THE MORMMx UKJSUOlAS, JIOADAY, JANUARY 13, 1908.
DATE TO BE FIXED
Democrats Confer Saturday
on State Convention.
MEETING IN THIS CITY
Chairman SSwk Calls Together
Members of Central Committee.
Apportionment and Mode of
Procedure Also Come Up.
Next Saturday has been set tor a
meeting of the Democratic State Cen
tra! Committee, by Alex Sweek, chair
man, for the purpose of fixing a day
for the Democratic etate convention,
determining the method of choosing
delegates to the state convention, fix
ing the apportionment and deciding the
motliod of choosing the eight dele
gates to the National convention.
No call has been issued yet for a
.neeting of the Republican State Com
mittee, and Chairman G. A. Westgate
says there will be no need of a meet
ing for some time, since he believes the
sentiment of the party favors holding
the convention after the nominating
primaries, which the law sets for April
17. More than three months will
elapse, therefore, until the Republican
state convention will meet.
Among the Democrats there is talk
of putting off their state convention
until after the general election, June 1,
but this opinion i not unanimous. It
seems certain, however, that the Dem
ocratic state convention will not take
place before the nominating primaries.
In both parties is a strong aversion to
holding conventions beforo the pri
maries, because the cry would go up
'hat conventions, If eo held, were trying
to set up a slate for the primaries.
Members of Committee. . '
The Democratic meeting next Satur
day will be held in the Imperial Hotel.
The following members of the state
committee have been notilled to attend:
Baker. J. B. Rogers, Baker City; Benton,
rtobert johrfion. corvallls; Clackamas. H. L..
Ymighan, Molalla; Clatsop, A. Lberman.

.1. N Wall. Hlllsboro: Wheeler. W. W.
Hoover. Fossil; Yamhill, John Baker, Mc-Mlnm-llle.
In both parties, there is difference of
opinion as to the best way of choosing
dclcsates to the state conventions. Some
persons urge that the delegates be chosen
at the nominating primaries in the sev
eral counties; others that they be select
ed by county conventions; others that
they be picked by county central com
mittees, and still others, though fewer,
that they be named by the State Cen
tral Committee.
Home Rule Favored.
It seems likely that the method adopt
ed will be that of choosing by primaries
or by county conventions. In the Demo
cratic ranks is a sentiment urging that
each county committee adopt its own
method of choosing delegates; this meth
od has the approval of Chairman Sweck
and Secretary John B. Ryan. But In Re
publican ranks there is a demand for
uniformity of method in all the counties.
The Democrats have but one organiza
tion In the state that of their State
Central Committee. But the Republicans
have three State Central Committee and
district central committees for each of
tho two Congressional districts. The
Democratic State Convention will choose
eight delegates to the Democratic Na
tional Committee, though there is a de
mand in some quarters that the Na
tional delegates be chosen at primaries
by the direct nominating method. The
Republican State Convention will choose
four National delegates and each district
convention will choose two. The Repub
lican First District Central Committee is
headed by Claud Gateh, chairman, of
Salem. The Second District Committee
lias never organized. Each county has
one member on its respective district
committee and one on the State Central
Committee.
The state conventions, besides naming
National delegates, will nominate candi
dates for Presidential electors and will
probably adopt platforms.
Should the state conventions be held
before the primaries, there would be con
siderable expense in holding primaries to
choose delegates. But this expense could
be largely avoided by holding the dele
gate primaries on tho same day and at
the same places as the regular nominat
ing primaries.
DAVENPORT WILL LECTURE
Famous Cartoonist to Appear at
AVhite Temple.
The announcement that Oregon's dis
tinguished son Homer Davenport, rec
octiized as the foremost American car
toonist will lecture at the 'White Temple
Wednesday night, January 15, under the
auspices of the White Temple congrega
tion, has been received most gratefully by
the people of Portland. Mr. Davenport,
in addition to his genius as an artist in
lilack and white,, is one of the most en
tertaining lecturers in the country. His
charm as a raconteur is simply spell
binding and his inimitable way of treat
ins subjects of intimate human interest
marks him as a man of power and in
fluence in National affairs. His views
of life are absolutely wholesome and
helpful. He is a living protest against
the influences that are at work to un
dermine our Americanism. In the 15
ears he has been prominently in the
public eye he has enjoyed a personal ac
quaintance with the foremost men and
women not only of this country but of
1-urorc as well.
