1 THE MOnXIXG OREGOXIAy, TnURSPAY, ' OCTOBKK W, HEARSTLESS PARTY STAYS ON BALLOT Though Robbed of Chief, Inde pendence League Has Re tained Its Emblem. TAMMANY FIGHT FORECAST Republican Who Enteird Fusion Atranrrmcnt In w York Are AH at Sra HearM Coin Will Find New Channels. NEW TORK. Oct. IS (Special.) Her la tbe new Independence Leasrue campaign sonar: Wsvs loet our Hearst : We tear the worst. Tho organization la aUll with ua. It has a party column on the ballot tbla year, and will be entitled to a almllar privilege at the Presidential election. For the law sars that any combination that polls 10.000 rotes for a candidate for Governor haa a right to make nomi nations by convention, and place them upon the ticket. In 110 John J. Hopper, the leacue's candidate for Con areas, polled 4S.470 votea running neck and nock with Charles Edward Kussell. Socialist, who rot .&:. while all the Prohibitionists could acrape up were 23.295. The trouble Is that Hearst baa left the Independence League and enrolled s a Democrat. So has Clarence J. Shearn. his personal attorney, fusion nominee for the Supreme Court. Like arise Arthur Brisbane, and the report era and copy readers of the Hearst chain of newspapers. They are all good Democrate now. and are lustily cheering for Well, they haven't announced yet whom they are booming. But experi enced politicians can guess. Fallawera feet 1f Tm Late. It must not be Imagined that the league emblem has been entirely for gotten. Many of the rank and file who honestly believe In the third party have put their cross under It. Also many of the leadera didn't tret the tip In time. Among the latter la John J. Hopper, chairman of the state committee, nomi nee for Governor last year, and now the fusion candidate for Sheriff. Mr. Hopper didn't have the slightest Idea his leader meant to Jump the reserva tion until he read Hearsfa speech. "I enrolled aa an Independence Leaguer myself." Mr. Hopper declares. "It surprised me to hear that Mr. Hearst Is a Democrat. No one gave me any Intimation of It. The first news was what I read In tha papers. Many of ns are sticking to our party. It la too late to change now. for we are reg istered. Anyway. I do not want to be., a Democrat again until the city and state organtsatlona reform." Hesrst's change of front Is tsken aa an Indication that he expects to rut soma Ice In the nest Democratic Na tional convention. He seems to have a fair chance of rapturing the Illinois delegates, through tho men who are righting National Committeeman Sulll 'van. and he haa hopes In California. Now that he haa enrolled as a Demo crat. Hearst will have the privilege of participating In the Tammany pri maries next Spring, when the first move Is made to elect delegates to the National convention. The understand ing Is that the money which haa here tofore been expended on the Independ ence League will be used to finance an anti-Tammany movement. Taaaaaaay I-eadera la Daager. If Hearst decides on a primary fight, he ran make It decidedly Interesting for some of the district leaders. In fart It would not be surprising were some of them defeated, for in certain sections of the city Hearst Is strong. Furthermore much can be accomplished on primary day If one Is willing to ex pend mone,. There Is more than a possibility that Hearst and Charles V. Mnrphy will be sested In the same delegation In the convention ball. An Interesting problem arises as to what (he Democratic League will do if Hearst wages a party war on Tam many. Tho league was organised and Is controlled principally by Thomas Mott On brne. ex-Mayor of Auburn, and fr a time one of Governor Dlx' confi dential advisers. Hearst and Osborne are bitter ene mies, and the Auburn man bolted his party ticket when Hearst was nomi nated for Governor In IMS. Each gets violently excited when the other's name Is mentioned. If the Iiemocratlc League Indorsed Hearst. Osborne would quit In wild ex citement. The trouble Is. however, that the majority of Osborne's forces are rabid anti-Hearst men: also bitter anti-Murphy men. A fight between Tammany Hall and the editor would place them In a pitiful position. Kanlea aJera feaaeajaearee.' Politicians generally agree that the abandonment of his party by Hearst will have a bad effect upon the fusion ticket In this county. Old line Repub licans have been growling right along over the nominees they sre asked to support. Now Hearst cornea along and eaye they must be elected, so aa to strengthen the Democratic party for the fight in the Nation next KalL Good Republicans fall to see why they should do that. They hope to see Taft carry New York next year, and those who believe that Hearst has the correct angle on conditions will care fully avoid voting for the fusion Judi ciary candidates. -Why on earth should we try to put the Democratic party on a war foot ing?" one Indignant Republican asked today. .And no Republican can answer him. The Tammany Judiciary ticket Is tha best one thst Murphy haa ever nomi nated. With the exception of Dan Cohalan. every candidate was virtually forced upon him by public sentiment. It would not strengthen the boss to any extent If It were elected. Re aaHca a t'baaees Brighter. The Republican leaders are paying little attention to the county ticket, but are privately working hard to elect Assemblymen and Aldermen. Tbe In dications are that they will regain the lower house at Albany, and have a fghtlng chance to control the City Fathers. In the meantime the faithful Inde pendence League men are running around In circles, uttering fearful crlea. They are sheep without a shepherd, and all they can do Is to blest dismally and wonder who will feed them, now that they have been sheared. It la pointed out. however, that Hearst la atlll In an excellent strategic position. He bss left his party. It Is true, but he can return any time he decides to buy an admlsson ticket. Suppose he goes to the next Na tional convention, and loses nut. aa he haa done before. He can return to the ilty and find his faithful Independence League column waiting for him on the official ballot. The third party machinery Is still In the hands of his friends. If he feels so inclined, before one can say "Latest extra." a list of Presidential electors and a full state ticket will spring Into life, to be a thorn In the side of the regular Iemocracy on election day. And the Independence Leaguers, now starving In the slough of despondency, can be relied upon to answer the clar ion call, vote for the faithful Hopper for Governor, and the "Mrs. Micawber" Khearn for President (or Vice-President), not forgetting all the time to chant that cheering refrain "Hearst! Hearst! Hearst!" The weather indications are that the Demorrata will have a lively time In New York State next year, no matter what may happen on the coming elec tion day.

