STAND BY LOU SMITH
Ultimatum Given Seattle by
Candidate Sam Piles.
ELSE KING GETS NO SENATOR
Sheriff the;Only Republican Nominee
From the-Country Slaughter of
Former Aspirants In City Re
sulted in Disorganization.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 20. (Special.)
If Seattle is to elect a United States
Senator the voters of the city must stand
by Lou Smith, Republican nominee for
Sheriff, and the only country nominee on
the Republican ticket. If the city "knifes
Smith Seattle cannot expect -the country
members of the Legislature to become
enthusiastic over the candidacy of a King
County aspirant for Senator.
This ultimatum was served on the
voters of Seattle by Sam H. Piles, who
was Indorsed by the King County Re
publican Convention for Senator. He was
speaking as a candidate for Senator and
making use of the Indorsement to empha
size his statement.
That sooner of later such an ultimatum
would be delivered wan predicted by The
Oregonian Just after the Republican
County Convention met. It was forecast
ed in an Oregonian special from Olympla
after the last Senatorial fight endea.
As a matter of fact, the political condl
tlons In King County have been working
around toward the delivery of such an ul
timatum that would put the question of
party loyalty directly before the city and
county. County politicians who have been
repeatedly turned down by the city have
wearied of the situation and will demand
support for their candidate before they
contribute help for a Seattle amDiuon.
City Defeats Former Candidates.
As The Oregonian showed a few months
ago, the last five candidates for Sheriff
have been nominated from the country
and from the south district. But one of
these candidates has been elected. All the
others have been beaten by the city
voters.
Repeatedly the city has taken all save
one or two nominations from the county
convention. In Republican politics the
south district has been overlooked repeat
edly, securing only the nomination for
Sheriff, who, as the election results have
shown, was only nominated to oe siaugn
tered In the city.
It has usually been the case that the
First "Ward has defeated the nominee for
Sheriff, other wards contributing to that
end, but in a less pronounced manner, it
is in the First "Ward that the slum vote
is herded, and while naturally Democratic
the ward has exerted Itself to turn down
ReDublican candidates for Sheriff.
Somewhat similar conditions exist this
year. The fight against Lou Smith, the
Republican nominee for Sheriff, Is being
centralized In the First "Ward. To aid In
carrying out the light Frank Clancy, of
the Clancy brothers combination, crushed
in the municipal flght and forced out of
business since, has secured temporary
control of a saloon on "Washington street,
in whch free beer, free lunch and free
lodeintr is offered the floating population.
Clancy Is leading the First "Ward attack
on Smith.
Smith Has Made Enemies.
As a result of his administration as
County Commissioner during the past six
years Smith has made a numoer 01 ene
mies and several of his official acts have
been called Into question. No dishonesty
has been charged, though it is alleged
that Smith acted unwisely in certain
transactions and showed lack of capacity.
His record for 30 years, during which
he has lived In King County, is the only
offset offered against the attacks made
by Democratic workers and the element
of Republicans eager to Knire famitn unui
the ReDublican newspapers took up
Smith's flght to the exclusion of other
county Issues and Piles declared that be
attle had to choose between a Democratlo
Sheriff and a United States Senator.
"There are nine votes In the country,"
Mr. Piles explained in a ward speech,
"and these men are looking to the City
of Seattle to see what you are going to
do with their candidate for Sheriff. Out
of all the nominations oh the county
ticket the Sheriff Is the only person not
chosen from the City of Seattle or the
town of Ballard. The people of the
country are entitled to consideration and
they demand It.
"Two years ago I believe the defeat of
John "Wooding was largely responsible
for the defeat of Harold Preston as
United States Senator. The country
stood by their candidate loyally and they
gave him a majority. He came to the
city In the lead and you defeated him.
Led by the First "Ward all the election
districts in Seattle turned against John
Wooding, for no apparent reason.
Cpuntry Members Antagonized.
""When the country members of the
Legislature went down to Olympla they
were sullen and Indifferent. Their can
dldate had been ruthlessly slaughtered In
the city and yet It was demanded of them
that they stand by a Seattle candidate for
Senator. They had no Interest in his
flght, for you had taken no interest In
their flght.
"I want you to remember that I did
not go into this Senatorial contest of my
own volition. I was asked to become a
candidate by the business Interests of
Seattle by you. I took that matter Into
consideration and after a time agreed that
I would make the flght.
"Now I want your help. I want those
men of the south district and the other
country members of the Legislature to
go down to Olympla and work for me
loyally and heartily. They are not going
to do it if the City of Seattle turns down
their candidate for Sheriff again. They
