In the Hodson camn there has been
a long wrangle over K. K. Kubli. can
didate for Representative. Kubli was
vouched for by the Bailey wing of
this camp, but the other wing, headed
by Hodson and S. C. Beach, has want
ed him to withdraw. This Kubli has
stoutly refused to do and has been
backed up by Bailey. Kubli is regard
ed by various persons in that camp as
the weak member of the ticket and he
was asked to make way for a stronger
man, Charles Cleveland, of Gresham.
Kubli wus a Lane supporter for
Mayor, worked hard for election of the
Democratic candidate and bet heavily
on the election. These matters have
been brought up against Kubli. but he
is not dismayed by the fight that will
be made en him in consequence.

Captain Frank Dowell, of Truck Company No. 1. and Captain Jay
W. Stevens, of Chemical No. 2, of the Portland fire department, are
the successful candidates for the two vacant positions of battalion
chief of the department, for which positions civil service examina
tions were held several weeks ago. Captain Dowell, who acted as chief
of the department at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds in 190.. and
has several times been acting chief of the Portland department,
payed with the highest percentage of all who took the examina
tions. His average perfection in the requirements of the position was
97.71 per cent, showing that he possesses a thorough knowledge of
the 'fire fighting art. Captain Stevens; who will be remembered as
the hero of the Chamber of Commerce fire, passed with a percentage
of 94.50. Dowell has been a member of the department for over 14
years, and Is a Portland boy. Captain Stevens is a younger 'man,-but
since he has been in the department has demonstrated that he is a
splendid man for the position. Captains Dillane and Hale- passed the
examination with averages of S6.05 and 84.9.r p'er cent respectively.
Captr.in Dowell will probably be appointed to take the position
formerly held by Battalion Chief Leo Holden, who resigned several
months ago, while Captain Stevens will probably take up the duties

WAR FOR C1TR0L
OF COMMITTEE
Republicans Fight for Places
on County Central Organization.
POWERFUL IN CONVENTIONS
Inrlnence of Body Is Kelt iu Con
trolling Selection of National '
Delegates and Candidates for
Presidential Electors.
Republicans are warring In Multnomah
not only for nominations in the com
ing primaries, but also for control of
the county central committee, which has
one member for each precinct. Two
years ago there wag no strife for the
committee, since it was imagined that
under the direcT primary law the "or
panlEation" is not important. But sub
frquont events have stirred the factions
to (i(tht for mastery of the party ma
chinery. The influence of the central commit
ter in the precincts is seen to be of some
Importance, especially in election of dele
gates to conventions. In the makeup of
county delegations to state and district
conventions, including: the ones soon to
he held in Oregon for choosing delegates
to the National convention and for nomi
nation of- Presidential electors, several
county organizations, acting together,
can wield some force. Besides, there
are authorities who hold that the county
central committee, under a law of 1S31.
still holds the power to fill vacancies on
the ticket. The primary law of 1305 af
firms that law, but says in another sec
tion that the central committee shall fill
a vacancy "where caused by death or
removal from the electoral district, but
not otherwise." Here is a plain conflict
between two sections of the primary law.
If the county committee can till vacan
cies on the tickets. It still possesses i
very important function.
Two-Sided Fight.
While there are four factions working
for nominations known as the Hod
son, Idleman, Chapln and MeCus
ker factions each working for a
separate ticket there are but two
groups In the fight for the county
organization. On the one side Is the
so-called Hodson contingent; on the
other the Jdlernan and the Chapln camps,
idleman. as chairman of the present
county central committee, heads the ele
ment that seeks to keep control of the
"organization." While it is perhaps too
much to say that the county central
committee as a body is engaging in the
fight, the fact remains that the mem
bers of the committee are working to
maintain themselves in power'. In the
same way the influence of the Union
Republican Club is exerted In this di
rectionthrough the individual work of
Its leading members.
Kor the 116 precinct places on th
county committee, about 125 men have
filed notice of their intention to run
in the primaries in tholr respective
precincts. It is expected that the
number will be swelled to moro than
1'00. Nearly all the candidates for the
precinct places represent one of the
two factions that are striving for
mastery of the county organization.
For example, in Precinct 6, J. J. Brown
hails from the Idleman camp and
William Feustel from the Hodson
ramp; in Precinct 71, J. F. Sinnott from
Iho Idleman faction and S. J. Jones
the Hodson faction. In some of the
other precincts the rivals in the sam
order are: Precinct 79. E. C. Bobbins
nn.l F. E. Reed: Precinct 94. Woodstock,
tV. G. Carlisle and C. IV Spaulding;
Pi-ccinct 102, Troutdale, T. "V. Corder
and .lames II. Hoyt; Precinct 103,
Powell Valley. W. W. Clark and H. P.
Clulstensen: Precinct 109. Linnton. A.
.1. Van Potdah and Jefferson Brooks;
Precinct S3, J. V. Singer and James
Warner; Precinct 34, A. J. Fanno and
W. J. Beutclspacher: Precinct 36, E.
Beach and W. P. Swope; Precinct 39,
Frank Hummell and K. J. Finely: Pre- !
cinct 43. J. F. Kertchem and . H. S.
1'pham: Precinct 45, T. H. Compton and
II. J. Wehoffer: Precinct 46. M. G. Grif
rin and H. W. Strong: Precinct 47. O. A.
Peck and Thomas Sweenes; Precinct
i:, P. O. Brcslin and Thomas Hlslop.
light for County Convention.
These are but a few of the precincts
where the fight is growlng-hot. Should
the Idleman candidates, or a majority of
them who are, running for places on
thr committee, be defeated, the present
Organization" will be overturned.
As Multnomah's delegation to the
Republican state convention will be.
the largest in tha state, it is important
tor the purpose of each faction, to
control the county convention agai.ist
Its rival. The element that dominates
the central committee will have an ad
vanage In controlling the election of
delegates to the county convention in
the several precincts. The big prizes
to be contended for are the choosing
of four National delegates-at-large in
the state convention, the selecton of
two National delegates in the conven
tion of the Second Congressional Dis
trict convention and the nomination of
Presidential electors in the state con
vention. Should any vacancies occur
In the county ticket after the pri
maries, on account of withdrawal of
nnv nominee, the county committee
will probably fill the ticket, under sec
tion 2S03 of the statutes, which has
not been repealed by the primary law,
according to some authorities.

