MALARKEY GIVES SUPPORT 'ProjrrrssWe Leader Declares At tack on Ticket Nominated by People to Blow at Direct Primary Uir. Dan J. llalarkor. Republican candi late for Joint State Senator and "pro gressive" leader in the ante-primary cam paign. accepted an Invitation yesterday to apeak at Salem Saturday night when She reunited Republican leaders are to appear on one lpatform. The principal ipeaker will be Jay Bowerman. Republi can candidate for Governor. His stronirrst contestants in the primary campaign. Grant B. Dimick. E. Hofer and Alhert Abraham will likewise peak. ilr. Malarkey. who has just returned from a trip to Pucet Sound and British Columbia, xuid yesterday that it was hia firm intention to stand by and work for the election of Mr. Bowerman as Repub lican nominee for Governor. f Malarkey Loyal to Ticket. I certainly am going; to support Mr. Bowerman.' mid Mr. Malarkey in dis cussing l ho present political situation. "I ard not participate In the late primary rlection. eithvr as a voter or a candidate, with my fingers crossed. or did I re gard it as a game of 'heads I win. tails you lose.' Unless those who participate therein abide by the reoult. a primary election of and within a political parly under the direct primary law serves no good purpose and is a mere waste oX time and effort. "One of the main objections to the old convention plan of nominating cundi 4ars waa that through 'framcups and state's and manipulation of delegates- by unscrupulous and self-vcking political bosses, the candidates named by the con vention were rarely the real choice of Die rank and tile of the party; and that luch methods occasioned, and frequently Justified the opposition to such nominees of many members of the party. Safeguards Are Ample. "To overcome thce objections the direct primary law was enacted. Under It any member of a party can with little trouble become a candidate for. nomina tion, and the candidate who receives the most votes In the big convention held on primary election day in which all the members of the party participate with equal voice and equal Influence under tlie safeguards of the Australian ballot system and the registration law becomes tlie nominee of the party. Under the system no loyal Republican can consist ently oppose one who has been so chosen as the nominee of his party. "Mr. Bowerman complied with the direct primary law In becoming a candi date (or the Republican nomination for tiovrrnor In that he tiled a sufficiently stcned petition In reguLar form with the proper official and otherwise did every thing required by that law. The pri mary election was regularly held and fairly conducted. No one contends that It was tainted by fraud or corruption. Notwithstanding the handicap of an as sembly Indorsement. Mr. Bowerman re ceived the, most votes for Governor in that election and bvcam the lawful nominee of the Republican party in the only way that any other candidate for any other nomination became such a nominee. I opposed his nomination. I voted against him In the primary elec tion. But I bow to the will of the rank and file of the Republican party as ex pressed by the verdict of the ballot box. The Republicans) have expressed their will They have selected a Rpublican tick A of which Mr. Bowerman Is the head. He is Just as surely and legally and rightfully the nominee of the party as jn I or any other Republican who at the primary election received a plurality cf the votea cast for the nomination sought. Party Will Expressed. "It is said by those who would now have anti-assembly Republicans oppose Mr. Bowerman that he was not the choice of a majority of the members of the party. Neither was Mr. Lafferty. who was nominated for Congress in this dis trict, nor Mr. Weinberger, who was nom inated for Constable in this city., the choice of a majority of the Republican who voted for candidates for those nomi nations. Neither was Jonathan Bourne the choice of a majority of the Repub licans when in 190. by a smaller plural Ity than Mr. Bowerman has obtained, he became the Republican nominee for Vnlted States Senator. Because the car dinal principle of my political creed Is that the will of the. people when delib erately expressed is supreme and that applies to contests within the party for nomination am much as to contests in tne general election between candidates of rival parties I voted for Mr. Bourne for I'ntted States Senator when I was . member of the State Senate In 1D07. I accepted the verdict of the voters, not withstanding the fact that I was elected to the State Senate before our direct pri mary law. with its Statement No. 1 fea ture, was adopted, and was under no ante election obligation so to do, and notwith standing the further fact that I opposed Mr. Bourne's nomination and would ccr talntly never have voted for him for United States Sonaftr If 1 had not felt It my duty to obey the popular mandate. Though I opposed Mr. Bowerman's nomi nation. I ran certainly obey the popular mandate In this instance by supporting him for Governor more