ALBANY. X. T.. Sept. II. A clear ma

Vlce-PreslJent Sherman as temporary
chairman of the New York State Repub
lican convention over Colonel Roosevelt
was claimed last night by William
Barnes. Jr.. as a result of the up-state
primaries yesterday.
Mr. Barnes, who has been leading the
flglit of th "old guard." declared that
the real contest at Saratoga will be In
the resolutions rorrmittee. The com
mittee will consider the nomination.
Mr. Barnes gave out this statement:
"Mr. Roooevelt waa defeated In the
state committee by a vote of 10 to 15 and
then Mr. Sherman was unanimously
chosen as temporary prevailing officer by
the state committee. To question that
determination on the floor of the con
vention is equivalent to bolting a nomina
tion.
" This is known as 'political welching.
and. had Mr. Roosevelt defeated Mr.
Sherman in the state committee, that
would have been the end of that con
troversy. Mr Roosevelt has not acted
as Mr. Sherman would have done In
queMionlng the unanimous action of the
committee. They are equal before the
party. Mr. Roosevelt has no superior
rights as a man to any other man."

ST. PAUL, Sept. 21. Although the
returns are Incomplete It was reason
ably certain at an early hour this
morning that Representative James A.
Tawney. of the First District, a
'standpatter, had been defeated for
the Republican nomination to Congress
by Sidney Anderson, a young attorney
of Lanesboro. '
While his managers had not given
up the. fight, they characterized the out
look as "rotten." Tawney, . who has
been a member of Congress continu
ously since 1892, apparently Is beaten
by 2000 votes. .
Nye Is Nominated.
Frank A. Nye. of Minneapolis, was
nominated In the Fifth District by a
large majority, as was Clarence B.
Miller, of Duluth. Representatives
Volsted. Steenerson. Davis and Llnd
berg. all Insurgents, were renominated
by large majorities.
In the Fourth District, the result be
tween Fred C. Stevens and Hugh Hal
bert had not been decided at an early
hour this morning, but Stevens was
running ahead and the Indications were
that he would be the winner.
Hammond le Renominated.
Representative Hammond, Demo
cratic is renominated In the Second
District and his Republican opponent
will be A. L. Ward.'
Tawney had a hard fight. Theodora
Roosevelt. GlfTord Plnchot, Francis J.
Heney and other exponents of ."progres
sive" Republicanism, have taken e. hand
In the contest against him. Andersonjs
supporters have made attacks on Taw-
ney's record as a legislator and have ap
pealed for support to Roosevelt ideas.
Tawney had made only one public ad
dress In reply to the attacks of Plnchot.
but he baa made a vigorous campaign.
He has contended that the attacks made
upon him from wltflout his district were
Inspired by his refusal to vote for sp
propriatlons asked for by certain Inter
ems. He has served In every Congress
since the SSd.
Ing out a lot of Infamous falsehoods and
not giving him a chance to answer them.
"Judge Cleland has been called a
tool of the corporations. No man has
said his record shows he has favored
the corporate Interests. They only say.
'Ha is a corporation Judge,' and let it
go at that. The records show, on the
contrary,, that he has decided more
cases against the corporations than in
favor of them. These same records
show that the slanderers lie In these
Infamous charges. Then again. It Is
charged that when Judge Cleland does
rule unfavorably toward corporations
his rulings are reversed in the Supreme
Court. It has been said that three
fourths of his anti-corporation de
clslons are reversed. In the Supreme
Court there have been appealed 133
of Judge Cleland's decisions. Of these
77 or 60 per cent have been affirmed.
Of 16 reversals In corporation cases
seven were secured by Individuals and
nine by corporations. Tbe records
show that in five years Judge Cleland
has allowed 11 non-suits" In corpora
tion cases, yet his traducers call him
a non-suit Judge.
"It has been the policy of his oppo
nents to throw a lot of mud disguised
with honeyed and fair-sounding words.
These same traducers know that Judge
Cleland Is an able lawyer, a fair and
Just man and an honest one. They
dare not say so nor dare they refer
the voters to the records of Mult
nomah County.
"I must refuse to heap personal
abuse upon Judge Cleland's opponents.
Judge Cleland will not stoop to such
thing, even though it be directed
against men who deliberately traduce
him."
George W. Stapleton, candidate for
nomination for Representative in the
Legislature, on the assembly indorse
ment, also spoke of Judge Cleland's ad
mirable record and said that 80 per
cent of the lawyers of Portland fa
vored his election, knowing him to be
an able attorney, a fair and Just Judge
nd a fearless man. He paid his com
pliments to the "insurgent" movement.
which he likened to the free silver
movement which swept over the coun
try more than a decade ago.

REPUBLICANS ASK
FOR PROHIBITION
Constitutional Amendment Is
Urged by Platform Convent
tion in Idaho.
SHALL WE HAVE A
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
Democrats and others who aid and
comfort them seem to be worrying be
cause the Republican state and county
committees are supporting the candi
dates indorsed by the state and county
assemblies, and withholding support
from the self-nomtnated opposition
candidates. This objection comes most
loudly from the Democratic press,
which has been shamelessly interfer
ing in Republican affairs. The con
tention seems to be that a Democratic
newspaper which supported Bryan and
Chamberlain may with propriety inter
fere in a Republican primary, but If
the Republican state committee does so
it Is all wrong. There never has been
anything- politically more disgraceful
than the attempt made by the Demo
crats In this campaign to control the
Republican nominations for office.
Thousands of Democrats have reg
istered' as Republicans for this pur
pose, in the hope of accomplishing the
confusion of the Republican party.
Their efforts have been actively assist
ed by the Democratic press and notably
by the Portland Journal, the Albany
Democrat, the Eugene Guard, the
Baker City Democrat and the Pendle

