13 THE MORNING OREGOXTAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909. OREGON SYSTEM HAS FEW FRIENDS Republican Leaders of Empire State Almost Unit Against Direct Nomination. HUGHES LOSES SUPPORT Those Who Stoood by Htm on Other Measures Turn Against Him on IMrect Primary as) Contrary to Party System. BT IXOTO F. LOVERQAX. XT5TV YORK. Jan. SS. (Special.) Tha op-state member of the Legislature are practically a unit In opposing the direct nomination plan of Governor JIuerhes. and are not making any bcnes about saying o. It was thciio same men who sup ported Mr. Hushes at Albany during his previous term and made his public serv r and antl-gnmbling bills part of the statutes. But they believe direct nom inations would result In all sorts of dis sensions, and perhaps turn the Empire Ftale over to the Pemocracy. Speaker James W. Wadiworth, Jr.. Is the decisive force In the Assembly. He stood with the Governor In all of Wi re form bills, and would probably be oc cupying the executive manalon today re It not for the announcement of Mr. Hughes that he was a candidate. The Speaker has Issued a statement on the matter, which, because of his power ful Influence, is of great Importance. He says In part: WTadsworUrj Gives Kcarou. "Because I believe the policy of direct nominations Is subversive of the funda mental principles of our Government. I shall use every proper and legitimate In fluence I possess, among my Republican colleagues In the Assembly In opposing It. 'At the same time, mindful of the mandate contained In the Republican state platform as adopted at Saratoga, I shall urge legislation for perfecting exist ing primary laws, to the end that abuses may be prevented and that nominations may be made by delegates, representing the sentiment of the majority of the party voters, freely expressed. "Our system of responsible party gov ernment on a representative basis should be perfected and dignified, not utterly abandoned. I venture to say that the government of the State of Now York Is today on as hltrh a plane as that of any other state, and I even doubt that It is equalled. The system of representative government has not been a failure, but a success. Steady procress fro-n year to year Justifies this statement and clearly Indicates that there Is no necessity for revolutionizing it completely." Senator Raines, president pro tem. of the Senate, Is the man who drew up the primary and ballot plonk adopted at the Saratoga convention. This was In terpreted at the time and accepted since as meanlns that tho Republican party was opposed to what may be called a direct nominations bill and the so-called Massachusetts ballot. Would Mean Republican Dc-reat. In his speech seconding the nomina tion of Ellhu Root for Senator, Mr. Raines made It clear that the direct nom inations bill promises to be the only crit ical Issue of the legislative session. Mr. Raines Is well aware that a definite bill for direct nominations would call for a universal personal registration In the country districts, whlc-h explains why the rural legislators, are almost solidly buhlnd Mr. Raines and Mr. Vad.-iworth. Com pulsory yearly registration would mean a h'S falling off of the vote and a conse quent los-s In the Republican majority. "It to hard enough to got tho country voters out once a year." says Mr. Raines. " If e had to drag them from their farms twice. It would be a losing prop fitlnn." tYUMnm Barnes. Jr., who rulea Albany County with a rod of Iron, brings out a novel argument In explaining his opposi tion to direct nominations. "Any politician can survive If he has the cheapness of mind to do so," says Mr. Harnes, "under any system that may be devised by the reformer, and the only loser will be the Intelllpr-nt and honorable voter. The result of the direct primary will be to domorallre the Interest of the party managiT In proper administration. In order to save himself he will be forced to confine his attention to the purely pop ular man or Issue of the hour, regardless of h! vote or Its merits. He will cease t conserve the best Interests of the people whom he represents and will simply sure port, at each particular primary, what ever Is popular. What the people of a political party demand Is leadership, which, for the general good, ruts down selfishness. Ignorance and transient popu larity, and works to the best of Its ability for the best passible results. Remedy for Boss Rale. "I sympathize readily with the man who believes that undue power exists In a political organization. Bjt the remedy lies In defeating Improper nominations at the ballot-box. not In endeavoring to de stroy the homogeneity of the rarty by forcing unnecessary Issues. "The error Into which the Governor has f tllen la the confusion between the func tion cf a political party and the function cf independent voting. It ta rare when a political party, through Its nominations, does not appeal to a great majority of the party which it represents, and to a larjre number of Independents, but when It does not It la