REPUBLICANS TELL
CANDIDATE TO QUIT
C M. Hurlburt, Multnomah and
Clackamas Legislative As
pirant, Not Wanted.
PARTY ORDER NOT OBEYED
Man, Who Admits Trutli of Charges,
Says He Will Withdraw, but Takes
Own Time Story of Accused
Flabbergasts Committee.
Most of. them have accepted. The en
tire function will be under direct su-.
pervision of the women. A woman will
preside and many women will speak.
Tickets are now being sold at the com
mittee's headquarters at.350V4 Morri
son street, at the state headquarters In
the Imperial Hotel and at the county
headquarters in the Morgan building.
Colonel E. Hofer and Dr. Clarence
True Wilson have returned from East-
rn Oregon, where they engaged In a
series of debates on the "wet" and
'dry" question. Dr. Wilson supported
the "dry" side and Colonel Hofter the
wet." They spoke at several county
fairs and at a score of places where
they held street meetings. At Baker
they spoke before 6000 persons in tbe
grandstand while the races were in
progress.
They began their tour at St. Johns
and went to the eastern border of the
tate. The last place visited was Vale,
in Malheur County.
At several places Colonel Hofer made
his "wet" appeal so effectively tha,t the
heavens opened and the communities
were visited with rain, after expe
riencing several . weeks' drouth.
National Bank at Elgin, reports that
"politics is quiet here. The vote may
be light. ' Booth and Withycombe will
get a good vote. It looks encouraging
from this end."
Convinced that C. M. Hurlburt, Re
publican nominee for Joint Representa
tive from Multnomah and Clackamas
counties, cannot qualify If he is elect
ed, the Republican central committees
of those counties have demanded Hurl
burt's withdrawal from the ticket.
Hurlburt often has expressed an in
tention to comply, but thus far his for
mal withdrawal has not been forth
coming. The two committees have held fre
quent conferences and Hurlburt has
been called in repeatedly. Charges in
volving him in private and public mis
conduct have been laid before him. He
has virtually admitted the charges, but
be displays no apparent haste to quit.
The Republican organization has an
nounced that it, will not support Hurl
burt. If he withdraws & qualified Re
publican will be named to take his
place. If he does not withdraw the
committee may be forced to support a
candidate yet to be named running
independently.
Old Grocery Debt Filed.
The case against Hurlburt dates
back to the time the Republican county
committee was organized soon after
the primaries. Various reports of
Hurlburfs alleged shortcomings came
to members of the committee. - An in
vestigation followed.
Inquiries of the investigating com
tnittee revealed that virtually all the
accusations against Hurlburt were true,
The investigation came to a climax a
few weeks ago, when a grocery firm
filed suit against Hurlburt to collect
1101.30 alleged due for groceries ob
tained three or four years ago. A spe
cial investigating committee, consist
ing of Dan Powers and O. A. Keal, then
was named to Interview Hurlburt. He
denied knowledge of the grocery debt.
but admitted other Irregular business
practices.
The special committee learned that
at the time Hurlburt came here, about
four years aeo. he borrowed S20 from
Ashley & Rumefln, bankers, under the
assumed name J. Booth. Hurlburt ex
plained that in California he knew t
man of that name who had letters rec-
ommendlng him to the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company as a
streetcar conductor. Hurlburt ob
tained these letters and got the job on
the strength of them, he told the com
mittee. Needing money with which to
buy a uniform he borrowed . $20 under
the assumed name.
A few years ago charges were filed
against him in Circuit Court !n connec
tlon with a real estate transaction. He
is a real "estate dealer, with offices in
the Chamber of Commerce building.
Other serious charges of a more pri
vate nature were laid before the com
mittee. They were reported to the
county organization.
Remarkable Story Told.
Once more Hurlburt was confronted
with the complaints. Finally, last Sat
urday night, he was called before a
meeting of the Joint Multnomah-Clack
amas committee. Hurlburt told a re
markable story a story that will pre-
. vent him from taking his seat in the
Legislature even if he is elected.
"The only reason I wanted to go to
the Legislature." he said, "is because
of a pro mise made to a friend of mine
from Wasco County. This friend had
worked for the state and through an
accident had lpst an eye. . Now. I re
membered that at the last session of
the Legislature some fellow had been
paid SHuUO for the loss of a toe.
" 'If they pay J2500 for a toe, what
will they pay for an eye? I suggested
lo mm.
" 'They ought to pay at least $3000
ne answered.
"So we agreed that I should run for
the Legislature and that I should put
in a bill to obtain $3000 for this fel
low with the understanding that I was
xo get out of It enough money to pay
my campaign expenses."
Hurlburt told his story in a straight.
matter-of-fact way, as if relating an
wrainary Dusiness transaction.
Withdrawal Insisted TJpon.
Members, of the committee insisted
that Hurlburt get off the ticket. Hurl
burt asked the committee to wait until
Monday. They waited. Monday "ho
asitea ror a further extension of 48
nours.
Before the 48 hours expired Hurl-
ourt came to the committee with
proposition," as he called it.
The "proposition" was that Hurl
burt would withdraw providing the
committee would name Seneca Kouts to
succeed him on the ticket.
ine committee would not compro
mise. They insisted upon Hurlburfs un
qualified withdrawal. They still in
sist on it.
As a matter of fact, members of the
committee are not quite sure whether
it is within the power of the county
organizations to fill the vacancy even
if Hurlburt withdraws. As a legislator
is a state officer, it is possible that
the state committee has the sole power
to rill the place. Tbe Attorney-General
will be asked for a ruling.
The committee is determined not to
support Hurlburt. If he does not make
way for a qualified citizen, an inde-
Dendent candidate btLclced hv tVi
-publican organization will be brought
sonn.
" E. L. Amldon, secretary of the Re-
publican county committee, is dis
,-, tributing campaign material among all
- the precinct committeemen and women
in the county and is advising them to
continue their active efforts on behalf
of the entire ticket.
Committee members are advised to