these papers have persistently ham-

CLELAND IS DEFENDED
Speaker's Quote Records to Show
That Traducers Are Wrong.
Judge John B. Cleland was vigorously
defended by speakers at a political meet
ing held Tuesday night at Gevurts' Hall
Front and Gibbs streets. The accusations
which have been made by his opponents
were branded aa slanders and they were
met. not by counter accusations, but by
an outline of Judge Cleland's record on
the bench and his life in Portland.
The principal speaker was Lester W.
Humphreys, who confined himself to the
subject of Judge Cleland's candidacy for
election as Circuit Judge. Other speak
ers not only ' defended the' character of
Judge Cleland. but defended the assembly
movement and what It stands for In
Oregon.
A review of Judge Cleland's public rec
ord was given by Mr. Humphreys. The
charges that he was a tool of the corpor
ations were met with the records at the
Courthouse. In answer to the charge
that Judge Cleland has been a corpora
tion Judge, Mr. Humphreys pointed to
the records which he cited. In the same
way ha answered the charge that Judge
Cleland', antl-corporatlon rulings had
been reversed in the main by showing
figures to the contrary and again the
charge that he bad followed a policy of
non-sultlng the laboring men in corpora
tion cases was refuted by a review of
the records which show that in five
years Judge Cleland has granted only 11
non-suits In corporation cases.
"The entire fight seems to have cen
tered against Judge Cleland." said Mr.
Humphreys. "Judge Cleland ia known
In Portland as an honest man whose rec
ord as a fearless Judge stands for Itself.
He ia known to attorneys and to cltlaens
everywhere as tha best Judge on the
bench In Portland. Now, we have la Ore
gon a corrupt practices act, which gives
any one the right to call the attention
of every voter to an unworthy candidate
if the charges against him be made m
writing. Have Judge Cleland'a traducers
dared do this? No. Instead they spread
their calumny by word of mvulb. spew-

Mock as He Drives Knife to Jess
Smith's Heart at Medford.
MEDFORD, Or., Sept. 21. (Special.:
Jess Smith, a tearneter, waa stabbed to
death here Tuesday morning by O. Mock
In a quarrel over a dog. Mock Is still
at large, but is reported to be surround
ed in an oak grove by the local police
and posse under Sheriff Jones, Just out
side the city limits.
Smith had Jokingly refused Mock's
wife the possession of the dog earlier in
the evening, which the woman reported
to her husband as a serious attempt to
kidnap- the pet. Mock, entering the
house where Smith and two compan
Ions. D. Martin and John McMullen
were sitting at a table preparatory to
a game of cards, was Introduced by
Smith to McMullen, the owner of the
house. After shaking hands with Mc
Mullen, Mock turned towards Smith and
angrily accused him of keeping his dog.
In a second the two men were fight
ing. Mock clinched his victim around
the neck and then atabbed him twice In
the breast, asking, "How do you like
that. Smith let out no sound, but fell
In a heap In the corner, dying about
four minutes later. Mock made his es
cape through the door before the two
eye-witnesses realized what had hap
pened.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21. (Special.) Di
rectors of the Hamilton Ciub tonight
voted to accept the resignation tend

Roosevelt episode. The action was
taken after a stormy debate lasting
more than three hours.
Several members of the directorate
favored requesting Senator Lorlmer to
reconsider his resignation, but the ma

club in the position of repudiating Colo

Senator a medal of honor.
The directors agreed not to make
public the vote on the resignation.
"I can only say that we accepted
Senator Lorlmer's resignation," said
President John H. Batten.
"Waa the vote unanimous," he was
asked.

REPIIBLICAX DUTY CLEAR,
Until the Republican electors speak
at the ensuing primaries, the duty of
the present state and county commit
tees is clear. They can do nothing1
else than perform their party duty in
carrying out the primary law and the
rulesof the Republican party adopted
pursuant thereto. They cannot disre
gard the action of assemblies regularly
called, emanating from the people and
presumably expressing the present will
of the Republican party of Oregon with
reference to principles and candidates.

ot the Republican party to carry out
recommendations lawfully made. This
committee cannot be browbeaten or
otherwise swerved from the perform

When the new committee is chosen the

ORGANIZATION OR DISRUPTION.
If the Republicans of Oregon do not
wish their chairman and secretary to
uphold the present rales and regula
tions of the party, if they do not wish
regular party action to be supported
and carried out, they can at the ensu
ing primaries choose those who believe
in disorganiration, in mongrel political
alliance and in Democratic success.
Let the people rule.
Two tickets are before the primaries
backed by two organizations, "assem
bly " and " anti - assembly." Curious
ly the " antl - assembly " organization
proves to be much the older. The flag
pamphlet, edited by U'Ren and financed
by Fells, Lincoln Steffens and others,
furnishes the final link of proof that
the latter was a capitalized organiza
tion before the assembly was called
into existence. The open movement of
the assembly caused this secret U'Ren-Bourne-Fells-Demo
combination to be
come public under the title of "anti-assembly."
An issue is on between Republican
party upbullders and disrupters.
The unholy alliance with Democracy
ia one of the perversions of our direct
primary law.
A New York Democrat congratulated
Oregon Democracy in having a system
to compel Republicans to vote for
Democrats.
