AND LITTLE OPENED Reames Looks Like a Winner Three Days Before The Election. Republican Apathy Has Frightened The Leaders of The Orand Old Party. Only three more days intervene between this issue of the Courier and the special election to select the successor 01 the late Congressman Tongue. The cam paign will end on saiuraay nignt ana the voters will do the rest on Monday. What of the battle-? Possibly there has never in all of the history of this great state been an election for Congressman in which the voters were so utterly in different to the result. There are many good reasons why this should be as it is. In the first place this is a Bpecial election, called to elect a congressman to nil out a term that h already partly ex pired. It is true that the Congressman elected wid draw bis salary for a full term of two years served in two sessions of the National llousf. The people are not enthusiastic. Especially is this true of tli i Republicans. There are half a dozen elements in the Republican party that makes the election doubtful. There are q iite a number of Republi cans in every county in the district who openly announce that they are going to vote tor the Democratic candidate, Mr. Reames. There is a much larger num ber who are going to remain away from the polls because they will not stultify themselves by voting for the Republi cans candidate who they believe to be corrupt, and unworthy of this endorse ment after having been twice kicked out of the land office on account of incora letancy or something worse. The Democrats wi lof course profit by these local conditions. It is a safe proportion that the Kepubucan party in the diB' tricts will not poll over half of their usual vote, that being the case it is evideut that the Democrats have an ex cellent opportanity to win the election, While the Democrats are not over en thusiastic and will not poll their full vote it is a certainty that they will poll eighty per cent of their normal strength. The reason for this is that they have a most excellent candidate, that they know a large number Republicans are going to vote for Reames and tbata largernumber will not vote for Hermann but remain away from the polls entirely. The Democrats believe that the) have a chance to win and that being true it will bring many a "dyed in the wool" Democrat to tne roils who would re main at home and if the conditions were different. WHAT WILL CLACKAMAS COUNTY DO. That is a question that is worrying Judge Ryan the political Moses 01 the uepuoucan party in Clackamas county not a little. Last year Furnish, the Republican candidate for Governor carried this county 392 plurality over cjtigmDeriain. The Republican leaders . ,i,i.. ,i,L. !:.:,. r . rX3,r;r..r.r"V'1'DAmaler - ially cut down, all say to 200 and some luuwnneotners concede that it will be wiped out entirely. To one not entirely familiar with the conditions in Clacka mas county it looks like there will be an even break in this county and that it is not at all nidlkely that Reames will carry the county from 50 to 100 plurality over Hermann. If he does he will be elected, for the reason that the condi tions that prevail in Clackamas county prevail in every other c junty in the dis trict. The Republicans are making a des- perate effort to rally their scattered forces during the closing week of the campaign. That they know there are breakers ahead is evidenced by the fact that they have unl inhered every gun big and little that they can train on the enemy during these last few days, Sena- tor Mitchell has been in the county, Last Baturday Ex-Governor, T. T. Qeer of Marion county was brought up and made a speech at Eagle Creek for Her mann, and this week Uni'ed State. Senator Fulton has invaded the county and has told the boys just how good a man Mr. Hermann is. All the while the little guns and the lesser lights have been hammering away in a pop gun fashion trying to arouse the boys to a sense of lheir duty and the great danger the country is in from the election of a Democratic congressman. There has been speaking in almost every precinct ; but strange to say the rank and tile of the Republican party refuses, absolutely refuses to enthuse at all. The writer has had an opportanity to talk to a hundred of Republicans in every part of the county and they are not going to vote for Hermann, and the more tire works and brass band effort that is made to whip them into line the more obstreperous and obstinate they become. They say true enough that the Republican party of this district, had no right as a party to toiat upon them a man of Hermann's reputation and character. That the grand old Republi cans party of the Willamette valley ought not to stultify iteelf being compel led to walk up to the pol.s and vote "lilce dumb driven animals" for a man' fcr whom they have uo repect politically and one who has brought disrepute upon the state by his