16 THE MOBNING OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1905. THEY ILL NOT SUPPORT AIM Prohibitionists Refuse to Ally Themselves With -His Men. PUT UP" STRAIGHT TICKET Declare' That; His Hcfcrcnce to 'Ie gaily Iiegitlmate" Saloons Bars All Hope of a Fusion With Them. ; Prohibitionists announce that they -will not make affinity -with H. R. Albee, be cause he has failed "to declare "war on saloons and has proclaimed that "legally legitimate" saloons have "rights" and should have a "square deal," and because he Is a candidate for a Republican nomi nation, from -what Prohibitionists call a "whisky" party. Consequently Prohibitionists will refuse to Indorse Albee, though at one time they had promised to do so, and will hold a convention perhaps one week from next Saturday to nominate a man of their own breed to lead the 500 voters who, they say, belong to their faith In the City of Portland. Said F. McKercher yesterday, one of the big men of the Prohibition party: "We don't see anything to do save nominate a complete Prohibition party ticket and hold our own sideshow as usual." Albee's managers, including members of the Municipal Association and the Anti-Saloon League and reformers gen erally, have been using persuasion on the Prohibition leaders, all to no avail, for the latter refuse to be placated by any explanation of Albee's remark on the "legally legitimate" saloon unless he shall take back the words that offend them. Albee is very careful to have "legally" prefixed to "legitimate," meaning, there by, that he Is not opposed to the saloon that conducts Itself decently In obedience to the law. But the Prohibitionists can not see that a saloon can be "legitimate" by any manner of means and aver that "legally legitimate" Is simply a vain phrase. At a meeting of the Albee Club last night Mr. Albee prefixed "legitimate" with "legally," saying that the latter word had been omitted in the newspaper inter xiew at which the prohibitionists have taken offense and that he had, therefore, been incorrectly quoted. In the inter view, however, he was represented as saying that the liquor traffic within bounds of decency was a legitimate bus iness. In commenting on the Interview two days later he said he had been fairly and faithfully quoted. Prohibitionists declare that Albee's com ing out as a candidate for the Republican nomination removes all possibility of their allying themselves with him for they can not support a man who is a candidate of the Republican party an organization in the service of demon rum. Suoh was the opinion from the Hps yes terday of B. Lee Paget and F. McKercher, foremost of the cold-water hosts. At one time bell wethers of the Pro hibition flock had agreed to line up for Albee as an Independent candidate. Ef forts to renew the agreement have failed, though mighty 'Prohibitionists say they wish their political consciences would let them iog along the political road with him. The convention of the Prohibitionists will be a mass meeting to which all the faithful will be summoned. labor. The liquor machine, he said. would be a strong antagonist. Mr. Howell announced that In no event would he become an independent candidate. GliAFKE CLUB IS BOOMING Kearly Eight Hundred Panics Aro on Membership Roll. When the Glafke membership roll waa footed up last night it was found that 7E6 business men had put their shoulders to the wheels of that candidate's car. Con sequently President McGuire announced that by next Saturday night at least 2000 voters would be shoving "Business Man" Glafke Into the Mayor's chair, and that this number would be Increased by an other 2000 before the end of next week. The meeting of the Glafke Club last night was what is usually called an "overflow." since Allsky Hall was insuf ficient to hold all those who came to at tend. Herman "Wittenberg was the prlnoipal speaker of the evening, and brought out In a sharp and discerning way the salient features of the Glafke Club's campaign for Its nominee. That "grand old man." Mayor "Williams, "Mr. "Wittenberg thought, had achieved all the honors which it was possible to ob tain lh public life, and that he had reached the point where he should now retire in favor of some younger man. In addition to that, Mr. "Wittenberg expressed the be lief that Mayor "Williams candidacy for re-election was Inspired solely by a cer tain clique, which was of the opinion that their own personal purposes might be served better through Mayor Williams than through another man. "The man we want for Mayor," continued Mr. Wlt- tenbersr. "Js a business man. and I have no hesitancy In saying that that man Is 'Bill' Glafke. Of course, one thing Is cer tain, the politicians do not want him, but the citizens and business men do. and that is what is going to elect him. The great need of this city at present Is an administration that is going to In sure a good, clean, businesslike govern ment, one that will save us from anything like a Tanner-Creek sewer scandal and bulging wooden block streets." These things, and more, would, as Mr. Witten berg viewed the matter, come as a result of the election of Mr. Glafke to the May oralty. A committee, consisting of H. Witten berg, James Thompson and W. H. Chapln, was appointed to confer with other Re publican clubs for the purpose of securing the consent of the wholesale business houses of the city to close at 12 o'clock noon on the day of the primaries, and the retailers to allow their clerks and help sufficient time on the same day to vote. Edward Newbegin, E. H. Kilham and Walter Holt were appointed to act as a committee for the purpose of establishing "Glafke" night, to be held on every Tuesday evening, and to provide a hall for such meeting. It was