12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 13, -1904. HO FOR CHICAGO Republican National Delegates Ready to Leave. WILL START ON WEDNESDAY Oregon's Eight" Votes Will Go for President Roosevelt and Proba bly for Senator Fairbanks as His Running Mate. Four or Ave delegates from Oregon to tho Republican National Convention will Btart Eastward from Portland' Wednesday- night They will be C. H. Carey, of Multnomah, representing the Second Congressional District; J. U. Campbell, of Clackamas, and Dr. J. M- Keene, of Jackson, representing the First Congres sional District; C. W. Hodson. of Multno mah, and S. L. Kline, of Benton, repre senting the state at large. W. B. Ayer, of Multnomah, delegate-at-large, is now t Bangor. Me., but will attend the con vention. Ira 6. Smith, of Malheur, dele-ate-at-large, and N. C. Richards, of Ba iter, from the Second Congressional Dia--trict. will travel to Chicago direct from their part of the state. The party, which will leave on "Wednesday, will Journey by the Northern Pacific to St. Paul and ithence by the Burlington. Oregon -will occupy eight seats in the National Convention, Washington 10, Idaho C, California 20, and Nevada 6. While the eight Oregon stalwarts don't expect to participate in any excitement . l J1 V,I. '411 cnicagu, nor jiaiui ctcu iu ituao mcu -voices, they think the honor of represent ing a state which polled a 23,000 Repub lican plurality will be well worth the 2000-mile journey. The convention will be a tame affair, lor all its workings will proceed by a prearranged programme from the first call to order to the adoption of the plat form and the nomination of candidates tor President and Vice-President. But the National Convention of the Democrats at St. Louis two weeks later will be a pcrap from the turn-loose. Republicans are agreed upon their candidates, while Democrats are In very deep trouble. C. H. Carey is making the arrangements for the departure Wednesday. He will probably be elected chairman of the Ore gon delegation when the members get together at Chicago, though ho has not yet signified a desire for that distinction. Roosevelt will be nominated by acclama tion for President and in all probability Senator Fairbanks for "Vice-President. To the proceedings of the convention, Oregon will assent with every one of its eight "ayes." "Otherwise," said Judge Carey, "we shall simply hear the band play, see the big men of the earth. Join in the applause and come home." To him the most likely candidate for Vlce-iPresldent is Fairbanks, who will probably get Oregon's support in case he shall be willing to accept But Repre sentative Hitt of Illinois, is in the run ning, and also John W. Springer, of Den ver. Springer's boom has lost a lot of wind, from the fact that he recently failed to be elected Mayor of Denver by 6000 votes. He wrote to tho Oregon dele gates asking for their support in the con vention, but received scant encourage- men he Oregon men get together at they will choose of their num- Srsvarious convention committees itHia state will be entitled to Ion. EARNING THE ROPES. Retiring Sheriff Helps His Successor Great Demand for Deputyshlps. Sheriff-elect Word is gradually Informing himself on the manners and customs and duties of his office. He called on Sheriff Storey after his election and they had very pleasant confab, and parted better acquainted, and with Increased esteem for each other. Storey says "Tom Is a nice fellow." He told Mr. Word to get his clerks and deputies selected and bring them to tho ofilce two weeks before his term begins, and they will be furnished with seats at the desks alongside the re tiring officials and every opportunity and facility afforded them to become acquaint ed with the routine of their duties. Mr. Storey also told Mr. Word to come to tho office at the same time and take a seat beside him, go with him everywhere and look into the whole run of the duties of ,the office. Mr. word considers this a very kind and friendly offer, for which the tendered his most heartfelt thanks. Mr. Word is not likely to nave any trouble In securing a full supply of depu ties, but will probably have to keep on his ifeet to retain any office room for himself. 'A friend who had worked hard for him asked that places for four deputies be I placed at his disposal, Mr. Word paused .for reply, and then said: "I was waiting to sec if your wind held out and expecting you to ask me to turn over my office to you." Several persons of ovcry political party labored hard to secure Mr. Word's election and it Is doubtful whether he can main tain enough deputies to give ail the friends of these workers positions. other day, told about a man be had met in Washington County who had been fighting Haines for State Senator. The man bad received a letter from Mr. Baker pleading with him to keep up bis record as a loyal Republican. The letter was effective. From the very hour he received It he was a staunch Haines man. Walter L. Tooze, of Woodburn, who was BInger Hermann.'s right-hand man In the last fight a few days ago told a similar fitory about an Influential Republican in Linn County who had gone on the war path against Cornett Republican candi date for State Representative. He had not long been out for Cornett's scalp, how ever, "when he received a message from Mr. Baker. The man never told what tho message contained, but immediately he buried the hatchet and joined the Cor nett camp. Cornett was elected by one vote. Mr. Baker did the same for Whealdon In Wasco and for Coke In Coos and Curry, nominees for State Senator. Both were elected by very narrow margins. Tho general opinion of country news papers is that a state campaign In Ore gon was never managed more ably than by Mr, Baker. CAN EASILY GET BOND. Postmaster-Elect MInto's Friends Are Many-Colonel Dunne's Message. Tho Postmaster's bond amounts to $150,000 and John Mlnto will have no dlffl culty In obtaining bondsmen. The law requires at least half of the bond to be secured by private Individuals, who must Justify in twico the amount of their lia bility. Wherever Mr. Mlnto went yesterday he was beset with congratulations. Last .Saturday It took him nearly