HAVE EYES ON PATRONAGE Attempt of "Nonpartisan" Faction to Break In Not Attended With Snccesa uncu wi . From Now Till Election. Busy as bees are the leaders of the DmoeratIc host In their headquarte The speech of Beverldge Tuesday night get them scurrying to counteract what ever Influence It might have by spread ing broadcast a printed circular, let ting forth alleged omlailona and short comings of the epeech.

Chairman Thomas, of the Multnomah County Committee, says hat Bryan's victory in this state will at least equal Chamberlain s 1522 plurality for United mates Senator, while his more optimis tic brethren are counting on &ono or 10.000 plurality. Means Much In Patronage, As a matter of fart, however, down deep in the hearts of the Bryan man agers In this state there la not very trong hope of giving Oregon's four electoral votes to Bryan. But there la firm-seated belief that Bryan may win in the Nation. This would mean big ihlnci for the Democratic brethren in Oregon In the line of patronage. Con sequently. they are striving hard to rnake as fine a showing as possible for Bryan In Oregon anu to other. Should Bryan win. the dictators of Oreaon patronage will be Alex Bweek, chairman of the State Central Commit tee; Milton A. Miller. National Commlt ' teeman; George H. Thomas, chairmanof tlut Multnomah County Central com mittee: John B. Kyan, secretary of the State Committee, and Governor Cham berlain. These men are virtually run i nlng the whole of Bryan'a campaign In Oregon, despite the effort of a bunch of "non-partisans' to break In. headed by C. 8. Jackson and J. N. Teal. These two men constituted a committee which undertook to raise a campaign fund and disburse It. and otherwise take important functions away from the State and County Central Committees, but which ended up In doing little or nothing.

Uellert and Story, recently elected by the Board of Health, and conditions have been found to be bad In some Instances. Itch seems to be prevalent, and scalp dis ease Is also apparent. At Shattuck School six cases of Itch were detected, lilphtherta has not been discovered as yet by either of the Inspectors. Reports have been made by the In spectors as follows: I-adS pvhool One case of Itch, one of snr throst. in which a culture was taken nd shown to be iterative, aad one case of adenoid. It was erroneously reported that four cases of diphtheria were detected there. hattuck School Two cases of adenoids inl diseased tossrs: one ess or nasal ca tarrh, one cas of ringworm, on case of fur.sotd growth, six cases of Itch. Cou-h School On esse of Itch and on ef nal ottructton. Fsllinc School Two esses of dlrtv scalp, one cas of a child at home with war throat, no physician In attendaace; on cas of adenoids. The Inspectors make their reports to the Health Olflcer. who notifies the parents of the condition of their chil dren, and unless they immediately secure medical attention, the department takes hand and elves proper treatment. Mrs. Rachel P. S hat to. elected to the position of school nurse. has not entered upon her duties as yet, but will In th near future. She will work in conjunction vlth the inspectors, and will devote her time teach Ins; parents bow to treat cases reported by the Id- pctor. especially in the foreign quarters. City Superintendent Rlgler stated yesterday that the inspector are wel come in the schools and their help in detecting- disease is appreciated, but he was unable to understand how the re port of four cases of diphtheria was made from the Ladd School. He felt that 11 was Inspired by the inspectors, be said, but he had investigated the re port and learned that it was incorrect. There were some cases In the district, but none were discovered In the school when Dr. Gellert roads; his Inspection of the building;. C M. Klcifins, principal of the Ladd School, yesterday made the following: statement: I -vrlah to assure the patrons mod public that there lm no occasion for tb alarm prompted by tills report because It is froMiy incorrect. The facts are as follows: The day previous to the doctor's visit an Inquiry, made by a teacher eoncsrnisc the ahaanc of a little girl. revealed th child's Ulneaa and that sh was belnf treated by a physician for diphtheria. The City Board of Health vu Immediately notified and a request mads for the fumigation of the room. With commendable promptness Dr. Gellert appeared at the building;, and after an Inspection of the throats of the afflicted child's roommates, he pronounced them in fine physical condition Ko rases of diph theria were found. No children were sent to their homes. One little 6-year-old child admitted she had a bad cold (cultures taken from this child's throat have been since re ported negative ones) scd another of the EXCURSION V, is " i row. same ajre, after exposing; her throat to the Inspection of the doctor, proudly bared her arm and said. "ee what I caught from mjr couvln in Pendleton." This child may havs been afflicted mith the Itch which shs helped to discover, but one, not two, -a as Involved. That a little boy afflicted with adenoids greeted tha doctor Is absolutely true. There were marii others. aufTerlnc from adenoids. who are In regular attendance in the schools. but this should Siva no cause for sponta neous alarm. Dr. Parker, of the City Foard of Health, disclaims responsibility for the appearance of the report and denies any attempt on the part of Dr. Gellert to add prestijce to bl department by Inspiring- the rroneous report. STAYS H1Y FROM MILT BOURSE SLIGHTS BEYER IDGE AT ARMORY SfEETISG. Reported That Indianan Soled. Sen- ator's Coolness and Later Re fused to Talk 'With Him. While Senator Beverldge was speaking for Taft Tuesday nls;ht and Republican enthusiasm waa at hlfth tide Senator Bourne, who would be the first Repub lican figure In Oregon, was nowhere to be seen In the Armory, though he had received a ticket tor a platform seat and was a member of the reception commit tee. Senator Bourne was so conspicuous by his absence that Democrats are glee fully pointing to It as evidence of his apRthy toward Taft. During the rally Senator Bourne waa off by himself in the Arlington Club nursing a cold, fearful that It would develop Into pneumonia should he appear in public. It waa known for a considerable time prior to the rally that Bourne would not be able to attend. One reason as signed was his well-known aversion to appearing in public Never has Senator Bourne been known to make a speech, and he has always avoided appearing where he might be called upon' for re marks. As Senator Bourne would have been expected to occupy the platform alongside Senator Fulton he would cer tainly not desire to give Fulton any ad vantage or leadership over himself. since Fulton makes speeches. while Bourne does not, and Fulton moreover was to Introduce Beverldge. This In it self would give Bourne a place of sec ondary importance. It is noised about that Beverldge ob served the conduct of Senator Bourne and flatly refused after the rally to speak to him over the phone, as Bourne re quested him to do. Bourne had left at the Commercial Club a note asking Bev erldge to call him up at the Arlington Club by telephone, after returning from the rally. The story goes that Bever ldge on entering the Commercial Club asked for the key to the room that was assigned to him. but was first of fered the note from Bourne. Whereupon Beverldge exclaimed sharply: 'I didn't ask for anything from Sen ator Bourne: give me my key." Beverldge had been received at the train by Senator Fulton. Judge C V. Gantenbein. R. E. Williams. C. W. Hodson and C. S. McArthur. Though Bourne was a member of the committee, he failed to be present. Beverldge was escorted to the Commercial Club, where after a time Bourne put in an appear ance. The party then went to the Ar mory by auto, where Bourne took his leave, saying ha feared the drafts of the hall would be bad for his cold. At Democratic headquarters County Chairman Thomaa thinks Bourne's ab sence was significant of the displasure felt by many Republicans with Taft and as evidence that they will support Bry an. Chairman Thomaa otherwise thinks the Beverldge rally in many other ways made TOtes for Bryan. Sew Liberal Party Formed. CHATTANOOGA. Oct 8.

