FULTON-TUFT MEN'
IN FULL CONTROL
Caucus Decides to Instruct for
Secretary and Names
Two Delegates.
BOURNE OUT OF THE RACE
County Delegates ai Open Meeting
Outline Plans for flie Throe Re
publican Conventions That
Will Meet Today,
(Continued From First Page.)
ke be choaen chairman of the commit
tee. The motion carried before the
Fulton men had a chance to inquire
who Williamson was. This position
he will hold two years, during the life
of the committee, and today v he will
call the Second IMstrtct convention to
order. Should the Bourne forces have
designs on this convention, the chair
manship may present them opportunity.
Organization of the First District
Central Committee was effected in the
Imperial Hotel by the election of C V.
Johnson, of Benton, brother of the man
chosen by the caucus for temporary
chairman of the state convention. The
secretary Is A. W. Frescott, of Salem.
This organization is safely In the
hands of the Fulton-Taft forces. The
secretary of the Second District com
mittee is E. H. Flagg, of St. Helens, be
longing to the Fulton camp. Both
committees Issued calls for their re
spective conventions today and fixed
the apportionment the same as that
of the state convention. The commit
tees also resolved that counties which
have not chosen district delegates shall
be represented in the district conven
tions by their state delegates.
Appeals in Name of Harmony.
Realizing the hopelessness of their
cause, the Bourne men made a Anal ap
peal either to have Bourne sent as one
of the delegates or to have Senator Ful
ton dropped from the delegation. In pro
posing this adjustment of a situation that
will result in the repudiation of Bourne in
today's conventions, the supporters of the
"second-elective-term" champion were
joined by the Moody people and the
Simon followers. The assault on the
Fulton-Taft camp, however, was repulsed
firmly but positively.
Bourne's representatives pleaded that it
would be an unfair discrimination for the
convention to send Fulton and turn down
Bourne. It was argued further that such
a programme would not tend to make for
harmony in the party. Another conten
tion was that the failure of the conven
tion to treat Bourne on an equal footing
with Fulton, In selecting the delegation,
would be a mistake for the reason that
as a result Bourne's prestige and strength
as Senator would be discredited during
the four years he has to serve. Both
Fulton and Bourne, Insisted the agents
of the Bourne oamp, had been honored
by the people of the state and should be
willing to step aside that less favored
and equally loyal members of the party
might secure places on the delegation.
But the Fulton forces were not com
promising anything. Having beaten
the opposition at its own game, they
could see no reason for giving quarter.
Early In th campaign Bourne, through
his private socretary, John C. Young,
Inaugurated a plan for capturing the
stats convention. They began quietly
to organize their forces tn every county
of the state, expecting to send a good
majority of the delegates to the state
convention. That having been accom
plished, It would have been an easy
matter for the Bourne forces to organ
ize the convention and select an unln
structed delegation, headed by their
leader.' Friends of Senator Fulton were
aware of this game, but took: no de
clslve steps to take a hand in the con
test until after the primary election,
when the Fulton people charged the
supporters of Bourne with throwing
Fulton down for Cake. It was then
that the Fulton forces Jumped into the
fray, in earnest, and in toe three weeks

that have Intervened accomplished sur
prising results.
Loses at Own Game.
"Bourne invited the present situation
himself," said a Fulton delegate yester
day. "He undertook to organize the
state convention In the interest of an
unlnstructed delegation, headed by him
self. The friends of Senator Fulton
then went into the game and decided to
secure control of the state convention
in the Interest of an Instructed Taft
delegation, headed by Senator Fulton.
It was a fair game. Bourne having a
slight handicap at the start, end having
lost, he should take his medicine."
W. S. U'Ren and Thomas MoCusker
were among Senator Bourne's faithful
lieutenants to invade the Fulton-Taft
headquarters In the Imperial Hotel late
yesterday afternoon. Speaking of his own
county, Clackamas, which sent a solid
Fulton-Taft delegation to the state and
Congressional conventions, Mr. U'Ren
said: "We were taken in toy the enemy."
Aside from this, Mr. U'Ren would not
discuss the situation or the retirement of
his chief as a figure in today's conven
tions. He declared he found some satis
faction, however, In the 'fact that the
shelving of Bourne by the state conven
tion was not of as great significance as
was generally admitted.
View of W. S. U'Ren.
He maintained that in a majority of the
counties" of .the state the precinct com
mitteemen or the delegates to the county
conventions by whloh the delegates to the
state and Congressional conventions were
elected, had been elected by not to ex
ceed a 60 per cent vote of the qualified
electors and for that reason the state con
vention was not representative of the
state, strictly as reflecting the 'strength
of Bourne throughout the state.
