BOURNE MAKING
POLITICAL FOES
sense a candidate and do not desire to
attend the convention as a delegate.
I am apparently not in harmony with
either of the conflicting factions of the
party In this state in the matter of the
Presidential succession. I am for Hughes.
He Is of and for the common people, and
his magnificent flght as Governor of New
York for righteousness and political de
cency marks him as the man the Nation
needs.
His nomination would assure a united
party throughout the Nation and he would
be triumphantly elected. He would grandly
consummate the policies of the pres
ent executive, tfnd would restore the party
to the high plane of Its Lincolnian age.
Oregon would honor herself by indors

YOUNG'S WORK FRUITLESS
Cuke Forces Also Drifting: Away and
Bourne's Efforts to Control Ore
gon Delegation Appear
to Be Hopeless.
What's the matter with Senator Bourne
that he gets under the Taft bandwagon
la Oregon, Instead of on top with the
music? This question is uppermost In
political circles. Bourne and his man
esrr, John C. Young, are driving men
from them daily, and making it impos
sible for Bourne's friends to get in the
Htate convention next week the recogni
tion that they want.
Bourne's attitude is solidifying against
him not only the Fulton element, but
also the Cake forces and the Mulkey fol
lowing. Moreover, it Is driving from him
the many-admirers of Roosevelt and Taft
who regard Bourne's persistent booming
of Roosevelt as absurd In the face of
Roosevelt's repeated refusal and his
pledges to Taft.
Bourne has been striving for a State
convention that would choose an unin-sU-ucted
delegation to the National con
vention, with himself at the head of the
delegation and Its members in accord
with his views of "second elective term."
His resident manager, John C. Young,
has been sending out this word into the
counties. But Young's work has not
yielded the expected fruits. County after
; county has named Ta't delegations.
Delegations Favor Taft.
This has made the delegations appear
as hostile to Bourne. It Is likely, how
lever, that the delegations are not so hos
jtlle to Bourne as favorable to Taft, and
Ithat Bourne in trying to stop the Taft
I bandwagon has got under the wheels.
Bourne's enemies will be represented in
the convention his opposition to Taft
jhas given them opportunity to make war.
' Whether to instruct Oregon's delegates
tfor Taft Is yet unsettled. Bourne will side
with those opposing instructions. A con
siderable number of the Taft delegates to
the state convention oppose instructions,
saying tha the stato will get Its due rec
ognition If its National delegaes shall be
simply friends and admirers of Taft,
pledged to do what they can for Taft's
nomination. All minds agree that if Taft
cannot get the nomination, instructions
would be bad. If it shall appear certain
to a majority of the state convention that
Taft is a sure winner in the National con
vention, it will probably not be difficult to
secure an instruoted delegation.
Bourne's manager, Mr. Young, called on
Colonel D. M. Dunne, Collector of Internal
Revenue, acordlng to a widespread story
Colonel Dunne, by the way, is father of
T. Morris Dunne, Multnomah delegate to
the state convention and remarked sig
nificantly: "If a Taft delegation Is sent to the Na
tional convention, there will be something
doing in this state."
May Be Pointed Hint.
If thesa words were Intended to mean
that Colonel Dunne would lose his long
time Job as Collector, they were a rather
pointed hint.
According to another widespread story.
Young met a Fulton worker with this
remark:
"If Taft Is nominated, Bryan will be
elected."
"Do you mean by that," Young was
asked, "that Mr. Bourne would support
Bryan again?"
"I am not saying what Mr. Bourne will
do or will not do." was the answer.
If Bourne wants friends in the state
convention he is pursuing a rather
queer way to obtain them. He has
done nothing to "pacify" the Fulton
element nor the Mulkey following, and
his attitude as to the election of Cake
XTnlted States Senator is making him
foes in the Cake camp.
To the Cake men Bourne appears to
be doing little or nothing for Cake's
success. Many of the Cake men even
fceliove that Bourne secretly wants
Chamberlain elected, because that
would give Bourne control of Federal
patronage in this state and rank him
Jlrst in Oregon's politics in the Na
tional Capital.
Basis of Mulkey's Enmity.
In the Mulkey ranks the story is
told that Bourne promised Mulkey fu
ture support two years ago, and that
for this reason Mulkey ran for the
short term and refused to get in
Kburne's way for the long term. The
agreement was that Mulkey was to
have Bourne's support to succeed Ful
ton. But Bourne forgot his side of the
compact and when Mulkey was running
last Summer and Fall for Fulton's
place, -Bourne gave him no aid what
ever. Mulkey, on withdrawing from
the race, said he did so because of not
receiving expected support from the
Statement One forces. That remark
was aimed at Bourne.
