Probably 2000 Changed Party
in Multnomah.
PLACED CAKE ON TICKET
In Portland Atone 639 Shifted This
Tear, 'While Newcomers and
Young Men Greatly In
creased This Number.
Out of 3585 electors who reghrtered as
Democrats In Portland In 1908. 539
changed In 1908 to Republican this num
ber by actual count. In the whole county
there were more than 600 such "Hoppers."
The Multnomah records, between 1905
and 190A. show bis flopping, of Democrats
then also.
Added to these two classes of Demo
crats that have invaded Republican pri
maries are many Democratic newcom
ers and youths who registered the first
time In 1906 or 1908 as Republicans, but
who cannot be detected In the records.
Party Invaders Nnmber 2000.
The total number of these Invaders In
Multnomah County Is probably not less
than JOOO.
Records of other counties would proba
bly show the total Democrats out of place
In Oregon not less than 6000, and per
haps mora.
, This element held the balance of power
In the Republican primaries of 1908. Most
of its members voted for nomination of
Cake, against Fulton, for United States
Senator. Cake's lead over Fulton in the
who) state was only 2487, and in Mult
nomah 1099. In th general election tbey
voted for the Democratic nominee. Cham
berlain, giving him a lead of 1522 In the
state and 1067 In Multnomah. .
Democratic Increase Is Small.
Republican registration, between 190S
and 1908. Increased 8166 In Multnomah,
but Democratic registration Increased
only 1321 In that period. This In itself
shows the registration fraud.
These flopping Democrats constitute
about seven out of every 100 voters In
Multnomah County. They register Re
publican, vote In primaries for nomina-
tlon of weak Republican candidates, and
cast their ballots In the election for Dem
ocratic candidates.
The Republican vote falls far short of
the registered Republican total, while the
Democratic vote naturally exceeds Its
registered figure.
In the registration of 1908- were 44
times as many Republican names as
Democratic. But In the general election
vote for Congressman the party vote
ho wed only 2V4 or three times as many
Republicans as Democrats.
Another Evidence of Fraud.
t
In these two years the total number of
ballots cast in Republican primaries in
creased 6500. but in Democratic primar
ies the number remained stationary. This
Is another plain evidence of fraud.
Each of these Democrats declares on
oath that he Is Republican.
The direct primary law became opera
tlve in Portland In 1905 and In Oregon In
290C.
Its plain effects are Invasion of Re
publican primaries by Democrats, nom
ination of weak Republican candidates.
election of Democratic candidates for
whom a light may be concentrated, per
Jury In registration, break-up of the ma
jority party, and Impairment If not de
struction of the party system.
Scrutiny of registration books In Mult
nomah County reveals names of 539 elec
tors In Portland who In 190 registered
Democratic and this year changed to Re
publican. These figures prove conclusive
ly the wholesale participation of Demo
crats In the Republican primaries last
April. The examination, carried through
country prectnots of Multnomah, would
raise the total of these registrations to
about 600.
The 59 false registrations In Portland
are only a fraction of the true number.
In 1906. Just as In 190S. many Democrats
changed their registration to Republican,
probably equally as many. Then again,
la each of those years a big number of
Democratic newcomers and youths not
previously registered added their names
to the false registration. The records
show that in the years 1906. 1907 and
1908 the number of electors doubled.
These several classes of Democrats, taken--!
all together, by conservative estimate,
amount to HXo which represents the
probable number of false Republican reg
istrations In Multnomah, after making
due allowance for genuine political
changes. If these voted in Republican
primaries and then supported Democratic
nominees, mscy strange discrepancies be
tween primaries and election can be ac
counted for.
Among those registered as Republicans,
as Inspection of the records shows, are a
great many well-known and some promi
nent Democrats.
In going through the city precinct
books one is astonished by the many ap
parent changes of political faith in Demo-
era tic registration. Tha changes from
Republican to Democratic registration are
so few as to be almost unnotlcesble. One

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept.; 20. Spe

today. that, she believed the children of

men and women. -
"Did my boys go to public schools?
No; that would have been most selfish
in a city like New York, where our
schools are. crowded.' It is only fai
that parents who -can afford it should
send their children to private schools,
and thus allow room In the public
schools or children who must depend
upon the public schools for their entire
education.
"My boys were sent, like thousands
of other New York children, to private
schools, where they were in dally con
tact with other children. They studied
like ordinary bys and had the same
ambition In their school work. Whea
they had finished school they were sent
away to college."

