-10 TH3? MOANING OEJEGONIAN, TRT7RRDAY. APEIL 3, 1902. W. J. FURNISH WINS IT DUXCHGRASSER NAMED FOR GOV ERNOR, 24S TO 02. JT. R. Whitney, State Printer-A. M. Crawford Captures Attornej Generalship, f (Continued from First Page ) structton. Professor J. II. Ackerman. who now exercises general charge of the young Idea throughout -what In conven tion parlance Is the magnificent com monwealth of the Pacific Northwest, had arranged to have his nomination second ed by about two-thirds of the delegates on the floor. One of his champions, G. W. Denman, -of Benton, observed in clarion accents that Mr., Ackerman's nomination would bring a smile to the lips and a flush of pleasure to the cheeks of every old maid schoolma'am, every old bachelor schoolmaster, and every toddling school child from Harney to Clatsop, from "Wallowa to Curry. Other Ackerman men made oration In like vein, and so moving was their eloquence that 5k j - . " r vO Gov. Furnish' Predecessor. W. C. Alderson, Mr. yYckermar.'s oppo nent, -was still in the back stretch when the distance flag dropped. The ensuing unofficial order of business was an ominous pause. Mr. Glass was on the side-lines, looking pleasant. Percy Kelly, of Linn County, was whisper ing hoarselv to hi& constituents. Hon. George C. ,Browr.cll was sitting in the ranks of the Clackamas legion of 1G v otes, mapping out with knitted brow the burst of eloquence with which he was soon to electrify the convention. The Gervais Stai wa& by no means In total eclipse, and ther was something doing elsewhere. All of which meant that the contest for State Printer, the fight whicn has torn asunder Gubernatorial booms and w recked the hopes of aspirants for every office from top to bottom In man j other com editions, was about to be foughts- Chairman Booth broke the spell by announcing that the convention's next duty was to ballot for this coveted of fice. Nomiations were In order, and they followed in disorder. They came with Buch rapidity, with such a storm of ora tory, and such a burst of enthusiasm. that it began to look for a time as if 1 every man on the floor would be named. but after presenting seven candidates for consideration, and seconding them from all sides, the lists were closed. 'George C Brownell, the bell-tongued ora tor of Clackamas, was early on his feet. He had scarcely got the recognition 01 the chair, however, before he was spot ted by his admirers in all parts of the hall, and Immediately the shout went up for him to take the platform. He took it. "Gentlemen," he said, in concluding an address which caused the qagle to beat his golden wines against the glass vault o'erhead in an effort to soar to the star lit dome bejond, "why can't you look George C. square in the face, and say that you'll turn your eyes in the direc tion of poor, neglected, forsaken old Clackamas, and give her the nomination she seeks that of L. L. Porter for State Printer?" Other nominations made were W. S. Dunlway, "W. J. Clarke, Graham Glass, Jr. (this in a whisper by Charles A. Moneli, of Multnomah). S. C. Beach and "J. Jl. Whitney. The vote was taken. It re sulted In no election, with Graham Glass, Jr., who had been looked upon as seated away In the rear, pulling down the sur prising number of, 92 otes, the next can didate to "Whitney, who was something on the safe side of 100. There was an other surprise In the vote, and that was that 346 votes had been cast out of a possdble343. Some one had been doing effective campaigning. The chair causu allv remarked in calling for the next bal lot that it might be "just as well if the delegates would not fold their ballots. Multnomah went into caucus, and the can didates went Into action. This vote nominated "Mr. "Whitney, who had received the strength of Multnomah to a man. and drew 1S6 votes. Mr. Glass "had 97 But the vote was still 346 out of a possible 343. This settled the more important work of the day. The district delegations had already decided on their nominations and read them docilely to the chair when they were called for. Harrison Allen, the efficient secretary from Astoria, mar shalled his assistants together, put the last touches on the archives of the con vention, folded them up and bore them away, to repose for another four years. The crowd, which had been in the morn ing what Is popularly known as a con course of people, and had remained pa tlentlv through the afternoon, had dwin dled t. small proportions-, and It was soon out of the hall, followed by the tired del egates. One of them, as he was going out. picked up a scrap of wlhte paper, which bore the legend: : "Vote for : : "W. J. FURNISH : : For Governor. : "Huh!" he said, ."it's got a union label on it!" Even In matters of this kind was the East Oregonlan's campaign complete. STORY OF THE CONVEIVTION. Morning Session Devoted to Prelim inary Organization. The Republican state convention was called to order in the Armory at 11:10 o'clock yesterday by "Willis Dunlway,. sec retary of the Republican State Central Committee. Mr, Dunlway explained that he had just received a telegram from Chairman George A. Steel, stating that the latter could riot be present at the convention until late in the afternoon, and asking Mr. Dunlway to act in his stead. Mr. Dunlway made a few brief re marks, expressing his pleasure at seeing such a large representation of delegates present. He reviewed the great National ev ents of the last four years, which have placed the United States in a leading po sition among the nations of the world, and said that the American people will I satisfactorily settle such questions as may be presented In the future as a result of the larger governmental repponsibllltles. He predicted that the United States will deal with the Philippines, on the principle of "Charity for all and malice toward none," so that a few years- hence the Filipinos will celebrate the anniversary of the day on which the protecting folds of the American flag were thrown around them. L. T. Harris, of Lane County, presented the name of Senator R. A. Booth, of Lane, Douglas and Josephine, for temporary chairman. On motion of J. "W. Knowles, of Union, Mr. "Booth was elected by ac clamation. Mr. Booth was greeted with prolonged applause as he mounted the rostrum and received the gavel.

Marsters, of Doug las, the following resolutions were adopted: "We, the Republicans of the State of Oregon, In convention assembled, realize that the time has come when every citizen of Oregon should demand that the Congress of the United States should at once recognize our old pioneer war veterans a3 volunteer veterans of their Repub lic. "Why should they be treated with silent In dlfTertoce until the great majority of them have been carried to their graves. Is humiliat ing to us and to the entire State of Oregon They battled for the territorial rights of the Nation; suffered as many hardships; sacrificed as many lives in proportion to population; wera - r dwS?i. ysJ "H---5w3e & State Senator Stelwer. paid $10 per month, as were the other volun teers, for their services; and now, how any reasonable or Just man can question their rights to be recognized as United States vol unteers, and placed on the Nation's roll of honor. Is a profound mjsterj we cannot under stand. We do not wish to be unreasonable: forbear ance has ceased to be a virtue, and when we affirm that the citizens of Oregon and Wash ington are Indignant at the treatment these veterans have received, we only voice the united sentiment of the people of the entire Coast. Resolved. That longer dlay In this matter Is unjust, humiliating and Inexcusable. Resolved, That we request oufc Senators and RepresentatH es In Congress to present this matter to the Honorable Speaker and the pension comnittee of the House of Representa tives, and urge Immediate action on the bill now pending In the House of RepresentatH es to penion the Indian War Veterans of Oregon and Washington. Resolved. That a copj- of these resolutions be sent to the Honorable Speaker and tha chairman of the pension committee of the House of Repreeentatlv s, and to each of our delegates In Congress We favor the establishment of a National Park, to Include Crater Lake and Its environs; and that It be fore er maintained for the bene fit of the American people.
