GLORY NOT DUE CLAIMED Ie moors tic Candidate for GoTernor Said to B Allied With Bourne and Chamberlain for Rail road Interests. - Friends . of Oswald West. Railroad Commissioner and Democratic nominee for Governor, have Industriously cir culated the report among; the West Side counties that he compelled the South ern Pacific Company virtually to re build its Portland-CorvalUs line. In vestigating; this matter, the Ropubll can state committee has ascertained that the railroad company had ordered the material for this Improvement and part of the equipment had been deliv ered over a year before West made his much-advertised "hobo" trip over that part of the company's system. That the public may be made ac quainted with the facts In connection with the rebuilding of the West Side railroad, the state committee yesterday Issued the following; statement in the form of a bulletin for general distri bution: "Oswald West, the Bournecratlc can didate for Governor, has very evidently played to the galleries for several years, acquiring a buncombe reputa tion, with a view of the time wn he should run for the highest executive office In the state. West's Claims Sweeping. "He has very cleverly made a large number of the people believe that he has performed many wonders and In stigated great reforms for the popu lace whom he now asks to reward him. In this acquisition of near-popularity he has been ably advised by the two chiefs of the Senatorial machine who hope to continue themselves In office by giving West control of their state machine, while they play 'politics, golf and poker" at $7500. per year, with mileage, at the seat of our National Government. Toes it not appear clear to the thinking citizen that the railroad cor porations had an' understanding ' with Governor Chamberlain when Went was made Railroad Commissioner? If they did not. does any one suppose that the power of the corporations would be ' exerted in elevating the Governor to the Senstorshlp If be bad made an appointment en alverse to them a Wut and his friends would have us believe? "The Bournecratlc machine is charg ing that Acting Governor Powerman Is the candidate of the corporations, and It Is 'considered thst this Is 'good politics' to poor upon Bowermnn all the odium that attaches to a corpora tion tool without the RepnMlcan can didate receiving any benefit. As a matter of fart the corporations are taking but little part In the campaign, as far as we are able to ascertstn. hut that little H In the Interest of West's candidacy. A right-of-way official usuallv credited with doing polities' in Tears past, and a division superin tendent are verv active In nrgtng. even demanding, support for West. Yet Aided by Corporations. -The Republican Pfate Central Com mlttee has not received or solicited any help in any wav from corporations, neither de It expect any. k "Acting Governor Rowerman'a firm stand for a utilities commission, and his measure to protect the positions and reputations of corporation emp!ove precludes snv possibility of the cor porations aiding his csndldscy. "The Influence of two United States Fenators. whose candidate and pro tege Is Mr. West. Is of far more Im portance to the railroads in securing land grants, free rlrhts of way over and acros forest and Indian reserves, and other service at Washington, than the good or harm a Governor- can do them In a decade. "The Railroad Commission has cor rected many abuses, and .tr West, who has assumed every glory to be at tached to the wofk of the entire com mission, has seen to It that he has been heralded and credited with all that was done, but he doea not tell us. nor do w know what Is being credited to him by the railroads themselves, which makes them so anxious to pay a po litical debt by supporting Mm In his ambition to be Governor of Oregon. At the same time West and his friends are fslselr accusing Mr. Bowermnn of be ing aided by corporations. "Hobo Trip" Is Buncombe. "West and hla friends make jnuch of Ms "hobo trip from Corvallls to Port land for the purpose of personally In specting the railroad.' This was played up' in a spectacular manner with melodramatic effect at every sta tion along the route " where West stopped and harangued the populace on the manner in which the railroads were Imposing on them. West told them that he would force the railroad com pany to make travel safe even If he compelled them 'virtually to rebuild the road.' "This was purely buncombe. "In the evening of February 11. ln. a train was wrecked near Forest Grove and a man. woman and ci.lld unfor tunately lost their lives. "The Railroad Commission not slro p'r Oswald West but the Commission, met the company'e officials early the next morning and all participated In making a thorongh Investigation of the cause of trie deplorable accident. "The State Commission tinder date of February t. 190. made an exhaustive report aimed by all three commis sioners. One paragraph of the report Is: 'In 191 traffic conditions appeared to Justify heavier rails on this division. Accordingly SO miles of TJ-pound rails were ordered for delivery In the year HOT. which It was contemplated would be laid on this division between Rea verton and McCoy. The frogs. fasten In rs. tie plates and larger tics are aw a ta a-reaad. The laying of this heavier steel will aractlcally necessi tate a reconstruction of the roadbed and Involves ballasting the track and strengthening of brldses where neces sarv to S'irport heavier equipment and traffic. We recommend that the re. laying of this track with heavier steel be proceeded with steadily eearaias; the alaaa atllaea by (be ceaeral is. aeriateadeai. Grandstand Tactics I'sed. "Mr. West. In case he did not par tlelpal in formulating this report, at tached his signature and araat have krm aware that materials were on tanJl tot liracticaUT rebulldine; tae road February ii. 1908. Several weeks later he made his walking tour and pulled a spike out of a rotten tie by the roadside. "This he exhibited and. with his 'ac customed modesty,' told the people that he would order a virtual reconstruc tion" of the road. "Plans for new depots are drawn and sent to New York for approval In the regular course the plans are returned In generally less than 60 days and the work of building is commenced. In many Instances, notably Cottage Grove and Gaston, has the actual order of building been forestalled wh'le await ing the return of the plans from the head office at New York, and some of the people of those and other localities have been fooled Into believing that I did It.' "In the same manner the order of preparing Interurban cars out of Port land waa forestalled between the time the order of the company was made for heating and