THE . MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1904. II LA VOTES Spokane Republicans Fight Turner Hard. WILL MAKE CLOSE FINISH Democrats Are Attempting to Line Up Liquor Interests. WHISKY MEN ARE TRIFLE SHY Democratic Nominee Will Probably Have a Total Majority In Eastern Washington .of 6000 Votes Not Enough to Win. SPOKANE, Wash.. Oct. 22. (Staff Cor respondence.) The vote of any candidate Xor a high political office In hls-own town and county can never be accurately esti mated on a strict party line basis.- No matter how strone party lines may be drawn, personal friendship can always be relied on to pull In a few votes which otherwise would stay with fhe party where they belonged. This fact has added to the already long list of features of un known strength which have entered into the present campaign in this state. Turner is popular at home, not alone in the aristocratic social circle in which he moves, buf among all classes. This popu larity will gain for him a few Eepubllcan "votes -which no Democratic candidate out side of Spokane county could get. It is also deceiving some of these friends as to the position he holds in the minds of the voters elsewhere. Turner, the citizen and friend in Spokane, becomes merely Turner the Democratic politician to the great mass of voters elsewhere in the state. The enthusiasm of his managers In this county has caused them to feel quite optimistic regarding the, result in other 'counties. The registration in this county shows about 15,000 votes.. Republicans concede that Turner will carry the county by 250 to 1000 votes. Democrats claim that he will carry it by from 1500 to 3000 votes. The best that I can figure out of the complex situation is a compromise be tween the maximum Republican conces sion and the minimum Democratic claim, which would place It around 1250. This re sult Is, of course, susceptible to change if the expectations of the respective leaders are realized. Labor Arrayed Against Liquor. The Republicans are making a vigor ous effort to line up the labor vote against Turner, and it is not proving a difficult matter. The Democrats are countering on this move with an attempt to solidify the liquor vote. Mead is not strong with the liquor men, but as yet there are no outward signs of anything like a concerted move against him. "Whisky and gambling received some pretty hard Jolts at thelast "Washington Legislature, and no matter what their de sires may be in -the matter, the -liquor men realize that If they should come out open ly and fight Mead and fall to defeat him he and his friends might make matters very unpleasant for them. The Democratic defection from Turner strength on account of his frequent changes in politics is less pronounced In Spokane than it is in "Whitman county. 'Exclusive of the uncertain labor vote he -will probably lose riot to exceed 300 Demo cratic votes, which is about the same as he will lose in "Whitman, although the vote here is three tiroes as large as it is in "Whitman county. Practically all of Turner's majority in the county will be se cured in the city, for the Republicans are very sanguine that their polls showing an even break outside of the city are correct. Good Weather Win Aid Mead. As a matter of fact, the weather may iiave quite- a favorable effect for Mead in the country precincts, not only in this county, but in all of the east side coun ties. The Republican candidate Is -going to make a good run In ifll of the cities and most of the larger towns, but the majority against him will come from the country precincts. If the weather Is good the farmers will turn out a full vote, but if it is bad not all of them will turn out to go any great distance to their poll ing places. Aside from the liquor and labor elements, which- are unknown quantities In the fight, there is also an uncertainty as to the number of votes that will be deflected by the antl-rallroad issue. Spokane has been at war with the railroads at Intervals since she was Incorporated. Her leading paper, the Review, has never been at peace with them, and throughout this campaign nothing Jhat could be preached, printed, written, read or sung against them has been overlooked. A large number of the business men had a lively row with the roads over freight rates last Spring, and while they eecured most of the concessions demand ed, the affair seemed to have left a bad taste in their mouths, for most of their commercial travelers are working for Turner with the full approval of their Re publican employers. Eyes on Head of Ticket. In this county, as elsewhere on the Bast Side, but little attention Is paid to any of the rest of the candidates on the tlckot. They and their friends, of course, are look ing after their individual Interests, but nine men out of 10 interrogated as to the result of the election will quickly reply elfhf r that Turner will win or Mead will win. but there is no such readiness to express an opinion on the result, as it af fects the remainder of the ticket. This does not necessarily convey the Impres