Mulkey has since joined the camp
that is whetting knives for Bourne's
scalp. Although Mulkey was persist
ently urged to run against Bourne for
the long term In the primaries two
years ago and then to try for election
by the Legislature, he declined even to
consider the proposition. One of his
friends, commenting on those events,
said yesterday:
"Fred turned away from the oppor
tunity of his life. Opportunity like
that comes to few men."
The enmity of the Futon camp
toward Bourne Is of long standing.
That it will continue there Is no room
for doubt. That it will make Fulton a
rival of Bourne's four years hence is
altogether probable.
Added to these hostile elements'
against Bourne pow are the Taft men,
who regard Bourne as the foe of the
big Secretary.
Supporters of the Taft boom say
Bourne will have hardly a corporal's
Kuard in the state convention. The'y
claim the following counties: Clatsop,
Columbia, C003, Yamhill, Washington,
Benton, Marlon, Linn, Lane, Douglas,
Josephine. Klamath, Lake, Harney,
Grant, Malheur, Sherman, Gilliam,
Wheeler, Wallowa and Wasco. Baker
County, they say, will be divided.
They concede Union, Clackamas and
Jackson, to Bourne.

TRIBUTE TO OREGON PIONEER
AND VETERAN OF INDIAN WARS
George H. Himes Writes of Andrew J. Chambers, Member of Well-Known
Family, Whose Death Occurred at Olympia April 25.
BY GBOHGE H. HIMES.
w. NDREW J. CHAMBERS, an Ore
j gon pioneer of 1845, died at his
home, six miles southeast of
Olympia. Washington, April 25, at the
age of SI years and 5 months. He was
of Irish ancestry, and was born in Gib
son County, Indiana, November 25, 1S25.
He removed with his parents to Ken
tucky in 1834 and to Missouri in 1840,
from wnich state the Chambers family,
consisting of Thomas M. Chambers and
wife, the father and mother, James, Da
vid J., Thomas J., Andrew, the subject
of this sketch, Mrs. Mary Jane Dough
erty, McLean, John and Letitia started
to Oregon on April 1, 1845, with a large
number of cattle and horses and arrived
at The Dalles on October 15. The stock
was so run down that the family re
mained at The Dalles all Winter and was
on a very short allowance of food much
of the time, the principal Item in the
bill of fare for weeks at a time being
boiled wheat. Once the wheat gave out
and nothing but starch could be obtained.
Early the following Spring the family
removed to Clackamas county and set
tled south of Oregon City on the Molalla,
remaining until the Summer of 1848.
Then Andrew and his brother Thomas
went to the mines In California, the news
of the gold discovery by James W. Mar
shall and Captain Charles Bennett, both
Oregon pioneers of 1844, on January 24.
1848, having reached Oregon City in July
following. The same season the re
mainder of the family, excepting James
and Letitia, removed to Thurston county,
now in Wasnington, and the elder Cham
bers was the first settler on a prairie
six miles southeast of -Olympia, and it
has borne his name ever since. James
Chambers and his sister Letitia Bettled
on a farm in Washington county, about
ten miles west of Portland, remaining
until death. Mrs. F. A. Bailey, of HIlls
boro, is his daughter. He was connected
by marriage with the Scoggins and Corn
stock families.
Thomas, having been attacked by fever
and ague, did not remain long In the
mines and came back to Oregon on the
bark Toulon. In 1849, and that year drove
the first wagon Into the town of Olympia.
He remained in that vicinity until 1866,
when he removed to Yakima county,
Washington, where he is still living, in
his 85th year, on one of the best farms in
that region.
Andrew stayed in the mines until the
summer of 1852. and having been suc
cessful, returned to Oregon City. On
October 1, 1852, he was married to Miss
Rebecca Buckner and removed to Thur
ston county and established a home near
the other members of the family. In
about a year Mrs. Chambers died, and on
January 18, 1854, he was married to Miss
Margaret White, who survives him. al
though she has been an almost helpless
invalid for several years, by whom he
has had eight daughters, five of them
now living, as follows: Mrs. Jacob Hun

BOURNE FORCES JUBILANT
Victory, However, Is Only Partial,
as Many AVho Support Resolution
Are Ardent Admirers of
the War Secretary.
