THU MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1904. 5 CLANGYS DEFY LAW Disgraceful Scenes at Seattle Republican Primaries. JUDGES SIT ON BALLOT-BOXES Police Protection to Challengers of Little Avail Against Notorious Bosses In the First Ward Two Sets of Returns. SEATTLE, Wash., April 2S. (Special.) Not even the presence of the police, or dered by the Chief to protect challengers In the First "Ward, could prevent the election judges from carrying: out the Clancy programme today. As a result protests are being prepared and contests will bo filed against at least three of the Beven precinct delegations of the ward. In the third precinct of the First Ward the election Judges refused to receive ballots for more than five hours. The Judges Insisted that no challengers could be permitted Inside the room where vot ing was carried on. The police, acting under the orders of the Chief, who had secured legal advice, Insisted that each (action was entitled to one challenger, and prepared to protect tho challengers If necessary. Less than an hour after the polls opened the judges had turned the ballot-box over and sat on it until 7:40 o'clock this evening, when it was opened egaln for 20 minutes. In the meantime the voters present elected new primary officials and another ballot-box was opened in the same room under police protection. Two sets of re turns were made tonight for the county committee. In the second precinct 2C affidavits have been prepared for seamen and officers on vessels which Ho at docks in the precinct who wero refused a vote. These affidavits are to be signed before the men's boats leave In the morning. The Pacific Coast Company, which registered its steamship employes in this and other water front precincts, is behind the contests. The Clancys, on the face of the regular re turns, won the precinct by 17 votes. In the fourth precinct, after the police Jiad given the challengers protection, the primary officials demanded of anti-Clancy voters an affidavit from a freeholder that they were entitled to a vote. This Is a lodging-house and saloon district, where euch affidavits could not be provided. Ir regularities on which contests may be based are reported from the fifth pre cinct. The First "Ward complications affect two Legislative districts, the County At torney and Sheriff's fights. The Piles committee will support the contesting delegations from sympathy with Legislat ive candidates. J. H. Dawes, who car ried the Fourth Ward, might be defeated for tho Legislature If the contesting dele gations from the First Ward are not seat ed. He has, on the face of the returns, Just half the entire vote of the district James Weir, with whom Dawes Is allied, carried one of the two First Ward pre cincts the Clancys lost The Clancys lost the sixth by a bare majority. Bitter personal and factional fights oc curred all over the city and in a few country precincts during the primaries. Outside the First Ward tho only precinct in which the Pacific Coast Company clashed with rival political Interests was the third precinct of the Fourth Ward. There the right of seamen to register from a vessel or pier was questioned, but the Pacific Coast Company vote, insuffi cient to carry the precinct, was counted. Legislative fights were the principal ones that caused bitterness In the primary contests. There will be two or three re nominatlons In the county, but there Is a probability that Joseph Lyons will be the only city member of the last Legisla ture to be renominated. Ho was an antl McBrlde man. There Is a chance that W. H. Lewis, a McBride man, might win out in a combination with the Third Ward, though he is second in the fight in his own ward. In the country the fight over Sheriff caused the larger number of contests, in which there arose a feeling of bitter ness. From the returns received tonight there is hardly any question but that L. C. Smith, of Auburn, the candidate of State Senator J. J. Smith, John Wood ing and their friends, has carried the county by a big majority. The County Convention will be held next Tuesday. This leaves four days In which combinations can be made that would make the convention ,a programme affair. The situation can easily be worked out in that manner. CLARK GOES AGAINST M'BRIDE Railroad Men Will Be in Complete Control of Convention. VANCOUVER. Wash., April 28. (Spe cial.) The anti-McBride faction was strongly in evidence at the Clark County primaries this afternoon, and won hands down. When the County Convention meets Tuesday the McBride delegates will be outnumbered two to one by the railroad Xactlonlsts. The anti-McBride people elocted every one of the 25 delegates in Vancouver. The result means tho defeat of Superior Judge A. L. Miller for renominatlon and nomination of W. W. McCredle for the of fice; tho renominatlon of State Senator E. M. Bands is also assured. The Vancouver liquor dealers are happy because the defeat of the McBride fac tion is the downfall of Prosecuting At torney Donald McMaster, whose renom inatlon they have fought because he rig orously enforced the Sunday closing law some months ago. W. W. Sparks, who was appointed Paymaster-General of the Washington National Guard by Governor McBride some time ago, recently side stepped Into the anti-McBride ranks and it is generally understood that he expects the railroad people to give him the nom ination for Prosecuting Attorney. This has been the hottest factional fight ever waged in Clark County Republican ranks. The last convention was strongly in favor of McBride, the opposing