certain to get a verdict at th ballot-box which wHl make It wise for the future." Mr. names, in his newspaper, the Al bany Evening Journal. Is running a series of article on direct nomination. The main purpc.se Is to show that the prop osition conflicts with the spirit of Amer ican Institutions, ar.d If adopted In New York, must necessarily be the forerunner of direct legislation, the Initiative and referendum, and the Initiative and recall. This. Mr. Ri-rncs urges. Is contrary to Republican doctrine, and has a tendency to destroy the principles of representative government. Leads to Dem.nsofry or Tlntocracy. A careful study has been made of the operation of the direct primary system In Wisconsin. Missouri. Illinois and Kansas. The adoption of the plan In those states, according to Mr. Barnes, "has led to demagogy, to the elimination of men most desirable for public life, ind to the sub stitution for them of money bags or demagogues." Furthermore, he declares that the nom ination of Judges for the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals bv direct nomi nations would be "practically the sale of Justice by those who were willing to an nounce In advance their Judicial attitude toward various kinds of legislation." The only supporters of the Governor's Mil are Herbert Parsons, leader of New York County; Timothy Woodruff. leadT ef Kings County ("Brooklyn), and Mr. Otmlner, leader oc Erie County CBuffalo). Here to the strength that they have m tie State Legislature, counting on the solid votes of their territory: Parsons Senators 3, Assemblymen . Woodruff Senators 6. Assemblymen 14. Grainer Senators 3, Assemblymen 4. To tal Senators 11, Assemblymen Zi. Party AV1I1 Decide Issue., There are 35 Republican State Senators and 99 Republican Assemblymen. So It will be seen that, while these three lead ers represent the most Important cities In the state, the effect on legislation Is not decisive. An up-state leader made this comment on the situation today: "Chair-nan Woodruff two years ago, thoughtlessly perhaps, took up the theory of direct nominations and advocated it. Mr. Parsons has Indorsed his standard, and I believe has failed to show that fore sight and clearness of Judgment with which his training and his education should have endowed him. "Republicana who have the future of the party at heart deeply regret that these two powerful leaders are leaning away from the concise and clear Judg ment of the country districts, where Re publicans look to the future with a vision far more prophetic than they. But the matter of direct nominations will be made a party measure and Mr. Parsons and Mr. Woodruff will be overruled by the votes of men who do not believe In radical changes." There Is some talk of a compromise whereby direct nominations for minor of ficials such aa aldermen and assembly men may be permitted In Greater New York. But state-wide direct nominations seem out of the question this year. ALL Hffi FORMED OPINION XOT A SIXGI.B MAS QUALIFIED FOR CAXJIOTJN' JURY. Lawyeri Wrangle) Abo-nt Questions Put to Talesmen About Grant of Immunity. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. iS. Falling to find a citizen who had not already made up his mind as to the guilt r Innocence of Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railroads, attorneys engaged In the trial today completed their examina tion of 12 talesmen without acceptance of a single Juror. Today's session was enlivened by ser ernl spirited controversies between F. J. Honey and the attorneys representing the defense. The basis of disagreement was the form of questions put to tales men under examination, and the Inter rogations, for the most part, related to the motives actuating the prosecution In its grant of Immunity to the bribe-taking Supervisors. Upon one occasion Stanley Moore, of the defense, was rebuked by Judge Lawlor for criticism of one of the court's rulings. The fourth panel, whloh originally con sisted of 65 citizens and which constitut ed nearly half that number for actual Investigation of their opinions and preju dices, was found, upon exhaustion today, to have brought forward not a single talesman without a firm conviction as to the merits of the case. Judge Lawlor at the afternoon session completed his preliminary Interrogation of a fifth panel of 60 men. Half of these escaped service for various reasons and the remainder will appear for examina tion as to their qualifications tomorrow. Walter E. Buck, an employe of the Associated Oil Company, replying to a question by Stanley Moore, of the de fense, declared he did not believe the situation warranted the grant of Immuni ty to all the brlde-taklng Supervisors of the Schmltz administration. Before tak ing Issue with this opinion, Mr. Heney elicited the fact that Henry Ach was at torney for the Associated Oil Company, and that TV. F. Herrln was a director. The talesman was challenged for cause and dismissed. RAISED NOTES IS CHARGE Three Young Men Arrested by Seat tle Secret Service Agent. SEATTLE. Jan. 28.

