Further Inquiry Into h relations b

Bourne, but that others affiliated with
him ar of tL Mint opinion and wer

erance of relation between th two

Act Belt Dealala.
Open acta of th La Follott leader
bell th denial hlch they now brln
forward. Eryn know that La
Follette refused to make his campaign
through th National pwro,:el,,v
League. His refusal to subscrib to
much that Bourn Is advocating- la wll
known, and Bournes failure to men
tion La Follette in hi publicity lltera
. hv all who re-
celv that rratultous material.
Had ther been no estrangement
and wr both bureaus working- in har
mony. thr would hav been deliber
ate co-operation, but ther la none.
Rather La Follette. In order to avoid
being identlfled with Bourne's move
ment. Ignored th Progressive League
and opened an Independent bureau of
hia own. and with that bureau Bourn
has no connection. Bourne doe not
ven visit La Follette headquarters.
It 'is also true that Senator Bourn
nver declares for La Folletta unless
pressed for public expression of opin
ion. Thla fact haa been commented
upon by La Follette's follower, aom
of whom ar strongly of opinion that
Bourn first preference la not La Fol
lette. Banker HelptaaT La Fll.
Another Interesting discovery at La
Follette headquarters Is that E. Clar
ence Jones, a New York bsnker of con
siderable means, la furnishing a large
part of th money now used by th
La Follatt publicity bureau. It being
his hop and expectation that h may
be named aa running mat with La
Follett tf La Follett should be o
fortunat as to control th convention.
Jones la mor liberal with hia money
than Bourne and hi very liberality ha
placed La Follette under a heavy obligation-
All of which Is disconcert
ing to th Oreaon Senator, who Is gen
erally suspected of harboring "running
mate" ambitions of bis own.
No on believe h la willing to play
th ram for glory alone.
Insofar aa air. McCormlck'a denial Is
concerned. It need only be said that th
wealthy Chlcagoan haa been most care
ful in his talks with newspaper men
who are advancing the La Follette
cause to caution them against men
tioning the name of Senator Bourn In
connection with th work of th La
Follette bureau and to make it plain
that th La Follatt bureau and th
Bourn bureau ar separate and dis
tinct organisations.

WQMEN RUFFLED AT HAY
Seattle Suffrnglft Brings ;oslp
About Governor From Kaxt.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. IS. (Spe
cial.) Washington women suffragists
will oppose the re-election of Governor
Hay; Wisconsin and Kansas will be
the next stars In the suffrag flag;
Natlon-wld equal euffrasre will b e
cured by amending th Federal legis
lation. Anyway, these are the prediction
A. Smith, of Seattle. Mrs. Smith Is
president of the wasnington ouumgo
t ... v. . m ... 1 tt .rirnnli.il a.nvilta.rv
of th ' National Suffrage Association.
Sh I on ner way nome iroru m
Suffrage Convention at St. Louis.
Governor Hay has never favored
woman suffrage," said Mrs. Smith,
"and w women believe in reciprocity.
Feeling among the women la strong
against th Governor In the western
half of th state. I guess it Is much
the same over here.
"Governor Hay did not make much
of an Impression for this state In the
East. He spoke with Governors of
other suffrage states and put up an
awfully poor talk. He told the audi
ence that if the women of New Tork
were -properly brought up and edu
cated, they might get satisfaction In
60 years. Afterward I was asked what
kind of a Governor we had."
250 RETAILERS GATHER
MERCHANTS TALK SHOP OVER
PORTLAND HOTEL DINNER.
W. F. Lipman. Says Dealers Are
Prey of Collector 54 Join. As-'
' sodatlon After Appeal.
Retail business men of Portland to
the number of 250. representing mem
bers of th Retail Merchants' Associa
tion, and others met at a dinner at th
Portland Hotel last night at which sub
jects affecting the interests of th re
tall merchants were treated In a se
ries of short addresses. William F.
Woodward, president of the Retail
Merchants' Association, acted as toast
master. R. M. Gray dwelt on the Influence
the merchant has' In elevating civic
politics. W. B. Shlvely. assistant sec
retary of the Retail Merchants' Asso
ciation, speaking- on "Th Theory of
Contribution," referred to contribu
tions that result in no advantage to
the merchant and have no relation to
his Interests. ". v -
In his address on "Advantages of
the Association," W. F. Lipman said
tb heavy burdens of subscriptions to
civic enterprises and cbaritlea are
borne by the retail merchant. The
n.r.r.hnt Jia declared, is always ac
cessible to th ollcltor, while the
wealthy landioro is uauany aoeonv
from the city and his agent Is not
easily reached. He also dwelt on the
necessity of an ordinance compelling
saloons to withdraw from the shopping
district. This, h said, bad been ac
complished in Los Angeles, and would
be an advantage to the publlo as well
ss the merchant.
C. S. Jackson referred to the exces
sive valuation of property offered for
sale as compared with the assessed
valuation. This was Illustrated by Mr.
Jackson In the transrer or several vain
able pieces of property recently. The
bringing -of real estate values down
from an Inflated condition, he said,
would tend to lower the high rents
now prevailing.
W. F. Woodward urged increasing
of membership. A stronger organisa
tion, he maintained, would be able to
exert strong Influence In Important
mrrr l h nfASPTlted tO thO
City of Portland. He mentioned the
Bennett plans for the improvement, ui
the city, paying the commission who
originated the civic plan movement a
high compliment for Its foresight and
energy. He urged members of the as
sociation to give thoughtful considera
tion to the new charter and its pro
visions. Th plans for the Auditorium
wer also dwelt upon by him.
Captain William Gadsby and E. T.
Tlmms also spoka briefly In commenda
tion of the work of the association for
its members. C. C Chapman then ad
dressed the gathering; on the results to
be obtained from such an organization
and asked those present not already
members to join the association. As a
result of his appeal 64 new names were
gleaned, bringing the membership roll
up to 100.