conduct while in office. Even the leaders are luke warm. Some of them who are out making speeches for Hermann will hardly vote tor niin when the time comes. REAMES AND DEMOCRATIC CHANCES. That Mr. Reames and the Democrats of the countv are highly appreciate of the opportunity that they have to ewiug old Clackamas back once more into the Democratic column and insure the elect ion of a Democratic congressman can be seen from the efforts they are making to get their own vote out. Four times this week Mr. Reames speaks in the county. While the en thusiasm is not marked yet there is a good feeling among Democrats and they are going to poll relatively a large vote. Chairman Lovett and Chairman Beattie each are of the opinion that the Demo crats will poll of their own strength eighty per cent of the vote they polled for Chamberlnin and they will get enough Republican votes to carry the county by a small plurality. The Socialibts are not making much of a fight for their man and while they will poll a very considerable vote it will not be as large & the vote they threw to their candidate for Governor last year. In fact many Socialists are going to vote for Reames as the surest way to down plutocracy and the Republican party. EuGiNB, Oregon. May 22 Intense disappointment marks the Hermann headquarters managers because of the failure os President Roosevelt to make a public declaration in favor of Binger Hermann, during bis visit to Oregon. Governor Chamberlain, Mr. Hermann and others were invited to ride with the president, Chamberlain throughout the Ntate. and Hermann from Salem to Portland. This social courtesy towards Mr. nermann was iorcea up Mr. Hermann was forced upon the : resident through the strenous insist- nee of Senator Mitchell and some other Doliticans. but wnat the Hermann managers expected, and what they really needed to assaretbe people, was a speci fic declaration in one of f resident Koose velt's spoecbes that he wanted Her mann elected. (1-2) failure to speak in that man ner therefore causes deep disappoint ment to Mr. Hermann s managers. 1. NOT CONTBUKD AS AN KNDORBKMg.lT That Mr. Hermann Swag invited to ride with the President came as a do- mand from the politicians, but it is not even here construed as in anv sense an edorsement. for the reason that Govern or Chamberlain was alRO invited, and no one connects politics with the invitation to ride with the President extended to Governor Chamberlain. ONLY AFTER CBOINQ. That the invitation cams onlv after in sistent urging from the politicans, as was not originally the intention ol the President, is interpreted as proof that Senator Mitrllflll hrmiorhk haar nnlitl. cal pressure to which Mr. Rooeevelt re luctantly yielded. ON THE DEFENSIVE HERMAN WILL NOT PRODUCE THE RE PORT OF SECRETARY HITCHCOCK. Why He Was Turned Out of Office Will Remain a Profouud Mystery Eooenb, Ore., May 17, -Special-While speaking last night in the interest of Binger Hermann Walter Tooze, a vary pleasing orator from Marion county, pro posed that anyone who desired to aBk questions could do eo. A Young man of Eugene, Coke Bilyou, son of Hon. Lark Bilyou, thereupon propounded the following query! "Mr. Tooze, why have not the Her mann people produced the special report of Bpecial Agent, A. R. Green, of the Interior Department, which was sub mitted to Secretary Hitchcock last year, and which has been presumed to con tain findings that were largely the basis ot executive action compelling the re' signation of Mr. Hermann?" "Why do you people not produce tnat report r replied Air. loose. "Because we cannot get it," answer ed Bilyou. "It is pigeon-holed at Wash' ington, marked confidential, and it is accessible to the public only when Mr. Hermann requests that it be published. for the reason that these confidential re ports, by a long established rule, when they reflect upon any official, are with held from the people." - - It is not of record that any more quest ioning was indulged in by the speaker or anyone of the audience. CAMPAIGN OF DETBCB. The campaign of defence was continu ed by Mr, Tooze, who consumed much of his time in referring to allegations anent, Mr. Hermann's record as an official, bis discharge from the Rose burg Land office in 1873 for cause ac quirement of public lands while an official and the recent forced resigna tion from the commissionersbip of the General Land office. 1 He alleged that it was merely because of difference between Hermann and Hitchcock, and not in any manner to Hermann's discredit. He avoided the bad tactics of his fel low Marionite, Col, E. Hofer, of Salem who from the same platform the other evening, while Mr. Hermann was pre sent and endorsed Hoter'aremarks, issu ed a "dad." to Secretary Hitchock.and warned the latter that, if Hermann were to be elected, he would return to Wash ington and the other members of the Oregon delegation "make war on the Secretary.