fac tion being represented by about 40 to GO of the McBride delegates. At a late hour tonight all but ten of the smaller Clark County precincts had been heard from and a two-to-one majority was already assured the railroad faction. In Vancouver the entire delegation of 25 is anti-McBride. In North Vanucouver precinct, where W. W. McCredle held forth, 240 votes were cast and the lowest railroad nominee beat the highest Mc Bride man by a majority of 25 votes. The North Vancouver delegates will be Dan Crowley, W. W. McCredle, A. M. Blaker, C. D. Hayes, F. E. Vaughan, F. Eicben laub, Charles P. McCarty, M. R. Sparks, James Waggener, Jr., and Chat Knight. In both West and East Vancouver pre cincts the McBride faction was beaten two to one. West Vancouver will be rep resented by A. B. Eastham, B. R. Scho field, J. A. Webber, J. C. Shepard, H. A. Boardman, Jr., Frank Wilcox, Steven Preston, James Crowley and W. E. T. Mattschas. East Vancouver will be rep resented by J. R. Harvey, S. A. Reed, James Padden, Milton Evans, J. P. Sta pleton and W. W. Sparks. The latest reports received at Vancouvor tonight were: Harney, 4 McBride and 2 nnti-McBride; Lincoln, 3 anti-McBride: La Center, 2 McBride and 3 anti-McBride; Tacolt, 2 anti-McBride; Battle Ground, 1 anti-McBride and 2 McBride; Fourth Plain, 3 anti-McBride and 1 McBride; La Camas, 4 anti-McBride and 2 McBride; Mill Plain, 6 McBride; Fruit Valley, 6 McBride. Among those prominent in the McBride ranks have been Mayor L. B. Clough, of Vancouver, ex-Receiver of the Vancouver Land Office, who was required, some time ago, to step aside to make room for A. J. Cook, a prominent railroad and Ankeny man, for the Receivership. Postmaster Lloyd Du Bols, who, contrary to expec tation, has not been deposed for either Amos F. Shaw or Dan Crowley, has also been an enthusiastic supporter and lent the entire support of his weekly paper, the Vancouver Independent, for McBrlde's renominatlon. Attorney W. H. Metcalf, F. W. Bier and John H. Elwell have also been ardent supporters of McBride. Among the leaders of the rallroad-An-keny faction of the Clark County Repub lican party is State Senator E. M. Rands, who is said to desire renominatlon and is regarded as a shrewd and astute politi cian and a man of considerable influence in the upper house of the Legislature. At torney W. W. McCredle is said to be slated for the nomination for Superior Judge of Clark, Skamania, Klickitat and Cowlitz Counties and as he has been a shining light in the anti-McBride coterie he will very likely receive the nomination. W. W. Sparks, who was appointed Paymaster-General of the Washington Na tional Guard, by Governor McBride, has until very recently been regarded as a strong McBride supporter, but he recently wandered into the railroad ranks and climbed into the Ankeny bandwagon and Americans,. But -They Didn't Tote. is said to have quite a following for tho nomination for Prosecuting Attorney. Among other prominent railroad work ers have been ex-Mayor A. B. Eastham, H. L. Boardman, secretary and manager of the Vancouver waterworks; ex-Alderman J. A. Weber, Councllmen E. R. Scho field and John Harrington, a prominent re tired capitalist. Attorney J. P. Stapleton, said to be an aspirant for Legislative hon ors, has taken an active part in tho rail road campaign. A third faction, lead by Dan Crowley and Frank E. Vaughan and supposed to occupy middle ground, caused considera ble doubt until yesterday, when it was understood that it was secretly favorable to the success of the railroad faction. The defeat of the McBride faction will very likely result In the failure of certain coun ty officials to secure renominatlon, and among them is Auditor A. Burnham, who Is said to be marked for defeat in favor of Dan Crowley. The liquor dealers throughout the city are said to have sided with the railroad faction largely because Prosecuting At torney Donald McMaster has stood with the McBride faction and has been a can didate for renominatlon In case of the success of the anti-railroad movement. The Vancouver Liquor Dealers' Associa tion has been out with a long knife for McMaster's scalp because he has been more or less vigilant In closing up gam bling and enforcing the Sunday saloon closing law. However, In this connection, it may be well to remark that no effort has been made to enforce the Sunday saloon-closing law for several months previous to yester day's election. Turner Indorsed for Vice-President. WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 2S. (Speclal.) Walla Walla County Demo cratic Convention today commended the sorvlces, but did not indorse the candi dacy of W. R.

As the day approaches for the expiration of the agreement between the United Railways and the Carmen's Union, the hope of a strike being averted is dwindling away. Late today Arthur Holland, president of the United Railways, Issued a statement In reply to a request for further consider ation of the demands made by the men. The statement says: "After earnest consideration, the board of directors directs me to state that the final agreement submitted to you April 21 Included every concession this company can make and retain the control of its business and enable it to perform its du ties to the public" The executive committee of the union considered the statement of the company tonight and will prepare a brief reply. The members of the union will probably be called on to vote tomorrow or Satur day on the question of striking. NORTHWEST DEAD. George W. Perkins. DAYTON, Or., April 28. (Special.) George W.

