16 - THE 3IOHNIXG OREGOyiAy. TUESDAY, SETTE3TBER 5, 1905. I - t ' 2, LOVE FUST TIE REPU FOR BL1CANS Chairman Frank C. Baker Issues Call to the Brethren. PURPOSES OF GATHERING It Is to Bury the Hatchet and to Unite AH Party Factions by Agreeing to Forget and Forgive. FOR REPUBLICAN KECMOX. Lttr ent to members of Repub lican State Central Cemmittee by Chairman Frank C. Baker: "Th are respectfully requested to meet the ether, members of the Re p trite an State Committee In Portland. Thursday, the 12th of next month; a4 yen will p!eae invite a goodly number of representative Republicans f yr county to come and take part Mi the reunion; and should there be In your county aspirants for state or dietriet of Ace, invite them alf to be In attendance and participate." Oregon Republicans will gather in Portland October 12 from the four cor ners of the commonwealth, summoned by Frank C. Baker, chairman of the State Central Committee, for a big lovefoast, at which rival warriors will kiss ami make up, call one another brother, forget the feuds of old and yell hurrah. Such at least is Mr. Baker's plan, the Jlrst stop whereof is a "request" sent by him to eacli member of the central committee that the recipient "meet the other members" and invite "a goodly number of representative Republicans:' als "aspirants for state or county office-Central Committees, Too. The central committees of the two Congressional districts are to be In vito to the reunion, too. Walter L. Tooze. of AVoodburn, chairman of the First District, was In conference with Mr. Baker yesterday and as he emerged from the Interview he commended luMtrtily the klss-and-make-up motive of the proposed lovofeast, but said he would take further time to consider the matter. P. L. "Willis, chairman of the Second District, was a bit .sceptical, fHtooth; at least, he had not made up his mind as to the expediency of the hurrah gathering. He desired to nerch the matter to see how near the reunion would come to a convention before he should declare himself. Is Love Feast Convention? And would the lovefeast be in fact a convention? That's the sticking point. Chairman Tooze stumbled ovor It in his groping for the fact and had considerable of a debate with Chair man Baker until It was made clear to him that the gathering was to be of an informal, chatty sort, without pro gramme or order of business. Would the gathering discuss the call ing of a convention? . That was a hard question between Mr. Baker and Mr. Tooze. The latter contended that that subject should be ostracized from the reunion, while Mr. Raker assented to the wisdom thereof, hut Insisted that that subject was as legitimate as any until it should be cast out by a majority of the as sembled braves. Primary Law Interjected. "Anything that would alter or vitiate the direct primary law," quoth Mr. Tooze. "I am opposed to." "So am I." rejoined Mr. Baker eteriily. "Sch treatment of the direct pri mary law." wont on Mr. Tooze. "would be to the people like a red ratr to a bull." "There should be no organization of any Fort in the party." continued the other chairman, "until the time con templated by the law that is, until after primary law." "Now, you've got It to a dot" "And unless the other gentlemen shall bring up the subject," continued Mr. Baker. "It will not be discussed for I shall not tote it into the moot ing." "The purpose of the meeting is lofty. remarked Mr. Tooze, "and if .the gath ering can be kept within bounds. It will turn out successfully." "What bounds?" "Within those contained in the call. It makes no mention of a convention, does It?" and the district chairman searched the document anxiously. Af ter being reassured by Mr. Baker to his hoart's content, he went on: "The convention subject should be shut out of the discussions." Here Baker Demurs. To tills Mr. Baker demurred, saying that, though he opposed a convention at this time, still he believed that a resolu tion in the reunion, calling for a con vention on such and such a date, and ap portioning the delegates in such and such a manner, should-be treated according to parliamentary usage, and there the mat ter rested. Many a politician In the state, probably hlne-tenths, would like to take an ax and knock the direct primary law In the head, as it were, but neither Mr. Baker nor Mr. Tooze showed himself of that sort. Each declared that the love feast should be held only for the purpose of teach ing Republican brethren to love one an other, and not to grind anybody's political ax. nor to cast any political aspirant into outer darkness. AVant Hatchet Burled. "We want everybody to bury the .hatch et," remarked Mr. Tooze. "Republicans formed the habit of re fusing to vote for a man if he didn't belong to their own crowd,"' added Mr Baker. "And of putting a name in front of hi Republicanism." went on Mr. Tooze. WJhereupon Mr. Baker Btudled the red carnation boutonniere of Mr. Tooze, and Mr. Tooze fixed hiB gaze on the spectacles that werv perched on the end of Mr Baker's oiose. Whence came the Idea of a love feast? From Mr. Baker. He said so, and added that in making his plans he had not con sulted a ilvlng soul, except that on his way up from the beach, where he had ruminated over the subject seven weeks, he bad tarried at Astoria' to see Senator Fulton, who had approved the scheme. All Republicans "Welcome. "The meeting Is to be one of leading Republicans from all counties of the state," said Mr. Baker, "and is Intended to facilitate exchange of ideas on party policies. It is not planned to grind any body's ax or to eliminate or boom any candidate for office.' Every Republican will find the ' doors open to him. The meeting Is to be primarily of the State Central Committee. requested to invite Republicans of their respective counties. I shall invite only Republicans In Multnomah County, and everybody whom I shall Invite I shall ack to bring along his friends." State Committeemen Invited.

