But it was their conviction that, enjoyln the personal friendship of Theodore Roosevelt, and with the added prestige he has won by his rare busi ness administration of the Collector's" of fice, he wouid carry the city by a fine plurality." i All of which to highly interesting, and the idea has been followed up by all the metropolitan newspapers. But It might be. mentioned in this connection that the first mention of Loeb In connection with the Mayoralty nomination appeared in The Oregonian on June 21. And it also goes to prove that there is a strong bull movement in Loeb stock in the local political market.

Tammany Methods and Has I-caders' Praise Loeb Is Strongest Rival. BY LIOTD F. LONEBOAN. NETW YORK. Aug. 6. (Special) For the first time In the present city cam palgn. a candidate for Mayor, opposed to Tammany Hall, has gone to the ex pense of Issuing campaign buttons. The name of this pioneer Is Charles 9. Whit man, who made a fine record during the time that he was a Police Magistrate and Judge of General Sessions. W hitman Is one of the active, energetic Republicans. He caused surprise some month ago by praising the Tammany system of organization, and declaring that the G. O. P. could never hope for success until it "played politics 365 days In the year." Tammany is on the Job all the time." he said in the course of a speech in the republican Club. "If a poor man In the tenement-house district gets Into trouble, he naturally turns to the Tammany elec tion di.trict captain or the Tammany dis trict leader for relief. The Republican district organization Is never In evidence except on election day. That is why we are In the minority except when the citi zens are thoroughly aroused. The peo ple naturally vote for the men who stand by them in times of suffering or stress." Whitman Clubs Abound. Judge Whitman Is now In Europe, but la expected back in the United States towards the end of the present month. His friends declare that his return will be signalized by an active campaign, which they hope and expect will land him at the head of the anti-Tammany ticket. At present there are no signs of a real "Whitman campaign." But all over the Fiist Side numerous "Charles S. Whit man Clubs" have been organized, and their rulers believe that they have got in on the ground floor. The Magistrate Is a close personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt. He 'has been publicly praised by Governor Hughes, who promoted him to the Gen eral Sessions bench. Bet.i Low, who ma.1e him a Magistrate, has frequently declared that "Whitman's selection was the best appointment I ever made." And the general public Is fond of him, as is shown by the excellent run he made while a candidate for public office. Reforms He Effected. Whitman made an excellent record while dispensing Justice In the police courts. He early discovered that it was a shame and a disgrace to lock up chil dren with the usual criminal riffraff, and fought early and late for a reform. As the result of his efforts, the Children's Court was established. Following this reform. Whitman began a crusade against the professional bomis men. and thereby struck a blow at one of the most open sources of police graft. It had been a time-honored custom dur ing many years for patrolmen to lock up unfortunate women as soon as the police courts rinsed. Then the prisoners were Induced to pay for a bondsman, who. It was popularly supposed, divided his "fee" with somebody higher up. Whitman realized ti at there was only one way to break up this, system, conse quently ho commenced a crusade for a night court. Thlch would Insure quick action in every case of arrest. It took two years to bring the Legislature around to this point of view, but Whit man finally won out. Now New York lias a continuous eystem of police courts, magistrates being on duty 1 from & o'clock In the morning until 3 o'ciock the next morning. As a result of his fine record Judge Whitman wa promoted to the Court of General Sfssions to fill a vacancy. He was his party's candidate for the full term. ut went down to defeat with his associates, although he ran many thou sand of votes ahead of the rest of the ticket. Judge Whitman, since his retirement from the bench, has achieved fame as the head of the Anti-Policy Society, founded by Captain F. Norton Goddard. This1 organization sent the notorious "AI." Adams to the penitentiary and practically put this swindling game out of business in Greater New York. Leaders Speak Well of Him. Although the candidate has always been an organization Republican, he has many friends in independent organiza tions. In fact, it