fested. The warring factions, which have never been known to work to gether since the memorable split over the re-election of ex-Senator Levi An keny. are now but memories whether fond memories or not depends largely on which side of the fence they were on.

Morrison at WEST TURNS HERE Governor Says Metropolis Needs Cleaning Up, WOMAN IS SPECIAL AGENT Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin Named to Work in Any County West Admits He Has "Nothing Particular" in Mind at Present Time. SALEM. Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) The appointment of Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin yesterday as a special agent of Gov ernor West Is the first move the Ex ecutive has taken toward a promised cleanup of Portland. "Portland will be my next objective point in the cleanup campaign. That Is all I have to say In regard to the matter at the present time," was the declaration of the Governor today. "That is positively T11 that I care to say now, and, in tact, that is about all there Is to say. There will be more special agents appointed, probably a large number or them; but wno mey will .be and how they are to be ap pointed I do not care to comment on now. In fact,- I don't know." These were all the statements that the Governor would make in regard to the proposed cleanup. When pressed, he reiterated that he not only had noth ing further to say, and added he has nothing particular In mind Just at the present time. It is probable that he will Issue a formal statement In a day or so, but the hearing of the militia matter, which consumed practically all day today and a large share of the evening, ne saia, nrecluded him from even giving the matter a further tnougni loaay ana ne absolutely refused to be further ques tloned. Mrs. Baldwin may act in any county of the state. This appointment is made under the section of the code unearthed the other day In connection with the reform crusade of the Executive. Bv this the Governor is empowered to appoint special agents to secure evi dence, to arrest or convict prlmlnals or to act even as prosecutors when the properly constituted authorities fail to do their duty. The Governor says that frequently Mrs. Baldwin, In her work in Portland, would find such an appointment con venient, and consequently commissioned her. This . is the first special agent who has been given a commission under the present administration. Governor West's statement that Port land is to be his next objective point in his clean-up campaign, which has alreadv touched the Multnomah and Clackamas roadhouses and the towns of Redmond and Huntington, meets with no opposition from either Mayor Kusn liht or Chief of Police Slover. "There is very little to be said on the matter," said the Mayor last nignt. "If tho Governor has any Information that he can furnish us that will be for the good of the city or any as sistance he can give us In our efforts to keep the city clean I am sure I shall welcome it. My policy and my instruc tions to the chief of police are and always have been to take persistent and vigorous steps for the suppression of lawless and vicious practices In the city. I cannot say that I am In the Slier i m xxu hvi Sixth a i mm mm . v n II I II llimmiumm!lllilll!iilli.iliii:!ihimiiini;itiM;'.: i i . ; ; m i I iiiii'iiiiiiiinwMVMwmv'y"'' least alarmed by the Governor's state ment." 'I will welcome Governor Wests in terference If he can in any way help us," said Mr. Slover. r ersonmiy don't see that he can do any more than we have been doing right along. Cer tainly he can make no more arrests than we have made in the past year. nor do I believe that he can keep tne vicious element more effectually sup pressed than we have been doing. There Is no open gambling in Portland at tnis time, and we are doing everything in our power to break up the little gaming that Is being carried on quietly. If the Governor can point out to us any thing that has been left undone for the betterment of the city In my depart ment It will be welcomed." FACTS ONLY, SAYS DR. HALL Resigning: Head of Eastern Oregon Insane Hospital Offers Proof. LA GRANDE. Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.)

There may be more defections from the Republican party, but at present it seems unlikely. Every effort has been made by Bull Moose leaders to stam pede King County Representatives, as many of them have been affiliated with the so-called insurgent element In the Republican party. Candidates generally are wrought up over the handful of insurgents who tried to force them into a new party, although this feeling only exists among those who feel confident of nomination at the Republican primaries.
