18 THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1914. LAFFERTY'S PLAGE HOTLY CONTESTED McArthur Already Preparing for Race for Republican ! , Nomination. REPRESENTATIVE IN, TOO mopping Tendencies of Present Holder of Third District Seat in Congress Iike ly to Prove Handicap. There probably -will tie a. lively con test for the Republican nomination for Congress from the Third Oregon Dis trict (Multnomah County) this year. A. W. Lafferty, who Is serving his second term, has announced that he will seek the nomination again as a Republican. C. N. McArthur, Speaker of the Oregon Legislature, also Is an avowed aspirant for the nomination and has been In the field since last October. Lafferty was nominated and elected to Congress as a Republican In 1910, and was renominated by the Repub licans at the primary election In 1912, after which he accepted the Bull Moose indorsement, running In the general election as a "Progressive-Republican," and winning without difficulty. The last Legislature, in amending the elec tion laws, provided that candidates can no longer "ride both horses," so here after aspirants for publlo office in the State of Oregon must stick to the par ties In which they are registered. Laf ferty has done no little amount of "flopping" in the jtast five or six years. In Congress he has worked "hand In glove" with the Progressives. Lafferty will have formidable oppo sition with Speaker McArthur as his opponent. MoArthur is and always has been a Republican and has held two Important political offices: Secretary to the Governor. 1909-1911. and Speaker of the House at the Besslon of 1909 and 1918. He announced last October he will be an aspirant for the nomination for Congress and has been quietly building up his political fences for the coming campaign. "The situation is most encouraging." (aid McArthur yesterday "I already have done some work preparatory to the vigorous campaign which I expect to make later and have received as surances of support from many Quar ters. I do not propose to have a cam paign manager or elaborately furnished headquarters, but shall manage my own campaign and go directly to the people for my support. I intend to make a personal campaign throughout the city ;md county and to meet as many voters rs possible. I shall make no trades or Kecret agreements of any character, nor enter into any offensive or defensive alliances with candidates for any other office. I am willing to stand upon my record as a public official In this state, and my candidacy must win or lose upon its own merits." Heretofore Lafferty has been nom inated by small pluralities and his op position has been divided among several candidates. This was particularly no ticeable at the Republican primary election In 1912, in which the vote was divided as follows: Clyde .4T Gantenbaln 9.266 J.afrerty 9.SS8 Shepherd 3.837 Total 17,6(18 Lafferty beat Gantenbein only 622 votes and was nominated by less than S5 per cent of the total vote cast. That lie won in the general election was due to the fact that he ran under the col ors of both the Republican and Pro gressive parties; also that his opposition was divided again by the candidacy of McCusker (Independent). The vote at the general election was: Baldwin (Prohibition) 1.419 Campbell (Socialist) 3.065 McCusker (Independent) a. 280 Munly (Democrat) . . ,. 11.E53 Lafferty (Progressive Republican)... 16.783 Total ' 89,100 Political prophets already are spec ulating as to the probable outcome of the coming fight. . McArthurs friends assert that Lafferty is not as strong as he was two years ago and that a large percentage of the woman vote will be thrown against him. Predictions are freely made that In a dual contest with McArthur the present Representa tive will be greatly worsted and that, even in a large field, Lafferty cannot win. On the other hand, Lafferty's supporters are confident of the out come and are preparing to make a vig orous campaign. It is said on good au thority that Lafferty will leave Wash ington early in April, come to Port land and personally direct his cam paign for nomination in the primary election, which is scheduled for May 15. Lafferty and McArthur are at pres ent the only avowed Republican as Vlrants for the nomination from this district. It is said that Arthur I. Moulton. a young lawyer and erstwhile political friend and adviser of Lafferty, Is groomed for the Progressive nomina tion and that John H. Stevenson, Mu nicipal Judge of Portland, is the most likely Democratic candidate. W. C Hawley, Representative from tho First District, already has a rival In the person of B. F. Jones, of Rose burg, but Hawley's friends appear to have the situation well in hand. N. J. Sinnott. Representative from the Second Dlstrlot, in all probability will have no opposition for the nomination. MICHIGAN OFFICER COMES Prison Guard Seeks) Clarence B rad ish, Alleged Parol Breaker. A. D. Pettit, night captain of guards in the Michigan State Penitentiary at Jackson, was registered at the Per kins Monday. He came with a war rant for the arrest of Clarence