THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910. HAWLEY HID ELLIS ARE INDORSED Members of Congress Unani mously Recommended by Their Districts. JOINT NOMINATIONS MADE ttose Contest In Second Judicial District Results in Choice of Percy R. Kelly and I. II. Van Winkle as Judges. Opposition to the approval of the candidacy of the two Republican Rep resentatives In Congress from Oregon dwindled as the time approached for assembly delegates to declare their preferences. Representative Hawley was Indorsed In the First District with out opposition, and like action awaited the suggestion of the name of Repre sentative EJlls in the Second District. Am the delegates began to arrive in the city on Wednesday the friends of C. A. Sehlbrede, of Coos County, and B. F. Mulkey, of Jackson, announced those men as candidates against Rep resentative Hawley. and the enthusi asts from MarBhfleld believed for a time that their favorite. Mr. Sehlbrede, would be in the running. The Coos delegation came to the convention at great expense to themselves and as the first county In the state to hold an as sembly of Republicans placed their hope of reward on the success of the popular attorney. During the night and early yesterday morning the Hawley men be gan to come In, and at an early hour in the day both of the candidates an nounced their retirement. Both Representatives Are Indorsed. While awaiting a report from com mittees in the state assembly the dele gates from the various counties sepa rated and occupied different sides of the hall, the counties represented in the First District going to the east side, and those from the Second District on the west. Judge w. M. Colvlg, of Josephine County, of the Republican Congress ional .committee, called the meeting of the First District to order and the nomination was given to W. C. Haw ley by acclamation. His name was presented from a half a dozen counties at the same instant. M. I Jones, of Marion, was the first to mention Mr. Hawley's name. In the Second District assembly S. B. Huston, of Multnomah. was elected chairman, and Rev. C. E. Cline secured the floor to pay a tribute to his friend. Representative Ellis. The nomination was seconded from various quarters of the assembly. An endeavor had been made by friends of J. S. Dellinger. an Astoria newspaper man, to develop sentiment In his favor as a candidate against Mr. Kills, and his name was presented by Addison Bennett. It appeared, how ever, that Mr. Delllnger's friends were far outnumbered by those of the pres ent Representative, and almost as soon as Mr. Bennett resumed his seat, the Clatsop County man withdrew in favor of lSllis and the man from Pendleton was indorsed by acclamation. Representatives Ellis and Hawley de livered short addresses, pledging them selves to support the entire ticket as suggested by the assembly and con gratulating the Republicans of Oregon on getting together again for unity and harmonious action. They expressed the belief that the efficiency of their labors in behalf of Oregon would be en hanced through the knowledge that the party had been united in their state. Judges Are Named. Delegates representing the counties of the various judicial. Senatorial and Representative districts were asked to assemble for making selections of suit able candidates for the various offices to be filled at the forthcoming primary and election. In the First Judicial District Jose phine and Jackson counties united for the nomination of Judge Calkins, of Ashland, the present Incumbent, who was appointed by Governor Benson. In the Second Judicial District, Judge J. S. Coke, of Coos County, is' a can didate but has filed his nomination by petition. He would have received the Indorsement had he asked for it. He is said to be friendly to the assembly. Delegations composing the Second Judicial District, made up of the counties of Yamhill, Polk. Marlon. linn and Tillamook, engaged in one of the hottest contests of the assembly in naming two candidates for Judges for the primaries. Percy R. KeHy. of Albany.jind I. H. Van Winkle, of i.lnn. roceived the indorsement. They barely defeated James McCain, of Mc Minnville, P. H. D'Arcy and N. H. New port. H. A. l.ittlefleld. of Newberg, was chairman of the caucus. The total number of votes cast was 363. Kleld I.ert to Bradshaw. In the Seventh District no recom mendation was uade. and it is prac tically conceded that Judge W. L. Brad Shaw, the Democratic Incumbent, will be elected without opposition. Judge Bradshaw has occupied the bench in that section 18 years, and no Republi can was to be found who desired to undertake the task of defeating him. In the Eleventh Judicial District Judge R. R. Butler was forced to ac cept .the indorsement apd make, the