THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1916.
HUGHES ALLIANCES
IN STATE TO MEET
Convention Called for October
7, When Whirlwind Cam
t paign Will Be Planned.
REPUBLICANS STIFFEN UP
T. P. Corrick, Progressive National
Committeeman of Nebraska, Port-
land Visitor, Thinks Fealty of
Tliat Party Spells Victory.
' The state-wide conference of Ore
iron branches of the Hughes Alliance
will be held in Portland Saturday, Octo
ber 7. The conference was officially
called for that date at a meeting? yes
terday of Judge Charles L. AlcNary, of
Salem, Republican state" 'chairman;
Jialph E. Williams, National commit
teeman; T. B. Neuhausen, vice-chairman,
and other members of the Hughes
campaign committee.
Mr. Neuhausen, who is supervising
the organization of branches of the
Hughes Alliance in Oregon, is sending
out letters giving formal notification
of the conference to the temporary
chairman of each of the branches al
ready formed. So far, Hughes Alliances
have been formed in 42 towns of the
fclate.
Each branch will be entitled to two
delegates at the convention for every
25 members. The conference will last
only one day, but in that time a great
deal of important work is to be trans
acted. Among other things, a permanent or
ganization for the Oregon state branch
of the National Hughes Alliance will
be perfected. The conference will be
addressed by speakers of note, and
plans made for a whirlwind four weeks'
campaign covering every part of the
state.
Hall Not Choaen.
The hall where the conference will
meet has not yet been chosen. It will
be announced later. A large attend
ance of delegates is expected.
Ktate Chairman McNary returned to
Salem last night, where his presence
was demanded by the serious illness of
liis brother from ptomaine poisoning.
Judge McNary expects to return to
J'ortland and be at Republican head
quarters on Saturday.
"I have been pretty well over the
Villamette Valley recently," said
Judge McNary, "and interest in the
election is greater than at any time
since the campaign opened.
"Republicans are getting up and as
serting themselves and I rind many
Democrats who are going to vote for
Mr. Hughes. The result in Maine has
added new zest to the whole campaign.
1 am more than ever convinced that
Oregon will give Hughes and Fairbanks
a rousing majority."
A caller at Republican headquarters
in the Selling building yesterday was
F. P. Corrick. of Lincoln. Neb.. Pro
gressive National committeeman from
that state, who is giving his services to
the Republican National Committee as
a worker among the Progressives. He
conferred here with State Chairman
McNary, National Committeeman Will
lams and Vice-Chairman Neuhausen,
who is also state chairman of the Pro
gressive party in Oregon.
Progressives Thought Safe.
"The result in Mae is an accurate
Index of the sentiment of Progressives
in all the states that I have visited,"
said Mr. Corrick. "There can no longer
be any doubt that the great bulk of
the Progressive vote will be cast for
Mr. Hughes in November."
"The signifance of the Maine elec
tion lies in the fact that the Republi
can vote, cast by Republicans and
former Progressives, tallied almost ex
actly with the estimates that had been
made.
"On my present trip I have been
though Minnesota, North Dakota. Mon
tana and Washington. Everywhere I
found sentiment strong for Mr. Hughes.
The renomination of Mr. Poiridexter
for United States Senator in Wash
ington, the nomination of Mr. McBride
for Oovernor, another Progressive, and
the renomination in California of
Oovernor Johnson are all especially
satisfactory to the Progressives."
Mr. Corrick left Portland late yes
terday for California, where he will
remain for a few days meeting Pro
gressive leaders. From there he ex
pects to "return direct to Lincoln.
WASHINGTON WELL FUSED
(Continued From First Page.)
as chief deputy by State Treasurer
John G. Lewis, a Grays Harbor County
man, and he has resided in Olympia
for the past seven years, thereby hold
ing a claim to being a three-county
man.
Balance Expected to Harmonize.
Along factional lines, the ticket sizes
Tip in the First, Second and Third Con
gressional districts as having given the
important position to a Progressive
Senator, an evenly balanced Governor
and the Congressional places to what
a great many politicians are fond of
terming the reactionaries. There never
has been any serious quarrel over the
balance of the ticket, insofar as fac
tional affiliations are concerned.
This, of course. Is merely the analy
sis that would be made by an old-time
politician if he took his ticket out of
convention to explain to the voters. It
is not going to be supported loyally,
but the early indications are that it
will come as near holding the party to
gether as could any other set of nomi
nees. Defeated to Support Nominee.
There is talk of Republican stand
pat support going to ex-Governor
George Turner in preference to Poin
dexter. This talk is not as general as
was the gossip of threats to bolt Poin
dexter's nomination in the event he
won over Will E. Humphrey.
It is a little premature, too, for the
returns from the Democratic primaries
are not in yet and it might happen that
Turner would not be the Democratic
choice. All the early indications are
that Turner will make the anti-Poin-dexter
fight and unquestionably he will
draw a large number of Republican
votes. He would have drawn more,
though, two months ago.
Colonel Roland H. Hartley, of Ever
ett; George A. Lee and John E. Frost,
of Seattle, defeated Republican Guber
natorial candidates, have either called
upon or written ex-Governor Henry
McBride, offering their support in his
candidacy for Governor. Other candi
dates are understood to have prepared
to enlist in the McBride fight.
Hodge to Bolt Party Nominee.
Again Sheriff Robert T. Hodge, who
was defeated as the Bull Moose nominee
lor Governor four years ago, declares
emphatically that, though he does not
know whom he will support, he is of
the firm opinion that he will fight
McBride.
