THE MORNING OREGONTAN. MONDAY, JULY 13, 1903. WEATHER BOTHERS PRIMABY CAMPAIGN Washington Takes but Little Interest in Politics Just Now. DEMOCRATIC FILINGS FEW Hardly Enough Declarations of Can dldacy to Fill Out Ticket, While Republicans Will Have Contest for Neary Every Office. SEATTLE, July 12. (Special.) Hot leather anda direct primary cam paign will not mix. Even in the storm renters, where the September pri maries ought to be close enough to fcrouse intense interest, there is an fcpathetic view ot the situation that kneans some new stimulus has to be Injected to get politicians to work. In Ihe outlying districts, and partlcular- during the coming two month3 by a show ing of senatorial interest In his success. The pro-Jones campaign will be stimu lated almost entirely by an exploitation of the Yakima candidate through his own personal fight. There is an effort on the part of pro-Jones leaders to weight down his campaign by attaching to it the fights of certain other state officers or candidates, action which would injure Jones. Popular Vote Will Determine. It is unquestionably true that the next Legislature will accept the verdict of the popular vote on Senator. Both candidates have agreed to abide by the outcome o the primary vote. What that popular vote may be depends upon the interest that can be aroused from a voting public in the disinterested districts which is anxious to look after crops, either of grain or timber. Ankeny is undoubtedly growing but there are 60 days of uncertainty ahead. S. C. Cosgrove was first into the guber natorial fight and he did a lot of organiza tion work before any of the other candi dates started. Within recent months a fight for second choice votes In Cosgrove's Interest, has been growing and a popular Impression is abroad that Cosgrove's chief hope of, winning is through a second choice. Unquestionably this impression has injured the Pomeroy candidate. The significance of such a situation is that both Mead and McBride figure their chances exist on procuring a plurality equal to 40 per cent or more of the total vote cast for Governor. Whatever Cos grove loses in first choice votes has to be divided between the other candidates and It is probably true McBride is gaining most of what Cosgrove is apparently losing. Evidence of Understanding. There Is every indication of an under standing between the Mead and Cosgrove followers on the basis that Cosgrove is to SUNDAY IS Chautauqua Assembly ' Puts Away Secular Affairs. SERMON BY DR. LANDRITH Tennessee Clergyman Makes Last Appearance on Platform Sun day School, Band Concert and Sermon by Dr. Whitman. CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS, Gladstone Park. July 12. (Special.) The Chau tauqua believes in keeping Sunday, and the tented city, together with the throng of visitors, enjoyed the sacred programme of the day. The exercises opened with Sunday' school at 11 o'clock, under the direction of the State Sunday School Association and under the leadership of R. K. Steele, presi dent. At 2 o'clock the Chautauqua chorus led the assembly in slhging "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Rev. Hoar, of Gladstone, pronounced the Invoca tion and the Willamette Quartet sang "Sabbath Chimes." The chorus and audience then sang the second hymn W. C. T. U. HEADQUARTERS AT GLADSTONE CHAUTAUQUA : '4, obAtmnoM&mm& V r?r t ly In the farming communities, there Is every Indication that the primary vote will be lighter than any of the candidates have figured. Hot weather never was propitious for political activity In this state, and , when weather conditions are acceler- ted by crop damage on the east side : and quietude In the lumber regions i of Western Washington, Interest in ! the pending political fights wanes ; even faster. I Few Democratic Filings. The first filings under the direct I primary were made Friday and, from ; reports throughout the state, it is evl , dent Democratic leaders are prepared I to concede this state is hopelessly Re I publican. There is every evidence that ; as the primary election approaches a i sharp contest will be made between I members of the majority party for ! places on the state, county and local j tickets, but Democratic candidates have been only conspicuous by their absence. There were not enough ; Democratic filings throughout the i state Friday to make up a respect able ticket, while Republican contests over nearly every office are promised . for a hazy future. Four years ago Washington gave a j Republican majority of 73.000, and In , the off-year of a Congressional elec ; tlon a majority of 40,000 was rolled i up. In the most favorable circum stances a change of more than 20,000 ' votes would be necessary to elect a ! Democratic state ticket, and Demo ( cratlc leaders have not yet considered ! the problem worth serious attack. A conference of Democratic leaders will I fce held In Tacoma on July 27 to select imrn to fill out a state ticket, but until that assemblage Is held, pollti rians of neither party expect to find Democratic activity in this state. In the meantime a settled convic tion that most of the pending Repub lican fights will wait a while seems o have Influenced members of that party. There Is much interest In King, Spokane. Yakima, Pierce, Walla Walla and Whatcom Counties; a local con test has aroused politicians In Snoho mish, and Whitman is always stirred ' up over politics. Chehalls seems to be alive and Thurston Is fussing. But, as a rule, the various districts of the state are apathetic and prepared to wait. The Republican fight in Washington is certain to center about the cam paigns for Senator and Governor. The two issues are of almost equal Impor tance to voters. The more systematic work in the Senatorial fight has been done by the Ankeny organization, which has perfected county and fac tional organizations. The greatest newspaper notoriety has been given to