will be sullen and indifferent.
"If the people of Seattle want a Senator
they must stand by Lou Smith. You have
brought me into this flght and I expect
you to stand by him to help me. It is to
my interest to have Lou Smith elected
and I want to see the people of the hill
district break away from their alliance
with the slums against a country noml
nee."
MEAD GAINS IN COWLITZ.
Republican Factional Fight Turns
Votes to Candidate for Governor.
KALAMA, "Wash.. Oct 20. (SpeciaL)
The last two weeks has developed a great
deal of activity in political circles In
Cowlitz County. The National ticket is
not discussed at all and up to the last
few days the storm center was around the
office of Governor, and, to a less extent.
the whole Republican state ticket, but
the county ticket is now coming in for
Its share of attention and bids fair to
take precedence over all other Issues.
The factional flght in the Republican
party in 1902 is ancient history and need
only to be mentioned to be remembered.
and it is the memory 6f that fight that
ie causing the trouble now.
The spirit of retaliation Is rampant and
is being taken advantage of by the antl
Republican forces in the county and is
being worked for all It is worth. What
the result of the contest may be Is only
a guess, but to an outsider it looks as if
it will cost the Republicans at least
part of the county ticket, and at the
same time it will probably add to Mead'
majority if the trades Teported to hav
been made are carried out in good faith
at the polls." The local campaign seems
to he carried on almost exclusively by
the various candidates for county office.
each for himself, and If the Central Com
mittee of either party has a plan of
campaign for the support of the wnoie
ticket. It has been slow about announc
ing the fact.
That Mead Is Kalnimr in this county is
apparent to the observing, as Is evidenced
by the fact that some of the most out
spoken Republican bolters are now be
ginning to And fault with George Turner.
Another point in Mead's favor la this,
that the local flght now on In tne county
will have a tendency to divert soma of the
fire from the Governor's office to the local
conditions. The only plausible explana
tion of a flght at. all among Republicans
in this county this year Is that a fight of
some' kind is due in Presidential year, and
as the Democrats decline to put up a fight
for Parker, the only fight left in sight
was a fight among themselves, and while
It may be revenge Is sweet, it is liable
to cost some one the office to which he
aspires.
WHY HE WAS RETURNED.
Grounds Upon Which the Governor
Bases His Action.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.)-Not
withstanding the opinion expressed by
Judge Cleland that Frank Guglielmo
should have been kept at the State Peni
tentiary Instead of being returned to the
Multnomah County Jail pending his ap
peal. Governor Chamberlain adheres to
his view of the law. He admits that there
may be a doubt as to the intention of "the
law, but says that in advising the super
intendent of the penitentiary to send Gug
lielmo back to Multnomah County, he
gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.
The statutes prior to 1903 provided for
executions by the Sheriff, but in that year
tne legislature passed as act providing
for executions at the penitentiary. There
was already In force a section which pro
vided what course should be pursued In
case of an appeal and the granting of a
certificate of probable cause for appeal.
This section (147S), which remains un
changed. Is as follows:
"If, before the granting of the certifi
cate, the execution of the Judgment has
commenced, a further execution thereof
Is suspended and defendant must be re
stored by the officer In whose custody he
Is to his original custody."
The act of 1903 provides as follows, rela
tive to execution of the death sentence:
"When Judgment of death is pronounced
a warrant, signed by the Judge of the
court and attested by the clerk, must be
drawn and delivered to the Sheriff of the
county. It must state the conviction and
Judgment and appoint a day on which the
Judgment is to be executed, which must
not be less than 30 days from the time of
Judgment, and must direct the Sheriff to
deliver the defendant within 20 days from
the time of Judgment to the superintend
ent of the penitentiary in this state for
execution.
In the Guglielmo case the warrant of the
Circuit Judge ordered that the defendant
be delivered by the Sheriff to the super
intendent of the penitentiary for execution.
After he had been so delivered- the certifi
cate of probable cause was granted, and
Guglielmo's attorneys demanded that the
defendant be restored "to his original
custody." Governor Chamberlain exam
ined both the sections quoted and arrived
at the conclusion that In capital cases, as
In others in which a man ia brought to
the penitentiary, section 1178 Is applicable
and that upon the granting of a certificate
of probable cause the defendant should be
restored to his original custody, the Sher
iff. The Governor says he sees no reason
to change his view of the law.
Aside from the legal question involved.
the Governor was glad to have Guglielmo
taken back to the County Jail, because if
he were kept hero It would be necessary
to employ an additional guard.