race. ' The judge has served the people of his district satisfactorily and It is believed that no Democrat will attempt to defeat him. His services were de manded by the delegates and while Judge Butler would have preferred aot to have two candidates from Condon, be could not make his wishes prevail. H. L. Benson will make the race for Judge of the Thirteenth District, ana bis supporters are of the opinion that there is nothing unlucky in the num ber. Everybody up there votes for Benson. Senators Are. Selected. I-lnii and In counties tendered the nomination for Joint Senator to L. E. Bean, a brother" of Judge Robert S. Bean, of the United States Court. C. L. Hawley received a similar honor as the Representative of Benton and Polk counties in the Senate. Mr. Hawley is one of the foremost Oregonians advo cating the Interests of the stockgrow ers. Louis G- Clarke received the Indorse ment for Senator from the counties of Multnomah. Clackamas and Columbia. The action was the result of a caucus of the delegates of the various counties, t which the delegates from Clackamas and Columbia protested against the treatment they had received from the bands of the Multnomah county assem bly, which, they said, tied the hands of the .delegates from Portland by in structing them for Mr. Clarke. The outside counties asserted that they had rot had a hearing. After registering their protest they were willing to pledge their cordial support to the tioralnit'oa and election of Mr. Clarke. O. W. Eastham, of Clackamas, was a candidate for the recommendation. Morrow, Umatilla and Union counties centered on 3. K.Wilson, of Athena, as their Joint candidate for Senator, all other candidates retiring from the field. Curry County Man Named. For Joint Representative from Coos and Curry counties Herbert Hume, of Curry County, was recommended, al though there were no Curry County delegates' in the assembly. The place was conceded to that county because the present Senator is from Coos County. James Buchanan was selected as Joint Representative from the counties of Jackson and Douglas, while Henry Nice was indorsed for the counties of Polk and Lincoln. Tillamook and Yam hill counties agreed on the name of A. G. Beals for their candidate for Representative, while John R. Latour ette was-not opposed as the Joint Rep resentative from Clackamas and Mult nomah counties. Grant. Crook. Klamath and Lake counties recommended W. Lair Thomp son, of Lake, and H. P. Belknap, of Crook, for election as Representatives. T. J. Mahoney had a walk-over in securing the Indorsements of the dele gates from Morrow and Umatilla coun ties for the Legislature, while Harney and Malheur counties cheerfully nomi nated W. H. Brooke as Representative. C. A. Buckley, of Grass "Valley, was the successful candidate for Represen tative at the caucus of the Sherman, Wheeler and Glllam delegations. Hood River and Wasco each secured a candidate for Representative, Alex ander Stewart, of Wasco, being In dorsed and Mr. Tate, of Hood River, as Joint Representatives. J. N. BRISTOL PRESIDES (Continued From First Page.) He went over Mr. Moores long record In public life, and urged his selection would be in the best Interests of the party. Rev. C. E. Cline, of Multnomah, sec onded the nomination of Mr. Moores. George W. Stapleton, of Multnomah, spoke in behalf of Mr. Bowerman. While he was speaking a slip bearing the name of another candidate was handed to him, but he laid it on the table, saying that he did not know anything about it. R. V. Carter, of Lincoln, seconded the nomination of Mr. Ackerman. Tooze Nominates "Withycombe. " Walter L. Tooze nominated James Withycombe. of Corvallis. He spoke of Mr. Withycombe's defeat by Governor Chamberlain at the last state election, as a "damnable political outrage." "What man Is more deserving," he continued, "than the man who has fought a losing fight? Is some man more entitled to the place because, perchance, he came from Eastern or Southern Oregon? The man I shall nominate comes from the State of Oregon. He was for 12 years In. the ex periment station at the Oregon Agri cultural College, of which we are all so proud. I intend to injure no one. to cast reflections on no candidate. God knows they are all brainy men. The question is. Can they get the votes? Some of them cannot. Withycombe will carry a large element of the votes of the anti-assembly, where our younger men cannot carry the strength. The critical moment of this convention has arrived. T. T. Geer sound ed the note of warning when he said that the opposition will center its fight in November against the head of your ticket. In nominating a Governor you are to nominate a man who can go out Into the state and secure the votes, pro vided he is