. "It is time to put a stop to this sort
of chicanery. I will not allow myself

port any such man for public, office. If
the commitee refuses to adopt this res
olutlqn It can have toy ; resignation
rlaht here and now." - ,
Martin Svarverud, of Lane. Indorsed
the view of Mr. McMahon and said
' the attitude of Kellaher ' Injuring
the cause' of the Progressive party in
his county.
Secretary' T-epper came to the de
fense of Kellaher by explaining that
the Multnomah County man received
the nomination on the Republican tk-ket
without his eonscnt. The speaker said
Kellaher was net a candidate for the
office and received the nomination by
reason of the fact that th voters
wrote his name, on the ballot.
Coe looks to Rlt
"I believe Mr. Kellaher wants to be
fair." pleaded Dr. Coe, tn an effort to
arrest the debate, "and at the proper
time undoubtedly will be found on the
Progressive ticket where we want him.
But we do not want him to remain on
both tickets, for that course surely
would result In his defeat. The result
'would be that although. Roosevelt
might carry the state, he would ljftve
only four of the five electoral votes
from Oregon, and Taft would receive
tlio fifth."
. Without further debate the McMahon
. resolution was put to a vote and adopt,
ed without a dissenting votce. The text
of the resolution was:
"Resolved, by the Htate Central Com
mittee of the Progressive party, that
it Is the sense of this committee that
Dan Kellaher should resign as can
didate for Presidential elector on the
Republican ticket."
Kellaher Not Prewnt.
"I was unavoidably detained by
business and could not attend the after
. noon session of the committee." said
Mr. Kellaher last night. "At this time
. I have nothing to say as to what my
probable course will be. I shall take
the resolution under advisement."
With only one committeeman. H. 1
Irwin, pf Jackson., contending unquali
fiedly for a third ticket In every county
in the state, the committee tabled his
resolution declaring- for full Bull Moose
tteketb in this state. The original res
olution called for a candidate for every
office to be elected.- hut the opposition
to the resolution in that form was so
pronounced that the author amended
it so as to provide for the nomination of
Progressive candidates for only United
States Senator. Representatives In Con
gress and the State Legislature.
The amended resolution" vigorously
was assailed by Bruce Dennis, of Union,
whose motion to table carried, with C.
T. McDaniel. of Wallowa, alone voting
negatively.
Donfflaa Opposes.
P. Huntington, of . Douglas, was the
first to oppose the resolution. He In
sisted that the matter of a third ticket
was a question that should be left to
a decision of the menvbers of the new
party In each county. Committeeman
Svarverud. of Lane, agreed with Mr.
Huntington. aylng that nothing should
be done that would "antagonise the
candidates already nominated, for the
reason that a number of them were in
sympathy with the Progressive party
movement and would support Roose
velt. But if we bring out candidates in
opposition to these men. we can only
expect that they will oppose the third
party ticket right down the line."
"Local conditions should govern the
situation as to a third ticket." argued
V. J. Tooze. of Clackamas, who admit
ted that he would not be oppesed to
naming Progressives for legislative and
ConareFston2l offices. D. C. .Brownell,
of Umatilla, and W. B. Jones, or Lnne.
added their protest to the third ticket
plan.
Dr. Coe explained that the third
ticket problem In this county had been
referred for final determination n a
special committee and he advised the
bame course in the other counties.

to amend the resolution so as to,include
an indorsement of the nomination of
Progressive candidates for only Con
gressional and legislative offices.
"I would not lo anything that in
any way would interfere with the
election of Roosevelt." said Mr. Irwin
i.i submitting his revised resolution,
"believing that at best he is confronted
with a terrific, fight if he is to be
elected. But we should build a com
plete foundation for the new party now.
I appreciate the fact that in many
counties there are good men on the
Republican ticket for whom Bull Moose
electors can vote conscientiously.
Fall Ticket Vested.
"But, a a new party, we, should
have sufficient backbone, regardless of
the result, to have a full ticket in all
of the counties. It would mean a gain
for us four years hence if not at the
present time. It Is generally agreed. I
think, that we will have full tickets
in the field four years from this elec
tion. "Why not now? Progressives are
straddling the issue when they refuse
to do so.
"J am satisfied that the nomination
of countv tickets by the Progressives
In this' campaign would not make a
difference of one vote inHhe total vote
P.ooeeveJt would receive. Progressives
are going to vote for Roosevelt anyr
way, regardless of whether the party
has a full ticket in the field." -

