Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 20, 1908. CANDIDATES FIGHT SHY OF PLEDGE 37 Would-Be Washington Legis lators Inclined to Ignore " Primary Law. ALTERS SENATORIAL FIGHT Vnless Sentiment Changed, Majority of Next Legislature May Be Free to Choose In Nam ing Ankeny's Successor. OLTMPIA, July 19. (Special.) Filings of declarations of candidacy for Legis lative positions on the Republican ticket, which began July 10, have thrown a new light upon the proposal of Congressman Wesley L. Jones, made in the latter part of June, that Senator Levi Ankeny and he sign a compact providing for the with drawal of the loser of the preference vote in the primaries from the Senatorial election content to be held by the Legis lature next January. Candidates for Legislative positions are not yet falling over themselves to sub scribe to the Section 37 pledge, declaring their purpose to "always vote for the candidate for United States Senator who has received the highest number of votes" upon their party ticket. Unless public sentiment becomes more demonstrative concerning this feature of the direct primary law. it is well within the range of possibilities that a majority of the members of the next Legislature will not be subscribers to the pledge. Of the 107 members of the Legislature, but 86 are to be elected this year. In the Senate there are 21 hold-over Sen ators, three of whom are Democrats. These hold-over Senators, not having been elected under the provisions of the primary law. are not pledged to vote for the party choice for United States Sen ator. A majority of the Legislature is 64. Therefore the election of 33 unpledged Senators and Representatives would make up a majority of unpledged mem bers, or If the three Democratic hold overs are eliminated from consideration, the election of 36 unpledged Republicans would make the election possible of a candidate for the United States Senate who failed to receive the popular vote. Politicians Play Wise Game. While Congressman Jones' supporters are apparently anxious to rest his case with the voters, the more astute poli ticians who are guiding the destinies of the Ankeny fight have avoided, by ad vising hirn to refuse to enter Into the compact, the very dangerous possibility of eliminating both candidates from suc cess In the election by the Legislature. While In declining to enter into the compact, Senator Ankeny gave several rearons for not pledging himself to with draw from the race in the event he fails to obtain the majority of the popular vote, it has become understood that there were weightier and thoroughly honorable motives back of his refusal that were not mentioned. Such a compact might result in an 11 lustration of the old story of two dogs quarreling over a bone until a third ran away with It. There la nothing In the law of this state that prevents a person whose name does not appear upon the primary election ticket as a candidate for the United States Senate from becoming a candidate and submitting his chances to the Legislature. The apathy of the candidates and vot ers concerning the Section 37 pledge now Illustrates that the entering into of such a compact as that proposed by Jones would have been equivalent to the as sumption by the Senatorial candidates themselves of the pledge which the law provides may be subscribed to by the candidates for the Legislature. W hat Compact Would Do. With such a compact in force, the in terest that now exists in candidates for the Legislature subscribing to the pledge would not prevail and it would be prac tically a certainty that a majority of the members of the Legislature would be elected without being bound to vote for either Jones or Ankeny. In such an event a dark horse could enter the race with good chances of win ning. If a man of prominence In the state, he would have not only his per sonal following, but very likely that of the one of the two candidates who was defeated In the popular choice contest. Politicians claim that Senator Ankeny. In refusing to enter into the compact proposed by Mr. Jones, has not only saved himself from the possibility of a defeat by a third person, but probably has done Mr. Jones a kindness. Senator Ankeny, In his reply to Con gressman Jones, and in previous utter ances, has very plainly declared himself to be in accord with the features of the primary law rertalnlng to the choice of United States Senators. It is not believed by the honest element of the Jones fac tion that Senator Ankeny will go before the Legislature seeking election if the voters of the state approve the primary law by electing a majority of pledged members of the Legislature and express a choice for Mr. Jones. Foresaw Third Candidate. But there is a pretty strong suspicion among the Ankeny men that Jones' ad visers had In view this possibility of a third candidate entering the race after the primary election when they induced him to propose to Senator Ankeny that the loser at the polls withdraw. Among the Jones supporters are num bered some of Ankeny's bitterest ene mies, who are believed to be supporting Jones, not so much because of love for him as because of hatred for Ankeny. Among the Jones adherents is one. at' least, who possesses a consuming desire to be elected again United States Sen ator. While It is not likely that so lone as there is a possibility of electing Jones there will be any defection from the ranks of the Congressman's supporters, some of his