WANTS MAN FROM SOUTH Says Southern Democrats Are Back ward Gray of Delaware His Second Choice Tariff Re vision Will Be an Issue. policies. The public has greater con fidence In Taft than In any or tne otner candidates, and It Is commonly con ceded that he Is the last one among them who could be "reached By cor poration money and other corporation Influence. That the President snouia prefer Taft to the others Is nothing more than could be expected, and tho fact that he prefers Taft cannot De used as an argument against the nom ination of the War Secretary. If any thing. It should count In his favor, for the people have confidence in tho judgment of Roosevelt and they know he would not select a man unless ne believed him thoroughly competent and worthy of public trust. BONAPARTE N AFTER BIG GAME OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aue. 10. Senator Bacon, or Georgia, is not enthusiastic about tne prospect of the nomination of Bryan in 1908. He does not believe that Bryan can be elected, if nominated, and, further more, believes that the party has dis charged all obligations to the man from Nebraska. Senator Bacon is one of those Democrats who believe that the next Presidential nominee should come from the South. He Is not a candidate him self, but he believes there is an abund ance of Rood material from which to choose, and he thinks it is time the Soutn should have some reward for its unwaver lng loyalty. Southerners Should' Come Forward. The Senator was asked why it was t'nat the South did not concentrate In support of some one of its prominent Democrats and he explained that Southern Demo crats were backward about declaring themselves. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, Senator Culberson, of Texas, and ex- Senator Carmack. of Tennessee, have all been mentioned, but not one of them so much as intimated that he would care for the nomination even if his friends would undertake to secure it for him. Senator Bacon believes that the Southern Demo crats of Presidential size made a mistake when they did not assert themselves, for, while these men are maintaining silence, and thereby discouraging their friends who would like to see them nominated. Bryan Is again letting the country know that ha Is willing and anxious to dp nominated, and enthusiasm Is again being aroused, with the almost certain result that the work ef the next Democratic National Convention will be mapped out for it long before the convention assembles. Gray Second Choice. If he could not have a Southern Demo crat, Senator Bacon would lavor tne nomination of ex-Senator Gray. 01 Dela ware. Gray Is conservative, he is In dependent, and he is rational, and repre sents, as Senator Bacon believes, the very best element In the Democratic party. But Gray, like Southern Democrats, . is not inclined to push himself forward, ana tho movement In favor of his nomination is making no progress. Bryan Is the only Democrat who Is an active candidate for the nomination: he Is the only Democrat In whose behalf any material demonstra tion has been made, and it Is a safe bet that the convention will disregard tne wishes of the Stouth and again nominate Bryan, knowing full well that the South will, as usual, support the man who Is chosen to lead the party. Tariff Revision to Be an Issue. In discussing the political outlook. Senator Bacon expressed the belief that tariff revision would be a conspicuous lssnie in the coming campaign. He also thoueht that opposition to centralization nf nower In the Federal Government would be generally discussed. As far as the tariff was concerned, he said: "The revenue requirements ot the uov- emment will always necessitate a high tariff. A low rate of tariff duties is an impossibility In our day. The Democratic party ought to declare against the un necessarily excessive tariff and against the discriminating and extortionate reatures In which the DIngley law abounds But an indiscriminate declaration against the tariff will fall to bring to our sup port a vast number of Republicans who are ready to break away from their party on account of the grievous tarirc aouses which now afflict the people." It is not likely that a convention that will nominate Bryan will adopt Senator Bacon's views on the tariff. These views ore more apt to be Indorsed by a con- i vention which would nominate Taft. WILLIAMS STILL THE LEADER His Election to Senate Will Still Leave Him Four Years In House. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aur. 10. The promotion of John Sharp Williams to the Senate win leave the Democrats in the House of Represen tatives without a leader. Though Williams was chosen as the new Senator from Mississippi by popular vote of the people of his state, he will not take his seat in the upper branch of Congress for four years, or until March 4, 1911. The prob abilities are that in the meantime Wil liams will hold his old position as leader of the minority in the House, and. during these four years the Democrats will pick out a younger man to take hold wnen Williams goes to the Senate. The minority in the House of Represen tatives Is not Well organized and has not been for a number of years. Williams is not an Ideal leader. The party Is split Into factions and on no critical issue has Williams been able to secure the united support of the Democrats. But for all that he Is probably as good a leader as could be found among the present mem bership, and, fdr that reason, it is quite likely he will be again nominated by his party for the Speakership, which nomina tion carries with it the floor leadership of the minority. Secretary to Continue Crusade Against Law - Breaking Corporations. .... WILL MAKE STANDARD PAY FOUR SENATORS AT ONCE Alabama Legislature Establishes New Precedent In Politics. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 10. The present Alabama Legislature established a new preceaeni in American politics when it elected four United States Senators. Two of these were to fill out the . unexpired terms ot Senators Morgan and-Pettus, and two to fill out the full terms succeeding. The successors to the unexpired terms of Senators Morgan and Pettus were vir tually chosen at the Democratic prn marles a year ago, wnen me voiera chose "alternate Senators," who . were to be elected by the Legislature In the event that Morgan or Pettus or both should die before the end of their re spective terms. At the time of the pri maries the two sitting Senators were each past the 80-year mark, and It was feared that neither would live to see the end of his term. The wisdom ot tne peo ple in selecting alternates has since been demonstrated. The new Senators. John H Bankhead. and Joseph H. Johnston, who were selected by the people to nu out the unexpired terms, were later elected by the Legislature and have now been chosen by that body to fill the full terms to follow. HATED BOY SINCE BIRTH FATHER REFUSES ANY AID TO HIS WAYWARD SOX. PRESIDENT NOT TO DICTATE Would Like to See Taft the Next President, However. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 10. One of the argu ments most frequently made against the nomination of Secretary Taft Is the alleged fact that President Roose velt Is trying to force the convention into naming his present Secretary of War as the party standard-bearer in 1908. Though widely circulated, this statement is untrue. 'The President will not attempt to dictate to the con vention, though It Is true that he has a preference and Taft Is hls favorite candidate. There is no reason why the Presi dent should not have a preference among all the various candidates for the Republican nomination. It Is the most natural thing in the world that he should desire the nomination of the man who Is In sympathy with the present administration, and who, if elected, would be most likely to con tinue the reforms that have been In augurated since Mr. Roosevelt went into the White House. Every one understands that the reg ulation of corporations Is still In its Infancy.- The regulation of the rail roads has only Just begun and a per fect system has yet to be evolved. The elimination of graft from the Federal service is by no means com plete. It is evident that corporations are still able to reacn certain Drancnes of the executive departments, though their influence is being steadily re duced. These reforms cannot be completed by March 4, 1909. Another four years will be necessary to carry the policies to completion. If Mr. Roosevelt is not re-elected, the people must choose man in harmony with Roosevelt, or else they must expect to see the prose cution of the corporations, etc., dropped as soon as the new administration takes hold. Taft is the one man of all the Republican candidates mos heartily In sympathy with Roosevelt's Mother Goes to Rescue Her Child Who Is Under Arrest In Tacoma. TACQMA. Wash., Aug. 10.

