DESERTED HERMANN AT EUGENE

Tfce Hon. George C Brownell. the enlg

SjIs troubles- Mr. Brownell Is hot foot
after the United States District Attorney
ahlD. He hoped, by pulling Hermann
through the convention at Eugene, that
that gentleman would reciprocate by pull
ing for him. Upwever, air. urowneu
proved himself a 'quitter" In that conven
tion, and Mr. Hermann was nominated
entirely without any boosts from the sup
posedly omniscient statesman from Claek-
The. brlirht Heht of Brownell's states.
mjiTurhln Is bedlmmed by that episode.
TeeUrday he went to Astoria to get aid
and comfort from Senator Fulton, but
nary a rainbow did he see. Senator Ful
ton was In Portland, and so Sir. Brownell
hied himself back; to this city. Last
right the two had an affectionate reunion,
the first since the Senator was elected.
nearly two months ago. The meeting
was said to be a very gushy one on the
part of tho Clackamas statesman, and It
is said also that tie hugged the Senator
and actually wept down the Senator's
back.
Brotvnell S offers a Relapse.
Mr. Brownell might have won the Dls--trlct-AttornershlD.
had ho stuck to Her
mann through all the Ins and outs and
the thicks and thins of the convention.
His prescience, which many men had
come to regard as Infallible, then
showed ud his fallings. It showed.
moreover, that he has little tenacity or
erlt, and that a light solar-plexus will
put him out of business. Mr. Brownell's
reputation has suffered a oreaarui re
lapse. Tho bright orb of his foxlness
seems to bave entered the shadow of the
firm machine" ecllnse.
The statesman has the "Indorsement"
of Senator Fulton for the Attorneyship.
Hod he stuck to his post of duty as chair
man of the convention, instead of going
off to 'bed. he would have had the "In
dorsement" of nermann, too. Judge J. C
Moreland has the support of Senator
Mitchell and of Representative 'William
eon.
It Is culto likely that the support of
Fulton and Hermann could have out
weighed the Influence of Mitchell and
"Williamson. Mitchell has doled out sev
eral good things, such as the United
States Marshal' office to W. F. Matth
ews, and the office of Collector of Cus
toms to I. L. Patterson, and he Is hold
lng Colonel D. M. Dunne as Collector of
Internal Revenue. Senator Fulton Is en
titled to a share of the pic. and a slice
like the District Attorneyship Is about
the slie of Brother Brownell, to whom
Senator Fulton Is Indebted and to whom
the Senator has promised "Indorsement.'
Mitchell's Promlne to Moreland.
Although Mitchell has pledged himself
to Moreland. he could perhaps have
squirmed out of tils promise by saying
that circumstances had arisen in the
election of Fulton which be could not re.
"elst- He might have pleaded that he
could not stand In tho way of Fulton, who
clearly Is entitled to recognition. He
might have said that the debt to More-
land was Inherited from Senator Mc-
TJrlde. and that It came with the assign
ment of the Senatorahlp to Mitchell by
McBride. Senator Mitchell might havi
declared that the situation had entirely
outgrown the clrcumstancm under which
the promise nad been given, even though
the promise was In writing.
But It does not appear that the way Is
open for all this to come to pass. If Ful
ton and Mitchell insist upon carrying out
their respective promises, they will get
Into an awkward relation. But It really
does not seem likely that Fulton will In
nlst on opposing the three other members
of the Oregon delegation. This deduction
Is drawn from the assumption that Her.
ronnn will be elected.
Wherefore the whole business. In the
eyes of Mr. Brownell. Is In a wretched
situation. And the miserable contre
temps that brought It all about came
from his fatal mistake of deserting Her
mann In the hour of need and going to
bed.
Uroirncll'n Stand-In.
Hero is an Interesting exhibit: Mitchell
likes Brownell. but will not support the
oleaginous statesman; Fulton does not like
him. but will support him. Mitchell ad
mires Brownell so much as to call him
the best politician In Oregon. Fulton Is
afraid of .Brownell and knows that Brown
.ell In tho Legislature Intrigued for his
defeat.
The common talk is that Mitchell Is the
.only man whom Brownell would not
throw down. Mr. Brownell Is so proud
of his faithfulness to the senior Senator
that ho uses it to discredit the frequent
jjtorles about his "shiftiness." Mr.
BrowncH doesn't tickle Senator Mitchell
-jui ho does everybody else whom he
meets. He may gaze Into the Senator's