qualified, capable and honor able. James Withycombe is such a man." A. A. Jayne, of Hood River, seconded the nomination of Dr. Smith. Mr. Jayne said that the Hood River delegation came unpledged to the assembly, and after looking over the field had come to the conclusion that the best man to sup port for Governor was Dr. Smith. ' By this time loud calls were being heard for a vote. H. P. Belknap, of Benton, gained recognition, however, and spoke briefly In behalf of Dr. Withycombe. He said that the winning man would have his support and, he hoped, that of every man present. bowerman Wins Victory. It was 5:20 P. M. before the assembly was ready to take up the balloting. Mr. Bristol explained that while proxies would not be recognized in the voting, yet the majority of each delegation was entitled to claim the votes of the missing delegates. At 6:10 P. M. the results of the first ballot were announced, the totals giving Mr. Bowerman a majority of 31 votes. The announcement was received with cheers. After the motion to adjourn had been passed and the delegates were leaving the hall. Dr. Smith stepped into a cleared space on the floor near the exit. Dr. Smith said: "This choice has been made with entire harmony. That should be the keynote of this whole proposition from A to Z. I think it is so with the delegates and 'I assure you it is so with me. I desire to make a motion that the nomination of Mr. Bowerman be made unanimous." Hardly had this announcement been made when Mr. Ackermanv getting upon a chair, said: "Gentlemen, I had a vague notion that I was running here. I have always been a Republican and always expect to be. I hope this nominee will be elected In November. I wish to second the motion to make this nomination unanimous." F. V. BEXSOX NOT OPPOSED Nominations Proceeded With at As sembly's Night Session. Walter L. Tooze arose at the beginning of the night session and said that the making of Acting Governor Bowerman's nomination unanimous at the close of the afternoon session was irregular, be cause voted upon after the session had adjourned. He said that Dr. James Withycombe took pleasure in making the motion to make Mr. Bowerman's nomi nation unanimous.. The motion was seconded. Dr. Withycombe was called for and said that he believed In making Individual preTerence subservient to the success of the party. He expected to stnort the ticket from top to bottom, he declared. Under Republican administration, he said, the orchards, of Oregon. In a few years, will be yielding $50,000,000 a year, end the farms and orchards J500.OOO.O0O. He eulogized various Republican leaders, among them Harvey W. Scott. Moores Pledges Supported. Charles B. Moores, upon taking the platform In response to calls, expressed regret that be was not on the floor in the afternoon to move that Mr. Bower man's nomination be made unanimous. He eald that the assembly had bis heartiest support. The chairman announced that Jay Bowerman was participating in the Hi bernian parade, but would be present later in the evening to tender to the as sembly bis thanks for the nomination. The attention of Chairman Bristol was called to the fact that the motion mak ing the Bowerman nomination unani mous had not been put. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. It was then voted to limit the nomi nating speeches . to two minutes- each and the seconding speakers to two. Frank W. Benson was nominated by George Brown, or Douglas, for Secretary of State. It was then voted that nomi nations be closed. Secretary Gibson was authorized to cast the unanimous ballot of the assembly for Mr. Benson, which was done. John McCue placed in nomination for State Treasurer Ralph W. Hoyt. while J. C Bartlett. of Estacada. placed George A- Steel in nomination. In the seconding speeches Mr. Steel u spoken of aa having conducted the office of State Treasurer in a business-like manner, de manding bonds of banks to insure the safety of state funds. The statement waa further made that because of criti cism by Democrats, support should not be withheld from Mr. Steel any more than from Mr. Benson. The vote stood ST5 for Hoyt. 353 for Steel and four scat tering. The total vote cast was 1132, 662 votes for a candidate being necessary for election. Hoyfs nomination, was made unanimous. Cries of "Hoyt" were heard, but the chairman called for order. Mr. Hoyt not toeing In the building. W. L. Tooze then placed L. R. Alder man, of Eugene. In nomination for State School Superintendent. E. D. Ressler was placed in nomination for the same posi tion by C. H. Belknap. Lane County seconded the Alderman nomination. H. H. Northup placed R. F. Robinson, Superintendent of Schools of Multnomah County, in nomination. Wallace Mc Camant was one of those who