A wireless report from Hsnkow tonight Indicates that the Imperialists re already closely In touch. Revolutionary sympathisers excuse the lark of Initiative on the part of Ooneral LI Tuan Hong, the rebel com mander, by crediting him with a deep laid plan to permit Yin Tchang to en ter the Hu-peh pass snd then rut him off. Military men credit neither com mander with great ability. L'ndoubt edly the palace la urging the war mln later forward because of the dire ne cessity for a prompt victory. Should he fall to fight, or lose his first engage ment, there will be no hope of check Inr the revolt. The moral position of the rebels Is stronger than that of thai Imperialists. They could lose a battle without com plete) defeat, having other cities to rally around. But the defeat of Tin Tchang. In view of the wavering throughout the troopa everywhere, would leave the dynaaty unable to cope with the situation In a single, province. It Is commonly reported In Pekln that the Imperial family Is ready for flight. The road to Jehol. lis mliea north-northeast of Tekln. Is studded Ith troops. Other rumors designate the foreign settlements In Tientsin aa the possible refuge. A wireless dlsostrh received by the German legation said that the rebels advanced to Seven Mile Creek today and engaged the enemy In an extended skirmish. The rebels subsequently re tired a short distance. The message adds that It Is Impossible to estimate the Importance of the engagement. Advices from the revolutionary head quarters at different points show thst the rebels everywhere are carefully avoiding excesses. The British Inniskilltng dragoons who had started for India have been ordered to return to Tekln tomorrow. They are now at Tientsin.

