WIDE INDIGNATION VOICED Kesolntion Says State Xamesak Is Most Famous of Fluting 6hip and Destruction Wold Bo Outrage. The member of the Commercial Club are making a determined effort to pre battleship Oregon from beln used aa a target by the Navy. The Governor, various state organixa .1 . thai rout cities will be asked to lend their alA. Telegrams were sent t the Washington authorities j-eir-3ay by the Commercial Club, denounc ing the proposed disposition of the bat tleship and the following resolution wu adopted by the executive commit tee of the club: "Whereas. It 1 proposed, as reported In newspaper dispatches from Wsshmston. to ua the hmou battleship Oregon as a tar set to be hot to piece, and sunk, a 1st similar to that which befell the battleship Tvxss a year or tao ao. and Whereas, the Orerou 1 the most famous of our fuchtln ships, wlnnlnc Its laurels In the thick of tattle, and Its vanton de-r-nK-tlon would outrase palrlotlo sentiment In the heart of every American; the anni hilation of tbm splendid ship-that made the most memorable cruise In the history or naval warfare and defended us from a hos tile fleet Involves National honor; an Amer ican shlo that faced shot from tha enemy Mould not be fired upon by her own coun try; therefore, be It - Resolved, by the Board of Governors 01 the Portland Commercial Club, that we most emphatically protest against such an Irnomlnlous end for this gallant vessel that nas won aljrnal honors for our fla aa being an act unpatriotic, un-American and utterly indefensible. IVe urge most strongly that the Oregon be maintained In commission or honorable retirement, a constant reminder to our cltliens of our victories on the seas And a practical lesson in patriotism as well as a source of inspiration to this and suc ceeding generations. George F. Blair, Lieutenant-Commander ol the Oregon Naval Militia, In charge of the U. 8. S. Boston, said that the only argument against the preser vation of the Oregon might be that It -would prevent a modern dreadnought being named for the state. George H. Hlrr.es. secretary of the Oregon Historical 6oclety, character ised the proposed plan of destruction as an outrage. He said that senti ment was so strong that there should be some way of saving the ship aa a historical relic and believed that the Oregon should be anchored In Port land. Dr. J. R. Wilson, principal of Port land Academy, said that he hoped that the Oregon might become a school ship rather than be destroyed with such treatment as might be accorded to valueless old unknown junk. DAXUXS WOULD SAVE OREGON Secretory of "ayy Says Less Valuable Ships Available for Targets. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. May 13. Secretary Daniels, who returned to Washington today, refused to consider seriously the recommenda tion of naval officers that the battle ship Oregon be used as a target to be shot at by dreadnoughts of the Navy. He let it be known that be will noj approve any order designating the Ore gon for such purpose. If the Navy is In need of abandoned - warships for use as targets there are other and less valuable ships which can be used for many years to come without dismantling the Oregon and sinking her In target practice. It Is the intention of Secretary Daniels to keep the Oregon !n reserve at present, unless sufficient pressure Is brought to bear to have her transferred to the State of Oregon as a relic The proba bilities are that the Oregon will re main with the Pacific reserve fleet at Puget Eound for an Indefinite time.

NAMES ONLY GRACE BALLOT Sew Commission Charter Stipulates No Ballot Shall Have Party or Political Designation Append ed to Candidate's Xante. "When the Portland voter goes to mark his ballot June 2 there will be no kind numbers to g-uide his pencil to the squares opposite the names of his fa vorite candidates. He will have to wade through the entire wilderness of names, seeking for the five names among- the 92 that he would Indorse with his vote.' Candidates must de part from the stereotyped style In elec tion cards, "Vote for Me No. 23 on the ballot." The new commission charter, under which the election will be held, pro vides that "no ballot shall have printed tr.ereon any party or political designa tion or mark; there shall not be ap pended to the name of any candidate any party or political designation or mark." It Is provided, however, that each candidate may have printed after his name a slogan, not to exceed 12 words In length, relating strictly to his views on municipal affairs. Henee the commission charter cand date must not only take his chances of not being discovered in the maze of contestants by those who wish to vote for him. but he le prevented from ap pealing to the party prejudice of voters with the time-worn shibboleths such as "I am a Democrat" "Always a Repub lican" and "Defender of the direct pri mary," that used to be his refuge and his strength In the good old days be- fore the advent of commission govern ment. Under the new dispensation all can didates will look alike on the ballot. INITIATIVE BILL LACKS VOTE Illinois House Kejects Measure by Majority of One. SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 14.