cheerfully and with more confidence that he will prove a good and worthy official than. I did when I so voted for Mr. Bourne. Ijivt Provides for Pluralities. "Under our present laws pluralities must decide both In primary elections and general elections. If the election of Sep tember 14 had been a general election and Mr. Bowerman and bis three oppo nents had been candidates for election In stead of for comlnation and the vote had been the same, he would certainly have been elected Governor and as such have been entitled to the same deference and respect as If he had received nine-tenths f all the votes cast. No .more can It be claimed that he now is the less entitled to the same consideration at the hands of Republican votera at the general election than he would have been entitled to had he received nine-tenths of all the votes cast In the recent primary election. "If we want to get away from plurality nominations and plurality elections, we must do it by incorporating into our elec tion haws some voters' second choice pro visions such as they have In Washington and Idaho and other spates, and I am In clined to think that such a provision would be a wise one. "I became a candidate for State Sen ator and took an active part in the primary campaign because I believed that the assembly movement waa in , violation of the letter and spirit of the direct primary law. I still so be lieve and shall continue to do all in my power to preserve the direct pri mary law In Its Integrity. But there are other ways than through assemblies that the direct primary law can be as sailed and be weakened, and to my tnlnd the friends of the direct primary law are furnishing; ammunition to Its enemies when they become parties to a deliberate and concerted effort to defeat one who was regularly nom inated under that law because they did not Indorse his candidacy or ap prove his nomination. And it is be cause I feel that the merits of the dl rect primary law are now being teste that I shall do all In my power to se cure Mr. Bowerman's election. Bowerman's Assurance Enough. "Mr. Bowerman has in an open letter given the most positive assurance thaf he will. If he is elected, veto any bill passed by the Legislature Intended or calculated to weaken or cripple tne direct primary law or even to add to or change It In any particular, and no one could ask more in that regard. So far as Statement No. 1 is concerned Mr. Bowerman as a State Senator voted for Mr. Bourne in 1907 under the same circumstances that I did, and Mr. Bow erman and everyone else know that Statement No. 1 Is here to stay and that the people will not tolerate any inter ference therewith. "I shall be sorry if my attitude this respect gives offense to any of my friends or displeases any of my supporters in the late primary election but I feel it Is clearly my duty as Republican and as a true friend of th direct primary law to give my hearty support to Mr. Bowerman as tne nom lnee of the Republican party for .Gov ernor of this state. The Republican party must be kept together and not be disrupted for the- benefit of those who seek political profit and prefer ment by such disruption. The Republi can party gave the people of this state the Initiative and referendum ana in direct primary law and Statement No. 1. and will, in my opinion, continue to be In the future, as It has been in th past, the party of progress and achieve ment, "In answer to the argument that an assembly was desirable to secure party organization and a united party back of its nominees, I repeatedly urged. durlna- the primary campaign, that so called party organization in behalf of one Reiahblican aspirant for a nomina tion against another was Improper and un-Republican. and that the ume lor party organization waa after the party had In a fair and open direct primary nominated its candidates. That 'time has arrived and all good Republicans should now get together and present a united front to a common enemy ana carry to victory at the polls on No vember 8 the men who have so become the candidates of their party. PRECIXCT VOTE QCESTIOXED Flection Judie Acts as Notary and County Clerk liaises Issue. Because G. A. Tufts, a Judge of the election board In Precinct 23, erroneously swore In 39 votera in his capacity as notary public Instead of aa Judge of the board. County Clerk Fields advanced the theory yesterday that the votes are in valid. The 30 votes were not discovered until after the official election turns had been forwarded to the Secretary of State. Mr. t lelds be lieve-, however, that should the election be contested, it would be necessary to throw out the entire vote In Precinct Z3. Others '-take a different view, as there appears to be no evidence of fraudulent Intent on the part of the voters, the mistake, in fact, being that of Tufts as an election Judge. Tufts is lawyer having an omce at ju?s Washington street. The names of those who voted without being legally sworn are as follows: Jay Bowerman. George H. Durham lawyer: J. 8. Wheeler, laborer; II.