Recently Mr. Davenport has devoted
much attention to moulding sentiment in
I'avor of the humane movement and no
more effective champion In favor of the
prevention of cruelty to animals has ever
wielded his pen in this' country. His
ii nicies and pictures protesting against
the slaughter of wild animals and the in
human treatment of domestic animals
have Interested the whole nation.
lie has recently returned from a most
adventurous journey into the heart of
the Arabian desert for tho purpose of
.ivi-uung pure-blooded Arabian horses to
bring to this country for breeding pur
poses and mueh of his lecture will be de
viled to recounting his experiences In
tltis little known legion of the world.
He made his expedition by special per-mit-sion
of the Sultan of Turkey who
authorized the exportation of the war
txori.es of the desert, the first time such
a concession has ever been made to an
American. On this trip, during the course
of which he penetrated a region never
heretofore visited by white men, he was
a guest of honor of the warring tribes
men and was made a fnll sheik, or chief.
Homer Davenport's name is a house
hold word all over the United States.
Everyone is familiar with his powerful
political cartoons, the famous Hanna
dollar-mark and others which have had
'Such an influence in moulding public
sentiment. He will illustrate his lecture
with hus own pictures which feature
alone will be a great attraction.- He is in
great demand as a lecturer in all the
large cities of the country and Portland
is fortunate in having this opportunity
of hearing him before his return to New
York from his present visit to Oregon.
WHY DEMOCRATS SCARCE?
Chairman Thomas of County Com
mittee Desires to Know Reason.
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 12. (To the Edi
tor.) Referring to a. news Item in The
Sunday Oregonian headed "Democrats Are
Scarce," the question naturally arises, why
are Democrats scarce?
Is it because our Democratic Governor has
protected the funds of the -State Treasury
which were placed in jeopardy by Repub
lican State Treasurer?
Is it because that Democratic Governor
ENTERS RACE FOR REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
has demanded that the railroad corpora
tions of the Northwest comply with the
terms of the railroad land grants?
Is It because our Democratic District At
torney has acted wisely in behalf of thous
ands of depositors In the suspended banks
of Portland?
Or are Democrats scarce because the Re
publican District Attorney of 1S03 failed to
assist the unfortunate depositors in the
bank failures of that year?
Or Is it because our Democratic District
Attorney has enforced the Sunday-closing
lawsomething his Republican predecessors
In office never did?
Are Democrats scarce because under a
Democratic Mayoralty Portland's mighty
skyscrapers have been erected; because in
all of the vast street, sewer and bridge im
provements, made under said administration,
there has been no scandal?
In other words are Democrats scarce be
cause Oregon and Portland have never
known greater prosperity and growth than
citizens have enjoyed for a long period un
der Democratic administrations and until
that prosperity was blighted by this panic
under a National Republican administra
tion? Truth Is no man need be afraid to
register as a Democrat since we are in the
wake of a financial storm and no em
ployer will labor under the hallucination
that he should coerce his help into register
ing" as members of the G. O. P.

George S. Shepherd, lawyer, ex-president
of the' City Council and former
sailor before the mast, who, in 1906, ran
for Grongrress and was defeated at the
primaries by W. R. Ellis, will again
be a candidate. . This time Mr. Shep
herd does not intend to enter the fight
so late, for he is convinced, in spite
of the fact that Ellis won two years
ago by 2003 votes, that had he entered
the fight earlier than March he would
have defeated the Pendleton man. Mr.
Shepherd mad hie official announce
ment of candidacy yesterday, and says
he will go before the people again on
practically the same platform as in
1906.
Mr. Shepherd thinks it is about time
that Multnomah County sent a repre
sentative to Washington, and calls at
tention to the fact that it has been 23
years since a -man was elected to
Congress from Portland. Mr. Snepherd
has lived in Oregon since 1876 and be
lieves that he will be able to serve the
state as well, if not better than, any
other candidate in the field, especially
as he has 'been a sailor and has a
knowledge of the needs of the Columbia
River gained at first hand.
In announcing his candidacy and out
lining his platform, Mr. Shepherd said
yesterday:
Portland Long Neglected.
"Multnomah County has been with
out a member of Congress for 23 years.
With' the law concerning appropriations
as it is, it is more likely that a repre
sentative in touch with river and har
bor problems will get quicker and bet
ter recognition than a man who is not
in touch with such affairs. The most
important measure for Oregon to be
advocated in Congress will be the im
provement of the Columbia River" bar.
