14 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 1920 REGISTERED VOTERS IN SEATTLE 109,871 45 Per Cent of Washington's Vote in King County. 'PRIMARY IS ON TUESDAY Candidates for Nominations Mass Forces on West Side for Final Drive of . Campaign. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 11. Regis tration in Seattle ,for the primaries next Tuesday is 109,871 and in King county outside Seattle 17.265, a total of 127.136 for the entire county. State registration is 280.000 In round fig ures, so that more than 45 per cent of the registered vote of the state is In King county. These figures serve to indicate Just why the republican candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor flocked to Seattle in the closing -days of the campaign and massed their forces on the west side for the final drive. Jonrl Maintains Lead. United States Senator Jones has maintained the lead throughout the state in the contest for senatorial nomination. Colonel Inglis, Forest L. Hudson, the latter the candidate of the organized railway men of the state, and Frank Erickson of Everett are the other candidates, and prob ably will run In the order named. George F". Cotterill is unopposed for the democratic nomination. There are three candidates on the republican ticket seeking the nomi nation for congress in the 1st district. Representative Miller of Seattle, Frank Fierce of Harper,. Kitsap county, and H. Alvln Moore, a rail road man of Seattle. Miller is the favorite in this race, although none of the candidates has made what might be called an aggressive pri mary campaign. Hugh C. Todd is the democratic nominee. Representative Hadley of the 2d district, republican, is unopposed in his own party, and the democrats did not put up a can didate against him. Representative Johnson, in the 3d district, has no republican opposition. Miller la Unopposed. G. P. Flshburne of Tacoma will make the race for the democrats. In the 4th district Representative Sum mers is opposed in the republican primary by Captain E. K. Brown, an ex-service man and former member of the legislature from Ellensburg. Fred Miller of Colfax is the democratic candidate without opposition. Interest in the congressional con tests centers on the 5th district where Representative Webster is opposed by Tom Corkery, the candidate .of the Non-partisan league, the railway men's welfare league and all radical elements. Organized labor In the 5th district has united its forces and fac tions in an endeavor to defeat Judge Webster for the nomination, but this radical opposition has served to unite the conservative forces. The demo crats have but one candidate. Mayor Fleming of Spokane, so that Judge Webster will have to fight everyinch of the ground for nomination and lection. Gubernatorial Contest Uncertain. If betting decided elections, the bettors would be In a quandary as to whom to put their money on for the republican nomination for governor. The contest has notsimmered down to a sure thing for any of the lead ing candidates. Hartley, Hart, Co man, Gellatly and Lamping are all the beneficiaries of group support. Hartley is a slight favorite in the betting, with Hart a close second. The odds might change over night, how ever, because of the uncertainty of what is known as the radical vote which is behind the farm-labor party movement: If the third party decides to Invade the republican primaries on Tuesday, it might put a different as pect on the standing of the leading candidates. John Stringer is not con sidered a factor in the contest nor is Anna MacEachern. John A. Gellatly has been hammer ing away in every part of the state for several weeks, and undoubtedly has won many friends. Analysis of the situation in reference to Gellatly would place him in the position of the man of mystery, nobody caring to hazard a guess as to his strength, but everybody admitting that he has the field puzzled. Gellatly proved himself a campaigner of ability and a forceful speaker. Drys Indorse Gellatly. The announcement tonight that Gellatly has corralled the indorse ment of the state prohibition party caused somewhat of a furore in po litical circles. Telephone wires to Tacoma were kept hot to verify the report. W. W. McDowell, state chair man of the party, whose home la in Tacoma, is said to have declared that the entire party organization had been working quietly for Gellatly for some time, and would continue to do so. He further said the party sup port was unsolicited. Senator Coman of Spokane has made extraordinary gains on the west side since the arrival of E. E. Flood. Frank M. Goodwin and Julius Zlttel to manage his campaign here. It Is his assertion that he will come to the west side with 25,000 votes to spare next Tuesday. Jndd-Black