SEEK FOR CONTROL
OF LEGISLATURE
Democrats Will Join Hands
With Statement One
Nominees.
EXPECT TO DEFEAT CAKE
"With Statement One Republican
Nominee, Only Few Democrats
Need to Be Elected to Give
Them the Whip Hand.
Kiection of four or five Democratic
legislators In addition to all the
Statement-one Republican nominees
would give the Legislature wholly to
the control of the Statement-one
forces. Pledged to Statement-one are
S3 Republican nominees and nine or
t;n holdover State Senators. This
total of 42 or 43 almost reaches the
4t votes needed In the Legislature to
elect a United States Senator.
Democrats are now surveying: the
Mate to see where they have a g-ood
i lianre of defeating anti-Statement
Republican nominees for the Legis
lature. Such nominees, if elected,
would not vote for ChamDerlain for
L'nited States Senator, even though he
were the "people's choice," at the
June election, since he 1s a Democrat.
Meiice Chamberlain's followers want
kb many of them defeated as possible.
Chamberlain's followers are jubilant
over the prospect of his defeating H.
M. Cake, the Republican nominee. They
say they see not so many obstacles to
ward bra ting Cake as in securing a
Stat-ement-one majority of the Iegis
lnture and in holding the Republican
members of that majority to their
pledge.
Opposition Gets Majority.
While Statement No. 1 cut a wide
wath in the Republican primaries last
Friday, It failed to prevent the oppo
sition candidates from winning a ma j
sority or the Legislative nominations
throughout the state. In only six or
seven, counties did It win a sweeping
victory Multnomah, in which 14
Sta tement candidates were nominated
out of 18; Clackamas. In which three
were nominated, all Statement men;
Douglas, in which two Statement men
were nominated out of three, and one
joint candidate with Jackson ; Union
and Wallowa, in which three State
ment tnn were nominated : Benton,
whose one Representative candidate Is
pledged to the Statement; likewise Co
'umbia. which has one seat In the
Legislature.
These counties made 25 of the 33
Statement Xo. 1 nominations In the
state. The eight other Statement
nominations were in counties which
were divided with anti-Statement nom
inees. The total nominations for the
Legislature were 75. Less than a ma
jority of the Republican nominees for
the Legislature, therefore, are pledged
to vote, as to United States Senator,
for Governor Chamberlain, should he
defeat H. M. Cake in the June election.
Counties Against Statement.
In Washington and Clatsop Coun
ties. Statement No. 1 was completely
defeated. Linn nominated two anti
Statement men out of three: Marion
nominated tliree anti-Statement men
out of five; Lane nominated two anti
Statement men out of three: Jose
phine, two out of three; Coos and
Curry, two out of three; Wasco, two
out of three.
Tn a number of counties there were
no statement No. l candidates. Coos
and Curry had none for their two
cents in the House of Representatives;
Jackson had none for Us two seats in
that body; Tarn hill none for Its two;
Tillamook none for Its one; Crook.
Klamath. Grant and Laxe. none fox
their two places; Morrow and Umatilla,
none for their one: Baker, none for Its
one; Harney and Malheur, none for
their one; Gilliam. Sherman and
Wheeler, none for their two.
Democrats will make snarp fights
In some of these counties for election
of Statement No. 1 legislators, pledged
thereby to vote for Governor Cham
berlain. COMMITTEES WILL ORGANIZE
Republicans and Democrats to Get
Down to Work.
C. M. Idteman, chairman of the Repub
lican County and City Central Com
mittee, wtjl today issue a call for the
meting of the new central commlueemoTi
on Wednesday night. Just where Ins
brand-new committeemen will gather has
not yet been decided upon, but It will be
held at the 3elling-Hirch hall, provided
It can be had for ihe meeting. All told
there are 115 committeemen in the city
and county, but for some reason, eight
of the precincts did not name candidates.
During the campaign there was a hot
fight for the control of the Central Com
mittee, carried on by the Idlema-i fjrtts
and F. R. Reed. The Idleman forces.
headed by Max Cohen, claim to have
wrtn out In the battle and are claiming
between 90 to 9o of the committeemen,
leaving 14 to the Reed forces.
At the meeting Wednesday night a new
chairman and a secretary will oe elected.
A number of the leaders among the com
mitteemen are of the opinion that the
selection of chairman should be left to
H. M. Cake, the Republican nominee for
United State Senator. There has been
some talk that an outside man was to
be named as chairman, but Max Cohen
stated last night there Is no trutn in this
statement. Just now the big war cry
among the leaders of the commit-eraci is
harmony and hard work. Reed, who Is
supposed to have been leading the op
position. Is now for Mr. Cake and has
promised to do all he can to make his
election in June sure. Reed was .ooklng
for Mr. Cake last night in order to assure
him of his support and those of the com
mitteemen lined up with him.
Several members of the commit have
been mentioned for the secretaryship. Of
the list, the name of Max Cohen seems to
be the- most prominent.
Just when the Democrats will call
together their committeemen has net bten
decided upon, but they expect to gtt into
action right away. The fight between the
Thomas forces and those led by Feery
and Dick Montague was keener among
the Democrats than that among the Re
publicans. Thomas was battling to retain
control of the committee and he claims
a victory. Montague was bcatei and so
were several other members of the Pery