SNOW FOR ARREST
Holland Banker, Deputy Prose:
cutqr and Special Agent
Named in $75,000 Suit.
ACCUSATION IS DECEPTION
The Union County Republican Club
is one of the most active political or
ganizations in the state. It is working
in direct connection with the County
Central Committee and. is playing an
important part in the campaign.
When Mr. Booth and Mr. Withy
combe visited La Grande a few days
ago the members of the new club
took an important part . in the recep
tion and entertainment that was ten
dered, them.
'I 'had a fine day at - Pendleton,"
writes Mr. Withycombe. to. E. D.
Baldwin,' secretary of the Republican
State Committee. "My day at La
Grande was a strenuous One, .but. I en
joyed It."
Mr. Withycombe has gone to Canyon
City and will visit other interior Ore
gon points before returning to Portland.
Arthur L Moulton, Progressive can
didate for Congress, denies the asser
tions recently maxle, that he is direct
ing his campaign principally against
A W. Lafferty, incumbent . and inde
pendent candidate, but says that it is
against C. N. McArthur, the Republi
can nominee.
Dr. Wilson and Cqlonel Hofer are
agreed that the contest between the
wets" and "drys" will be a close one.
"This precinct never was in better
condition from a Republican stand
point," is the report at state head
quarters from J. N. Hedden, of Scottsr
burg. Douglas County. There isnot a
Republican who does not intend to
vote the straight ticket.
Dwight Reed, Republican committee
man at Drain, writes: "I can say with
out exaggeration that things look good.
The entire Republican state ticket will
carry this district."
George A. Hall, one of the defeated
candidates for legislative nomination,
called at Republican headquarters in
the Morgan building yesterday and of
fered his services for campaign work.
He wants to see the full Republican
ticket elected, he says. He has been
appointed committeeman in Precinct
No. 125.
Republican voters of Columbia Coun
ty are confident of a "clean -sweep" in
their home county this Fall.
L. R. Rutherford advises that the
Republicans are stronger . there this
year than ever.
J. W. Allen, a banker, reports that
Mr. Booth and Mr. Withycombe, as
well as the rest of the ticket, will get
the full party vote. . .
M. E. Miller, editor of the St. Helens
Mist, looks for a heavy vote for the
state and county tickets.
O. O. Jetley, of Burns, Harney Coun
ty, predicts that Harney will go Re
publican, z to 1. He says that Mr.
Booth will carry the county, in spite
of the fact that it is the home of Wil
liam Hanley, Progressive candidate for
United States Senator.
Mr. Booth will return to Portland to
day from his Eastern Oregon trip. He
will be here a few days and will re
turn to the eastern part of the state
next week.
NAMELOYALTYDEPLORED
COLONEL SAYS CITIZEXS PLAY
INTO POLITICIANS' HANDS.
Talk of Progressives' Return to Either
of Old Parties Absurd. 1111
hoImiu Are Told.
GALESBURG, 111., Sept. 24. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt began a two days'
campaign in Illinois today in behalf of
Raymond Robins, Senatorial candidate
of the Progressive party of Illinois.
He deplored "blind adherence to names
rather than to principles." He said
that talk of Progressives' return to
either of the old parties was absurd.
"One of tbe most mischievous man
ifestations of this habit of ours is the
way in which the ordinary- citizen
tends to surrender his soul into the
keeping of unscrupulous and con
scienceless machine politicans on the
theory that thereby he is being 'loyal'
to party ties," asserted the speaker.
"Slavery to names," he continued, "is
often the most lamentably efficient ob
stacle in the way of fealty to ideals.
The machine politician himself usually
has not the smallest scruple concern
ing party regularity and has not a
sentiment of any kind in connection
with allegiance to his party. He trades
on the fact that his dupe, the good
average citizen, does possess this
scruple and feels this sentiment.
"In this state, for instance, Lorlmer.
ism has, been an almost non-partisan
and most certainly a bi-partisan phe
nomenon. The most prominent among
the machine supporters of Roger Sul
livan, now running for the Senate on
the Democratic ticket have been in the
past the very men who have been leg
islative and other combinations with
the Lorlmer wing of the Republican
party.'
"Our opponents ask you to be true
to the party of Abraham Lincoln. I
ask you to be true to the principles of
ADranam i-iincoin. '
Plaintiff Asserts He Was Inveigled
Into Turning Over Property Val
. lied at $45,0 00 and Promise
of Immunity Was Violated.
Charging that .he was deceived and
Was induced to turn over property to
the value of $45,000 to escape prosecu
tion and that after the transfer was
made he. was promptly arrested on a
forgery charge. Robert J. Snow, a Port
land contractor, yesterday brought suit
against the International Mortgage
Bank, of Apeldoorn, Holland; Portno
mah Land Company, C. Bakker, presi
dent of the Mortgage Bank; Frank T.
Collier and Frank Beatty for a. return
of the property or cash payment of
MS, 000, damages of $10,000 and addi
tional punitive damages of $25,000.
Robert J. Snow was arrested early
this month. together with. J. W.
Matthes, Vice-Consul for The Nether
lands at Portland, and W. J. Summers,
a local cqntractor, forgery being
charged against each in - connection
with alleged fraud in obtaining money