face with those large soulful eyes; he
may give the Senator's hands the velvet.
moist squeeze of his own ana may even
declare to the Senator that he "loves"
him. but the twain know each other too
well to go any further with their fond
exhibitions. Tho communion between the
two is so close that the story goes Mr.
Brownell does not tell any lies to the
Senator. Under these circumstances the
politicians ask. 'Is It any wonder that the
Senator trusts George?
Senator Fulton's feelings toward Mr.
Brownell are of a different kind. He
3 Indebted to the statesman for the sup
port Brownell gave him in the Legisla
ture. But he knows that Brownell stayed
by him not because Brownell loved him.
but because the Clackamas gentleman
'could find nowhere else to go. Fulton was
on pins and needles the "last night" lest
Brownell should Jump away from him.
Georgn was so weak-kneed that he had
to be supported by certain of Fulton's
managers, among them being Senator
ICuykendaAI. who braced him up as he
held the gavel.
Tet there are many people who believe
that Mr. Brownell. if he ever told the
truth in his life. Is telling the truth when
ha Innocently and humbly denies all de
rlro to occupy the warm. fat. sleepy office
of District Attorney. They reason this
way: George likes to be "It." If he gets
tucked away In an omce like that the peo
ple will forget he is "It." George likes
to have the plaudits of the multitude
tickle his tympanum. In an office like
that he will have to get out of politics.
Besides, he is not an able lawyer, in spite
of his dazzling acts of statesmanship. The
practice of law in a village is very dif
ferent from the practice of law In Uncle
Eam's dominion.
One Source of Opposition.
Right here It may be noted that Gov
ernment employes who are anxious to.
have land grabbers prosecuted are oppos
ing any man for District Attorney who
might be Influenced to prosecute gently.
Many frauds are to be uncovered, and the
Prosecuting Attorney will have plenty to
do. whatever may be the reasons lor
their preference head officers of the land
department and Inspectors who are sent
out here are understood to desire some
other gentleman for District Attorney
than the Hon. George C Brownell.
In spite of Mr. BrowneU's great faculty
of money-making he Is a poor man. It
Is his common boast to his purkllnd con
tinents that he gets money from the
rich to give to tho poor. Many citizens
of Clackamas, men who have been In
the last depth of despair or too nave
been so poor that they knew not how
to lift the mortgage that bore them down
have been happy recipients of Mr.
Brownell's generous bounty.
The statesman Is said to nave maoe wis
of money In his day. but It goes easily.
He has little or nothing "saiiea uown.
He does not love money for Its own sake.
He loves the plaudits of the multitude
better. Therefore George wanted to go
to Congress oh. so much! He even naa
his wenthir eye open for the nomination
at the Eugene convention. Some people
are so unkind as to say he went to bed
because he had his weather eye open.
Other people are so unkind as to say that
the Hermann folks are sore at him be
cause he flirted for the office.
Banks and Ills "Battened" House.
Whether W. W. Banks will shed tears
In his "battened" house la a. question of
high moment. Banks stampeded to the
Fulton band wigon on the "last night."
For this act of charity on his pan irui-
ton promised to reciprocate with an act of
charity also that is, to give xuuuu mo
deputy District Attorneyship.
But Banks probably wiu not gei uai
he Is after If Brownell wins. The reason
Is that both gentlemen are Fulton s can
didates. Binks Is more likely to be ap
pointed If Moreland Is named.
Senator MltcheU will be in Portland
about a month hence. The whole delega
tion will then meet to shake the plum
tree and cut the pie. Several choice plums
are already overripe. Chief of them Is the
District Attorneyship, and the ooce 01
Collector of Internal Revenue, which
Colonel Dunne holds down by dealing out
mixtures to Senator Mitchell of palaver
and hot air. The Colonel Is the Senator's
head lackey when the Senator Is In Port
land. He calls on the Senator every morn
ing of the world, and dines and wines
him. and when the Senator returns to
Washington he finds a great Dig mincn
of flowers on his desk from Colonel
Dunne.
The delegation will have offices to dis
tribute also at Roseburg, Lakeview and
Burns. And plenty of hungry gentlemen
are waiting for the delegation to act.

