JlXfci' BCEGTIOJf ACTS -PASSED
V - BY LAST LEGISLATURE.
Both Intended lor Portland Officials
"Will Probablr Find It Hard
,ii to Proceed.
,,...
6ATLEM, Mar 13. The last legislature
passed two primary election, Mile, one to
govern primary elections in counties hav
ing a population of 50.003 inhabitants, and
the other in cities of 10,000 inhabitants.
The former -was known as the Morgan j
bill, or House bill 1S8, introduced by -Representative
Shiplej-. The latter was Sen
ate bill 191, introduced by Senator Hunt.
The former was the pet measure of the
Multnomah delegation, and -was passed
in the form the members thereof de
manded, though there was strong oppo
sition to some of its features. In brief,
it provides that all party platforms must
he framed in primary elections: that all
party managers must be chosen at euch
elections; that all candidates must be
nominated at such elections; that all dele
gates to conventions must be chosen at
the same time and in the same manner;
that the tickets of all parties must be
printed on the same sheet, and all parties
use the same ballots and vote at the
same time. Every man who is a candi
date for a seat in a convention, for the
party managership or for a place on the
official ballot, must pay a fee of $10.
This law also applies to other counties
when all the party managers so decide.
It has become the general opinion "that
this act cannot stand the constitutional
test, for the following reasons: That it
puts it in the power of members of one
party to frame the platform and choose
the candidates of another party; that it
violates that section of the constitution
which says that all elections shall be free
and equal, and that it violates the pro
vision that no act shall be passed, the
taking effect of which shall depend upon
any authority other than that provided
in the ccnetltuUon. As this bill -was
passed In attempted fulfillment of the
pledges of the Multnomah delegation to
work for the enactment of a primary
election law, the measure has received
quite extensive nptlce Jn the papers of
the state, while the other primary law
has scarcely been mentioned. If the
Morgan act is unconstitutional, as it
probably te, the question naturally arises:
"What of the other act?"
Primary Elections In Cities.
The act known -as Senate bill 191 Is
found on page 317 of the session laws of
1901. The essential features of the act
are In brief as follows: ""
"Elections, hereafter held in any city
of 10,000 Inhabitants, according to the
last state or federal ceseus.by any volun
tary political party, for the purpose of
nominating delegates to a convention to
nominate candidates for public office,
shall be held under the provisions of this
act, buv-thls act shall not affect direct
nominations- without conventions or nom
inations by assemblages of electors.
"The County Clerk shall give notice of
the date for primary .elections, which
shall be held not less than 60 days be
fore the general election.
"Any and all political parties which at
the last election polled three per cent,
of the entire vote shall be entitled to
vote In such primary elections for the
election of delegates to their party con
ventions. No nominations made y a
convention shall be deemed to be legally
made unless the delegates attending such
convention from precincts within such
cities of 10,000 inhabitants were selected
at a primary election held under this act.
"Not lees than seven days before the
primary election, the managing com
mittee of any party desiring to hold a
convention shall give notice of the date
of the convention, and of the number of
delegates to which each precinct is en
titled. "At any time prior to four days be
fore primary day, the party managers
of any party may file -nlth the County
Clerk lists of delegates proposed by them
to be voted for by members of their
party at the primary election, for any
or all precincts, and such names so filed
ehall be known as the 'regular ticket'
of that party. Any 10 members of the
same party may at any time prior to
two days before primary day likewise
file a list or delegates, all being voters
of the same precinct as the persons pro
posing them, and such list shall be
known as 'Independent No. V 'Independ
ent No. 2, etc.
"The County Court must have printed
official primary election ballots, the bal
lots for each party being separate, and
the paper for each party ballot being of
a different tint, but all ballots of the
same party shall be exactly alike."
'The regular election Judges preside at
primary elections and keep the polls open
from S A. M. to G P. M., and use poll
books, tally sheets., etc. as at regular
elections. The rules governing general
elections apply so far as practicable.
