WOULD ALDRICH
SEEK REVENGE?
Corporation Senators Might
Haze Roosevelt if He En
tered Senate.
BUT CHANGE MAY COME
Same Causes Which Might Make the
President a Senator Would De
throne Ills Enemies Dolliver
Likely the Future Boss.
OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 11. It Is probably true, as
tated by Professor Wolcott, of Harvard,
that President Roosevelt is not slated to
succeed President Eliot of that Institu
tion for two reasons: first, because he
does not want the job. and. second, be
cause the Fix men who have the selec
tion of a president for Harvard College
don't want a man of Mr. Roosevelt's
type. According to this same authority,
Mr. Roosevelt, upon his retirement from
the White House, wants to go to the
United States Senate.
Mr. Roosevelt in the Senate would be
a very interesting figure, especially If he
should enter the Senate as it is now or
ganized. The men In control, the "inner
circle," so to speak, are decidedly hostile
to the President and if they could get at
lilm as a Senator they could wreak some
of the vengeance they have been unable
to work off while he has been President.
This crowd, holding undisputed control,
could make things very uncomfortable
for Theodore Roosevelt, Senator, whereas
they have to bow down and acknowledge
defeat at the hands of Theodore Roose
velt, President.
Senate Might Haze Jllm.
For instance. If Mr. Roosevelt should
rnter the Senate now. he would be made
chairman of the committee on the de
struction of waste papers in the Govern
ment Departments or some cquallly Im
portant committee that is committee in
name only and has no official functions
to perform. He would be given member
ship on the less important committees,
where he could do no harm and wield no
influence for good. If he took the floor
to speak, many Senators would find ex
cuses for being absent and his audience
would be chiefly in the galleries. If
Roosevelt undertook as Senator to carry
out many of the reforms he has advo
cated as President, he would find the
Senate committees sidetracking his bills
and amendments and the Senate Itself
would have numerous excuses to avoid
consideration of his plans. He would,
beyond a doubt, be the worst hazed man
who ever entered Congress. That Is.
assuming the Aldrich crowd still held
control.
But it may transpire that Mr. Aldrich
Is not general manager of the Senate
when Mr. Roosevelt leaves the White
House, especially if Mr. Roosevelt Is re
nominated and re-elected President.
There Is more or less dissatisfaction with
Mr. Aldrich as boss of the Senate. There
are other men who would like his job.
Senator Elklns is one, but after an un
successful effort to lead a bolt, Mr. 131
klns has concluded that the place is not
for him. Others feel as Mr. Elklns did.
and they may make a try at unhorsing
Mr. Aldrich. Senator Dolliver, though
young, believes he has some of the attrib
utes of a party leader; Senator Crane,
of Massachusetts, though a trusted lieu
tenant of Mr. Aldrich, is aspiring to
higher things: Senator Koraker would
like to run things for a while, so would
Senator Knox, and of course Mr. Bever
idge would like to try his hand.
Successor to Aldrich.
Of all the men aspiring to succeed Mr.
Aldrich, Mr. Dolliver is the only one
closely identified with Mr. Roosevelt and
his policies. Mr. Knox, though he was
Mr. Roosevelt's Attorney General, Is not
1n hearty sympathy with the President
nn the great issues of the day and as
Senate leader he would not be particu
larly friendly with the President. Of
course Senator Iodge would be a good
friend of Mr. Roosevelt, but he has no
more chance of being Senate leader than
Mr. Fairbanks has of being nominated
for President In 1908. Mr. lxdge is per
sonally unpopular and stands no chance
of being chosen as party leader. Mr.
Dolliver, on the other hand. Is Btrong in
the Senate and exceptionally popular.
Stranger things might happen than the
overthrow of Mr. Aldrich and the eleva
tion of Mr. Dolliver or possibly the eleva
tion of some other young Republican
friendly with the Administration and op
posed to the representatives of corpora
tions who now have the Senate by the
throut.
If any such revolution should occur
and If Mr. Aldrich should be overthrown,
Theodore RoobcvoU could enter the Sen
nte and run no risk of being humiliated,
bulldozed and hazed in season and out.
A fair Senate would receive him wltlt
more courtesy than It would extend the
average new Senator, for his record
would demand such recoKnition. It would
not grant him leadership at the outset,
but it would take him into the councils
of th party, and the chances are he
would soon work his way up. Rut be
fore this can happen there must be a
material change in the make-up of the
Senate. Otherwise, Theodore Roosevelt,
Senator from New York, would be a
badly used football, furnishing amuse
ment for the corporation Senators who so
hate the President.
