1 73 THE SUNDAY OREGOXUX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 23, 1903. TAMMANY SURE OFGOVEHNORSHP Safe and Sane Democrat Cannot Lose, Is Boss Mur- phy's Announcement. DIFFERENT AS TO BRYAN National Ticket of Xo Consequence In Big Chief's Opinion Thinks Hughes Row AVIII Split Ke publicans Wide Open. ' IXOTD F. I1XEROAX. N'EW TORK. Au?. 22. (Special.) Boss Murphy has Riven out a typewritten In terview with himself. In It he says: "I look for a party victory in Now fork State this Fall." An effort was made to induce him to be more specific. "Does your statement mean that you bMlve Bryan will carry New York?" lie wa asked, but the Tammany leader declined to commit himself further. Murphy will not say Pryan will get the 39 electoral votes of the Empire State. Personally he believes that Taft has a clear track, and that it is simply a mat ter of counting the votes and announcing the result. Eut the Tammany boss thinks there is a chance of the rmocratic state ticket pulling through, and he would like to annex the Governorship to his personal possessions. When t.ie various Democratic county chairmen were In town th" other day. Murphy had a pnreonal conversation with each WdT. And Ir is the question that he asked each man. "Who 'do the rank and file in the Re publican party want for Governor?" The bulk of the, answers were. "Hughes." snd Murphy discovered that the desire for a renominatlon Is wide spread It pleased him. Here is the sit uation as the boss looks at It. and hie ar gument sounds reasonable: If Hughes is turned don n. there Is bound to b a widespread revolt, and the Republican machine candidate will be slaughtered In 11 sections of the state. Should Hughes b. nominated. Murphy figures that the Republican bosses ill cut him. on the i.ea that they would be better off with a Democrat in the executive mansion at Albany than they would be with Hmrhes. "In the e'reumstancps." said Murphy the othr day. "we cannot lose, no mat ter mho the Republicans may nominate. All we need is a safe and sane nomina tion and hard work all around." McCarren Is Ghost-Dancing. But Pat McCarren is still off the reser vation, uttering loud cries. At the state committee meeting, which selected Roch ester as the convention city. McCarren was in attendance by virtue of a proxy. And he unburdened himself as follows: "Any state ticket nominated by Murphy and Conners will be beaten, horse, foot and dragoons. The people will not-stand for them." Whereat various othor members re proached McCarren for "making a noise like a Republican." Murphy Is counting entirely on Repub lican disaffection to elect his state ticket. He knows that a good many business men who are prominent In the organixation will vote for Taft. Some of them have frankly told him so. and he does not see any Republicans making tracks for the Brvan camp. Even the labor vote appears lo be divided along party lines this year. A man active in Tammany Hall, one of the district leaders who Is always con lulted by Murphy, consented to outline the political situation from the Democrat ic viewpoint. And here is the way he puts it: "Bryan has no more chance of carrying New York than he had in ln. There never was any real enthusiasm for Bryan in this state, and there Is. if anything, less than usual this year. We do not trust Bryan, and Bryan docs not trust us. The men who represent him here are out of touch with the organization, and al ways will be. Norman R. Mack was se lected as National chairman and Murphy was never consulted. Of course, it was s;ood politics for Murphy to indorse Mack ifterwards. but I do not believe it fooled anybody. Cheering Will Be Blurf. "Mack has devoted a good deal of his time since his appointment complaining that Murphy and Conners 'add to his bur dens.' All this has come back to us. And has not made the organization any the fonder of Mack. Tou will notice that nothing has been done in the campaign ing line, although Septc-mber Is only a few days away. There will be some cheering later, of course, but it will all be false motions. We are not anxious to see Bryan elected. If lie got in the White House, all the New York patronage would be doled out by Mack. Augustus Thomas, the playwriter. Willis Abbott, the ed itorial writer. and Harry Walker. Straight-out Tammany workers would not get a look In. So it would be much better if there was no Democratic patron age at all. "We have a rood chance of carrying our state ticket if we can only contrive hHn about harmony. The machine Republicans will not vote for Hughes. If he is up at Albany two years more he will batter their ring Into a collection plate. So they are prepared to give him what we handed Hearst two years ago. "From everything I can learn. Hughes will be the Republican candidate. He has a big personal following, and It is be ginning to get excit-J. If Hughes is turned down. Taft will lose many Repub lican and independent votes, for the Hughes crowd are the kind mat Tin