Brad lsh, alias Thomas Monroe, serving a !"0-day sentence at the County Jail for vagrancy. Bradish Is charged with breaking his parole from Jackson prison six years ago. He had served a. year and a half of an indeterminate sentence of from one to five years for larceny from the person, according to Mr. Pettit. Bradish was located by the Jackson prison authorities by a description sent to the local police which tallied with that of Thomas Monroe, con vlcted of vagrancy. The man admit ted that he had used both names, it is said. Mr. Pettit has gone to Roseburg for a brier visit witn nis son, w. A. Pettit a newspaper man, and expects to leave for Jackson with Bradish Thursdav. The Michigan law requires that Bradish must serve tho remainder of his five-year sentence. Time of Meeting Changed. The Greater Irvington Improvement Association will meet Tuesday night. January 13. The place of meetiner will be the tlnlversallst Church, East Twenty-fourth street and Broadway. These meetings will be held regularly on me second Tuesday oi each, month. ACTOR SAYS YEARN NOT TO BE "SOPHISTICATED" Otis Skinner, Star in Wonderful Oriental "Kismet" at Heilig, Vows Greatest Joy Is Found in Retaining Romance of Life. BY WALTER MAT. ALL you who look upon sophisti cation as the goal of life; on ac quiring a blase bump as the height of your subtle or-subtile evolu tion, harken to Otis Skinner, who in the role of HajJ in "Kismet" at the Heilig Theater this week says many and wondrous things about life In general. Mr. Skinner fairly becomes militant when, off the stage, he says, by way of pointing to the merit of ro mantio plays: "Don't get so demned sophisticated! Let yourself loose in the realm of something romantic and go back, go back to your childhood memories and there find the sweetness of life. Read romance, be romantic, let yourself en Joy romanticism in ail forms, and you'll never grow old." Mr. Skinner had pulled the cotton from the ears of his telephone bell, at the Hotel Oregon, sorted over the mes sages which had piled up as a result of his crude silencer and sorted out the likely ones. Mr. Skinner believes in a few hours of rest, reading and men tal recreation, to himself each day, and he best does it by turning his telephone into a little see-nothing, hear-nothing, talk-nothing Chinese god. And. it is a safe wager, romantic books, romantic thoughts and even romantic hopes play a big part in this hour or so of his re laxation. In the parlance of the baseball world, .Mr. Skinner is a ro mance "fan." or "bug," and it does your heart good to absorb a little of it as he talks and beams while he talks. Mr. Skinner was shuffling, that is the best word, a bundle of Christmas cards cards which came from James Whitcomb Riley, the lovable Hoosier poet; from Walter Prichard Eaton, the powerful dramatic critic in the East; from Laura Hope Crews; from the widow of Richard Mansfield and the Mansfield boy, Gibbs, from England and Germany and Russia from every where, it seems cards which gave him more than passsing pleasure because they breathed the spirit of romance of the seasons. And then it was Otis Skinner bad his little say about getting romantic once in a while. "Yes. we nil think we like to be sophisticated, all like to get some of the 'blaseness' of life rubbed in but, I know every mother's son of us likes to. if we Just let ourself. go back and read those books we used to hide be hind our geographies in school books like 'Treasure Island' and that lot. Go to Wall street even, and take your hardened broker, and underneath the canvas covering. brought about by your canvas-backed ducks and cham pagne and scorching life, you'll find the desire as the years roll on." And Mr. Skinner's face fairly lighted up and grew round and shiny and jolly like a German landlord's when he took a tack and shifted around to HajJ his role, his wonderful role, In "Kismet." Role Hard But Fascinating. Be it said here, Hajj (pronounced Hodge almost) is one of the longest rcles in the English-speaking drama, as it is played. It Is longer than the acting version of Hamlet, perhaps as long as Iago. It requires an hour and 15 minutes' rapid reading. "But I love it," Bays Mr. Skinner. "I work hard, have worked hard for three seasons in It. Every night, each matinee it comes back with the freshness and intoxicat ing vigor of the very atmosphere it breathes that of the Orient, in all its wondrousness. It takes me back to the time when as a boy I liked to read tales of splendor and adventure, and, you know, the old Mohammedan philos ophy that one great day comes to each of us well! Hajj has that day and I play, it and I live It. It has none of the perplexing strife of every-day life, none of the problems. It's beautiful in treatment, artistic in expression, full of tire, and realism and sensations, and it is big enough for the greatest mind and small enough for the tiniest. It's romance, that's what i is, and that's what has made it a big role." All of which brought Otis Skinner face to face with the question "What are you doing next season?" And