seconded Robinson's nomination. Cries of "vote" prevented further speechmaking. The vote," when counted showed 7S6V4 votes for Alderman, 197 for Ressler and 158 for Robinson. The total vote was 1141. The Alderman nomination was made unanimous. Clarke for State Printer. The nominees for State Printer were William J. Clarke, of Gervais, and Willis S. Dunlway. Wallace McCamant was asked by a delegate whether Mr. Dunl way had not refused to go before the as sembly. He replied that Mr. Dunlway doubted the wisdom of the assembly. since he secured his position at the last election through the direct primary and not a convention. "He was a staunch Republican," said Mr. McCamant. Dr. Emmett Drake said that he had talked wlth Mr. Dunlway and was assured that he would be glad to receive the recom mendation of the assembly. The vote was 768 for Clarke and iM8 for Duniway. Mrl McCamant moved the Clarke nomi nation be made unanimous. This was done. At this point Mr. Bowerman was escorted to the platform, being greeted with three hearty cheers. "It is a particular pleasure to speak to the Republicans of Oregon," said Mr. Bowerman. "Think how long it has been, and of the misguided government of Ore gon, since It was last possible to get together in an assembly like this, and prepare resolutions and select candi dates. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your nomination of my self for the highest office in the state, and I shall do all in my power to go to victory at the primaries and the gen eral election in November. If this ticket is elected we shall have a Republicaa Governor, and a Republican govern ment Jn Oregon once more. With the principles of government carried out in the future, under the form you have chosen here today. It will not be long until the Populists, and the popularists and the straddle-bugs will be things of the past, and I ask you to assist me and the other candidates who shall be nominated, and have a real Republican party In the state jf Oregon. "I wish to expres j my thanks to the men who have contended with me for tills nomination for the cordial man ner in which they have treated me. there has been no hard feeling what ever. I think we can now go on to gether, all supporting the ticket, and having a state of which we shall all De proud." The first ballot for the nomination of an Aitorney-General was unsuccess ful, no one of the three candidates re ceiving a majority. The first ballot stood 495 for J. N. Hart, 341 for A. C. Hough and 2.42 for A. S. Hammond. The motion of Wallace MeComant that an adjournment to 10 A. M. today be taken after counting the second ballot for Attorney-General, was met with cries of "no." The vote was to decide the candidate for Attorney-General before ad journing. The second ballot shower 804 votes for J. N. Hart, 447V4 votes for A. C Hough, and 145 for A. S. Hammond. As 1097 votes were cast, 549 were necessary for nomination. 'J. N. Park Chosen. The third ballot was then taken, a dele gate of Multnomah County saying that his "county had not Insisted on casting the votes for its absent delegates, but would do so. The result of this ballot was 1225 votes cast, 62014 for Hart. 567 for Hough, and 37 for Hammond, the vote of Multnomah County deciding the nomination in Hart's favor. Multnomah's vote was: Hart. 293; Hough. 58; Ham mond, 3. Mr. Hough moved that the nomination of Hart be made unanimous. It was so voted. The assembly adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, singing: B-o-w-e-r-m-a-n spells Bowerman. He's the man for the place: And he's certainly in the race; Bowerman, that's Jay SOCIALISTS AND VOTING Former Assert Equal Suffrage Amendment Error Helps Them. PORTTAN'D, Julv 21. (To the Editor.) I note In The Oregonian of today that a blunder in framing the bill for the equal suffrage amendment to be voted upon in November makes provision to extend the right of franchise indiscriminately to all women. I assert with, emphatic declaration that this so-called blunder will (rive the amendment the full activity and entire vote of the Socialist party of this state. On the previovis attempt to pa an equal suffrage amendment, the discrimination contained in the bill which still held non taxpayinfr or working women In sex dis franchisement and political bondage, was the cause of the Socialist party as & whole rejecting It In toto. equal suffrage advo cates may he assured of this addition to their previous vote of the former proposed amendment Anna Maleyr"bf New York, Kational Wom an's Organiser, now In Washington, will he routed through Oregon en route to Califor nia to aslat In the Fall campaign In that state, and will address the citizens of Port land on this important subject and its rela tion to socialism.

