VOL. XLVI.-XO. 14,301. PORTLAND, OREGON, TUESDAY. OCTOBER, 9, 1906. PRICE FIVE CENTS. ODDS M HUGHES ARE TITO ONE New York Contest May . Be Walk-Away. DEMOCRATS WIELD MACHETE Hearst and Anti-Hearst Men Carve Each Other. XJNITY AMONG REPUBLICANS Anti-Boss Candidate Nominated by Most Boss-Ridden Convention, Millie Hughes Had Roose velt With Him. NEW TORK.- Oct. 8. (Special.) They are still betting 2 to 1 that Charles E. Hughes will be the next Governor of New York State, and even at that, money Is hard to find, for the Democrats want 3 to 1. We had a lively campaign last Fall hut this one will leave it far behind. Every paper in New York City except the Dally News, and of course, the Hearst newspapers, has come out In opposition to the "friend of the people." Upstate the Rochester Morning Herald and the Rochester Union and Advertiser have led the list of Journalistic bolters. The Union and Advertiser, which was established In 1S26, has always been Democratic, but announces editorially that it "owes no allegiance to the candidates of the Demo cratic convention at Buffalo." "The situation in our camp." said a Tammany district leader today, "more accurately resembles hell on earth than it ever did before." Every Democrat's hand is raised against every other Democrat, while the lurid, unhappy wails of the Independence Leaguers, who declare they have been politically sand-bagged, prevents concen tration and meditation. One Had Leader, Other Had Boss. The Republican convention which met at Saratoga, had a leader. Theodore Roosevelt, who deservedly enjoyed the confidence of the people of New York. As a result absolute harmony prevailed, the strongest kind of a ticket was named and the delegates left Saratoga proud of what they had done. Buffalo had a boss, Charles F. Mur phy, who ruled with an ax. It was a Tammany convention from start to finish, and. the bad blood that has resulted will keep the Democratic party In a turmoil for many years to come. Bryan was a sad blow in 1896. but Bryan never split the organization half as badly as Hearst has done. No leader, not even Odell, was humili ated in the convention and everybody was happy. As a result the Republican party has never entered Into a state contest so thoroughly united and so thoroughly confi dent as It is this. Fall. Tammany Hogged Everything. The fact that Tammany "hogged" everything at the Democratic state con vention has undoubtedly hurt Hearst all .over the state. Here Is the list: Temporary Chairman, Lewis Nixon. Tammany; temporary secretary, Thomas F. Smith, Secretary of Tammany Hall. These two nominees were selected as the permanent officials. Chairman of the committee on creden tials, which threw out 60 anti-Hearst dele, gates. State Senator Thomas F. Grady, familiarly known as the "Silver-tongued orator of Tammany Hall." Chairman of the committee on resolu tions, which drew up the platform. Con gressman Bourke Cockran., whom Hearst In public speeches has called "The Honor able Bought Cockran." also Tammany. The other committee, that on permanent organization, had the unimportant duty of recommending that the temporary of ficers of the convention be made the' per manent ones. Former Senator Walter C. Burton, of Kings County, an anti-Hearst man, was allowed to perform this stunt. Tammany really does not care whether Hearst wins or not. Murphy has saved his local ticket and there his Interest ends. If the state desires to elect Hughes, why. It -Is all right: if it doesn't, well. Tammany will still be In business on Fourteenth street. Estimates of Hughes' Majority. Politicians are busily trying to figure out the result of the election, and admit that the task is involved. Here are two views of the case, as represented by men of opposing political parties. Former Sheriff Lewis Stegman of Brooklyn is regarded as one of the expert political statisticians In New York. Here are his figures: "Hearst is in rnuch the same position as was Bryan in 1S. Every Democrat who felt Impelled to vote for McKinley in that year will be found