two hours to march from the Custom-House to tho office of Frank C. Baker, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. David M. Dunne, Collector of Internal Revenue, In whose office Mr. Mlnto is now employed, is in San Francisco, but ho got news of Mr. MInto's good fortune and Immediately telegraphed tho follow ing words of felicitation: Accept ray hearty congratulations. I trust your cervices will be appreciated by the postal authorities, as they -were by me. PRAISE FOR FRANK BAKER. Republican Chairman's Able Manage ment All Over the State. Frank C Baker, chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee. Is re ceiving a great deal of commendation from members of the party all over the state for his management of the cam paign. Many newspapers are showering praises upon him for his success in draw ing back Into the party men who were inclned to desert this or that local candi date. Mr. Baker persuaded a large num ber from their prejudice, and to him Is due some measure of credit for the vic tory of Republican legislative candidates In such close counties as Wasco, Linn and C003. Mr. Baker has many friends In the state to whom he wrote appeals In the course of the campaign calling upon them to put their shoulder to the wheel. and threatening to hold them personally re sponsible should things go wrong la their county. The letters exercised a strong Jcfluence: many of tho recipients carried tkem about for days proudly exhibiting gfeem to their acquaintances. ficaator Fulton,, when in Portland the. MANNING GOE8 TO SOUND. DIstrlct-Attorney-EIecrt. Rests From Toils of Candidate. John Manning, District Attorney, has gone to Puget Sound for a respite from the toils of office-seeking and of dodging aspirants for Jobs. He will return prob ably today, and will at once be beset by the Municipal Association, which will ask him when he Intends to drive out open gambling, in fulfillment of his ante- election promise. A committee of the as sociation Is loaded and primed to fire the, question at him right straight. Reformers will encourage him to swoop down oh the Portland Club, for they hope this action would provoke retalia tion' by the proprietors of that estab lishment against North End gaming bouses, such as Fritz', Blazler's arid Erlckson's, and that the city government might bo drawn Into the . crusade. The proprietors of the Portland Club boldly declare that if Manning has regard for his North End friends, ho will leave their, places alone. They say that there can be no discrimination In favor of Manning's friends against Manning's po litical enemies. Reports have been cur rent that tho District Attorney may at least compel the Portland Club to retire to the Bad Lands of the North. End and thus satisfy reformers with at least one demonstration. But Mr. Manning is not likely to make an attack until Tom Word shall become Sheriff next month; in fact be has said as much. Though the Portland Club fought his election and dared him to do hi 4 direst he does not desire to attack the club simply to punish It for Its" boast "Manning is not vindictive," said one of his close friends yesterday. "He's got the power and the Portland Club people know it But he's not going to run amuck." P0WDEB-H0TJSES VACATED. Milwaukie Free From the Menace of Tons of High Explosives. At the last meeting of tho Milwaukie Council, Mayor William Schindler presid ing, a communication was received from the California Powder Company, announc ing that its powder-houses on the South, ern Pacific Railway, In Milwaukie, had been vacted, according to agreement with the city. The company asked that the Council return Its 52000 bond in the keep ing of Mayor Schindler, given that the company would keep its contract to move out by the 1st of June. The order was made, and Mayor Schindler was author--lzed to return the company's bond. The California Powder Company has completed Its new depositories on the Southern Pacific Railway at Clackamas, where two new brick buildings were put np. This winds up the fight between the pow der company and the peoople of Milwau kie, which was begun in 1S98, when there was supposed to have been an attempt to blow up the depositories. When It was found that the powder company could not be forced to vacate under the existing conditions, agitation for Incorporation as started by Mayor William Schindler and others, which was successful, after a long and hard fight When the town was in corporated the California Powder Com pany realized that the Council had the power to limit the amount of explosives to so small a quantity that the powder houses could not be maintained, and en tered Into an amicable agreement with Mayor Schindler to move by June, J904. VISITS V0LUNTEESS OF AMERICA Colonel and Mrs, Duncan Inspect the Local Army. Colonel and Mrs. Walter Duncan, who have tho oversight of the Volunteers of America on the Pacific Coast arrived in this city Saturday on a tour of inspec tion of the work in the Northwest They conducted a service at the local Armory, Second and Everett streets, last night Mrs. Duncan speaking on the work of the Volunteers, followed by Colonel Duncan, who gave an inspiring address to Chris tian workers. In speaking of what has been accomplished by the Volunteers, Mrs. Duncan, who is the representative of Mrs. Balllngton Booth in her prison work, said: "During the last year we have lodged in our homes 250.000 men, and have provided food for 252,000; 5760 girls have passed through our homes of mercy, and 79 children have been placed In com fortable homes by the Volunteers. Plans ore being made to open two children's homes on the Pacific Coast "Three homes are now in operation for released convicts. 3000 men havlne nassed through these Hope Halls during the last few years. Seventy-five per cent of these men ore, to the positive knowledge of the volunteers, living honest lives today. Thirty thousand poor families have been visited by the Volunteers In the interest of Christianity. The Volunteers work In conjunction with all Christian denomina tions and are steadily growing In strength ana usefulness." PALLS SIX ST0ELES. Salt Lake Elevator Boy Steps Into Empty Shaft.