the work completed. "Again, in citing this Instance, the Bourneate macnlne leaders and follow ers ask and declare: 'Woul'o't he make a good Governor? He did It. "Thus are the 'goods delivered, all the time having In view the gathering of material to use in the "campaign in fooling" as large a part of the people as possible. WOODMEN SEEKlOME LOCAL CAMP PROPOSES TO AID INDIGENT MEMBERS. Plan Is to Build Structure for TJsa of Entire. State) to Be) lo cated in Portland. A home for aged or helpless members of the "Woodmen of the World In Oregon Is projected. At a recent meeting of Mult nomah Camp. No. 77. at the hall on East Sixth street, the matter was brought up, discussed and strongly fa vored by those who expressed thero selvca The committee reported at the lae meeting. When the report had been made the project struck such a popular wave that 25 members declared that they individually would subscribe $a each to get the project under way. The general plan Is to make the home for the entire state and locate it on a tract of CO or 100 acres of land near transportation lines, not far from Portland. Suggestions as to location were mere ly tentative, but the general plan of the Oddfcltowe' Home maintained In Port land and In other states by that order, waa favored. .It is proposed to secure as large a tract of land as possible, so the institution will be self-supporting in some measure- The committee was con tinued and the project Is now being submitted to the 1 camps of the for their consideration, and the result de pends on what action they take. J M. Wood worth, clerk of Multnomah Camp, in speaking of the proposed Wood men Home, said: "We realise that ths time Is coming when the Woodmen order in this state will need such a home as la proposed. We have now 17.0O members, and the time is coming soon when we shall need a place where we can take care of oM and help less members., the same as the Oddfel lows are doing here. I am not familiar enough with the project to explain Jue what the final plan will be. except that It will cover the entire state, and that a largo tract of land will be secured for cultivation. , .. - . - - lwtfon la not "vnue nm av. - settled, the home will probably be lo- ... . t '.....( Portland has a cuiea near - - . - , , Urge membership and would furnish much of the money.

BREACH- GROWING WIDER Open War Between Connty and State Committee Just Averted by Cooler Heads, Who Prevent Introduc tion of Scathing- Resolution. Cooler Judgment exercised at the last minute, alone prevented the introduction at the meeting of the Democratic Coun ty Central Committee Saturday night of a resolution which would have material ly widened the breach between the state and county organizations of that party. It was learned yesterday that one of the nominees on the Democratic ticket In this county went to the Saturday night meeting with such a resolution In his pocket, but concluded. Just before the meeting convened, not to take the action which would surely aggravate an already Inharmonious condition that has passed the reconciliation stage. While it was Impossible yesterday to obtain a copy of the proposed resolution, it is known to have been a most drastic, one. It recited in plain and uncom promising language tlie fact that the members of the stats committee. In con ducting a one-man campaign in behalf fff West for Governor, was guilty of party disloyalty in disregarding the other nominees on the ticket. The unquestioned political partnership existing between Bourne and Chamber Iain, one condition of which is the com bined support by the Senators of West's candidacy alone, la also amid to have come In for a thorough denunciation and repudiation. Inability of the county and legislative candidates to obtain the same editorial support and Indorsement West Is receiving and the direct charge that this support for the head of the ticket was procured through the Influence of the exate committee without any consid eration. for the other candidates on the ticket, was the subject for further com ment In the resolution that was withheld. The conclusion not to present the resolution, however, is not to be ac cepted as a sign that the dove of peace has returned to the Democratic camp in this county. Failure of the committee at Its Saturday night meeting to vote unani mously to support all the nominees on the ticket has been followed by much rebellious talk on the part of members of the party who have not been admitted to the secrets of the one-man campaign programme. The members of the County Committee take the position that the Democratic party has too long been playing the one-man gamo In politics In this state and then always In favor of the party's candidate for Uovernor or United States Senator at the expense of the other candidates on the ticket of equally un questioned loyalty. For that reason, many" Democrats this year are aotlvely and openly demurring to the Bourne- Chamherlaln-West game, which means a continuation of West, the professional office holder, while the other candidates get the go-by. "For something like SO years now we. as Democrats, have been supporting Chamberlain for publio office - loyally," suid a candidate on the Democratic ticket In this county yesterday. "We have always delivered our votes and a4ced no questions. In fact, we did It four years ago when the one-man" cam paign was successfully conducted for Chamberlain for Governor. We were equally responsive two years ago In the election of United States Senator, but we arc tiring of the game. Ws want a new deal. "For one. I am not going to be de luded at this time into playing this game, which means the preliminary move to wards the renomlnatlon of Bourne two year hence with the assistance of Demo crats. In this campaign the candidates on the county and legislative tickets all good, clean and deserving Demo cratsneed and are entitled to the sup port of Qhainberlnln and the state or ganisation. We have asked for It and have received no satisfaction. "If we are forced to get along with out the assistance of the state com mittee and Chamberlain, whom we al ways havo supported, it is possible the state organization in its determination to elect West Governor and Ignore the rest of the ticket, can get along without our support." Democratic Candidates to Meet. Candidates on the Democratic state ticket will meet in Portland next Sat urday for a conference. . This meeting will be held at Democratic headquarters In the Swetland building and will be attended by the members of the Demo cratic State Central Committee. At this time the political situation will be re viewed and plans perfeced for carrying on the campaign for the two weeks en suing until election.