followers. It Is believed by Senator Ankeny's friends, would not hesi tate to seek the latter's defeat If Jones retired from the fight under the terms of the compact proposed by him. With an unpledged majority of the Legislature, and Jones defeated at the polls, the Ankeny men believe that it would be almost certain that the con test would again result in the old and bitter fight between Senator Ankeny and ex-United States Senator John L. Wil son. HITS WIFEWITH CHAIR Another Chapter in Polish Romance at Oregon City. OREGON CITT. Or.. July 19. (Special.) Antone Macizskis was arrested today by Constable Miles, charged with assault and battery. His wife stated that he hit hr over the head with a chair. Mart is- kis deposited 00 cash ball for his ap pearance tomorrow. His arrest is the sequel of a shooting affray last Tuesday night, when Peter Brelltus, whose fancy for the wife of Macizskis is evidently re turned by the woman, went to the house where the pair were staying. An ex change of hard words resulted in some wild shooting and the arrest of Brellius and Folosko Danneserwaus. brother of the woman, who is favoring Brellius. The men were arrested on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, though the shot? went wild. Macizskis offers to put up bail for the release of his wife's brother, but she will not agree unless Brellius is also re leased. Macizskis says that his wife pre fers Brellius and she can have him. The participants in the family quarrel are Poles and came here a few weeks ago. Heirs Divide Gould Estate. WESTON, Or., July 19.

The accompanying cut, from a photograph taken for The Oregonian, showe a barrel of cherries preserved and ready to seal, at the Eugene cannery, where the canning and packing of cherries is at its height. The Lane County Fruitgrowers' Association will preserve hundreds of barrels of cher ries this year, to ship East, to be used by preserving concerns! who rec ognize the Willamette Valley cherry as the equal of any in the world. The present season has not been very satisfactory for the grower who wishes to dispose of his green fruit. The crop has been fine la yield and quality, but prices are much lower than last year. The mem bers of the fruit association, however, will get all there is in the fruit, and most of their crop is being packed, canned or preserved, so that it will keep until there to a chance for improvement in the market.

The 15th .annual session of the Willamette Valley Chau tauqua Assembly is over. The close to night was without ceremony, and many of the campers have packed their tents and left for their homes, well satisfied with their fortnight's outing In the beau tiful groves of Gladstone Park. Bishop Robert Mclntyre, of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, was the central figure today, preaching at 2 o'clock this aiternoon. The audltorum was crowded, which" is unusual for Sunday. His theme was "A Godly, a Saintly, a Holy Life Is Possible Anywhere," and he proved his text by showing that there were saints even in the household of Nero from the statement of St. Paul, whom he termed "an eye witness, giving expert and vet eran testimony." Bishop Mclntyre said tnat sucn a lire is in the nature of things because a holy life could not be drowned. It is the constitution of the human soul because man was made In the image of God Hundred Chinese on Platform. The devotional hour this morning was followed by the Sunday school, under the direction of R. R." Steele, president of the State Sunday School Association. Music was rendered by the Chautauqua chorus this afternoon and after Bishop Mclntyre' s sermon the etiemawa Indian School band gave their last concert. The band has been exceedingly popular all through the session. Nearly 100 Chinamen, from Infants to gray headed men, were on the platform at 5 o clock this aiternoon. and rendered an interesting programme of solos. In strumental numbers, choruses and recita tions, giving accounts of the Chinese mis sionary work in America. There' was also Scriptural readings and Miss Frances Gage, who has had charge of the Young Vv omen s Christian Association head- ouarters here, made an address on the subject or -her mission work among the Chinese. The Willamette girls sang tonight and Dr. F. J. Van Horn, of Plymouth Church. Seattle, gave the farewell sermon. The cool of the evening, after a stifling hot day, brought out a goodly throng and Dr. van Horn s sermon was given close attention. Form G. A. R. Association. There Was organized on the grounds yesterday afternoon an association of members of the Grand Army of the Re- public and Woman's Relief Corps, having for its object an annual reunion of vet erans at Chautauqua. Past Department Commander B. F. Pike was elected presl dent, and Assistant Adjutant-General C. A. Williams was chosen secretary. Com mittees on reception and programme were appointed and every year during the Chautauqua Assembly, on Patriotic day the veterans and their wives will gather In Gladstone Park and talk of the days and deeds of history. It would not be just to give the last account of the 1908 session, without a word of appreciation for Harvey E. Cross, secretary of the assembly, and coast manager of talent for the four Pacific Coast Chautauquas. He has car ried on his -shoulders the work of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua and Is deserving of the major share of the credi' for the ruccessful session that closed tonight.

