THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1912. 14 T. R. SAYS 6 STATES HAVEPLANNEDnOUP Bodily Capture of Republican Organization by Progres sives Is Scheme. SOME CHANGES REQUIRED Where Law Requires Names of Pres. ldentlal Nominees on Ballot Xew Electors Will Be Chosen in Each State. OTSTER BAT. K. Y.. July S5.-Slx -......h Dannhllran RtntPft have adopted a plan. Colonel Roosevelt aald tonight, for the bodily capture of the Republi can orfranlaatlons oy me iMiuuuai Progressive party. tv,a aidtaa he niimfd are Kansas. Minnesota. South Dakota. Idaho, Cali fornia and Washington. In eacn 01 them, he Is informed, the Republican organisation Is controlled by the new party. It is the intention to restrain the name Republican and place candi dates for Congress and State offices on the regular Republican ticket. In states in which the law requires that the names of Taft and Sherman be placed on the ballot as the Re publican nominees, the Roosevelt can i ...... ., .l.rtnr. will sro i na aepa- rate column. Where the law does not exact this, the Roosevelt canaiaaies probably will be placed under the reg ular Republican emblem, on the theory that Colonel Roosevelt Is the legiti mate nominee of the party. This claim goes back to the meeting held In Chicago the night the Repub lican National convention adjourned. The Roosevelt delegates, together with Roosevelt candidates for seats in the National convention who were ex cluded, assembled in Orchestra Hall and tendered the Presidential nomina tion to Colonel Roosevelt, declaring that they constituted a majority of the honestly chosen delegates to the con vention. Colonel Roosevelt said, however, that as he understood It. this decision ap plied merely to the candidates for state and Congressional ofiices and that the Republican candidates for electors, who are Roosevelt men. would resign and run on the National Progressive ticket. The other Republican candidates are to be supported by the followers of Colonel Roosevelt, working through the Republican Organization. BEVERIDGE TO BE CHAIRMAN Indlanan Is Picked for Temporary Head of Chicago Convention. CHICAGO, July 25. Announcement of the selection of Albert J. Beveridge, ex-United States Senator from Indiana, as temporary chairman of the National Progressive convention to be held In Chicago August 5. was the chief dev elopment In political circles here to day. The announcement was made by United States Senator Dixon, of Mont ana, director of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign. At the same time a letter from Mr. Beveridge to William Holton Bye, of Indianapolis, was made public setting forth Mr. Beveridge's attitude In the present political crisis. The letter marks his withdrawal from the Re publican party and will be utilised by leaders in the third party as a bill of progressive principles. Boss System Attacked. "The present crisis requires that all progressives of all parties shall act together throuffh an organization of their own with a plainly stated pro gressive programme and at open war with the evil partisan boss system. Ultimately and soon this will force all genuine reactionaries to act in the same way through a separate organ isation of their own with a plainly stated reactionary programme. Thus, all of us who, as a matter of convic tion, believe in progressive principles, can act together and the boss system will be unnecessary to either. "Only a truly National, non-sectional party which will permit Americans of all sections who believe in the same things to act and vote together will dissolve this wicked and dangerous sec tionalism and thus unite the aXtion In very truth. This great end alone is worth the utmost effort of every patri otic man and woman in the whole Re public" Many Apply for Seals. Senator Dixon said tonight the com mittee in charge of convention arrange ments had received more than 1000 ap? plications for seats from states otter than Iltlnols. "Telegrams have been received. he specified, "from progressive leaders in California. Colorado, Alabama. Tennes. see. Minnesota. Virginia and Washing ton, asking that headquarters be es tbllshed for delegates and guests." According to tentative plans, the pro visional committee in charge of thf. convention will make up the temporary roll of the convention and hear any contests which may arise. During the day at state headquarters it was announced that the Rev. Will" lam C. Covert, pastor of the Fifty-first street Presbyterian Church and a Re publican elector from the First Illinois District, had resigned his place as elec tor to join the Progressive party. 11 was said he was the third Illinois Re publican elector to withdraw. PUBLICITY WORK PLANNED Clubs W1U Meet Together to Arrange to Boost Tillamook. TILLAMOOK. Or.. July !5. (Spe rial.)

