TH33 MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST II, 190
New York Sun Holds
He Lacks Conviction.
ESOPUS SPEECH TOO MUCH
Taken to Prove Candidate Has
No Political Ideas.
PLATFORM TORN TO PIECES
Great Paper. Declares Judge Lacks
Courage In Proclaiming "Hell
breath of Dishwater and Dyn
amite" Admirable.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (Special.)
The Sun will say editorially tomorrow
that it will support Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. In giving: its reason for
its attitude, the Sun will say:
"Nothing: has come from Judge Par
ker's lips or pen to Indicate he pos
sesses a single political idea marking
him as a statesman of independent in
itiative; of courage superior to the
St. Louis brand; of stature to com
mand and lead.
"As the case is now made up we pre
fer the impulsive candidate of the party
of conservatism to a mildly conservative,
temporarlzing opportunist representative
of the Hun vote in the background.
"We have more faith in the distinct prom
ises of the Chicago platform, not Ignor
ing the many serious defects of that doc
ument, than we have in the miserable
hell-breath of dishwater and dynamite
concocted at St. Louis a month ago by a
party afraid to renounce its criminal fol
lies, and tasted yesterday at Esopus by
the respectable candidate who declares
with gusto that its flavor Is admirable.
"We shall therefore advocate the election
of Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and advise
the defeat of Parker and Davis, preserv
ing our own absolute Independence of or
ganic control, and our freedom of judg
ment as to every specific question occur
ring. And may Honorable Theodore
Roosevelt's present mood continue, and if
he is elected may the discourager of pre
cipitancy stand always at his elbow."
ASSAILS VIEWS OF PARKER.
Cannon Declares Ke Is Unsound- on
the Money Question.
BURLINGTON. Vt.. Aug. 10. The Re
publican campaign was formally opened
in "Vermont this afternoon with an open
air rally in City Hall Park, with Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, the prin
cipal speaker. Congressman Charles E.
Littlefield, of Maine, and United States
Senator Redfleld Proctor and W. R.
Dillingham of "Vermont, also made
speeches.
Speaking Cannon, referring to Judge
Parker's telegram to the Democratic
Convention announcing his position on
the money question, said:
"It was Judge Parker's only chance.
He .sent that telegram because he was
between the devil and the deep sea."
He characterized a New York newspaper
as "the devil" and the' Bryan wing of
the Democratic party as "the deep sea."
"Judge Parker," said the Speaker, "had
to send that telegram to satisfy his New
York friends. If he had not done so, he
would have offended them, whereas, on
the other hand, the sending of Tt of
fended th6 Bryan wing."
Referring to candidates, Roosevelt and
Parker, Mr. Cannon said:
"Voters of the country can choose .be
tween two men, one who has stood by
the policy of the Republican party from
first to last, voting with and commend
ing all Its measures by which it has
grown to greatness and power; the other
who has been opposed to a system of
protection, who is unsound in his views
on money and who voted for "Bryan."
ODELL MEETS CORTELYOU.
Complete Understanding Is Reached
Concerning New York Campaign.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Chairman Odell,
of the Republican State Committee of
New York, spent some time today with
Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican
National Committee. It was the first
conference these gentlemen have had
since the campaign was really under
way- "
A complete understanding was reached
concerning the campaign in New York
State. Chairman Cortelyou recognizes
that the state organization has the ma
chinery for the campaign, and In New
York the Republican State Comnrittee
will manage the canvass with all the
assistance which the National Commit
tee gives. The National and State
Chairmen are in perfect accord. The
Goi'emorship was discussed briefly, but
until more definite information has been
obtained regarding the attitude of Elihu
Root, no one can say who is the probable
candidate for the Republican nomination.
Lieutenant-Governor HIgglns is promi
nently put forward.
Chairman Cortelyou will not discuss
the matter, but It Is known he does not
Chink Mr. Root will be nominated. "Vis
itors thronged the Republican headquar
ters today.
FUSE ONLY ON STATE TICKET.
Nebraska Democrats and Populists
Both Name Electors.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 11. An agree
ment looking to fusion on the state ticket
was effected early this morning by Ne
braska Democrats and Populists In their
state conventions after many hours of
conferences between committees repre
senting the two parties, and at times acri
monious debates In the separate conven
tions. "While this programme Is almost certain
to give the state to Roosevelt, at the same
time It gives the fuslonists a better chance
to elect Bryan United States Senator by
controlling the Legislature. A strong
Populist majority opposed fusion on any
basis except Democratic Indorsement of
the Watson and Tibbies electors, but this
was met by an emphatic refusal from the
Democrats and counter proposal for an
equitable division of the state officers, and
this was finally accepted. The Populists
thereupon nominated George W. Berge, of
Lincoln, for Governor.