is violating no confi dence to say that he would be perfectly acceptable to the Committee of One Hun dred and the Citizens' Union. It must be understood that he Is not in anv way the candidate of these associations, but there is nothing in his personality or rep utation which would n:ak them oppose him if thi reqrular Republicans suggested Ms nomination. Herbert Parsons, chairman of the New Yo-k County Republican Oommlttee. Is a p-rsonal friend of Judge Whitman. When seen today he said: "It is a little too early to decide on rl,e personality of mayoralty candidates, but I am willing to say that Judge Whit man Is an excellent type of high-class Republicanism, and would make an ex cellent Mayor. Whether or not he will be nominated I am not willing to say at the present time." 'I do not care to go on record as to candidates at the present time," says Timothy I Woodruff, of Brooklyn, "but nobody can deny that Judge Whitman would make an excellent Mayor. Whether or rot he will be nominated is a question that cannot bo decided at present." A. these two men. Parsons and Wood ruff, will practically decide the Identity of the Republican candidate for Mayor tl.elr statements are received with satis faction by frlerds of the ex-magistrate. They believe that if they keep up the campaign and fight hard their candidate will be nominated. I.oeb Slock Is Booming. In the meantime the boom for Col lector of the Port William Loeb, Jr.. is growtng stronger every day. and is well worth careful consideration. The only New York paper to wake up to this view of the case is the Fress. recognized as t ie leading local Republican ..daily. The rress came out the other day with Tar ing headlines. "Loeb Now the Man to Hi at Tammany.'1 and goes on to say: "William l.oe. Jr.. Oollector of the Port, may be the anti-Tammany candi date, for Mayor this Fall. He need only iift hi little finger. It was said yester day, to get the nomination. As to hs tl.-ctlon his admirers have no doubt on DEMOCRATS NOT SPLIT BY TAR IFF BILL, HE SATS. EVANS TAKES REVENGE CAUSES INQUIRY INTO WORK OF HARSH CRITIC. Navul Ofricer Accused or Gl-ving Cruiser Defective Boilers by Carelessness. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. (Special.) A naval board of Inquiry began tak ing testimony today at the Mare Island Navy-yard on charges of poor repair work done recently on the cruiser Cali fornia under the supervision of Com mander Clarence A.

In reply to what he terms "the misrepresentations of Democrats m the papers," Champ Clark, leader of the minority In the House, today gave out a statement re garding the course of the Democratic members of the House in connection with the Payne bill. "The old saying that habit la aecond nature was never more strikingly Illus trated than by the fact that many news papersgenerally Republican or near Republican and more individuals, keep mouthing about the dissensions among the Democrats and the perfect unity among House Republicans, notwithstand ing the truth known of all men who care to know that the House Democrats came out of the tariff fight more thor oughly united on that question than they had been in a generation, and the Re publicans came out of it worse shattered than ever before," said Clark. Mr. Clark asserted that on hiB motion last Spring to recommit, all his colleagues stood with him. and that on the Payne bill itself, after his motion was defeated, the Democrats lost four votes to the Re publicans one a net loss to his party of three a more nearly unanimous Demo cratic tariff vote than at any time In a generation. "On Mr. Payne's motion to recommit the conference report." said Mr. Clark, "the Democrats were more solid and the Republicans more divided than at any time since the Civil War. On that occasion, only one Democrat, as against 20 Republicans, bolted." Mr. Clark went on to show that on the vote to adopt the conference report, the Democrats, as before, held together on the whole solidly, giving the "House machine" a majority of only 12 votes. He stated that Mr. Payne's reason for moving to recommit was a desire to head off what he believed to be a Democratic plan to recommit with instructions -a plan which never existed," said Mr. Clark. "Many newspapers." concluded Clark, "are trying to make It appear that the Payne-Aldrlch-Smoot bill is a revis ion downward. This is absolutely untrue. The average of rates of the Payne-AId-rlch-Smoot bill is about 2 per cent higher than the average rate of the Dingley bill. When the maximum goes into effect, March 31, 1910. the average rate will be about 27 per cent higher than the aver age of the Dingley bill."
