MOODY HAY MOT CONTEST
Congressional Convention to
Meet Without Conflict
EACH FACTION HOLDS CAUCUS
Mr. Moody Willing to Go Down to
Defeat With Colors FJylng-WIH-
Iamson Forces Claim Decisive
Control of Eastern Oregon.
Representative J. N. "Williamson will be
renominated today In the Republican con
vention of the Second Congressional Dis
trict The candidacy of ex-Representative
M. A. Moody will probably not be pre
eented to the convention.
Moody adherents are of the opinion that
it "would be useless to present their canal
date for nomination. They would undoubt
cdly do so, however, were they sure that
Moody delegates were a majority In East
ern Oregon. Their purpose in so doing
would be not to nominate their man, but
to show that he was Eastern Oregon's
choice. But by their most favorable cal
culations Moody might receive only a bare
majority of Eastern Oregon votes and
anight poll even less. Late last night the
Moody people held a caucus In which the
foregoing sentiment was paramount. Still,
they did not finally resolve to scuttle the
chip, but appointed a steering committee
which should map out the best tactics for
today's battle. Mr. Moody informed the
caucus that he was entirely at the service
of his friends and that he would go Into
the light and sink with colors flying, If
they so desired. The conference was unan
imous in Its fidelity to their candidate,
end was marked by an earnestness that
the adverse situation seemed unable to
ehake. "Whatever Influences shall deter
mine the nomination to be mado today, it
is very certain that the solidity of the
Moody support arises only from that
affection and loyalty which he has In
spired in his friends.
His friends believed, however, that the
more prudent course for them will be to
use their power in controlling nominations
for legislative and judicial districts in the
State Convention.
Williamson Delegates' Caucus.
"Williamson delegates also held a coun
cil of war at which "William J. Lachner,
formerly chairman of the Baker County
Central Committee, presided. After count
ing noses they announced that "Williamson
already was In possession of 60 votes from
Eastern Oregon, against Moody's 26. They
mado out the vote as follows:
For "Williamson 1
For Moody
MaJheur . ...... O
Baker 14
Union 10
Wallowa 6
Wasco 12
Wheeler .......... 4
Gilliam 4
Grant
Harney 4
Morrow C
Sherman 4
Crook r
Total 30
Umatilla 1C
Total 00
The foregoing figures were vigorously
disputed in the Moody camp, where it was
Insisted that the delegations from Sher
man, Harney, Grant, Baker and Umatilla
contained supporters of their candidate.
"Williamson managers plan to nominate
their candidate in the convention today
by a rising vote so as to smoke out such
delegates as have been trimming and to
demonstrate finally that their man con
trols Eastern Oregon. This plan was
hailed last night at the "Williamson cau
cus with approval. In the Moody camp It
was announced that such strategy would
be futile.
Choice of National Delegates.
This morning at 9 o'clock "Williamson
men will again meet to determine upon
further plans of campaign. They de
sire to make their victory as triumphant
as possible. At this morning's caucus
eliglbles for National delegates will be
discussed for election both by the Con
gressional Convention and by the State
Convention. The former convention will
choose two National delegates to repre
sent the Second District; the latter will
choose four to represent the state at
large. The caucus may also consider
candidates for Presidential electors. The
State Convention will nominate four can
didates for those offices.
James A. Fee Will Preside.
The Congressional Convention today and
the State Convention tomorrow will be
held In the Empire Theater, Twelfth and
Morrison streets, beginning at 10 A. M.
James A. Fee, of Pendleton, will be se
lected temporary and permanent chairman
of today's convention. H. S. "Wilson,
chairman of the District Central Com
mittee, will probably not be present owing
to sickness in his family. In that case
P. L. "Willis, of Portland, secretary of the
Central Committee, will call the conven
tion to order. The day's proceedings
promise to be unexciting and to be in
the nature of ratifying what has already
been agreed upon. The convention should
finish its work early this afternoon. The
real political activity will center In the
State Convention tomorrow.
The two National delegates to be chosen
today will be C. H. Carey, of Portland,
and N. C. Richards, of Sumpter.
Many Delegates Arrive.
Most of the 194 delegates arrived yester
day, and few were absent from the city
last night. A number of delegates to the
First District Convention, which will be
held at Salem today were in this city in
the morning. Among the persons who ar
rived in the course of the day were:
George E. Davis, of Canyon City, can
didate for Circuit Judge in Grant, Harney
and Malheur Counties; Frank L. Moore,
of Baker City, and Leroy Lomax, candi
dates for District Attorney in Baker,
Union and "Wallowa; Ira B. Sturgis, of
Baker, who aspires to Dairy and Food
Commissioner; T. H. Johnston, of Dufur,
who is State Senator; James A. Fee, of
Pendleton, who will be chairman, and who
may be nominated for Presidential Elector
tomorrow.
Others were: Frank Menefee, of The
Dalles, candidate for renomination for
Prosecuting Attorney in his judicial dis
trict; L S. Smith, of Vale, -who would like
to be sent to the National Convention; J.
W. MeCulloch, of Vale, who hopes to be
nominated for Prosecuting Attorney In
the Ninth District; "W. R. Ellis, of Pen
dleton, who is Circuit Judge in Umatilla
and Morrow, and G. "W. Phelps, of Hepp
ner, who seems likely to be nominated for
Prosecuting Attorney in that district.
Still others of note were: F. S. Bllnn, of
Prairie City; L. R. Bellman, of Sumpter;
H. A. Holmes, W. H. Allen. J. H. Dobbin.
G. "W. Hyatt. "W. R. Holmes and J. A.
Rumble, of "Wallowa; J. H. Aitkin, R. "W.
Frame and Peter Johnson, of Huntington;