scratch the whole ticket. They are con vinced that Roosevelt can name their man If he so decides, and I guess they are right. In consequence they are pre pared to 'get hunk' by trimming Taft. Could Not Injure Taft. "The nomination of Hughes woutd make clear sailing for Taft. as the machine men will vote for him anyhow.' and the independents would be pleased. But Barnes. Woodruff and that crowd woum turn over every vote they could to our 3ubernaiorlal Candidate, and don't you forget It. They are determined to make monkey out of Hughe, one way or the other. -We have straightened out some of the up-state rights, and the main trouble now is with McCarren. We all know he will carry the Brooklyn primaries, and Murphy wants to kirk Mm out of the convention, just as he did before. For my part I am against It. We will have th votes to nominate, and a minority cannot make any trouble unless it is ill-treated. This "martyrism of McCarren' has gained him many votes, and. if he is ousted it will undoubtedly hurt The sate ticket In Kirs County. "I don't know who our candidate will be. John B. Stanchfield had the inside track a while ago. but he has declined to allow his name to be considered. I sup pose in the. end we will take some Judge, so as to lend dignity td the ticket." In view of this statement, it Is a re jgarkabla coincidence that boom for Alton B. Parker has mads Its appearance within the pat tew days. What its fate will be can only be determined by time. Parker, as a delegate-at-large. went to the Denver convention determined to make trouble. Before he left New York he gave out copies of a eulogy of Grover Cleveland, which he Intended to present for consideration. It contained such a bitter attack on the present methods and doctrines of the Democratic party that the other New Tork delegates did not dare to speak to Parker on the train, and Western partv men waited with figura tive axe for his arrival In the Colorado metropolis. Farker in Good Standing. But Parker escaped with his life in some miraculous manner, later announced his acceptance of the ticket and also threatened to make speeches for Bryan and Kern. In consequence, from being an object of scorn and suspicion, he is again in good standing. A Wall street lawyer, who is responsi ble for the dragging of Parker s name Into the arena of politics, believes the nomination of the former Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, wouldmean the end of all party feuds. "Parker is strong where Bryan ' weak and vice versa." he says. "Parker is strong with conservative Democrats, and would get the vote of every man who followed Grover Cleveland. Bryan would land all the others. It would mean that the chasm which has divldeu the Demo cratic factions since 1S9S would be bridged, and men of every shade of feel ing would unite to defeat the common foe. With Bryan and Parker we would march to certain victory next November." "Well." commented another Democrat RVSSIAX AUTHORITIES OB JECT TrO CELEBRATION OF TOLSTOI'S 80TH BIRTHDAY. r-4 V Count Leo Tolntol. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 22. Preparations for the celebration of Count Leo Tolstoi's 80th birthday, on September 9, are strongly disapproved by the srovernment, and some of the authorities are bringing pres sure to bear to check the cele bration. The Ministry of Edu cation has vetoed the decision of the University of Kasan to con fer upon Count Leo Tolstoi an honorary membership. which corresponds to the honorary de grees of the American univer sities. not so enthusiastic. "We have marched to defeat with Bryan twice, and we have marched to defeat with Parkers once. God knows what would happen to us if we marched behind both of them." The most optimistic Democrat In the state today is the Hon. "Fingy" Conners, state chairman. "Bryan will carry the state by 100.000." he says. "It may be more, but it will not be one vote less. We will elect the Governor and all the other offices and carry both branches of the Legislature. I have 'made a careful canvass of the sit uation, and in addition have received secret reports from county chairmen, town leaders and others." Lest. Mr. Bryan become unduly elated, it might be mentioned that in October. 1906. Mr. Conners, when interviewed, made the following statement: Conners Gives Some Figures. "Hearst will be elected Governor by 101.000. and the other Democratic candi dates running with him will only be a few thousand votes behind. Hearst will have 150.000 plurality below the Harlem, and Hughes will not have to exceed aO.OOO in the up-state territory, while this plural ity may be entirely wiped out. We 'will control both branches of the Legislature by comfortable majorities." History shows that . Hearst was de feated by a trifle under 58.000, that his associates instead of "running a few thousand behind" were all elected. The Legislature instead of being Democratic stood. Senate. 32 Republicans. 19 Demo crats: Assembly. 99 Republicans. 