The campaign waged by Governor West to clean up the Port land road house3 deserves hearty support from all good citizens. Whether he is justified in usiing the state militia and destroy ing the property is a legal question, not moral. " His calling down the Salem chief of police for drunkenness and immorality in this city has also been effective. Whether it will result in his using the state militia is not yet known, but it will hardly come to that extreme. Owing to the railroad camps and other causes Salem has had an unusual share of dissipated floating population lately. The fact that these transients who get drunk are run in and . fined is rather to the credit of the city administration. The Ferry street red light district was supposed to have been cleaned up by the ministerial association two years ago. By asking an amendment to the city laws giving him control of the police last December, Mayor Lachmund shifted the re sponsibility. The people voted down, what they might adopt now, the ordi nance to give the mayor suprme power to appoint the chief and all nolice. The Capital Journal made the first fight to have the laws en forced against drunks in this city when Gibson was chief of po lice. Salem is the last city in the world that should covet the repu tation of favoring immorality and drunkenness. We have boasted that moral conditions here were better than in any western city of its size, and that boast in the past has been true. Salem has fewer saloons and less vice and immorality than towns of half the size in the East or West. But if conditions can be improved let us help make them bet ter, and uphold our good reputation. ELECTRIFYING THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY. The annonuncement of the S. P. Co. plans for electrification of its Willamete valley interurban system is a very important mat ter. It is not alone the expenditure of twenty million dollars for this modernizing of the lines, but the effect on all property val ues. Cities like Salem and Albany will become the centers of great networks of lines like Pasadena and Los Angeles, Cal. The inteurban conditions in the great fruit district of Southern California will be reproduced here in the Willamette valley. The announcement coming from Superintendent Campbell and Vice-President Calvin means more than former announcements. These men seem to have more authority to speak and act for the Harriman system than their predecessors and seem willing to act. .... Their predecessors were not in a position to take any initiative and had little or no authority this side of New York headquar ters. Superintendent Campbell is a man who harmonizes and has great ability to secure appropriations, and for expending the same. He is probably the greatest actual railroad builder who has ev er been placed in authority over Harriman properties. He expended about wenty millions building the Portland and Seattle joint line for the Hill and Harriman systems. He did that work quietly and effectively in about fifteen months, and it is the finest piece of railroad work that has been constructed in the Northwest of late years. Campbell's coming to this section will prove a godsend to the Harriman interests, as he is rapidly gaining the eonfidence of the comunities in which he is operating. It will also be the 'greatest asset for creating values and in creasing the wealth of all Western Oregon. FIRST BALLOT WAS TAKEN AT 7 O'CLOCK THIS MORIHIIG CLARK HAS A STRONG LEAD Convention Held All Night Session, Adjourning This Morning at 7:15 One Ballot Taken Which Gives Clark 440, Wilson 324 and Underwood 1 1 1 It Requires 730 to Nominate, so the Fight is Still a "Free for All"-Burke of South Dakota Released Delegates and They Voted for Wilson. zealous Clarkite finally gave up In difgust for lack of encouragement. After an hour's demonstration for Clark the roll of states was continued. For Arkansas, Governor-elect Joseph Robinson seconded Clark's nomina tion. For California Theodore A. Bel) did the an me. Connecticut, next on the list, nom inated Governor Simeon E, Baldwin, through Henry Wade Rogers of New Haven. Although comparatively small In numbers, the Baldwin men made a good showing with their cheering squad, and used up 15 mluntes blow ing horns and serpentining through the aisles. Wilson Gets Hot Welcome. When Delaware was called she gave way to New Jersey, and the fire works were cut loose through John Westcott of Camden, who was recog nised to nominate Governor Woodiow Wilson as a candidate. Before WestCQtt started the galler ies had risen enmasse. Dozens of Wilson lithographs, hoisted on um brellas, canes, fishing poles, in gome cases on chair rungs, were rallied lit every section of the hall. Deafening shouts rocked the armory. The Del aware and Ohio delegates were the first to catch the contagion on the floor. It spread like wild fire through the western progressive state dele gation, and their lusty throated rep resentatives took up the yelling. The many tonguea roar was literally deaf ening. . Then the parade started. The entire demonstration, the , longest of the night, was remarkable chiefly for the concerted action between floor and galleries. With Wilson in nomination the roll of states was finally continued- Marshall dominated. J. Randolph-Anderson of Savannah seconded the Underwood nomination for Georgia and Douglas Patterson of Freeport, 111., seconded that of Clark for Illinois. Indiana was reached at 4:40 a. m., and Senator Shively presented the claims of Governor Marshall. As Shively mentioned Marshall's name, the band blared out, "On the Banks of the Wabash" and the Indianians capped tho demonstration with due credit to themselves and the candi date. When Michigan was called, Judge P. 0. Laurium seconded the Wilson nomination, and John E. Kinnane of Bay City lauded Clark. For Minnesota, A. C. Weiss of Du- luth seconded the Wilson nomination.' Harmon Named. M. A. Daugherty of Lancaster Ohio, put In nomination Governor Judson Harmon In a speech filled with fiery oratory that amused an entertained the sleepy delegates. While he talked an exodus from the galleries was In progress, and by the time he had concluded there was only a corporal's guard of spectators left. . ; Charles F. Tew of Greeley, Colo., seconded Clark's nomination. Senator Gore of Oklahoma pleased the delegates when he declared that "Oklahoma's democracy is united for a candidate who can win." He praised and seconded Wilson's nomination Gore declared that, if the democrats did not nominate a progressive candi date on a progressive platform, they could not expect to secure the sup port of the progressive republicans, who he said, would go to Theodore Roosevelt before they support a reao tlonary democrat Scott Ferris of Oklahoma seconded Clark's nomination, . Pennsylvania Favors Wilson, When Pennsylvania was reached, Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer sec onded Wilson, praising the New Jer sey governor's remarkable record as chief executive of New Jersey. "Under such a leader, he shouted, ' Pennsylvania can and will be re deemed. Congressman Flynn of Virginia sec onded Underwood's nomination, per sisting In an. oratorical effort, despite demands from all over the hall that he "cut it out and let us go home to breakfast." John Walsh of Wisconsin seconded Wilson's nomination, or at hast said he did when he passed the press seats. He might just as well have been doing a pantomime stunt when on the rostrum, as tho delegates made such a din, Joshing him and telling him to "cut out the hot air," that not a word he said was understood. Alaska for Suher. The same fate was meted out to Senator Smith of South Carolina, sec onding Wilson, and to former Con gressman Lafe Pence of the District of Columbia, who was speaking for Champ Clark. The roll call was ordered with the nervous and fever-wrought delegates on the ragged dge. Alaska's announcement that two of her votes were cast for Congressman William Sulzer caused a gentle ripple of merriment that relieved the strain. The first ballot gave Clark 440 . Wilson 324, Underwood 111. It was 7:15 when Ollle James de clared the recess motion carried and the tired representatives of the dem ocracy started for their hotels and for bed.