Any person desiring to vote shall state
o the first election clerk, which clerk
shall not be of the s-vme political party
as the chalrman, his name and residence,
and shall demand an official ballot of
the political party he desires to use in
voting; and the said clerk shall there
upon announce the name and residence
and party distinctly, and write the same
in the poll book of the party, with pen
and ink. The clerk shall then write the
number bf the elector upon the back of
each of the two stubs upon an official
TiollOt of the party, and number the stubs
to oorrespond with the number in the
poll book. The elector's name must be
written upon one of the stubs, which
Ettfb must be torn off and the ballot, with
the remaining stub attached, delivered to
the 'elector. The stub torn off is then
passed to the Judges, who inspect it and
pasp it to the other clerk, who enters the
name and number in the proper poll
book, and retain the stub. When the
oleotor hps prepared his ballot, he de
livers it to the chairman, who repeats
the name and residence of the elector,
tears off the remaining stub and passes it
to the second clerk, who compares it with
the first stub. The Judges being satisfied
that the ballot presented is the same one
given to- the elector, it will be placed in
the "ballot box
On the following day the County Clerk
counts the ballots, aided by two Justices
of the peace, and publishes the results.
In case of a tie. the clerk certifies the
same to the contention, and that body
decides which delegate shall be seated.
Bach party may make its own rules for
holding primary elections outside of cities
of 10,000 inhabitants.
There may be elected by each conven
tion in which delegates elected under the
provisions of this act are entitled to
participate, one committeeman for each
precinct, who shall represent 'his party
in that precinct. All the committeemen
In a county shall constitute the county
central committee of their party. Com
mitteemen shall hold office two years,
and in case of vacancy the remainder of
the committee shall select a man to fill
the -vacancy. The central committee
shall make rules for party management
not inconsistent with this act; shall fill
vacancies on party tickets; shall organize
"by electing a chairman and secretary
-within five days after their party candi
dates have been organized, and may select
managing committees to exercise all or
part of their powers. Delegates to a
county convention shall be apportioned
among the precincts by the central com
mittee in accordance -with the party vote
-at the last preceding election for presi
dent or governor, upon a ratio to be de
termined by said committee.
Fevr Objectlonnhle Features.
It will be seen that this act is not open
to the serious objections which seem to
be fatal to the Morgan act. The matter
of adopting party platforms is left to
the conventions, which are composed of
delegates elected "by members of the
party. As the members of each party use
for the members of one party to choose
the delegates to the convention of an
other party. The election is conducted
on the "Australian ballot" plan, so that
political bosses can have no knowledge of
the manner in which any particular per
son votes. Since any of the men can
put up a. slate of delegates, there is every
opportunity for the rank and file of the
party to overthrow the bosses if they so
desire. There may be ground for slight
objection to calling the slate proposed by
the central committee the "regular
ticket," and other slates "Independent"
tickets, but in the practical working of
the law the committee would have slight
advantage in this. There are nearly as
many voters who take pride in voting an
"Independent" ticket as In voting a "reg
ular" ticket.
Under this act a man is not required
to pay a fee in order to be a candidate
for a seat in the county convention a
poor man has an even chance with the
rich. Any 10 men can put up a slate to
suit them, and if they fail to elect It,
it will be because a majority of their
party do not want their candidates.
The chief objection to the present
system is that party bosses put up slates
printed on their paper eo that the bosses
may know how each man votes. This
will not be possible under the act under
consideration.
'The Morgan act provided for direct
nominations, but Imposed such a heavy
fee that few poor men would be able to
stand as candidates. The object of Sen
ate bill 191 was to purify primary elec
tions in large cities, thus giving the.
people a chance to control county con
ventions if they wish, without being
subject to intimidation from party bosses
It is difficult to understand how the
Shipley law and the Hunt law can both
operate at the same time In the city of
Portland, for which city both acts were
evidently Intended. One covers the entire
county and the other only the city. If
Shipley's measure should be declared In
valid, the Hunt law might stand and
produce some good results. But both are
on the statute books, and It is difficult'
to see how the county clerk can choose
to act under one and not under the other,
jet to act under both will lead to endless
confusion Only a resort to the courts
can straighten the matter out, and while
that Is being accomplished the county
clerk will have no end of trouble on his
hands.