All Oregon, and especially the Second
Congressional District, is vitally inter
ested in this improvement, as Portland
is, and will be, the greatest wheat port
In the world. All Oregon and Eastern
Washington products will be shipped
across the bar. The larger the, ships
entering the carrying trade the cheaper
the rates. The cheaper the rates the
higher price for products, of course.
"Few people realize the Importance
of this port as a shipping center. When
one considers three miles of ships in
the harbor at one time and 1200 vessels
which have cleared from this port dur
ing 1907. we can begin to realize the

proportions of this business. The great J
pity of it all is that none of the busi
ness is done in vessels registered from
here, and a very small part is done in
American bottoms only the coast-wise
trade, which must be carried in Amer
ican built vessels.
Laws Need Amendment. -
"If the laws were so amended that
foreign-built vessels could be purchased
by American citizens and registered
under the American flag. Portland and
Astoria, citizens would purchase foreign
built vessels and hornet-built vessels and
home transportation companies would
be organized with local capital and we
could at least have a chance to pick up
a good vessel at a reasonable figure.
"As the laws are at present, no foreign-built
vessel can be registered in
this country. The result is that the
Sound cities and San Francisco are do
ing the coast-wise trade because we
cannot buy vessels fit for service, while
the Sound ports have several fine ves
sels flying the American flag. The
Coast trade from here is being done in
inferior types of vessels and there are
no decent American steamers to be had
for thte port for love of money.
"The United States Government has
violated the law in shipping coal for
the Coast ports to supply the fleet now
en route. This is an opportune time to
force the iessue, and I would make a
persistent effort to obtain relief from
the present laws, which are 118 years
old and entirely out-of-date. Germany,
France, Italy, Austria, Norway and
Sweden have built up their merchant
marines by allowing foreign registryr
and it is certainly worth trying for.
Check on Kail Kates.
"Improvement of the Upper Columbia
would be a most effective local rate
regulation for the railroads on either
bank, whilfi completion of the Panama
Canal would regulate transcontinental"
freights. It would save 12,000 miles
from New York to North Pacific ports,
as compared with the Cape Horn route,
and save the most baffling and danger
ous voyage known.
"The subject of postal banks is perti
nent at this time. There should be a
guaranteed bank to Insure the safety of
savings. Those who deposit in savings
banks can ill afford to lose the products
of perhaps a lifetime. Postal banks
are coming and I believe the sooner the
better."
NEW YEAR'S OREGONIAN
Most Valuable Issue.
The Dalles Optimist.
Probably no locality in the state got
a better ad in the New Tear's number
of The Oregonlan than The Dalles and
vicinity. The picture of fruit lands alone
was a magnificent object lesson) one
which no reader could overlook. Taken
as a whole this great paper had about
the most valuable issue that any news
paper has ever sent from the press in
this state, and it shoulddo us a great
deal of good in the way of bringing in
settlers.
Finest and Most Complete.
Salem Statesman.
Everybody knows that It is one of the
finest and most complete numbers ever
Issued by that great metropolitan, dally.
The writer can say this much, that he
has been instrumental in sending several
copies of it to friends and acquaintances
in the Bast, who no doubt have by this
time perused every line of its 48 pages
and are beginning to wish they could
benumbered among the residents of Ore
gon: and we believe it will cause them to
emigrate to the far Pacific Northwest
before many months pass.
Excellently Illustrated.
Gresham Herald.
One becomes so used to accepting good
things from The Oregonian without com
ment that unless the edition is of more
than usual merit it is taken and accepted
as a matter of course. Everyone who has
friends or relatives who they think are
interested in Oregon can send them no
more useful New Year's present than a
copy of this most excellently illustrated
matter.
. Up to a High Standard.
Pendleton Tribune.
The annual number of the New Year's
Oregonian is fully up to the standard
of its predecessors, which is saying that
it is a first-class vehicle for carrying
Oregon's magnificent resources to the peo
ple of the Unitad States. Splendidly il
lustrated, it carries to the minds of peo
ple abroad actual conditions as they ex
ist, and the written descriptions of dif
ferent portions of the state are unusually
complete.
Holds Front Rank.
Chehalls Advocate.
The Portland Oregonian issued a splen
did New Year's edition which will do
much toward Increasing the popularity of
that already leading newspaper. The
Oregonian has always held front rank
among Pacific Coast newspapers and has
been a power in the development of Or
gon and adjoining states.
