VOL. I. OREGON CITY, CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1903 No. 17. MR. RYAN SAYS NO IS OPPOSED TO HOLDING PRIMARIES AND CONVENTION. Republican Congressional Committee Should Name the Man Who Will Probably Succeed the Late Congressman Thos. H. Tongue. Congressional Committeeman T. F. Ryan is opposed to the holding of primaries and a convention to nom inate a successor to the late Congress man Tongne and favors the committee making the nomination. He takes this position on the ground that it will be great saving of trouble and money. Judge Ryan says that five other com mitteemen are 'with him and if three others are found to hold the same views there will be no primaries or convention. The first district congres sional committee is made up of one member from each of the 16 counties in the district and with Chairman Harris not voting eight committeemen would comprise a majority. He has received the following letter from Dr. Harris : The governor will issue a call for the special congressional election to elect a successor to Mr. Tongue within a very few days and it is my desire to meet the committee as soon thereafter as possible to fix the place and date for the convention. I would like your advice as to the place to have the committee meeting, and as to the time, it will be governed by the call of the governor. The, meeting last year was at Portland and that place would suit me this time as well as any that we may agree upon. The only place that would suit me better would be Eugene, mv own town. I shall, however, leave it to the majority of the committee, Judge Ryan is very much opposed to having the 8ommittee meet in Port land or any other place outside of the limits of the first district. He sees no more reason why the committee should meet in Portland than for the second district committee to meet in a city sit uated in the first district. He advises the place of meeting to be in Oregon City and gives his reason in the follow ing letter, which he forwarded to Dr. Harris Your favor relative to calling the congressional committee together to take action regarding the nomination of a candidate to fill the vacancy oc casioned by the death of our lamented friend received and I agree with you that it is advisable to hold a meeting as soon as possible after the call of the governor is made. As there seems to be quite a differ ence of opinion, even among the few members of the committee whom I have met the last few weeks as to whether it is advisable or necessary to go to the expense and trouble of holding precinct primaries and county and district conventons to make this nomiation, I believe the sooner we meet and decide upon our course of procedure, the better it will be for all concerned. As to the place to have the committee meeting, in view of the rumors of deals made and foolish things disseminated regarding com pacts and agreements entered into in connection with this nomination with divers persons living outside the dist rict, I feel that our meeting should be held within the congresisonal dist ricts, and no more appropriate or con venient place could be selected than Oregon City. Street cars between here and Portland run every half hour, and while we will still be within the district we are the same as in Port land. RACEFORCONGRESS TWO CLACKAMAS COUNTY MEN WOULD TAKE THE NOMINATION. State Senator Brownell and Colonel Robert A. Miller Would Not Be Averse to Going to Congress, Though the Latter Is Not Active. Secretary Leavens Resigns. . General Secretary Seth Lieavens, of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, has resigned his position and will take an agency for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., working in the local fields. He will be suc ceeded by Physical Director William E.' Beach, and the duties of general secretary and physical director will be oombined, , , , Clackamas County Record. $1.75. TWO Oregon City men are candidates for congressional nominations, George C. Brownell, Republican and Robert A. Milier, Democrat. Senator Brown ell has been a caudidato for the noni' ination before, in the McMinnvuie convetion of 1901, which re-nominated Congressman Tongue. Colonel Miller made the race of congress in 1890 aeainst Binger Hermann, in the last election that was held prior to the division of the state of Oregon into two congressional districts. He was betten, because of the large Repub lican majority in the state and did not really expect to be elected. He is not what may be termed an active cand idate for the Democratic nomination now but if conditions arise, which do not now exist, he would not decline the nomination. The colonel thinks that a Democratic victory is possible and if George Chamberlain overturned a Republian majority in the state of over 10, 000, why should a Democrat not do the same thing in the first congress sional district. The colonel says : "Ism not a candidate for congress, bnt believe the chances are more than favorable ; for the election of Democrat to congress from this dis trict to be one of the representatives in congress from Oregon during the next two years to one bornJupou'Ore- gon soil in the early 50' s is more than a laudable ambition. . It is more like a call to duty in the highest and best sense. I shall slirink no duty that 1ookptO.the upbuilding of Oregon; politically or otherwise. " ' ' Senator Brownell attributes his de- J feat in the McMinnville convention to the activity of the federal brigade in Congressman Tongue's behalf, but since that time conditions have changed. The federal brigade is head ed by Senators Mitchell and Fulton and Congressman Williamson, all of whom are warm friends of Mr. Brown ell and he could probably laud the nomination were it not for the candi dacy of Binger Hermann. Just what kind of a combination lias been made between Fulton and Hermann is not known but it is cer tain that a combination was made at Salem. Mr. Hermann would have liked to be United States senator but he did not stand in Fulton's way and all of his support went to the gentle man from Astoria. Naturally Mr. Her mann did not do this without an un derstands that-Fulton would do something for him in the congression al line. Clackamas County deserves something. It has no state officer. It is a solid Republican county and gave Furnish a larger plurality for governor than any other county in the state. It gave Uongressman Tongue an enor mous plurality last June.