train No. 3, the westbound express on the
Southern Pacific, came In collision today
with the rear end of a stock train at
Yuba Pass, near Cisco Station, in Placer
County, CaL No one was Injured, but the
accident caused .a fire which destroyed the

seriously damaging the engine of the pas

the snowsheds, which were consumed for
a distance of 2200 feet The wrecked pas

much effort the fire In the snowsheds was
gotten under control.
Shortly after the accident, R. J. Laws,
superintendent of the Sacramento division

ably with heart disease, with which ho
had been afilcted for some time. He was

FATE OF JOHN ROBINSON.
Skeleton Found Near Salem Believed
to Have Been His.
SALEM, Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) While
out on a mushroom hunt on Mlnto's Isl
and, situated In the river opposite this
city, this afternoon, a party of young
folks discovered the corner of a box pro
truding from the bank. Their curiosity
prompted them to unearth and Investigate
It, when It was found to contain the skel
eton of a man, the size of which would
indicate that the man was about six feet
tall In life. The box also contained
sponge and a small vial with the name
Stelncr Drue Comoanv blown In it.
The attention of Coroner Clough was
called to the find and upon investigation
he did not think it necessary to hold an
inquest. The size of the corpse, time
and everything connected with it leads
many to believe the remains to be those
of one John Robinson, who disappeared
from hts home here about eight years
ago, and has never been heard of. It
has always been believed that he was
murdered for his money, as his disap
pearance has always been shrouded in
mystery.