RICH STRIKE IN MINE.
Belle-red to Be Bent Ever Made In
Eastern Oregop.
BAKER CITY. May 13. What is be
lieved to be the richest gold strike ever
made in Eastern Oregon 'was uncovered
Jn the Little Giant mine, about one mile
from Malheur City, in Malheur Corunty,
Saturday afternoon. No assay has been
made, but samples of the ore exhibited
in this city today are so rich in free gold
that it does not need an assay for even
a novice to know that It is very xich.
The samples are of beautiful nuggets as
large as a pea, and so bright that the
gold can be plainly seen at a distance
of 15 or 20 feet. The ledge. Is about 12
feet wide and has been uncovered for a
distance of 300 feet. The property is
owned by Mayor R. D. Carter and Prank
Clark, of tills city. The owners returned
from the mine today with samples of the
ore. The discover' of this rich ore has
created a great deal of excitement here,
and a number of prospectors have already
started for the new diggings, intent upon
locating extensions on this rich ledge Jf
possible. At the same time they will look
for other ledges of the same character.

Three Live There, Two in Oregon
and One in Chicago No Hint of
Bank's Position Given
VANCOUVER, "Wash., May 13. There
are three candidates in this city for -the
receivership ofthe defunct First National
Bank of Vancouver, which is now in
the hands of Bank Examiner J. "W. Max
well, who is acting- as temporary re
ceiver. The candidates are John A, Pad
den, one pf the" proprietors of the Hotel
Columbia; "W. P. 'Crawford, of the hard
ware Arm of. Qrawford, & Marshall, and
Dr. X. B.1 "Eastnam, a well-known den
tist. In addition to these It Is rumored
that President Balrd, of the Commercial
Bank) is working for the appointment
of his nephew? Edgar" Balrd, ex-recelver
of a defunct hank at Baker City. The
candidacy of Mr. Balrd is. provoking con
siderable local opposition. It is alleged
that the ultimate object -which his uncle
has in 'view in urging" his appointment,
is to prevent the establishment of an
other bank in the city, thus giving the
Commercial Bank, which Is organized un
der the state law, a clear field.
It Js also understood that a- man at
Independence, Or., Is a candidate for the
receivership, and that a Chicago friend
of Controller Dawes would not be averse
to acepting the position. Moreover, many
people prqfess to believe that Examiner
Maxwell will be made permanent re
ceiver. He gays that he is not a can
didate for the position, and that he has
not applied for It, but that he will obey
any order given him by the Controller
of the Currency. W. P. Crawford, one
of the local candidates, Is a huslness
partner of one of the directors of the
defunct bank, Frank Marshall, Dr. East
ham, another of the candidates, was a
depositor In the bank to the extent of
J3000.
As yet no hint of the bank's condition
has been given to the public, Examiner
Maxwell's report, which was mailed last
week, should have reached "Washington
this morning. Mr. Maxwell positively re
fuses to discuss the bank's affairs, saying
he has been absolutely forbidden to do
so by the Controller.
The stockholders In the bank have pe
titioned the Controller to submit to them
a statement of the bank's condition, to
gether with the basis upon which he
will permit reorganization. The gen
eral belief Is that the Controller will per
mit no reorganization that does nor In
clude a full assumption of the bank's li
abilities. The depositors have asked to
be permitted to name the receiver, and
Dr. Eastham's candidacy for the receiv
ership is receiving considerable local sup
port on the ground that he was a heavy
depositor.
It Is not known here, of course, whether
Senator Foster will be consulted by the
Controller In the appointment of the re
ceiver or not. It is said, however, that
the Senator has been consulted by all
the candidates; but whether or not he
has Indorsed anyone or not cannot be
stated.
