THE MORNING OREGONIAN, "FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905. 3 MAKE 5 JEROMES ELECTION SURE Republican Convention Called to Nominate Solitary Candidate. GIVES STRENGTH TO IVINS Withdrawal of Flammer Causes the Leaders to Yield to Popular De mand Jerome Winning From All Parlies. NEW YORK, Oct. 26. (Special.) With only one dissenting voice and acting un der a legal opinion rendered "by Joseph H- Choate. the executive committee oC the Republican County Committee late today decided to reconvene the New York County Convention tomorrow night In Murray Hill Lyceum, the call for the convention car-ying with It the recom mendation that William Travers Jerome be nominated for District Attorney to fill the vacancy created yesterday by the resignation of, Charles A. Flammer, who in retiring from the ticket advised his followers to vote for Mr. Jerome. The committee, which almost unani mously voted for Jerome today, opposed his nomination by 27 Votes to S when his name waa suggested for the Repub lican ticket a few weeks ago. The con ditions created by the campaign caused a change In sentiment among the Re publican leaders which culminated last night in the withdrawal of Mr. Flam mer and resulted today in the naming of Mr. Jerome for nomination by the County Convention tomorrow night. The only voice raised in opposition to the course determined upon by the execu tive committee was that of Abraham Gruter. an ApscnYbly district leader. who declared his constituents would not vote for Mr. Jerome. Jerome's Election Assured. Flamraer's retirement is due to the fact that the bulk of the Republican vote was lor Jerome anyhow, and tho party feared riioiiiniic: Apfpat- Ivlns also made it a personal matter. A few district leaders oppose Jerome and they will still work acninst him. but cannot control 5000 votes. PnilticlAim airreo " that the new de velopments practically assure Jerome's election. Every New York paper except Hearst's Is for Jerome, and this is one cause of Flammer's retirement. Os borne, the Tammany candidate, is off the stump and says he has a soro throat. but It is believed Murphy took him off because of tho breaks he made. Jerome's campaign manager, Howard Gans, claims tonight 50,000 majority for Jerome. Re publicans believe Ivlns is greatly strengthened, as he was the only candi date to fight for Jerome and Jerome's frlendyj may show gratitude at the polls. Betting is even on Jerome, three to one on McClellan. Subject of Hottest Fight. The office of District Attorney of New York City pays a salary of $15,000 a year and, while any first-class lawyer with an established practice can easily hopo to make much more than that, yet the fight for this place has promised from the first to be the most interesting in the city this Fall. Seven candidates have been making the most active kind of a fight for the position. Three of these, of course, do not real ly count. They are the nominees of the Prohibitionists. Social Labor Party and Socialists, formerly called the Social Democracy, and whoso candidate for President, Eugene V. Debs, made a sen sational race two years ago. The Prohibition vote two years ago was only 376, the Social Labor 3540 and the Social Democracy 11:318 out of a grand total of 336,091. Naturally the nominees, this year, and I confess I do not even know their names, are not se riously regarded, by themselves or anybody else. But they are fighting and talking. Analysis of the Vote. Tho vote four years ago when Jerome carried the county by 25.000, cannot be regarded seriously as a basis for com parison this year. The registration now Is only a few thousand over 1903, and that gives better data upon which to figure. In 1903 McCIellan's vote was 188,681, wiiilo Low received 132,178, a Tarn many plurality of 56,503. As the minor parties generally cast the same vote year in and year out, seldom losing or gaining, it will be seep that three can didates, -with Flcmmor out, will strug gle to obtain a plurality out of about 325.030 votes. These three candidates are James W. Osborne, Tammany; Clarence J. Shearn, Municipal Ownership Partyf and Wil liam Travers Jerome. It is tho easiest thing in the world to show by figures how anyone of this trio can be elected, but the hardest thing to be satisfied -with your own mathematics, if you know anything about politics. Tammany concedes Hearst 100,000 votes. They figure that 30,000 of these will bo Republican, and 70,000 Demo cratic, DUt expect to practically make up their loss by gaining 50,000 disgrun tied Republicans. But the Republicans who are expect ed to vote for McClellan are nearly all Jerome men, and that complicates the situation still more. Estimate of Each Party. Subsequent to Flammer's withdrawal I have seen at "different headquarters men misguided enough to figure on the vote for District Attorney, and here is how they worked it out on a basis of a vote of 325,000, before Jerome secured the Republican endorsement: Tammany estimates Osborne, 163,003 Shearn, 75.000; Flammer, 65,000; Jerome, 25,000. Total. 