Six Hundred Warriors Are Ready to
Carry Out the Orders of Chair
man Boise and the County
Central Committee.
Fully armed to slay the Democratic foe,
a bunch of some GOO -warriors has leaped
into the tray. The bunch Is armed and
disciplined by the Republican County Cen
tral Committee, of which Whitney L.
Boise is chairman and drillmaster.
This organization Is the most perfect
ever attempted in Portland. It Is destined
to be permanent, and to be the bulwark
of the Mitchell power in this county. It
will work according to a well-planned and
well-oiled system. At Its head will sit the
chairman of the county committee. Con
sorted with him will be his cabinet, which
Is now composed of 15 dignitaries. Under
them will rank colonels of wards, then
captains of precincts and finally lieuten
ants In the precincts. To the ten wards
in the city and the 83 precincts of the
county Is thus attached a big array of
potentates more than COO in all.
Barracks have been established In most
of the wards. In tributary precincts
workers will there center their allegiance
and refresh their zeal. In several of the
wards frame 'buildings have been put up
for that purpose. There the ward leader
will command his precinct workers. If
voters are to be "seen" the workers will
"see" them. If a particular precinct Is a
hotbed of the enemy they will invade it.
Thus the organization's power will ram
ify into every precinct. Every voter will
be under surveillance, and his political
affinities will be known. Wherever the
enemy would make a secret attach, the
organization will at once be "put wise"
by Its feelers. Whenever the organiza
tion would learn popular sentiment on
any question it will be informed by Its
agents In all tne wards and in every pre
cinct. From the precinct captain, reports will
rn tr. fho ward leader, and by him will be
transmitted to the general headquarters.
This will enable petty precinct business
to be transacted in its own ward without
fretting the central committee as has
been the custom in the past.
It will be seen that an extensive polit
ical Kystem will be set up. Unlike similar
works in the past, it will be permanent
and according to Mr. Boise's plan will
keep in trim een when nothing Is doing
in politics. The old method of directing a
campaign through an ephemeral central
committee was wasteful and poor in effi
ciency compared with the new.
Such compact organizations are main
tained in Eastern cities, say promoters of
the plan, and Portland has become large
enough to support one also. "Do not go
out of business when a campaign is over,"
they say. "Stay on the ground and be
ever ready to fight. Remember that after
the pending election will come a city elec
tion one year later."
The organization was formally launched
upon its career Wednesday night, when
the men who constitute its working parts
met in Turn Halle, They were harangued
as to their individual duties and sent
upon their mission by Chairman Boise.
Democratic Rally.
A young men's Democratic rally was
held last evening at Blanck's Hall, at
East Thirteenth and Powell streets. The
speakers were John T. Morgan. John Et
Lathrop, John Manning, Fred Holman
and John Lamont. B. E. Haney presided.

UNREGISTERED MAY YET VOTE
Affidavit of Six Freeholders Will Per
mit Voters to Qualify.
F. C. Baker, chairman of tho Repub
lican State Central Committee, Is en
deavoring to bring out unregistered voters
to the polls. Several thousand electors In
the state neglected to register. They can
all vote by presenting to the election
judges an affidavit signed by six free
holders, as evidence of their qualification
to exercise the suffrage. A freeholder
under the meaning of tne law may be de
fined as a householder or any person hav
ing a fixed legal residence.
"The one issue before Republican vot
ers," says Mr. Baker, "Is whether they
shall avail themselves of the opportunity
to cast their ballots in support of Pres
ident Roosevelt. Would they waste that
opportunity? I say for them, no. Then
lot every mother's son of tnem go to the
polls and vote. If unregistered, he will
flud friends and notaries on hand to help
him vote. It will take only a few min
utes, and cost little or no effort. There
will be no difficulty about It whatever, for
in country precincts voters all know each
otner and can testify to one another's
qualifications to vote. The law will shut
out nobody; that isn't its purpose. The
only thing that will do so is negligence
the voter's own negligence."
Mr. Baker suggests that each precinct
oomm'tteeman acquaint the voters of his
precinct with the law, and that he be at
the polls on election day," ready to secure
tho roxiulred freeholders.
"That is very important," says Mr. Ba
ker. "If Republicans are earnest in their
desire to make the report of the first
gun in the Presidential campaign heard
all over the United States, they will vote,
whether registered or not. It will be
taken as evidence of Republican weak
ness if Oregon falls to elect Judge Moore,
for example, our nominee for Supreme
Judge, by a larger majority than Judge
Bean received two years ago."
A number of counties registered fewer
voters this year than two years ago. Mr.
Baker estimates that the following coun
ties have fallen behind in their registra
tion: Harney 75; Josephine. 106. Klamath,
211: Lake, 99; Lincoln. 145; Marlon. 232;
Tillamook. 15S; Wasco. 31; Yamhill, 450.
"But," says he, "I don't believe our
Democratic brethren, who say the shrink
age comes from Republican apathy. In
my opinion. Democrats are relatively
more derelict than our folKS, for tney
don't see that their votes will count for
anything." -
REPUBLICANS TO RALLY.
Speakers Will Address Meetings in
City and County.
More than a dozen big Republican rallies
will be held In tliis county between now
and election day. The Republican County
Central Committee has made out a sched
ule which will keep Democrats on the run
all the time. TrouU.ale will be stirred to
night by a lively meeting. A four-horse
tally-ho will convey speaksr and others
from Portland, and they will scatter a big
noise en route. The schedule of rallies as
thus far made out is as follows:
Troutdale. May 27. George W. Stapleton
and Dan J. Malarkey.
Holbrook, May 2S, Frank Motter and
John F. Logan.
SunnyiJde. May 2S, Hunter's Hall, J. M.