Bourne's followers assert that the Ful
ton men have used the Taft strength to
further Fulton's designs. They say that
Fulton's desire to humiliate Bourne in
Washington will do the state no good.
They declare that Fulton Is seeking to
elevate himself so as to be In line pos
sibly for election as United State's Sen
ator in case of Cake's defeat and of
Chamberlain's repudiation by the Legis
lature. They declare that If Fulton will
but carry the matter far enough he will
discredit convention methods still further"
before the people and strengthen
Bourne's denunciation of those methods.
About 60 of the prominent delegates,
representing every county in the state,
either in person or by proxy, attended
the caucus. Dr. J. N. Smith, of Marion,
presided as chairman, and C. G. Huntley,
of Clackamas, was chosen as secretary.
The first business transacted was the se
lection of A. J. Johnson, of Benton, and
C. G. Huntley, of Clackamas, as tempo
rary chairman and secretary, respec
tively of today's State Convention.
' Two" of the eight National delegates
were chosen at the caucus. For the six
other places there will be a spirited con
test. The two remaining places as dele-gates-et-Iarge
are sought for by several
eager candidates. The most conspicuous
of them are Dr. W. Kuydendall, of Lane;
A. N. Gilbert, of Marion, and C. G. Hunt
ley, of Clackamas.
In the First Congressional District in
dications last night were that B, E.
Williams, of Polk, would be one of the
two delegates to be selected by that con
vention today. As to the other delegate,
the contest lies between C. A. Sehlbrede,
of Coos, and H. C. Kinney, of Josephine.
An effort was attempted last night to get
Kinney to withdraw as a candidate for
delegate to the Chicago convention and
become an aspirant for Presidential elec
t. In the Second District.
Few candidates and but little strife
has developed in the Second District for
the two places as delegates to the Na
tional convention. Asa Thompson of
Umatilla, and J. L. Gault, of Harney, will
ask for the nomination from Eastern
Oregon, while Charles T. Early and N.
Whealdon, of Wasco; Dr. HVW. Coe and
A. B. Manley. of Multnomah, will ask for
recognition from this end of the district.
Dr. Kuykendall's resolution in the cau
cus, instructing the. delegates for Taft,
was (adopted with a unanimous vote.
When the resolution had been presented,
A. J. Johnson, of Benton, spoke In its
behalf. N. C. Richards, of Umatilla,
questioned the advisability of committing
the delegation to any Instructions. He
suggested that conditions in the Presi
dential contest might be entirely different
a few weeks hence, when Oregon's dele
gates, if instructed, might find that they
were handicapped by the proposed action
of the convention.
R. E. Williams, of Polk, insisted on
an Instructed delegation. "If there is
no other reason that the delegation
should be instructed," said he, "it is
because Bourne wants an uninstructed
delegation. That Is sufficient reason
for me to want instructions given.".
S. C Beach followed in the same ar
THE BIORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY,
DELEGATES vTO THE REPUBLICAN
gument, and said that since a Taft
delegation was to be selected, the dele
gates undoubtedly would not only have
no objections to being instructed, but
would expect the convention to give in
structions. C. N. McArthur suggested
that It would be entirely proper to instruct
the delegation, In view of the fact that
Senator Fulton and Secretary Taft had
requested that action. W. W. Banks
added his voice to the demand for in
structions, and read a letter from Frank
H. Hitchcock, manager of Taft'e cam
paign, in which he said an instructed
delegation would be appreciated by Mr.
Taft. With such a unanimity of senti
ment among the delegates, Mr. Rich
ards surrendered, and the resolution
was adopted with a chorus of "Ayes."

work and business sessions. Thursday

SPEAKS TO VOTERS
Stevens Opens His Campaign
for Re-election.
REVIEWS POLICY IN OFFICE
Other Party Nominees Also Talk at
Meeting Held Under the Auspices
ot the South - Portland
Republican Club,
Robert L, Stevens formRlly opened
his campaign lor re-election as Sheriff
of Multnomah County last night at
Jonas' Hall, Front and Gibbs streets,
and received a great ovation from the
voters of that district. The large hall
was crowded with the members of the
South Portland Republican Club, and
other citizens. Scattered through the
audience were many women, and they
aleo took part In. greeting Sheriff
Stevens.