ONLY ONE COUNTY ABSENT Sentiment From Every Quarter ol State Is Developed in " Voting. Clouds of . Party Dissent Are Rolled Away. (Continued From Page" S.) when a motion to proceed to ballot car ried. At 6:10 P. M. the result was made known. Little time was consumed by the two Congressional districts in deciding on their recommendations for Represenia ttves in Congress. The first district placed the seal of approval on Its pres ent representative. W. C. Hawley, by unanimous voice. The delegates of the second district took similar action with regard to W. R. Ellis. J. S. Dellinger, of Astoria, was named in the second, but he withdrew in favor of Mr. Ellis. Not until an adjourned session, which began at 8 P. M., was the consideration of other candidates taken up. Less time was consumed in considering these, but the rivalry continued close. By 11:30 P. M.. when the assembly adjourned. Frank W. Benson, of Rose burg, had been declared the choice of the assembly for Secretary of State; Ralph W. Hoyt. of Portland, for State Treasurer; L. R. Alderman, of Eugene, for Superintendent of Public Instruc tion; w. J. Clarke, of Gervais. for State Printer, and J. N. Hart, of Baker City, for Attorney-General. The assembly will reconvene at 10 A. M., today to complete the state ticket. Harmony Is Shown. . Most of the day was devoted to organi zation and the drawing up of platform. Heavy routine duties devolved upon the various committees, and It was found Im possible to economize time, inasmuch as a regular order of business had to be fol lowed. That harmony was to prevail became evident the moment Judge M. C. George, as chairman of the State Central Com mittee, rapped for order and announced selection of a temporary chairman. The name of W. C. Bristol, of Portland, was presented and he was immediately made the choice of the assembly. No other names were mentioned for the place. When the committees, one on organiza tion and -order of business, one on cre dentials and one on resolutions, had been named and set to work .there occurred a long interval that was 'filled In by ad dresses from delegates from many dis tricts. And the dominant sentiment in these addresses was active interest and unwavering loyalty in the Republican cause from this time on.

Use Your Where They Value- There have been several contests held recently in -which the win ners have been awarded prizes in the form of Piano Checks and many have f onnd that when presented at certain piano stores in whose favor they were made ont, that prices had been boosted to cover these prize checks or that the prize checks applied only on certain pianos, which, though having extremely flashy cases, were extremely poor as regards tonal qualities. Even when prize checks were deducted from the sale price of these gaudy pianos, the prices were found altogether too high. In response to our advertisement to accept all piano prize checks, regardless by whom issued or to whom 'payable, many prize . check holders brought their piano checks to us and used them in the pur chase of a dependable piano at our net prices, just as advertised. The same piano that one of these small concerns asked a piano check-holder $625 for, she found she could buy at Eilers Music House for only $423 or exactly" $202 less, and at Eilers she still had the privilege of deducting her piano check from this much lower price. But this sensible buyer, after comparing this piano with several highest-grade makes handled exclusively by Eilers Music House, correctly decided that she could more advantageously buy a better piano hero than this other firm's make. Nine celebrated and well-known piano manufacturers have joined with Eilers Music House to accept any piano check and apply it on the net prices at which their pianos are sold by Eilers Music House. V This concession was readily secured by Eilers Music House, which desired to maintain the confidence of the music-lovers of Oregon. Thus are we enabled to give real face value for all prize piano checks that have been issued by even these conscienceless dealers. Bring your prize checks to Eilers Music Hons?. Here we accept them the same as spot cash on the lowest net prices. Here are the very best and most reliable pianos made. 351, 353, 355 Washington Street, Corner Eighth (Park) Street.

The Pacifc-Telephbne an3 Telegraph Company Evanry Bell Telephone la th Canter of thm System E had the honor to be elected a delegate to the Republican State Assembly. Confined to my house and unable to attend the convention, I take the lib erty of addressing a word to my fellow-delegates. Success of this movement before the people will depend upon the Judgment that directs the nominations'. The mind of every delegate should take in the whole situation with a view of sug gesting a ticket fit to command general support. Not merely the personnel of the ticket but the entire political situ ation as it exists at this time should be considered, with a view to concilia tion and harmonious action. If it be allowable I wish my vote to be cast by the delegation for Dr. Andrew C. Smith for Governor. He is eminently fit and worthy, never has been identified with, any faction; he la judicious and tact ful and has talents that would honor the office and the state. In my Judgment, also, political ad vantages of high value would be ob tained by suggestion of the name of Frank W. Benson for nomination of Secretary of State and that of W. S. Duniway for renomlnation for State Printer. While these men have not been actively Identified with the as sembly movement. It remains that the. assembly itself is Intended to be but a, method of suggesting suitable names, and should exclude none who may be willing to act in good faith with the Republican party. In making these suggestions I be lieve I am acting only within my right as a delegate to the assembly. Positively without personal interest or any interest whatever, except that which belongs, to our common citizen ship. I am exceedingly anxious to see the convention pursue a' course con ducive to harmony and to party suc cess. Very respectfully, H. W. SCOTT. wanted.
