lO THJE MOKXIXG OKEGOMAX, WEDNESDAY, 31 AT 12, 1UOD. ALBEE IS PICKED TO LEAD INSURPiECTQS Chaos Still Reigns in Ranks of Defeated Anti-Simon Re publican Faction. IS FIGHT FOUR-CORNERED? 3IcCuskcr-Ayer Candidate, Kellaher, Who Won't Withdraw and Munly, Who Also Has Aspirations, AH i Expected to Oppose Simon. ' Chaos in the camps of the opposition to Simon, following the crushing defeat administered by him at the primary elec tion last Saturday, has bo far failed to lve way to a mature plan Of campaign tn the second assault on the regular Re publican forces. The opposition is rally ing but as yet a single point of concen tration is lacking and it seemed next to certain, yesterday, that the fight to come is to be a four-cornered affair. While definite action is lacking, the McOusker-Ayer corps has made up its mind that H. R. Albee, ex-3tate Senator, is the Agulnaldo who can best lead the insurrecto Republicans. They are saying many nice things about Albee and figur ing industriously on his merits as Mayor alty timber and while Albee hasn't yet stripped off hiB coa-t and flung himself into the game it is understood he but waits the psychological moment. Now, Kellaher, much as the Ayer-Mc-Cuskerites would wish to see him out of the way, hasn't any lflea of retreating as an independent Republican. In fact, it is given out he Is on the eve of launch ing his active campaign and a move from lilm in that direction may be looked for almost any day. And there's Munly, the ' Democratic op ponent of Simon, who is planning to busy himself at once with the gentle art of capturing votes. In order to give a cer tain amount of impetus to the Munly campaign, the Democratic County Central Committee will meet tonight and do a little planning. The committee will meet "With Chairman George II- Thomas in the Alnsworth building and it 1b intimated some astounding thunder is to be pro pagated having to do with blanket fran chises this to add something to the chance of getting some Iemocratlc Coun cil possibilities into the limelight. Regular Republicans Tranquil. All this is fostering in the camps of these who are against the Simon regime. In the regular Republican fold all is tranquility and quietude, and confidence. Republicans who were anywhere and everywhere before the primaries are now. said to be cheerfully abiding by the re sults. Said one of these who, a week ago, was anything but a Simon man: "Simon is the Republican nominee, chosen by an expression of sentiment that is not to ba misunderstood. I am a Re publican. Consequently the only con Flstent thing for me to do Is to support the candidate so chosen." While the outcome of the primaries had a most harmonizing effect and tended to stimulate party loyalty, yet the op position is deceiving Itself into the belief that no significance is to be attached thereto. It says every Simon man was out for the primaries and that the beaters in the political bushes win not be able to make any bigger drive for the forth coming election. So the opposition, being confronted with the rigors of a four-handed combKt, claims to have no great fear. It points with enthusiasm to the fact that fewer than half the voters got out last Satur day and that the percentage that re mained at borne is suspectible to the Issues of a brisk campaign rather than to party fealty. Iet there be four In the light If there must, say those of the Mc-Cusker-Ayer political temperament. The most Simon can get is his 6000 of Satur day plus 1000 for probable gain. Hence two opposition independents, running neck and neck, would outstrip the regular nominee. This excessive optimism, how ever, said a Simon man, is oddly sug gestive of a very small boy whistling on & very dark night while walking along a very lonely lane. Lane Down and Out. And speaking of Lanes, there no longer Is any likelihood that the one of the mighty biceps will figure in the present campaign. AVhlch is a matter of some considerable disappointment to the tn surrectos, for they might have been able to concentrate on - him. Now they are charging that his name wasn't written in by the , Democratic voters of the city because of Republican machinations. Just what Republicans have to do with Demo cratic primaries isn't clear on the face of it but loud is the wall that the Demo crats have failed in a worthy mission by falling to write in the name of the doctor. As to getting behind Mr. Munly, the DemocraUo nominee, the independents will not even think of such a thing. They view him with distinct- suspicion because, one day long ago, he was suspected of being a Mitchell adherent. So, the pot's beginning to simmer. It promises to reach the boiling point ere many days. After the sluggish primaries a -reaction is quite to be suspected and it need not be at all surprising if the pre election period proves the antithesis of the pre-primary period, so far as interest and excitement are concerned. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAMED Manley Chooses Republicans to Di rect City Campaign. Chairman Manley, of the Republican City Central Committee, yesterday an nounced the members of the executive committee which will direct the campaign that is to be conducted in the interest of the Republican municipal ticket nom inated in the primary election. This committee consists of one member from each ward, as' follows: First, . Charles Conroy; Second. T. E. Fisher; Third. C. E. Lockwood; Fourth. H. Daniels; Fifth. A. J. Fanno; Sixth. C. H. Feldman; Sev enth. James F. Kertchem: Eighth, H. B. Dickinson; Ninth, J. F. Wilson; Tenth, Professor J. T. Gregg. It will be the purpose of the Republican City Central Committee frequently to hold meetings and consult with members of the executive committee, that the most effective campaign may be provided. Much of the real work of the campaign will devolve on working clubs which are to be organised in each precinct. Mem bers of the committee which is to raise funds to meet the necessary expenses of the campaign have not been appointed by Chairman Manley. TEI.li OF CAMPAIGN EXPENSES Statements of Candidates Are Ex pected to Be Low. Within ten days all those who ran In the primaries must file with City Auditor Barbur a statement of expenses incurred and bills paid. Otherwise some officious person in blue clothes and brass buttons may happen around with a misdemeanor warrant. The corrupt practices law makes it necessary to swear to a state ment of all expenditures. Now, it only cost Joseph Simon 175.75 to win. He kept his expenses down to the core, it is announced, paying only for three pages in the City Auditor's book at $20 a page, and getting out a few cards. - Rushlight is known to have plunged more extensively, for his cards simply littered the East Side, and cards run into money at a rapid rate. C. E. McDonell Invested in only one page in the City Auditor's booklet, and his addi tional expenditures bring the total up to $76 or thereabouts, it is averred. Bailey spent money in lively fashion for cards and newspaper advertising. It didn't cost Munly anything to get the Demo cratic nomination. Would-be Councilmen are .the ones re puted to have spent the money. Down in the Tenth Ward, particularly, coin was somewhat free for a- day or two, and cigars were passed around in. merry fashion. It is intimated that someone down that way may yet get into trouble for passing out cigars during his cam paign. So far none of the candidates have filed their itemized statements. The various statements, in itemized form, will be looked over with considerable interest, however, when they do appear. Ellis Would Have Signed. Joseph T. Ellis, Republican nominee for Councilman from the Tenth Ward, yes terday said that, prior to the primary election he did not receive a copy of the pledge submitted by the Republican Club and binding all candidates for Republican nomination to municipal office to support the successful nominee, as determined in the primary contest. "If I had received such a pledge," said Mr. Ellis yesterday, "I certainly would have signed it. I am not a quitter, and would have supported the successful Republican nominees, in cluding Councilman from my ward, re gardless of the result of the primary election, pledge or no pledge."

Stewart, an expressman, de mands $3000 of the Portland Railway, Llght A 'Power Company on account of an accident at East Morrison and Twelfth streets last October, in which he was thrown to the ground and se verely injured.

The motorman says Stew art drove at a fast trot on the track, and that the car could not be stopped. REPPEY MUST BE PRODUCED Friend Gets Writ to Have Him Ap pear In Court Today. George C.