FIERCE FIGHT ON J. W. BAILEY
Charles Holman Is Prominent As
pirant Before State Convention.
In the State Convention tomorrow a
fierce fight ,will be waged for nomination
of Food and Dairy Commissioner. J. W.
Bailey, incumbent, hopes to win the
office again, but signs and omens point
to the nomination of Charles Holman.
Baker County has a candidate In the per
son of I. B. Sturgis and Clatsop in the
person of C. "W. Carnahan. "W. C, North,
of Multnomah, would cherish the honor.
This contest will be the only one that
will come before the entire convention.
There will be numerous fights for Legis
lative and judicial nominations, but they
will be confined to portions of the conven
tion. Holman boomers announce that their
SPECTATORS THAT

tary Allen, of the

mittee, "It feels good

man will be supported by most. If not all,
of tho Multnomah delegates and by many
delegates in Eastern Oregon. Clackamas,
they say, will line up for him, since that
county was formerly his place of resi
dence. Tho only doubtful factor in tho
problem is the sentiment of Middle and
Southern Oregon delegates, who have
not yet arrived and whoso opinions have
not been sounded. But Holman adherents
declare that their candidate already has
enough votes In sight to insure his nom
ination. The name of the chairman of tho con
vention will go forth today. Yesterday
afternoon leaders of the largest counties
held a conference over selection of a
chairman, but arrived at no decision. The
counties have been asked to propose eli
glbles for chairman. The man who shall
wield tho gavel will be decided upon,
probably at noon today, with the acquies
cence of representatives of tho First Dis
trict delegations, who may not be in the
city at the time.
Eastern Oregon delegates have proposed
that Multnomah name tho chairman from
Its own delegation. This county, however,
will decline the honor, for It prefers to
name two delegates at large for the Na
tional convention. The two whom Mult
nomah will present will be H. W. Scott
and W. B. Ayer. C. H. Carey, of Port
land, will be elected National delegate In
tho District Convention today. When this
programme was proposed yesterday fears
were expressed that outside counties
would oppose the selection of three dele
gates from Multnomah, but concessions
were offered in other directions, chiefly of
the chairmanship of the convention, and
the proposal was not resisted.
The convention at Salem today will
choose two National delegates, making the
total from Oregon eight. J. U. Campbell,
of Clackamas, seems likely to be elected
at Salem.
Not much was said yesterday In the
political rendezvous about candidates for
Presidential Elector. Four candidates will
be nominated tomorrow for those offices.
Tyler Woodward, of Multnomah, was men
tioned; also G. B. Dimick, of Clackamas,
who has the indorsement of his county;
James A. Fee, of Pendleton, and E. V.
Carter, of Ashland, or W. L Vawter, of
Medford. It may be said, however, that
no plans have matured for any candidate,
and that the foregoing names were heard
only In gossip.
Frank A. Moore will be nominated for
Supreme Judge by the unanimous voice
of the convention.
Multnomah County will nominate George
W. Holcomb for Joint Representative
from Multnomah and Clackamas. The
latter county Is Instructed for the nom
ination of C. H. Dye. Dr. E. G. Clark, of
Portland, has been frequently spoken of
as a probable nominee, but Holcomb will
be the man. For Senator from the joint
district of Multnomah, Columbia and
Washington C. W. Hodson, of Portland,
will be named.
The contest yesterday in Multnomah
for the two seats on the Circuit bench
