THE MORNING- OBEGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1902. NO SENATOR NAMED Managing Committees Have Not Filled Vacancy. HOW SHALL CHOICE BE MADE Question Raised Whether Nomina tion Shall Be 3Inde by Political Committees: or 7iy the Petl- tlon of Electors. No candidates for the office of Senator to succeed Senator Inman have yet been chosen. Both the Republican and Citi zens managing committees held sessions last evening- to consider the matter, but neither took action. Meetings will be held again tonight. It would seem from a read ing of the election laws that candidates for the office left vacant by the resigna tion of Senator Inman can be nominated only by petition. Opinions differ upon this question, but those.who believe that nominations can be made by committees, found their opinions upon precedent rather than upon the law. It Is said that can didates for the office left vacant by the death of Senator Knott two years ago were nominated by committees. Section 2551, of Hill's Code, provides that an office shall became vacant upon the resignation of the officer. No accept ance of the resignation Is necessary. Section 2549 makes it the duty of the Governor, "when any vacancy shall hap pen In the office of member of the' Sen ate or House of Representatives . . . and a session of the Legislature Is to take place before the next biennial elec tion, the Governor shall issue a writ of election," etc., calling a special election. As no session of the Legislature Inter venes, no special election is necessary, and the vacancy must be filled at the regular election. Section 31, page 78, of the election laws of Oregon, 1301, provides three ways in which nominations may bo made by a political party, by an assembly of electors, nnd by individual electors. A political party Is defined to be an affiliation of electors representing a political party, iwhlch at the general election next pre ceding, polled at least 5 per cent of the entire vote cast. Section 41 of the same act provides for xho withdrawal of candidates who have een nominated, and sections 43 and 44 provide for filling the vacancies on the ticket. Section 43 says: "If the original nomination thus vacated was- made by a political party or assembly and euch party can reconvene, it may fill the vacancy before the day fixed by law forthe elec tion. If the party or assembly h2s dele gated to a committee the power to fill euch vacancies, such committee may llke wlse fill the same." It Is also provided that such vacancies may be filled by pe tition. It will be observed that the authority to fill by committee Is given only In the case of a vacancy after a candidate has been nominated and has- resigned, but does not extend to the nomination in the first Instance. Ionian's resignation cre ated avacancy in the office, and not in the nomination. So far as can be learned, both the Re publican and Citizens committees have been proceeding upon the theory that a nomination by committee will be valid. There certainly would be no invalidity to such a nomination as long as all con cerned are .willing to acquiesce The suc cessor to Senator Knott was nominated by committee two years ago. and as no one objected, his name went on the ticket. Though the law does not expressly ex tend to cases of this, kind, a nomination by committee might be upheld In a test case. If both committees nominate by the same method, neither could well object to the nomination made by the other. Nominations must be filed more than 15 days before the election, and the cer tificates must therefore beln the hands of the County Clerk next Saturday night. Nominations to fill vacancies caused by death or resignation of nominees may be made at any time prior to election, but the County Clerk must arrange the bal lots In form not less than 12 days before election, so in order to be printed on the ballots the names must be In by that time. In tne present case the nomination being an original one, tho 15-day limit will apply. HOW -VASHIXGTOX REGARDS IT. Republican Success In Oregon Need ed to Maintain Great Principles. Mr. J. W. Lysons. secretary of the Re publican State Committee of "Washington, was In the city last evening from Port Townsend, and was a -visitor at the Ore gon Republican State Committee head quarters. Mr. Lysons says the Repub aicans of "Washington are taking much Interest in the result of the approaching election in this State, and hope to see Oregon Increase Its majorities of the past for the Republican ticket. "Few of us are acquainted with your candidates," said Mr. Lysons, "but we know what principles are at stake, and we know that the Republican candidates represent the principles that ought to prevail. The Philippine policy of the Ad ministration is the vital Issue in this campaign. The election of Mr. Furnish