Socialists, Prohibitionists and Inde pendents Are Carrying On Ac tive Campaign in State. Oregon's three lesser political parties think they will cast some 20,000 votes in the Presidential election. These votes, if combined for one of the two leading candidates, would probably carry this state for him. The strong est of the three minor parties Is the Socialist, which will cast between 7003 and 10,00 votes. Prohibitionists ex pect to cast 5000 or 6000 votes, and the Hearst Independents will also come in for several thousand. The total of these three parties will make a large aggregate opposition to Taft . and Bryan. The Populists have no separate ticket in Oregon and their votes will be divided between the Democratic, the Socialist and the Independence candi dates. Each of the minor parties has an active propaganda. Each has headquarters In Portland and is in communication with Its local centers throughout the state. Each is making e. campaign of speeches. Last night the Socialists were repre sented at Pendleton by Tom J. Lewis, of New York, National organizer of the party, who will make a campaign In Eastern Oregon, and at Roseburg by Ed Lewis, who will make a campaign In Western Oregon. On October 15, Herbert Langerock, an American correspondent of several European newspapers, will come to Oregon to make a series of speeches. Recently Debs, the Socialist candidate for President, passed through this part of the country. Last week Arthur Morrow Lewis, a Chicago Social ist, made several speeches. Thomaa Sladden. state secretary of the party, is heading the organization work. Socialists point with pride to their having paid Debs J1O0O for his visit to Portland. Of this sum, 8232 was raised by donations and more than 8SO0 from sales of reserved seats at the Debs rally. The Sociallstparty in Oregon haa some 84 local divisions. In Multnomah are seven branches of the local for this dis trict. Prohibitionists, for the rest of the cam paign, will have to rely, on local speak ers. The chief work in this direction will be done by J. P. Newell, state chair man; F. McKercher, secretary, and B. Lee Paget, treasurer. Next Wednesday at the White Temple. W. P. Elmore, of Brownsville, is scheduled to speak. Hearst is scheduled to speak for the Independence party next Monday. Cameron Submits Brief in Lid Case. District Attorney Cameron submitted his brief on the Sunday law. and the temporary Injunction issued last week re straining him from arresting any more violators, to Presiding Judge Gantenbein. of the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. It consists simply of a few notes rela tive to the points mads by the district attorney. Judge Gantenbein doubts if he will be able to reach a decision on the case by Saturday night, on account of the large number of authorities cited by the attorneys for the violators of the an tiquated Sunday statute. Tomorrow (Saturday) will positively be last day for discount on West Side gaa bills, Don't forget to resvd Qua Tins. ! JiS i i .Hi r , x ; SUES FOR REALTY G.

Fred Rooney was killed at the corner of Main street. The motorman contends that his car was running but 10 miles an hour, that he was sounding his gong and that Rooney apparently stopped to permit the car to pass, then suddenly lunged forward on the track when the car was within a few feet of him.

GEVURTZ, 173 First street. bars. Adler secured from his former home in Europe a letter signed by the town magistrate, saying that while he was there he was not an anarchist and did not advocate anarchistic principles. But the letter if seen by the grand jury evidently had little effect In saving Adler from the trial, for he was in dicted. It was at one time thought that Adler was connected with a black hand organization, his threatening let ter bearing such Indications.