the Jones campaign. Personal Frlendhlp Figures. Ankeny Is bearing the brunt of ex actly the same kind of a fight that he has met for 13 or 14 years. Jones is being attacked on a record held up to public view and" a claim that he has misinterpreted Ankeny's actions or motives and that he has dealt un fairly with the senior Senator. Per sonal friendship cuts a big figure in both campaigns; Ankeny's record as a pioneer being contrasted with Jones as a Republican campaign speaker and leader. Eighteen months ago the drift was strongly pro-Jones. The sentiment is now close enough to make the outcome of the fight at least doubtful. There Is no ques tion but that the anti-Ankeny campaign has been waged too bitterly and that An keny has gained steadily by a develop ment of facts. There is certainly nothing new the anti-Ankeny campaigners can say and if anything Is urged within the next 60 days it cannot hurt and it may help Ankeny. Practically the whole of the anti-Jones campaign has been covered, though it Is being developed through an exploitation of his political associates. The pro-Ankeny fight will be stimulated be supported for second choice. The ac tual management of the Mead campaign Is naturally for the present Governor, but some of the most powerful influences backing Mead would be better satisfied with Cosgrove's nomination. Cosgrove opened headquarters In Seattle this week and he will have managers in active charge locally until the campaign closes, making his own headquarters in this city. Mead is to open headquarters here and Atkinson has been busy In and about Seattle. He will probably be rep resented here. Colonel W. M. Ridpath has a corps of local managers at work, but his real headquarters are in Tacoma and Spokane. Colonel J. W. Robinson of Olympia Is not likely to figure promi nently here. Thorough McBride Organization. In the meantime there Is an active and thorough ward organization here for Mc Bride. In each of the large counties of the state McBride has a complete organi zation. This Is true, for instance, of King, Snohomish, Whatcom. Pierce, Spo kane, Walla Walla, Whitman, Chehalls and Lewis. It is a fact none of the gubernatorial candidates is so thoroughly organized as McBride and it is undoubted ly true that none could get as much work accomplished In his interests at so little expenditure of money or labor. Among the minor offices the campaign for Attorney-General promises to be as hotly contested as any. with the fight over Lieutenant-Governor next. In these two fights the facts that J. H. Easterday, ex-Tax Commissioner, is known In every county will Influence the Attorney-General's contest and the campaign of Lieu tenant Governor C. E. Coon for renomina tion will be strengthened by the circum stance that he has a wider state acquaint ance than any ot his rivals and is known as a member of commercial and fraternal orders throughout the state. For similar reasons S. H. Nichols, for Secretary of State, and J. H. Schively for Insurance Commissioner, will gather strength against a limited field of opposition. Four File Declarations. CHEHALia Wash.. July 12. (Special.) Four more candidates have filed their declarations of candidacy since yester day, among them one lose Democrat, S. A. D. Eaton, of Centralia, for Justice of the Peace of that city. R. N. Ash more, who was County Auditor many years ago. is a candidate for Assessor. Peter Summersett declared his candi dacy for renomination for Treasurer. Dr. J. D. Thompson, of Winlock, declared for Coroner, all on the Republican ticket. MAN OF PUBLIC SPIRIT Chehalls Mourns Loss of Good Citi zen In Death of D. C. Millett. CHEHALIS. Wash., July 12 (Spe cial.) Daniel C. Millett, who died here last evening, was born in Wisconsin el years ago. He came to Chehalls 20 years ago and since then has been one of the main factors in the growth and development of this thriving city. Mr. Millett was one of ,the owners in the banking house of Coftman, Dobson & Co., of Chehalis, and. in company with U. E. Harmon, practiced law. He was a progressive, public-spirited man and it was largely due to his efforts while occupying the position of Mayor of this city that many public im provements were put In. He leaves a family consisting of a widow. Mrs. Kate C. Millett; one daughter, Mrs. E. A. Frost, both of this city, and two sons, Daniel A. Millett. a well-known stockman of Gila Bend. Ariz., and Gardner W. Mil lett. of New York City. Definite ar rangements have not yet been made for the funeral, which will be held al Claquato, near here. See Rosenthal's window, shoe bargain. and Dr. Ira Landrith, of Nashville, Tenn., preached the afternoon sermon. Dr. Landrith said, by way of preface to his sermon, that as this was the last time that he would appear, he wanted to impress upon the Assembly the value of the work that the man agers were doing for this section of the country in giving the public the chance to attend the platform enter tainments. Epigrams of Dr. Landrith. He took for his text I Samuel, xvi:7: "Man looketh on the outward appear ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." The speaker gave the setting of the text, telling the story of the annolntlng of David and showing from this that God wants kingly hearts and not royal faces. The family of David and the world looked upon him as a sheep-herder, while God looked on him as a shepherd of the people. He in terpreted the verse, "By their works ye shall know them." as a rule of Judg ment, Imperfect, but given to the peo ple by God and not the rule used by God In the final judgment of man. A few of the epigrams used by Dr. Land rith in developing his theme follow: "We must Judge men by their minds, not by their means. Some of the im perfections of man's judgment are piti ful. The truest and most generous men I- vifilL ill fit A''&7wbF m THE STURDIEST peoples of the earth drmk beer drink it from childhood to age.