force.
SURPRISED AT ELECTION
Visitor Not Accustomed to Oregon
Political Methods.
"I'v learned a lot of things about
bow th real political gams ouf ht to
b played in the last few daj-a.A said
Frank W. Middaugh. political editor of
the Spokane Daily Chronicle, last night.
"I think Oregon, and particularly Port
land, from what I have observed, has
reduced the problem of running far of
fice to an exact science. Of course, to
you people who have been having more
or less turbulent times with the pri
mary election law. Statement No. 1, and
all that sort of thing, it doesn't make
much of an impression upon you to see
IS and even S4 sheet posters on the bill
boards all over town calling attention
to some man's candidacy, but It rather
made me bat my eyes when I saw, not
only one or two- but a dozen, a score
of these glaring, lurid -agns. splattered
all over huge bill-boards right in the
middle of town: I wondered In an in
nocent sort of a way whether or not
there were some tremendously vital Is
sues at stake In the political crisis
through which you have just passed, and
1 was more than astonished to learn that
It was Just an ordinary primary election,
without any peculiarly strategic questions
Involved.
"Over in Spokane we haven't been ac
customed to such things. Now, for in
stance, I notice that the candidates have
been able to exploit all sorts of pub
licity matter about their fitness for of
fice, their intense solicitude for the sov
ereign voter and tn many Instances I
haven't even noticed that their advertis
ing matter has been starred. In our
town, and in fact in the state of Wash
ington, the candidate who advertises has
no chance of concealing the fact that
he is tooting his horn at so much p?r
line. Big black type must accompany
the reading matter stating that it Is 'po
Jltical advertising Again, every can
didate must, under a severe penalty for
infraction, file an Itemized statement for
every cent of money he has expended
during his campaign. Our law is based
on the Garfield law In Ohio, In this re
spect.1 "That is why I say you people have
laws of greater latitude than we have,
and I haven't-been able to figure out
whether they are better in practice than
ours."
Mr. Midriaugh was the girest of E. A.
Beats, district weather forecaster, while
here. He returns to Spokane this morning.
BRYANT BEATS CLEMENS
CHANGE LIKELY IX LEGISLA
TIVE TICKET.
This Will Not Affect Policy of Dele
gation, for Both Favor
Statement No. 1.
A revision of the unofficial returns for
Friday's primary election gives J. C. Bry
ant a lead over W. J. Clemens, who was
believed to have been nominated for State
Representative on the Republican ticket.
The revised returns give Bryant 6698 and
J. C. Bit ant, Who Probably Haa De
feated W. J. Clemens for State
Representative. Both Were Can
didate on Mate meat No. 1 Ticket.
Clemens 5694. and if these figures are
confirmed by the official count, Bryant
will have a place on the Representative
ticket, replacing Clemens. Otherwise the
Representative ticket will be as published
yesterday In The Oregonian.
The complexion of the Representative
ticket will not be affected by the substi
tution of Bryant for Clemens, both ha--ing
been candidates on the Statement No.
1 ticket. There is little doubt but that
Joseph W. Beveridge, who served Mult
nomah County in the House at the 1907
session, will be the 12th candidate for
Representative. Beveridge leads McMil
lan, the next high candidate, by a major
ity of 184. and It is not probable the re
sult will be changed by the official can
vass which will be begun today by Coun
ty Clerk Fields, assisted by Justices Fred
L. Olson and William Reid. With the
probable exchange of Clemens for Bryant
on the Representative ticket, it is not
believed the final count will effect any
changes In the list of successful candi
dates as published yesterday morning.
STUDY RIGHTS OF NATIONS
International Iaw Society Aims to
rrevent Wars. .
WASHINGTON. April 19. To develop
interest and Instruct the popular mind
on subjects pertaining to the relations
of the United States with the other na
tions of the world. Is the ambitious un
dertaking of the American Society of
International Law, which is to hold Its
second annual conference here Friday
and Saturday. That the ambition of the
society is being realized Is evidenced by
the 800 members enrolled and the wide
circulation of the American Journal of
International Lam-, published quarterly
by the organization.
Secretary of State Ellhu Root, who is
president of the society, has taken a
keen Interest in its development, which
he regard as highly Important to the
Nation, in view of the increase of pop
ular control over National conduct
which marks the political development
of the time. The principal plank in the
platform of the society Is. in the words
of Mr. Root:
-That the great body of the people
In each country should have a just con
ception of their International rights and
duties." On this point, Jlr. Root says:
Governments do not make war nowadays
unlens urd. of general and hearty sup
port among th.ir people; and it sometime,
happen, that government, ar. driven into
war airainst th.tr will bjr th. preawre of
vtronirer popular f!lng. It 1. not uncom
mon to s two government, striving in 4he
mot consistent and patient way to settle
om. matter of difference peaceably, while
a large part of th. people in both countries
maintain an uncompromising and belligerent
attitude. Insisting upon extreme and utter
most view, of their own rights in a w.y
whtch. If it were to control National action,
would render an amicable settlement Impossible.

