TROUBLE IN PART!
Democrats Break on Selection
of Delegates.
INMAN CAUSE OF DISSENT
Wood-Terry Faction Said to Suspect
That Propot-cd Delegate to Na
tional Convention Is Not
Bryan Supporter.
All is not harmony in the Democratic
county central committee. The first evi
dence of a lack of unity was manifested
at the meeting of the central committee
Saturday night when it selected delegates
to the state convention over the protest
of N, A. Peery and C. K. S. Wood, two
of the committeemen. Messrs. Wood and
Perry yesterday declined to discuss the
subject, but it is understood the pro
posed indorsement of delegates to the
National Democratic convention at Den
ver is the real hone of contention be
tween the two elements in the commit
tee. The faction in the committee head
ed by State Chairman Alex Sweek and
County Chairman George H. Thomas, it
is said, want D. M. Watson and R. D.
lnman to be two of the delegates to the
Denver convention. The other side is
, reported to be suspicious - of Inman's
Democracy and declares that the present
organization of the central committee
was effected to boost the candidacy of
lnman. among other things.
The antl-Inman crowd in the commit
tee meeting did not stand any more
chance of accomplishing anything than
did thehandful of Bourne delegates in
the laic Republican state convention.
The county organization, by its com
mittee on resolutions, proposed a reso
lution directing that the central commit
tee select Multnomah County's quota of
38 delegates to the state convention. Mr.
Peery proposed an amendment providing
for the selection of delegates to a county
convention for the purpose of selecting
state delegates, and although the sub
stitute was supported by Mr. Wood and
a few other delegates, it was voted down
by an overwhelming vote. The central
committee then adopted the original
resolution and proceeded to select the list
of 38. after a nominating committee had
been appointed for the purpose.
It Is now charged by the disgruntled
zrembers that the central committee was
organized through the efforts of Chair
man Thomas and his friends In the pri
mary electien and it is not representa
tive of the Democratic voters of the
county. It was for this reason, they as
sert, that a county convention was de
sired that the party voters might select,
indirectly, the delegates that are to go
to Denver from this state.
The minority element of the central
committee alleges that the forces in con
trol of the organization propose to push
the candidacy of Messrs. Watson and
lnman as delegates to the National con
vention. Of the eight delegates from this
state, the Democratic state convention
usually apportions two to Multnomah
County, two to Southern Oregon and
two to Eastern Oregon, while the re
maining two are selected from the state
at large. The dissatisfied members of
the committee will accept Watson, who
is known to be a warm personal friend
of Bryan, but Inman's Democracy, when
It comes to supporting Bryan, they in
sis is questionable. The committee Is
a unit on one thing and that is that the
Democrats of this state shall send a
delegation to the Denver convention with
instructions to support Bryan first, last
and all of the time. While the Demo
crats here do not regard Governor John
son as a dangerous rival, they do not
propose to send any delegates whose
Democracy Is not above suspicion.
It is charged against lnman that In
he was a strong McKInley supporter
and the disappointed committeemen pro
fess not to have any satisfactory knowl
edge that he has since returned to the
Democratic camp and can be depended
upon to stand by the wishes of his party
a expressed in the state convention,
with or without specific instructions.
However, the 38 delegates have not se
lected any choice for delegates and by
the terms of a motion adopted at the
meeting Saturday night, will not make
any recommendatidns until the day of
the state convention, June 9.
It is generally understood among the
Democrats that Governor Chamberlain
will head the delegation as one of the
flelegates-at-large. State Senator M. A.
Miller, of Lebanon, undoubtedly, will be
one of the other delegates.

STATEMENT ONE FORCES FIGHT
FOR LEGISLATURE.
Democrats Are Allied With Foes of
Autl-Statenicnt Republican
Xomlnees.
Vigorous efforts to give control of the
next Legislature to the Statement No. 1
forces are being made by Iemocrats and
by ..Republican foes of anti-Statement
Republican nominees. And because H.
M. Cake. Republican nominee for United
States Senator, refuses to Join the fight
on the anti-Statement nominees of his
party, a considerable part of the com
bined forces are fighting him. Although
Senator Bourne professes to be a stead
fast champion. of Statement 1, his follow
ers say he 1b supporting the Republican
ticket, even including the anti-Statement
nominees. Bourne's attitude is declared
inconsistent by the combined Democrat
bolting Republican forces, but the Bourne
men make answer that he pursued the
same policy two years ago.