Jfevcr a Better Number. '
Hood River News-Letter.
The natural resources of the state were
thoroughly exploited and the several de
partments were treated by experts in
thetr line. At no time during the past
eight years to our personal knowledge
has The Oregonian produced a better
number, or one which will be of more
lasting benefit to the state or the entire
Northwest.
Attractively Written.
Heppner Times.
The New Year edition of The Oregonian
13 a splendid industrial number and will
be the means of bringing many .people
to Oregon. Articles treating o'n every
important industry are attractively writ
ten and Oregon people should- see that
the edition should be extensively' cir
culated. Most Creditable.
Medford Southern Oregonian. -The
Oregonlan's New Year' edition
was a most creditable issue, devoted to
exploiting the resources of Oregon in
a manner designed to aid materially in
the development of the state. The illus
trations were designed to catch the eye of
all Teaders.
- Attractive and Convincing.
Fossil Journal.'
The New Year's Oregonian was one of
the best advertisements the state has
ever received. The illustrations are very
fine, and the stories of Oregon's wonder
ful opportunities and prosperity are writ
ten in most attractive and convincing
style.
Fine.
Big Bend Empire.
The Oregonian issues an annual the first
of every year and of course the last is
always the best. The first page of the
paper shows a typical scene in an Oregon
apple orchard, wnicn is nne.
Splendid.
Harney County News.
The New Year's issue of The Oregonian
is a splendid epitome of the enterprise,
development and possibilities of Oregon,
present and prospective.
Delivers the Goods.

once entirely at the mercy of the ele
ments, as her steering gear was dis
abled. i On leaving port, December 23, the
Arabia ran into a tiff westerly gale
that continued until the last day of
the year, when It shifted to the. east
and blew at a hurricane rate. The huge
seas washed over the steamer and on
the afternoon of January 1, thefcsteer
ing wheel was broken, allowing the
vessel to roll in the trough of the seas.
With the decks filled with water and
the waves continually breaking over
them, the crew worked for 11 hours
before repairs were made and the
steamer again got under -control. Dur
ing this time several of the Chinese
crew were hit with floating wreckage
and so badly bruised that they are still
laid up, but, none of them was seriously
Injured.
On January 6. when off the Aleutian
Islands, the Arabia reached the center
or the cyclone. There was scarcely
any wind, but a nasty cross sea was
running and the barometer dropped to
27.04, the lowest point Captain Neu
mann says of which he ever saw any
record. Three days later the steamer
again caught the full force of th
storm, making the third time during
the trip, and she did not escape .from
its clutches until yesterday. The
Arabia reached the mouth of the river
this morning and came Inside at once.
The Arabia was scheduled to arrive in
Portland early In December and to sail
for the East again during the same
month. She put into Hakodate for sul
phur and was detained there for more
than three weeks by heavy weather.
The Japanese steamship Hanshu Maru,
under charter to the Portland & Asiatic
Steamship Company, is due during the
month and the Alesia and the Nlcomedla
are due during February.
The Oriental business will be rushing
during the next six weeks. The Manshu
Maru will take general cargo for ports
in Japan but will not take Hongkong
freight. The four steamships due to sail
within the next two months will take a
large Quantity of flour.
FRENCH BARK MEETS STORMS
Ville de Dijon Arrives in, 14 5. Days
From Havre. .
ASTORIA, Or., Jan 12. (Special.) Th
French bark Ville de Dijon, with a cargo
of cement from Antwerp, arrived in to
day, 145 days from Havre, where she put
in for repairs after a collision with an
Atlantic liner. Captain Brunei reports a
pleasant passage in the Atlantic except
lng that J. Dennis, an able seaman, fell
from aloft and was so badly injured that
lie died six hours later and A. Poirer,
another member of the crew, died after
a short illness. Both men were buried
at sea.
Off the Horn severe weather was en
countered but in the Pacific the bark had
pleasant - weather until arriving in the
latitude of thejColumbia River and about
18 miles off shore on December 29. when
a series of gales was struck that drove
the vessel as far north as Destruction
Island. At one time she was close in
shore off Grays Harbor. Aside from the
loss of a few sails no damage was done
the vessel. The bark beat her way back
to the Columbia River, arriving yester
day afternoon. When she was boarded
by Pilot Leighton and last night she
dropped anchor off the bar until this
morning. ,
