CI MOORES
iS A STRONG
CANDIDATE
Former Chairman of Repub
lican Committee.
WOULD BE SECRETARY OF STATE
Has Much Support Thronslioiit
l'ho State ullll Will I'robubly '
He Nominated Over
lien Olcott.
Charles B. Moores, of Portland,
who. has announced his candidacy for
Republican nomination for secretary
,,t State, is one of the best known
Republicans in Oregon. For many
years he has been chairman of the
Republican state committee and as
such has the friendship and support
of -working members of the party
in every precinct.
Mr. Moores is a real Oregonian.
His grandfather. Col. I. R. Moores,
represented Lane county In the ter
ritorial legislative assembly and in
the Oregon constitutional conven
tion. His father, John H. Moores,
represented Marion county in the
firpiron state senate.
Mr. Moores himself was speaker of j
the Oregon house of representatives I
in 1895, and has always been active'
In public affairs. He was apointed
registrar of the U. S. land office at
Oregon City by President McKinley,
and served one term. For 38 years
he lias been trustee of the Willam
ette university of which institution
lie is a graduate. He also la a grad
uate of the law department of the
University of Michigan. His four
children were all educated in Ore
ga:i. A daughter at the Willamette
and O. A. C, one son at O. A. C, and
two at the state university.
As a director of the Oregon His
torical society, president of the Ore
gon State Pioneer association and a
member of the dock commission of
the city of Portland, ho is laboring
faithfully and with credit for the
nubile welfare. He Is a successful
business man, and in his public ac
tivities and private life his record Is
absolutely clean.
Durng the two campaigns In
which Mr. Moores has been chairman
of the state Republican committee he
has rendered Brest service to the
Republican party and is recognized j
c probably the best posted man on
public affairs in the state, and re-r-r-tably
well qualified to fill with
credit the post to which he aspires.
While Mr. Moores has always been
a regular party man, in the best
sense of the term, he has favored
forward-looking policies and politlcil
progress. As speaker of the house
he voted for woman suffrage back
1n '95. and has always championed
the Interests and ambitions of wo
men. He favored and voted the In
itiative and referendum and the pro
visions of the "Oregon system". As
a member of the Portland dock com
mission, his record has been one of
V
rumilus fairness to labor, and has
the approval of the friends of organ-
tied labor. .
.v
ifcal i ijiii mU
Republicans who are supporting
Mr. Moores at the primaries dwell
strongly on his excellent record, and
at the same time point to the tact
that his opponent, Ben Olcott. does
not merit the support of Repub
lican votes as he has never been a
-( the. party under which be
now seeks re-election. It is pointed
out that Olcott was origirjlly ap
pointed by Governor Oswald West,
a Democrat. Olcott managed, and is
said to have financed. West's cam
paign. '
.While the constitution prohibits
holding office for more than two
terms. It is pointed out that Olcott,
if elected, would be In office for ten
years. He was appointed for two
and then elected for four years, so
that if rd-elected, while not violat
ing the lotter of the constitutional
provision as It has been Interpreted,
ie would be violating its spirit by
holding office for more than eight
years.
Late Saturday night Sheriff Geo.
Quine and Deputy Sheriff T. 'A. Raf
fety searched the drug store conduct
ed by Simon Krohn on Cass street
and confiscated about two gallons ol
alcohol and a bottle of fluid which
they believe is a coloring material.
Mr. Krohn 'was not arrested. The
liquid will be analyzed before any
further action is taken. Mr. Krohn
was arrested, several months ago on
a charge of bootlegging and paid a
fine of $500.
The officers believe that they have
evidence which will prove that Mr.
Krohn has been soiling intoxicating
liquor in violation of the prohibition
law for some time, and Saturday
night's raid was merely to ascertain
the stock on hand and to assist in
the eaiueiuig of evidence which will
probably he used at the trial.
The district attorney is using ev
ery possible effort to put an end to
trio violations of the liquor laws and
thus far has secured several con
victions in the justice court for u
'awful shipments, It. L. McLaughlin
and George Morrison each paying
fines of $10 Saturday afternoon on
the one made against Hanks, Math
ews and Staley.
Mr. Krohn's case will probably be
taken before the justice of the peace
.n the near future".

BERLIN, April 24. Wilson mayi'

Germany to Ilia last note. Gerard
sent a long message last night, after
a conference with von Strunim of
tho roi-oign office, and Heckshor, of

Germany. Hollwcg has returned from

mado no statement, but the feeling
over the situation is hopeful thnt
there will bo a solution without a
break. Gerard and Hollweg con
ferred this morning. In an article
in his woekly, Maxlmllllan Harden
upheld Wilson s regnrds munition
and submarines, and he reminded
the critics In Germany that during
modern wars, Germany supplied mu
nitions to the side having the most
money.

Poiu-e Pmiy In Considerable.
There Is unquestionably a consid
erable peace party In Goruiuny. This
includes powerful financial Interests
represented by tlio Bourse organs
und the Frankfurter Zeitung and in
cluding also the Berlin Tageblatt
and socialist organs. Certain high of
ficials also would consent to a breach
or war with tho United States only
mpst reluctantly and under pressurn
of what seemed to them an unavoid
able necessity.
It may be not without signific
ance that Maxmilian Harden was per
mitted to print a remarkablo artlclu
in his paper, Zukunft, defending
President Wilson's standpoint In
plain words.
Few D"s4ro llrejicli.
With tho possible exception of a
handful of extremists, there nppcurs
to be nobody In Germany desirous
of A breach or war with the United
States. It Is evident beond a doubt,
however, thnt If tho government
should reject the demands of tho
American uoto respecting subnmrine
warfare it would find the united sup
port of Germans of all parties.
