Democratic Convention Turns
Down Candidate for Tem
porary Chairman.
BELL MAY BE NOMINATED
i-
Regular AVlng of the Party Favors
Congressman for Governor and
Diggs Has Released Him,'
From All Obligations.
.SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) The first skirmish In the big
Democratic battle was fought out of the
floor of the state convention today be
tween the faction which follows W. R.
Hearst and the regular wing of the party.
Hearst was defeated, but by a smaller
margin than was anticipated.
The first blood was drawn on the con
test for temporary chairman. The
Hearstitea put up Edward White, the
brother of the late Senator - Stephen
White, who was the idol of the Cali
fornia Democracy. The regulars put for
ward Robert M. Fitzgerald. The latter
was named by a vote of 369 to 345. It
was a test vote and the split was clean.
Unless something, which cannot be
foreseen at this time, bobs up In the con
vention, Theodore Bell,- the choice of the
regulars, will be nominated for Gover
nor. Langdon, the choice of the Hearst
wing. Is making his fight in -person, but
when night settled down over the city,
he was a bad second.
Hearst's only hope lies In a split among
the regulars, and he has selected Marshal
Diggs as the wedge to split his opponents.
His plan is to force the name of Diggs
before the convention. This will divide
the regulars and may give Langdon a
chance, to slip in, but the chances tonight
are 600 to'l against the success of this
scheme. Diggs is very anxious for the
nomination, but his friends have pointed
out to him that he should withdraw in
favor of Bell, who is clearly the choice of
a majority of the regulars.
Langdon was trapped today In commit
ting himself where it was in his interest
to keep silence. He became over-eager
and took part in 6ome of the heated dis
cussions in the hotel lobbies, with the re
sult that his friends took him back to
headquarters. The convention was organ
ized today and will proceed without de
lay tomorrow to the nomination of Gov
ernor. The principal theme of conversation to
night among the delegates to the state
Democratic convention Is whether the
names of James D. Fhelan will be pre
sented tomorrow for the nomination for
Governor. .While nothing of a definite
nature Is given out by the Phelan ad
herents, George Welch, a delegate who
claims to be in communication with the
former Mayor of San Francisco, says that
Fhelan will take the nomination if it la
unanimously tendered him.
The fight for the Gubernatorial nomina
tion assumed a new phase late today
when State Senator Marshall Diggs an
nounced that he had released ex-Congressman
Theodore A. Bell from all ob
ligations, leaving the latter free to appear
before the convention as a candidate.
Diggs made this statement after a confer
ence between friends of the two men.
It is said to be the plan of the Bell
delegates to give Mr. Diggs a compli
mentary vote and at the proper time it
is believed that the State Senator will
decline the nomination and ask that .the
support of hie delegates be thrown to
Bell. It Is generally conceded that the
convention will not indorse W. H. Lang
don, the nominee of the Independence
League for Governor.
IDAHO GIRLS IN PORTLAND
PARTY FROM LEWISTON - TEL
LER SEES THE SIGHTS.
After Week at North Beach They
Return to Take In Portland and
Spend Initial Buy at Oaks.
Almost as brown as Indians, the Lewis
ton Evening Teller girls 15 of them are
now seeing all there is to see In Portland.
They are Just back from North Beach,
where they remained a week, which was
ample time for them all to acquire a rich,
dark coat of tan.
It Is not necessary to talk to them to
learn what a splendidly good time they
had, but the wonderful brightness of their
eyes, which fairly shine with enthusiasm,
tell the whole story.
And they are having just as good a time
in Portland as at North Beach. Yesterday
morning they were, taken for a ride on
Portland Heights and the new Council
Crest loop, and in the atternoon they were
fortunae enough to fall Into the hands of
Manager Frledlander. of The Oaks.
They saw The Oaks, literally speaking.
There was nothing they missed, from
whirling-the whirl and shooting the chutes
to bumping the bumps. They cut a wide
swath, and they had everybody at the
amusement park envying the fair maidens
from Idaho because of their good looks
and the good time they. had.
Last night they went to the Baker The
ater, where they saw "Because She Loved
Him So." Today It will be a case of
wake-me-early-ln-the-morn, and they will
start out bright and early from the Ore
gon Hotel. In the morning they will ride
over the city in the "Seeing Portland"
cars, and in the afternoon will be enter
tained at the Grand Theater.
The party Is In charge of Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Foresman, who have brought the
girls back to Portland from their trip to
the seaside as happy and healthy as they
can be. Mr. Foresman is editor of the
Evening Teller.
KAISER SEES SHAM FIGHT
Thirty Thousand German Troops Be
gin Battle at Dawn.
LIEGNITZ, Prussia, Sept. 11. The mili
tary maneuvers were continued today and
in the first light of the morning the for
eign observers saw from a commanding
hilltop the vast military panorama unfold
Itself over a great sweep of level coun
try. Emperor William and his guests arose
this morning at 3 o'clock. They had
breakfast on a special train and arrived
in the neighborhood of the terrain, where
the maneuvers-were being held, at half
past 4. After a gallop through the dark
ness of early morning they reached high
ground on the Blue side at dawn. Sev
eral hundred pieces of firtiUery already
were in action, shelling the Reds at a
distance of from 500 to 4000 yards. No
Reds were visible, but along the horizon
the observers could see the flashes of
their, guns in reply. Thirty thousand
Blue infantrymen, who had been march
ing since 1 o'clock in the morning, be
gan deploying on the wide stretch of
meadow and wheat fields lying below the
Blue batteries. This force debouched in
seven columns. Companies and battal
ions, availing themselves of fences, de
pressions in the rolling country, road
embankments and other natural or arti
ficial cover, advanced against the ridges
sparking with the fire of their invisible
adversaries. As the Blues advanced the
Reds retired and their cavalry was the
oretically captured. The roads for miles
behind its positions were crowded with
guns, infantry and baggage trains. At
the end of four hours of firing and pur
suit the umpires called a halt.
Emperor William's attention was called
to the fact that the Blue infantry seemed
to be greatly distressed as a result of
Its prolonged march. The eleventh di
vision covered 24 miles in full field equip
ment, which means that each man carried
55 pounds, - exclusive of . ammunition. His
Majesty personally inspected several bat
talions and talked with the men.
Instead of .remaining with the imperial
party the American officers rode widely
over the field, observing for themselves
at first hand the appearance and con
duct of all arms of service. In company
with the other foreign visitors the Amer
icans dined with the Empress tonight at
Breslau Castle. Emperor William biv
ouacked in' the field.

