THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, 'POUTLAND, AUGUST 2, IUOS. aggressi-eeis prime requisite Candidate Thinks Governor Should Fight Legislature if Necessary. ROBINSON TO TAKE STUMP Purposes to Tell People of Washing ton How He Thinks Office or Executive Should Be Administered. OI.TMPIA. Aug. 1. (Special.) J. W. Robinson, of this city, apparently will ke the first of the candidate for Re publican (rubcrnatorlal honors to at tempt to hold purely political meet ing and address the voters from the platform. Heretofore the appearances of the irubernatorlal candidates in public have been at gatherings that would nave been held without the attendance of candidates, with the exception of possibly one or two in Whatcom County. Candidates have been backward about starting on stump-speaking trips because of the apathy of the -voters in ome sections and the fact that this the busy period in farming communi ties. Mead Men Fear Lark of Crowds. The Mead supporters have been dls tusning the matter, but have feared to - have the Oovernor start out with the Uncertainty of petting any great num ber of voters out to bear him. This fear Is not because the candidate Is rjovernor Mead, but because it is be lieved the turnouts would not be large lo hear anv candidate for- Governor. to attempt to hold two or three polit ical meetings and have them frosts would furnish capital for the other candidates who had not tried It them selves. Kobinson to Take Lead. Judge Robinson has been waiting for ;he other candidates to start out on tpeaklng tour, but is now tired of n-Hltinp and will take the lead" hint lelf. Ills opening address of the cam paign will be delivered in either Olym pla. Centralla or Aberdeen within a few days and the itinerary planned nc tides also Vancouver, Walla Walla, Colfax. Spokane, North Yakima and Tacoma In about the order named. The end of the campaign will be spent in Pierce and King Counties. In a statement given to the press today Judge Robinson says that he will give the people of this state "facts with reference to certain officials and their conduct in office which will as tonish all those who believe in honesty and decency in official life." . Scheme of Mead's Friends. The believed'to-be almost impossible feat of getting the voters out to a purely political meeting caused an at tempt to be made to make the laying of the cornerstone of the Governor's mansion in this city today a gathering of semi-political Import. The commit tee having in charge the celebration invited Governor Mead to deliver the principle address and the Governor has accepted. A few days ago friends of some of the other candidates suggested to the committee that It would add In terest to the event if all the other gubernatorial candidates of both par ties were also Invited to be present and deliver short addresses. The committee turned down the suggestion. Later an attempt, to secure the pres ence of the other candidates was In stituted by Olympla men not connected with arranging the programme for the day. It was planned to take all of them to the grounds in an open car riage with a rearrangement that the uninvited candidates would be called for by numerous men in the audience. This plan failed because the candidates refused to enter Into the scheme. Olympla is supposed to be a Mead stronghold and the men In charge of the celebration are business men who J feel under obligations to him for his i veto of the rapltol removal bill in 19J5. An attempt to divide the honors of the occasion with other candidates, if car ried out. undoubtedly would have re sulted In lively times at the gathering. Statement by Robinson. Judge Robinson will likely have to start his campaign on crutches, as the result of the fracture of his ankle sev eral weeks ago. His statement follows in part: ' . . . I believe tha the Governor of this state ought to b .nnrresive .n his demands upon th- Lrrilature In the interest of the people because he is the executive and hence the official head of all the people; and he should know their needs and wishes and -should see to it that the legislature enacts such laws and If nominated and- elected Governor I prom ise thr the -legislature will not overlook Its duties to tite people without a scrap from me. and the. citizens -of this state hall know what members of the Ivsls ture. if any. violate their confidence. I firmly -believe that the Governor of the state should keep In touch with not only what o- on in the Legislature but as well what Is done by public officials, and that wherever he Is satisfied that there Is Corruption or Improper influences being -used, or scandals connected with, the administration of the affairs of state, he should make a thorough Investigation and Vu the people know who are faithful to their trusts. I d not. mean that a Governor Ought to boss the Legislature or anybody else no spirit of that kind: but I do believe that he ought to se to it that the Legislature does its duty to the people and that there shall be no dishonesty or corruption or neglect of duty among state officials. There r a number of subjects con nected with the administration of the affairs of this state which I desire to talk over with the people during this campaign. There are a great many In stances of abuse and neglect of official duty, and dishonesty and corruption In office of a few state and county officials in this state, which have come to my knowledge, and I'll not hesitate to dis cuss these matters with the people In a perfectly candid and fearless manner. ALBANY FIRE LOSS $10,000 Daylight Estimates Cot Down Fig ures at Iron Foundry. A LB ANT. Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) An examination this morning of the plant of the Albany Iron Works, a large por tion of which was wrecked by fire last night, shows that the valuable ma chinery In the machine shop of the plant has suffered very little damage and this will reduce the first estimates of the loss. State Senator Frank J. Miller, sec i etary-treasurer of the company, who !:ist night placed the loss at K0.000. thinks, after a daylight examination of the plant, that the loss will not greatly exceed $10,000. The total Insurance car i :-d on the plant was t?500. but It has tot been determined by tie adjusters how much of this will directly cover the part of the plant burned. The main building of the plant, which was a wooden structure, was composed of three buildings Joined together with out intervening walls, forming two long ells. This contained the molding-room, or foundry, the machine shop and office. The molding-room was completely de stroyed and only the frame work stands of the machine shop. The office was only partially gutted. Tue patternmak Ing shop and the blacksmith shop, both of which were completely destroyed, were In separate buildings adjoining the mold ing-room. Though the machine shop was entirely gutted, constant streams of water were kept on the valuable machin ery of the plant and that accounts for the relatively small loss caused by the Are. About 1100 worth of patterns, which were in use in work then in progress, were burned. With the exception of these few. the company's valuable pat terns, worth J10.000. were all In the big brick warehouse, the only building of the' plant which was saved without any damage. The announcement made last night while the flames were still eating up the plant that it would be rebuilt, has been repeated today. The officers in charge of the plant did not desire to make a definite announcement until a meeting of stockholders could be held, but said there was no doubt but that the burned buildings would be replaced. The Iron Works did a big business and is one of Albany's largest industries. It was the largest foundry in the state out side of Portland. JIT MASON'S I..1V COIXXEUSTOXn FOK EXKCTTIVK MANSION. Governor Mead and Other State and Grand Lodge Officers Take Part In Services. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 1. Special.) Before a large assembly composed chiefly of Olympla people the corner stone of the executive mansion author ized by the 1907 Washington Legislature, was laid this afternoon with Masonic rites by the officers of the grand lodge A. F. and a. M. of Washington. The ceremonies were impressive and the speechmaking accompanying the ex ercises Interesting. The cornerstone lay ing, which was preceded by music and the convocation by Rev. J. W. Flesher. pastor of the First Methodist Church, of Olympla. was conducted according to Masonic rites by Royal A. Gove, of Ta coma. most worshipful grand master, as sisted by other Masonic grand officers. Prominent Olympla Masons served In the absence of other grand lodge officers. In the copper box contained in the cornerstone were a number of articles, a list of which was read by the master, the box having been previously sealed. George G. Mills, of the building com mission, having in charge the erection of the mansion, presided. J. H. Schlvely, Deputy State Insurance Commissioner and master of Harmony lodge. No. 18. of Olympla. was orator. Governor Al bert E. Mead and State Auditor C. W. Claussen, who are the other two mem bers of the building commission, to gether with J. G. Megler. of Wahkiakum County, also gave brief addresses. The executive mansion, the construc tion of which will now be rushed, will be ready for occupancy about January 1. 1909. It is being erected at a cost of X3S.000. the site being Just west of the completed foundation for the Jl. 000.000 capltol building, abandoned some years ago. Situated in a pretty grove, with a commanding view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, the mansion will occupy one of the most attractive spots In the Olympla state capital.

EXEMPTION CLAUSE VOID Household Goods Must Be Taxed With Other Property. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. L (Special.) Ac cording to an opinion received from State Attorney-General Crawford no ex emptions for household goods or other personal property can be allowed on the 1908 assessment roll. Assessor Comeltus was intending to allow the $300 exemption In accordance with the law passed at the recent session of . the . Legislature. To ascertain, however, if the allowance was permissible, he wrote to the Attorney General and today he received an opin ion from that officer as follows: Replying to yours of the 24th Inst., rela tive to the 300 exemption on personal prop erty, passed at the. last eesslon of the Leg islature, permit me to say that the Su preme Court of thl. state held the old art. which was almost Identical, to be unconsti tutional and must, therefore, hold the pres ent act Invalid. Therefore the exemption can not be allowed on the 118 roll. Big Hay Crop In Tillamook. TILLAMOOK. Or.. Aug. L (Special.) The hay harvest will be completed this week, with the exception of oat hay.

THREE DEMOCRATS OUTFOR GOVERNOR Pattison, Splavvn and Byrne to Make Contest Within , Minority Party. THIS HELPS REPUBLICANS Lessens Opportunity for Opposition to Knter Primaries Under False Colors and Nominate Weak Candidates. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 1. f Special.) There are now three men who have filed formal declarations of candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor: John Pattison, of Colfax: A. J. Splawn, of North Yakima, and P. S. Byrne, of Spokane. The coming out of Splawn Is directly traceable to the Democratic conference held In Tacoma last Monday, in which 200 Democrats worked themselves up to COMMON SCHOOL FUND IS LARGEST IN STATE'S HISTORY SALEM, Or., August 1. (Special.) The following report of State Treasurer Stel shows the annual apportionment of the state irreduci ble school fund, which is made on the first day of August of each year. Taken with the April apportionment of $119,100, the total is $256,067.20. the largest apportionment in the state's history: COUNTY. Baker Benton .... iackamai . Clatsop Columbia . . Cous Crook Curry . Douglas . . Gilliam Grant , Harney lacrcson . . . . Joseohlna . . K la math . . .

