CAND DATES
AGAINST
Hearst and Jerome Both Pro
fess to Desire Purified
Democracy.
BOTH DETEST TAMMANY
Hearst Candidate or Independence
League and Does Xot Expect
Tammany's Support Jerome
Wants to Kill Corruption.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. William Ran
dolph Hearst said today, when asked,
whether he would accept the nomination
lor Governor from the Democratic con
vention: "I will be a candidate of the Inde
pendence League, If I run. but I certainly
etiall not object to the Democrats or
others voting for me."
"What do you think of the candidacy
of Mr. Jerome for the office of Governor
of New York?" he was asked.
"I think Jerome Is doing what he is
told to ao by the representatives of the
Interests which contributed to bis last
campaign fund and to which he is under
obligation." was the reply.
Aim to Obscure Issue.
"The object of the men who control
. Jerome Is to create a diversion so that
there will not be a crystallization of
public sentiment as to the real Issue.
The real issue, as I see it. is politics
without boss control through corrupt
forces. The question is whether the peo
ple shall control polities' independent of
the dictation .of corporations coming
through criminel bosses.
"It seems to me that Mr. Jerome's
course shows plainly that he is more
nnxlous to'satipt'y the bosses than he is
to serve the people.. I think his candi
dacy Is Insincere, as well as somewhat
foolish."
"Do you think It possible that Mr.
Jerome will be nominated for Governor
by the Democrats?"
"If Messers. Ryan and Belmont control
the convention. I consider It not only
possible but probable that Mr. Jerome
will be the Democratic nominee."
Scorns Tammany Support.
Mr. Hearst was then asked concerning
the statements of C. F. Murphy, leaiter
of Tan many Hall, to the effect that Mr.
Murphy was supporting him.
"I do not believe Murphy Is support
ing mc now." said-Mr. Hearst, "nor do
I believe that he would support me at
any critical point. It has amused me
greatly wher. ruch men as Murphy, Mc
C'anen and Pulltvan have come out as
mv supporters. They have not meant
what they said. There have been many
ptories as to my alleged affiliations with
Murphy, but I have denied them pub
licly. "The object of these bosses In saying
that they were supporting me has baen.
I believe, to affect primary voting and
to confuse men who are really on my'
side. The primary principle of the In
dependence, League, of which . I am a
inenibe.-, has been the destruction of
bo.-Kes and rossism, anrl I cann-U ire
how such men as Murphy can really be
out for my support. It is aiso true that
when a man goes after the scalp of
another he does not often get the sup
port of the pursued."
Xo Coolness With Bryan.
"Is there any truth in the report, Mr.
Hearst, tnat there Is a coolness between
you and Mr. Bryan, because of the fact
that you may be a Presidential candi
date In 1!0S?"
Mr. Hearst laughed. "Not the slightest
truth." he said. "The secret of my atti
tude toward the Bryan reception can be
explained very simply," continued Mr.
Hearst. "I am a member of the Inde
pendence league, which represents both
Democrats "and Republicans. I felt that
officially I should take no part In this
Bryan matter. I felt that It might not
be proper to take official action which
would ally the league with the Bryan
movement.
"I will say, however, that I Intend to
pay a visit to Mr. Bryan In my private
capacity, and also to attend the meeting.
I will do so on the ground that I am a
free American, who can do as he pleases.
"As to the story that there Is a cool
ness between myself and Mr. Bryan. I
will pay there is none, unless Mr. Bryan
lias changed his mind since he left for
Burope. I will go further and say that
he sent me a letter of congratulation on
my run for the Mayoralty and, if there
Is a coolness It has begun since the date
of that letter."
All Depends on Tammany.
John H. Stanchfield. who was the
Democratic candidate for Governor In
1900. declared today that Hearst would
be nominated by the Buffalo convention
If the New York delegation should be
for him. "New York County .will hold
the balance of power in the state convention,"-
he said. "If New York Is for
Hearst, the convention will undoubtedly
nominate him. But if New York is
against him, it Is equally certain, in my
opinion, that the convention will choose
another candidate."
DOES XOT UNDERSTAND HEARST
Jerome Wants Democratic Nomina
tion to Drive Out Corruption.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. In reply to the
remarks of W. R. Hearst, District Attor
ney William Travers Jerome tonight gave
out a statement In which he said in part:
"The situation shows the need of a.
fight, because the mechanism of the
party has fallen Into the hands of men
that nobody can trust and that a decent
man cannot deal with on common
ground."
Referring to a statement attributed to
Mr. Hearst that he would run only as the
nominee of the Independence League, Mr.
Jerome said:
"I don't understand exactly what Mr.
Hearst means by that. He doesn't tell us
whether the Independence League aims
to become a state pa ty or whether it ia
Only a movement In the Democratic party
to purify that party. It can hardly be the
latter, when Hearst says that he can't
go to see Bryan as the candidate of the
league, because the league is composed of
Democrats and Republicans, and that he
. could only see Mr. Bryan In his personal
capacity. The logic of that, to my mind.
Is that the league aims to become an in
dependent state party. If this be true,
how can the Demoeratlo delegates who
are pledged to vote for Mr. Hearst at
the Buffalo convention cast their votes
for the candidate of that other party?"
Governor Without -Strings.
Asked if he were going to make any
fight for control at the coming primar
ies. Mr. Jerome replied:
"No. I will not. I am opposed to thn
Democratic organization in the City of
New York; in fact. 1 have always been
fighting it, as I believe it was organized
tor corrupt purposes. I did not seek to
get in this fight, only there were prin
ciples involved and no one else would (
stann ror tnem. rne success or my ugm
would mean that I would not be a Demo
cratic Governor, but simply Governor,
and I would not use the powers of that
office to build up .the Democratic organ
ization or to depress the Republicans.
What He Told Hill.
"I told Governor Hill in 1904 that. If I
were ever Governor, I would use the pres
tige such a victory would give me I say
victory not simply as the candidate of a
party, but a victory without strings to it
so that we could look for a great strong
militant Democracy in this state, held to
gether by principles, not by peanut pat
ronage or petty dole."
"Wouldn't a victory sflch as you desire
be as valuable without the regular party
stamp on It?"' Mr. Jerome was asked.
"No. I don't think so, for I don't be
lieve that for many years It will be pos
sible to work our system of politics with
out parties. There is a relation of state
parties to National parties which I think
would not make this possible, even if de
lrable. The important thing is the driv
ing out of the party of those who have
got control of the organization. We of
the Democratic party have not had since
Cleveland's time a Democrat who was the
real choice of the party."