A row In Multnomah Countys' Repub
lican delegation to the state convention
last night, betweerf Bourne's workers,
who are fighting instructions for Taft,
and Fulton's followers, who seek to send
National delegates to Washington pledged
to the Big Secretary, resulted in an ap
parent victory fcr the Bourne element,
by adoption ot an anti-instruction reso
lution by a vote of 17 to 15. The remain
ing 15 Multnomah delegates were absent
or not represented.
At the end of the family Jar Delegate
S. C. Beach asked at the top of his voice:
"Will the 17 govern the other 30 Mult
nomah delegates in the state conven
tion?" The meeting adjourned without
making answer to the question.
Thero is no question that the majority
of the Multnomah delegates oppose in
structions to the National delegates in
fact 29 of them have signed a declaration
to that effect and four others have ex
pressed the same sentiment. Because this
Is what the Bourne forces want, they
represent themselves highly pleased and
say their Fulton rivals have been beaten
In Multnomah and will meet the same
fata in other counties. But a large num
ber of the 33 anti-instruction delegates in
Multnomah are supporters of Taft. So
are a clear majority, of the Multnomah
delegates. This makes the Fulton men
gleeful, and they say that Bourne has
been beaten to 'a standstill. As 'a matter
of fact, the victory is neither Bourne's nor
Fulton's, but Taft's.
Partial Victory for Each.
In so far as Bourne opposes Taft in
structions, he wins; but in so far as 'he op
poses Taft, he loses. In so far as Fulton
supports Taft he wins, bat in so far as he
strives for Taft instructions he loses.
Such Is the outcome in Multnomah. The
same result may prevail in the state con
vention. If last night's wrangle should be
magnified to the size of the state conven
tion, it will be a very heavy set-to. The
brethren snapped at each other like the
rivals at last week's dog show. Their
example of party harmony will be pre
sented to the state convention next Thurs
day. On the Bourne side of the wrangle
fought Thomas McCusker, A. W. Orton,
W. E. Williamson, George K. McCord
and C. V. Howard the last named of
whom introduced the resolution. On the
other side strove C. W. Hodson, W. W.
Banks, George H. Williams, C. M. Idle
man, Ben Selling, S. C. Beach, F. E.
Beach, E. A. Austin and E. C. Lindsay.
Mr. Selling's hostility to the anti-instruction
resolution Jarred the Bourne
forces severely. In the debate to lay the
resolution on the table, Mr. Selling gave
his reason as follows: ,
"I favor an instructed delegation to
the National convention. That Is State
ment No. 1 carried out to Its logical con
clusion. I am going to vote for instruc
tions because we have said that what our
constituents want, that we shall perform
(Mr. Selling was nominated as a State
ment No. 1 candidate for State Senator).
Delegates are not to vote their Individual
choice, but that of their constituents."
Selling Opposes Resolution.
Whereat Mr. McCusker, Bourne's first
representative, arose to remark that
ft

Denny, and Mrs. William Calhoun, Se
attle, Wash.; Mrs. Robert Granger, Sum
ner, Wash.; Mrs. George N. Talcott,
Wash., and Mrs. W. . T. Hosklns. Terre
Haute, Indiana, In addition to his own
family, two brothers and one sister sur
vive him, Thomas M., of Yakima county,
McLean, of Roy. Pierce county, and Mrs.
Dougherty, of Lakevlew, Pierce county,
besides his half brother Robert, of Pierce
county, and half sister, Mrs. Anderson,
of Seattle.
Mr. Chambers was for many years
prominently identified with public affairs
In his county, and all his actions were
characterized by the strictest integrity,
not only in respect to his official relations
with the public, but Individually as well.
As a friend and neighbor he was uni
formly kind and always obliging In the
extreme Indeed, he was an excellent ex
emplar of the oldtlme hospitality and
kindness, as has been witnessed hundreds
of times by the writer of this sketch, who
first became acquainted with Mr. Cham
bers in 1853. and has had an intimate
knowledge of his family ever since.
Just prior to the breaking out of the
Yakima Indian war of October. 1855, he
built a large post barn the best by all
odds in Thurston county at that time.
Upon the first knowledge of hostilities he
offered his barn as a place of protection
for all who saw fit to avail themselves
of it. Twenty or more families sought
refuge in the barn and it was surrounded
by a stockade, and thus formed a means
of defense against the Indians for sev
eral months,, and all without any charge.

