XHE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, J MOOSE LET BOURNE Hi 1LKEY DOWN A. E. Clark, Portland "Dark Horse," Is Named Sena- toria! Candidate.

Continued From First Page.) the nominees of the Roosevelt Progres slve party. Burke declared that such could be done should the nominee come out and declare himself as a Roosevelt Progressive before he qualifies. In a long speech, aimed at the plan to put a state ticket in the field. Sen ator Joseph, of Multnomah, attacked Thomas McCusker, delegate at the Na tional convention In Chicago, declared that some of the people's agents at Chicago violated the trust placed In them and that "a dastardly conspiracy existed among certain of the delegates to betray the people. But some of the candidates have not attempted to de ceive the people, and placing a state ticket in the field would be unfair to those Progressives who have not de celved us and have been with us." Fusion Ticket Is Hit. I H. McMahan, In a speech which was an open attack on Jonathan Bourne, declared for Burke's resolution. "Burke's resolution says there will be no fusion," said McMahan. "If you vote that down you will vote In favor of fusion. If you are going to have a party of fusion count me out. There are some of you that don't want a state ticket for fear It will hurt some of the present candidates. But ancient good has become uncouth. A new party was born in Chicago, and the men of the old parties, like Jonathan Bourne and George Chamberlain, should not rule it. This party has come for the purpose of saving those little children who toll their lives out in the spindle mills of the South and of Lowell, Mass." J. E. Simmons, of Portland, formerly a perennial Congressional candidate on the Independent Democratic ticket, caused further bad blood in the con vention and recriminations when he at tempted to inject Into the meeting a long article on various kinds of cur rency in the United States. He was ordered to desist when ruled out of or der, and Attorney Tanckwlch, of Port land, made an effort to have the con vention form itself into an assembly of 100 electors, saying that it would be the only legal method to pursue. This resulted in cries and yells, accompanied by attempts to be heard from all over the Armory hall. George F. Rodgers, of Salem, objected to the course that the convention was pursuing. "Boobs" Ar Assailed. -"Let us be men," he declared. "Let us stop acting as children and give this convention some dignity." "Yes, let us act as men," shouted Stanfield McDonald, of Portland, "and not as a lot of 'boobs!' That is about where we are getting." After a few more chidings from va rious quarters the convention again ettled down, and the Tanckwlch propo sition was passed by. Fully determined on the placing of a state ticket In the field, the Burke amendment was carried by storm. The fight then waged around candidates for Presidential electors. From .all over the convention floor the demand was for the five electors who were nominated at the assembly in Portland. Some objection was made to Dan Kellaher and there was a feeble effort to require him to show his colors as to the nomination he received, on the Republican ticket. This met with no response. When a motion was made to name the five electors before nom inated and close the nominations, this again resulted in resounding cries of gagj rule," wnicn were tanon up Dy some in the gallery. After a long de bate these men were decided upon, as no further nominations were made. Kellaher "Frame Up" Alleged. Kellaher made a brief statement, but shed no light on what he plans to do ln reference to the Republican nem' lnation, further than calling attention to the fact that he had asked the Sec retary of State to place the words "Progressive, for Roosevelt." after his name on the ballot. Privately, Kellaher also refuse 1 to make a statement. Roosevelt Progres sive leaders today unfolded, however, what they say is the "frame up" in Kellaher's case. They say that his nomination in this convention was cut and dried, that he will not qualify until he can ascertain whether the Secre tary of State will place him on the ballot In the Roosevelt Progressive group, with the Republican nomination as well, and that If this is refused him he will resign as a Roosevelt Progres sive nominee and allow the state cen tral committee to fill the vacancy. He will still remain on the Republican ticket as an extra Bull Moose elector among the Taft electors. When this was put up to Kellaher he said he had no statement to make as to what course he will pursue. The big fight of the day, following the opening guns, as to whether to p:ace a state ticket in the field, de veloped over the nomination of a can didate for United States Senator, J morning the Roosevelt Progressives around the hotel lobbies had been grooming themselves for a fight be tween Bourne and Mulkey. and predic tions were freely made that Bourne would get away with the