At a luncheon of the Democratic Club today the candidacy of Ernest Lister for Gov ernor was announced. He was elected to the City Council of- Tacoma In 1S94. In 1S97 he was appointed by Governor John B. Rogers as commissioner of public institutions and member of the state board of control, of which he made chairman, holding that posi tion until 1903, when he returned to NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE PARTY DELEGATES WHO ASSISTED YESTERDAY TO GIVE BIRTH TO SEW PARTY Tacoma and engaged In the general contracting business.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE TALKED Campaign Workers Hear Address by Colonel Robert A. Miller. Members of the state central cam paign committee, at their regular week ly meeting yesterday at headquarters in the Selling building, heard an ad dress from Colonel Robert A. Miller on the best way to cover the state for the benefit of suffrage. The Stenogra phers Association was represented for the first time since Its recent incep tion by Mrs. E. O. Gardiner, president of the organization. Colonel Miller, In his speech, made reference to the power of the press, which he declared the best means of reaching everybody. He referred to the value ot such speeches as those of John Mitchell. The good accomplished by the Chau tauqua for the cause of suffrage was another point mentioned by the speak er, who referred to the number of lec turers of world-wide renown who had mentioned, some of them incidentally, that they approved of equal franchise. Colonel Miller differed from some in his opinion that it was good to have as many organizations dealing with the question as possible, for thereby, he contended, every class of men and women was reached, many of them would not be obtained by one associ ation. Coiner's Appointment Opposed. SPOKANE, July 25. At aV meeting of the Spokane County Progressive League held today a telegram was sent to Senator Poindexter assuring him of the .opposition of the league to the confirmation of the appointment of Beverly W. Coiner as United States District Attorney for the Western Dis trict of Washington, and requesting Senator Poindexter to continue his fight against the confirmation. Cathlamct Lays Sewers. CATHLAMET. Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Construction work on the new sewer has begun. The line extends 300 feet on Main street and west to River street along which it passes to tidewater on Birnle Creek. It em braces an unsanitary district. BULL MOOSE PROMIN"ENT among the delegates was H. L. Berkley, for years active In the politics of Marlon County, where, by reason of his resemblance to Bryan and ability as a public speaker he was known as the "silver-tongued orator of the House." At the time; Mr. Barkley was a member of the House of Rep resentatives. He was a firm advocate of free silver in the memorable cam paign of 1896. WK. NEWELL, who attended the convention, did not take an active part in Its work. Mr. Newell twice represented Washington County In the Oregon Legislature, being a member of the House of Representa tives. He' Is president of the State Board of Horticulture ami served as chairman of the Joint committee re cently appointed by Governor West and through which an initiative bill was drafted for the permanent support of the University of Oregon and the Ore gon Agricultural College on a mlllage basis. , AN able speaker and an experienced parliamentarian, George F. Rodgers, ex-Mayor of Salem, made a competent presiding officer. Mr. Rodgers at one time represented Marion County in the Oregon House of Representatives. He has been mentioned a number of times as desirable material for Congress from the First district HD. WAGXON, A. D. Cridge and C. L. Daggett were among the Demo, crats who "looked on" at yesterday's Bull Moose convention. THE remarks by Bruce Dennis, ex chairman ot the Republican State Central Committee at the morning ses sion, comprised one of the most vigorous addresses of the day. His an nouncement that he would not leave the Republican party did not meet with much of a demonstration among the delegates who were for Roosevelt and the third party. Mr. Dennis was gen erously applauded, however, when he said that he was a progressive and for IN SESSION IN EAST SIDE BRANCH LIBRARY. WALLOWA LAND MAGNATE ADDS IS 00 ACRES TO HOLDINGS. Peter Baudan Buys Old Makln Farm for $27,000 and Now Claims Title to 12,000 Acres. ENTERPRISE, Or.. July 25. (Spe cial.) Peter Baudan. the largest land owner In Wallowa County, outside of the timber companies, has just added 1360 acres to his holdings. This gives him about 12,000 acres in the county. A considerable part of this great total Is under cultivation, but the major portion is