sion that there Is a lack of faith regard ing the outcome as to the rest of the ticket, but serves to show how practically everything else has been In a measure lost sight of in the fierce fight that is being made for and against the heads of the respective tickets. In this county the Democrats claim they will secure moro than half of the Legislative ticket Some Republicans say there will not be a Democrat elected on the Legislative ticket, but others more conservative predict success for two -or three of the Democrats. Lincoln, the big county lying west, of 6pokane, -will give a larger majority ia proportion to the number of votes polled than the Democratic candidate will se cure in any other county this side of the mountains. This Democratic strength cannot all be traced to the present fight against Mead, for Lincoln has for many years had the habit of sending a Demo cratic member to the Legislature, and much of the Republicanism of the county is rather lukewarm. M. EL Hay; of "Wilbur, who was one of Governor McBride's strongest supporters in the Big Bend, is making a valiant fight for the Republican ticket, but he tirred up so much ante-convention love for Mc- Bride In the county that a good many of the Republicans will follow the exam ple cf the Illustrious McBride and remain- sulking: in their tents, or, like warburton, openly knife the ticket. It is hnquestionable, however,, that the situation from a Republican standpoint is being materially improved by the loyalty of some of McBride's strongest lieutenants on the entire East Side. Hay, of Lincoln; Field, of Chelan; Peaslee, "of Asotin"; Crow, Lund and Lindsley, of Spokane, and a number of others who stayed "with the McBride regime to the last ditch arc creating a sentiment that is highly valu able to Mr: Mead and the rest of the state ticket. .Maloney, Artist in Hot Air. Next to Lincoln, Spokane and "Whitman Counties the Democrats are expecting most substantial aid from Stevens County. Martin Maloney, who hypnotized "William E. Curtis, the Eastern newspaper man, into believing that even Roosevelt did not have much more than a fighting chance in "Washington, has been doing the Sven gall act with a good many Spokane Demo crats, and they accordingly have Stevens County in the Turner column with ma jorities ranging from 800 to 1000. The Re publicans, -on the mother hand, state that when. Martin awakes he will find these fig ures shrunk to about 100, and some of them are of the opinion that Mead will carry the county. As a "hot air" artist Martin Maloney has a fame as wide as the .state and somewhat longer, and his sonorous voice is heard throughout the Colville Country painting in blackest hues word pictures showing the distress that has been caused by Republican rule and no passes over the Spokane Falls & Northern. In Other Counties. The. McBride teachings never sank very deep in the hearts of the voters of Ferry, Okonogan and Chelan Counties, and al most the full party strength will be polled there for Mead. This Is not conceded by the Democrats, but I think will be veri fied by the returns. In Garfield and Co lumbia Counties both candidates seem to have an even show. Asotin will give mead a small majority. Adams is slightly in Turner's favor at this time, and honors are easy In Franklin. The leaders of both parties are throw ing out mysterious hints as to some strong cards which they are keeping up their sleeves, and so intense is the fight that it is not Improbable that eleventh-hour roor backs and sensations may . make radical changes fn the result. If the election were held next Monday Instead of two weeks, hence I think Turner would go out of the East Side with about 6000 majority. "West Side Republicans whom I have encoun tered in the past week state that tnis ng ure will leave him about 5000 or 6000 votes shy of an election. E. "W. "W. GUESTS OP BERKELEY MEN.

The neld-day yesterday was not decisive in many respects and it required a con sultation today to see which men had earned the right to represent California at the Lewis and Clark Fair next year. Those already practically settTed upon are Glarner, Cope. Dole and Miller. There will be others to add to this list later in the season, but these men are certain of a tryout Glarner is a young Frenchmen new in California, and was the greatest all-round athlete in France last year. He won three events yesterday, but his specialty Is the quarter-mile dash. Cope was chosen for his sprinting. He is a Stanford freshman. Dole, the world's greatest polevaulter. with ease valuted 11 feet yesterday, and his selection is unanimous. Miller is a Stanford student and Is the crack mile runner of the Coast. He was In poor condition yesterday, but won any way. Plaw, the hammer-thrower, will certain ly be a member of the team. He will ap pear at the next tryouts. It is now planned to send Ralph Rose, the world's champion shotputter, as a member of the California team, If ho can be Induced to go. Farmers' Turn Is Next. SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 23. (Special.)