and the Republican candidates for Con gress would be Oregon's endorsement off the Administration policy, and the de feat of any one of them would call for eo much explaining that It might as well .be admitted first as last that Oregon does not fully endorse the Republican plat form on the -most "vital issue of the campaign. It might be possible to excuse lack of enthusiasm or indifference about tho retention of the Philippines on the Atlantic coast, or in the middle states, but it would almost seem that on the Pacific Coast the voters ought to go out on election day and hold up their right hand in favor of the retention of the iPfclllpplnes. By the retention of those possessions the commerce of California. Oregon and "Washington will be so exten sive with, those islands and with China and Japan that in 10 years' time It will grow to the same proportions that have been shown on the Atlantic coast states in 50 years by the slow process of com petition. The defeat of Mr. Furnish or either of the Republican candidates for Congress would be hailed as the most encouraging thing that has 'happened for the anti-imperialists since the beginning of the Spanish war. "When the State of "Washington went Republican In the year 1S98, reversing a Populist majority of 1SS6, President McKlnley sent word to our Jatate Committee that he regarded it as the best endorsement he had received, and that it would Influence him greatly ln formulating a policy for the Philip pines. He said he felt that the question of the retention of the islands was largely a local Issue on the Pacific Coast; that the iieneflts to be derived therefrom would te felt first and chiefly here, and that on the other hand the dangers of a policy of abandonment would be especially felt on the Pacific Coast. We all felt proud of that message from the President, and no doubt the present Administration is just as deeply interested in the outcome of the present campaign in Oregon.' "In spite of the fact that In the cam paign of 1S00 in the State of Washington we elected our two candidates "for Con gress, and our full State ticket with the one exception of Governdr, showing clear, ly that the etate was Republican, we have not yet recovered from political effects of the defeat of our candidate for Gov ernor. That defeat was brought about by knifing the candidate In certain sec tions of the State, notably the three large counties of King. Pierce and Spokane As a result of it, at the meeting of our State Committee last week the smaller counties forced a resolution through, basing the appointment for the Republi can State Convention, to be held on Sep tember 10, next, on the vote cast for Governor, Instead of that cast for the Presidential Electors. As a result of that action. Pierce County loses 15 delegates In the State Convention, King County 14 and Spokane County nine, a total of 33 for the three counties. In spite of their earnest protest against such action, the representative's of tlte larger counties admitted, after the meeting, that the committee's action was perfectly just, the apportionment being based on the vote for the head of the ticket. Our con vention will nominate one candidate for the "Supreme Court and three candidates for Congress, and all are certain of elec tion by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority." UP AGAINST IT AT ST. HELENS. Chamberlain nnd Profenaor Wnnn Do Not Stir Up Enthnnlanm. A fine reception and an enthusiastic gathering of admirers, was the report circulated In Portland yesterday regard ing Chamberlain's visit to St. Helens. Men who were in Portland yesterday from St. Helens tell a different story about the "fine reception." According to a man who was there, Chamberlain and Professor Wann got off the tnln at St Helens, walked a mile and a half to the town, and seeing no one whom they knew, went to the Courthouse. They sat down In the courtroom to discuss the strenuous life of the politician until T. C. Watt, the Republican state committee man, espied Mr. Chamberlain, gave him a warm handshake and invited him within the bar to sit among the attorneys. Other gentlemen present then recognized Mr. Chamberlain and shook hands with him. After court adjourned Mr. Chamberlain walked down town with a Democratic leader, and when the man who relates the story left St. Helens the two were chitting on a corner. The failure, fittingly to receive the two Democratic candidates was not due to intentional discourtesy on the part of the local members of the party, but rather to Democratic indifference in this cam paign. The Democrats realize that they are "up against it." While they may cut the Republican vote a little In three or four Willamette Valley counties, they realize that Furnish will make up much of this In Eastern Oregon and that he will be elected by a