Hermann Had Given Up Fight
at One Stage.
Beaten to a standstill toy the opposi
tion. Dinger Hermann snatches victory
from the laws of defeat.
Which of the other candidates should
get the nomination they themselves
would sot decide, sad while they hesi
tated the auspicious moment passed, the
leading candidate rallied, pulled to
gether his strength, gained recruits
from the waiting ones snd gstned the
nomination.
Though the battle was a genuine
straggl while It lasted the best of
good feeling seemed to prevail when the
result became known.
EUGENE, on. April . Staff corre
spondence.) Blnger Hermann was nom
inated for Congress tonight. The conven
tlon was In session 9$4 hours, and was In
tumult moat of that time. Early in the
convention Hermann hovered within six
or seven votes of the 87 required to noml
nate. Then his forces went to pieces In
the face of stubborn opposition. His ri
vals succeeded to the mastery of the con
vention, but they could not agree upon a
candidate. For four hours each of them
refused to yield.
The Hermann managers took heart
again about 10 P. 1L and reorganized their
ranks as they had been early In the con
ventlon. Thereupon Eddy of Tillamook
declared that his delegation of five. In
order to end a fruitless contest, would
support Hermann. Vawter withdrew and
left his delegation to go whither they de
sired, and his people flocked to Hermann.
Gatch of Marion and Kelly of Linn united
their forces. The union was too long put
off, however, and accomplished nothing.
The final vote was: Hermann, $5;
Gatch, 72; Kelly, 9. The total number of
votes cast was ITS, three more than were
In the convention, but the opponents of
Hermann saw that they could accomplish
nothing by demanding another ballot, and
on motion of Kay of Marion. Hermann
was declared the unanimous choice of the
convention. Speechmaklng by Hermann
and bis rivals showed that the outcome of
the fight had not left wide breaches, and
that all elements of the party would work
for the election of the party's nominee.
Hermann Had Given It Up.
Hermann's rivals had beaten all hope
out of his supporters. About 7 P. M.,
Brownell. who had been elected chairman
of the convention by combined Hermann
and Clackamas votes, withdrew and went
to bed, charging the members of his dele.
gatlon with treachery for falling to aid
Hermann toward 'the nomination. Her
mann himself went to his hotel In the be
lief that his game was lost. About 11
o'clock both learned that the convention
was coming back to Hermann, and they
returned to the convention.

In deciding the Northern Securities
case the Uclted State Circuit Court of
Appeals holds, that:
The merger destroyed competition
between the Northern Pacific snd Great
Northern by destroying the motive for It.
Such a combination would have been
a violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law. if formed by individuals.
Acts done by corporations are Illegal
If the same would hare been illegal it
done by natural persons.
The Securities Company power to
suppress competition, and has provided
for so doing.
The New Jersey charter of the com
pany is n shield against the. operation
otthe-hr, for the New Jersey law
allows Incorporations only "for any
lawful purpose."
Aside from this restriction, any state
law is void so far is "it elves powers
to violate the anti-trust act.
Toe plea that the Government can do
nothing because the merger 'is already
consummated Is absurd.
Though the plea that the objects and
effects of the merger are to confer a
public benefit may be true, still the
merger is illegal.
The decree forbids the voting of stock
in the merged roads by the North
era Securities Company, forbids the
railroad comDanles to submit to any
Influence of the Securities Company, and
orders that the railroad stock held by
the Securities Company may be ex
changed again for its own stock with
the perrons from whom it was acquired
or others.
