The hour was ret at 10 A. M., but it was eleven when Colonel Hubert A. Miller, cbairmati of the com mittee, rapoed for order. A majority of the committee was not present and the uieeling adjourned until the afternoon. The chairman called the committee to order at one o'clock and a roll ct.ll showed the following members present : Abernelhy John Kent Barlow W. W. Jesse Beiver Breek T. Duffy Caoby C. N. Wait Cjuemah U. W. Gunong Highland.. Stephen Hutchinson Muckshurg Alhert Uribble Molalla O. W. Iiobhtns Milk Creek H. W. Uai'd Miiwaukie T. R. A.bellwood Maple Lane J. K. Myers Oregon City, No. 1 E.

Richardson Went Oregon City : Ira Jones The following precincts had no re pre filiation : Boring, Canyon Creek, Cas taJe, Clackamas, Cberryville, Damas cus, Eagle Creek, (iarQeld, George, (larding, Marqnain, Needy, New Era, Oswego, Selvers, Soda Springs, Spring water, Killin. Upon the report of Secretary Cheney, showing that 19 precincts were repte- ! tenteil, Chairman Miller stated that he had been reijuesled by members of the committee to call a meeting and that the ! committee was here to take any action ! wnich they deemed the w inert and beet, lie asked for the views of the members on the subject of file ion. E. D. Kelly, one of the war horxes of the party, arose and said that he disap proved of taking any action without a full representation of the committee and that If the unrepresented precincts did not have enterprise enough to keep up their precinct organization they should not be entitled to representation in the party. They needed discipline. "How can we have a county organizition," asked Mr. Kelly, "unless precinct or ganizaiioiiH are maintained? No one should voice the sentiment of absent member1. Let us begin rigbt. Those who are ptesent and they alone should have the right to voice the sentiment of the party." C N. Wait, of Canby, said : "This is a time when there is a good deal depend ing on the action of the Democratic party. We have reached a time when there has got to be something done. I don't care w ho does it. I make a motion that the Democrats present be allowed to voice the sentiment of I he absent one. I can give only my personal opinion but it is in accord with the opinion of the people in my end of the county." Mr. Wait's motion was carried without a dissenting voice. D. C. Richardson, of Viola, said his people were in favor of Democrats on any ticket Judge T. F. Cowing, Clackamas County's representative on the Demo cratie State Central Committee, said lie had attended the meeting in Tortland and that he had discovered there that the People's Party and the Silver Repub lican Party no longer existed. Each county should manage its own sffuiis as it seemed best lo them. If the Demo cratic party should, by nnitintr, si-cme the election of a county ticket, it should I e done by all n eans. He wai4 hemtily in favor of a Citizens movement, and what continued his opinion of the mlvira bility of sucb a movement was the advice of the Republicans against it. Upon the motion of C. W. Gnong it was decided to call the roll and obtain an expression of opinion (torn the commit teemen. Mr. Jones wanted a secret ses sion but was overruled by the chairman The expressions of opinion were merely personal and were not to be understood as binding the party. Mr. Kelly said the fight should be made on the office of commissioner. I 'Tut up a good man, a strong man and a man of Iron. This office la the root of the whole trouble. The Republicans have ran the county for yea ra. At one time the Democrats elected Mr. Mark to that office. He was a good man to sit around home but was a tool lo the hands of certain gentlemen in the county." There was vast territory in the county that waa unrepresented in the committee meeting. "I am a Democrat," said Mr. Kelly. "K (be Republicans, Populists and Socialists have faith in Democratic reform, let them come in and vole the Democratic ticket." He wanted his vote recorded for a etraight ticket, bot would be in accord with the wishes of the ma. Jority. Colonel Miller (aid the party could better carry out Democratic principles by an independent movement. "Three or four months ao a majority of the party was in favor of a straight ticket but one by one they had altered their views. The beet interests of ilie county will be sub served by a Citizens' ticket. He had heard no dissenting voice in his precinct. Some men are afraid of losing their Deinocratie Identity. This ia absurd. No action of ours could kill the party. As Democrats we can step out of our or ganization and as citizens can carry out Democratic doctrine." C. W. Gauomt, of Canemah, said that an independent ticket wa the ocly medi cine left in the bottle and he guessed he would have to take it. Mr. Hutchinson, of Highland, said that hie own private opinion was that Democrats could poll a larger vote by putting up a straiaht ticket. At present there were more Populists than Demo crats. The Populists had always been willing lofuse. H. W. Gard, of Milk Creek, said that Democrats in his precinct were few and far between. There were a good many Populists leaning towards socialism and these men had told him that if good men were put np on a Citizens' ticket the people would vote it. For the party's sake he favored a straight Democratic ticket G. L. Trullinger, of Milk Creek, was strongly in favor of a straight Democratic ticket. The chaii man read a letter from Bar ton Jack, the Marquam committeeman and in this letter Mr. Jack indorsed a Citizpns' movement. T. R. A. Sellwood, of Miiwaukie, said the Citizens' ticket would get Socialist and Populist voles. Men of iron and of neive should carry out the Citizens' movement and would be sure to win. Iavid Caufield, of Oregon City, No. 2, said the party was looking for a Moses and the Moses should be a Democrat on