DEAL STILL PUZZLE Purchase of North End Blocks Remains Mystery. WHO IS JOHN W. CRAIG? Bayer of $1,500,000 Worth of Portland Xtealty Is Relative of C. K. Henry, but Backers Are Xot Known. "The Mysterious Mr. Craig is a cognomen that hereafter will be given the man who Is behind the deal for the tier of blocks between Twelfth and Thir teenth street, from Hoyt to Qulmby, re ported In The Oregonlan yesterday. The only Information coming to light yester day regarding this man, who has picked up between J1,000,000 and $2,000,000 worth of choice fiictory and warehouse blocks. Is that he is a brother-in-law of Charles K. Henry, who negotiated the transactions, and lives a few miles out of Los Angeles. Rumors are as rife aa ever concerning the real purpose of tho Investment, de spite the fact that on the surface the purchase of the nine blocks would ap pear to be simply and wholly a specula tive -enture by unknown capitalists. General Manager O'Brien and General Counsel Cotton, of the Harrlman sys tems In Oregon, said yesterday that the deal was not made by the Northern Pa ne Terminal Company, for one sufficient reason that the company Is enjoined by the courts from buying any more land until pending suits are determined. These suits were instituted by James J. Hill Interests and have been In the courts many months, the cause being refusal of the Terminal Company to permit trains of the North Bank Road from using the tracks of that company, and entering the Central depot. When asked to throw some light on the recent deals, Mr. Henry makes but one reply "I have power of attorney to rep resent the purchaser and under that power of attorney may sell, lease or do any other thing with the property that appeals to my Judgment. The manage ment of this large property Is absolutely In our hands and I have nothing to say regarding future plans, for I' have not yet had time to consider propositions." Asked If it was his Intention to secure possession for his principals of the re maining pieces in the strip, be said that seven-eighths of the strip had been taken over and that he proposed to rest on his oars for a time, at least, before consid ering any further deals In the tier. Mr. Henry said further that wtille he did not care to give Mr. Craig's address. It was simply because that gentleman did not want to be annoyed with Inquiries concerning the deal, for the reason that he had placed the whole matter In Mr. Henry's hands and would refer all In quirers to him. The Associated Press received the fol lowing dispatches yesterday concerning the deal: LOS ANGELE3. Jan. 28. The Los An geles financial world is unable to identify John W. Craig, of Los Angeles, stated In Associated Press dispatches from Port land, Or., to have negotiated the purchase of a valuable tract of land In that city. Members of the Craig Shipbuilding Com pany, whoso plant Is at Long Beach, have no knowledge of him. The only John W. Craig represented fn the city directory Is listed as a teamster. None of the banks here has knowledge of him. BT. PAUL. Jan. 28. President L. VT. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad, when his attention was called to the pur chase of the nine blocks of property In Portland, said: "I can say that the property was not purchased by the Great Northern, North ern Pacific, nor any of our connecting lines. M have discussed that purchase and have come to the conclusion that It was the work of the Portland Terminal Company. That company will need all of that property and a great deal more. It Is quite as Important to them as It would be to us. CLOUD OVER POLICE CHIEF Birmingham, of Aberdeen, to Be Given Investigation. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan, 28. (Spe cial.)

(From Chicago Examiner.) "Speaking from my own per sonal experience and from ob servalon of many whom I have successfully treated In the past two years. I should say that Madame Moneaux really owed her great success as a beauty specialist to the use Of a simple preparation which Is used ex clusively to develop the bust, arms and neck. I became ac quainted with this formula and have used it ever since, much to the delight of patrons. "If your bust lacks develop ment or firmness you can rely on both lncreaso and firmness from the persistent use of the following: Obtain from the druggist two ounces of glycer ine and one ounce Incture cado lne and one ounce tincture cado mom), mix and let stand sev--eral hours; then add a teaspoon ful of borax and three ounces of rosewater. Shake well and apply to the neck, arms and bust, rubbing and massaging until It Is completely absorbed: then wash the parts treated with very hot water and soap and dry thoroughly. Apply the treatment morning and night regularly for several weeks or months as the case may roqulre, and the most exquisite firmness and rounding out of hollow places will reward you. idence, R.