TO HOLD BIG BENEFIT-
Theatrical Managers Unite to Help
Actors' Home Fnnd.
The theatrical managers of the city de
cided at a meeting held yesterday that a
grand benefit performance will be held at
the Marquam Theater on the afternoon of
Tuesday, April 21. to raise funds to help
towards tne esUDiisnment oi a sanu
tarlum for consumptive actors and ac
tresses, to be located either In Colorado
or Arizona, or whatever place a commit
tee of specialists In the disease might de
cide upon. On the occasion named, every
player In the city will doubtless contrib
ute to the programme. Harry Corson
Clarke, now playing at the Baker The
ater, will contribute his playlet "One
Touch of Nature," or some other suit
able offering. Mrs. Brune. who Is to open
at the Marquam April 30. will produce
one act from her new play "Unorna." and
the company at Cordray"s that week will
also present their contribution.
Similar benefits win be held in every
town of Importance In the United States,
and the money so collected will be sent
to an executive committee In cw lork
City, the members of which will be com
posed of the most prominent managers
and professional people In the country.
This extract Is taken from a letter writ
ten by Robert E. Bell, of the central com
mittee: "A glance at any one of the
Denver papers will show that In the ad
vertisements offering rooms for rent this
line Is usually found: 'Children, dogs and
consumptives barred.' There are one or
two homes for consumptives, but In places
where the sufferer can receive pre per
treatment, the prices are so high that
there are few who can afford to pay them.
Given fresh air, nourishing food and free
dom from worry, and there Is a chance
that the disease can be cured if it has
not progressed too far. With constant
worry over financial matters. Insufficient
food, and the many little annoyances
which weigh doubly upon the person -who
Is sick. It is no wonder that many a
professional who In times past amused
thousands of people, and whose name was
once well known, suffers and dies In the
West, In many Instances too disheartened
to mako the battle that might give him
life."

termined and prepared for a fight, the de

of Police averted what would doubtless
have been a serious riot.

S. S. Bailey, of Seattle, Is Consider-
In the Project.
S. S. Bailey, a well-known hotel man of
Seattle and Spokane, who was until re
cently the proprietor of the Hotel North
ern, In the former city. Is now In Port
land.
Mr. Bailey Is seriously considering the
advisability of erecting a large hotel In
this city, and for several days has been
looking over suitable locations for such a
structure. Mr. Bailey requires a piece of
ground not less than 100x100 feet, and pos
sibly as large as half a block, his present
Idea being the erection of a building
which will cost XSOO.OOO. be some seven
stories high and contain accommodations
for at least EDO people.
"I am not considering this matter," said
Mr. Bailey at the Hotel Perkins yester
day, "ln any connection with the Fair of
1306. That will, of course, be a temporary
affair only. 1 am looking the ground over
because I am Impressed with the general
idea that the City of Portland, ln common
with the whole of the Pacific Northwest.
Is growing so fast that Its facilities, espe
cially Its hotel facilities, are by no means
keeping pace with the Increasing demand.
'For many years there Is going to be
a steady tide of Immigration Into this
country. If there Is not enough hotel ac
commodation now. there will be less and
less as each month goes by. While the
Fair and the visitors that It will bring
here would help the hotel business, the
steady growth of the country and the fa
vorable prospects for Its steady continu
ance are the things that are leading me
to Investigate the price of real estate here
Just at present.
"I have made no definite plans for the
hotel I have ln mind, and will first have
to secure a location. I will build ln the
heart of the business district If I build
at all. but so far as I have been able to
see up to the present the price of good
locations in Portland Is disproportionate
ly high. Much of the land la apparently
held by old residents and estates which
are not anxious to sell at any price."

Mr. Huntington used to be amused at

will keep Morshead from thinking of cer