and for the office of District Attorney
was even keener than before. Both More
land and McNary declared that they had
made inroads upon Sanderson Reed's ter
ritory. An effort has been made by Reed's
enemies to array the gambling and sa
loon influence against him. Reed will un
doubtedly lead on the first ballot, and his
rivals are planning to wear out tho en
durance of his supporters. Nothing final
came of the fight yesterday, but today
may bring forth definite results. Up to
last night no caucus of Multnomah dele
gates had been called.
In the Sixth Judicial District, composed
of Umatilla and Morrow, G. W. Phelps
will probably be nominated; at least that
was the word from leaders of the Uma
tilla delegation. For Representative from
the same Joint district Dr. W. G. Cole, of
Umatilla, will be named, according to
present plans.
In the Seventh District no candidate
seems willing to run against W. L. Brad
shaw, who will be the Democratic nomi
nee for re-election. B. S. Huntington, of
Wasco, is the most frequently mentioned
eligible. Others spoken of are J. B. Hos
ford, of Sherman; W. H. "Wilson, of Was
co, and Brink of Crook. District Attor
ney Frank Menefee will be renominated.
In the Eighth District, Bakdr, Union and
Wallowa, a Williamson-Moody fight is In
progress for the Dlstrlct-Attorneyshlp.
Frank Moore, of Baker, backed up by the
14 votes of his county. Is the Williamson
candidate. Leroy Lomax, supported by
Union and Wallowa's 16 votes. Is the
Moody candidate. Bach aspirant professes
himself confident of success. Sixteen votes
are required to nominate.
In the Ninth district, George B. Davis
will be nominated without contest But
two candidates are in keen rivalry for the
Job of District Attorney: J. W. MeCulloch.
to whom is pledged the support of Malheur,
J and William Miller, to whom are pledged
the votes of Harney. Malheur and Harney
are thus at loggerheads and Grant will
have to name the candidate. In a caucus
of Grant delegates, yesterday, It was mu
tually agreed that that county should
give the nomination to Miller.
The joint district of Sherman, Gilliam
and "Wheeler will name J. Bowerman for
Senator and for Representatives probably
C. C. Kuney, of Sherman, and R. N. Don
nolly or H. Balstead, of Wheeler.
Union and "Wallowa will nomlnatae
Caviness or Gale, of Union, for Senator,
and probably J. H. Dobbin, of "Wallowa,
for Representative.
Grant County has candidates for repre
sentative In the persons of Allen Porter,
P. J. Bannon and Leedy. Aspirants for
Senator in that district are Dr. V. Gess
ner, of Crook, Emmett, of Klamath, and
Massingll, of Lake.

SEVERE BLOW TO HA2TDB00KS
Mayor Harrison Does Not Even
Spare O'Leary.
CHICAGO, April 12. Tho severest blow
ever dealt handbook making in Chicago
was delivered by Mayor Harrison today,
when he revoked the saloon licenses of
eight places where this kind of gambling
was conducted. The sensation came in
the revocation of the license of James
O'Leary, known the country over as
"Gambling King O'Leary. O'Leary has
heretofore been immune from interfer
ence, but the crusade against thl3 kind of
gambling now seems to mean a thorough
cleaning put regardless of "Influence."
Britain May Reimpose Grain Duties.
LONDON, April 12. The government,

that tho former arangement of 6 cents
per hundredweight on Imported grain and
10 cents on flour will be revived In Its en
tirety. The announcement found little
credence among the members of the
House of Commons, who anticipated that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
make up the deficit largely from an In
crease in tho Income tax.