GLOVE FACTS!
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ 'EM
The best Kid Glove that
comes to this country and
goes to the wearer at $2.00 is
the '"Monarch." It is made
for us by the best glove
maker in Europe, and is bet
ter than any other "best
$2.50 glove on the market."
"We know, because for years
we've sold other makes that
are most widely known by
name and heralded in advertisingsold-
thousands of
pairs each year. And, one
after another, we discontinued the sale of this and that
make a bold thing to do! But we knew! We pin our
faith to the "Monarch," at $2.00; the "Eskay" at $1.50,
and the. "Magnet" the best dollar kid glove on earth.
All these gloves are imported direct by us from their
makers. No Portland store sells as many kid gloves
as we do no other buys its leading lines direct as we do.

DIES OF HEART FAILURE
Passenger on Steamer Roanoke Suc
cumbs as Vessel Leaves Astoria.
As the steamer Roanoke was pulling
out of Astoria about midnight Monday
on her way to this city, William J. Pil
cher, a hotel man of San Francisco,
dropped dead on deck from heart failure.
He was accompanied by his wife and
three daughters, and was on his -way to
this city, after an absence of several
years. He had gone ashore at Astoria
and walked up town, and arrived back
at the steamer apparently tn good health
and had gone to his cabin, but when the
voyage up the river was commenced he
desired to view the scenery by moon
light, and had Just stepped on deck with
his family when stricken with the fatal
attack. He died instantly, and the body
was taken in charge by Coroner Finley
on the arrival of the vessel. No inquest
will be held, as the death was plainly
due to heart failure. The funeral will be
held today or tomorrow, although the
exact elate had not been set last evening,
owing to the desire to notify several rela
tives and friends in this city.
The Roanoke brought a full cargo of
passengers and freight, most of the lat
ter being discharged yesterday, and the
work of loading her for the return trip
will be commenced today. She is sched
uled to sail on the return trip tomorrow
evening.

the number of inspectors' labels used will
be more than doubled. Already the Agri
cultural Department has contracted to
supply 10,(XX for the month of September
and after the law becomes effective this
number will be increased to 15.000.
The tag is about one and one-quarter
inches square. It is a thin sheet of gela
tine with a few threads running on it.
There is printed in blue letter a legend
like this:
United States. Inspected passed 207."
The number at the bottom is that of
the abattoir inspector, who simply slaps
the little tag on a piece of meat and
the heat and moisture of tfte freshly
killed meat makes It stick. In a short
time, the gelatine dissolves, the linen
threads rub off and there Is left nothing
but the print of those blue letters in
the meat. It cannot be removed, except
by cutting. It is absolutely harmless.

Planning an Immense Dam.
DENVER. Aug. 28. Papers have been
filed with the State Engineer of Colo
rado which have for their purpose the re
demption of nearly 1.000,000 acres of arid
lands, the largest Irrigation proposition
that has ever been undertaken by pri
vate capital. Frank J. Macarthy, a civil
engineer of Denver, is now drafting plans
to build a reservoir that will cover 24
square miles, have an average depth of
35 feet, and use the entire surplus water
of the Platte River. Heretofore, It has
been estimated that 3S.11S.000.000 cubic
feet of water was wasted yearly In the
Platte River, water which if properly di
verted and used on land adjoining would
Irrigate 1.000,000 acres of land and would
support '100,000 people.
This proposition is being financed by a
syndicate of New York and London bank
ers. Engineer Macarthy estimates that
the reservoir and dam will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000,000.
