TT- 3I0RXIXG OREG0XIA. FRIDAY, JAJfUARY 24, 1908. 11 CAKE COMES OUT FOH- SENATORSHIP Portland Lawyer Declares Himself Candidate Against C. W. Fulton.- WILL STUMP THE STATE Opens Campaign Next Month on Platform Favoring Klver Im provement and Tariff Revision. Supports Statement No. 1. H. M. Cake's expected candidacy for the United States Senatorshlp, to suc ceed C. W. Fulton, was announced yes terday by Sir. Cake. There are now two evowed aaplrants for the Republican nom ination for that office, the other being Mr. Fulton. Mr. Cake aaya he will sup port the direct primary lay and State ment No. 1. Mr. Fulton Is not an advocate of Statement No. 1, and while not ag gressively lighting it. Is counted by Its advocates as an enemy. Mr. Cake will announce his platform later, but it Is known by his friends that Its chief planks will be demands for Im provement of rivers and harbors and re vision of the tariff. He has already de clared himself opposed to 8enator Ful ton's plan for enlarged Federal powers. Mr. Cake will make a stump campaign over the state, beginning next month, for the primary nomination, and if nomi nated, will continue the campaign up to the general election, June 1. The Democratic candidate is expected to -be Governor Chamberlain, who will meet the Republican nominee in the June election. Mr. Cake's supporters are confident that Mr. Cake can defeat Ful ton tn the Republican primaries and Chamberlain tn the general election. They say that two years ago he made a phe nomenal run for the primary nomina tion, for a man who had never appeared actively before the people up to that time In politics. He ran a close second In the primaries and for several days was thought to have defeated Bourne for ' the nomination. When the final returns came In the count showed the vote as follows: Bourne. 12.877; Cake. 12,252; Low ell, 7056; B. JU Smith. 63M; Watson, 4241; total, 42.SOS. Bourne's plurality, 625. Will Make Clean Fight. There will be keen rivalry between Mr. Cake and Mr. Fulton, but Mr. Cake says he will not make a campaign of assault on Sir. Fulton nor embitter their rela tions. Mr. Cako said last night. "I shall enter this contest with the ut- most good will toward Senator Fulton and shall maintain this attitude under all circumstances during the campaign. If Mr. Fulton shall be nominated, my friends and I will give him our hearty support In the June election. And I be lieve that the Senator and all his friends will do the same for me should I be suc cessful in the primaries." Mr. Cake said further that the direct primary method of nominating party can didates for United States Senator, and the popular election method of choosing the candidates in the June election, is the only means possessed by the people for choosing Senators by popular vote, and that he believes in adhering to this popu lar election plan, as prescribed by the direct primary law. He announced that he will not meddle with nomination of candidates for the Legislature. Mr. Cake's friends cite that he has no connection with corporation interests ana Id especially quallned to serve the peo ple for that reason. . They point out that though never a candidate for office up to two vears awo. he has been- prominent in Oregon affairs. He was one of the charter members of the Portland Chan her of Commerce, and was active in the consolidation of Portland, East Portland and Albina, in securing free bridges and free ferries, and in the passage of the Port of Portland Commission bill. llivuca Tjival Pnnhllifln. Under his direction the Portland Com mercial Club developed from a small and Insolvent association into the largest body of Its kind on the Pacific Coast, and attained Its present success tn ad vancing the welfare of Oregon. Mr. Cake has always been a loyal Republican, m .istent on fealty to party and loyalty to party principles. He was vice-president of the Republican National League of Oregon for three years. Mr. Cake has practiced law In Portland sime JSS5, when he was admitted to the bar.. He was bom in Seneca County, Ohio, April 13, 1SS7. In 18S1 he graduated from Oberlin College. Ohio.