than temporary relief.
"Now, during all this time and for
about 30 years previously, I drank daily
an average of 6 cups of strong coffee

apparently growing stronger with ad

ment-one ticket is, a question bothering
the MeCusker forces, in boosting "peo
ple's choice' over Republican voters'
choice for United States Senator. Several
candidates have presented themselves for
nomination on that ticket whom fhe Me
Cusker element does not want, because
they do not represent substantial inter
ests. Their presence on the ticket, it is
feared, will split up the Statement-one
vote and endanger the ticket's success.
Among the unwelcome men are Ralph C.
Clyde, candidate- for State Senator.
Several Weak Candidates.
Several of the Representative candi
dates are regarded as weak, and stronger
men may be put up to run against them.
The Statement-one candidates thus far
filed for Representatives are: W. J.

K. CL Couch, J. Fred Wilkins, Charles J.
McDonald, J. C. Bryant, A. "W. Orton and
J. F. Cassidy. Dr. L. M. Davis will also
run for the House. John D. Wilcox may
run for State Senator.
The ticket of the Chapin,-Lockwood
camp put forth by the Portland Re
publican Club, of which Chapin is
president and Lockwood Is secretary,
met poor success yesterday. These .two
men, together with McKinley Mitchell,
made the rounds of the business streets
seeking to persuade their ticket selec
tions to run, but the invited ones shied
Tuesday night and commended by reso
lution. W. H. Chapin is president of the
Club and Charles E. Lockwood secretary.
They hope to make the resolution the
forerunner of' a .Taft movement in this
state. The resolution is as follows:
The Republican Club of Portland, Or., re
affirms It 3 loyalty to Theodore Roosevelt
and would have been glad to hav seen him
nominated for another term as per our
resolutions of a former meetine. We are,
however; fully .convinced that this is no
longer likely, and wishing to see his policies
carried forward fully and completely, we
feel that no other person is as certain to
work out the great problems which he has
inaugurated as the man whom he Is known
to favor for nomination as President.- This
club therefore puts itself sQuarely on rec

-State Prohibitionists Will Hold
Convention Tomorrow.
MEET 'lN LOCAL CHURCH
Probable That Delegates Will Pledge
Support to Certain Candidates
Already in Field for
- County Olficcs.
Encouraged by the success of the local
option movement in this state, the Pro
hibitionists of Multnomah County and the
state at large will meet tomorrow in
mass- convention, in the First United
Brethren Church, Kast Fifteenth and
Iiast Morrison streets, for the purpose of
nominating complete state, district and
county tickets. The call for tije masB
meeting-, which must be attended by at
least 100 persons, was issued by E. G.
Baton, chairman of the Prohibition
county central committee for Multnomah
County.
X. A. Davis, of Milton, will probably
be the choice of the assembly for Rep
resentative from the Sacond Congres
sional District. The Prohibitionists of
the First Congressional District will hold
a similar mass meeting at Newberg to
day for the purpose of selecting a candi
date for Congress. It is possible the
Slultnomah County mass meeting- will not
nominate a full county ticket. In that
event, the question of indorsing certain
candidates already in the field, probably
Tom Word, for Sheriff, and Judge E. C.
Bronaugh for. Circuit Judge, will be
brought up. Chairman Eaton predicts
that the mass meeting in its platform will
indorse Statement No. 1 and declare for
proportional representation.
The mass meeting also will be expected
'to indorse the National Issue Movement,
a plan adopted by the National Prohi
bitionists and which proposes the pledg
ing of voters not to support either for
President, or for Vice-President any can
didate that does not approve of the prin
ciple of prohibition. Some plan will be
devised for circulating these pledges gen
erally throughout the state, on the theory
that the greater number of signatures
that are .secured the greater will be the
influence that can be exerted in the Ke
publlcaif and Democratic National con
ventions next Summer.
Tho Prohibitionists are actively assist
ing in the work of the Anti-Saloon League
which expects to hold local option elec
tions in every county in the state next June
in an effort to extend the -dry" district. A
central committee from the Anti-Saloon
League, the W. C. T. U. and the party
Prohibitionists, has been formed to have
general supervision of the local option
campaign in the state. The- purpose of
this organization is to avoid, all friction
and duplication of work by the different
organizations which are banded together
for the one purpose of restricting the
liquor traffic.

PRICES OF LOTS IN
ROSE CITY PARK
ABOUT TO BE RAISED
All inside lots in blocks 131 to 137 in ROSE CITY PARK, being
that section which lies on the upper plateau, just north of The
Alameda, between Hillis and Orwita avenues, will be raised in
price from $410 and up, to $450 on April 1, 1908. These lots are
located in the most desirable part of ROSE CITY PARK, being
near The Alameda, not far from the carline, to be fully improved
and easily worth a great deal more than the figures at which they
are now held. This is the first announcement of raised prices
that we have ever made and is significant to tfiose who have con
templated purchase of property in this excellent residence section.
The time to Buy, therefore, is right now.
