THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1908. STATEMENT NO. fiOI FOR MARION Sentiment Has Been Gradually Waning and Convention Will Shut Out Candidates. BUT ONE CONTEST IS ON County Judge Only Office to Be Struggled l-'or Statement Xo. 1 Candidates Xot Kxpected to Be Indorsed by Convention. SALEM. Or., reb. 7. (Special.) Condi tions could scarcely be more favorable than they are now In Marlon County for the termination of the Statement No. 1 movement. In the first place, the State ment No. 1 idea never had a very strong hold upon the Republicans in this county, as U shown by the resulte of the elec tion two years aso. when a majority of the members elected to the legislature were men who had not signed the pledge to vote for the people's choice for Sena tor. It is asserted that, sentiment has been gradually growing against the Statement No. l'plan since that time. Then, again, this will be the quietest year in politics Marion County has seen in 20 years. There is no contest over nomination for any county office except tfiat of County Judge. Apparently all other candidates will be nominated with no contest worth mentioning. This cir cumstance will pave the way for the holding of a county . convention, as planned, with a view to shutting out Statement No. 1 candidates for the Leg iHlature, and nipping that feature of the campaign in the bud. Plane Laid for Convention. The County Central Committee will meet here tomorrow, and it is practically certain that a county convention will be called to meet before the primaries and recommend a ticket to be voted for at the primaries. That is the plan mapped out by the political leaders who have the convention movement in charge. While it Is probable that there will be some men in the convention favorable to Statement No. 1. it is. generally Relieved that the great majority will be oppose to it. The men who go to conventions are generally strict party men and do not be lieve In pledges which will place a Re publican candidate under obligations to vote for a Democrat for Senator, should the Democrat secure the popular Indorse ment. Kor this reason it is taken as practically certain that no Statement No. 1 aspirant for nomination will stand any chance. Of course the lack of indorse ment will not bar a. candidate from run ning In the primaries, but he will have a great handicap, and. in th county, would stand small show for nomination. Convention Xot for Statement Xo.- 1. "I think there is no doubt -whatever about the result of a .conven tion," says Dr. J. N. Smith, Senator from Marlon County, and one of the leaders of the convention movement. "And I think the members of the party should support the. action of the con vention. Kor my part, if the conven tion should Indorse a ticket of State ment No. 1 candidates, I would sup port them. On the other hand. If the convention should give its approval to a list of candidates who will not take Statement No. 1, T believe Republicans who favor Statement No. 1 should and will support them In the primaries. My own opinion Is that no Statement No. 1 men will be indorsed, for nearly every Republican I talk with is op posed to jcandidates signing- that pledge." Some Opjio.sitlon Develops. There is evidence of some dissatis faction over the plan of holding a county convention, and some of the Republican leaders are fearful that the cry of "machine" and "boss rule" will be put up, with flie result that there will bo much knifing of the ticket, both In the primaries and at the poles in June. There are many who believe that no effort should yet be made to interfere with the regular workings of the direct primary law as provided for by the direct primary law, and that any effort to revive the convention system in any - form is fraught with danger to party success. But so far as public expression has been heard thus far, those who are of this opinion seem to be in the minor ity. The convention will be advocat ed upon thi! ground that it will pro mote harmony in the party. Bound to Be Some- Soreness. Since there is only one contest for nomination for a county office, there will be little opportunity for the crea tion of "soreness" by Indorsement in a convention. The only sore places Mill be those among candidates for the legislature and it is reasoned by the advocates of the convention plan that there would be some sore people anyway, and that this disagreeable and Injurious feature will not be In creasod by holding a convention. Many of the candidates look upon the convention as a means of relief from the heavy expense of a primary campaign. They believe that an In dorsement by the convention will be equal to a nomination and that they will not have to spend so much money. So far as definite action Is con reined, Marion County- has taken the lead In the movement for the holding of a convention. Since It was an nounced that a convention would be held in Marlon, political leaders in other counties have been holding telephone communications with work ers .here ami it is expected that simi lar action will be taken In other parts of the state.

There lias boon but one night this Winter when the tJovernmont thermometer registered below zero at tills point, and that was the Inst night in January, when It readied S degrees below.