J 6 ::i .:J I Portland Railway, Light & . Power Company BULLETIN NO. 8 Motormen and Conductors During the year ending December 31, 1907, over SO.000.000 people. Including transfer passengers, rode on the cars of this system. This gives a good Idea of the responsibility that devolves upon motormen and conductors of the various lines, and Indicates the care that must be exercised In the selection of men for these positions. The closest attention Is paid to this branch of the business of the Transportation Department, because It Is realized that it Is -necessary to have men who can be relied upon to meet any and all emergencies, as well as to go through the day's work with a pleasant and accommo dating spirit. Rules have been adopted regulating the employment of men for these places, which reduce to a minimum the chance for an incompetent person to secure a position on the cars. EMPLOYING MOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS. The course that applicants go through is very interesting, showing as It does the care taken to get good men. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company employs over 800 carmen. Applications for positions as motormen and conductors are received at the offices of the Superintendents of Transportation, at -First and Alder streets ' and Fast Water street and Hawthorne avenue. Applicants are received per sonally by the Superintendents, and applications are accepted from those giving suitable references. The applicant Is then subjected to an exam ination by the company's physician as to his general physical condition, and particularly as to his eyesight. After the examination is con cluded, the physician's certificate is returned to the Superintendent, and, it satisfactory, the applicant Is eligible for employment. A com plete record of the applicants is kept, and as fa, as they are needed they are placed under the Instruction of competent men familiar with very detail of the duties which they will be required to perform. , INSTRUCTION OF MOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS, An applicant for position, after having been examined and found physically suitable. Is placed In charge of a competent motorman or conductor, who gives him thorough instruction; first, regarding the na ture of the vehicle and apparatus thereon which he Is to handle. Later the operation of the car is placed gradually In the hands of the student under the direct supervision of the Instructors. This period of Instruc tion covers from ten days to three weeks, after which the student is examined by the General Inspector, who files a certificate of efficiency with the Superintendent. If this is satisfactory to the Superintendent, the applicant then receives further instructions from the General In spector and later from the General Office. From this latter point he receives information regarding accidents and kindred subjects, and Is thoroughly examined In order to determine his general efficiency for the position he is to fill. If he successfully passes this examination, a certificate is issued which he files with the General Inspector, and his name Is then entered on the eligible list. i The details of Instruction cover for a motorman: first the general rules of the company: and second detailed Information regarding tne nature of the apparatus upon the cars and the methods of handling the same with the highest economy of time, power consumed, wear and tear on equipment and other similar points; also with regard to tne sarety, comfort and convenience of passengers. For conductors: first the general rules of the company: ana sec ond signals, issuance of transfers, names of streets, locations of narks, public buildings, railroad stations, steamboat wharves and other points upon which passengers may require information. WHAT THE COMPANY REQUIRES OF ITS MEN. One of the most Important requirements from the street railway's point of view is that all employes shall be courteous to passengers and patient at all times. The position of a public service employe Is fre quently a trying one. Some people feel that they have a right to abuse him. At times it becomes necessary to dismiss men. This may be for any one of manv reasons. While men may otherwise be competent, their manner mav be discourteous to passengers, or they may not pos sess the requisite patience. Discourtesy, laziness, complaints of pas sengers, lack of Interest and the manv things which render men In competent in other lines, make them undesirable for employment by the railway company. MERIT AND DEMERIT SYSTEM. After employment It is endeavored to hold the best men in the company's employ. Wages are adjusted according to the term of serv ice A system of Discipline by Record is employed, under which the carmen receive credit marks for meritorious acts, such as exceptionally good operation, avoiding accidents, deeds of valor, etc. Conversely, demerit marks are placed against their records covering Infractions of rules In proportion to the nature of the offense. This system is of recent adoption, being placed In effect May 15. 1908. and has been adODted In lieu of the old system of suspension, which caused a loss of time to thl employe and suffering to both him and his family. The effect is already noticeable and its continuance will, it is believed,, rapidly Increase the efficiency and morale of the platform men. jn company i pruuu ui ciuiuj" -v - tv eenerally displayed by them.