This was hardly what Manager Butler had hoped for, but It's better than the locals have been doing for some weeks, so the cry of hard luck Is a faint wall, not from Butler, but from his friends. Without waiting for prelimin aries, the Seals hooked their flippers into Baron Jacob Thielman's curves for two blngles. These were made by Hildebrand and Meany,,and when Beck failed to trap Holland's return of Irwin's balloon as cension, which was caught in rlghtfield, both Hildebrand and Meany hopped across the rubber. With these two, big, juicy runs star ing them In the face, the locals wen after the Bay City phocidae, very dizzy and wobbly In their infield Opposed to Thlelman was Wheeler, and he had the goods on the Orphans until Thlelman himself, broke It up in the seventh round Up to this point the game looked all over like another dose of hen-coop var nish, for In the third stanza Spencer's error started trouble. He failed to han dle Wheeler's wallop with clean hands and the fat Seal pitcher flew to perch No. 1. Hildebrand flew out to Holland and Meany's single scored both runs. This made It 4-0. and then Thlelman sud denly' woke -up to the fact that If the brakes were to be put on he must do It himself. He did. and the run-getting for the visitors ceased until the sun got in Davis' eyes -in the ninth and he let Wheeler again reach third on an error. Wheeler came home under double wraps when Hildebrand. dropped a two-bagger Into rightfleld. If it hadn't been for "Slats" Davis and his nonsense on the coaching lines tho game would have been as solemn as a Chinese funeral. What really enlivened the game and made it worth sitting through was Davis startling feat. His first hit came yesterday afternoon. It was a two-bagger, and Davis has Andy Anderson and his kind friends to thank for the blngle. The fact he did make a hit was almost as great a surnrlse to Slats as It was to the fans present, and the capers that Davis cut up after he. with a tremendous struggle, managed to reach second, were notable. What also cheered everybody was the fact that a shut-out was about to be averted. Jake Thlelman himself turned the trick. He was the only member of "the Orphans that could hit Wheeler hard. His rip ping .two-bagger, on which Davis scored, was the second during the game. Jako himself scored a few minutes later. In the ninth Jake got me and spored on a single (Holland s single;, out just as they were getting dangerous Waldron and An derson pulled off a double play that end ed matters with a snap. The seventh inning, the one in which the Orpnans did their scoring, was the one real live Inning of the game. Three dinky hits were scratched off Thlelman right in a- row. Spencer and Steelman nailed Shea at the plate. That made one down. Then Beck handled Irwin's soak quick enough to kill off Wheeler at tho plate. and Steelman In turn -whipped the ball to Davis in time to morgue Irwin at first. It was one of those plnVpaft-poff plays that makes a faunday crowd happy The week -of baseball which closed yes terday has shown umpire Tom Brown to be In fine form. The 4ast time Brcfwn was here he gave somo wretched decis Ions, but his work during- the past week has been up to standard. His judgment, taking It all In all, has been better thl3 time than at any time he has appeared on the local grounds. The score: PORTLAND. AB. It. II. P.O. A. E.

Indoor Baseball Season Begins. .Before the outdoor variety of baseball has finished Its season, indoor ball begins. As usual this year six companies of in fantry and the battery at tho Armory will play a series of games, and the Y. M. C A. and the Multnomah Club will also have teams. So far only the Armory has taken up the sport and one or two nines have been practicing for several weeks. The first games of their schedule will come In November, as1 soon as the new gas globes In the drill hall are cov ered with h. netting which will protect them from the ball. They are taking a .wl&e move this year at the Armory In cutting out the tfrbtesting of games. Last year that was a nuisance and caused Ill feeling among the" players. It Is under stood that the athletic committee will be more careful In the matter of umpires, etc., and prevent trouble by forestalling it BRITTf HAS LONGER REACH. Measurements of Two Men -Soon to Fight in California. Measurements of Jimmy Brltt and Joe Gans. who- are to battle for the light weight championship on the night of Oc tober 31, have Just been taken, and they disclose some interesting facts. Both, men are the same height 5 feet 6 inches. Loqtf fight followers who have seen both men In action will be under the impres sion that Gans has the longer reach, and they will be surprised to learn that Brltt has it over his dusky opponent by 3 inches. This will be a great advantage for the white boxer, but right here his advantages end. Gans has a., chest meas urement of 3$4 inches larger than Brltt, and Joe Is thicker through the girdle by an inch and a half. It will be also seen that Gans has better arms and nn- derpinnmg man tne uaiirornian. Britt's measurements are as follows: L GAXS.