large majority. Nat urally, they do not take interest in a los ing campaign, though they will go to the polls and as a rule vote their ticket on election day. T. C. Watt was In Portland yester4ay, and when asked about the great Cham berlain reception, described It practically as given above. When asked about the political situation In Columbia County, he said: "" ' "The Republicans will carry the county by 30D majority. I have been Interested in politics in that county long enough to know what I am talking about. There are about a dozen Republicans in each of two precincts who are going to scratch Furnish, and he will thereby lose about 23 votes. I know, however, of some Dem ocratic votes he 'will get, because the men who will vote for him believe he Is the better man for the office of Gov ernor. " "The Socialists will pretty generally vote for their party nominees. Most of the Populists have gone Into either the Republican or Socialist parties, and some have gone Into the Democratic party. The result on the whole means a gain of Republican strength." REPUBLICAN RALLY TONIGHT. Judsre Wlllinius and Judge Copies to Speak in Gomes' Hall. The Republicans of the Tenth and Kleventh Wards will hold a grand rally in Gomez Hall this evening. Judge George H. Williams and Judge John F. Caples will be the principal speakers. Though the fuslonlsts are picturing Judge Will lams as too old to hold the office of Mayor, he has made the best two speeches In this campaign. Gomez Hall Is on Russell street. In Up per Alhlna, and can be most conveniently reached by taking the "U" car on Third street. All are nvlted to attend. IVEY TO TAKE THE STU3IP. Ex-Collector of Alaska Customs Re turns From Washington, D. C. J. W. Ivey, ex-Collector of Customs at Sitka, Alaska, returned yesterday from Washington, where he went In the Interest of legislation for Alaska. As already btated In dispatches from Washington, he has assurances that his mission will be successful. Mr. Ivey will take the stump In the Interest of the Republican ticket In Oregon. While in the East Mr. Ivey talked -with Senator John L. Wilson, of the State of Washington, and secured .front him a promise to make three or four addresses in Oregon during the campaign. Bre'r Hpfer Caught Napping Again. The Salem Statesman tells the best joke of the campaign on Its evening contem porary, the Capital Journal. A few days ago the' Journal published a long com munication in behalf of the election of Chamberlain, and played the article up under big flaring headlines. Now It de velops that the article was written by an inmate of the State Insane Asylum. Many who read the article might have suspected that the letter had such an or igin, iut Its wild statements and far fetched arguments seemed exactly to suit the needs of the Democratic campaign. Socialist Orator Coming. J. Stltt Wilson, a noted Socialist orator, will deliver an address In Gomez Hall, In Alblna, Thursday evening, "May 22. The socialists are making an effort to 'hold the members of their party In line, so as to demonstrate at the polls that social istic principles are gaining In popularity. They have no hope of electing any of their candidates, but desire to develop suffi cient strength at this election to make themselves formidable opponents of the two old parties two years hence. "What Furnish "Will Do in Lane. C. A. Redmond, of Eugene, who was In Portland yesterday on bis way to Seattle, says that there la good reason to believe that Lane County will go Republican this year by a safe majority. He thinks Furnish may run a little behind his ticket, but not enough to hurt. Geer's majority in Lane County four years ago was 50, and Furnish will have at least that much. The reft of the, ticket will have a larger majority. Looks Good at Silverton. Frank Blackerby, the Silverton dentist, was in Portland for a short business visit yesterday. When asked regarding the political situation in Marlon County, he said: "I cannot speak for any except my own section of the county. Everything looks all right for the Republican ticket. Some time ago It looked as though Chamberlain would get some Republican votes, but now the conditions seem to be reversed." Republican Rally Postponed. The rousing rally that has already been advertised for Friday night, In Capen's Hall, Second and Grant streets, under the auspices of the Young Men's Republican Club, of South Portland, has been indef initely postponed, the committee in charge having an op,en-alr, meetlne to bo held In the Park blocks under consideration. The date will be announced later. Addresses by Henry St. Rayner. Henry St. Rayner, of this city, will de liver an address upon the political Issues of the campaign at St Helens this even ing. On Saturday evening. May 17, he will speak at Seaside, Clatsop County. E. "W. Grove.