The barley is food; the hops are a tonic The trifle-of alcohol is an aid to digestion. The proper drinking of beer- but not the abuse of it is good for the weak and the well. And not the least of the good comes through flushing the system; in getting rid of the waste. But a beer to be healthful needs to be pure. And it must be well aged, else the after-result is biliousness. That is why we are so careful -with Schlitz. We double the necessary cost of our brewing to insure absolute purity.

Ankeny St. Portland " , The BccrThat Made Milwaukee Famous are those who keep closest the good they are doing for other people. There is a soul life, across, the border of which you and I have no right to know. What the world needs more than learn ing, civilization and money Is tender sympathy. We don't understand men's battles because we cannot look into the atmosphere that surrounds them and into the past that is back of them. Nn man should judge harshly until he has lived ror 300 years and has personally known the boyhood of a person's grandfather. God understands the evil of our own lives better than we do. Morality is not religion, but religion without morality is a farce. Only purity of the heart Insures heaven, but It is a poor sort of a man who lives to get to heaven and a poorer sort who does not try to make this world a heaven." Dr. Whitman In Evening. The Chemawa .Indian School band gave a sacred concert at 4 o'clock. This organization has become part and par cel of the Chautauqua at Gladstone, and its part of the entertainment this year is better by far than ever before. At 5 o'clock the Japanese programme was enjoyed by a filled auditorium. This was under the auspices of the Portland Y. W. and T. M. C, A. Six Japanese took part. The evening programme was begun with a hymn by the Chautauqua chorus. Miss Nina Pearl Johnson rendered a solo In a beautiful manner. Her work is always enjoyed. Dr. B. L. Whitman, of Seattle, .who has charge of the Bible study at the Assembly, preached the evening ser mon. He appears a physical and Intel lectual giant and his hearers were sorry when he finished his magnetic discourse. Those who heard this ser mon are looking forward to the two lectures that he gives this week. Mrs. Anna Manring. . GARFIELD, Wash., July 12. Mrs. Anna Manring died at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. James Lemon, and the body was shipped to Stltes, Idaho, for burial. Funeral services were conducted by Ret. Mr. Solon McCroskey. Mrs. Manring was born in Missouri in 1831 and came to Garfield with her family in 1890. She Is survived by five sons and one daugh ter. FEDERATION MEN TO MEET WESTERN MIXERS COX'VEXE IX DEXVER TODAY. Closer Relations With United Mine workers Expected to Develop From' Convention. DENVER. July 12. The annual conven tion of the Western Federation of Miners, the first since the acquittal of its ex-secretary-treasurer, William D. Haywood, and George A. Pettibone, .one-time mem ber of the executive board, of the mur der of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg, of Idaho, will assemble In this city tomor row. Its sessions will continue for two weeks. The convention is composed of 230 delegates, coming from mining dis tricts in the Western states, Canada and Alaska. Out of this convention is expected to spring .a more intimate relationship be tween the Western Federation and the United Mlneworkers of America, to whioh end the latter organization, is sending a, committee headed by President T. H. Lewis to meet the Western Federation delegates and agree upon a concerted plan of action. For several months each organization has recognized the cards of the other. President C. H. Moyer will call the convention to order, and from present In dications he will "be re-elected If he will accept the office. The same is true of Vice-President C. E. Mahoney, Secretary Treasurer Ernest Mills and a majority of the executive board. Several minor changes in the constitution will be pro posed to cover the necessities of the Federation, which now has locals from Nome to Alaska, on the north, to the southern extremity of Arizona. A strong delegation from Butte will make an effort to win the next conven tion for that city. Prices talk at Rosenthal's shoe sale.