Dear Sir: You are a candidate for president of the Portland Ad-Men's 'League. The second semi-annual elec tion of officers will be held next Mon day evening. September 4. at 7:0 sharp. In the tower room of the Commercial Club. Be sure to be on hand at 7:40 P. M. sharp to receive congratulations. Every member of the Portland Ad Men's League received a singularly connaentiai notice from the sec retary of the association the other day, and in consequence It is estimated that tne cnesi expansion of the body as a whole broke all records from a com parative standpoint. . Those who did not get busy writing out long and patriotic reasons for declining the hon or that had been apparently thrust upon them unsolicited, devoted their spare moments In preparation of speeches of acceptance charged to such a high degree with eloquent expression that old Demosthenes would have felt like crawling back In the tall timber Indefinitely rather than run opposition to such a sure-thing game. ' It turned out to be a shrewd move on the part of the secretary to adopt this secret method of securing a full attendance, and It goes without saying that the Idea was an eminent success, nearly all the members being on hand promptly, and each saluting with un conscious dignity the rapturous ap plause that greeted his entrance. Een the clever ad men, accustomed as they are to all kinds of cunning tricks of the trade, failed to catch on to the scheme until it was too late, so care fully had the motive been concealed. The election of officers for the en suing six months resulted In the choice of H. C Whltticr. president; Eromett C Brown, first vice-president; H. S. Harcourt, second vice-president; Scott Bozorth, secretary; W. Cooper Morris, treasurer, and Rinaldo M. Hall, W. J. Hoff aan and C C Chapman as mem bers of the executive Board. The po sltion of president was offered to C J. Owen, manager of the Evening Tele gram, but his duties prohibited him from taking the place. A vote of thanks was given the re tiring officers, and Jmmediately after the election all adjourned to an im promptu banquet in honor of the oc casion. Upon the Invitation of S. w -rvia.i. lander, manager of the Oaks, the league win next -rnursaay night be the guests of the resort at the production of "Pompeii." and all hte members are expected to be on hand at 7:30 o'clock oh the night In question, at the waiting-room of the Oregon 'Water Power Company, First and Alder streets, with a view of acceptance. The committees on entertainment, membership and programme will be appointed by President Whittler, and announced at the next meeting. The matter of the proposed Initiation and ritual ceremonies -was referred to the new executive committee. The idea of adopting a facetious form of Initiation met with popular favor, and It Is be lieved the committee will report some thing at the next meeting that will be a drawing-card In the w'ay of enter tainment for everj'body except the can didate. It was also suggested to secure per manent quarters for the league Instead of depending upon the hospitality of the Commercial Club In future, and this -will likewise come up for further consideration. Tom Richardson organ ized the association exactly six months ago In a unique way, and the members feel under deep obligations to him. At the time specified he sent out SO invi tations, presumably of an Inflivi.inni character, and there was much surprise when their collective nature became known. After gathering them around triA fmrtnl hnsr.I. h. nliilitj . V. . .."H UU" Ject of the assemblage, and ever sfoce ne aaa Deen regarded as the foster father of the concern. Consequently there was some opposition to leaving the Commercial Club, which makes no charge for the use of the tower room as a meeting place, even though it was proclaimed that Independent qunrters for the league could be made attractive by various donations from the local business houses, as well as artistic dec oration by some of the clever members of the organization. There are at present about 60 mem bers of the league, and It Is dally growing-In popularity as well as prosperity'. Several new members were elected last nlitht.