Ross Position Shuky.
Nelson W. Aldrich, friend of the Stan
dard Oil and opponent of all anti-corporation
legislation, is anything but firm
In his position of boss of the Senate. He
Is not unaware that fires are being built
under him In the Senate as well as in
Rhode Island. He hns not forgotten the
fact that the Rhode Island Legislature
recently adjourned without electing a
successor to his late colleague. Senator
Wctmore. There were three millionaires
In the race for the Rhode Island Sena
torshlp; three men as firm friends of cor
porate wealth as Aldrich himself, and if
none of them could be elected, it is a
foregone conclusion that Mr. Aldrich will
have trouble In securing a re-election, es.
pecially if seform sentiment continues to
grow during the remaining years of Mr.
Aldrlch's present term.
Aldrich rule In the Senate is corpora
tion rule, but the people throughout the
country do not approve of corporation
domination in Government circles and,
while the Senate Is more remote from
the reach of individual voters than is the
House of Representatives, the will of the
people may yet be felt there and the
minute the will of the people prevails,
the rule of Mr. Aldrich will end. Should
this change come before Mr. Roosevelt
leaves the White House, he may be able
to fulfill his ambition, enter the Senate
in a dignified manner and serve his state
in that body with that same amount of
respect that he' has shown and been
shown lu tba Wliita Jlouse. if the
change does not come, and Mr. Roosevelt
is elected to the Senate, his corporation
fed colleagues may haze him. but he will
bother them while they are about it.
He would be a hornet In their midst.
DAMAGE SUIT IS, ARGUED
Judge McBride Concludes Columbia
' County Trial in This City.
After hearing arguments by counsel
in the case of Lou'-A. Elliott against,
the Astoria & Columbia River Rail
road in the law offices of Judge C. H.
Carey, last night, by stipulation. Judge
T. A. McBride took the case under ad
visement. He will render his decision
later from the bench in Columbia
County, where the evidence in the case
was heard.
The plaintiff is a resident of Clat
skanie and alleges serious injuries in
the wreck on the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad on February 17. The
case just completed is the only suit
for damages growing out of the wreck,
the other passengers injured having
been settled with out of court.
The complaint filed by the plaintiffs
attorneys recites that she was thrown
violently from her seat by the derail
ment of the train while on her way
from Clatskanie to Portland and was
severely injured about the back and
side. It is alleged that the shock dis
located one kidney, and this is the
basis for the claim for $10,000 damages
sued for. The plaintiff alleged she was
incapacipated from performing . any
work and will have to undergo a dan
gerous and expensive surgical opera
tion. Graham & Cleeton represented the
plaintiff, while C. c. Fulton and Har
rison Allen appeared for the defendant
corporation. The defense defaulted,
not filing any answer to the com
plaint, thus escaping a jury trial and
leaving the settlement of damages to
the court. The defense admitted that
the plaintiff is entitled to nominal
damages, and that is all.
The arguments submitted last night
were largely technical.

PUSH CLUB AT PACIFIC
Students to Work for Larger Attend
ance at the University.
FAt-IFIC irNIVERSITY. Forest Grove,
Or., June 12. (Special.') At a meeting of
the student body recently a "student push
club"' was organized for the purpose of se
curing a larger student body. President
C. D. Mason brought this matter before
the students in a very enthusiastic speech,
showing them the large Increase In the
present student body over the year 1906
by a similar effort that was made then.
President Ferrln provided the Push Club
with circulars and bulletins as to the
relative merits of the school, so as to
aid the students in this work. John W.
Peters, of the class of '07, who was the
leader of the movement last year, came
forward with statistics and data Illus
trating the vital needs of successful ad
vertising. The students have taken hold
with a strong determination. A resolu
tion was passed by the club stating that
the class securing the greatest number
of students would be banqueted by the
other classes both in the college and
academy. Next Fall at the beginning of
the new term a large banquet will be
given in the new $50,000 ladies' dormitory
to the successful class.

GLAD TO GET HOME
President Resumes Residence
at Oyster Bay.
IS GREETED BY CHILDREN
Summer Capitol to Be Run on Same
Lines as Previously, No Visitors
Entertained TJnless Pre
1 viously Invited.
