Hcpabican Leaders Object to Elec
tion of Frofessed Party Convert.
PORTLAND, May 11. The Repub
licans of Oregon are entitled to have a
Republican committeeman from this
etate, C. W. Ackerson, who claims to
be a Republican, ia a candidate. He
registered as a Progressive January 8,
1914. Then signed petition of H. W,
Coe to be Progressive National, com
mitteeman. Then cancelled his regis
tration as a Progressive and registered
as & Republican and immediately filed
his candidacy for membership on Re
publican National committee. Has been
an intimate and convenient understudy
of the Progressive National committee
man and seems now to be in combina
tion with him in an attempt to shang
hai the Republican organization. Hi
candidacy is being actively backed "by
parties hostile to the Republican party
" and having personal Interests and pri
vate personal grudges to serve. i
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood the columns
of the press with violent attacks upon
the Republican party and vicious per
sonal abuse of prominent Republican
and life-long residents of the state.
It is a grave abuse for parties who
are not Republican to register as such.
It is a graver abuse for outsiders t
attempt the capture of a political party
to gratify a personal grudge and to
promote party discord. It is an abus
against which fair-minded men of all
parties will rise in protest. We can
never have a reunited party by pushin
to the front political hotheads and men
who are political reformers simply fo
the sake of office. Having been
Republican only 24 hours when he an
nounced his candidacy ' for the highes
honorary position in the gift of the
party, is some indication of what M
Ackerson's motive was in registering
as a Republican. As Hon. Ralph E.
Williams is the only Republican who
Is a candidate for Republican National
committeeman, we feel warranted in
urging all loyal Republicans in the
etate to give him their earnest and en
thusiastic support.

Clifton N. McArthur, who made such
an excellent record as Speaker of the
House at the last Legislative session,
is & candidate for Congress in the Third
District, with a good chance of beinar
the next Congressional representative
from Portland. He is a stanch Repub
lican, talented, and has given full dem
onstration of being a mau of his word
and faithful to the letter to the peo
ples interests. Added to ins many en
viable qualifications is his well-known
common sense. His platform should ap
peal to every voter of Portland, and
the large majority should unhesitat
ingly arive him their support, for Ore
gon needs a man of his caliber and im
pressions in Congress. WOODBURM
INDEPENDENT.
Those who have been closely asso
ciated with Mr. McArthur know him to
be a man absolutely fair and square in
all his dealings, political or otherwise.
The fact that he has filled the chair of
Speaker of the Oregon Legislature for
two terms and come out stronger and
more highly respected each time. Is
proof that he 1b & man whom the peo
ple can trust in the conduct of tlittr
business. If more men of this class
were elected to office there would be a
higher respect for our public officials.
KLAMATH FALLS HERALD.
While McArthur is a young man, he
is recognized as one ot the ablest men

Pierce County Democrats are plan
nine: an bid-fashioned county conven
tion to chose candidates for all county
officers for the November elections,
The Democrats say that, to be strong
contenders in the county light and
oust the "Bull Moose," who now hold
all but one office, they must have par
ticularly good candidates, and they be
lieve the only way to get them is by a
convention. A point is made or th
weakness of some "Bull Moose" offi
cials elected in 1912 as proof of a fault
in the primary system.
Ashton Dovell. president of the
Pierce County branch of the State
Democratic League and a candidate
for Congress, said today of the con
vention plan: .
"It is more than likely the Demo
crats of the county will have an old-
fashidned county convention to indorse
candidates of the party. Of course we
will abide by the law in every way and
the regular primaries will be held, but
the county convention will precede
them. The outcome of this year's
county election seems to be more in
doubt than usual. The Democrats be
lieve they have a good chance. For
this reason they want to get the best
candidates possible, and the only way
to do this is by a convention of the
old-fashioned kind. This has been
proved decisively by recent develop
ments."