ALL READY TO SMITE
Clackamas Republicans Will
Rout Political Enemies.
L00K-F0R 1500 PLURALITY
Democrats Expect-to Be Snowed Deep
Oratory Will Be Hfard at Sat-,
urday's .Opening, Rally to Be
Held at Estacada.
OREGON-CITY, Or., Oct. 20. (Special
Correspondence.) With 1200 to 1500
Roosevelt plurality emblazoned on their
banners. Republican chieftains in
Clackamas County are getting- ready to
smite the Democratic host hip and
thish. Next Saturday afternoon they
will unleash the dogs of war at Esta
cada, where George C Brownell, of
Oregon City, and B. B. Tongue, of Hi 11s-
boro. will signalize the event with ora
tory, and perhaps Senator John. H.
Mitchell and State Chairman Frank C.
Baker with their presence.
Last June the Republican plurality
ranged between S00 and -1000 votes,
though not all the Republican candi
dates got up to those figures. Blnger
Hermann carried the county by 93,
whereas one year before he lost it by
over 200.
Democrats admit that they will he
covered up very deep but do not con
cede the claims of their adversaries. O.
Eby, chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, announced
today that his party would hold down
the Roosevelt plurality to S00 or 1000.
In the last general election, 4034 votes
were cast for Supreme Judge and two
years before, 4662. Of these 2175 were
Republican, 1199 Democratic, 424 So?
clallst and 236 Prohibition.
State Senator Brownell predicts that
the Roosevelt plurality will probably
go above 1200, and C. Scbubel, secretary
of the Republican County Central Com
mittee, names that figure- as the prob
able size of the Republican victory. Re
publican leaders say that many Demo
crats of the Bryan and the Socialistic
persuasions are out for Roosevelt, but
Democratic Chairman Eby declares that
he has yot to meet a Democrat who 13
going to repudiate the faith.
The city election, which takes place
at this place early in December, is a
matter or growing gossip. The candi
dates talked of most are J. U. Camp
bell, who was a delegate to the last
Republican National Convention; Dr. E.
A. Sommer, and Charles Albright. The
contest for Mayor will probably not be
waged on party lines; in fact such a
contest has not been held for many
years. The candidates will be nominat
ed by petition.
The rally at Estacada is expected to
bring out a largo number of people. It
will bo the first In the county this cam
paign, up to this time all the political
parties have been dormant. Political
gossips look for a total poll of about
4000 votes In the Presidential election.
CONFUSldN" FAULT OF LAW.
Marion County Clerk Will Follow In
structions to the Letter.
SALEM. Or.. Oct 20. (Special.) If tho
form of ballot In submitting the prohibi
tion question In this county results In
any confusion it will be the fault of the
local option law and not of County Clerk
Roland. Mr. Roland says he will follow
the law as he finds It. and will get the
opinion of the District Attorney upon the
form in which the prohibition question
shall be placed upon the ballot.
The view Mr. Roland has taken of the
language of the law Is the same as that
taken by Attorney-General Crawford, who
has advised County Clerks that the pro
hibition question is to be stated but once
upon each ballot. Therefore, where the
people are called upon to vote ior or
against prohibition for an entire county.
and for a subdivision of a county and
for a precinct, a man who votes In favor
of prohibition for one must vote In favor
of it for all. He cannot vote In favor of
prohibition for his precinct and against
it for the county.
I County Clerk Roland desires to place
the prohibition question upon the ballot
In such a way that the people will have
opportunity to express their views
when they mark their ballots, but he be
lieves it to be his duty to use the form
prescribed by law, and unless the District
Attorney advises him otherwise, that is
the form he will use. He submitted the
matter to the District Attorney today.
District Attorney John H. McNary said
this evening that he will render an opin
ion tomorrow morning advising Clerk
Roland to place the prohibition question
upon the ballot In only one form, and that
form the same as prescribed by section
8 of the local option law. The District
Attorney's view of the law Is, therefore,
the same as that entertained by Mr.
Roland.
While this form of ballot will not give
an opportunity for full and free expres
sion 'of opinion, Mr. McNary believes that
the terms of the local option law should
be strictly followed. Under this form of
ballot the voters in Precincts 2. S and 4
in Salem must, by a single mark, vote for
or against prohibition in the entire
county and In the district composed "of
these three precincts in which they live.
An affirmative vote for one will be an
affirmative vote for all, and a negative
vote for one will be a negative vote for
all.
MAYOR SCHMITZ MAKES THREAT
Past Lives of San Franciscans to Be
Written Up and Published.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. Mayor
bcnmitz completed and made public yes
terday his findings and report on the
Police Commissioner Drlnkhouse inquiry.
The report exonerates the Police Com
missioner from the charge of tho Cigar-
makers' Union that bo has made use of
bis official position to terrorize saloonmen
into giving him their cigar trade, through
fear of losing their licenses.
The Mayor says he finds no evidence
of Drinkhouse having made any illegiti
mate use of his official position, while
admitting that such position has undoubt
edly acted to the increase of the Com
missioner's business. This, he argues, was
only natural and to be expected, and he
suggests also that were he to grant the
request made for the removal of Drink-
water, whomever he might appoint as his
successor would undoubtedly profit in the
same way.
The Mayor's decision was long, and in
tota declared that the past lives of M.
H. De Young, proprietor of the Chronicle;
R. A. Crothers. proprietor of the Bulletin,
and Fremont Older, managing editor of
the latter paper, would be writen up and
scattered broadcast, so that the people
might know the characters of the men
who are criticising the administration in

matters.