Steamer Strikes a Rock at Punta

Acajutla-Reef Marks Graces

SAN FRANCISCO, April YL-The Mer
chants' Exchange has received a cable
gram stating that the Pacific Mall Steam
ship Company's steamer Colon, which
left this city March 22 for Panama, with
toiT
Charlie Burckhardt,
nmlUBsr and bland In

a number of passengers and a cargo of
general merchandise to Mexican and Cen
tral American points, has been wrecked.
Tho Colon is reported to have struck on
a rock at Punta Remedios, causing in
juries which made it necessary to beach
her at Acajulta.
The Colon Is In command of Captain
"William A. Irvine, one of the oldest and
most careful masters in the service of
the Pacific Mall.
There was a big list of passengers when
the vessel went oufof this harbor, but
most of them were bound for ports north
of Acajutla, Those, however, who were
going through to Panama and would have
been aboard the craft when she struck
were: Miss C. N. Powell, Miss H Olof

Schmidt, Lieutenant E. W. Wood, M. T.
C. Dechasse, Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Printer
and Rev. and Mrs. S. V. Dille.
Tho vessel left Acajutla yesterday after
noon bound south for Panama, and she
had only gone about 15 miles when she
hit on the rock. The reef whero the
vessel struck is considered one of the
most dangerous along the Central Ameri
can Coast, and many vessels have found
graves on it. According to seafaring
men who know tho reef, the steamer was
fortunate in getting afloat after striking
and getting back to the harbor at Aca
jutla. i -

DEER ISLAND DYKE.
Pilots Protest Against the Proposed
Change.
The Columbia River pilots protest
vigorously against the proposed alteration
of the Deer Island dyke, In the lower Co
lumbia. Major Langfitt has been asked
by the Chief of Engineers to submit es
timates for repairing and raising the top
level of the dyke. According to the "Wash
ington dispatch, the purpose is "to con
trol the channel" at that point. This
the pilots say Is not the real object of
the workt and furthermore, it will have a,
bad effect on the channel.
"The intention," says Captain Harry
Emkon, "is not to control the channel,
but to provide more seining grounds for
the fishing companies. The dyke is six
feet above low-water mark now, and If It
Is raised It will, of course, give more
ground for seining purposes. The cannery
Interests are back of this move, nnd they
want to use the Government's money for
their own benefit. That's bad enough In
itself, but when It comes to spoiling the
ship channel It is time to call a halt. If
that dyke Is raised it will divert tho
current and wash away Martin'a Island
and In that way fill up the channel below
1L Some steps ought to be taken to pre
vent any change in the dyke."
Only Passengers on the Gatzert.
When the Regulator steamer Bailey
Gatzert resumes her run to The Dalles
she will carry only passengers, leaving the
freight to be handled by the other boats
of the line. The entire lower deck of the
Gatzert will be supplied with chairs and
will be used as a smoking and lounglng
room. New guards have been built on the
boat, and oil burners are now being put
In. Some changes are to be made to the
engines and the whole steamer will be
painted outside and In. The Gatzert will
bo ready for service by May 1, but may
not resume her trips until after high
water.
More Evidence of Lamorna's Fate.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., April 12.
A somewhat unusual verification of the
belief that the British ship Lamorna was
dashed to pieces on the western rocky
shores of Vancouver Island during the
fierce gales of March is presented in. the
fact that all the fish caught by the neigh
boring Indians for food contain wheat
when cleaned. As the vessel was laden
with that commodity, even the most confi
dent are losing hope.

continuance of work on the Jetty at the

appropriated has been expended, but it
proved inadequate to construct the Jetty
either to the height or length contem
plated in the original project of the Gov

the steamer's cargo Is now being trans
ferred to lighters. The extent of the
damage of the Colon cannot be determined
at present.
The Colon was built In 1S72 at Chester,

Seattle Discredits the Story.
SEATTLE, April 12. The Barbara
Hernster Is a schooner with auxiliary
gasoline power. She sailed from here April
1, equipped for a whaling trip to Behring
Sea and the Arctic. Her route was given
out as being to Dutch Harbor, thence
across to the Siberian Coast and thence
to the Arctic to spend the Summer whal
ing. The story that her mission Is to
take 51,000.000 worth of furs and Ivory
from a cache Is discredited here by friends
of the Northwestern Commercial Com
pany. Freight Business Doubled.
The rate war between the steamers Vos
burg and Sue H. Elmore has been the
means of doubling the freight business
between this city and Tillamook. The
freight rate is now down to $2.50 a ton.
S. Elmore & Co. say they will cut It to
nothing, and the Vosburg people declare
they will not be outdone. Freight for the
Vosburg Is carried from this city by the
Lurline, while the Hassalo takes care of
that routed by the Elmore.