SMALL VOTE GUST
About 68 Per Cent of Repub
licans Went to Polls.
RAINY DAY THE CAUSE
Lack of Candidates on .Ticket the
Reason for Democratic Apathy.
Table Shows Registration
and Number of Ballots.
With a party registration of 24.666 in
Multnomah County, the Republicans In
Friday's primary election cast a total
vote of 1S.KB, or 68 per cent of their reg
istered strength. The total Democratic
vote has been reported In only 1 of the
114 precincts of the county. It aggregates
1946, or 37 per cent of the total registra
tion of 5137 for the entire county.
Both parties cast the heaviest vote in
the West Bide precincts wljile the Repub
lican vote in the country precincts ex
ceeded the general average of 68 per cent
for the county. The principal falling off
In the vote both of the Republican and
Democratic parties was in the East Side
where, in several precincts, the Republi
cans did not cast to exceed 50 per cent of
the registered vote while less than 30
per cent of the registered Democrats ex
pressed a prefernce for the party's candi
dates The fact that the Democrats did
not have a complete ticket in the field,
there being no opposition to the candi
dates whose names appeared on the bal
lot is considered responsible for the light
primary vote of the minority party.
The following table shows the total reg
istration of both parties for the primary
election and the total vote cast by each

SPECIAL NOTICE
To the Stockholders of THE NORTHWESTERN EXPLORATION. AND DEVELOPMENT
CO., of the United States and the Public in General:
The company has recently, secured 400.000 acres of hardwood tim
ber, situated on the Pacific Coast, and accessible by an exceptional deep
river system. This immense and valuable tract contains more than four
billion feet of. the finest kind of hardwoods, high-priced, merchantable
timber, and the cost to the company is less than twenty eents per
thousand feet.
Among the best qualities of this timber we mention lignum ritae,
mahogany, balsam copoeba, cocoa bola, espava, mangrove, etc. The
average price of this timber by the board foot is over one hundred dol
lars per thousand feet. The company proposes to install a mill of suf
ficient capacity to meet the present demand for this fine lumber, which
is enormous. ,
In order to secure the necessary capital for this purpose, the board
of direcjors has authorized the sale of 500,000 shares of the treasury
stock, of a par value of $1.00, for twenty cents pet; share.
It is important to note here that each twenty cents invested in a
share of this stock is secured by 1000 feet of standing, high-grade, mer
chantable timber, valued at mops than $100. Here is an investment for
rich and poor alike. There is absolutely no risk attached to it. The
company could, at this time, dispose of this timber at a good profit as it
stands, but-after thoroughly investigating every detail through experts,
the board of directors deem it advisable to the best interests of all con
cerned to install a mill, thereby securing the largest profits obtainable.
We are already assured of contracts with firms throughout the coun
try, who will purchase a large portion of our output, and at prices which
will net us profits that are remarkable.
Persons interested and desiring to invest their money in a safq$ big
dividend-payiDg business, will do well to investigate this opportunity.