Port, land first of all cities gets a peep into Mr. Skinner's plans for next year. It is one of two things either a play by a rising English, writer dealing with GRANGE WORK TOLD Leader of Eastern Star Body Scores U'Ren Tax Measure. ALL ARE URGED TO VOTE J. J. Johnson, Installed as President for Eleventh Time, Also Warns Members Afjainst Agitators and Scheming Politicians. In his address before Evening Star Grange Saturday. J. J. Johnson, who was Installed for his 11th year as mas ter, reviewed the work of the year, and spoke of pending measures. He condemned the "U'Ren $1600 exemption measure" and advised all Grangers to vote "no' when It comes before them. He strongly condemned that class of men and women who remain away from the polls on election day, and declared they are lacking in public spirit. "Business men and women," said Mr. Johnson, "in all lines and callings. should awaken to their duty as citizens and vote. Until then no form of gov ernment will truly represent the peo ple. I am glad that we as Grangers look well to our duty on election day." Mr. Johnson cautioned Grangers against promoters, agitators and de signing politicians, and said that such men should not be permitted to become members of the order. The Grange, he said should be careful about Indorsing measures which may turn out vicious and harmful. Mr. Johnson said: "We should necessarily be extremely cautious in all matters, for we find that the designing politician, the. smooth promoter, the agitator and the schemer in every class and clan is looking longingly for an opportunity to affix his name to our roll, or to otherwise gain our friendship and support before we awake to his true design or motive." In recognition of the public schools, F. S. Ball, principal of the Arleta School, was installed as lecturer for the en suing year. M. O. Evans told of the "Home and School Gardens.' and urged that homes encourage children in garden cultlva tion. Salem Council Elects. SALEM, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.) The City Council, seven new members tak Ing their seats last night, elected the following set of officers: ire Chief, W. H. Phillips; Street Commissioner, K. s. Mudiong; city Attorney. R. K. Paso; City Engineer, Walter Skellton, y . Oris Skinner, Leading: American Actor, Who la at the Hellltr This Week. the psychological aspect of the unrest of the masses today or it will be a play by tn American writer on lines strictly romantic More than that Mr. Skinner, with a bow, says nothing, pointing to the far away East, where works away his managers on plans for next year. Why Shakespeare, He Asks. This much is certain, Otis Skinner, who has starred in "Prince Otto," "Tour Humble Servant," "The Honor of the Family." Villon," "Francesca da Rimini," "His Grace de Gramont" and many others, including some of Shakes peare, wfll never, never take up Shakespeare as a permanent repertoire. "Why Shakespeare as a permanent diet?" he asks. "Did the drama cease with the Elizabethan age? Are there no others? . I have always been identi fied with the romantic more or less modern drama, some huge successes, some at least popular; others perhaps only an experiment, but I have made the public laugh, I have loosened the tense tendons of workaday life as It is today, I have helped them to get away from themselves, and that alone is & satisfaction something apart from an artistic stage success alone. Some time now and then I may do a Shakespeare play, but only now and then. It is not essential to a well-rounded-out career." It is to be remembered Mr. Skinner Is the actor who started Izetta Jewel, the ex-Baker star; long a favorite in Portland, on her rise to recognition in the East. Mr. Skinner recalled yester day how he engaged her without ever seeing her act, and on only five min utes' interview. Actor Has One Big; Hope. "She has the physical attributes that go with a successful make-up," he said. "I saw her five minutes for the first time four years ago. For two years after she was with me in 'Tour Humble Servant, and she'd be with me today in 'Kismet if there was a part for her." Mr. Skinner has one all-absorbing hope insofar as Portland is concerned, and that is that when he comes again it will be to play in a new theater. "I hear there are plans under way for another new theater for road attrac tions. I hope when I come again it won't have been taken by the vaude ville houses before I get here. 1 just missed the new Heilig." Today is the day Mr. Skinner lives at the theater. For several hours be fore the play he will be making up, and he will not leave the stage between the closing of the matinee and the opening of the night performance. In his rags of the beggar Hajj he will eat his din ner in his dressing-room, "but even that isn't a hardship for such a role as Hajj," says Mr. Skinner, the boy Otis, only grown up. - and Health Officer, O. B. Miles. Phillips succeeds Mark Savage, who has been chief of the fire department for sev eral years. Skellton succeeds H. C, Tillman, who succeeded Skellton two years ago. LEGAL FORCE