were Rev. E. M. Bliss, Rev, A. Esson,
Bruce Wolvcrton, F. L. Poesen and Rev.
Ray Palmer. Mr. Wolverton read the
Scripture and Rev. Mr. Bliss delivered the
prayer. The young women's quartet from
Sunnyside rendered several selections ac
ceptably, calling out much applause. After
remarks by Mr. Paget, Rev. Ray Palmer
was Introduced, who spoke eloquently on
"The Secn Altars of Local Option,"
which he described as the Bible. patriot
Ism, liberty, humanity, economy, reason
and hope.
Following the address. Rev. Mr. Sni
der, who Is speaking for local option,
made some vigorous remarks urging per
sonal work. I. H. Amos then explained
that the plan of campaign was to hold
seven more public meetings on Tuesday
evenings at different places, these to be
announced, under the auspices of the al
liance, to promote local option sentiment.
Membership papers were circulated in the
audience, and a number signed.
Biliousness, dizziness, nausea, headache
are relieved by small doses of Carter's
Little Liver Pills.
OLD POLKS TESTIFY
VINOL WORTH $1000 TO A. J.
BAKER.
The Aged, and All Sons and Daugh
ters of Aged People in Portland
Should Be interested.
Mr. A. J. Baker, of 713 Locust street.
Evansville, Ind., writes: "I believe there
is no other medicine equal to Vinol for
elderly people. I would not take $1000
for the good it has done me. It makes
strength for tho aged as no other medicine
seems to do, and Invigorates tho whole
system. Vinol was first recommended to
me for a bad cough, which I could not
seem to get rid of. Vinol not only cured
my cough, but It made me strong and
well, and I entnusaistlcally Indorse
Vinol."
Woodard, Clarke & Co., our well-known
druggists, when interviewed In regard to
this matter, said: "We have never sold
In our store such a wonderful vltalizer
and strength-maker for the aged as Vinol;
it is Nature's remedy for the sick, the
weak and the aged.
"Vinol owes its virtue and great medi
cinal power to the fact that it contains
in a highly concentrated form all the
active curative properties of cod liver oil,
without a drop of the nauseating grease
A. J. BAKER.
which characterizes old-fashioned cod liv
er oil and emulsions.
"Vinol acts first upon the stomach, ton
ing It up, and enabling It to obtain from
the food eaten the elements needed for
rich, red blood, healthy body material
and sound, steady nerves. In this way It
repairs worn tissues, checks the natural
decline of the aged and neer falls to re
place weakness with strength.
"In the strongest manner we unhesi
tatingly Indorse and guarantee Vinol to
increase the appetite, cure stomach
troubles, give strength and renewed vital
ity to the aged, build up the run down,
tired and debilitated, make the weak
strong, cure chronic coughs, colds and
build up the convalescent, or we will re
turn to the purchaser every dollar paid
for It." Woodard, Clarke & Co., drug
gists. This seemed a strong statement for re
liable druggists to make, and we think
every person in Portland ought to take
advantage of their offer: as, of course,
they have a very wide knowledge of med
icines, and what they will, or will not
accomplish. Editor.

A Siqn
of poor blood circulation is shortness of
breath after walking, going up stairs,
sweeping, singing, excitement, anger,
fright, etc. Poor blood circulation means
a sick heart, and a sick heart Is a result
of weak and Impoverished nerves.

blood circulation, but everybody does not

ment Is Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.

" My baby was about six weeks old
when the top of her head became cov
ered with thick scales, which would
peel and come ofT, taking the hair with
it. It would soon form again and bo as
bad as before. I tried several things
and then went to the doctor. He said
it was Eczema, and prescribed an oint
ment, which did not do any good. A
friend spoke of Cutlcura Soap. I tried
It and read on the wrapper about Cutl
cura Ointment as a remedy for Eczema,
I bought a box and washed her head In
warm water and Cutlcura Soap and
gently combed the scales off. Thoy did
not come back and her h&Ir grew out
fine and thick. She la now a year and
a half old and has no trace of Eczema."