Levi Ankeny, the well-known Walla
Walla banker, has signified his willing
ness to Investigate the bank's affairs af
ter Examiner Maxwell's report shall have
been made public. Mr. Ankeny expresses
a readiness to reorganize and reopen the
bank, provided Its affairs are In such
shape that this can be done reasonably.
"WANT QUARANTINE REMOVED.
Alaska People Deem It a Discrimina
tion Against Americans.
SEATTLE, May 13. The steamer Dlrlgo,
Captain Hunter, from Skagway and way
ports, with .smallpox news, but no small
pox, arrived here this morning. The peo
ple of Southeastern Alaska are much ex
ercised over the smallpox scare, and are
making strong efforts to conteract the
effect of it on travel to Lynn Canal and
way ports. A public meeting, under the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce at
Juneau, was held with a view to taking
action to have the quarantine removed
by the Government. This meeting, Cap
tain Hunter says, was In progress when
the Dirlco sailed from Juneau on the even
ing of. May 8, City Marshal Lowe, of
Skagway, and several other Skagwayang
who were delegates to It, went to Juneau
on the Dlrlgo.
The complaint tha tls being cried aloud
throughout Southeastern Alaska ports Is
that the smallpox scare not only Injures
passenger travel and business in general,
but that It has the effect of seriously
discriminating against American commer
cial Interests for tha reason that there
Is no quarantine against Canadian ships
from Victoria and Vancouver. These
ships run back and forth without embar
rassment or quarantine restrictions of any
sort. The meeting at Juneau had not ad
journed when the Dlrlgo sailed, and what
action was taken cannot be ascertained
till the next ship arrives from the north
In a day or two. It was the purpose of
the meeting to submit the facts In a
memorial to the proper department at
Washington, and petition for a removal
of the quarantine,
"The fact is," said Captain Hunter,
"that there is not a single case of small
pox among the whites at Skagway, Haines
or Juneau. We did not put Into Haines
on the trip up on account of the reports
of smallpox there, but called on our
South-bound trip. The doctor told me
there was not a single case of the disease
in the town, not even among the Indian
There Is some smallpox, according to re
port, at Hoonah, Klllisnoo and Sitka, but
we didn't go there, and these cases are
among the Indians. I have my doubts
about the disease being genuine smallpox.
There is an eruption of the skin among
the Indirihs, but It is not accompanied
by fever. Tlit Indians not Infrequently
break out with a sort of rash In the
Spring, as everybody knows who has been
in Alaska any length of time." '
Special officers have been appointed at
Skagway and Juneau to maintain a strict
quarantine against neighboring Indian vil
lages and camps, and a corps of physl
olaus was busy vaccinating Indians when
the. Dlrlgo left
have been expected for several months,
in fact, ever since the election. The
Changes, according to the best authority,
will not be so numerous as have been
expected,
Warden Catron, of the penitentiary,
will remain, notwithstanding the hard
fight which has been made against him
by a portion of tha Democratic party.
His chief opponent, Martin J. Maloney,
is now an aspirant for Chief of Police
of Spokane under the recently-elected
Democratic Mayor, Dr. Byrne, and it is
said here that bis withdrawal from the
race for Warden 1e due Uo the assur
ances that be will get the Spokane posi
tion. While It is not a certainty, it is stated
that Commandant Allen, of the Soldiers'
Home, will lose his, -position. Who will
succeed him, cannot be ascertained.
Dr, Goddard, Superintendent of the
Western Washington Hospital for ihe In
sane, will have to go, and it is said he
will be succeeded by Dr. C. Quevli, of
Tacoma. who is shortly expected home
from Europe, -where he has been taking
a post-graduato course for the treatment
of insanity. Dr. Quevli is a Democrat,
and until recently was a 'member of the
Board of Trustees of the School for De
fective Youth at Vancouver. He was
also for a time under Mayor Fawcett'a
administration.

launch has changed color almost with
the changes of the moon, and a small ar

No one was found in possession of or a