George W. Joseph, Republican nomi nee for state senator, in an interview last nlirht. said that he had not at any time protested against Block "S" as the site recommended to the Post office Department for the proposed mailing depot. 'When the matter was nrst orougnt to my attention, I became Interested In ascertaining whether the building was to be a mailing depot or an ordinary building where deliveries were made direct to the people," said Mr. Joseph. "When I saw Mr. Hill, the agent selected by President Taft to choose the site, he did not care to give out any information. However, when I satisfied myself that the new building was to be a mailing depot, I came to the conclusion that Block "S" was as good a location as could be found, con sidering the price and the trackage facilities. I became interested in the subject from a purely personal stand point and not in the Interest of any merchant or other individuals. I had knowledge when the option on the property would expire and knew that immediate action was necessary to se cure the property at the price, of $325. 000. "With the mailing depot as an auxili ary In disposing of the large volume of buslnees dally. Portland should have as good a service as any city In the country." REPUBLICANS MEET SATURDAY Reunited Party Iicaders to Gather at Salem. Reunited Republicans will hold a rous ing meeting at Salem Saturday night, at which those who were factional leaders in the primary campaign will meet on common (round and promote- the spirit of harmony tint la settling over the party In Oregon. Jay Bofjerman, Republican nominee for Governor, will be one of the principal speakers of the occasion. His leading opponents In the primary fight. Judge Grant B. DImick and E. Hofer, will likewise appear on the programme. Dan J. Malarkey, Insurgent leader In Multnomah County, yesterday accepted an Invitation to speak, and it Is under stood he will strongly advocate the elec ttonof Mr. Bowerman and alt other Re publican candidates as a necessary step in the upholding- of the direct primary law. A number of leading Republicans of Multnomah County are planning to at tend and will leave Portland by car late Saturday afternoon. Bread In Ind"n Is op on. cent a loaf (or four poundai.

BERRY SEES PENNANT THROUGH WITH BUSHERS, SAYS LOS AXGEI.ES MAGNATE. If Successful, He Believes Plan Out lined Will Give South Fast Team Next Season. LOS AXGELE3, Cal., Oct. S. (Spe cial.) Those who construed Henry Berry's action In placing all his pres ent team on the reserve list, sent to Secretary Karrell, to mean that there would be but little strengthening in preparation for next season's race, have another think comlnsr. Berry now has a deal pending: which. he says. If successful, will greatly atrenarthen the team and put it right in line for the pennant next season. Berry leaves for the East Tuesday, ostensibly to witness the world's series. "To endeavor to brinfc these negotia tions to a successful termination Is the real object of my trip East," said Berry today. "If I am successful, we will have a club next season that will make the others get into their high speed, and enable us to make a strong bid for th pennant. I expect to be able to meet in Philadelphia and Chi cago all the men with whom it will be necessary to confer. Right now we are laying our plans for the 1911 pen "I am just about through . experi menting with 'unknown quantities.' Bushers are all right In their place, but the chances are that one of them will lose enough games to cost you the pennant while he is learning the game.

War Department Regulations Apply to Those In Charge of Work of Improving Harbors. Major J. F. Mclndoe and Major Jay J. Morrow. Corps of United States En gieers. United States Army, In charge of work in local districts, who have traveled much during the past few months, are facing a further test of endurance, for they are to start from Vancouver Barracks Thursday on a 90- mile ride, which is the annual constitu tional prescribed by the War Depart ment, evidently for the purpose of pre venting field officers from acquiring su perfluous avoirdupois.-. The engineer officers probably will not be alone in the test, but their work has been so generally confined to har bor improvements, the deepening of channels and such details, which neces sitated spending much time aboard vessels and listening to those who go down to the sea in ships, that they are polishing up on mounted signals so as to guard against the use of such terms as "port." "starboard" and "full speed ahead." The ride will probably be made to a point 30 miles from Vancouver, and as three days are allowed for the full dis tance, the second day will necessitate a rrde 15 mllas from camp and return. and the third day take them back to the post. The test was to have been made at the American Lake maneu vers, but was postponed when troops were ordered to tight forest fires.. of review in the Supreme Court demand ing a recount.