Situation Is Mixed Princeton De feated by Annapolis, Which Makes Tie With Dickinson. i There has been a mighty fall among the Big Three football teams of the East, and Harvard has come out best. Prince ton was defeated a week ago by the Navy. At the same time Harvard could only score on the Army by a place kick, and Saturday Yale was completely out played in the finer points of the game and walloped by the Army also. The last victory was unprecedented. Oddly enough after outdoing the fasi Princeton players. Annapolis en Saturday only succeeded I In playing a scoreless game with Dick inson, which "West Point won from two weeks ago by IS to 0. The situation is mixed and calls for an explanation. It Is startling that-Princeton should be classed lower than Dick inson, which was a ready victim to "West Point. Stranger still that the heavy Yale line, perhaps, the best that Ell town ever turned out, should not hold off the ca dets, who barely have time to practice the .game. It is to be remembered also that Harvard, though victor, was out played by West Point. Last night there was great, rejoicing at Vancouver Barracks among the "West Pointers. No wonder, for the Army never did so "well before. Too much weight should not be given to these Army and Navy victories, how ever. It is to be noticed that since Prince ton went under there Is not much hot air from New Jersey, but the coaching staff has received some new marrow In its bones of late, and when Princeton next appears in public there will be a change for the better. It is Just as likely as not that the proud Elis who succumbed in their growing stage to "West Point, will go down before Princeton, too. Harvard's hopes have sprung out of the state of. dumps they were verging on. till now the odds must be on the crimson, an unwonted condition at any stage of the season. Yale's massive line could not stop "West Point; Harvard has received new life from that fact. For Harvard felt weak after the way the Army halves hammered through Its- tackles, but Yale Is worse than weak, a remediable fault with a large squad; It 13 clumsy. Both the Army touchdowns were made by quickness. . Hill made the first score on a blocked punt He should never have got through Yale's line. In the second half Yale was fighting hard on "West Point's 12-yard line, when a fumble into the hands of Torney gave an opportun ity for a long run., The Army was using Princeton tactics and the final outcome of the 'season may well see Princeton victor over Yale. Har vard Is shown now to be really about eoual to Yale. The latter is a little bet ter on llne-plunglng. It made 45 yards for a touchdown by straight bucking, but Harvard is more mobile for a heavy team and a little Princeton cleverness injected Into its play, will floor Yale. There will be Intense mourning all over the land by the Ells, but there will be some "Savage talk by Yale coaches to the players, and Yale will buck up so that there will be little chance of" anopponent crossing the blue line again unless it be Princeton or Harvard. OREGON THE.MQRE SCIENTIFIC Dick Smith Is Teaching His Team to Play Clean Football. Dick Smith Is doing with Oregon what he did with Columbia he Is teaching it the science of football. His light team did so well against the Jieavler California eleven Saturday that, though-defeated by sheer crushing weight, it elicited the praise of the grandstand. California worked hard to win and was only a little the better, for It was pressed to Icore once in each half of the game. Oregon had the advan tage in kicking and tackling and In all the more scientific points. From the Berkeley game it can be told that Oregon has this year one of the best elevens that has ever been turned out in this state. It must be remembered also that Cor vallls has a team to be reckoned with this year and that a Thanksgiving game Is scheduled ior Oregon with Multnomah here in Portland. If Dick Smith continues to develop his team as he has'ao far, this will be the great game of the Northwest this year. It Is seldom that Oregon has any advantage over Multnomah, and It cannot be said yet that It has this year, but It 13 a long month off. before Thanks giving and that time Is worth much more to a college eleven than a club team of old players. Nothing has,been heard from Seattle of late, and It is to" be hoped that the Uni versity of "Washington is bucking up. As it i3 now there are three football teams In the state of Oregon that could waljpp Washington off the face of the earth, but there would be no satisfaction in that Moreover. California has at last accepted "Washington's challenge for a game to be' played in Seattle. California accepted the long-since extended invitation immediate ly after the news was abroad that the Oregon Agrlculturaf College had defeated Washlngion so Badly. It was not. a very tactful moment. Hcquiam Wins Fast Game. HOQUIAM,. Wash.. Oct 23. (Special.) Hoquiam defeated Aberdeen in the first annual game, of the season today by a score of 6 to 0. It was the hard-es,t-f ought game ever played here, the score being made after 16 minutes of play in the second half: Hoquiam heid the ball, the majority of the first half and when on Aberdeen's 35-yard Una tried for a field goal, hut the klckwent wild. In the second half Hoquiam kicked off td Aberdeen who could not make yardage, and was forced to kick on their 40-yard line, which was blocked. Hoquiam carried the ball to Aberdeen's one-yard line and lost it on downs. Aberdeen formed to kick, but It was blocked by "Wilson, Hoqulam's guard. , Hall, Hoqulam's left tackle, fell on the ball behind the line. Glrard kicked a goal. Hall, Purdy, King, Shaw arid Glrard played a brilliant game. Aber deen used all her substitutes, six men being1 Injured. KIser Races With Time. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.