sives in Illinois, who nominated Funk
for Governor in opposition to Deneen,
and said that if ftoosevelt failed to
carry that -state in the November elec
tion it would be due entirly to the
nomination of a Progressive for Gov
ernor as well as for other offices. The
nomination of Funk, said Mr. Dennis,
served to force Deneen and his friends
with determination to oppose Roose
velt In a professed friendly spirit. Mr.
rtonnis moved that the resolution be
tabled and t!)at disposition was made.
Counties to Decide.
On motion of T. A. -Logsdon. of Ben
ton, the committee voted , to leave to
each county a decision as to whether
candidates frvn the Progressive party
should be nominated for the various
county offices,., . -
The committee adopted a resolution
bv Mr. McMahon, of Marion, urging
Roosevelt, on the occasion of his "Port
land visit, September 11. to visit Salem,
if possible, and make an address in that
city.
Mr. McMahon assured the committee
that the Progressives of Salem -would
defrav the expense of a special train for
the accommodation of the ex-President
if he would consent to make thfi ap
pointment. He also guaranteed thai
an audience of between 15,000 and 20.
000 would greet Roosevelt in Salem, and
that his address could be depended
upon to win between 2600 and 3000
votes for the Progressive ticket in the
November election.
Campaign Knnd Raised.
On suggestion of Mr. McMahon about
$150 was raised for campaign purposes
in subscriptions of ?5 each from the
members of the committee. Originally.
Mr. McMahon suggested a subscription
of 20 each, but there was r.o response
to his appeal. When the limit had been
reduced to 15 numerous checkbooks
were produced and the committeemen
very gencrallv responded to the appeal.
Having decided that a larger com
mittee would prove unwieldy, .the or
ganization adopted a resolution author
izing the appointment by Chairman
Brown of a committee of five as an
executive or advisory committee to
work in conjunction with the officers
of the state committee. Mr. Brown said
he probably would announce the mem
bers of the committee today. -
The election of permanent chairman
occupied the morning session, and -was
attended by more or less heated debate.
MrMahon. of Marlon, nominated George
Arthur Brown, while Dr. Levi W. Myers,
of Multnomah, was nominated by O. W.
Eastham. of Clackamas. These nomi
nations started the flow of oratory. The
principal objection urged to Brown was
the fact that he was not a member of
the state central committee. -Opponents
of Myers urged that he was not "physi-
STsii
t - flfsr erf v.'5: L , , th 5
cally capable" of coping with tne
'strenuous sixuauun muiiwiuni
new party.
When the discussion began to get
warm. C. T.' McDaniel, of Wallowa,
supported. by Mr. Dennis, of Union, pre
sented the "name of A.- V. Swift, of
Baker, as a compromise, but the East
ern Oregon farmer "was not acceptable
to the committeemen, who insisted that
the state chairman should be a Port
land man. Each county was allowed
one 'Vote, and the election of Brown
as -the head of the committee f&llowed,
the vote being: Brown. 11 V4; Swift. 5;

MAY ' AND WOMAN JAILED
Grand Jury Is Making Investigation
of Man's Operations.
In tire act of alighting from a taxi
cab at the North Bank station, Charles
May, a notorious North Endcharacter.
and Madge Cahill were arrested by
Patrolman Long and are being held
under ball of $2000 each, fixed by the
grand jury. The charges against May
were taken up by that body yester
day and It is believed that an indict
ment has been returned.
May virtually is accused of seeking
to set. up a small vice monopoly for
himself and it is alleged that he has
used intimidation to compel one or
more women of the underworld to obey
his commands. Some of the alleged
victims were before the grand Jury
yesterday.
Long was watching for a chance to
arrest May, when he saw him and
the woman enter a taxicab and turn
toward the railroad station. The officer
ran as fast as he could to the police
station and ordered out the police auto
mobile, which reached the station Just
as the pair was alighting."
Mav has been manager of the Wel
come saloon on Flanders street, one of
the worst dives in the city, running as
a combination house with women up
stairs. It has been the scene of many
alleged robberies reported to the police
and has narrowly escaped extinction

Police Captain Moore has J275 of
someone's money, - and can't find the
owner. Anyone who wishes to con
fess, to being drunk and falling into a.
hedge at 085 Front street will have an
opportunity to prove his statements
and take away the coin.
J. W." Crocker, a conductor on the
Southern Pacific-Railroad, lives at the
house mentioned. Late Monday night
he saw 'a drunken man reel into his
hedge and fall, and at the same time
there came a clinking sound from the
same place. Crocker took out a light
and found the money lying underneath
the hedge. He pursued the bibulous
citizen to his home and orrerea the
money in full confidence that it would
be claimed.
Both the man and his wife said that
was more money than ever tney nao
possessed, and exhibited a rew ooiiars
which they said was all their wealth.
Crocker did not wish to retain tne
money so he turned it over to the
nollce. He thinks that It may nave
been stolen .and deposited where found
until a favorable time came for re
moving it.
