lican parly of the state, to hn up every

Ihjiuc has bi'fii InsirumcntHl in forcing
the regular orison izai km of the party
into holding tho primaries in every dis
trict of the stale with the exception of
the Third Conn essinnal. In this district
the. machine has refused to conduct tho
elections, announcing that It will appoint
the delicatea t" the Mtate convention.
The 73 votes of the district ai-e enougii
to give the machine a 11 g lead, anl tho
leaaue has decided to mt the issue.
Accordingly. ihe'lTHgue will conduct
primaries on its own account In that dis
trict, and will demand a place for tho
delegates ejected in the Flat convention.
Should the machine be in control and re
fuse to seat them, the matter will be car
ried direct to the National convention In
i'hicag .
righting In t.illett'f. 1 ouuty.
The league has sent some 1 of its
ablest speakers intu various portions of
the state, and the stumping Is now on
with as much oawpy a.s though it were
the. eve of a National election. The
league has decided to Invade the "sit
tight" district of Humboldt County.
tJovernor iillett and George Knight arc
from Kureka. and for years have held the
county solid. Both Gillett and Knight
are wheel horses of the machine, and
there is a general belief that they will be
able to deliver the county to the ma
chine. Nevertheless .the league will
press the fight there, not only with the
purpose of electing its own delegates, but
with the further object" of laying the
foundation for an attack on Congressman
Kngelbright. whom the league hopes to
defeat for re-election. .
, Among the league speakers who are
now touring the state are Assemblyman
A- M. Drew, of Kresno County: Charles
Vheeler. of San Francisco, one of tho
best-known attorneys of the state: Ches
ter Rowel I. of Fresno, editor of the Re
publican; W. R. Davis. ex-Mayor of Oak
land and the watch dog of tho Oakland
waterfront; Frank P. Devlin, president of
the league and Republican leader of Val
lejo, and Mayor White, of Sacramento.
Both Sides Organize Clubs.
District clubs have been organized In
San Francisco and other large centers
of population. Rut while the league has
been active, the regulars have been by no
means- idle. The machine has matched
the league club for club. Moreover, the
regulars have worked with great skill to
discredit the league. First they stated
that It was n scheme to elect Rudolph
Rpreckels I nlted States Senator.
Ppreckels put this at reft by stating that
he was not in politics and would not ac
cept office of any sort. Then the report
was set afloat that it was an adjunct of
the Western Pacific. This has been
quieted by as vigorous action against any
dictation by the Western Pacific as by
the Southern Pacific
Although the league has assumed
healthy proportions and may secure the
next legislature, its real trials will come
only after it has gained control. In ex
panding. It has taken in many elements
not altogether harmonious, although at
present all are working to a common
end.
Already speculation has begun as to the
choice of the league for the Senatorshlp.
In the first place. Senator Perkins will
not be an easy ma a to defeat. He has
many friends within the league Itself.
The league men frequently mentioned in
connection with the Senatorship include
Charles S. Wheeler. Chester Rowell. ex
Governor Pardee and W. R. Davis. How
ever, it is too early even to figure upon
possibilities.
A change of sentiment at the National
capital has placed within the reach of
the city of San Francisco T.ake Kleanor
and the Iletch Hetchy Valley reservoir
rights for a water supply. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield have
both agreed that San Francisco may
avail Itself of these mountain sources
whenever it desires. The task of bring
ing the water from the Sierras Is of tre
mendous proportions and the legal entan
glements to be solved are of a perplexing
variety. It will be many years before
anything positive can be accomplished.
However, the acquisition of the Hetch
Hetchy rights will work a benefit to the
city In another way. It will always stand
as a possible substitute for Spring Val
ley, the local monogoly. and may induce
that corporation to reduce Its selling
price to a sum close to that at whlehjthe
city Is willing to buy.
The Vnlversity of California has just
completed an arrangement by which the
college work la separated Into two dis
tinct divisions, with the break between
the second and third years. A new ar
rangement Is In process vf completion for
entrance which will, give the students
wider latitude in the qualifications that
they may ofjfer. At the present time the
requirements are strictly IM down, but
in the amended regulations provision will
be made by which the student may offer
any one of a large number of combina
tions of studies.
At Stanford, as pointed out by Tresi
dent Jordan In his speech in the North
west, a scheme of more ambitious pro
portions is under way. Jordan proposes
eventually to do away altogether with
the freshmen and sophomore years, to
throw that work upon the high schools
and smaller colleges, and to care for only
junior, senior and graduate workt Stan

it was proposed by the anti-Boume
men to support Patterson for chairman

cessions from Cake, Including the in
dorsement of Taft, as the most direct
way to repudiate Brurne. . Whljtpered
consultations were held between the rival
elements and Anally the Cake . people

Chairman Cake's Position.
"As I have repeatedly announced,' said
Chairman Cake, after the meeting had
adjom-ned, "I am interested first. last and
all of the time In the candidacy and elec
tion of my brother to the Senate. It Is
for that reason I have sought in every
possible way to avoid any of the compli
cations that were certain to result trom
an active participation in tne organisa
tion either of the state central committee,
or the state convention. Thus far 1 have
kept my hands entirely off the contro