INCREASED School Board Engages Advisory Counsel In Two Cases. Advisory counsel was employed by the Portland School Board Monday to assist In defending two cases now in the courts in which the school district Is interested. M. L. Pipes was retained in' the case brought by C. S. Jackson and others to restrain the board from purchasing a tract of land In the southeastern sec tion of the city for agricultural high school purposes. He will act in con junction with Nichols & McCoy, the regular attorneys for the board. C. W. Fulton was retained to act with the school attorneys in the case brought by B. Brick and others against the County Commissioners to prevent the enforcement of the 7.5 mills schoo tax levy recently authorised by the taxpayers meeting. While the board is not a party to this suit it is prob able that intervention will be neces sary to protect the board's interests. INDIAN FIGHTER IS DEAD Father of Detectives Moloney SO-.: carafes at Age of 7 6. Patrick Moloney, 76 years old. father or John and Patrick Moloney, detec tives in the police bureau, died early yesterday at his home. 342 Sherman street, after an illness of four years. Mr. Moloney was born In Galwav. Ireland, and came to the United States in 1854. In 1855 he was enrolled In the United States Infantry. He fought through the Indian wars in Oregon and in 1870 went to California, where he married Anna Higgins. In 1S72 he re turned to Portland and engaged in the transfer business. He had been re tired for the last seven years. A widow and five children survive. The latter are John and Patrick Mo loney, of Portland; Thomas E.. living at spoKane; jvirs. t. e.

IRST VISIT JANUARY 30 I Committee Will Kecclve reacts and I Figures Showing W hy City Is -Tlight Location for Re serve Institution. Members of the organization commit tee of the Federal reserve board have completed the itinerary for their trans continental tour and have provided for two visits to Portland. The first one, the night of Friday, January. 30, will be informal and will be of about five hours duration. The second visit, Monday, February 2, will be to conduct a formal hearing on Portland's application to become a re gional reserve center under provisions of the newly-enacted currency law. In addition to Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Houston, who compose the organization committee, the party will consist of about 12 other persons, in cluding their respective secretaries, stenographers and clerks. It is prob able, too, that Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Houston will be with them. - A Pullman office car has been char tered for the trip, which will start from Washington, D. C, Saturday night. January 17, on the Pennsylvania Rail road, officials of which will have charge of the entire trip. First Hearing; In Chlcaso. The first hearing will be conducted in Chicago, where a two-days' session will be held. St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver will be the only other stopping places before the party reaches the Northwest- Leaving Denver the night of January 28, the officials will go direct to Seat tle for the hearing the following Sat urday, traveling on the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Company roads. The party will arrive here on train, No. 17 at 7:15 o'clock Friday night, January 30, and will leave at 11 o'clock for Seattle. In the four-hour stay In Portland it Is probable that the visitors will be given some official attention by Port land commercial bodies and Federal of ficeholders. . As the request has gone forth that no social recognition be of fered, whatever reception is tendered will be purely informal. The tentative schedule provides lor a two days' stay in Seattle, including Sunday, February 1. as well as the day preceding. An effort will be made, however, to have the party leave Seat tle Saturday night so as to stay In Portland Sunday. The hearing here Monday, February 2, probably will consume the entire day. It probably will be held in the Federal Court room. The Joint committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Clearing-House is actively at-work preparing facts to be presented to the visiting officials. An earnest effort will be made to convince them that Portland is the logical finan cial center of the Northwest, and by reason of such situation Portland is the natural place for the establishment of the proposed regional bank. . Heartaci In California. After the hearing in Portland the party will invade California, holding hearings at San Francisco and Los An geles. It Is understood, however, that L03 Angeles is making no effort to ob tain a reserve bank, but is supporting San Francisco. A branch bank is de sired by Los Angeles, however. Other hearings will be conducted in succession at Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The party will arrive in Washington, D. C. on the return trip the afternoon of Sun day, February 22. Pending arrival of the committee in Portland it is improbable that further appeals will be made by the local com mittee to the Federal