51 Dem ocrats. With these few trifling changes. Flngy's prediction was remarkably accu rate. . Republicans do not agree with Murphy that the next Governor will be a Demo crat. They point out that there is Just as much strife inside one organization as there Is in the other, and that Republican quarrels have generally been settled be fore election day. - - "Our only bone of contention Is Hughes." said one district leader today, "but the leaders are too good party men to knife him. They realize that it would simply mean more trouble for Them in the future. , "The opposition party has all sorts of trouble. The average Democrat does not like Bryan, he dislikes Murphy, loathes Conners, and has no use (or McCarren. In fact if there is an all-around popular Democrat .in the state I would pay good money to have a look at him. No. it is going to be a Republican year just as it has been every November since 1894. when we drove David B. Hill out of power." The Dance, as a Barometer. Berlin Dispatch. . The slow, stately, graceful and serious minuet was popular at a time when coaches ran where we now have steam and electric cars, when we were not crowded for space and before the quicker movements had made the soothing old time music unpopular. By slow stages the dance became quicker and less grace ful, until it reached the boisterous level. But the turning point came with the wild gallop, arid a return to the con servative waltx seems certain. With ra tional Ideas of life comes the rational dance. No better time could have been chosen for the promotion of the Johann Strauss memorial, because we are re turning to the waltx age. which he dominated. There will always be eccen tric dances. When the cake walk and other dances, which only contortionists can perform, are old there will be others to take their places. The national dances should never be forgotten, for what can take the place of a fandango, a schaffler or a fling?

REASON FOR AIDING TAFT Wisconsin Man's Denunciation of Sunflower Leader Two Years Ago Has Its Echo In Present Campaign. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 22. (Special.) Probably no United States Senator In the West has been so systematically pursued than has Senator Chester I. -ong. of Kansas. For more than two years he has been marked for slaughter, and be owes all the trouble that has come to himself to Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin. Two years ago Senator La Follette came to Kansas on a lecture tour and spoke at six or eight places. His speech was prin cipally directed at Senator Long,..who he charged was in collusion with Aldrich and other Eastern Senators. La Follette made It appear that Long was antagonistic to President Roosevelt and his policies, and that his votes on many measures were cast as the "Interests" Indicated. W hen Senator la r oiirue came io &s two years ago to attack Senator Long he was a prospective candidate ior r-rei-dent. He knew that Long was allied with a powerful machine, and that it would be against the Wisconsin Senator. Long realized that La Follette was taxing the foundation for a La Follette movement In Kansas, as he counseled and advised with W. R. Stubbs and William Allen White, who started In to shape things for a La Follette delegation from Kansas. Long Immediately declared for Taft for President and lined up the ma chine for the Secretary of Wa'r. It was not long until Kansas was re garded as one of the strongest Taft states, and its early convention and de claration for Taft had much to do with the elimination of La Follette as a Presi dential possibility. Senator 1a Follette could not resist the temptation to come back to this state at the close of the recent primary campaign and urge the Republicans to defeat Long on the ground that he Is not a Republican. Reply to this and other charges made by La Follette against Senator Long, the latter said today: "In regard to Senator La Follette's statement that I am not a Republican Senator, I will state that, if La Follet tlsm is a test of Republicanism, then the Senator Is correct, but fortunately this is not the case. "The test was made at the recent Chi cago National convention. In the com mittee on resolutions La Folletteism had one vote against 32 for the Roosevelt and Taft platform. In the convention, out of 9S0 delegates, more than 900 voted against the prepositions La Follette distinctly represents. Among those who voted I against tne l-a ronene aineiiumcuvo . Khe 20 delegates from Kansas. The animus ana vinaicuvenews in equ ator La Follette's speech are due to the recent political occurrences in Kansas. Two years ago lea Follette came to the state and made a number of speeches at- . i i .

I was not favorable to his candi dacy, but instead was for Mr. . Tuft and favored a delegation, from Kansas that would support him. "The movement to procure a delegation for Senator La Follette In this state was abandoned after it became apparent that Kansas was for Taft.