a straight Democratic ticket. A C. Sharp, of Pleasant Hill, was in doubt, but stated that from what he had heard at the meeting, the Citizens' ticket would be the proper thing. Ira Jones, of West Oregon City, said lhat every Democrat and every Populi-t on the West Side he had talked with had told him "For God's sake, give us a Citizens' ticket, bo we ran vote it." The speaker roundly scored the hangers-on on the Board ol Commissioners, and said there should be less listening to shyster lauyeis and more business done tor the people. Contractor E D. Olds, who is a P pu- list, said lhat the men of his party on the West side were in favor of a Citizen's ticket. His only plank was the initia tive and referendum. C. D. Latourette thought that condi tions were ripe for the movement and helieved that if it was managed right every man from top to bottom could be elected. He said that the chances were never so favorable for a fusion ticket. He advised the committeemen to be very careful in the selection of the ticket. "What are you going to do to satisfy the people who will be called apon to vote for it?" asked Mr. Latourette. "When you come to -make ihis ticket, make it satisfrctory to the old party. Make it satisfactory to the Populist element and to the Independent Republicans. Be prepared to vote for anything that a majority of the convention believe to be the best." Henry Theisen, of Miiwaukie, who was the fusion candidate for Recorder at the last election, advised a straight Dem-1 ocratic ticket, and said that some of the officers elected on the fusion ticket two years ago had not kept their promises in regard lo deputy hiie. The roll call allowed the following re- sultj fur and against an independent movement: For an independent movement and agHinst a straight ticket: Kent, Jesse, Duffy, Wait, Uanot g, Bobbins, Gard, Jack, Sellwood, Myers, Heatie, Sharp, Turner.CriKsell.RichardHon, Jones.-ltj (Continued on page 6 ) f). V' dissoiUTEiy Makes the food more delicious and wholesome MASS MEETING OF SOCIALISTS County Convention To He Held In This City Tomorrow. FILL TICKET WILL BE MXLUTED Leaders Plate Their Strength it Over 1000, Many of Whom Will Vote For Brownell. Next Saturday is the day set fur a mas county convention of the Socialist party and it is expected lhat nearly 200 social ists from all parts of the county will be pierent. A conservative estimate of the party leaders is that between 1,000 and 1,200 votes will be polled for the ticket. The socialists have been very active since their organization in this county about two months ago. Fred J. Meindl is Hie chairman of the county central committee and William Beard is the sec retary. Walter F. Prnden, of Highland, is the county organizer, and organization has already been effected in two thirds of the 37 precincts and the socialists pro pose to organize in every precinct. At the county convention a platform will be drawn up, delegate to tbe state and dis trict conventions will be named and it is more than probable lhat a full county ticket wiil be nominated. The conven tion is called for 10 o'clock and will meet in Willamette Hall. There ia a difference of opinion exist ing as to the wisdom of placing a county ticket in the field. A majority of the party is in favor of putting np a state, district and county ticket but others are opposed to a county ticket. The minor-' ity advance the argument that a cuumy ticket will only add to the expenre, bur dens and prejudices of the party without adding to tbe vole. There is no doubt that Fred J. Meindl will be named for state senator, and it is also sure that many socialists will vote for George C. Brownell, who will be tbe Republican nominee for re-elecli'ou. Mr. Brownell will be supported on account of the work he has done in the last two sessions of the legislature for the initiative and re ferendum. Hon. W. S. U'Ren, alto is the father of the initiative and referen dum in this state, will vote for Brownell. It is a purely sacrifice campaign for anybody that runs, and with the excep tion of Meindl for sena'or, few names have been mentioned for the various offices. All of the members of tbe party are taking an active part in ita organizition. There are already several speakers in the field and there will be several more when tbe campaign is fairly opened They will he for the most part local men and the socialists will rely principally on literature. The socialist sentiment in Clackamas County is overwhelmingly against fusion with any party. They will not combine directly or indirectly with any other parly or leave any vacant places on their ticket fur another party to fill. The first congressional district conven tion will be held in this city March 20. Thomas Buck man, formerly of Clack . am.ts County, but now of Coos County, has been prominently mentioned in con nection with tbe congressional nomina tion. A Promising Young- Ma i. Fred J. Meindl, chairman of the So cialitt County Central Committee, re turned Saturday from a visit willifriei.dj in Monmouth. He is a graduate of tbe Monmouth Normal, and recently com pleted a term of school at New Era. riis report appears in another column. Mr. Meindl has chosen the law as a profes sion and yesterday started reading in the office ol Mayor Dimick. In conver sation with a representative of the En terprise he stated that he regarded Mr. Dimick as the strongest candidate for county judgo that tlie Republicans could place iu the field, aud thinks he is likely t) receive the nomination. He thinks that if Judge Ryan is renominated he will be beaten at the pulls. Mr. Meindl is a close student of political life and be- gan at an early age. When only twelve I Yeari old he came to town frim his Imina I on the Aberrethv to listen to the ooliri- j Cal speaking in Repul.liaan. Democratic aild Poputistl meeting-.