used as pasture land for Baudan's large herds of sheep. The latest additions to Baudan's holdings are in two lots. One, of 720 acres, consists of the old Elza Makin farm on lower Prairie Creek. The other is made up of a series of state land tracts in the. eastern part of the county, aggregating 640 acres. The Makin place was sold by J. AI French, who bought It a year ago. Baudan paid $27,000, or $37.50 an acre. About 450 acres are under irrigation and are put Into alfalfa and grain. The remainder is hill land for pasture, al though much of It can be cultivated. Mr. French bought the farm at a price a shade below the price at which it is now sold. For years one of the best-known shearing plants in the county was maintained on the farm. It was crowded out this year by the encroach ments of homesteaders and farmers. who reduced the sheep range and forced the stock farther back from the towns. F. A. Wagner and O. M. Cor kins negotiated the sain. The state tracts now passing to Bau dan consist of several parcels of in demnity school lands. Certificates were issued by the state to Edward Moxley, George F. Logan and D. G. Tucker, who assigned to Baudan. xne price for these lands is $7.50 an acre. Two parcels are located on Little Sheep Creek and one between Bear and Big Sheep Creeks. They are from 14 to 20 miles east of Enterprise. Supreme Court Sets Cases. SALEM, Or July 25.

H. W. COE. C. W. Ackerson and D. D. Hail, three of the ten dele gates from Oregon to the Republican National convention at Chicago, at tended the sessions of the convention. THE only Republican nominee for a state office attending the conven tion was J. D. Mickle, of Washington County, candidate for State Dairy and Food Commissioner.

W. Mulkey, Oliver M. Hickey, Harry Yanckwich, E. B. Col well, Frank E. Watkins, Ben Reisland and J. T. Wilson. Among "others present" from this county were: Fer dinand E. Reed, D. L. Povey, V. Vin cent Jones, Lute C. Pease and Dan Powers. jCTiHH name 'bull moose," which has I been applied to Mr. Roosevelt, sounds good to me," said L. M. Lepper, secretary of the Roosevelt Club. "I came from the states, up north where the moose used to be found In all his native grandeur. The bull moose fights the battles for his fellows. He separates himself from the herd when there Is trouble around and there is no greater scrapper than he- when there Is oc casion for self-defense or defense of his followers. Bull Moose as applied to Teddy suits mn." THE convention hall resembled an Italian dress parade, red bandanas being in evidence on all sides. A sup ply had been secured for the occasion and besides decorating the necks of the delegates, formed an important part of the decorations of the meeting place. THE La Grande Roosevelt supporters arrived Wednesday night and held a sort of love feast at the Imperial Hotel..

All expressed the opinion that RoQsevelt will show more strength in Union County at the general election than he did at the primaries. . . v DJ. COOPER, of The Dalles, was loaded with Roosevelt bull moose enthusiasm. '"In our part of the state," he said," "the Republicans and others want to see the wishes of the people carried out. We showed what we wanted at the primaries and we will be on hand with a return engagement when ,the general election curtain rises." T" HERB was a tlme whe11 1 1nrea JL the Republican party better than my own soul, almost," said Levi W. Myers, an Abolitionist of 1846. who not only assisted to form the Republican party In Illinois but claims to have voted the Republican ticket two years before Lincoln. "Today, however, the Republican party Is not like the 'old dog,' in the sense that you can't teach it any new tricks. It knows them all." T" HEY may form all the third A parties they wish," said E. B. Colwell, ex-United States Marshal for Oregon, who attended the sessions of the convention, "but I refuse to leave the Republican party. I shall support Roosevelt for President, all right, Irom the fact that I always have been a Roosevelt man. But In voting for him I do not intend to abandon the Republi can party." Uf UESS I'm in the right church vl but the wrong pew," explained D. D. Hail, of Mosier, during a recess in the afternoon session. "But I am still a Republican and cannot affiliate with the proposed new party." CD. TEEL, of Umatilla, addressing the convention, admitted he was a man without a party and said that If he became identified with the new party it would. depend entirely on the platform adopted. Mr. Teel said he had not participated in the primaries of any of the existing parties for 12 years, j PLATFORM DEFINES NEW PARTY HOPES Oregon Progressives .Assail Chicago Tactics Cry Is for Roosevelt. TARIFF CAUSES DEBATE