The Democrats at 1:50 A. M. Indorsed the
nomination of Berge for Governor. The
Populists in turn nominated the following
ticket: State Auditor, J. S. Canady, of
Mlnden; State Treasurer, J. M. Osbum, of
Pawnee City; Land Commissioner, A. A.
"Worsley, Bisley; School Superintendent,
Alfred Softley, Grant.
This left the Democrats the three re
maining offices Lieutenant-Governor, Sec
retary of State and Attorney-General,
none of which had been nominated up to
2:30 A. M. .
The meeting of the Democratic conten
tion, which was called for this morning,
was delayed two hours to give the dele
gates an opportunity to hear the address
of Thomas E. Watson at the Populist con
vention, and to permit of conferences with
Populist leaders concerning fusion. After
the convention had been called to order
G. L. Loomls delivered his speech.
W. J. Bryan aroused enthusiasm In a
short address, and, after making the tem
porary organization permanent, the con
vention adjourned until 8 o'clock.
Mr. Watson, in addressing the Populist
convention, scored both the old parties
and ridiculed the Republican platform as
a cut-and-drled affair. Of the Democratic
convention ho said:
"It made its appeal to the people
through a megaphone and drafted its plat
form by telegraph."
His speech was an Indirect appeal
against fusion. Senator Allen was made
permanent chairman, and a recess taken
until evening.
On reconvening the Populists decided to
nominate Watson and Tibbies electors,
regardless of any action taken by the
Democrats. The question of fusion on the
state ticket was then taken up, and pro
voked long and at times bitter debate.
At the conclusion of the debate the mo
tion to fuse on the state ticket was adopt
ed by a vote of 418 to 220. The Populist
platform reiterates the National platform
adopted at St Louis, and pledges support
to the National candidates.
Conference at White House. -
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. President
Roosevelt had as his guests at dinner to
day Secretaries Hay and Morton, Attor
ney General Moody and Secretary Loeb.
Following the dinner there was a political
conference lasting until 11 o'clock, partic
ipated In by the members of the Cabinet
present at the dinner, and Congressman
James A. Tawney, of Minnesota,, the di
rector for the district west of Pennsyl
vania of the Speakers' Bureau of the Na
tlonal Republican Committee.
Nominated for Congress.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 10. Hugh Le
mastor, of Tecumseh, was nominated for
Congress by the Democrats and Popu
lists of the First Nebraska district today.
W. B. Price, a Democrat, who was the
leading candidate until today, was not
acceptable to the PopulIst3. He started
a Democratic weekly here a few days
ago, and some of the editorials favoring
Judge Parker did not please the Populists.
Jerry. -Simpson Out for Congress.
ROSWELL, N. M., Aug. 10. Jerry
Simpson, of this city, today formally an
nounced his candidacy on the St. Louis
platform for delegate to Congress from
New Mexico, subject to the action of the
Democratic Territorial Convention to be
held at Las Vegas August 25. Mr. Simp
son will have the unanimous support of
Eastern New Mexico, and will doubtless
be the Democratic nominee.

DISCUSS TWO PE0JECTS.
Irrigation Commissions of Oregon and
Washington Meet Today.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 10.
(Special.) A most important irrigation
meeting will be held in this city tomor
row. The commissions of Oregon and
Washington will meet in Joint session to
consider the Umatilla project in Oregon
and the Pasco or Palouse project in
Washington. Irrigation in general will
be discussed, but the Interest in partic
ular will center about the schemes which
are nearer the people of this section.
The principal business before the Wash
ington Commission will be the formula
tion of a new law to be presented to the
next Legislature governing the use and
appropriation of water for irrigation pur
poses. It is said now that the state laws
are defective, and the National Govern
ment cannot make appropriations for use
in this state until a general law is
passed. This the commission realizes,
and the defect will be remedied.
F. H. Newell, chief of the Reclamation
Service, T. A. Noble and other prominent
Government officials, are expected to be
present. From Seattle will come Harold
Preston, George F. Cottrell, Harry K.
Ownes and others. Thomas Cooper, land
agent for the Northern Pacific, will also
attend, as well as a large number of peo
ple interested in Irrigation in this sec
tion. The meeting will be "held in the
Courthouse.