SOLIS GOES IT ALONE HE REJECTS OLD ROUNDER'S SERV ICES, AND TELLS "WHY. Democrats and Republican Alike Accept His Leadership", and Seelc No Farther. "Alas! for Klllfeather an Judge Thom as O'Day, for the Damon an Pythias of Democracy, Sylvester Pennoyer an Dr. Harry Lane, for Napoleon Davis an Michael J. Clohessy! With them you an I an all of us fell down, an Soils Cohen flourished over us." These words, emanating from an el derly person who was regaling himself with steam beer In a. down-town politi cal center, were enough to establish his Identity as the Old Rounder, whose In- I terest in the local situation made resi dence in Seattle impossible, and who, after settling his affairs in that city, re turned by the next train, "I have been to see D. Soils," he con tinued, "to offer him my Invaluable serv ices marshalln' the untamed Democracy Into line an' marchln' 'em Into little Joe's corral, an' he had the unpardonable ef frontery to ay that he was rldln herd on the critter all sufficient, an' that Joe had limited the appropriation to him an' Aleck Bernstein. "I found him slttln at his desk with a dim, religious light surroundin' his raven locks like a halo. " 'Hello, Soils saya I to him; 'may I ask what grave juty has surftmoned you from the affairs of the Police Court to the solitude of your office? " 'It's my partner.

"It was then that I told him who I was, an' offered htm an option on my services. But he was as blind to my merits as a policeman to the presence of a burglar. " 'I'm the one an only man that's necessary to this campaign,' he tells me. 'Ain't I got polished oratory that has made the echoes wake In 17 lodgerooms, lncludln that of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics?' he says. 'Ain't I from the state of Matthew Stan ley Quay, where politics is drawn in by the babes at the breast an' practiced at the polls by the whlnln' school boy? Ain't I held office with a firmness an a tenacity that makes a devilfish look like a Missouri handshake? An' ain't I been thp candidate of the gloryous party of Joseph Simon for the Mayor of the City of Portland? " 'Hold on, there, Soils,' says I, 'hark In back to that there candidacy of yours, I don't recollect that It was accompanied by no election.' " 'What of that?' says Soils. 'I was the first man on the ticket,' he says, 'count in' from the bottom, an I infused a de gree of eloquence Into the campaign that has never been forgot' "But all this was neither here nor there, nor anywhere else, an' comln direct to the point, I tells D. Soils that some of the Democrats was already klckin' over the traces, lncludln' such shlnin' lights as Jimmy Gleason an' Pat Powers, an that although 'the leaders of the party was dead eager to fuse with any old faction just so It would give 'em a chanca to sur render their Independence an' throw down such stiff-necked partisans as re fused to vote for offlce-seekln' Republi cans, there was them as was restive an' uneasy under the rule of the representa tives of little Joe. " 'Pshaw!' says he, 'there's nothln' In It. You don't know them Democrats. You don't know how anxious they are to get into line when little Joe says the word, speakln' through my own eloquent lips,' he says. 'I've been a Police Commission er off an' on for Jo! these many years ever since, in fact I was made the can didate of reeform an' found reeform so obnoxious as Interpreted by the officious E. W.