Protection Only to Home Industry Is Idea Work of Commission Is Indorsed leaders Say Word "Can't" Must Cease. Repudiating the acts of the Repub lican National convention at Chicago and charging that through fraudulent methods the fair expression of the people in the choice of a nominee for the Presidency was defeated, the plat form adopted by the National Pro gressive party yesterday in its pro amble specifically pledges its delegates "to use every honorable means to se cure the nomination" of Roosevelt at Chicago August 6. The platform indorses the Oregon sys tem, direct nomination and election of President and Vice-President, develop ment of Alaskan coalfields by the Government, universal parcels post, extension of the postal savings bank system. Government to own and oper ate an express and telegraph service, regulation of tariff by a permanent tariff commission, woman suffrage, en largement of the powers of the Inter state Commerce Comm,ission and Fed eral regulation of trusts. Tariff CaaKfii Debate. Adoption of the platform was pre ceded by a lively debate between L. H. McMahon, of Marion, and George W. Joseph, of Multnomah, chairman of the committee. Mr. McMahon pointed out that the plank relating to the cre ation of a tariff commission "to Inves tigate and regulate the tariff" went too far and contemplated delegating to a special body an authority conferred on Congress and for that reason was un constitutional. Mr. Joseph maintained that the mere question of the constitutionality of the proposal was not sufficient to warrant its rejection by the convention. "For that matter," he said, "if It be comes necessary we will amend the Federal Constitution." "I am objecting to the creation of a permanent tariff commission because It amounts to removing the tariff Issue and Its settlement farther from the people," answered Mr. McMahon. "You propose to delegate power that cannot be delegated. Besides, it Is in contra vention of the initiative and referen dum. The amending of the United States Constitution also Is a decidedly slow and tedious procedure." Dr. H. W. Coe and Mr. Joseph asked Mr. McMahon how he would regulate the tariff. "Oh, you cant regulate it," he re plied. Party Not to Say Can't. "That's just the trouble,"., followed Mr. Joseph. "We have been saying 'can't' too long. We progressives pro pose to do something. We would make It as easy comparatively to amend the Federal Constitution asIt Is today to amend the constitution of this state. Accomplishment of anything for the public good is not impossible with the National Progressive party. The mere question of the constitutionality of the plank referred to should not avail any thing so long as it concerns the public welfare so vitally as it does." Mr. McMahon closed the debate by saying that he was not making a polit ical address, but insisted that the con troversy was one of expediency. He Insisted on his motion to strike from the platform the words "and regulate" as they were used to prescribe the function of the tariff commission. He explained that he was willing for the tariff commission to be created and for it to investigate the tariff subject ex haustively, but he renewed his consti tutional objection that legislation look ing to the regulation of the tariff be longed to Congress, and to Congress alone. A vote was taken on the Mc Mahon resolution, but It was decisively defeated. Country Life Work Snnnaed H. I Irwin, of Jackson, offered an additional plank extolling the honesty and integrity of Roosevelt and declar ing that honesty as exemplified by Roosevelt Is "one of the main issues of the people." It was unanimously adopted. The convention turned down another plank, offered by Thomas Withycombe, of Washington County, indorsing Roosevelt's Country Life Commission. After refusing to accede to the re quest of Harry Yanckwich, of Multno mah, who asked that final adoption of the platform be deferred until the night mass meeting, the convention adopted the platform unanimously. The platform was drafted by a com mittee consisting of George W. Joseph, Multnomah, chairman; W. K. Newell, Washington; W. D. East, Marion; M. Telford, Clackamas; L. W. Wells, Doug las; -John Robson, Linn; D. J. Cooper, Wasco; T. J. Cherrlngton, Polk, and S. W. Phillips, Josephine. It follows: Whereas, the persona In control of the national convention recently neid at cni esso prevented by fraudulent methods the fair expression of the people of the United States as their choice of a nominee for the great office of President of the United States, end Whereas, xcm helfeve that the nemetuatloii of our Republic rests upon the free and fair exercise 01 tne elective irancnise, ana Popular Will Defeated. Whereas, we