"We observe that a preacher " never calls a man brother who is not a member of his church. "Washington Democrats HIGH HONOR PAID HIM (Continued from First Pape.) I which ho has presided over Its delibera tions, and for the sturdy common sense and genial good humor which have been displayed by him, and which have in duced the members of the Houso itself, in a degree almost unprecedented, in imi tation of him, to display the same ster ling American characteristics In their de liberations and mutual dealings." Williams Pays Speaker Tribute. Williams, following the reading, which was punctuated with general applause, said it was a great thing to be Speaker of the House of Commons of the Ameri can Republic, but it was a greater thing not to permit promotion to that place, one of the most exalted in the world, to turn one's head in the slightest degree, or to deflect ono from the course hitherto pursued, of being a plain American citi zen, with extraordinary common sense and a remarkable fund of that most char acteristic of all American qualities genial humor. This utterance provoked great applause from both sides of the House and the gal leries. Williams convulsed the House by referring to a conversation he once had WORKERS AND SPECTATORS AT THE VANCOUVER PRIMARY BATTLE W. W. Sparks, "Who Suddenly nickered Out of tho McBride Told. with tho Speaker, In the course of which ho said: "I will always think that you are fair, as I believe vou will be." Tho Speaker, he said, replied: "John, 1 am going to be as fair as I can consist ently with the exigencies of American politics." Williams said the Speaker did himself an Injustice when he put that limitation on his statement, "but," said Williams, "it was characteristic of the frankness and candor of the man to put in the 11m. itatlon." , He then moved the adoption of tho reso lution, and that a committee be appointed to bring the Speaker In. There was an other outburst of aplause. The resolution was unanimously adopted on a rising vote. Richardson then selected Payne (N. Y.), Hemenway (Ind.) and Williams (Miss.) to escort the Speaker into the hall. In a few moments, the committee escorted the Speaker down the center aisle, and pan demonium reigned. Democrats and Re publicans alike shrieked and applauded, the occupants of the galleries joining. When the Speaker had mounted the ros trum, Williams, standing by Cannon's side, read him the resolution which had been adopted. The Speaker was visibly affected, and as he began to address the Houso h'e barely spoke above a whisper. However, he soon recovered his compos ure, and, speaking In a distinct voice, said: "I would be less than human if I did not voice my thanks to the members of the House for the kindly resolution adopt ed unanimously by the House. It touches me more than I can express. For almost 30 years I have been a member of this body for good or 111. I have seen many Congresses begin and close, and during that service I have been proud and the pride has Increased from one Congress to another to be a member of this body that Don't Wait to Register Till the Last Day. Register today or tomorrow. Why wait until the last day and force yourself to stand in lino for an hour? Every citizen should have pride enough and patriotism enough to qualify himself to vote in June and November. He cannot vote unless he Is registered. The books close May 16 and WILL not be opened again this year. If you want to vote for Roosevelt or his opponent, REGISTER NOW! represents directly SO.000,000 people compe tent for self-government, and from time to time assist in the voicing of the will of the people. It goes without saying that in a Republic all men do not agree as to proper policies, but tho majority and mi nority, after due consideration from tlmo to time, have -written the will of the peo ple upon the statute books. "In the nature of things, the contests on the hustings and in the hall of the1 House are spirited and earnest. I would be less than human did I not say that while for the time being I co-operated with the majority, after all the minority has a function to perform almost equal in Importance to the function of the ma jority, and It is a matter of gratification, not only to me now, at the close of this second session of the Fifty-eighth Con gress, but as I recollect, at the close of the various Congresses of which I have been a member, that when the heat of contest has died away, there ever remains respect on each side for tho other for the efforts of Intelligent, patriotic, brave men who represent their constituents accord ing to their respective Judgments. "May this continue, and it will continue as long as the Republic lasts. After all, when wo as Representatives 'strut and fret a brief hour on this stage,' we can say both to the majority and minority, 'It is well done for the endurance, tho pros perity and glory of the Republic. I wish each member of this House a safe Journey to his home; good health until the next session of Congress, when, after having come In touch with the people he repre sents, he Is ready for a renewal of his work in the public interest. "There remains i nothing to do but, in pursuance of the concurrent resolution of the House and Senate, to declare the sec ond session of the Fifty-eighth Congress adjourned without day." Will Be Long Remembered. The ovation to the Speaker, as he brought down his gavel exactly at 2:10 o'clock, will be long remembered as one of the greatest demonstrations of regard ever .witnessed in the House of Repre sentatives. As one man tho Representatives arose and sang "America," the occupants of the galleries Joining in. Speaker Cannon took a position near the lobby door on the Republican side, and the members filed past and bade him good-bye, all the while singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow," with a refrain, "So Say We, All of Us," to the tune of America," closing with "God Bo With Tou Till We Meet Again."