Mail, during the German naval man
euvers on the night of September 10, 36

the sensational feat of dashing up and
reaching the British coast, returning
without having been detected.
The nominal purpose of the raid
across the North Sea was to carry out

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 11. A tremendous
ovation was tendered W. J. Bryan by
the 12,000 people gathered in the Coli
seum tonight - when he stepped upon
the platform and took his seat. With
one accord the audience rose, waved
flags and shouted until the strains of
"America" by the band were drowned
out. Cheering continued four minutes
and was finally silenced by National
Democratic Committeeman W. A. Roth
well, who started to make a speech of
introduction. He had scarcely begun
before a clamor arose for Bryan. Mr.
Rothwell thereupon cut short his
speech and presented Mr. Bryan with
a wave of his hand.
Mr. Bryan motioned for silence with
a palm fan. He said In part:

BIG BOTTOM TO PORTLAND
Surveys Have Already Been Made by
Tacoma Eastern. :
TACOMA, Wash., Sept.' 11. (Special.)
Surveys already made or planned in
dicate that the Tacqma Eastern is
preparing to build a line to Portland
from the Big Bottom country, as well
as across the mountains to North Yak
ima. The work of the Summer has
carried the extension from Mineral to
Tilton, a distance of nine miles. From
Tilton the grade is finished to a point
about two miles south, or five miles
north of Morton. Trains are now run
ning daily, beginning yesterday, to
Tilton.
New coalmines have been opened at
Tilton and new bunkers have been
built. Surveys show clearly that -the
road's extension is planned to be built
in along the Tilton River and over the
Tilton Pass of the Cascades, to North
Yakima. Preliminary surveys, for this
line were made last year. The location
is now said to have been .made perma
nent. From the Big Bottom to Portland
is a logical extension. The line will
traverse an almost exclusive territory.
It -will run to the east of the present
beaten path now used by the Northern
Pacific, and soon to be Invaded by the
Union Pacific. It could be made im
mensely profitable.
Portland capital backs the Tacoma
Eastern. Whether the Gould or the
Northwestern systems have acquired
an interest in the road is not ascertain
able, but such an event seems extreme
ly unlikely.
Millions for Oregon Roads.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. E. H.
Harrlman and his associates, through
the local officials of the Southern Pa
cific, have set aside an additional $3,000.
000 to pay preliminary expenses for rail
road extensions In Oregon, two of which
at least will penetrate into the northern
end of this state. This ' makes a total
of $5,000,000 set aside for this purpose
during the past two years.
Most of these extensions will connect
the Shasta route as feeders and will
open up a lot of new Jobbing territory
for the merchants of San Francisco and
Portland. There is building, or will be
built, 1100. miles of new branches at a
bonded cost of over $44,000,000. v
The Western Pacific Railroad on its
line now being built between Salt Lake
and San Francisco, about a year ago,
decided to have a $4,000,000 tunnel
through Goshute Range in Eastern Ne
vada, near Flowerpas. The tunnel was
to have Ijeen 12,085 feet long. It has now
decided to reduce the length of this tun
nel to 6500 feet. It is to cost $2,000,000
and will be completed within ten months.
By its construction six miles of track
age will be cut off and grades reduced
to four-fifths of 1 per cent over the
Goshute Range.