authorities. For mal application for designation as a regional reserve center already has been made. Other information bearing on the subject will not be Imposed upon the committee until it arrives here. Then the facts and figures will be of fered. The Portland bankers are will ing to let the facts and figures spealc for themselves. A factor in Portland's favor that will receive due emphasis is the Alaska trade now controlled by merchants of this city. It is understood that Seattle is calling loud attention to the alleged fact that Seattle finances all the Alaska business. Portland now has regular steamship service in connection with Alaska, and the business is growing constantly. Portland bankers will point this out to the committee. BETTER ROADS TALKED OF (Continued From First Page.) County Commissioners. In turn the Commissioners, suffering from an ag gravated attack of peeve, had stopped the road-building then and there. This view of the trouble is held by nearly all the farmers of the country aide, but it is only partly shared by the good-road advocates of the closeby communities, who, admitting this farm er s responsibility for the halting of the work, make the explanation that ex-Judge Beattie. of the County Court, had held that if the taxpayers didn't want- to help themselves to a good road, the court couldn't aid them, and, forthwith, spread the 10-mill on tho three parallel roads, giving enough money to each of the three to enable the building of a few yards of hard surface. Following the squabble. Judge Beat tie and one of the Commissioners were recalled, and the promise made that the road will bs repaired next Summer and will be in 'passable condition by 1915. But whatever, the cause of the wrangle that put a temporary stop to road improvement, and whatever the likelihood of renewed activity next Summer, the road north of New Era is Impassable except on foot or by light buggy and team. And beyond New Era the road is in a deplorable con dition all the way to Brooks. In places, it is true, the highway Is pass ably good and could be made satisfac tory by the liberal use of crushed rock. but it averages bad. South of Canby the highway is rolling, with pitches to 10 per cent, and beyond Barlow the roads, although passable, are a rebuke to their builders. In fact, there are rough places, holes and pitches all the way to the Marlon County line, where the improvement at once Is apparent. for no voiced reason more illuminating than the farmers antagonistic atti tude before their llth-hour conversion. That their conversion has been com' plete was plainly evidenced by the out spoken enthusiasm of the farmers we encountered along the way. At New Era we made our way for a few rods along the railroad track to a deserted jungle .hut, set deep in the woods at the end of a path that carried up from tne river, ana wnne my wire was ster llislng with, fire the abandoned uten- The Quickest, Simplest Cough Remedy .

He reasoned that short-sightedness had in fluenced the farmers' opposition. Just as prejudice years ago made the trail-blazers resent the coming of the railroad. "As for me." he concluded, "I've got a lot of property here and I know it's going to increase in value just as rap Idly as population Increases. The more that come along the highway the "better. Some'll invest and some may locate round here. And that 11 all help yes. sir; it'll help every last one of us. We've got to have that road ready by 1915. and. sir, we're going to have it ready.

And one big hope is found in- the realization of men like Sullivan that this is true. Another big hope is found in the sudden and active co-operation of the farmers, and in the splendid or ganization that has been perfected for road work in the three counties. Clack amas, Marlon and Multnomah. This whole section," said Mr. Sul livan, "now is thoroughly organized. Improvement clubs are springing up In every community. The good road sen timent recently has grown so rapidly that the farmers now are openly advo cating the abolition of the wasteful po litical system of road building and strongly favoring the appointment of a trained, scientific builder to supervise all county road work, with a view to constructing the kind of roads best suited for the district to be served. Per sonally, my idea is to have trunk lines of the very highest grade of construc tion such as can be maintained econom ically for many years. At the present time, taking into consideration the amount of travel, 16-foot roads would be wide enough, supported by macadam shoulders." The way Clackamas County is plan ning to pay for the projected road im provements Is to get its share of the state appropriation and then issue bonds to an amount sufficient to create the balance required. Yesterday the sun came up. the clouds blew away, the sky was blue and the air suggested cherry blossoms, and to celebrate the passing of the rain we bought a pullet called "gump"' by the professional tramp, rustled some butter and enjoyed fried chicken in the restful shade of a cedar grove on the edge of the Tiver.