SEATTLE TRYS TO BELITTLE FESTIVAL Placards Are Printed to Induce Public Not to Visit Port- land Rose Fete. HAMMERS HARD AT WORK Hotelmen Busy With Canard That This City Ships Its Flowers From California, Reports Alfred Tucker on Keturn Home. Seattle hotel men. Seattle business men and others in that city are doing all in their power to kill the Portland Rose . Festival, according . to Alfred Tucker, of Meyer, Wilson & Co., who has Just returned from Seattle. Large posters are being used, said Mr. Tucker, which ridicule the festival, lie about it and in general minimize its importance. Instead of Portland being a city of roses, the posters infer that every rose used in Portland is brought from California, and directly assert that the roses last year were shipped from California points. A type of the poster used follows: Portland Rose Festival? Yes! Portland roses come from California, Last year Portland shipped three cars of roses from California. Read this: Following the instructions to read, re production of clippings from certain dis reputable Seattle newspapers are given. These clippings purport to be San Fran cisco dispatches, and tell of dates on which it is alleged roses were shipped to Portland. Sees Poster in Hotel. "It Is just about te meanest thing I ever heard of," said Mr. Tucker yes terday. "The Seattle men seem to be afraid that the Rose Festival will eclipse the A-Y-P by opening about the same time. I first saw the poster a few days ago. I was in the Savoy Ho tel at Seattle at the time. About 40 men were present, and my friends asked me about the Seattle fair. " 'Will it eclipse the Lewis and Clark fair?' they asked. I told them 'No.' There were so many different features that comparison was impossible. I said, Where the A-Y-P has the fair grounds in better condition, tiie site is no finer.'. I said I could -not discuss the size of the buildings, as they appeared to be on a par. 'Are you coming to see our Rose Festival?' I then asked. " 'Rose Festival!" snorted one- of my friends. 'Look at this.' "A word was passed to the clerk, and he gave us a poster ridiculing the Fes tival. My friends told me on this lying authority that we had no roses in Port land. We obtained them all from Cali fornia, they said. They told me the Fes-, tival last year was the biggest bunco scheme ever worked and everyone in Seattle would do all they could to pre vent visitors going to Portland to be fooled. They insisted the Festival was a complete exhibition of swindling and was just designed to attract visitors from their fair. Takes Pains to "Knock." "I tried to set them right, but it did no good. A little later I dropped into the Butler Hotel and asked about the Rose Festival. The clerk took especial pains to knock it. Rather eagerly I then asked about the poster. Probably he guessed then I was from Portland, for he tried to evade the matter, but I gath ered quite clearly that he had one stowed away. "From a number of Seattle men I gathered this procedure was to be pushed to the limit. Any unwary stran ger asking about Portland will be shown these posters, with a little verbal addi tion tending absolutely to give the im pression that Portland is a barren desert. "I don't want to knock the fair, for the grounds are beautiful and well laid out. Of course, they won't have roses, but thousands of rhododendrons have been planted, and these will all be in gorgeous bloom at the opening week. "Portland has done such a lot for the Seattle fair that meanness of this nature ought to be exposed. . It's a gen uine exhibit of the 'Seattle spirit,' and is devised solely to hurt the Rose Fes tival and Portland. I don't think they can be successful, but it shows the line they are taking with the visitor who asks about Portland. I am assured that almost every hotel clerk in Seattle, when asked about Portland, exhibits one of the noxious, lying sheets." BENEFIT TO BE BIG AFFAIR Talent to Donate Services for Rose Festival. Milton W. Seaman, general manager of the big theatrical benefit for the general Rose Festival fund, which is to be held at the Baker Theater next Sat urday night, has arranged for the ex hibition of a series of 10 magic lantern slides advertising the show at all the moving-picture show houses in the city.

PLANS MADE FOR BIG PARADE Uniform Ranks of Fraternal Orders to Be in Line. Captain E. M. Lance, of the Knights of Maccabees, yesterday notified the "Home Coming Day" committee of the Rose Festival, that he would have two fine drill companies entered in the pa rade on the opening night of the Fes. tival. Captain Lance will lead this di vision of the uniform rank. The Knights have recently secured fine new uniforms and their first appear ance will be in the "Home Coming Day" parade. The Maccabee uniform rank will occupy full two blocks in the line of march and the regular drills through which the members are maneuvered will be continued until the Festival to put the division in fine fettle for the competition for the Elk trophy which has been offered. The Arion Society and the Turn Ver ein are preparing their marching force to take part and will enter strong dele gations In the procession. Full attendance of the Oregon Na tional Guard and the Spanish War Vet erans, together with all the union bands in the city will form a nucleus for one of the most imposing street pageants of the Festival week. The Festival, Monday, ordered a 2500-candle-power searchlight, which will occupy a position at the head of the parade, and has already arranged for the appearance of two flrewagons, one to lead and the other to follow the cavalcade. As illumination of the procession, 3000 electric sparklers have been bought by the committee and will be distributed among the various sections of the parade and among the specta tors lining the streets through which the procession will pass. While Chairman Fouts is endeavor ing to get all the uniform rank organ izations in the city 'to enter, he urges all fraternal, social and other bodies to come to the front and enter marching- clubs.