Matthes was the local agont
Cases With Grand Jury.
All were released on ball and have
not yet been brought to trial, although
their cases are now being considered
by the grand jury and it is expected
indictments against them will soon is
sue. It will be charged that a con
spiracy existed by which the bank was
defrauded of no less than $100,000 and
that in carrying out the alleged crime
forgery and other violations of the law
occurred.
C. Bakker. made a defendant In the
suit brought yesterday by Mr. Snow, is
president of the Mortgage Bank, who
came to Portland to aid in the prosecu
tion of his agent and his associates for
the alleged defalcation of funds of the
bank intrusted to him for the purpose
of making loans on mortgages on Ore
gon lands. Frank T. Collier is attor
ney for Mr. Bakker and Frank Beatty
is a special investigator who conducted
an extended inquiry into the situation
prior to the arrests.
Mr. Snow alleges in his suit that h
was tcld about September 1 by Messrs
Bakker, Collier and Beatty that they
were about to have Mr. Matthes arrest
ed for forgery, fraud and other offenses
and because of the plaintiff's dealings
with Mr. Matthes it was suggested he
would probably be called as a witness
and possibly arrested it they said so.
Immunity Promise Alleged.
It- was represented to him, alleges
Mr. Snow, that if he would turn over
his equity in various farm lands in
Clackamas and Douglas Counties and
in Klickitat County, Wash., together
with some city property, to the value
of $45,000, to the defendants, Mr. Mat
thes would not be prosecuted by them.
and should he be prosecuted by others.
they would see he would not go to jail.
It is stated Mr. Collier undertook and
promised to arrange this matter with
Governor West. It was also agreed, it
is set up, that Mr. Snow would not be
drawn Into the affair.
Mr. Snow sets forth it was also
agreed that he was to receive back his
equity In the property in question, and
further he was offered the position of
general manager of the Portnomah
Land Company, a dummy organization
he was told was being formed to act
as the Oregon agent for the Interna
tional Mortgage Bank of Apeldoorn.
It was also agreed, he says, that he
was to make a trip to Apeldoorn, Hol
land, to confer with the brother of Mr.
Matthes, and also with the directors
of the bank, the expenses of which
would be paid by the defendants.
Theft of Check Asserted.
It was promised, says Mr. Snow, that
Messrs. Bakker. Collier and Rat t v
would make these agreements in writ- J
ing later; meanwhile they gave their
solemn word as honest men and as an
evidence of good faith. It is declared.
Mr. Bakker made out a check to Mr.
Snow. It is further alleged that this
check was stolen from him by one of
the defendants.
Believing, he says, that the defend
ants would perform their promises to
him, Mr. Snow says he -transferred the
property as' requested, whereupon the
others declined to carry out their
agreements and iJs charged they ma
liciously procured the arrest of the
plaintiff on a forgery charge, doing all
in their power to blacken his character.
That his credit is ruined, his friends
alienated, his business standing gone.
Decause his resources consisted of the
property turned over to the defendants.
are charges made, and all are attrib
uted to the acts of the defendants, who
are said to have made their promises
with the sole intent to defraud, to
cheat and to deceive.
It is declared by those named in the
suit that the property turned over to
the Portnomah Land Company and the
International Mortgage Bank was that
upon which fraudulent loans had been
made by Mr. Matthes in collusion with
Mr. Snow, and that it was the bank's
money only that was returned. Prop
erty was also transferred by Mr.
Matthes to the bank prior to his arrest.
RECALLERS CHECK NAMES
Petition Against Three 'on Council