EARLY ELECTION REPORTS.
Big Lead in Lane County Make
Practically Certain the. Elec
tion of T. K. Campbell.
More complete returna received yes
terday from counties in which the to
tal count had not already been re
ported make no material change in
the results of Friday's primaries. It
It is still evident that H. M. Cake, for
United States Senator, will have a lead
of about 300" over Charles W. Fulton,
and W. R. Ellis, for Congressman in'
the Second District, and .1. W. Bailey,
for Food and Dairy Commissioner, will
lead their respective opponents by ap
proximately the margins Indicated by
the earlier returns published in The
Oregonian.
The most important result of the
fuller returns received yesterday was
to mske practically certain the nomi
nation of Thomas K. Campbell as Rail
road Commissioner in the First Dis
trict. The first reports- gave promise
of a very close race between Mr. Camp
bell, who is 'the present Commissioner,
and William A. Carter. With the count
available Saturday, Mr. Campbell's lead
was leBS than 200. but this was yes
terday Increased to 747. His big gain
was in Lane County, where Campbell
received 1248 votes and Carter 310.
Jackson County, which it was believed
Carter would carry, has given a small
lead to his opponent. Campbell's vote
now stands- at $927 and Carter's at
6180.

County, from all except two precincts on
state offices and from all but one precinct
on all other nominations, have been re

votes, has not reported and returns will
be delayed three or four days by reason
of the "distance of about 110 miles and
roundabout ways by which the returns

nearly all Republican and It is unlikely
that any change in the result will be

SHARE
We have polished samples of these hardwoods, cut from this property,
on exhibition at our office. Call and look them over, and you will read
ily perceive the value of this timber.
We will be pleased to furnish any information you may desire. Our
experts' and cruisers' reports, men of wide experience and accepted as
authorities in the timber world, are open to your inspection. The price
of this stock, 20c per share, will be but for a limited time. We expect to
be paying dividends in less than a year. The price of the stock will
surely advance rapidly, so take advantage of this 20c price while you may.
We would call your attention to the fact that the manufacture of
lumber has been, and always will be, a big- dividend-paying investment.
Thousands of people have grown rich by placing their money in lumber
manufacturing industries. The opportunities are not so plentiful now for
the public as in the past, and we are certain that the low price of this
stock will be rapidly taken advantage of, so do not delay but subscribe
at once.
The supply of hardwood falls short of the demand all over the civi
lized world. We have a market for our product at every seaport.
The financial end of this proposition is as follows: The cost of this
entire tract of timber and installation of the mill, the cutting, logging
and milling of the lumber, will not average over $25.00 per thousand
feet aboard ship. Conservatively estimated the net profits on each 1000
feet of lumber milled will be over $40.00.
Our books are now open for subscriptions for this stock at the above
quoted price of twenty cents per share. Persons desiring further in
formation should call at our office or write for same. In making pay
ment for subscriptions remit by check or money order, payable to E. M.
Douglas, Secretary.

Dr. Dyott Conducts Special Service
At First Congregational.
At the eervlces yesterday morning tn
the First Congregational Church, Dr. Lu
ther R. Dyott chose as his theme 4A Liv
ing Hope." At night Dr. Dyott spoke on

Dearborn Schwab, soprano; Miss Petro
nella Conolly, contralto: Dr. George
Alnslle. tenor; Stuart McGulre, bass; Miss
Elizabeth Konrad. organist: Professors

At the conclusion of the morning serv

ott, and 47 others were received Into the
membership of the congregation. Since
the arrival of Dr. Dyott several months
ago. over 100 persons have joined the
church. Several applications for mem
bership are now on file.
In his address last night Dr. Dyott said
In part:
The Easter spirit Is characterised, by
Inspiration, activity and celerity, it la an
Inspiration born of God and, with the per
fectly open mind, where superstition and
doubt and fear no longer harbor. It says to
all who are willing to hear and heed and
see the eseentlaj life and facta of Christian
ity, come and see. The place which held
that which seemed to he dead, haa a chal
lenging vacuity. Empty philosophies) and a
dead past proclaim that something is gone.
Some would tell d that the religion which
Jesus gave the world la gnne, hut that is
not so. It haa risen from the grave of the
past, and Ha greatest victories are yet to be
won. Here we must. And our power, our
place, our prerogative, anVl like thoee who
heard the Easter meaeage on that mem
orable morning, we must go quickly and tell
the good new of tho gospel, and thus) share
In the triumph ami Joys of our risen Lord.