" The great an growln law firm of Cohen an' Bernstein has got hundreds o Democratic clients among the gamblers an policemen, an on the county war rants that forms a considerable part of Its revenues you'll find no shortage or Democratic names, names that can be Identified as Democratic names by any primary list you want to show. No, sir, with such a grasp on the rank an' file of the party as has been acquired by me an my partner, Mr. Bernstein, you won't find no klckin' over the traces. If ao be that I'm needln' your services on election day, I'll notify Jake Beck, but for the present, farewell.' " 'But, look here, Soils,' says I, feelln somehow that he was desirous of ter minating the Interview; 'there's one thing more I want to ask you.' " 'Well,' he says, 'be quick about it, for my friend "Pike" .Davis Is waitln below for orders to take to Aleck Sweek, he says, 'an' Sam White.' " 'Beln' a Republican, an' you claims that distinction,' I says, 'how comes It that your are supportln' George Chamber lain, the man that vanquished your old friend. Rush GlltnerT I says. "Rush Glltner is i hasbeen, says Soils. Me an him gits along all right for a time, he says, but by an' by there grows up a difference between us, an' I find3 it necessary to get on the Police Commis sion to settle it' he says, 'an It's me that has took the Chlny business out of 'the hands of the District Attorney an' placed it In trust with the Police Commission. As far as Rush is concerned, I ain't got no quarrel with him, but I don't see no bar to me glvin' aid an comfort to his enemies, as my old forefathers of Revloo tionary times used to say. Besides, Rush is supportln' George C. hlaself, an so Is Russ Sewall, for that matter.' " 'Well, Soils,1 I says, regretful, 'If I can't do no business with you I spose It won't do no good for me to see no Dem ocrats,' I says. 'All I wanted was the nomination for State Senator.' " 'Holy smoke!' exclaims Soils, 'do you call that all? Say, I'll give you a little bit of Information. I have mentioned myself for that place, an" I don't know but I'll Issue an order on Aleck Sweek for the job, seeln' as I don't stand no chance for another term of my present position. The Democrats say they want a Democrat in the place, but I don't see where I'm not as good a Democrat as any of them, an' between you an me, that's just about what I'll do, unless they get onto me too hard. You know I'd make a mighty handsome flgger In one of them seats up at Salem, an' Joe an me Is needln' a man there that can sort o' get things greased up for a slide Into the United States Senate when no one ain't lookln. I ain't no John D. Rocke feller, but when It comes to oil, I keeps a stock constantly ort hand. No, sir, you can't have no job of that impor tance. '."An sendin' a messenger downstairs to admit the patient Pike, he opens the door an shoots me out of It. "That's what I call rank Ingratltood in Soils, for once six years ago I sat clear through one of his speeches, an' applaud ed every time he stopped Impressively an' give me the wink." And with -a sigh the Old Rounder tossed off his liquor 'and becTXme silent . COMING ATTRACTIONS. Big Advance Sale for Nat Goodwin. One of the largest advance sales in the history of the Ma'rquam Grand Theater took place yesterday, when seats began selling for N. C. Goodwin and Maxim Elliott Of all the successes the Mar quam has had this season. It seems that Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott will have the most flattering in point of crowded house. Their former success, "When "We Were Twenty-One," will be presented tomorrow night, for the opening bill, also at the matinee Saturday. On Saturday night "An American Citizen," qne of the best things these clever artists have ever produced, will be given. No greater treat can be offered the votaries of the theater, for Mr. Goodwin Is unquestionably the greatest comedian on the English-speaking stage, while among the present-day heroines of stage comedy. Miss Elliott, by her lovable personality, has assumed a position on the stage of today that cannot be paralleled by any of our comediennes. In each play she wears some magnificent gowns, many of them the highest art of the dressmaker's conception. The com pany that will support Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott has been with these players for many years. They will also bring with them, the complete scenic productions that were used during the original pre sentation at both New York and London. "Tvro Little Wnlfs." The most pretentious organization that Lincoln J. Carter has ever presented for public approval will appear at Cordray'6 the week commencing Sunday, May 18. "Two Little Waifs" Is conceded to be the masterpiece of this author, and promises to outrival all previous efforts. In writ ing this play Mr. Carter has departed from lils usual theme and culminated a pen drawing of modern stagecraft Pathos so deftly mingled with mirth, that when one cries he wipes his eyes to find him self convulsed with laughter. The story Is one of deep heart, and lacks any Illu sion to blood and thunder. The cast se lected consists of time-tried and competent actons, including the clever Lamb chil dren, who were born In Portland, who be came famous for their excellent portrayals In '"The Night Before