L MILLS Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee Urges Friends of Salem Candidate to Swing to Portland Man. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 1. (Special.) Frank C. Baker, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, has aroused the Indignation of the friends of T. B. Kay la the Oregon House of Represen tatives by trying to pull Kay's friends away from him and gain their support for A. L. Mills, the Multnomah County can didate for the Speakership. The friends of Kay do not break loose as easily as expected, but have sent Baker's letters to their favorite candidate, with an ex pression of their opinion of that kind of procedure. Their opinions are not at all compli mentary to Baker and show beyond ques tion that Kay's friends are loyal. Here Ik a letter that one of Kay's supporters received from 2dr. Baker, written on the letter-heads- of the Republican State Cea tial Committee: Portland. Or.. Dec 30. 1004. My Dear Mr : Considering It within the scope of my office as chairman of the Republican Slat Centra! Committee to make suece t oni that will conduce to the best Interest of our party. 1 respectfully Invite you to support Mr. A. U Mllli for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Mr. Mdlls Is ac counted the leading citizen of Oregon In a commercial sense, and for this and other Rood and sufficient reasons I have reached the conclusion that Darty harmony will be best subserved by his election. Bespeaking a conscientious and satisfactory administration of the important trust re posed in you and boplns fortune will smile on you and yours durinc the comlm; year. I bee to remain, sir. with perfect respect, your obedient servant, FRANK C BAKER. The member who received this partlc ular letter immediately forwarded It to Representative Kay with these words written at the bottom of It: "What do you think of this? 1 will write and tell this fellow to attend to his own business. ' Some of Kay's friends who were writ ten to by Baker say they were sent or offered transportation with which to visit Portland and consult with the Mills peo ple. Kay's friends here who have learned of the latest move are Incensed at the ac tion Baker has taken. They say that Baker was elected chairman to represent the whole Republican party and not the party in one county. They assert that It is his province .to lead in a fight against Democrats and not participate In con tests within the parti'. Kay's support ers aver that their favorite has never been prominent In any factional fight; that he has always been a loyal .Repub lican, and that there Is no reason why the head of the Republican party should co out of his way to fight him. One of the leaders of the Kuykendall Mllls movement was yesterday, quoted as saying regarding the Speakership con test: "The fellows who want appropriations and other things from the Legislature have got to stand In." This has also made the Kay men In dignant, for they take this as meaning that unless the outside counties support Mills the Multnomah delegation will vote against appropriations as well as legis lation wanted by other parts of the state. "We have not considered this a fight between Multnomah County and the rest of the state," said a supporter of Kay this afternoon. "We do not like that kind of a contest. We .believe that every appropriation and every other measure should stand or fall upon its own merits and not according to the way some mem ber of the Legislature -may have voted In the Republican caucus on organization. "We do not believe that Representative Mills would indorse any such course as suggested by the quotation, for he Is rec ognized as a man 'of honor and Integrity and would not stoop to make legislation depend upon his success. "If ilr. Kay should be elected Speaker he win aid in tne passage of reasonable, appropriations for the support of all pub lic Institutions and the state government generally, but would not give his support to vicious legislation in exchange for sup port for the Speakership." CARTER MAY GO TO CONGRESS Montana Republicans Have Majority Over All Opposition. HELENA. Mont.. Jan. L Special.) The most absorbing, topic being discussed tonight as the result of the assembling tomorrow of the Ninth Lecisiatlw As sembly is the .probable successor to Paris uiDsoo, democrat, .x-isavonax Commit teeman Thomas H. Carter, of Helena, re ceives more favorable mention than any one else and his partisans assert that when the Senatorial caucus Is held oa January 5 he will receive a practically unanimous vote. His candidacy Is vig orously opposed by the Helnze element, but as the Republicans have a majority of six in the Senate and two in the House over both the Democrats and Helnze fuslonlsts. it is a foregone con clusion that a Republican will be chosen. At the Senate caucus last night the Carter men effected without opposition the election of their slate, and a similar result obtained at the House caucus to night. In consequence of these "straws" and the further fact that Mr. Carter was made the Issue of the last campaign In Montana. It Is highly probable that he will resume his former seat In the upper branch of Congress March next. SEVEN SALOONS MUST MOVE. Prohibition Election in Douglas Coun ty Is Declared: Regular.