(Social. ) "Rural Life in France." was the sub ject of a slereoptican lecture given before Waldo Hall Club last evening by Pro fessor E. R. Lake, Department of Forestry, in the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. The views, which were made in France by Professor Lake, emphasize the possibilities of housewives in the cultiva tion of vines, fruits and flowers of such varieties, quality and luxuriance as to make the home self sustaining. In the views, grapes were shown that command a price of $1 a bunch in Paris, and apples that find a ready sale in the same market. Homes of the peasantry 'and palaces of the wealthier classes were exhibited, showing the healthy conditions physically, financially and morally that may surround homes properly environed with cultured growth such as is possible to the average home in Western Oregon. This lecture is one of the series in troduced last Fall by Hon. Clarence L. Andrews, of Yukon, who gave a s.tereop tican evening- with the glaciers, mines, mountains, rivers and fauna of Alaska. REPCBDICAXS ARE ORGANIZING Form Clubs All Over Harney Coun ty Registration Is Slow. BURNS, Or., Feb. 7. (Special.) A movement las been started for" the or ganization of Republican clubs In all parts of Harney County, and a meeting to formulate the Burns Club is called for Saturday evening. February 15. One day's circulation of the call resulted in over 90 signatures and there is genuine enthusiasm, which extends all over the county. The registration of voters is proceed ing slowly. At the end of four weeks only 148 voters had registered at the County Clerk's office, but returns had not been received from outlying districts where notaries and Justices are doing the registration. Of the 148 on record, 86 are Republicans. 56 are Democrats,, three are Prohibitionists and t,hree refuse to de clare themselves. The sentiment in this county seems to be strong for the return of Senator Ful ton to the Senate and the primaries will likely show a large vote for him. There are about 600 Republicans in the county, but it is not likely they will, all vote In the primaries. WORK OX NEW POWER PLANT Current to 'Be Supplied From Mol- lalla River Near Canby. CANBY, Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.) Can by's new power plant, to be situated on the Molalla River, fome three miles from town, and called the Molalla Power Com pany, is assuming definite form.

Hurst, and Mr. Hurst is meeting with great encouragement In starting the enterprise; it is proposed to move the plant now located at Aurora, which Is run by steam and supplies several towns with light, to the new site and run it by water power, which will reduce the ex penses to a minimum and allow a day current for the use of small manufac turers and thus build up the small towns along the railroad.- The new plant will have plenty of capacity and supply New Era, Canby, Macksburg, Barlow, Aurora and Hubbard.

CHEIIALIS, Wash.; Feb. 6. The Port land Express, No. 7, due in Portland at 4:30 this afternoon, and known as the ac commodation train between Seattle and Portland, was wrecked a mile and a quar ter north of tfhehalis at noon. It was one of the Northern Pa i Ac's most remarkable wrecks, in. that only two or three slight Injuries were received, although every car left the track and. all but one went to the bottom of the bank, which at that point Is 10 or 12 feet high. U. S. Pendergast, of Tacoma, sustained a slight injury to his knee. Mrs. C. L. Pender, who was lying on a cot in the baggagecar, was thrown from It and bruised. These are said to be the only casualties worth mentioning. The supposed cause of the derailment is a broken axlo on the mallear. The tearing up of the ties Indicated that this was what 'happened. The tender went off on the east side of the track; the mail car, two baggage cars, smoker , and one day coach were ditched on the west side. The second day coach went partly down. The diner and observation car did not leave the track. . Physicians hurried by special train from Centralis, three miles -distant, but were not needed. Mrs. Finder lives on Lincoln Creek, near Centralis. . She was on her way to Winlock In charge of Drs." Livingstone and Moser. Trunks were piled all around her, but she was not touched by any of them. The Wain was running about 10 miles an hour. MORE STUDEXTS AT PACIFIC Semester Opens W ith Brighter Out look Higher Athletic Standard. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, 'Forest Grove, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The new semester onens with increased attendance. Presi dent W. N. Ferrin addressed the stu dents upon "the value of good, consistent work." Rev. C. Clapp, a prominent Con gregational minister oT Oregon, dwelt upon the importance of the concentrated efforts of students. Mr. Fulsome based his remarks upon the valne of character building In our college life; Pacific Uni versity has changed from the three-term plan to the semester plan. It is thought this plan will accommodate students who finish work from the high school In the mid-year. Each year Pacific passes rulings to aid in raising the standard of scholarship in the institution. .A recent ruling makes it impossible for a student to compete in any Intercollegiate contest whose grades are not up to the standard. By a recent Increase of.J25.000 in the endowment fund, & new choir of Biblical literature is to be added to the uni versity. Keeping Open Hoiur.