Waso Washington Wheeler Yamhill Total the Idea that there is chanc-s for car rying a part of the stata ticket this Fall If strong candidates are named. In spite of the Republican plurality ot 4U,vu in 190. . At the Tacoma conference the Demo crats even went so far as to plan the campaign to tx held after the primaries, the details to depend upon whom the Re publicans nominated. If McBride is the Republican nominee the Democrats will attempt to make the liquor question the principal Issue of the campaign on the ground that McBride. While Governor, vetoed a local option bill. If Mead is the nominee, more atten tion will be paid to state finances. The last Legislature, while it undeniably made large appropriatlonsv also passed several bills providing for transfers of funds and changes in the keeping of the Treasurer's accounts which will pro vide figures that will puzzle the brain of anvone but an expert accountant. n Mead is nominated, both sides will be able to sling statistics at each other that 111 make tariff figures look like simple addition. Cosgrove Looms on Horizon. Plans so far formulated have not taken Into account the possibility of the nom ination of Atkinson or Cosgrove. Cos grove, although frequently an . aspirant for office, has never yet held a state position, and Is not open to attack on his record. Atkinson has been State Auditor and is now Attorney-General, and while he . has had extended legal and routine connections with all the state departments, he - has had no executive control outside of the two offices held. . The making of the Democratic nomi nation for Governor a matter of contest has furnished one source of relief for the Republicans by eliminating the prob ability of any great number of . Demo crats participating In the Republican primaries. The Democrats would have preferred a- one-man ticket and the Ta coma conference, had It been a conven tion, would have nominated Splawn for Governor. Pattison was in the way, however, he. having participated In the line at the Secretary of State's office and filed his declaration the. first day.. The only way to get Splawn on the ticket was to have him make a contest for the place. Pattison not being disposed to withdraw. Byrne has been an avowed candidate for several months. In the Republican contest for the Gub ernatorial nomination the past week has witnessed the opening tip of the Mead batteries on Cosgrove. Cosgrove Is now recognized as being in the danger zone so far as Mead and McBride are 'con cerned in the corralling of the bulk of the first choice votes. ' The Pomeroy veteran has heretofore been looked upon as a stronger second choice than first choice candidate. It has been figured that he would get a good percentage of the sectjjjd choice ballots of electors who voted first choice for Mead or McBride. Complications on Second Choice. . The acknowledgment of Cosgrove as a first-choice vote-getter does not clear up the situation much, or make predictions as to the outcome of the primary elec tion more definite. If Cosgrove is getting first choice votes away from Mead and McBride, u con sequently is true that in so doing he must give up the second-choice votes the same voters had been intending to give him. A first-choice vote won . away from Mead or McBride, it Is argued, would naturally go to the voter's second choice favorite. On this theory Cosgrove's gain Is off-set by an equal loss, provided, of course, that the second choice provision becomes op erative. If he becomes so strong that he can get 40 per cent of the first-choice votes the fight is his. But with the second-choice provision operative, the question arises as to where the electors won over to Cosgrove will cast their second-choice votes. Will they go back to Mead ac to McBride or will 1 they go to Atkinson or one of the other candidates? If they go to Mead or McBride the situation Is unchanged. If they go else where Mead and McBride have been weakened by Cosgrove's gain and the other candidates have been strengthened. The indications as seen by politicians here are that if no appreciable stampede to any of the present candidates occurs between now and the primaries the vote of the party will be pretty well scattered on the Governorship. Brings Out Many Candidates. If this is true the theoretical virtue of the freak second-choice provision of the Washington primary Jaw does not exist in practice. When it was placed in the act it was argued that it would prevent the nomination of a candidate by a small percentage of the vote of his party. It was claimed that a candidate without the second-choice provision, with several running,' might be nominated for office by a small fraction of the vote of his party when if he was one of two candidates only he would get but few more votes than the number that nominated him in the other instance. The practical working of the second choice provision has been to bring out twice as many candidates for the office of Governor as would otherwise have run and to double the number of votes to be counted. The average man cannot see much difference between dividing 200,000 votes among eight men, giving one a small plurality, and dividing 100,000 votes among four men and giving one a small plurality.

