CAUTION IS BEING URGED Itecent Development Bring About Chance of Heart Talk of Com promise Candidate at Chi cago Gain Ground. OREUOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, J una (.Democrata In Concreii are not ao confident aa tney war mix weeka go that their party will aweep the country In tha November election, and name not only tha President, bat the Houa of Repreaen tatlvea and cap ture enough Btate Lesrlslaturea to tlve them control of th next tfenate. Cloak room gossip around tha Capitol Indi cate clearly that tha Iemocrallo brethren are losing- heart, and tha pre vailing talk imonK Democratic bana tor and Repreaantatlvaa beara oa tb naceaalty of nominating tha BtronKeat avatlabla candidate whoae nam 1a pre aented to th Baltimore convention. It waa not many weeka mm that any and every Democrat In Congre vti ready to predict unqualifiedly that th lrmocratla candidate for President would be elected next November, no matter who might be nominated by the Uepubllcana at Chicago. Now "hoy are urging; caution In the selection of their own candidate for President and want the beet vote-fetter th party can pro duce, whether he be an aaplrant for the office at thla time or not. And thla change of heart hae been brough about largely by development In the Republican party. Reaaltea' Party I'paete I'rapaeta. Trom the beginning. Democratic ten atora and Representative have enter tained the belief that they could defeat 1'realdent Taft, ihould h be nominated. And for a tlm they wet greatly en rouraged by the attack whl:h Colonel Rooaevelt made upon the Prealdent, for they figured that Rooeavel, while un able to get the nomination for hlmaelf, would keep th Republic in purtv split wide open, and would either greatly re duce tha Republican vote In November by hi opposition to th ticket, or would lead a bolt, and thus make Im possible th election of elthe- Repub lican ticket. But things have not divef-.-ped In the Republican party aa the Demo crata expected, and wlln a possibility that neither Taft nor Roosevdlt will b nominated, but a compromise, prob ably Justice Hughes, may b the ulti mate aolutlon. the Democrata are be coming alarmed. Tha nomination of such a man as Hughes would reunite the warring Republican factions; he would have the support of both the Itnnsevelt and .the Taft factions, and, being on of th ableat campalgnera In th Republican party, would make a campaign the equal of that which could be put up by any one of the Democratic possibilities. A reunited party Is some thing the Democrata did not figure on, and with one In prospect they are paus ing to take their bearings. Rooaevelt Ala Feared. It Is alao true that the Democrats are fearful that Colonel Rooaevelt may be nominated at Chicago, and they do not like that. Not a few Democrata In private conversation express the fear that Rooaevelt would cut Into the Dem ocratic party and get support from th radical element. They realise that he would not have the full support of Taft republicans, but they feel that with Rooaevelt the Republican nominee, there would be lees knifing In the Re publican party than If Taft should be named at Chicago. They believe the Taft men are better party men than the followers of Rooaevelt. There I a surprisingly strop; un dercurrent of sentiment imms Repub-lii-sns In Conareaa In favor of a com promise at Chicago, and particularly la thla true among Houe member. "If we can ret together and nominate Hughes," said a Western memoir who Is doubtful about his own chance of re. election, "there will be a good chance of fleeting a Republican House, for llugha would mak a whirlwind cam paign, anil, I believe, could defeat any candidate the Democrats might put up. Hughe, by bringing both factlona of ttvei party together, would oring out a heavy vote, and Republican Congree. ilonal nominees would bneflt to that pxtent. Hughes, of course, has been clear out of the factional quarrel. He lias not takew, sides as between Taft and Hoosere.lt. and Is not candidate for tha nomination. He would suffer not at all from the Taft-Roosevelt fight and would be a tremendously strong man for the Chicago convention to name." llama la Sorearflaa. It I Just this possibility that la spreading alarm among the Democrat of the rbonate and House. They realise that Hughes would have a reunited party hhltvd him. They know that with Hughes heading the ticket. th Mtternes engendered by the Taft Koonnvelt quarrel would disappear In the month preceding th campaign, And all Republican would ba com bined to oppose the Iemocratto nomi nee. It Is no iMtrrt that Hughe le a much-feared man among Democrat. For the Democrats have all along been counting upon facing a disrupted Republican party: and they have fear that a remnltod party would outvote them in November, regardless of who they might nominate at Baltimore.

Rushlight Says Undesirables Should Get Long Sentences to Rock Piles. POLICE RECORDS SHOWN Executive Declare Arrest and Trials In Many Caaea Are Abor tive Small Flnea Often the Only Penalty Imposed. Mayor Rushlight yesterday gave out the eontenta of a speolally prepared re port, compiled by u polloa department, showing that the polio during th past three months hav arrested and prose cuted 17 parasite and disorderly wo men. Without mentioning any names or making any reference to any particu lar Individual, th Mayor declared that th result of these arrest and prosecutions bare been. In many caaea, abortive: small fine have been Im posed, which, he polnte out, are Inef fective. Criticism of the polio department by the county grand Jury for May, In th form of a letter to th Chief of Polloa, brought about a tabulated statement of arrests and prosecutions, wtth the court result la each case. This shows that th police hav been actlv to th xtent of arresting and prosecuting disorderly women and men said to live from their earnings to the extent of ITS during Marob. April and May. aeateaeea Declared Tea) Light. Fines, It Is shown, were Imposed In the Municipal Court la many Inatanoaa. although In some oases Jail sentencee or sentences to the rockplle ' were given. Several were given to day on the rockplle one day. The highest sen tence Imposed waa 1(0 day. "The aentence given In court in theae cases are too light. commented tb Mayor. "A fin Is no - punish ment to a man who lives from th earning of a fallen woman; what he need Is at least one year on the rock plle. He needs to be set at work and made to keep at It for a long term. If he 1 fined, some woman simply ha to put up the money for payment; he gets off lightly. I would like to see heavier flnea Imposed and rockplle sentences given In caae of conviction of these men. The Mayor aald that he had striven to make Portland an undesirable place for parasite, but that it has been a difficult thing to make headway. He pointed out the fact that when any of these men are arrested and prose cuted and fined or Imprisoned, they are sooner or later set at liberty. If they remain here. It Is then up to the police not only to rearrest them, but to furnish new proof of their mis conduct. This, he said, 1 hard to do, They could not ba arrested and sent to prison on the old evidence, having paid the full penalty meted out by the court for that offenae. Yoatae Famish Praklea. In some Instance, th Mayor aald, young men who have occupation ar proving to be the worst offenders against young women and are curnisn Ing a hard problem for the police to solve. To arrest them for vagrancy would bring no results, aa they could aet qd their occupation as a dafenae and undoubtedly beat the case, he said. The Mayor said that he would gladly provide ample room for parasite on th rockplle. If the court would sen tence them to long terms at bard labor. Hla Idea In this connection Is to have a rockplle on Roa Island, which he advocatee taking over by the city for municipal purposes. Hla belief is that th only mean of breaking tip th habit these men have of living such dissolute Uvea la to make them work at rock-breaking or other labor artd that fines ar of no avail. The letter from the grand Jury to Chief Slover. it has been cited. Is a radical departure from the action of other similar bodies and it has been Intimated In City Hall circle that It might hav been Inspired for political purposes.