Other Violations of Law by Oil Mo nopoly to Be Prosecuted New Development at Hand in the Harrlman Case. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Attorney-General Bonaparte, -.irho visited President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay yesterday, stopped for a brief period In this city before going to his home In Baltimore. While here he talked fully of his con ference with the President and intimated that next month might bring further de velopments of Importance in the cam paign against alleged lawbreaklng cor porations. "I do not wish to make any secret of the fact that the' talk between the Pres ident and myself was In reference to the fine imposed by Judge Landls against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana." said Mr. Bonaparte. "We Ciscussed that, also what step should be taken as a re sult of the investigation of tlu Interstate Commerce Commission on the Harrlman railroad system. What will be done in regard to both these questions I cannot tell at the present time." Mr. Bonaparte was asked if there would be any prosecution of Individuals and he replied: "I will say that if we have what the doctors call a good case, those higher up will come in for their share of the inves tigations. The cases will be pressed to the limit. So far as ;he smaller fry are oncerned, I do not think there Is any use of going after them. I refer to the men who are at present holding positions in the companies." Will the Standard Oil Company of Indiana be forced to pay the fine if Its a-peal fails?" 'That is a question, the answer to which can only be found in the future," said Mr. Bonaparte mllln; The President and I talked over the amount of the fine imposed by the courts and we both sympathized very much with the company," added the Attorney General, and his smile broadened. But how can the Standard Oil Com pany ot Indiana pay a fine of over $29.- 000,000 on a capital of only $1,000,000?" h was asked. 'If the decision just ob.lned Is af firmed by the Court of Appeals, then we will go after our money and get It In some way," answered Mr. Bonaparte. "It Is true that a stone has no blood," hs added, "but a stone may be ground up. This one case against one company of the Standard does not Insure Immunity for the other branches. In all probabil ity other cases will be taken up by the Department of Justice. In speaking about the Harrlman report which he had discussed witn the xresl dent, the At :orney-General said that there was nothing to be said at this time. but that developments may be expected within the next few weeks. "Within a month," said Mr. Bonaparte, 'I can say there will be something heard from the Harrlman affairs. While there may be some new developments, there will be nothing of a sensational character. I have had this matter under consideration for the last three or four weeks." Among the things discussed by the President and Mr. Bonaparte, according to the latter was the prevalence oi land frauds In the West. There are a great many of these. It was said, and the Pres ident was very mucn interested in nav inar them brought light and tne offend ers criminally prosecuted, --.is is being done just as fast as the cases come up for consideration. IN EFFECT AUGUST 24 New Reciprocal Demurrage Give Club to Shippers. Will The reciprocal demurrage law passed by the last Legislature will become effective one week from today. After that date failure on the part of the railroads to supply cars within a stipulated time after they are called for by shippers will be Dunlshed by a fine of $2 a day for each car not given On the other hand if shipper falls to load cars delivered to him within -48 hours aner tney are re ceived, he must pay a fine of $2 a day fnr each car held over that time. In addition to the fines the railroads will be required to pay for the tardy delivery of cars, shippers may also compel the payment of actual damages caused by the failure of the railroads to supply rolling stock. Proof of this damage must be made to the Railroad Commis sion. There have been no complaints of lack of cars on the Oregon roads for some time, cars having been in better supply throughout the Summer than for several years. ' Yellow Fever In Cuba. CIENFUEGOS.

MANILA. Aug. 10. The Attorney-Gen eral has been instructed by the Depart ment of Justice at Washington to file suit against the Standard Oil Company to re cover $40,000 import duty on an old claim dating back to the time when the military turned over the government to the civil authorities. The amount represents the differenco between the DIngley rates and the present tariff. CLIMBS POLE BACKWARD Automobile Performs Fancy Stunt on Washington Street. To climb tho telephone pole that stands at Sixth and Washington street with an automobile has become a regu- lar Saturday night amusement. Last night, by way of variety and to add a dash of novelty. W. A. Spanton. of 715 Thompson street, started his new $3100 car up the pole backward. In this at tempt he had the enthusiastic assist ance of a motorman on a Washington streetcar. The little outdoor vaude ville turn was arranged thus: Spanton started down Sixth street from the Postoffice at something less than 100 miles an hour. The garage was over four blocks away and he had only one night in which to get there, so he was in haste. The streetcar was coming up Washington street from Fifth at the rate Washington street cars usually travel when behind time. They met. The car hit the rear wheel of the auto and swung it completely around and sent it skidding straight for a cigar in the corner store. As entering a clgarstore 47 miles an hour sideways in an automobile is not as fashionable In Portland as is riding h bucking cayuse into a saloon in Arizona, Spanton thoughtfully aimed for ttie telephone pole and hit it. The streetcar stopped, the motorman and Spanton gave a delightfully life like representation of Alphonse and Gaston, the crowd offered its usual good advice, then the car and the auto went on and Portland's Saturday even ing free show was over. The rear axle of the auto was badly bent In the mixup.