At Mr. Evars' they entered his bedroom, carried his pants down Into the dining-room, lit a lamp and rifled his pockets. They also entered the bedroom of Miss Gllless, a guest, opened a bureau drawer and took' her pocketbook. At Dr. Newth's they secured $28. leaving a pocket knife and several checks. Mr. Bennett was relieved of only a small amount. They also attempted to enter the resi dence of Rev. J. R. Parker, but were frightened away. No clue or trace of the thieves can be found. . There were a number of tramps and strangers In town yesterday. FIGHT ON OCCUPATION TAX Seaside Residents I n in Arms Against Action of Council. 'SEASIDE, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) What promises to be a bitter fight is promised between the City . Council and the various business and occupa tion factors of Seaside. The trouble sprang from ordinance No. 141, which provides for a. tax on every business In the city. It is claimed by those op posed to It that the ordinance Is un fair in that It does not discriminate between occupations that involve large sums of money and those of smaller amounts. To prove this statement the sawmill, with a cutting capacity of 60,000 feet a day. Is taxed $25, and a clothing store doing a small business is to pay a 115 tax. Those opposed to the ordinance to the number . of 30 have signed an agreement to fight It through all the courts. The contest will be precipi tated by the first arrest for a viola tion of ordinance No. 141. West Seaside, stirred by the exam ple of her sister town, promptly met in Council "and passed a similar ordi nance. The fight against the West Seaside ordinance promises to be a serious one, and a test will be made as to whether persons who are non residents can hold office legally In that little city. Taken all In all, the two Seasides promise some excitement in the near future. It Is said that Senator Fulton has been retained by those opposed to the . ordinance, while Mr. Spittle, as sisted by able counsel, will represent the city. BAD YOUTH IS PARDONED Mathew Kizer, Confirmed Burglar, Reappears at Long Creek. LONG CREEK, Or., July 30. Mathew Kizer, who was sent to the Penitentiary" last January to serve a two-year sen tence for burglary, "has been pardoned. ana appeared in Long creek today. Kizer is a youth of 15 and has a record for criminality. Previous to his sentence he had been on parole for a year for repeated burglaries and was sent to Sa lem as a last resort. On the night of November 27, 1907, he broke into the Long Creek Mercantile Company's store and took a quantity of goods. He was arrested and put in the town Jail. The night of December 3 the Jail was burned to the ground and Kizer escaped. . He was afterwards captured in a running fight and bound over to the Circuit Court. The action of the Governor is a com plete surprise here as no one In Grant County, except the mother, knew that such action was pending. Rosenthal's windows are money-savers. SMGLES GOING Trade Conditions Improve at Aberdeen. BIG MILL OPENS THURSDAY Demand for . Product Comes From Kail Trade Coast Markets Offer Very Little Kneourage ment, Say Millnicn. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Augr. 1. (Special.) While no official announcement of an Increase In the price of shingles has been made, yet shingle manufacturers In Aberdeen are confident that it will be but a few days bofore the quotations are raised 10 or 15 cents over the present price of $1.0 a thousand. The fact that so many inquiries are being received here is an indication that the trade Is assuming briskness and will have a grat ifying result. The inquiries are exclusively from the rail trade, according to a prominent manufacturer, and this has stimulated the industry. Coast business, however. Is said to be at the level that has pre vailed for some time and dealers are not expecting an Increase until the Fall. They are really more certain of the out looli at this time than they have been for months past. The output has been somewhat curtailed and stocks more or less depleted. After remaining idle for three months, the Lumber & Shingle Company at South Aberdeen will be started up next Thurs day morning. One hundred men will be placed at work. The Aberdeen Lumber & Shingle Com pany's properties were closed down fol lowing the financial panic and the de moralization of the lumber trade. In the last week, glowing reports of con ditions on the Coast have been received and the orders received have been suf ficiently encouraging to bring about a re sumption of operations in the lumber mill. Announcement that work would posi tively start next Thursday was made this morning by E. Hulbert, managing owner of the company. STOCKMEN M AGGRIEVED ALLEGE rXFAIR TREATMENT BV SUPERVISORS. Declare Tracts Surrounded Deeded Lands Are In Viola tion of Agreement. by LONG CREEIC. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) A new cause for contention has arisen In the National Forestry administration, between the officials and the stockmen. Considerable deeded land which lies be tween sections of Government timber land has been leased by stockmen and there is dissatisfaction over its control, as the land is partly and in some cases totally surrounded by deeded land. Stockmen claim that supervisors, are not living up to their promise to block this land for men who have leased the range on private lands. The question of water and trails becomes a serious one in some localities where Government pieces and regulations interfere with the requirements of stock. It Is also claimed by stockmen that In the Umatilla National Forest the agree ment regarding trails into the forest has been broken and that the Supervisors do not insist upon stockmen living up to the agreement, and permit stockmen to infringe upon each others' rights In going to and from the mountains.