AVhy Trust the Democracy."
I want to show you It is better to trust the
Democratic principles to the Democratic party
than to trust them to any man whom party
denounces him for following them. I want
to remind you that the most popular act of
Mr. Roosevelt's administration was his bring
ing peace between two nations. He .settled
the . coal strike after a loss of $09,000,000 to
employers, employes and the public. It was
a grand act. I applauded him tor It. But
where did he get the doctrine in the Repub
lican platform? He got It from the Demo
cratic platform, and I wrote the plank myself.
If he could gain popularity by settling one
strike that cost $90,000,000. why ought not
our party to have some credit for proposing
a plan which, if put into a law, would have
made the strike unnecessary? Why has the
Republican party not followed it up by making
a National law that will iftake it unnecessary
for a man to starve his wife and chlidrea to
set Justice?
Where Did Roosevelt Get Mandate?
If the President can become the only pop
ular man In the Republican party because he
does something spasmodically along Demo
cratic lines, what would be the popularity of
the man Who does something and has always
been a Democrat? Where did Mr, Roosevelt
find his mandate for his action regarding the
rate bill? Ha had to go to the Democratic
platform.' ' The most important part of the
Elklns bill la the penitentiary sentence tor its
violation.
The railroads have been the most corrupting
Influence In .the past. By use of passes tbe
railroads have packed conventions. This law
was suggested by the Democratic party. I
Bhall soon have occasion to talk on railroads
again, but I want .tonight to Impress upon
you that tbe railroad resolution was the pro
duction of the Democratic party.
No Trust Magnates in Prison.
The President has now been 1n office almost
five years. How many trust magnates are
In the penitentiary? We have a great many
trusts In this country violating the law. My
friends, I ask you to figure out, on the basis
of the number of trust magnates Imprisoned
during the past five years, how many gen
erations will it take to solve the trust question?
My friends, if these things prove to you
that Democratic forethought is better than
Republican forethought, would not it be bet
ter to vote for Democrats than for those who
have followed at the tail end of the Demo
cratic firocessloa?
A reception committee, including
ex-Governors E. O. Stannard and A, M.
Dockery, National Democratic Commit
teeman Rothwell, United States Senator
Stone and many other prominent Demo
crats, greeted Mr. Bryan on ills arrival
here this morning.
A crowd was assembled at Union Sta
tion, and there was cheering when M-r.
Bryan stepped from the train. After an
Interval of general handshaking, Mr.
Bryan was escorted to the Hotel Jeffer

All Fault of Railroads.
In an extemporaneous speech deliv
ered today in Druids' Hall, Mr. Bryan
touched 'on Government ownership of
railroads, for the first time since his
address -in Madison-Square Garden.
"If there is any sentiment in the
country today favoring Government
ownership of railroads, it is because
the railroads have created the notion
that they own the Government," he
said. "Just in proportion as the rail
roads regard the rights of the people.
Just in that proportion will we get
along well together. The railroad is
the servant of the people. When it
seeks to become the master of the peo
ple, it usurps a place not rightfully
belonging to it."

Each brand is made from a separate and specially

A number of breweries make palatable beer. Their
product, however, may lack quality. . Without quality
beer is not wholesome.
Weinhard's Beer is both palatable and wholesome
as it is made with the greatest care from the best in

PANAMA, Sept. 11. (Special.) Secre
tary of State Boot has wired from Peru,
declining to accept any social entertain
ments here. He explains that he will
remain for only a few hours on. the
Isthmus, making it impossible for him
to keep engagements for festivities of
the sort he harittended at other points
during his tou about South America.
This decision is bound to cause great
disappointment. The Panama Congress
today adopted a resolution to arrange
for a series of fetes in honor of the
Secretary, but these plans must be
abandoned in case Mr. Root sticks to
his programme.
From Panama Mr. Root will- go to
Cartagena, where he will confer with
President Reyes of Colombia. President
Amador of Panama has not been in
vited to send any representative with
Mr. Root to Cartagena and the slight is
relt.
The resolution adopted today to en

Roosevelt when he visits tha Isthmus

pleasure at visiting Peru and referred to
the important commercial and economic
advantages that would come to Peru by

to be the greatest ever accorded a for

land and spend several days. John Bar

The populace is enthusiastic, the belief
being current that Secretary Root's visit
will presage the coming of entente cor
diale between Colombia and Panama,
who have been estranged since the
revolution of Panama In 1902.