325,003; Republican estimate Flammer 120,- 000, Shearn 100,000, Osborne 90,000, Je rome 15.000. Total 325.000. Hearst man's estimate Shearn 150, 000, Osborne 85,000, Jerome 50,000, Flammer 40,000. Total 325,000. Jftromites' estimate Jerome -110,000, Shearn 95,000, Osborne 70,000, Flam mer 50,000. Total 325,000. You will probably notice that the totals agreed In these various esti mates, but that nothing else did. Jcromo Was Turned Down. Tho District Attorney's turn-down was bitterly resented by citizens of all shades of public, opinion. It was regarded as a peculiarly strong evi dence of Jerome's popularity that every one of the three Mayoralty can didates was eager to have him on his ticket, but -was primarily overruled by the party's bosses and leaders. Mayor McClellan made a personal appeal to Leader Murphy on the sub ject of Jerome, -who was also warmly supported hy the Sulllvans and a num ber of the Influential district leaders. They realized his strength as a vote- getter, but Murphy was angered at some brutally frank remarks about him which had been made by Jerome. William M. Ivlns had accepted tho Mayoralty Tiomlnatlon before the Re publican County Convention was held. He attended a council of the district leaders and advised them to name Jerome. In the convention the only time the delegates displayed any en thusiasm was when the District At torney's name w.s mentioned. But The District Attorney had stated that, in his opinion, Odell was a crook and a grafter, and the caucus slate was rushed through and Jerome was not bn it then. William Randolph Hearst sent Je rome an Invitation to get on the Muni cipal Ownership rubberneck wagon. Mr. Jerome declined. He stated It was for personal reasons. The Citizens' Union has been the only organized body to back Jerome, but his petition was signed by some of the leading men In the city. In cluding lawyers, bankers and business men galore. Jerome has been assured of the vote of men of every party. Republicans by the thousand have long slnoe de clared for him, and among the Demo crats on the East Side he Is particular ly strong. Issues In Jerome Campaign. He opened his campaign with a meet ing which packed Carnegie Hall and was cheered longer and louder, and In a more genuinely hearty manner than were any of the Mayoralty candidates. Chairman John G. Milburn, formerly a prominent Buffalo lawyer, and at one time seriously considered as a candidate for Governor, presided at the meeting, and made tho refreshing statement that delegates had simply become rubbor stamps to be used to register tho will of the bosses. When Jerome took the stand he attacked Odell and Murphy simultaneously, alluding to them as the "Grocer of Ncwburgh," and the "Bartender of Good Ground." He declared he was not personally Interested In the election, "it was up to the people." "I have made good," he said, "and If you do not re-elect me, the fault will be yours, not mine." Mr. Shearn, who Is Hearst's personal counsel. Is making his campaign based on a pledge that he will send McCall. Mc Curdy and all the life insurance criminals to jail If he Is elected. Jerome's fight has been on the theory that the people should re-elect a man who has "made good," and that the arbitrary desire of a party boss should not be al lowed to snuff out the light of a faithful political servant. Mr. Osborne seeks votes on a platform that Jerome Is arbitrary, unconstitutional and a firebrand. Bad Handicap Removed. Jerome was handicapped in his Inde pendent race by the fact that his name appeared all alone on the ballot, and many persons who desired to vote for him might have abandoned the effort when they got .into the booth and dis covered how difficult It was for him to be elected. Now that he Is assured of a placo on the Republican ticket, he will poll his full personal strength in addltllon to that of the party. They flim-flammed Flammer when they Induced him to run for District Attorney He probably came to realize this fully and withdrew to avoid Ingnomlnlous de feat. "He needed an undertaker not a campaign manager," declared Louis Klaproth, of Brooklyn, tonlcht. BIBLE CLASS FOR JEROME Young Rockefeller's Students Shout at Mention of Him. NEW YORK. Oct. 26.