arrayed against Hearst. You will find he will confront the united opposition of the business ele ments, as did Bryan. But there are other elements of strength Bryan had which will be lost to Hearst. For ex ample, the 6talwart Bryan men of the state will have nothing to do with the man who is trying to displace their idol. They will vote against Hearst to help Bryan. I figure this will account for fully 50.000 votes. "Mayor McClellan's friends will certain ly knife Hearst, because victory for him means decapitation for the Mayor. Mc Carren In Brooklyn will help. The Queens County men are enraged at being turned out of the convention. These three causes should give another 40.000. "The vote in lSf6 in the state was: McKinley S19.S3S. Bryan, 551,369. McKin- ley's plurality 2S8.469. Take 90,000 of these Bryan votes and add them o the other side, and the Republican plurality will be 448.469." Now allow that 100.000 Republicans ha'9 been led away by the Hearst craze, and I don't believe the number is half that, you would bring down the total by 200.000, or a majority of 243.469 for Hughes, and that is about what he will get." How Hearst 3Ien Figure. Here are the Democratic figures, pre pared by Charles P. Bacon, fresh from a conference with W. J. Conners, the new chairman of the state committee: "The vote in New York City last year was: McClellan 22S.39T. Hearst 224.929, Ives 137,193. We will certainly hold the McClellan and Hearst vote, a total of A FAMOUS HEARST CARTOON. Reprinted and widely circulated In the New York campaign. New York Journal. Nov. 10. 1905. LOOK OCT, MXRPHY.

"The normal up state Republican plur ality is from 100.000 to 150.000. Mr. Hearst will cut this to practically nothing, if he does not wipe it out. So I think I am conservative In claiming 200.000 for Hearst when my figures show his majority will be considerably ' over 300,000." Of course you can figure It any old way you please, but Hughes is making a run away race of It at present. Even Hearst Boomed Hughes. Everybody is talking Hughes, and all the newspapers are prominently printing this editorial, which appeared in Mr. Hearst's New York American on Decem ber 30 last: No or. in New York State will question the excellence of the work done by the coun sel for the people, Mr. Charles E. Hughes. He has drawn from the management of the companies under Investigation admissions which have damned them In the eyes of the public. He had done perhaps everything that could be done during the time at his dlfpcsal. If there should be no extension of time Mr. Hughes can retire with the perfect certainty that his work has had the approval and aroused the commendation ot the people. HEARST ANSWERS ASSAILANTS Will Not Spend Million and Made No Promises to Bosses. NEW YORK. Oct. 8 W. R, Hearst, candidate for Governor on the Independ ence League and Democratic tickets, be gan his week's campaigning with ad dresses In Manhattan tonl.t. He dwelt at length on the attacks made upon him by the newspapers of New York City and denounced as absolutely untrue state ments affecting himself as a candidate and in his private capacity. In reply to a statement made In one of the New York papers that he would speni a million dollars in the campaign, Mr. Hearst said: That Is an utter and complete falsehood. I guarantee not to contribute more funds to my own campaign. In which I am personally Interested, than I did to the campaigns of Grover Cleveland and w. J. Bryan, in which I. was merely Interested as a Democrat. Referring to the statement that he em ployed Chinese labor on hls ranch In Cali fornia. Mr. Hearst eaid: I have never employed Chinese labor In all my life, and I do not own one foot of ground In Palermo, Cal.. either directly or indirect ly, nor is Chinese labor employed on any property that I own or partly own In Cali fornia or tn any other state In the Union. Continuing. Mr. Hearst said: Various New York papers have stated that I have made a compact with the bosses in order to secure my nomination on the Demo cratic ticket.