UNDER- SPANISH TREATY Descendants of California Rancher Will Demand of Government Re turn of Present Site of Oak . land and Other Cities. . OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. S3. Another attempt will be made by the heirs of Louis Peralta, California rancher under the rule of Spain and Mexico, and own er of a principality extending from the ocean to the Sierra Nevadas, compris ing the present Cities of Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, and thousands of acres of rich land, to recover this territory, which they declare has been stolen from them. Many struggles on the part of the descendants of Louie Peralta, who are numerous, have been made to recover title to this vast estate. Manr Adverse Decisions. Twenty-seven court decisions have been rendered against them. But this time they are going to appeal directly to the United States Government - and demand of It that it live up to the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, made between Spain and Mexico In 1848. The Peralta heirs now contend that under tela treaty they are entitled to divide among them what their ancestor held under grant from the Spanish King. This grant to Louis Peralta was di vided by him among his four children Domingo, Vlncente, Tgnaclo and Maria when he died. It has all passed away from them and their descendants many years ago. Hundreds of millions of dollars of property are now Included within the original lines. . The contention of tho Peraltas Is now that the United States Government guaranteed title and possession, and that the Government should make good. Lose Their Rich Holdings. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo confirmed the Spanish and Mexican grants. Later, in 1850, an act of Con gress, known as the squatters act. was passed, which declared that all the Spanish and Mexican grants were pub lic domain. Under the publications or this act, the Peraltas lost, little by lit tle, all their rich holdings. Louis Peralta and his children were driven off their land again and again by armed men, and Louis himself was thrown Into prison. This morning P. A. Davidson, of this city, a descendant of Louis Peralta, and William Mulr, of Sacramento, a friend of the Peralta family, visited the County Clerk's office to obtain photo graphic reproductions of the will of Domingo Peralta, who died in 1867, in order that the chain of evidence that they will offer may be complete. JOHNS IS READY TO ACT CLOSE BAKER CITY IP PEOPLE DESIRE IT. Mayor, However,. Wants Proof That Policy Is Popular, and Asks the Clergy to Supply It. BAKER CITT, Jan. 23. (Special.) The officials of Baker City and Coun tv are not taking any action In the flsrht that is being: waged by the min isters of this city for civic righteous ness, but are ready to abide by the de clsion of the people. Mayor John's position relative to tha gambling question has been made plain to the people. It Is .the one upon which he stood at his election to the office of Mayor and one which he still maintains as the chief executive of Baker City. At the- time of Mayor Johns' election he was opposed by F. M. Saxton, who advocated a closed town and the enforcement of the laws of the state of Oregon as they related to Baker City. Mayor Johns thought at that time three years ago that the sentiment of the people of this city was for an open town, and it was with the understand ing that the town would remain open that he was elected to office. Since that time Mayor Johns has always been ready and willing to obey the wishes of the people, and when they make known to him their desire to have gambling closed In Baker City, he will enforce the law and comply with their wishes. At the time of the city election last Fall, when four new members were elected to the Council, Mayor Johns made the ministers the offer that if they would put four candidates 111 the field and elect them to office lie would' close the town. The ministers refused to do this, stating that they would not have time to organize their forces, as only six weeks remained until the, elec tion. The ministers at one time had petitions circulated calling upon the city and county officials to enforce the laws of the state. What became of these petitions is not known, for they were never presented to the officials. District Attorney Lomax does- not think it Is his duty to go out and hunt up the evidence to prosecute the guilty gamblers, but stands ready at any. time to prosecute any cases where evidence that the laws are being vio lated is laid before him. He has told the ministers that any time they would bring one lone witness to him- who could testify to having seen gambling In this city, he would have the offend ers In court within SO minuses. The ministers have never brought any evi dence before him and only one person has ever complained of gambling here. This was D. J. Winslow, who came to Mr. Lomax and complained of the vio lation of the law at Copperfield. Upon the testimony of Mr. .Winslow two saloonkeepers were arrested and fined the limit for gambling and keeping open on Sunday. Since then Mr. Winslow has made no complaint. Sheriff Rand made his position known when he first entered upon his duties. He said be would take no- ac tion against the saloonmen, for they were licensed by the city and he thought it the city's place to see that they obeyed the law. He has refused to arrest the saloonmen for the vio lations of the law, although an at tempt was made at the last session of the grand jury to have him Indicted for the violation of hls-oath. When Harvey Brown was Sheriff of this county he was very strict in en forcing the laws against the gamblers THE LARGEST AND If you wish to start a Credit Account Come to this store.