PLANS TO WIN NEW YORK (Continued From First Page.) suggestions, and an approval of the re ports made by the heads of the bureaus, it was decided to call a meeting of the full committee with the various subcom mittees September 8, at 10 o'clock In this city. ., Bryan Has Many Callers. Within the next two weeks the dates for Mr. Bryan's speaking tour will prob ably be fixed by the National comrpittee. A constant stream of callers swept into headquarters today to greet Mr. Bryan, and tonight several local Democratic clubs serenaded him at his hotel. Mr. Bryan expressed himself as being more than pleased with the re ception given him in Des Moines. Speak ing of the outlook an, the more recent developments In the campaign Mr. Bryan said: "The situation is most satisfactory to me and the reports from the East and West are very pleasing. Excellent prog ress is being made. The Democrats of Minnesota have nominated a strong man in Governor Johnson and I am glad to see that he has accepted. Crowd Depot to See Bryan. - On his arrival Mr. Bryan was greeted at the railway station by Chairman Norman E. Mack. Colonel v eimore. ox the flnance committee of the campaign, and a score of party leaders and piom inent Democrats 'from Chicago and elsewhere- A rousing cheer went up as he stepped down from the platform of the sleeper and grasped the hands out stretched in welcome. Mr. Bryan looked refreshed and jovial after his night on the road, and declared that he felt fine. Greetings having been exchanged all around, the party proceeded through the station, where thousands of Dem ocrats had gathered to catch a glimpse of the Nebraskan. Their number had been augmented by patrons of the in-civmina- suburban trains until the sta tion was packed to its utmost capacity with an enthusiastic, cheering crowa, through which Mr. Bryan and his es cort passed along a lane, marked out by policemen detailed to guard the per son of the illustrious visitor, who bowed right and left in smiling ac knowledgment of the noisy tribute. Among other party chiefs who came to town to meet Mr. Bryan were Governor Johnson of Minnesota. Governor Patter son of Tennessee and John E. Lamb of Indianapolis. E. G. Garber. National committeeman from Ohio, said that it was planned to make a hard fight to carry the state and that the party was never in better shape to make a hard fight. He said he ex pected Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, to support the ticket. Mr. Bryan will spend Sunday quietly in this city and will leave with Chairman Mack and other members of the National committee to attend the Kern notifica tion on Monday noon. The candidate will leave for Salem.' 111., after the notifica tion, where he will make a brief speech. After speeches which have already been announced at Topeka. St. Paul. Chicago and Peoria.

BUYS NEW RACING YACHT Plant Will Add to Swirt Fleet Owned by Britons. LONDON. Aug-. 15. (Special.) Mor ton F. Plant has cabled an order to Mr. rierreshoff at Bristol. R. I., for a racing cutter ot the 23-meter class, which will be entered next Summer for all the leading- regattas of the British and Continental season. As a new boat for Myles B. Kennedy is already practically certain to be built, this en sures a year of almost record interest, for Shamrock, the projected Herres hoff boat and another White Heather will make as brilliant a trio as the pastime has ever known. One need not be surprised to hear of a fourth new boat if accounts, from Germany are to be. relied on. The new German-desigrned and German-built schooner has inspired the yachtsmen across the North Sea with a desire to try their luck with something; of Rreater mettle, and the talk is that the Kmperort might do worse than succeed the schooner Meteor with,, a cutter de signed and built at home. The Herreshoff order recalls to mind that exactly 12 years ago an order for a big cutter to race in British waters was in the hands of Mr. Herreshoff. W. Miles, of Southampton, and his brother were in fact under orders for America to stand by during Its con struction, when the mix-up took place at Spithead in which Baron von Zed witz was killed. Baron von ZedwitB owned the Herreshoff 52-rater Isolda that year, and his satisfaction with her was expressed in the order for the bigger boat mentioned. The Baroness is an American, and she was devoted to yachting untirthe dreadful accident. On the Baron's death the order was cancelled. i GROWING Four" rears ago Mr. Kaufman, pro prietor Eastern Hat Factory, started a hat cleaning shop, the embryo of the present Kasttrn hat factory. The enter prise proved successful and full of confidence lp his ability as a hatmaker and the satisfaction of his patrons, he took another store. 54 Third street, as a branch office. But the business has I been growing, the place Is now too small, ana on Augusi i nir. jvauiman moved his i,at factory into the. ground flO'ir of the Worcester building. 64 Third street, between Oak and Pine, where he installed up-to-date machin ery and will continue his business of repairing hats and making new hats to order, a business which has proved satisfactory and beneficial to the patrons of the Kastern Hat Company, And why? Because Mr. Kaufman in troduced the new system of bringing 1 hats in the rough state from the best Kastern manulacturers, and finishing them here In his own factory, which enables bin- to sell $4 hats for 12. He now ocenpifs an enviable position in the Portland business world in general :md hat making business In particular. Mr. Kaufman hopes that tne Portland hat buvers. who realize the efftciency of his work, will continue to patronize him.