MOT COMPETENT TO RULE Indiana Senator Speaks on Disap pearance of Party Issues and Lodge Dwells on Control of Democracy by Radicals. BOSTON". Oct. 8 The annual dinner of the Massachusetts Republican Club was held tonight in Symphony Hall and served as a ratification meeting for Governor Curtis Guild. Jr.. and the others on the state ticket who were renominated last week. The banquet brought togther many men of prominence in public life, includ ing Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, Sena tor Lodge and Senator Crane of Massa chusetts. Mr. Lodge spoke as follows: The nominations of Mr. Hearst in New York and Mr. Moran In Massachusetts, which are Identical In character and purpose, prove be yond a doubt that the radical element in the Democratic party, which alms at class legis lation and strives to arouBe class hatred, tends also toward socialism and the destruction of private property. This element, which has been built up and fostered by Mr. Bryan in his two campaigns for the Presidency as well a by the pitiable collapse of the "aafe and sane candidate" in 1904, is now powerful enough to take possession of the Democratic organization In two great states. Menace to Nation's Welfare, The condition into which the Democratic party has thus fallen Is In Itself a menace to the welfare of the country. I am not on of those who rejoice In it, for I think it Is Just as Important that the party of opposi tion should not drive out all its conservative elements, abandon all its traditions and rtve Itself over to radicalism, violence and general indecency, as that the party In power should remain sound and wise and safe. Senator Beveridge spoke as follows! Era of Patriotic ITnity. The only question before the American vot ers in this campaign is good government. There are no issues of politics dividing the parties no conflict of principle to take the people's minds fromthe practical' jrocess of running the Government. The individual and not the party at the moment dominates our political life, and the only4 question now be fore the individual American is which party can best administer the people's business. And administration of free government Is' the noblest art of man. Everybody 1b practically agreed on the money question. Everybody Is practically agreed on recent legislation. No party struggle Is thought of against a single statute enacted by Con gress In the last five years. Everybody ap proved the pure-food law. and Democrats as well as Republicans voted for it. Everybody applauds the meat-inspection law, and Dem ocrats were as earnest as Republicans in its support. Everybody now sees the statesman ship of the irrigation law, and it was paed by Democrats as well as Republican votes. Everybody rejoiced at the enactment of the bill for free denaturized alcohol and it be came a law without party division. We are In an era of patriotic unity. Such, with all Its trials, is the triumph of free government administered by honest men. The whole peo ple are satisfied with the legislation under which the canal la being dug. and no party lines were drawn in its enactment. The enor mous majority of the American people de manded the passage of the railway rate bill, and Democrats and Republicans were practi cally unanimous when it was put on its passage. The most far-reaching law in its ultimate results since the Civil War, creating the Department of Commerce and Labor, had practically the solid support of all parties. There was no party division on the anti-rebate bill or on any law enacted for the cor rection of trust abuses. No Issue on the Tariff. There is no practical proposition by either party to which the other party is opposed with sufficient earnestness to make it an Issue. None but theorists of free trade would destroy the protective system on the one hand, and none but extremists would deny that tariff schedules must from time to time bs read justed on the other hand; and It is the safety of American institutions that extremists are always few and the moderate-minded are al ways many. There can be no tariff Issue, because the party In charge of the Govern ment will revise tariff schedules as soon as the party in opposition could possibly change them. The policy of administering just government under equal laws in the Philippines, at least until the Filipinos themselves are prepared for self-government, is admitted by both par ties: and what shall be done when the time comes is so many years away that It is not yet an issue. , The question as to whether we should have taken the inlands In the first place is so many years in the past that It Is no longer an issue. What, then, is the situation? We have a party In charge of the Government and a party in opposition an ideal condition in a situation like the present and in a Govern- :: -irw 4 t .... Secretary of State Elihu Boot, Who Will 8 peak In New York Campaign. ment like ours. My argument tonight is that the Republican party is best fitted to admin ister the people's government; that the Demo cratic party is best fitted for opposition. The Democratic party, by its habit of mind, by experience and, sines Van Buren's time, by tradition, is the natural party of opposi tion. The Republican party, by habit of mind, experience and tradition. Is the natural party cf government. The one