Christmas." "In Mizzourn" Still a nit. There never was a better character comedy than "In MIzzoura," with which the Stuart company is delighting packed houses at the Baker Theater every night, and a better production of the comedy has never been given In Portland. The house last night was the largest midweek audi ence In the history of the theater, and, judging from the advance sale, there will be a still larger crowd tonight The com pany is thoroughly at home in the play, and each member has made an lndlcldual hit The Banker's Daughter." Bronson Howard's great play, "The" Banker's Daughter," has been selected as the bill at the Baker Theater following "The Count of Monte . Crlsto." It is a play which requires rich costuming, and It has been selected In advance In order to give the women in the company a chance to array themselves In a fashion that will be the talk of the rest of the women In town for seven days 'after the performance. "The Coant of Monte Crlsto." Nearly every one who goes to theaters knows the story of "The Count of Monte Crlsto," the drama which will be present ed at the Baker Theater by the Stuart company, beginning next Sunday. The play requires the most elaborate kind of a scenic equipment and a large force of mechanics Is now employed at the theater preparing It Every scene will be especial ly painted, and Manager Baker, who is giving his personal supervision to the scenic part of the production, promises that it will be a surprise and delight to the patrons of the theater. There has already been a big advance sale for the play, which will be given its first perform ance Sunday afternoon. The Frawleys at the Marqunm. One of the strongest companies that Mr. Frawley has ever sent to Portland comes to the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday night for a week's stay. During that time four plays will be pre sented. Monday and Tuesday nights Augustus Thomas' great success, "Ala bama." will be given. Following on Wednesday' and Thursday nights comes "Sweet Lavender," one of the prettiest plays ever written. Friday night and at the Saturday matinee, the famous "Charity Ball" will be the bill. For the lest performance Saturday night the com pany will appear In "Blue Jeans." There is not much need be said of the Frawlty company, for there is no organi zation uetter known in this city. Ben jamin Howard will be the leading man, and he will be supported by old Frawley favorites. - I Of special Interest will be the appear ance of Mlnnette Barrett "who will In three of the plays have the leading fe male iole. Miss Barrett Is a well-known Portland girl, and her wonderful success this , season has been good news to her friends here. 'Lovers' Lane." The New York raging success, "Lovers' Lane," Is one of the songs sung In "Too Rich to Marry," which comes to Cord ray's Theater soon. You can hear all the latest songs, and there are a numper of them with this comedy hit REDUCED RATES EAST. Grasi Aerie fraternal Order of Eagles, Minneapolis, Jane 3 to 10.

Hopes of Settlement Fall, and Both Sides Are Xott Determined Xot to Grant Concessions. The last hope of an Immediate settle ment of the planing mill trouble vanished Tuesday, when the Employers' Association and the arbitration committee from th Federated Trades Council failed to reach an agreement Both sides have now de clared a firm stand, and will not talk of concessions. An enthusiastic meeting of the Planing Mill Men's "Union was held last night. In which matters were discussed that, when brought into operation, they believe will add much to the strength of their position. "The boycott has never been rigidly en forced as yet" say the union men, "as we hoped not to -Implicate our fellow workers In other unions In the 'rouble. It will now be pushed to the limit, however, and will be found very effective." The union men have found that men are being sent to Portland without being Informed of the strike here, and yesterday the following posters were sent, to all of the principal cities of the Pacific Coast and some Eastern cities, 'where they will be distributed generally: Amalgamated Woodworkers' International Union STAY AWAY. All sash and door men are requested to stay away from Portland, Or., as a strike is on. So please look out for agents lurinj men for this place. LOCAL UNION. NO. 68. Arrangements were also made to give a series of social functions to raise money to provide for the strikers. The employers are as firm as previously, and are getting a few new men each day. Two were reported yesterday. Carl Jackson, proprietor of the North Pacific planing mill, who considers him self a sash and door man In good standing, sent in his application for membership In the union, and his name was voted upon.

It Is much cooler In the North Pacific States, and moderately heavy rains have fallen during the last 12 hours In Oregon and In Southern and Western Washington. The unsettled conditions that have prevailed during the past few days are becoming less pronounced, and the Indications are that the weather will clear durins the next 24 hours and be followed by slowly rising tempera tures. The Columbia River Is rising at the rate of about half a foot a day. and It will probably be high enough to cover some of the lower docks by the first of next week. PACIFIC COAST WEATHER.