decided, -to hold ward meetings in each ward of the city, at which Mr. Glafke and other prominent speakers would explain the platform and the course intended to be pursued by Glafke. Prac tically all persons in attendance offered themselves as precinct workers, and the various precincts of each ward will unite on a common meeting place for such ward meetings. The Second ward will lead off. and a committee, with A. W. Allen. O. J. Gross and James Roberts, as Its members. was appointed to secure a hall. N. H. Bird, E. H. Kilham, James Rob erts and R. C. Wright, the last claiming the distinction of being neither a would- be defeated nor roasted candidate, all in brief but pointed talks, urged the neces sity of hard, work by the club, but at the same timo expressed full confidence In the success of their candidate. FLOCK TO ALBEE SUPPORT George H. Howell Becomes Vice President of His Club. Albee supporters to the number of 125 collected in Allsky building last night and organized a club to work for their candidate. The meeting was full or enthusiasm and when the members adjourned they felt well satisfied with their work. Mayor Williams' administration was roundly criticised and censured not alone for Its policy as to gambling, but also for grafts by contractors and by the political machine. The chief speakers were TL Living stone, George H. Howell, S. S. Gillespie, Dr. E. L. House, Miller Munlocn, O. P. M. Jamison and Mr. Albee. Other speak ers were N. J. Blagen, O. M. Scott, John Bain, C. W. Nottingham and John Dick. The offioers elected were: C. W. xsot tlngham, president; George H. Howell, vice-president, and W. W. Morse, sec retary. Among the men present, besides those already mentioned were: J. W. Bailey, A. M. Smith, Dr. Osmon Royal, W. H. Markell, D. C. Currle, O. A. Tilton, J. S. Bradley. J. K. Gill. J. W. Bell, Charles E. Mack, S. T. Lockwooi, C P. Lindsley. W. D. Scott. J. R. James, W. F. Ed wards, W. Y. Masters, R. J. Patterson, W. O. Haines, F. A Frazier, D. A. Patullo. Mr. Livingstone made a stirring ad Uress in which he scored Mayor Wil liams for having gone into office pledged to the cause of good govern ment and for having "compromised with lawbreakers and brought disgrace to the city and humiliation to its best citizens. Never," said he. "could I con scientiously cast my vote for him for Mayor." Mr. Livingstone spoke of Albee as having "done good work in the interest of high public morality and as a candi date, who having been "faithful In a few things should be allowed opportu nity of being- faithful in greater things' and who should, therefore, be placed in the Mayor's seat. George H. Howell scathingly arraigned the city administration for what he called fallings of Chief Hunt and for grafts in public contracts, especially on Morrison street bridge, and for various other faults and abuses. He said that Albee would give the city a "straight, clean business administration" and would not be a radl cal Puritan reformer. Mr. Albee declared the money that could be derived from fines of gamblers could be saved many times over If the several branches of the city government were economically conducted. "The Mayor who sits in the City Hall,' said Mr. Albee, "and. says he doesn' know what's going on In the North End or the West End ought to learn or move . out" John Bain spoke of the necessity of In forming voters of the Issue involved In the campaign. This is a fight," he re marked, "to decide whether the good people of this community shall be in control." Mr. Jamison called for an efficient or ganlzatlon throughout the city. He men tioned various elements in the city's popu latlon that are allied for .reform in the city government, one of the most import ant of which, ho caid mas organized AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say "Dora Thorno" at Columbia.

Fall to Organize. Because of dissension among several of the Portland lumbermen, a movement to form a lumbermen's association In Oregon has proved unsuccessful, and the matter of organization may be abandoned. A meeting of prominent lumbermen from all narts of the state was held at the Hotel Portland yesterday aiternoon tor tno pur pose of organizing an Oregon associa tion, but no agreement was reacnea De- cause of the lack or representation or sev eral of the largest Portland lumber mills, There were about 35 lumbermen present at the meeting. Another meotlng will be held in Portland May 6, when It Is hoped greater Interest -will be shown. W. R. Hume, of Astoria, presided, as chairman of the meeting. E. G. Griggs, of Tacoma, and Victor H. Beckman, of Seattle, secretary of the Pa cific Coast Lumberman s Association, were in Portland yesterday for the pur pose of forming an Oregon association. For some time the Oregon lumbermen have been associated with the Washing ton organization and have attended meet ings in Seattle, but, In order to make it possible for a larger number to attend the meetings. It was thought advisable to es tablish an Oregon association. Xcbraskans Are in Line. At the meeting of the Nebraska So ciety last night, the organization voted to Join in the headquarters for state societies to be located in the Chamber of Commerce building. Major T. C. Clarkson spoke on "Contrast Between Nebraska and Oregon, Not to the Det riment of Oregon," and declared that the Exposition would be a great benefit to the state and city rather than other wise. N. C Phillips and George R. Wilbur also adressed the gathering. Miss Una Woodcock and B. Alchson aided in the programme. At 10 o'clock the Nebraska Society was visited by 50 members of the Michigan Society, and the remainder of the evening was given over to whist. Murine Eye Remedy Cure Ejea; Makes Weak Eyes Strong.