nomination handily. ' "Dark Horse" GaUops Away. But A. E. Clark, permanent chair man, was sprung as a dark horse and galloped away easily, although a care ful arrangement had been made to have him sweep the convention, if possible. Clark's nomination was made by J. Frank Burke. Levi 'W. Myers placed Mulkey in nomination and Senator Joseph placed Bourne in nomination. Then developed the adroit strategy that was exercised in manipulating the Burke amendment to the majority report on resolutions, requiring that each nominee of the party should be one affiliated with the Roosevelt Progressive party "by his own declarations." A strong fight on the strength of this was made against Bourne being placed In nomination at all. The fight was led by Burke. He declared that the nomination was di rectly contrary to the resolution passed earlier by the convention. This led to a debate that consumed nearly an hour In itself. McMahan again attacked Bourne, in seconding the nomination of Clark. He asserted that Bourne has never said he would support the Roosevelt Progres sive party, although he bad said he would vote for Roosevelt. McMahan called attention to Bourne's telegram to Ben Selling, after Bourne's defeat in the primary, when he stated he would support Selling. "Bourne ap pealed to the people of Oregon on bis record when he went Into tne pri maries and the people turned him down," continued McMahan. "Limit his speech." shouted some one, after McMahan had talked 15 minutes. "There is some more of your gag rule." retorted McMahan. "Do you think I don't know that the St Johns massmeeting at which Bourne was nominated was InsDlred bv the Post master of Portland, an .appointee of BourneT You cant limit my speecn enough to keep me from saying that." Bourne and Mulkey withdraw. Burke urged that Bourne's nomina tion be niled out on the ground that Bourne had not affiliated himself with the party, but expressed his willing ness to have a recess until Bourne could be communicated with to determine his attitude as to" the party. Clark quieted the discussion by urg ing the convention not to rule out the name of any candidate and that every candidate be given a full and complete opportunity. This was agreed to. A motion had been passed that a ma jority of all the votes cast would be i r i k. E. Clark, Nominated Roose velt ProRresslve for United States Senator. required to secure the nomination. There were 120 votes cast. Clark re ceived 61, Bourne 39 and Mulkey 30. Necessary to choice would be 81, and appearances indicated that another bal lot would be required. Just as prep arations were being made for further voting. J. T. Wilson, of Portland, with drew Mr. Mulkey's name on his re quest, and Senator Joseph followed with a withdrawal of the name of Senator Bourne, and the nomination of Clark was made unanimous. Around the question of selecting a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court and Secretary of State, the con vention fairly seethed. George Rod gers, of Salem, urged that no effort be made to fill these positions with nominees of the Roosevelt Progressive party. Dennis Attacks Olcott. Bruce Dennis, of La Grande, made a vitriolic attack on Ben W. Olcott, Re publican nominee for Secretary of State. "Why not nominate a Secretary of State?" was the interrogatory hurled at Rodgers by Dennis, "when Ben Ol cott will wire back to a Salem delegate at Chicago asking him to break the will of the people in selecting a National committeeman. You call Ben Olcott a Progressive. He doesn't know what Progressive means." When nominations were made for this office, Benjamin E. Kennedy, of Portland; L. M. Lepper, of Portland, and Lute Pease, of Portland, were all placed in nomination. Lepper withdrew and by a rising vote Kennedy defeated Pease, 39 to 37. Kennedy was formerly editor of the Baker Herald, at Baker, Or., but In recent years has been In Portland. For Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Henry E. McGinn, of Port land, and F. W. Mulkey, ot Portland, were nominated, but Mulkey withdrew and Senator Joseph said he was con fident McGinn would not run. At that someone placed Joseph in nomination and he was unanimously nominated. He stated that he will not qualify, however, and that the state central committee will be called upon to fill the vacancy. Portland Nominees Control. As nomination after nomination was made from Portland, strong objections were heard about the hall agalnBt cen tralizing all of the nominees in the metropolis. These objections were not listened to, however, save some criti cism' was directed at present conditions, which gives a Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer all from Salem. In the district convention held from the First Congressional District, John W. Campbell, of Roseburg, was named as a candidate to run against W. C. Hawley for Representative in Congress. Bert R. Greer, an Ashland editor, was nominated against him