"As to the attitude of the members of
the state central committee towards Mr.
Bourne, I have nothing to say. It is
a matter for them to settle. The same Is
SENATOR BOIRXK DOUBTS THE

ORFXJONIAN . NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. April 29. Senator
Bourne was this evening informed by
an Orftgontan correnpondent that the
Republican state central committee
- at today' meeting in Portland had
declared unanimously for Tart. For
a moment Senator Bourne thought
deeply and mad. no comment but
finally declared: "I do not believe
It. t don't se how th. committee
could have had a meeting. I think .
there must be some mistake. If there
had been a meeting I should have
had a telegram."

true as to the selection of delegates from
this state to the National convention.
Personally. I have not the slightest in
terest in this contest and it remains for
the members of the state convention to
decide whether a Bourne or an anti-Bourne
delegation to Chicago shall be selected.
"As chairman of the state committee I
shall labor to the best of my ability to
bring about the election of H. 1. Cake
for Senator and the election of every
other candidate on the Republican ticket.
But that will be the extent of any ac
tivities. I shall have nothing to do
with the contest between (Mr. Bourne and
those who oppose him for control of the
state convention and the selection either
of delegates to the National convention
or for Presidential electors."
Secretary Young Will Not Talk.
John C. Young, private secretary to
Senator Bourne declined to discuss the
action of the committee when seen at
his offices in the Chamber of Commerce
building. "I had not heard what the
committee did." remarked Mr. Young,
when asked for an expression on the
indorsement of Taft by the committee.
"He Inquired how many members of the
committee attended the meeting and
when told that 20 of the 33 counties in
the state were represented, concluded the
interview by Intimating that the action
of the committee was of little concern
to him. He refused to discuss . the sub
ject further or to say whether, or not
Senator Bourne would redouble his ef
forts to secure control of the state con
vention 1n the Interest of his plan for an
uninstructed delegation to the Chicago
convention.
Cake Opposes Exclusion ol Press.
Secretary Spencer had scarcely called
the meeting to order, when Williams, of
Polk, seconded by Brown, of Clatsop,
proposed that the committee go into ex
ecutive session, excluding from the room
all persons that were not entitled to
seats as committeemen in person or by
proxy. The motion prevailed and the
hall was about to be cleared, when Cake,
of Multnomah, protested against so
sweeping an action. "This is a meeting
for the transaction of business of great
interest to the public" said he, "and It
is only right that the proceedings should
be given publicity. There is nothing to
withhold and I shall oppose the exclu
sion of members of the press." The press
was excepted from the operation of the
resolution, but other non-members of the
committee were obliged to retire.
C. E. Cochran, of Union pounty,
placed W. M. Cake in nomination for
chairman. The nomination was sec
onded by C. X. McArthur, who held the
proxy of W. W. Stelwer, of Wheeler
County, and on motion of George,
Chandler, of Baker County, Mr. Cake
was declared the unanimous choice of
the committee. Otis Patterson was
unanimously elected secretary, having
been nominated by R. R. Butler, who
held 'the proxies of Lee Moorehouse. of
Umatilla County, and M. Fltzmaurice,
of Gilliam County.
Chairman Cake Talks.
"Aside from a consideration of party
loyalty," said Chairman Cake, in ac
knowledging his thanks for the elec
tion, "I have a natural and logical in
terest In the selection of the Republi
can candidate for Senator by the popu
lar vote of the people in June. It Is
not alone because of the close relation
ship between me and the candidate, but
because I believe that he is a fit man
for the Republican party to support for
the offloa. He should not only be se
lected by a majority of the votes in
June, but by a Republican majority.
It is not a mere matter of the election
of the party's candidate for Senator
that should be considered; his election
by a unanimous majority would mean
the re-establishing of the party in the
confidences of the people. On the other
hand, as the result of the election of a
Democratic Senator. Oregon would be
denominated throughout the country
as a Democratic state.
"The primary election has settled all
differences within the party. It matters
not to me whether the candidates on
Keirous women should profit
by Mrs. Burton's experience with
Lydia, E. Pinkham's. Compound.

TRANSFER THE-CONVENTION
Movement to Have Democrats Meet
in Seattle May 25.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 29. (Spe
cial.) Seattle Democrats have inaugu
rated a movement to have the state
committee transfer the state conven
tion from Spokane to Seattle and post
pone the meeting until May 25 or 26
In order that the delegates may reach
Seattle at the time the Atlantic fleet
Is here. John Y. Terry. National com
mitteeman from this state, is at the
head of the movement. Van R. Pier
son, committeman from King County,
has been asked to take the matter up
with the state committee. A much
larger crowd, it is believed, could be
induced to Me to Seattle during the
visit of the fleet than would go to Spo
kane. The proposition is expected to
meet with opposition east of the moun
tains, as Spokane has no entertained
a state convention for several years.
Exploding; Mine Kills Seamen.