Honors TCven. In the democratic contest for gov ernor. Senator Judd of Chehalis is making the fight for the Lister fac tlon against Judge Black of Everett and Mayor Mathes of Bellingham. Senator O'Hara of Seattle Is running as a labor democrat, but his can didacy has attracted no support in labor circles, where he should be strongest. Organized labor has aligned itself with the farmer-labor party. The democratic contest Is be tween Judd and Black, with honors about evenly divided. W. W. Conner has made the most progress in the republican cantest for lieutenant-governor. Conner came into the fight later than the others, but lost no time in submitting his candidacy to the people. His most aggressive competitors have been Senators Phipps of Spokane and E. L. French of Vancouver. Former Sena tor Sharpstein of Walla Walla and William J. Coyle of Seattle are the other candidates. ComnerO Acquaintance Lara. The strength of Conner's candidacy lies in nis large acquaintance through out the state, his four terms as a member of the lower house of the leg lsiature, one oi wnich he served as speaker, and the Important legislation handled by him as floor leader. Yes terday the railway employes of the state took a hand In Conner's candi dacy, circulating a statement Issued by James A. Gannon to the effect that had It not been for Conner's per sonal efforts in the session of 1915, over which he presided as speaker, the full train crew law would have been repealed. "The bill was repealed In the sen. ate and saved in the house by Senator 1 Conner. Tou should see all railroad men are advised that it was Conner alone who saved the full crew bill," wired Mr. Gannon to Ed L. Hamilton, locomotive engineer on the Milwau kee. Senator French has served 12 years in the legislature, house and senate, and Senator Phipps ten years in the house and senate. H. C. Bohlke of Grandvlew, a former member of the house from King county, is the dem ocratic candidate without opposition. Secretary of State Hlnkle and Clark V. Savidge, commissioner of public lands, are unopposed for the repub lican nominations. Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, who is serving her second term as super intendent of public instruction, is op posed by Mrs. Elizabeth Catherine Montgomery of Bellingham as the democratic candidate. State Insurance Commissioner Fishback has as his op ponent for the republican nomination Captain Robert E. Dwyer of Seattle, an ex-service man and former mem ber of the legislature. Jesse F. Murphy of Seattle filed on the demo cratic ticket. Attorney-General L. L. Thompson of Olympia and Thomas Francis Hunt of Seattle are candi dates for attorneygeneral, with John W. Hanna of Wenatchee as the dem ocratic candidate. Babcock Leads Contest. Clifford L. Babcock, former member of the legislature from Clallam county, is leading in the contest for state treasurer In a field of three republican aspirants. John B. Orton of Aberdeen and John L. Murray of Friday Harbor are the other candi dates. C. C. Gibson of Davenport is the democratic nominee. C. W. Claus sen, state auditor, serving his fourth term in that position, is opposed by George A. Bundy of Seattle for the republican nomination. No democrat filed for this -office. With the exception of the contest for governor, there are no democratic primary contests for state offices. At the democratic conference held in Seattle a month ago, members of the party were drafted for service and urged to file for the offices as a duty they owed the party rather than with the expectation that they would win in November. Although the dem ocrats elected the governor of the state in 1912 and 1916, they carried no other state offices, nor were they successful In capturing either branch of the legislature. Pactional Fight la Factnrc. This year they are concentrating on the head of the national ticket and practically no effort has been ex pended on the state contests. The fight between the Lister and Black factions is the only feature of inter est in the democratic primaries, but it represents a breach so serious that no effort will be spared to cast the full democratic vote on Tuesday. The farmer-labor party will meet in convention at the Labor temple Tuesday morning and nominate a state ticket headed by Robert Bridges for governor. Seven presidential elec tors also will be nominated and, it is announced, a complete state and congressional ticket, although indica tions are that no nominations will be made for congress in the 5th district and perhaps United States senator. Nearly all of the candidates to be nominated by the third party will first be "recommended" to the state convention by the state central com mittee, which is another way of handpicklng nominees.