OYSTER BAT. N. Y., June 12. Presi
dent Roosevelt and his family are tonight
at home at Sagamore Hill. The trip from
Washington, which was begun this morn
ing in a drizzling rain, ended in sunshine
at S o'clock this afternoon. At Jersey
City and Long Island City crowds sur
rounded the President's car. shouting
greetings, and when the train drew in
here the station platform was thronged
with neighbors, who extended - Oyster
Bay's, usual demonstrative welcome.
After the President had embraced
Archie and Quentin, who sprang into his
arms In the car door, his next words
were to his neighbors, who crowded
about him.
"Well, I am glad to be here," was the
exclamation which opened the President's
little chat with the villagers. He stepped
at once to the platform. As usual the
reception committee was headed by ex
Sheriff Johnson and Editor Cheney.
But the youngsters of the town seemed
to have formed reception plans of their
own, and as they pressed around in scores,
the President gave them his immediate
attention. Grasping one diminutive hand
after another, the President said:
"There Is certainly no evidence of race
suicide In Oyster Bay." Then he reached
over and picked up a tot. who was hug
ging a little brown object, saying: "And
you've a real bear?"
After President and Mrs. Roosevelt had
shaken hands with everybody the family
was driven to Sagamore Hill.
The official announcement of the day
is that the President has come to Oyster
Bay to spend the three and a half months
of his vacation in quiet and rest as near
as may be. The President will not be
accessible to callers who have not pre
viously made appointments. It is ex
pected that members of the Cabinet will
present in person such matters of busi
ness as may need the President's atten
tion, but aside from these. Secretary Loeb
will exercise rigid consorship on the
Sagamore Hill calling list.
Before dark tonight the executive offi
ces were completely equipped with all
necessary paraphernalia. Including tele
graphic and telephonic connections, and
the Summer capitol may be said to be
fully established.
Will Spend Quiet Summer.
WASHINGTON, June 12. President
Roosevelt left Washington today for
his Summer home at Oyster Bay. The
party Included Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs.
Cowles,' the wife of Rear-Admiral
Cowles, Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and
Mr. M. C. Latta, one of the assistant
secretary.
The President hopes to pass a very
quiet Summer at Oyster Bay, and ac
cording to present plans, with prob
ably not more than one exception, he
will remain there continuously until he
leaves for Canton, O., for the unveiling
of the McKlnley memorial monument
on September 30. The Roosevelt chil
dren are now at Oyster Bay waiting
the arrival of their parents.
FAIR DEAL FOR CANDIDATES
Let Names Be Printed In Different
Rotation on Different Ballots,
ITHACA, N. T., June 5. (To tti Ed
itor.) In recent issues of The Ore&o
nlan a number of communications have
appeared suggesting remedies for coun
teracting the abuses arising from the
disposition of the careless and in
different voters to vote for candidates
in alphabetical order wU-hout any ref
erence to their ' individual merits.
Under the present system it is a dis
tinct advantage for a candidate to have
his name placed at the head of the col
umn, no matter with what letter his
name may begin. The system adopted
in Washington of placing the name of
the candidate who first files his peti
tion at the head of the list is not so
good as the alphabetical system used
in Oregon, as it invites the confusion
of a scramble on the part of candidates
to secure the advantage of having their
names placed at the head of the list.
In Indianapolis, a city of probably
twice the size of Portland, they have
adopted a method of governing this
matter in their school elections which
is said to give excellent satisfaction.
There it was estimated that the care
less and indifferent vote that always
went for the candidate at the head
of the ballot, without any reference to
-Individual merit, constituted 20 per
cent of the total vote. The Indianapo
lis method, it is said, causes no such
confusion as was predicted for It and
adds practically nothing- to the cost
of preparing and distributing the bal
lots. The section of the statute gov
erning this particular matter reads as
follows: -
The ballots ao prepared shall contain the
name- cf all such candidates arranged in
alphabetical ordfr in columns according to
th following- method: The names of candi
dates for each term Bhall b printed in a
separate co'umn, those for the regular term
In the first column and those to fill va
cancies In the second column, and such
TU'ires shall be printed upon the ballots in
rotation in such manner, as nearly as pos
sible, that the name of each candidate shall
appear at the head of the column for his
term, whether the regular or the vacancy
term, an often as that of any other candi
date shall so appear, and In the second
place a like number of times, and bo on.