The meeting was for a double pur
pose, as In addition to the several can
didates who spoke, there was a debate
between W. S. U'Ren and W. R. Mc
Garry, on the proposed recall amend
ment that is to be voted upon. The
Interest of the voters seemed to be
centered In the speeches of the candi
dates, while there was much praise for
the musical programme rendered by
Miss Lena Harwas, Frank Hennessy
and -iFred R. Jacobsen. Sheriff Stevens
was the flrst speaker, introduced by
President Lillls, and when the Sheriff
rose to speak, the cheering and ap
plause lasted fully five minutes. With
out any attempt at oratory. Sheriff
Stevens told of how he had- conducted
the affairs of his office during the past
two years, and of the work that had
bien done by himself and his deputies.
"I promised the Republican voters of
Multnomah County, before I was elect
ed two years ago," he said, "that I
would conduct the Sheriff's office on
strictly business principles, and I feci
that I have made my promise good In
every respect. I feel that the office
has been conducted to suit the taxpay
ers and citizens of Multnomah County,
for the affairs of the office have been
free from scandal, and there has been
no complaint against the methods I
adopted, when I assumed office. I have
done my duty to the best of my abil
ity, and have at all times endeav
ored to act for the best Interests of the
county at large.
"I am a candidate, as you know, for
re-election, and if elected, I pledge you
all that I will conduct my office during
the next two years Just as I have in
the past. My reception here tonight Is
most gratifying to me, for It makes
me feel that I have done my part, and
have run the Sheriff's office to suit you,
or you would not have shown your ap
preciation as you have."
Judge George J. Cameron, Republican
candidate for District Attorney; C. N.
McArthur, Republican candidate for
Joint Representative; R. G. Morrow,
Republican candidate for Circuit Judge,
and J. W. Bell, Republican candidate'
for Justice of the Peace, were among
the speakers. Mr. Morrow cautioned
the voters present not to be fooled by
the cry of non-partisanship set up by
the Democrats. He said that a vote
for a so-called non-partisan candidate
meant a vote for a Democrat.
PREOIXCT CLUB IS FOR TAFT
Members Declare Against Single Tax
and Recall Amendments.
Absence of candidates who were de
feated and those who were successful last
night at the meeting of the Forty-Fifth
Precinct Republican Club, corner Powell
and East Twenty-sixth streets, did not
prevent the organization from holding
an enthusiastic meeting. Ben Riesland,
the president, in opening the meeting,
expressed his disappointment over the
absence of the defeated candidates, some
of whom had been indorsed by the club
before the primaries. The first action of
the club was the indorsement of the whole
Republican ticket as nominated.
The club unanimously indorsed William
H. Taft for the nomination for President,
and Chairman Riesland was authorized
to convey to the state convention a re
quest that delegates Instructed to vote
for him in the National Convention be
selected at the meeting today. Some of
those present said; that Roose
velt had been their choice, but In view of
the repeated declarations of President
Roosevelt that he would not be a candi
date, they favored the nomination of the
Secretary of War.
Some of the amendments which will
be voted on In June were considered. A
resolution was adopted declaring that the
single tax amendment Is a dangerous and
vicious measure, and 'would upset the
present financial situation, and urging
all voters to- be sure to vote against this
amendment. The same action was taken
concerning the recall amendment, It being
's WnfW .Siiir! N
considered an unnecessary measure and
one liable to be used for personal spite.
The club Indorsed the measure increasing
the pay of members of the Legislature
from $3 to $10 a day. George J. Cameron
was Indorsed for the office of District
Attorney. It was decided to meet again
May 27.
RETIRES - IX FAVOR OF O'DAY
G. W. Allen Will Xot Accept Primary
Judicial Nomination.
PORTLAND, May 13. (To the Editor.)
At the late primary nomination election
I was nominated for the office of Judge
of the Circuit Court Fourth Judicial Dis
trict, department No. 1, by voters at that,
election writing my name on their ballots,'
and I have duly received from the execu
tive department of the state a certificate
of my nomination. I highly appreciate
the honor thus conferred upon me by my
friends, and I thank them most cor
dially. I have long entertained the sentiment in
favor of a nonpartisan bench, which sen
timent I 'believe to be almost unanimous
In this district at this time; and, bollev- '
ing that this sentiment would be fully
met or realized by the election of Judge
Thomas O'Day, who is now occupying tha
bench by appointment of Governor Cham
berlain satisfactorily to the bar and tha
public, and who is a regular candidate
for the office of Judge, whloh he is now
so ably filling; ji.d further believing that
my withdrawal as a candidate would add,
strength to the sentlmtnt in favor of
nonpartisan judiciary and aid somewhat!
the election of Judge O'Day, 1 respectw