COAL WASTE IS ENORMOUS Fifty Per Cent 'ow Declared to Be Left In Mines Because It Is Xot Profitable Leasing Is Op posed by West. V- aa - Lhf 1 GKWTrWs CHICAGO, 6ct. J5. A Governmental commission or a special Congressional commission to make a thorough Inves tigation of Alaskan conditions was urged Xty John Dern. of Salt Lake City, president of the American Min ing Congress, today. "These men should not bolster up the pet views of any set of men," he said, "but they should have tbe sole purpose of gatbering Information so the United States could act Intelligently In framing an Alaskan policy." President Dern reviewed -mining conditions of the last year and made numerous suggestions for putting the Industry on a sounder basis. "First, the American Mining Con gress can perform no greater service," he said, "than to eliminate mining frauds and to see that the Investor gets a square deal. To this end, we are de sirous that the Eastern coal miners should ally themselves more heartily with the Western metal miners. East's latereata Ideatlcal. "Their Interests are identical and In the union would be found the strength to carry out the reforms the Congress has undertaken. "The true status of the Alaskan sit uation seems hard to find out. The conflicting- statements received are dis concerting to a man who Is trying to ke himself In a judicial frame of mind. What we need more than any thing else Is accurate, reliable, un biased Information. I am convinced thai tbe United States Government will do Justice to Alaska as soon as It has undlsputable data about actual condi tions. . "An appropriate step to acquire this information would be by the appoint ment of a special commission. "There can be no real objection to a National forestry policy. We give our unqualified approval to any well-directed efforts to prevent forest fires and avoid damage from Injudicious de forestation. Leasing Does Not Impress West. "I do not believe the majority of Western men are Impressed with the wisdom of a plan to lease coal and oil lands. "What to do with our water power la a harder question. The most important thing Is not to make the water power a source of revenue to the Government, but to provide that the water can be obtained by those who need It at the lowest possible rates. Then there Is a broad conservation that has particular force In the mining Industry. The waste In mining is something enormous and unlike for estry waste, it cannot be replaced. I have heard that 60 per cent of coal is left In the mines because it does not pay to clean up. According to this, we are wasting half a billion dollars worth of coal a year."

Northern Counties Favor Candidate Xot Picked by Politicians G. W. P. Ilnnt and Edward K. Wells for Governor; PHOENIX. Arlx., Oct. 23 On the face of the returns sufficiently complete to make the result" virtually certain, George W. P. Hunt will be the Demo cratic nominee for Governor against Edward R. Wells, of Prescott, Republi can, In the first state election December 11. Wells experienced slight opposition In the primaries yesterday from George W. Young, territorial secretary. But Hunt, who served as president of tha constitutional convention last yean de feated Thomas F. Weedln. of Florence, in spite of the opposition of nearly every Democratic paper In the new state. The Democrats polled by far the heavier vote In the primary yesterday, owing to the large number of contests for party honors. In the Senatorial con test, pre-election forecasts evidently have been set awry by Henry F. Ashurst. who polled so heavy a vote In the northern counties that Indications point to. his nomination with Mark Smith as Democratic nominee for United States Senator. Before the elec tion, politicians believed that the nomi nees would be Smith and Eugene S. Ives, of Tucson. Ralph Cameron, of Flagstaff, and Hoval A. Smith, of Bls bee, are the Republican opponents. Edward M. Doe. one of the three Re publican nominees for the State Su preme Court, announced Just prior to the primary that he could not serve.

Wagers of 2 to 1 thatthe commission form of government would not carry here tomorrow when It Is put to the test of the ballot, were made freely In the streets tonight. The general sen timent, as nearly as can be ascertained. Is against the move, -although friends of the plan declare that It will carry. The adverse sentiment is not directed at the commission plan, but rather against the form of the new charater aa It will go before the people. Regis tration, although the books were closed at noon today. Is heavy, more than 1300 having registered, which Is particularly high for a special election In Salem. The fight which . has been waged against the proposed charter has all been over Its form. From this fact enemies of the charter base their belief that the vote will be heavy against the charter.

How To Keep Hair Soft and Beautiful Jane Tyrel, on Beauty "Too much moisture saps the life of scalp tissues and hair-roots, causing an excessively oily condition or a dry, harsh, dandruff-laden scalp and dull, "stringy," brittle, falling hair.

A trior oughly reliable preparation can be made at Utlte cost by mixing either 4 ounces orris root or corn meal with 4 ounc therox. One tablespoonful is enough for a shampoo.
