CAKE MAY RESIGN
Chairman Not Wholly in Accord
With Assembly Plan.
MEETING EXPECTED SOON
Resignation, if Offered, Must Be
' Acted Upon by Committee Grow
ing Sentiment in Kvidence
at McKinley Dinner.
Rumor is current that when the Re
publican state central committee is
called to meet in this city, probably
In February, W.'M. Cake, state chair
man, will offer Ills resignation. While
Mr. Cake has not made any announce
ment of his' plans, it is reported that
for some time he has been seriously
considering giving: up the chairman
ship of the state committee. The re
port that he will resign, however,
could not be confirmed yesterday, ef
forts to find him at either his office
or his residence being unsuccessful.
The reason for Mr. Cake's con
templated retirement as state chairman
are not known. It Is believed that the
principal reason, however, is the fact
that he Is not entirely in accord with
the proposed assembly. From the in
ception at the assembly movement Mr.
Cake has not been over-enthusiastic in
his advocacy of this plan of suggesting
candidates to the voters at the primary
election. He has refrained from giving;
a public expression of his views on the
assembly and. althouglv he has attended
several meetings at which the assembly
was discussed, has been satisfied to re
main in the background as an observer,
rather thai an advocate, of. the plan.
This is believed to be the principal in
fluence which has suggested the prob
able action of Mr. Cake In deciding to
step aside and surrender the office to
a more aggressive supporter of the
assembly.
Party Call Xot Issued. ,
Soon after the first of the year Mr.
Cake announced that he would issue an
official call, requesting the members of
the state committee to assemble In
Portland either late In January or early
in February. That call has not been
issued. It is the desire of the assembly
forces that the committee be called to
gether soon that the many details of
the approaching campaign and general
election can receive attention. It is
expected Mr. Cake will issue the call
for a meeting of the committeemen In
a few days, as his resignation, if he
hall tender it, cannot be accepted and
his successor elected except at a meet
ing of the committee.
Important among the subjects that
will come before the committee when it
meets will be that of considering some
definite plan of action for adoption
throughout the state in holding state
and county assemblies which will be
held probably In every county of the
state this year. Eighty-five per cent
of the Republican voters of the state
who have been interviewed on the
subject have-declared in favor of the
assembly. More than a majority of
these Republicans declined to make any
recommendations as to the manner in
which delegates should be chosen for
either the county or the state as
semblies. This, they explained, was a
detail which properly should be con
sidered by the members of the state
committee. In fact, the members of
this committee will be expected to
recommend to the various counties of
the state the general plan under which
the proposed assemblies should be held,
including suggestions as to the method
of electing delegates to the state as
sembly. Committee Favors Assembly.
So far as has been learned, a ma
jority of the members of the state com
mittee are in sympathy with the as
sembly. For that reason they un
doubtedly will come to Portland pre
pared to exchange Ideas and decide on
a plan which will insure thoroughly
representative bodies, chosen, as nearly
as practicable, directly by the voters
In the different precincts. The senti
ment thus far expressed In this con
nection favors the election of dele
gates to the state assembly by the
county assemblies. .The membership of
the county assemblies, It Is urged by
nearly all of the Republicans Inter
viewed, should be made up of members
of the party elected by precinct pri
maries by the Republican voters.
Pro-assembly sentiment was strongly
In evidence at the McKinley dinner of
the Portland Republican Club Saturday
night. It was a representative gather
ing of Republicans from all parts of the
state. . Several of the speakers, in re
citing the many qualities of McKinley
as reflected In his public career, could
not - refrain from making the pointed
reference that the martyred President,
whose anniversary was being commem
orated, was the type of'man produced
under the assembly or convention plan
ot submitting to the voters for their
indorsement desirable candidates for
public office. Members of the party
from outside counties, although not
called upon formally to address the
gathering. Individually reported that
the sentiment throughout the state was
rapidly developing in favor of the pro
posed pre-primary advisory meetings
for the suggestion of candidates for
state and county offices.

I TO TELL
Governor Benson to Speak Feb. 12.
B. E. Kennedy, a Baker City newspaper
man, who was at the Imperial yesterday,
reported that the Republicans of that
place have made extensive arrangements
for their Lincoln day banquet which will
be held Saturday night. February 12.
Governor Benson will be the principal
speaker. Jay Bowerman. State Senator
from Gilliam County, has also accepted
an Invitation to deliver an address at
the dinner. A number of Republicans
from this city are planning to go to
Baker City on that occasion. Provision
will be made for the accommodation of
500 banqueters.