Fremont street and north of East Gllsan
street and the Sandy road.
Linnton, June 1, J. P. Kavanaugh.
Seventh Ward. Blanck's Hall, June 2.

This ward lies south of Hawthorne ave
.nuc. Sixth Ward, Terwllllger Park, June 3,
If low rates to the Lewis and Clark
Fair in '05 are to be Secured from the
railroads, the latter must .be given the
assurance that they will be protected from
the ticket scalper. The representatives
of the roads are anxious to make a rate
to the Fair that will bring an attendance
such as the Northwest has not seen
In a long time, but they will be un
able to do so unless the state takes
some steps to prevent their suffering loss
from the scalping of the special rate
tickets.
A conference to determine what step3
will have to be taken to secure this pro
tection was held In the office of Gen
eral Passenger Agent A. L. Craig, of
the O. R. & N. It was held behind
closed doors and nothing of the proceed
ings will be made public until a later
time. Those in conference are the mem
bers of the Northwestern Traffic Asso
ciation. They considered means of se
curing proper protection against scalpers
and will probably make an appeal to
the state and city for a legal guarantee
that no scalping of the special rate tickets
will be permitted. If this assurance is
given, the roads will make a rate to
the Fair that is unusually low, It Is
said.
Those In attendance were: A. D. Charl
ton, assistant general passenger agent of
the Northern Pacific; W. E. Coman, gen
eral passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific Oregon lines; S. G. Yerkes, gen
eral Western passenger gaent of the
Great Northern, and A. L. Craig, gen
eral passenger agent of the O. R. & N.
E. J. Coyle, assistant general passen
ger agent of the Canadian Pacific, was
also to have been present, but failed to
reach the city.
Will Improve Service to North Beach.
Superintendent D. B. Smith of the I.
R. & N. road from Ilwaco to North Long
Beach was in the city yesterday arrang
ing for the Summer excursions to that
resort. He announced that the train
service will be greatly improved this
Summer and extra inducements will be
held out to the pleasure-seeking public
He stated that the cars in use on the
road had been greatly improved, to make
them more comfortable, and there will
be six trains daily to the resort. The
beach, Mr. Smith says. Is in splendid
shape and It should prove one of the
most popular resorts on the Northwest
coast this Summer. A number of cot
tages are already occupied and many
Improvements .ave being made to add
to the attractiveness of the resort.
Plans are being laid for some auto
mobile races on the beach as one of
the attractions of the season.

Mr. Lee Paget's Distinction.
PORTLAND. Or.. May 26. (To the
Editor.) Referring to your "personal
mention" In today's paper and for your
own information, and in response to your
claim that I am unknown publicly In any
other connection than my "hobby of pro
hibition," allow me to say: I am today
treasurer of the Board of Trade of this
city, the treasurer of Taylor-Street
Church and superintendent of Its large
Sunday school, having held both these
offices for several years.
I have served two terms as the presi
dent of the Oregon State Poultry Asso
ciation, which is engaged in a work you
have recently been warmly advocating, and
I am now its treasurer. I have served two
Jerms as treasurer of the Oregon State
Sunday School Association, and am today
president of the Multnomah County Sun
day School Association. Yes, sir, I have
even sat by your side as a delegate In
a Republican state convention and have
to plead guilty to having once been
president of a Republican ward club In
this city. With this personal statement
I believe you will recognize that I am
the victim of a slight Injustice and that
I have actually been heard of outside
of the somewhat narrow limits of tho
Prohibition party. B. LEE PAGET.