In printing the ballots, the positions of the
several names shall be changed as many
times as there are candidates to be voted
for. In changing the positions the printer
shall take the name at the head of the
column and put it at the foot, raising the
remainder of the column so that the name
that was second before the change shall be
first after the change. After the ballot
are printed they shall be kept In separate
piles, one pile for each change of position,
and then gathered by taking one from each
pile and placing It upon the pile to be
blocked In such a way that every block or
100 ballots (and all ballots shall be sent
out in blocks of 100 each) shall have as
nearly as possible an equal number of bal
lon of earh k'nd. and the name of each
candidate thereon shall appear severally In
first, second, third and fourth place, and so
on, upon the severa ballots an equal num
ber of t:mea with each of the other candi
dates for the said term.
The candidate whose name begins
with one of the lower letters of the
alphabet will certainly welcome some
such statute as the foregoing as an Im
provement upon the method now in
force. CHARIES B. MOOKES.
Paid for Votes, But No Graft.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. June 12. (Special.)
For every voter in a precinct to receive
a recompense of $3 for his vote and yet
mot be Implicated In "graft" seems im
possible, yet that is what occurred in the
ty. , Ieer Park precinct boasts of six
males eligible to vote. In accordance
with the law the half dozen were on elec
tion day turned Into . Judges and clerks'.
The polls were kept open from 7 A. M.
till 7 P. M. and during that time the six
cast their votes, four voting "wet" and
two voting "dry." No challenges were
made during the day and there were no
stuffed ballots. "
TO. IMPROVE FIRE SERVICE
Chehalis to Receive Reduction in in
surance Kates.
CHEHALIS. TTash., June 12. Special.)
At the meeting of the Chehalis Citizens'
Club the proposition to recommend to the
City Council the purchase of an auto
matic fire alarm system was in a way
turned down. Instead of the alarm sys
tem the consensus of opinion of the large
delegation of business men present was
that it would be better at this time to ex
pend the same money in providing more
and better equipment for the use of the
department Accordingly a motion car
ried announcing the sense of the meeting
to be that the Council buy a combination
hose wagon and chemical, a team of
horses and additional hose, and that a
paid man be employed to look after the
wagon and be on duty at the fire house.
It is likely that two men will be added
and possibly two teams purchased, the
purpose being to use the horses on city
work. Chehalis citizens have received
the assurance from the 'insurance under
writers that if certain ' added improve
ments are made to the fire system, the
whole entailing a cost of about l0QOr a
reduction of about 20 per cent in the in
surance premiums to be collected annual
ly in the city will be granted.

NO HOPE OF ESCAPE
Minnesota's Launch Gives Up
Relics, No Bodies.
TUG SUSPECTED AS CAUSE
Occupants of Boats Caught Vnder
Canopy Like Rats Evans Gives
Tp All Hope That Els
Sailors Are Alive.
NORFOLK, Va, June 12. It was re
ported today that the disaster in Hamp
ton Roads, Monday night, which resulted
in the sinking of a launch from the bat
tleship Minnesota and the drowning of 11
men including six midshipmen who were
returning from the army and navy ball
at the Jamestown Exposition that night,
and five seamen, who mads up the crew
of the launch, resulted from the Minneso
ta's launch being run down by a tug and
coal barge which the tug was towing.
The identity of the tug and barge are as
yet unknown.
It was reported that the tug stopped
after the accident but finding no trace of
the object struck, or any sign of life in
the water, resumed its course with the
coal barge "in tow. The presumption Is
that the launch sank immediately in the
darkness of the stormy night, the 11 oc
cupants being caught in their canvas cov
ered craft with no possible way of es
cape and carried to the bottom, drown
ing like rats in a trap.
It was raining and the choppy seas were
sending sprays to such an extent that it
became necessary for those in the launch
to have the canvas covering buttoned
tightly down from top to both sides of the
vessel. It is not yet positively known
whether the tug and barge were outward
or inward bound, or that the tug men
knew what they had struck.
Supervising Inspector of Steam Ves
sels Oast said today that all excursion
steamers which went out Monday night
to view the illumination of the fleets
had come in before the Minnesota's
launch left the pier. He believes the
launch probably was overturned by a
heavy sea. A very high tide was run
ning, and a gale was blowing Monday
night.
A report came ashore from the war
ships this afternoon that a small piece
of canopy, presumably part of the
covering of the ill-fated launch, had
been brought up by the battleship Ala
bama's launch while dragging the
Roads. Divers will be sent down at
the spot where the piece of canopy was
found.
The hats of several seamen have
been brought to the surface. They
bear no marks, but are supposed to
have belonged to the seamen on the
launch.