but- withdrew. Robert Service, of Baker, was unani mously nominated as candidate for State Railroad Commissioner from the Second District. . . It was decided to leave the selection of a Congressional candidate in the Third District to a convention to be called in Portland. s 123 Attend Convention. At the state convention today there were about 135 present. Great care was exercised in not allowing those outside of the fold on the floor of the convention hall, as evidently fears of a packed convention were in the hearts of some of the Bull Moose lead ers. In perfecting the permanent organ ization A. E. Clark, of Portland, was made chairman and L. M. Lepper, of Portland, secretary. The convention was called to order by George Arthur Brown, of Portland. Today there were 16 of the 34 coun ties In the state represented. A few being here from Eastern and Southern Oregon. The majority of the delegates were from .Multnomah County. The convention as a whole failed to show any strong signs of harmony. Scarcely a question arose but was strongly fought and indicated factional feeling p acrimonious debates. The nominations made will probably be cer tified to tne secretary of State at once, as September 20 is the last day for filing certificates or nomination. Republican Is NcjnnL - In selecting Mlckle as candidate for State Dairy and Food Commissioner the convention named the present Repub lican nominee. His nomination by the convention was made on the statements of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. of Portland, that Mlckle Is a strong Roosevelt man and supported him in the primaries. Mr. Clark stated, following the con vention, that he Intends to accept the nomination and make a strong cam Dai en for the United States Senator- ship. Mr. Clark is a Portland attorney and jumped Into tne limelight some time since, when he was supposedly mistaken for Governor West and was shot ot from behind a tree on the State Capitol grounds, as he was com ing from the State Library at an early hour in the morning. He was then en gaged as a special prosecutor In the case of Louis J. wuoe. Senator Joseph states he will not ac cept the nomination. .

PORTLAND HURT, IS BELIEF Attorney at Rotary Club Imncheon Declares "Ixmg-Halred Men and Short-Haired Women" Are to Blame for Injury. Characterizing; the vice crusade as a "false alarm," John F. Logan, Port land attorney, made a scathing arraign ment ot Its sponsors at the Rotary Tlub luncheon yesterday. He made no attack on the sincerity of Governor West, nor did he Include him In his denunciation, but he paid his scompll ments to the Municipal Association, the "long-hair men and the short-haired women, the sensational newspapers and impracticable reformers" for "besmirch ing the fair name of Portland." Declaring that ' Portland was not really bad, but simply suffering from the sins common to every fast-growing city, Mr. Logan spoke against those who, he said, had been making false accusations against the city. He said that they have done Portland more harm In the past month by proclaiming the existence of all manner of vices and grossly exaggerating conditions than the forces for good can accomplish in a year. Speaker Condemns Reformers, Applying the quotation, "good name In man and woman, dear my lord, is the immediate jewel of their souls," to communities, Mr. Logan pointed out the loss which he believed Portland has suffered as a result of the moral up heaval. "Portland's good name has been be smirched by the Intemperate accusa tions of Irresponsible and Impracti cable, reformers," said Mr. Logan. "The good name of a community is Just as valuable as the good name of man or woman. When the name of a city is libeled, tbe accusers should be called upon for the sources of their lnfoma tion and the ground for their belief. "Governor West came here ill-advised. Conditions were misrepresented to him. Color was given to the false statements by the refusal of the Dis trict Attorney to aid the Governor. The shortsightedness of Cameron necessi tated the appointment of special pros ecutors, which was damaging to the city. "Portland is not bad. It Is simply suffering from the sins of a fast-grow, ing city. Old timers stand aghast at these minor sins; they d not stop to realize that this city has no Bater proportion of them than other cities. -Where is open gambling going on? Where are the saloons open after hours? Where is prostitution -being flaunted before the people? "It is not right to say that the var ious agencies of law and order here the police, the Mayor, the City Council, the Juvenile Court, Federal authorities, special prosecutors should all be cor- rupl ana Detunti me scotce " ulcer. The trouble Is not with the au thorities, but lies in Intemperate ac cusations. "Just as well might President Taft come here and tell Marshal Scott and District Attorney McCourt that counter felting is going on here or that smug gling Is prevalent. These things pre vailed