serves the useful purpose of ! watchfulness and criticism: the other performs the Indispensable service ' of construction and advance. No party Is so good that watching will not help It; no party so bad as to deserve utter condemnation. Democrats Good at Opposition. Why Is the Democratic party best equipped for opposition? For nearly half & century the Democratic party has been out of power. During this time it was necessarily the party of protest. What law has the Democratic party written since Buchanan's time? Not one. Yes. one the Wilson-Gorman bill. What law has it not opposed up to the present ad ministration? Not one. Thus, as the Re publican party naturally drew to Itself the builders and the administrators, the Demo cratic party just as naturally drew to tself the opposite quality of mind. Those whose tendency was to point out de fects found In the Democratic party their na tural home. , And their long experience In criticism has given to" these men increased efficiency in the useful function of finding fault. Thus the Democratic party naturally became more and mors the party of opposi tion. It naturally became more and more, by the character of those whom it attracted and by the decades of ' practice, better and better equipped for opposition and worse and worse equipped for administration. It has refused for so long to agree with the (Conclude on Page 2.) STRENUOUS DAYS FOR FATHER KNICKERBOCKER f TUFT WILL HEAL ALL CUBAN SOULS Says Factional Feuds Must Be Settled Before Amnesty Can Be Granted. CIENFUEGOS IS SIMMERING Accused Murderers of Villuendas to Hare Case Dismissed Taft Com ing Home Soon Avoids Par tisan. Meeting of Liberals. HAVANA, Oct. 8. Th factional ill feeling that has existed at Clenfuegos since the Presidential campaign ot 1905 resulting in the death of Congressman Villuendas and Chief of Police Illanca, increased duriagr the recent revolution to such an extent that the return of the rebels from the flld Is causing a dang erous condition which the provlsiona.1 gov ernment considers it Is highly necessary to end. In view of this. Governor Taft tonight sent Consul-General Stelnhart to Clenfuegos with authority to take any action he may deem advisable in the in terest of a reconciliation of political dif ferences there and inaugurating a fresh start toward a reasonable degree of mu tual goodwill between the malcontents. Settle Feuds Before Amnesty. Mr. Taft believes that It is particularly necessary that the vexed local situation in Clenfuegos shall be settled before the Issuance of an amnesty decree, since he has determined to Include in the amnesty all persons charged with complicity In the Villuendas murder. He holds that. If he yielded to the importunities of many residents of Clenfuegos and allowed those charged with the crime to be brought to trial, it would result, in the event of their acquittal by a Judge belonging to the Moderate party, in reopening the quarrel over the Incident in a more violent manner than ever. Ever since the death of Senor Villu endas a year ago last September, his murder has been the subject of heated discussions in Congress and at political meetings. Members of the Moderate party have been charged with the crime and their trial repeatedly demanded, but th Cuban government regarded it as urjafe to accede to these demands during the Overheated state of the public mind. Heal Tp Another Old Sore. Mr. Taft has also decided to include in the general amnesty,, all persona al leged to have been connected with the Guanabacoa outrage of last February, when several rural guardsmen were wan tonly killed In their quarters by a gang of night marauders. He Is unwilling to furnish any opportunity for the reopen ing of old sores in these notorious mat ters and will Insist on the effectual clos ing now of all Incidents which are an outgrowth of former political strife. Mr. Stelnhart will reach Clenfuegos to morrow. He has received no definite In structions except to deal with all ques tions arising according to his best Judg ment. The governors of all provinces, except ing Santa Clara, report that the. dlsband ment of both volunteers and Insurgents Is complete and Santa Clara reports good progress. These reports are confirmed by messages to Marine headquarters. Treasurer Roloff today began counting the contents of the treasury, which amount to $12.0H0.W mostly In Ameri can gold. Major Eugene F. Ladd rep resents the United States in the counting of this money. Avoids Party Meetings. Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal leader, called at the palace today and invited Mr. Taft to attend the liberal mass meeting on October 14. Mr. Taft replied that he would probably sail for the United States on October 13. Senor Zayas then offered to hold the meeting before the governor's departure, but Mr. Taft intimated that he did not consider it wise to attend a party demonstration. Although the American commissioners will leave Cuba this week. Captain Mc Coy, the military aide to the governor, will remain for another week to familiar ize Governor Magoon with the situation. The arrival of General J. Franklin Bell is awaited before the beginning of the distribution of the troops. A tentative plan Is that large detachments be sent to each provincial capital and to Clen fuegos, to be subject to needs elsewhere.