ELECTRIFICATION OF RAILROADS
' , "An Imperative "Need for the Selection of a System for Universal Use9
' (Said Mr. Geo. Westlnghouse in 1910.)
Railroads will only be "STANDARDIZED" as to the adoption of electricity when there is a system that can be used on
them as is the Westinghouse' Airbrake. To make ourselves more clearly understood, we beg to quote from a paper prepared
for the joint meeting of the American Society M. E. and the Inst. M. E. of Great Britain, London, July, 1910, by Mr. George
"Westinghouse, president Am. Soc. Mechanical Engineers, and read by- him at that meeting :
THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIFICATION OF RAILWAYS. - . ,
"66. In conclusion, I can only repeat and earnestly recommend to the serious consideration of railway engineers and
those in authority the pressing need of determining the system which admits of a prompt selection of those standards of elec
trification which will render possible a complete interchange of traffic in order to save expense in the future and to avoid
difficulties and delays certain to arise unless some common understanding is arrived at very shortly."
The following telegram is assurance that the Ewbank Self-Contained Gas-Electric System of Electric Control accomplishes
the desired end that Mr- Westinghouse had in mind, and that there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIMENTING in this
ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION, it has been demonstrated fully'after thousands of miles of the HARDEST AND MOST
TRYING SERVICE ON A MOUNTAIN RUN, and has met with the unqualified indorsement of OLD RAILROAD MEN. The
first test referred to herein was 3-9 cents per mile for fuel, against steam 10.01 cents per mile.

Former Portland Man, Sow Residing la
Switzerland, Accused Russians
of Perfidy.
Asserting that the outside world,
especially the United States, is misin

The letter Is dated at Basel, Switz

"The outside world, and especially
the United States, seem to be altogether
misinformed about the war, as I learn
from American newspapers, which al
ways state the German Kaiser wanted
war; he refused to take the palm of

"All the people in Switzerland know
he wanted peace. While he was endeav

Russian Emperor to perfect an under
standing between Austria and Russia.
Russia was bringing secretly a large
army to the German frontier. This
act of treachery and perfidy was
answered by the German Emperor with
the request that the Russian troops be
removed Immediately from the German
line. Instead of doing mo. they concen
trated more troops and war was
promptly declared."