believe that the fraud com mitted asainst the people at the Chicago convention was a direct blow at popular government ana expressly as to the system now enjoyed in the State of Oregon, and was an attempt to control the political or ganization of the Nation In the Interest of the few and to the detriment of the many, and that by reason of such fraud the action taken by such convention has created no obligation on behalf of the voters to sup port the nominees thereof, and Whereas, we deem it just to our people that the fraud of such convention be an nulled, and that they be given an oppor tunity of selecting a nominee for the office of president of the United States, and fur ther that we make known our political prin ciples; Now, therefore. Be It Resolved as follows: That we hereby repudiate the acts of the Katlonal convention held at Chicago on the 18th day of June, 1012; That the proper procedure be taken in the State of Oregon to allow the citizens thereof to choose a nominee for the office of Presi dent of the United States to be elected at the following November election, and for this purpose that this mass, meeting elect five delegates, and five alternate delegates, to attend the National convention to be held at Chicago on the fifth day of August, 1UJ2, and also nominate for election five persons, each qualified for the office of Presidential Elector, who shall become can didates tor such office at the next election thereof; Roosevelt I Wanted. That the delegates to the National con vention to be elected by this mass meeting be and they are hereby pledged to use every honorable means to secure the nomination of Honorable Theodore Roosevelt for the office of President of the United States; That the Oregon system of elections and legislation, including the initiative, the referendum and the recall, be adopted in National elections and legislation; That the President and Vice-President of the United States be nominated and elected by direct vote of the people; That the recall will curb official dishon esty which heretofore has honeycombed Governmental administration, itimkeiik im nrRcticnI tho exercise by the Nation of any but Governmental functions, and will make it not only practicable dui aesiranie tor me Nation to own and operate the properties of certain public service corporations to which, the people are paying an unjust tax, and J the Iniquities of which corporations cannot be successfully corrected or prohibited; That our natural resources which produce public necessities should be so conserved at to prevent individual exploitation thereof to the great loss of the public, and that to this end. where practical, the Government undertake the development of such natural resources, and especially do we recommend the experiment by the Government of de veloping the vast coal fields of Alaska that the public may be furnished coal at the least cost and without tribute to any individual or private corporation; That, the Government should establish a universal parcels post, extend the postal savings bank system, and own and operate express and telegraph services; Protective Tariff Wanted. That no tariff should be laid on any ar ticle which can be manufactured at home and sold at a reasonable profit in competi tion -with foreign mate, and any tariff on uoh should be forthwith removed, but none of our Industries should be destroyed by re moval of the tariff, and the tariff, If any is necessary to permit the existence ot our factories, should be regulated so as to pre vent our manufacturers from realising more than a reasonable profit from sale of tlisir wares, thus preserving all the benefits of our industries and preventing the exaction of exorbitant prices for tariff protected ar ticles; That women should have the same right as men to exercise the right to vote at nil elections; That the powers of the Interstate Com merce Commission be enlarged ; That a permanent tariff commission be created, with power to investigate and reg ulate the tariff; That by and through the trusts, the pred atory rich have debauched our National elec-. tions. and have alienated and estranged the love and respect or the people for the in stitutions of our Government, and we rec ommend Federal regulation of all corpora tions, whereby the trusts shall be compelled to deal justly with the people; That we 'recognize the honesty and Integ rity of Theodore Roosevelt in his political career and that we adopt his example and recognize honesty as exemplified by him as one of the main Issues before the people. The enumeration of the foregoing prin ciples shall not be considered as excluding any others for the public welfare. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND.