DIVORCE AVERTED By FRANK GOULD Papers Drawn Up but All Destroyed. RESULT OF FAMILY COUNCIL Couple Will Meet Again After Long Separation. HELEN GOULD PEACEMAKER Youngest of Family Slarries Chum of Childhood, but Differences Al most Cause Division Long Voyage May End Quarrel. NEW TORK. Oct. 8. (Speoial.) Mrs. Frank Jay Gould, wife of the youngest son of Jay Gould, left Lynd hurat, the old family home of the Goulds at Irvlngton on the Hudson, the residence of Miss Hfflt-n Gould, to day and went to Hot Springs. Virginia, for an Indefinite stay. Frank Jay Gould has completed preparations for a tour around the world on his steam yacht, the Helenlta. which is named after his wife, who was Miss Helen Margaret Kelly. He will sail soon, and his trip, according to present plans, will occupy many months. Divorce Papers Destroyed. Mrs. Gould's visit to Miss Helen Gould has been of considerable length and. it is understood, has been termi nated only after a reconciliation had been effected with her husband- Papers which were drawn up to be used In obtaining a legal separation of Mrs. Gould from her husband have been destroyed, and no further action look ing tc. a. court review and judgment upon their differences will be taken, at least for the present. Abandonment of these proceedings is the result of a council in which all tne members of the Gould family took part. The united efforts of his broth ers and Bisters were brought to bear upon Frank Gould and his wife to heal the breach and to prevent a sep aration, at least so far aa publlo ao tlon was conoerned. Happy Marriage Spoiled. Chums from childhood and wedded when both were very young, the mar riage of Frank Jay Gould and Miss Kelly was generally regarded as very happy. They spent most of the early years of their married life on Mr. Gould's yacht. Neither seemed to care greatly for society. That differences had arisen between them was known only to their intimate friends, and very few, indeed, shared the secret of th decision to seek legal separation. Whole Family Rejoices. Before Mrs. Gould returns from the Virginia health resort It is expected that the Helenlta will have sailed on her long voyage. What will oocur upon Mr. Gould's return a year or mora hence none of his family is willing to predict, though all are gratified at their success in averting, if not end ing, the danger of a final separation. Mrs. Frank J. Gould is the object of much, affection from her husband's family and Is especlaly a friend of Miss Oould. Mr. and Mrs. Gould have two ohll dren. daughters, one 4 and the other 3 years old. It is expected that Mrs. Gould will take up her residence with them In the New York homo of her husband when she returns from Hot Springs. NO EXCUSE FOR COMPANY Trans-Atlantic Company Loses In the Superior Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8. The Trans-Atlantic Fire Insurance Com pany loses in the first decision to be rendered In the Superior Court regard ing the liability of companies which, have refused a dollar-for-dollar settle ment. The company has not a single excuse in law for repudiating the claims of Its policyholders, according to the decision rendered today by Judge Carroll Cook. The Trans-Atlantic had no earth quake clause. Its resistance to the payment of obligations rested entire ly upon the general clause of excep-s tlons In the policies, by which it is relieved from liability In case of loss caused by invasion, insurrection, riot, civil war or civil commotions or through military or usurped power or by order of any civil authority. "There is no evidence that can bring the case within any of the exceptions con tained in the policy." said Judge Cook. "Even if the earthquake caused the fire, the defendant would still be liable, under the .policy, but there la no evidence that would Justify a finding that the Are was caused by the earthquake." The plaintiff in the test case is Assist ant City Attorney A. S. Newburgh, who received i&50. The company disclaimed responsibility upon the assertion that the fire was an act of Providence. Will Use Mounted Infantry. HAVANA. Oct 8 uAfter the arrival here of the 2000 horses contracted for in the United States, the provisional govern ment will have a surplus of horses on hand. General Funston said this evening that he probably would use considerable numbers of mounted Infantry throughout the Island. The provisional government has also accepted large quantities of arms and ammunition contracted for by the Cuban Government.