NAHANT, Mass.. Sept. 11. Senator Lodge, in an address here today, at tacked what he said was the effort of President Wilson to make of the United States a one-mah government. The president's conception of gov ernment, he said, is that of the third Napoleon. He charged that the presi dent had established "such a reign of terror over many representatives and senators of his own party that the legislative powers of the constitution granted to congress alone were im paired and distorted." Senator Lodge said President Wil son's Autocratic administration af fected every department of the gov ernment. The navy and war depart ments, he said, were marked by "a favoritism in appointment oh one hand and on the other a vindictive spirit toward officers not liked by the secretaries." Barnett's Hemoval Cited. As instances he gave the removal of General Barnett, who was com mandant of marines during the war; refusal of President Wilson and Sec retary Baker to permit Theodore Roosevelt to raise a division of vol unteers after congress gave author ity; "the treatment of General Wood" and the fact that General Edwards, senior brigadier-general when war was declared, after leading the 26th division in action overseas, is still the senior brigadier-general, and re cently has been deprived of his com mand of the northeast department. "One of the leading demands of the republican platform and one of the issues which Senator Harding has most strongly emphasized is that we should bring the government back o the system and the forms of the con stitution which we have always fol lowed thus far," said Senator Lodge. "We all know in a general way what this means and I believe the people appreciate the dangers of the system Mr. Wilson has endeavored to substi tute for the methods of the constitu tion." Wilson Is Quoted. ne senator quoted from a passage in one of President Wilson's books as illustrating his conception of gov ernment and continued: "By his acts also is his conception shown to be that of the third Napo leon, an autocrat elected by a plebis cite uncontrolled by any intervening egislative or Judicial authority. It was impossible for Mr. Wilson to obtain a league of nations without assent of the senate, but he endeav ored to evade and. practically nullify the rightful power of the senate by attaching to the treat of peace with Germany, which everybody desired, the covenant of the league of nations. which ought to have been separately considered because it bound the coun try for an Indefinite future. His plan was simple. He aimed to compel the senate to- ratify the covenant by forc ing upon them the alternative of holding up the treaty of peace wtth Germany, which ,all men desired to have disposed of at once. Senate Coarse Justified. 'Colonel House recently has stated publicly that if we had followed ihe course -advocated In the senate be fore the negotiations began and made the treaty of peace with Germany at once immediately after the armis tlce, it would have been complete and ready for ratification by Christmas. 'Mr. Wilson has adopted the auto cratic method in another direction He has carried on his relations with foreign nations and his negotiations largely through personal agents. Senator Lodge mentioned in this connection Bayard Hale and Colonel House. "These cases in a very general way, the senator concluded, "illustrate the dangers to which Mr. Wilson's theory of government has exposed us and there is nothing more important than to bring our government back to the observance of the constitutional pro visions under which we have lived and prospered " - I 1 OREGON'S GUARD LARGEST State Leads Both Washington 'and Idaho In Recruiting. OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Sept. 11. National guard recruiting is progressing slowly in most states, according to announce ment by the war department.

BONUS IS HELD PENSION CHECKS GIVEX SOLDIER EX EMPT FROM ATTACHMEXT. trfl THE SHOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR Judge McConrt Rules That Execu tion Cannot Apply to Boun ties of Government. The $60 bonus awarded a soldier at his discharge at the end of the world war is classed as a pension, and there fore exempt from attachment and execution, in a decision handed down by Circuit Judge McCourt yesterday. The.case in which this opinion was given involved an ex-soldier named Chandler, whose $60 bonus check from the government had been seized and was being held by the sheriff at the demand of a creditor. Judge McCourt yesterday ordered the voucher re leased from attachment, and said that the person "who had placed it there had violated a trust created when the envelope containing the check fell into bis hands. "Pensions are defined to be the bounties of the government paid to an individual in consideration of services rendered or in recognition of merit, civil or military," ruled Judge McCourt. "A pension usually is paid In (sums at stated periods, but I do not think that this is necessary incident to a-, pension. The government might pay the whole sum at once, and it does not deprive the bounty of its characterization as pension because paid in one payment. "I ami of the opinion that the voucher attempted to be attached in this case comes within the definition and meaning of a pension under ths statutes which exempt the same from execution or attachment."