in Washington's day and will continue till Amageddon. "There has been much ado about nothing; the reformers have been shouting the existence of vices that do not exist. The vice crusade has re sulted in the arrest of a .saloonkeeper or two and the hounding of fallen wo men. This was all that came out of the accusations. The outside world Mas been led to believe that Portland Is a hotbed of vice. "If a cleaning up- Is needed, I be lieve in making one. The present one has proved such a farce, however, that when one really is needed, the people will shake their heads and recall this one. , ' Women Are Present. "The minor vices prevalent here are found In every city and they will be with us as long as the world goes round." For the first time, women were per mitted to attend the - Rotary Club luncheon here. Twenty-four women were present. When asked to voice their sentiments on equal suffrage, 12 voted for It, 11 against It and one was noncommittal. When asked to name their choice for President, 13 voted for Roosevelt, eight for Taft and four for Wilson. . Rotarlans welcomed home Frank C. Rlggs, president of the body, who re cently returned from the East. F. P. Young was chairman of the day. FUNERAL SET FOR FRIDAY Body of John W. Shattuck to Be In terred In Mount Scott. The funeral of John W. Shattuck, the Portland boy who lost his life re cently on a hunting trip In Alaska, will be held in Portland from the residence of his brother-in-law. Dr. Faulkner A. Short, 651 East Seventh street. Friday at 2 P. M. Interment will be made in Mount Scott Cemetery. It was Intended originally to conduct the funeral Thursday, but a message was received yesterday that the body would not reach Seattle until that day and that It would be relayed to Port land on Friday morning. The fraternity brothers of the dead boy, the members of the Phi Gamma Delta chapter at the University of Oregon, will serve as pallbearers. Many of his former college and school friends wlU attend the services. The Westminster Men's Society for Wom en's Rlghta of London publishes a weekl paper called the Eye-Opener. Among- other things, it deals with the present Inefficient state of tho law for the protection of women. a JOE SINGER IS OUSTED SCHOOL MEDICAL INSPECTOR SMITH ALSO DROPPED spectors, which they held during the last term of school. City Board of Health Takes Action "For Good of Servlce"--Dr J. G. Abele Is Retained, By unanimous vote of the City Board of Health, at a special meeting yester day, Joe Singer, additional market In spector, and Dr. W. E. Smith, a school medical Inspector, were removed "for the good of the service." 'In the place of Dr. Smith, Dr. J. L. Manlon was apV pointed. No appointment was made for Mr. Singer's position, the appoint ment having been left to Mayor Rush light and City Health Officer Wheeler, who will name a successor before the dismissal of additional Inspector Singer takes effect, October 1. Tho action .of the Board came as a surprise, as no Intimation had been made by members of the Board that either Mr. Singer or Dr. Smith were being considered for dismissal. No specific charges were, made against either of them, although It was In timated that Dr. Smith did not take the proper interest in his work and In spector Singer had been negligent. The dismissal of Mr. Singer was on motion of Dr. Alan W. Smith, who said that he considered the dismissal necessary for the good of the service. Mayor Rushlight, who appointed Mr. Singer, made no objection to. the removal. He said: "If Mr. Singer has not been do ing his work properly I have no objec tion to his being discharged. It is for the members of Jthe Board to deter mine whether he has been doing his work or not or whether there are any other objections to him." Health Officer Wheeler said in the case of School Inspector Smith that he had failed to make daily reports of his school Inspections and had not taken an interest In the work. His dismissal and the appointment of Dr. Manlon were by unanimous vote of the mem bers of the Board. The Board also considered the action of Dr. Wheeler in demanding the res ignation of Dr. J. G. Abele, a school Inspector, because of his failure to make daily reports of inspections. Dr. Wheeler recently wrote Dr. Abele a letter asking him to send in his res ignation by return mail, but Dr. Abele DA " roennnri RAvinfiT that ' he imuou t yj . w..,..--- . . could see no reason for such action. The failure of Dr. Abele to maxe re ports was the 1 only complaint Dr. Tiri , I a 4-a TirDHant tri the Board. and the Board accordingly did not up hold Dr. wneeier. Dr. Wheeler asked the Board to ex- .nl.lnn l tr the rltrht of the 1 CBS Obit VS""W" health officer to demand co-operation of the scnooi inspeciurs wim mo health department. The Board mem- w nn.nlmnns In tha nninfon that Dr. Wheeler should be authorized to demand any proper co-operauon irom the inspectors. Ts.. Tina,.i4 vrttort Tinanlmnnslv t n continue Dr. L. J.