WASHINGTON,' Sept. 20.;-(Special.)
The recent revelations regarding Senator
Foraker's secret relations with the
Standard Oil Company and the question
whether in light of them lie would be
permitted to take part in the campaign
for the election of Judge Taft to the
Presidency have led one of the inner cir
cle to tell of repudiated negotiations be
tween Taft and Foraker leaders for har
mony In Ohio.
While .the then Secretary of War was
absent on his last official trip to the
Philippines, Senator Murray Crane, of
Massachusetts, succeeded in bringing
about an agreement between Foraker and
representatives of the Taft party for the
support of- Taft in Ohio in return for
Taft's friends supporting Foraker for the
Senate.
Taft Exhibits Much Wrath.
When Taft got back to Washington, one
of his closest friends was selected to
break to him the news of the agreement
and see how he would take It. Taft
was furious and exhibited rage and in
dignation that would have -surprised
those who had looked on him as an
easy-going, mild-mannered man, possibly
lacking somewhat in backbone.
'I'll ..not stand for it," tie is reported
to have exclaimed with vehemence. "I
don't care who are the parties to this
agreement, I do not want the Presidency
at that price."
Said. the. friend who -had carried the
news to him, afterward: "I thought the
big fellow was going to throw me out
of the window."
Never Sought Peace With Foraker.
This story goes to explain why, at no
time since efforts have been made to
reconcile tne Taft and Foraker forces.
has Judge Taft shown any open desire
to have Foraker's support, although
Foraker has apparently been In a mood
to welcome peace, even' if he had to
fight for it, as he did when he and his
adherents with money, said to have been

. Schools Turned Into Hospitals.
Disease of Virulent Type.
ST. PETERSBURG, 'Sept. !0. St.
Petersburg .is In the deadly grasp of
Asiatic cholera, which already has ex
ceeded in severity and number of deaths
the visitation of 1SSS. The disease is in
creasing daily at an alarming rate and
unless the authorities show in the future
a much greater degree of ability to cope
with the situation than they have in the
past, there Is every reason to fear that it
will get out of hand. The government's
threat to apply the provisions of martial
law has driven the municipal officials to
bend all their energies to clearing the
city of the scourge.
Council Votes $250,000.
The Aldermanlc Council today voted
$250,000 to enlarge the hospital space, to
purchase and distribute disinfectants, the
supply of which in St. Petersburg is well
nigh exhausted, and to expedite the in
terment of bodies, which has been notor
iously slow. The deadhouses are over
crowded and many corpses, lie unburled.
Stops Sale of Liquor.
Under his authority, the Prefect- of St.
Petersburg General Drachetfcky, on Sat
urday, prohibited " the sale of liquor
throughout the city, including the gov
ernment vodka shops, until September
22, and he haa further ordered that here
after the sale of the liquor shall be sus
pended at 2 P. M. on Saturday until 1
A. M. Monday. This action has been
taken in order to diminish alcoholic ex
cesses, which very materially increase
the liability to cholera infection and the
general spread of the disease.
Schools Become Hospitals.
A beginning was made today when
public schools were transformed into hos
pital wards. A number of the grammar
schools were closed and 4000 students
sent to their homes. The Department of
War has opened stores to supply Im
mediate needs and army field kitchens
have been dispatched to the poorer quar
ters to dispense free food.
Assumes Virulent Type.
The situation assumes a graver as
pect from the appearance today of a
very virulent type of the disease in two
cases, of which death followed within
IS minutes of the first symptoms. As
announced by the official bulletins, the .
cases numbered 849 and the deaths 128
during the 24 hours between Friday noon
and Saturday noon. This was a consid
erable decrease from the preceding day.
but there is doubt of the accuracy of
the official statement.
Withhold Bad News.
The record for the same 24 hours ac-
certalned from official bulletin sources "
shows the. actual number to have been
far in excess of that. Whether or not
there was an actual decrease, the dis
ease resumed its march on Saturday, the'
statistics posted showing that from Sat
urday noon until Sunday noon there were
cases and 191 deaths, this being the
largest number so far.
All Types Developed-.
It is feared the cholera will last another
fortnight, being igured on the basis of
former epidemics. All varieties of Asiatic
cholera have now developed here, there
being numerous cases of the Algid type
which is accompanied by the greatest
suffering.
Calls Plague Punishment.
The metropolitan of St. Petersburg
caused prayers for deliverance to ba
read throughout the diocese today. In
which the pestilence is described as
a punishment for the people's lawless
ness. Premier Stolypln has sharply repri
manded the municipal officials for the
appalling conditions. At Obuchofg
Hospital, which he visited on Saturday,
he found that three bathrooms were
doing service for 300 patients. The
physicians were powerless to carry out
the proper course of treatment, and
the mortality at this hospital has been
three times that of other hospitals.
Nine Nurses Stricken.
Three of the nurses at this institu
tion were stricken with the disease
yesterday, making ' a total of nine
nurses now under treatment for
cholera. . -
Practically nothing has been dona
up to the present to put the city's mar
ket places in a sanitary condition;
they are places of Indescribable filth,
with the atmosphere reeking with foul
odors. One hundred carloads of fruit
have been auctioned off and forwarded
to Warsaw, Vllna and other towns,