Lacking but three or four members
of a majority of the next Legislature
provided all the Statement One nomi
nees shall be elected, which seems cer
tain, the Statement One men are striv
ing to win the needed members, chief
ly' in Washington and Yamhill Coun
ties. There is a combined movement
against the "Republican voters' choice"
nominees of the Republican party. Op?
position candidates have been nominat
ed in mass convention and an organ
ized effort is being made to elect them.
The same work is being done in Gil
liam, Sherman and Wheeler Counties.
With Yamhill County is joined Tilla
mook In joint legislative districts. In
these six counties are ten Republican
nominees to Statement One and
pledged to vote for the Republican
choice for United States Senator. In
these counties the two sets of candi
dates are as follows:
Washington County Anti-Statement No.
1, for Representatives, S. A. D. Meek.
Charles Hines, H. D. Green. Statement
No. 1, C. E: Hedge, William Schulmerlch.
N. I. Burnett. Anti-Statement No. 1, for
State Senator, Dr. W. D. Wood. State
ment No. 1, Arthur N. Cutting.
Yamhill County Anti-Statement No. I,
for Representatives, F. K. Jones and J.
W. Bones. Statement No. 1, John O.
Kckman. Republican; M. F. Corrigan,
Democrat.
Tillamook-Yamhill Anti-Statement No.
1. for Representative. A. G. Beals. State
ment No. 1, Sam Laughliir.
Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler For
Representatives, B. F. Pike and R. N.
Donnelly (anti-Statement No. 1: W. T.
Jackson and W. T. Mariner (Statement
No. 1). For Senator. Jay Bowerman (anti
Statement No. 1); W. J. Edwards (State
ment No. X).
In these six counties the Statement
forces find conditions the most favorable
for winning the Legislators whom they
need to- make up their majority at Salem
next Winter. Democrats hope to supple
ment this work by electing several of
their party nominees, in Linn, Wasco,
Baker and Umatilla counties. They are
making a fight in Multnomah and Clacka
mas for electionof their candidate, A.
King Wilson, over the. Republican nomi
nee, C. N. McArthut

ATTACKS SINGLE TAX BILL
Dl'XXIWAY PRESENTS OBJEC
TIONS TO THE MEASURE.
Opposite Views on Question Ad
vanced by George F. Cotterlll Be
fore the People's Forum.
At the meeting of the People's Forum
last night In Selllng-Hirsch hall, the sin
gle tax amendment was discussed by
Ralph R. Dunniway and George F. Cot
terlll, of Seattle.
Mr. Dunniway's opinion of the measure
was radical, impractical and misleading.
It was1 presented, he said, In a way to
catch votes by appearing to the envious
passions of certain elements of society.
The speaker pointed out that the amend
ment does not properly represent single
tax, since in permitting the taxation of
business blocks and other properties it
departed from the principles of single
tax as enunciated by its founder.
The speaker declared that if the peti
tioners were indeed believers In the single
tax, pure and simple, they should refuse
to support a measure which, as presented
in the amendment, is in violation of the
principles of their doctrine. He advised
his hearers to abandon the amendment
as at present advocated, and reintroduce
it in a manner that would be in harmony
with the basic princpiles upon which the
doctrine is founded.
Mr. Dunniway referred to the fact that
the enactment of the amendment would
result iir endless confusion and litigation
in the matter of adjusting assessments.
It would also necessitate long and com
plicated revision of the laws, he said.
Mr. Cotterlll, speaking in behalf of
the measure, dwelt upon the enormous
Increase in value of certain properties
in Seattle. He reasoned that the in
crease in value was in the land, not in
the buildings, which depreciate; that
the increase in value has been pro
duced by the people who have doubled
the population of the city, and not by
the property owners. He also illus
trated his views by referring to prop
erty owned by a pioneer resident of
the city, who for the past 40 years has
been an inmate of the State Insane
Asylum. During that time nothing
was done to the property, but Its value
was constantly Increasing, until at the
present time it is valued at Jl, 000, 000.
This property, the speaker said, should
have paid taxes in proportion to its
increased valuation. The present tax
system he characterized as only an
excuse for a system.