Defendant May Be Witness in
Own Behalf Today.
SEVERAL POINTS SCORED
Ileney Believes Evidence Strong, De
fense Regards It Weak in Light
of Commissioner's Duties.
Attorneys Secretive.
Binger Hermann will be a witness
in his own 'behalf. That he will be
placed on the stand has been deter
mined by his attorneys, but it has not
been ascertained at what stage of the
proceedings the ex-Commissioner of the
Geners.1 Land Office will be called. It
is believed that the gray-haired defend
ant may appear as the first witness this
morning.
Hermann, It is conjectured, will be
asked by his counsel to explain away
many of the points which the Govern
ment scored during the three weeks of
his trial. The evidence against him
was mainly documentary and cited con
versations between him and citizens of
Oregon. Attorney Heney regards the
evidence as damaging to the defendant,
but in the light of the official duties
of the Commissioner, Hermann's at
torneys say, the evidence will be given
an altogether different appearance and
meaning.
Several Points Scored.
The first point made by the Govern
ment against Hermann was an alleged
conversation in the office of ex-Surveyor-General
Meldrum. when It was testi
fied Hermann advised F. P. Mays of
the best method of procedure to follow
in the creation of the Blue Mountain
Forest Reserve. Hermann will be
asked to recount the conversation and
give his version of the various alleged
acts which were brought out in testi
mony in an endeavor to show that while
he had knowledge that school lands
vere being fraudulently "purchased In
Oregon for the purpose of later de
frauding the Government, he allowed
the Blue Mountain Reserve to be creat
ed. At the time Hermann recommend
ed the withdrawal, it was testified, he
not only had knowledge of the contents
of the letters from "Citizens" Zabrieskie
and Snyder, but had adopted a policy of
not recommending the withdrawal of
forest reserves as requested by the For
estry Department.
Telegram a Feature.
Attorney Heney also questioned wit
nesses on the theory that Hermann had
nbt fully advised Secretary Hitchcock
of his knowledge of the operations of
the land manipulators, and had failed
to forward protests which had been
sent from Oregon concerning the Blue
Mountain Reserve. Hermann will also
be asked to explain his alleged tele
gram to F. P. Mays, dispatched when
the Secretary approved the withdrawal.
Attorney Heney contends the telegram
was a confirmation of the testimony
that Mays boasted of an arrangement
having been made by which Mays
would receive knowledge of the action
of the Secretary in time to allow the
purchase of the school lands before the
information became public.
Information as to the number of
witnesses to appear for Hermann, or
their identity, is unobtainable. Attor
neys Worthington and Gearin declined
to give out any information on the sub
ject. Neither would the attorneys
chance a prediction as to when the case
will reach the jury. In all probability
Hermann will occupy the witness stand
for at least three days in direct and
cross-examination.
Hermann Enjoys Sunday.
Hermann passed a quiet Sunday at
the Imperial, Joining Governor Benson
and Frank E. Alley, of Roseburg, in an
automobile ride in the afternoon, visit
ing Portland Heights and the City
Park.
Attorney Worthington was kept from
the golf links by the rain, while At
torney Gearin put in the day between
the Arlington Club and Hotel Port
land. Attorneys Heney and Becker passed
the day in their office in the Federal
building. In other cases presented in
Portland Attorney Heney has always
reserved a large portion of his case to
be used In rebuttal, and It Is probable
he is preparing for that line of pro
cedure in anticipation of the evidence
which the defense may offer.
The jurymen left their quarters on
Alder street for a walk about the West
Side and, under the guidance of Bailiff
Hamilton, they attended church morn
ing and evening.
FLEISCHNER QUITS POST
President or Concordia Club for Six
years to Resign Tonight.
, After six years' service as president of
the Concordia Club at Sixteenth and Mor
rison streets, Marcus A. Fleischner will
retire. A new president will be elected
at the meeting of the general member
ship at the club building this evening.
There are no candidates for office In
the Concordia Club, the organization fol
lowing a method of its own. A nominat
ing committee presents the names of the
board of directors who name the presi
dent and other officers. A report is then
made to the general meeting of club
members and the selection is ratified.
Usually officers are chosen from the
directorate.
Mr. Fleischner retires at his own re
quest. His tenure of office has been one
of the most successful in the hlscory of
the Concordia Club.
L. Rea. secretary of the organization
for nearly 20 years, will probably be re
quested to retain that position.
