TTTE MORNING OKEGONIAN. TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1912. 4 DEMOCRATIC SPLIT LOOMS II! SIGH Missourian Wing Is Sensitive About Hearing Praise of Bryan Constantly. NEW CLUB MAY BE RESUL Dissatisfaction Among Tounger Members Over Sfonopoly Retained by Elders Young-McAllister Contention Excites Feeling. Trouble seems to be looming for th Jackson Club, if reports are true. Here, as elsewhere. Democrats from Missouri, fnrmerlv ardent followers of Bryan have cooled off considerably since the defeat of Clark In the Baltimore con w.tir,n f-nincldent with this report d disaffection in Democratic ranks, the rumor is current that tne rrogres Ktv Democratic Marching Club, re cently organized, may decide to shorten Its name by dropping the word "march ing" and become a rival of the pioneer Jackson Club as a meaiuui iur infr the political issues of the day and inspiring party loyalty. The complaint Js that ever since the ninni-riric National Convention, speak ers at the Jackfon Club meetings have devoted the bulk or tneir remarns 10 a ulogy of Bryan. This nas not sounaea well to the erstwhile supporters of Clark In the audience. The Clark Democrats insist that it would be Just as well, in the Interest 01 narmony, under the circumstances, to have a lit tle, more Wilson talk and less Bryan eulogy. Room for Non-Affiliated. Advocates of another club argue that It would provide a place for an ele ment of the Democracy here that has not actively affiliated with the Jackson Club in the last four years. Besides, it would give the younger members of the party a chance to deliver tnem selves of some of the surplus oratory they have been storing away ever since the anonymous report that this was a "Democratic year" gained circulation. It is the complaint of the younger members of the party, and it is witn them that talk of another club is found, that the speechmaking privil eges at the Jackson Club meetings are usually usurped by the older Bourbons to the exclusion of equally ardent, but younger, privates in the ranks. Although it has - no bearing on the plan to form another club, tne an nouncement of E. S. J. McAllister, who, until six weeks ago, seldom failed to attend the meetings of the Jackson Club, that he would be an independent candidate for Circuit Judge against Oglesby Toung, the regular Demo cratic nominee, has caused some dis satisfaction among Democrats in Multnomah County. Members of the Jackson Club are said to feel that Me Alllster is "butting in," to the serious injury of any chances the nominee of the party might have of being elected. McAllister Gave Early Notice. The friends of McAllister, on the nther hand, assert that he confided to Toung some time before Toung an nounced himself as a candidate, that he (McAllister)-would come out . for the Democratic nomination, and that Young simply double-crossed him. McAllister's friends again hold that Young has been a candidate for vari ous offices within the gift of his party In the last 20 years without winning an election, and for that reason should have been willing to keep out of the way this year. On the whole, the situation among the Democracy in this county. In some particulars, compares favorably with that of the Bull Moosers.