166-168 Third Street.
Mr. Selling labored under misapprehen
sion as to who his constituents are,
meaning that the people are the con
stituents and not the State Convention.
Besides, if Oregon had informed Mr.
Selling whom it wants for President,
then Statement No. 1 would come into
play.
Mr. Selling responded that the Stafe
Convention offered the only available
means of determining the will of the
people as to choice for President. "To
be consistent," declared Mr. Selling, "I
am going to vote against the resolu
tion." W. E. Williamson came to the aid of
Mr. McCusker, to say that conventions
represent the will not of the people but
of the politicians. If the people could
Instruct for President, Mr. Williamson
favored instructions. "But there is no
way of doing that," said he, "and poli
ticians do not represent the people." ..
Here E. C. Lindsey, of Gresham, in
jected the remark that he opposed in
structions, but declared that he would
not be bound by the resolution. For
that reason he Anally voted against the
resolution, to the disgust of the Bourne
men, who said he was "eigned up."
C. W. Hodson followed with the re
mark that he also would not be bound
by the resolution, because he wanted
instructions for the National delegates.
McCusker tried to interrupt him with
questions, but Hodson hotly refused to
be stayed, and went on to say that
there could bo no harmony in the
delegation when one part of It tries
to bind another by resolution, and
when considerable part of the other
Is absent. He contended that the
Bourne men had no right to say they
represent the people better than other
persons, since how have they any bet
er means of knowing what the people
want. 'Suppose," he asked, "you send
Mr. Bourne to the National Convention
instructed for Mr. Taft, what is he
going to do?"
McCusker Defends Bourne.
This brought up McCusker with
blood in his eye and a hot word on his
tongue, saying that Hodson had no
tight to cast Insinuations at Bourne.
"Sit down, sit down," cried Hodson.
A volley of words ensued between the
two, but Hodson had the floor and pro
ceeded to say that the few members
of the delegation who might adopt the
resolution could not ram it down the
throats of the others. The resolution
was absurd and would be ineffective.
F. E. Beach put in the remark that
the resolution would do the very thing
it aimed to prevent would make dis
cord. It would have an unfavorable
effect throughout the state.
Like Nestor's Counsel.
At this crisis several partlots were
waving their arms and shouting for rec
ognition. But a broad-shouldered form,
slightly bent, secured the floor. It was
George H. Williams. Like Nestor, he
tried to smooth the trouble. He thought
every delegate to the state convention
should vote as he thought best. He
served notice that the resolution would
not bind him. He refused to be bound
by "a half dozen men here tonight."
The resolution would be interpreted
as antagonistic to Taft. The speaker be
lieved the majority of the people of Ore
gon want Taft.
"We are all Roosevelt men," said he.
"Roosevelt knows better than any living
man who will carry into effect his pol
icies. He wants the nomination and elec
tion of Taft. Refusal to instruct for Taft
would be taken as a blow at the Admin
istration and Roosevelt."
Judge Williams contended that all
the delegates in the state convention,
acting- together, should decide whether
they want the National delegates in
structed or not.
C. M. Idleman declared that the
resolution, while saying that the Na
tional delegates ought not to be
bound, at the same time bound the
Multnomah delegates. That, he Insist
ed, was illogical. Besides, It would be
poor policy for Multnomah to tie itself
up before it knows what the rest of
the state is going to do.
S. C. Beach asked whether the resolu
tion would bind all the Multnomah dele
gates. Including those absent. C. V. How
aid, who presented the resolution, said he
intended it only as a "majority expres
sion of the delegates here." Beach as
serted the resolution would make discord.
James Kertchem, secretary of the coun
ty central committee, chided the two fac
tions for the strife. He told them that
neither knew the ways of harmony. Mean
while McCusker and Hodson glared at
each other.
Motion Is Lost.
The motion to lay on the table was lost
by a vote of 23 to 10. This was highly
encouraging to the Bourne men. The
resolution as written on the typewriter
In the Bourne headquarters and as
brought to the meeting by A. W. Orton
and presented by Howard, was now In a
fair way toward success. The resolution
would be announced through the State
as an evidence of Bourne strength in
Multnomah. But there was to be another
ordeal before the final vote.
Hodson offered an amendment, striking
out the clause that spoke of instructions,
and limiting the resolution to a call for
cessation of factionalism. This amend
ment was lost, 19 to 13. The final vote
on adoption of the resolution was:
