13 TTHE MORNING OKEGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1910. PDLITIGAL POT HAS STARTED TO BOIL Many Republicans Already Avowed Candidates for Various Offices. COUNTY CONTESTS MANY Present Officeholders Promised Plenty of Opposition in Competi tion for dominations by Assem blies of County and State. Although the time for holding county and state Republican assemblies is two months away, there Is marked activity among aspirants for office, especially for county offices. With hardly an exception these candidates intend hUving their names presented to the assembly for its indorsement. Moat of them say they will not seek the nomination for the office in question further than the assem bly. This may be said to be generally true of seekers of state office nomina tions. The county mass primaries will be held July 9, which occurs on Saturday. The county assembly will be held one week from that date, July 19. The state as sembly will be held the following Thurs day, July 21. These will be largely repre sentative, the Multnomah County assem bly consisting of 354 delegates and the state assembly of 1248. The direct prim ary of each party will be held at the same time, September 24. The election will take place November 8. Many State Terms to Expire. State offices in which the terms of in cumbents expire are: Governor, Secre tary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public In struction, State Printer, four Justices of the State Supreme Court, Labor Commis sioner, State Engineer, one Railroad Commissioner, two Representatives in Congress, three Circuit Court Judges of the Fourth Judicial District, com prising this county; two State Sena tors and 13 Representatives in the State Legislature. The county offices are: County Judge, one County Commissioner, Sheriff, County Clerk, Auditor, Treas urer, Coroner, Surveyor, two Justices of the Peace and one Constable. For county offices numerous candidates already, have sprung up. For state of fices, such as Justice of the Supreme Court, Attorney-General, Representatives and State Senator, few local nannrs are being mentioned. Gubernatorial Race to Be Keen. In the gubernatorial race, more names are being mentioned than for any other state office. In Portland there are two who are said to be in a receptive mood. Xvr. Andrew C. Smith and State Food and Dairy Commissioner J. W. Bailey of Port land; Judge Grant B. Dimick of Oregon City; Jay Bowerman of Condon, presi dent of the last State Senate; Judge Ste phen A. Lowell of Pendleton; State Su perintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman of Salem, and James Withy combe of Corvallis, who received the Re publican nomination four years ago, are among those being mentioned. For Secretary of State, thus far, only two definite announcements have been made. They have been by State Senator John B. Coffey and Governor Benson. Governor Benson's announcement is not formal, though it is understood he would rather take chances on securing that nomination than the gubernatorial hon ors. Robinson Will Run. For the Republican nomination for State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion there are many seekers. R. F. Rob inson, who has been Superintendent of Schools for Multnomah County during the last 10 years and whose term does not expire until 1913, is among those promi nently mentioned. Mr. Robinson yester day practically confirmed the rumor that he will be in the race. "I am thinking it over very seriously," he said. "There are several features to consider. I have received letters from leading educators all over the state urging me to make the race and I suppose I will." Others who are said to be aspirants for the office are: Professor L. R. Alderman of Eugene, Professor E. D. Ressler of Corvallis and Superintendent J. A. Churchill of Baker City. , For State Treasurer, no names have as yet been mentioned, at least within hearing of local political "dopsters." George A. Steel, the present incum bent, it is said, will not be a candidate to succeed himself. Lineup Shows Change. Since the resignation of Judge Bronaugh as Circuit Judge and the appointment as his successor of John P. Kavanaugh, City Attorney of Port land, a change has been made in the lineup for Attorney-General. Frank S. Grant, who had been mentioned in that connection, now Chief Deputy City At torney, probably will succeed Kavan augh and will not make the race for Attorney-General. A. M. Crawford, of 6alem. who now occupies that office, probably will be a -.candidate to suc ceed himself, it is said. For State Printer, Willis S. Duniway, the present incumbent, and W. J. Clarke, of Gervals. who was an aspir ant for the nomination four years ago, will be candidates, it is understood. Others are also said to have aspirations for this office, though none has yet made positive announcement of it. No names of candidates for the of fice of State Labor Commissioner, other than O. P. Hoff. the present holder, and that of the one State Railroad Cora missionership expiring next year, now held by Oswald West, have been heard Kenerally here. This is also true of the two State Senators who will be elected this year. Out of the seven Senators, five hold over. The two whose terms expire are S. C. Beach and A. A. Bailey. It is not known whether either will or will not be candidates. Of the thirteen Representatives to be elected, few names have been men tiond. Logan Seeks Toga. For Congress to succeed Repre sentative W. R. Ellis. John F. Logan says he will be a candidate. A. W. Lafferty and George S. Shepherd have been mentioned, though it is said the latter will not make the race for the nomination if Logan is a candidate. For the four nominations for Su preme Court Justices, few names have been heard. Judge Gantenbeln of the Circuit Court is the only candidate here. Possible candidacies are the present Justices, Frank A. Moore, Will R. King, W. T. Slater and Thomas A. McBrlde. The only one holding over is Justice Robert Eakin. sThere are three judgeships of the Cir cuit Court which will expire this year. They are occupied by Judges Bronaugh, Gatens and Cleland. Judge Bronaugh has resigned and the vacancy has been filled by City Attorney Kavanaugh. Mr. Kavanaugh will be a candidate to succeed himself as well as will the other two, it is said. Judge Gatens was appointed to fill out an unexpired term by Senator Chamberlain when he was Governor and is a Democrat. He will seek the Democratic nomina tion. Barnes Drops Out, County Commissioner Barnes, whose term expires next year, will not be a ra reIMn . I ' I Tl W names of W. J. Miller, of Linnton. and Dan V. Hart, of University Park, have been mentioned as his possible suc cessors. County Auditor Brandes, also, will not make the race again. His chief deputy. Hazel T. Page, and Sam Martin, chief deputy of the tax collection- department of the Sheriff's of fice, are candidates for the ofice. Sheriff Stevens. County Clerk Fields. County Surveyor Holbrook, County Judge Cleeton, and County Treasurer Lewis, ail, it is said, will be candidates . to succeed . themselves. Sheriff Stevens probably will have op position for the -nomination in George W. McMillan and Nathan Bird, the lat ter a deputy in his office. Martin Pratt, at present a deputy county as sessor, may be a candidate for County Clerk. County Judge Cleeton may be opposed by John Shillock and John Middleton. No opposition has thus far developed to Surveyor Holbrook and Treasurer Lewis. Justices of the Peace Olson and Bell will have plenty of .opposition, it is rumored, though no names may be positively stated, aside from those of James E. Cxalb, a young attorney, and J. H. Jones, who was recently admitted to practice. For Constable, Lou Wag ner, who has held the office eight years, will have the opposition of no less than half a dozen. Among these are Slg. Werthelmer, Andy Weinberger, Patrick Maher, F. A. Frischkorn and Jack Day. COURTS ASK FOR HELP ADDITIONAL JUDGES SOUGHT FOR MULTNOMAH DISTRICT. Unless They Are Assigned, Judge Morrow Says There Is No Chance of Catching Up With Work. Application will be made to the Su preme Court to assign two additional circuit judges to the Multnomah district, to give as much time to cases here as their own business will permit, from now until the end of the term. Presiding Judge R. G. Morrow said last night that he is preparing and will dispatch presently a letter to the Supreme Court, setting forth the crowded condi tion of the local courts and the amount of business that remains undisposed of and asking for two judges to relieve the situation. This action is taken under a law of the session of 1909, authorizing the Supreme Court to transfer judges under such circumstances. It is the contention of the presiding judge that Multnomah County is inade quately supplied with Judges, the number not having been changed for years until recently, and then insufficiently. It is said that King County, Washington, which Includes the City of Seattle, has ten judges. Circuit Court is now 16 or more cases behind its calendar; that is, there are that many cases that have been set and have not been reached on the day set. The situation of late has been greatly complicated by the cramped quarters al lowed the judges during the construction of the new Courthouse, and Judge Mor row says that it will be impossible to catch up unless additional help is granted. While it is probable that the request of the presiding judge will be granted by the Supreme Court upon receipt of his letter, no statements are being made in anticipation of the event,, and it cannot be said what judges will likely be as signed to sit here. WIFE SHOOTS INTO FLOOR Demonstration Meant to Frighten Husband. Enraged at Dog. Shooting a revolver in her house as a means of frightening her husband proved a costly experience to Mrs. Charles Thornton, of 167 Park street, for Munici pal Judge Bennett fined her $25 Wednes day for disorderly conduct. Her husband also was fined J25 for contributing to the "general disorder." A large crowd collected in front nt th Thornton home Friday, believing a mur- aer was Deing committed, when several shots were fired inside of the house. Police Officer Ennis was called and to him the Thorntons said that they had had a "family row," in which Thornton hurled flower vases and bean-pots in promiscuous fashion about the room, and his wife grabbed a revolver and shot several times into fhe floor. "I had been out 'buggy-riding and had several drinks," said Thornton on the witness stand.' "When I got home I be came angry at the dog, which was lying on the floor, and threw a bean-pot at it. My wife was in the other room and she fired the pistol to scare me. She didn't shoot at me, however. She. never gets angry enough to do that," Judge Bennett, in imposing . sentence, warned the couple that their domestic troubles must be made less noisy in the future or he "would send them to jail. WOMEN TO BE PUNISHED Jail Sentences Will Follow Fnes, t Police Judge Declares. Women of the underworld who are. taken before the Municipal Court these days get scant mercy from Judge Ben nett. Those who have been before the court on a precious' occasion are sen tenced to jail for at least 30 days, while those who are making their in itial bow in the dock are fined $25. May Bain, a pretty girl 20 years old. entered a plea of guilty to a charge of vagrancy before Judge Bennett yes terday morning and will have, as a consequence, 30 days in Jail to consider her evil ways.. She had been released only a short time before after spending a month in jail. Myrtle Porter. Helen Wheeler and Mrs. Hazel Jesse were fined $25 each, and warned by Judge Bennett that if they were brought be fore him again they would be treated more harshly. All the women were arrested In pseudo lodging-houses. MISS STANLEY GOES EAST Member of Opera Company Gets . Word Her Mother Is Dying. Miss Josephine Stanley, member of the National Opera Company at the Portland Theater, who has been cast for several of the smaller parts since the company came to Portland, received a telegram late last night that her mother was dying in Chi cago. The company hastily raised a liberal purse for Miss Stanley's benefit and she left within a- short time of the receipt of the telegram on the midnight train for her Chicago home.

CRONAN'S CASE CITED To Stop Car, Resident Throws Plank on Track, Whereupon His Arrest Is Sought Xear Midnight Week Later More Cars Ordered. "If I were District Attorney of this county I would have the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company pay. ing fines so fast it would have no time to send money back to its stock holders In Philadelphia, as it does now," declared Dan J. Malarkey to the Council committee on streetcar com plaints yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ma larkey was attacking the company for its "abominable service on Portland Heights." He was speaking of the fact that no fenders, such as the state law requires, are used in this city. "Another thing," said Mr. Malarkey, "it is a crying shame and disgrace that a business man of high standing, like John Cronan, should be pulled out of his bed at midnight Saturday by or der of the streetcar officials to be thrown into the City Jail in an effort to make him remain in a dirty cell over night without bail because he had the nerve to assert his rights in stop ping a car to put his sister on board. "He had to throw a plank on the track to do it. and he has been painted as a criminal, as one who would have wrecked a car and killed a lot of peo ple. He is nothing of the sort; he is as good a man as lives in Portland and not a man of us living on Port land Heights but would do anyfning to help him. It was more than a week after he did this very justifiable thing that the company sent its special offi cer to his home at 11 o'clock at night with a warrant. They thought they would land him In Jail over night, but they got fooled, for Municipal Judge Bennett refused to allow him to be taken from home." Heights Residents Protest. ' Mr. Malarkey,' Adolph A. Dekum and other prominent business and profes sional men living on Portland Heights were present at the committee meet ing yesterday afternoon to protest against the alleged poor car service on their line. The committee, com posed of Councilmen Lombard, Rush light and Ellis, made an order as a result that there be a 14-minute serv ice on week days and a 10-minute service on Sunday afternoons to Pat ton road. Not only did Mr. Malarkey denounce the company, but Mr. Dekum as well said some severe things. "I want to relate one experience," said Mr. Dekum. ' "It will serve to show you what we are up against on Portland Heights. I had to go down town one Sunday for some medicine. Returning, I had to allow several cars to go by because they would not stop for me, they were so crowded. Fi nally I jumped onto the front step and the motorman said 1 would have to get off. I refused to do so and he said he would put me off. I defied him and he did not do it, but what kind of service is this, anyway, for people - who want to ride on street cars? It is outrageous." Mr. Malarkey detailed the incident when Mr. Cronan threw a plank on the track to stop a Heights car a week ago. He said Mr. Cronan's sis ter had been visiting at his home on Ravensview Drive and wanted to go to the Union Depot. She went to tae track and six cars passed her, the mo torman refusing to stop because the cars were filled. ' She returned to the house and told her troubles to Mr. Cronan, who said he would'stop a car for her. Three cars passed by. Then he stood in the - middle of the track, thinking the motorman would" stop rather than run him down, but not so; he was nearly run iover. ! Plank Stops Car. Then he seized a plank and hurled it on the track, where it is up-grade and there could be no. danger of a wreck. The motorman stopped the car and Mr. Cronan's sister boarded it. A week later at 11 P. M. he was called out of bed to be arrested by Special Officer Lillis. of the streetcar com pany, said Mr. Malarkey. He called Mr. Malarkey, who lives opposite him. and Mr. Malarkey telephoned to Judge Bennett the. circumstances. Judge Bennett instructed that he be released on 'his own recognizance. "There is another thing I want to call your attention to," said Mr. Ma larkey, "and that is the Council Crest dancing pavilion. It houses a very rough crowd and the decent people who patronize the streetcars, both to Portland Heights and the Crest, have to listen to the foulest language and witness the most disgusting acts right along when they have dancing at the Crest Park. I tell' you right now that, sooner or later, you will have to face the question of a nuisance in this re gard and you may as well prepare for It." Council Crest Park is the only pub lic dancehall of it's kind in Portland now, the others having been closed be cause of the complaints from all sources. The police committee of the executive board recently granted to A. Duchamp, proprietor of the place, au thority of a special officer for his es tablishment only. MATHERS ELECT MRS. TATE Oregon Congress Indorses Rules on Corporal Punishment. - A. full and representative meeting of th Oregon Congress of Mothers was held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall. There were full reports fjrom all circles, from several important committees and an election of officers. The committee on resolutions regarding corporal punish ment in the public schols reported that the printed rules of the public schools of Portland were all that could be desired on the subject. Mothers who had griev ances were recommended to go to the principals of the schools for Investigation and remedy.

NEW COURT RECORD MADE Prisoner Is Arraigned, Jury Select ed, Witnesses Heard. Verdict Re turned and Punishment Meted Out in Double Quick Time. Consuming two hours from the arraign ment of the prisoner to the passing of sentencethe trial yesterday of Norman Henderson on a charge of passing a bad check probably Bet a new record for Jury trials in the local Circuit Courts. Twelve jurors were selected after three men had been examined and excused, the opening statements were made, the evi dence presented, argument submitted, the Jury charged, the verdict found and re turned and sentence passed, all between the hours of 10 A. M. and noon. Court officials say that a Jury trial never was accomplished in so brief a period in this county. Henderson was indicted for forging the name of the firm of Tull & Glbbs. Ha was tried on only one charge, that of passing one of the checks, for $8.50, upon R. Glover, proprietor of a rooming-house at Second and Burnside streets. The check operator was smooth and well dressed and completely deceived his vic tim. Later, the fraud was discovered and he was arrested. When Attorney Wllklns placed the ac cused man on the stand in his own de fense, it developed that he was an old offender at the game, having been con victed for similar offenses in several states. He had served terms of im prisonment at Westminster, B. C, and at San Quentin, California. A plea of leniency was made by the at torney for the defense, but Judge Cle land said that he could see no reason for clemency in this case and passed a sen tence of five years imprisonment. The jury, when it retired, was gone from the courtroom but a minute when it returned with a verdict of guilty. JUDGE ISLEXIENT TO CULPRIT Suspended Sentence Gives ex-Hus band Chance to Make Good.

Tester day he was brought Into court to answer- to the non-support charge. His attorney told the court that the es tranged couple had come to an under standing and wished to end court pro ceedings and be remarried. This state ment was supported by the wife, and the oldest son also made a plea for his father, saying that he thought the man ought to be given a chance to right himself. Locke was profuse in his promises, declared that he would never drink another drop of intoxicants and would profit by the mistakes of the past.

In passing upon the case, Judge Bennett severely criticised the action of ' the dog's owner in per mitting the animal to have its freedom. "Many complaints have come to me re garding this dog," said Judge Bennett, "and it seems that matters had gone so far that women were afraid to pass the bouse in front of which the animal stayed. The defendant cannot offer the excuse that he did not know the dog was vicious, as it had attacked other people previous to this case. I haven't a very high opinion of the man who will endanger the lives of women and children in so careless a manner." With the lower part of his face swathed in bandages, Walter F. Peterson, 6 years old. was in the courtroom- as prima facie evidence of the ugly disposition of Frank's bull-dog. While playing in the street, little Walter was suddenly at tacked by the animal, which sunk its teeth into his chin. Frank promised the court to dispose of the dog. YOUNG WOMAN' SUES "CHARLES Man, Who ."Lost" Money From Bank, Defendant In $1300 Case. Suit to recover money lent by Miss Jeane Ellsner to R R. Charles, filed in Circuit Court yesterday, revived a tale of financial manipulation which had its beginning in Honolulu two years ago. Charles and Miss Ellsner then lived in that city and became acquainted through interest In Oriental philosophy. Charles, it is alleged, used that relation to borrow $1000 from Miss Ellsner. He then worked on her fears of a Japanese uprising to get her to leave the islands, and she says she gave him another $1000 to pay her agent the previous loan, fear ing that unless her agent thought the debt was paid he would not allow Charles to leave the islands. Later, she alleges, Mrs. Charles tore up the note for $1000 and left her without any evidence of debt. She advanced him $300 at another time and now sues for $1300.

II TALKS on TEETH By the HEX DENTAL CO, DENTISTS, Alveolar Dentistry It's the Only Method of teeth restoration when you know what it really is. Anything cheap com mends itself to some people. There are others who realize that the very best is the cheapest. If you have lost some or many of your teeth it will certainlv be worth your while to investigate the Alveolar method, it costs nothing to have an examination to sen samples of the work, and to inquire of tho.se who have had the Alveolar work done for them. It's the acme of perfection, beautiful, comfortable, life-like and everlasting. j Alveolar Teeth Where IBrldKeirorlc la lnipOMMlble. If only your front teeth are left, sav three or four or more, we can replace all those that have been lost on hotli sides, clear back with perfect Alveolar teeth, whilst bridgework would be im possible even if you had eight or ten front teeth to tie to. If you have only two back teeth on each side, say molars, we can supply all the front teeth that are missing with beautiful, serviceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. This could not possibly be done by The bridge route. And where bridgework is possible there is no comparison between the two. A very large percentage of our work is taking out bridgework put in by sup- Fosedly high-class dentists, and replac ng it with the beautiful and artistic Alveolar teeth. And. unlike' bridgework In another respect, it is practically painless. No boring or cutting Into the gums, nothing to be dreaded. Now, then, prices being equal, which would you choose? Cuing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis ease given up by other dentists as in curable, is another of our specialties We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful statement to make, but we can do any thing that Is possible in dentistry, and what we do is always of the very high est class. Our booklets. Alveolar Den tistry, are free.