The grievance of Hodge dates back
to the campaign of four years ago.
McBride was outspokenly a Roosevelt
supporter, though he declared from the
beginning that he Intended to support
the remainder of the state ticket.
Hodge understands it that McBride
would have supported the entire Pro
gressive ticket but that as soon as he
discovered Hodge to be the-Progressive
nominee for Governor he refused to
swallow anything more than the Presi
dential programme.
The Hodge pride, apparently, is in
volved in his decision not to support
McBride in the coming campaign.
. Sutton Has Not Yet EnilsfVd.
Some interest is manifest on the West
Side regarding the attitude of State
Senator W. J. Sutton, of Cheney, who
is rather slow to interpret the mean
ing of the returns. From Sutton head
quarters or sources came a story ear
ly in the campaign to the effect that
McBride was not in sympathy with the
state-wide prohibition act.
Sutton did not get on the stump and
proclaim such a view himself, for he
is not much of a stump speaker and
his managers kept him away from the
public view. However, the Sutton press
agents worked several changes on this
etory. McBride stopped long enough
to quote the official record, which an
swered the Sutton attacks, and then
went ahead about his own campaign,
treating Sutton as though he did not
exist.
Reporter Gains Nomination.
In the First Congressional District
the nomination of John F. Miller seems
to be acceptable. He is an ex-Mayor
of Seattle, served as prosecuting at
torney and as chief deputy in that of
fice; was once a justice of the peace
and has been a newspaper reporter.
Miller "got in bad" at the outset of the
campaign by becoming engaged in a
newspaper quarrel, but- this may be
ironed out, now that he is nominated.
If the First Congressional District
race did nothing else, it served to in
dicate that slate-making and radicals
were unpopular in. the district. The
factional candidates ran far behind Mr.
Miller and a slate was broken in every
particular.
Three Representatives Win Again.
In the four other Congressional dis
tricts. Representatives Lin H. Hadley,
of Bellingham; Albert Johnson, of Ho
quiam, and W. L. LaFollette, of Whit
man, were chosen. All three are fairly
strong and their districts are assumed
to be Republican in faith. In the Fifth
District Representative C. C. Dill. Dem
ocrat, was rechosen and he is certain
to give anybody a hard race. Mr. Dill
has been a most active Representative,
and besides the district is regarded as
Democratic anyway, so there is a stiong
possibility of hie re-election.
There is a fight brewing over the
control of the Republican state and
county committees. The returning Bull
Moose are insisting on taking over the
party control themselves, while the
regulars insist that they, as the
only dyed-in-the-wool party members,
should have all the offices.
Committee Control Is Issue.
In the meantime the candidates who
appreciate the fact that they are caught
between two dilemmas have suggested
that perhaps the candidates might wish
to suggest somebody on their own ac
count. It is a ticklish situation, no
matter from what viewpoint it is re
garded. Under the law all county committees
organize at 2 P. M. on the second Sat
urday following the primaries. If that
situation is not carefully ironed out
it might cause a great deal of trouble.
Nobody has paid any attention to
Democratic returns, indicating that
they knew in advance what the Bour
bons would do, and that there was not
enough of the law of chance to make
guessing valuable.
As a matter of fact, however, the
first returns indicate that Lister will
be renominated; hat George F. Fish-
burn, of Tacoma; George Turner, of
Spokane, and the rest of the Demo
cratic slate went through without a
hitch.
Moose Make Poor ShomingT.
The Bull Moose showing was ridicu
lously small. In King County, for in
stance, there are, roughly speaking,
100,000 registered voters. Out of this
number the preliminary check of the
Auditor's forces indicate that only 120
voted for James E. Bradford, a Seattle
man and candidate for Governor, and
that only 98 persons voted for the Sen
atorial nomination of Walker J. Thomp
son. Judging from what one hears about
the other state candidates, this num
ber of voters would be insufficient to
put a stated Bull Moose ticket in the
field, for there are not enough Bull
Moose voting to upset the results.
Despite their small showing in the
primaries, the Democrats are not dis
couraged. They believe that thousands
of Republicans will vote for President
Wilson and that a primary showing is
unnecessary.
The Democrats and Bull Moose will
try to merge their state and many of
their county tickets. This was under
stood prior to the primaries and as
soon as the-list of nominees is known
the party leaders will try to induce
enough candidates to withdraw so
that a single ticket can be framed up.
The Democrats insist that this ticket
shall be labeled with their party name.
Viewed from almost any angle that
might be assumed, it would appear
that the Republicans had the better
of Tuesday's primaries, nominating a
better-balanced ticket and obtaining a
better representation at the polls. If
friction in the organization of county
and state committees is avoided this
advantage should become Important in
the Fall campaign.
Hartley May Want Tosa In 1020.
One of the most interesting bits of
after-primary gossip is the story that
Colonel Roland H. Hartley, defeated
candidate for Governor, may be in
duced to run for the United States
Senate in 1920. West Side Republican
leaders for the time being seem to
have lost patience with King County
and are seeking elsewhere for a West
ern Washington candidate to pit
against Senator W. L. Jones four years
hence.
Hartley has given the rumor no at
tention, for he realizes that a near-
hero of 1916 might easily be forgotten
before 1920, but the idea has had a
serious effect upon some of Hartley's
friends.
A speakership fight already is under
way, though the members of the next
House have not yet been elected. It
is probable that there will be half a
dozen Republican candidates.
WOMAN NAMED FOR CONGRESS
Campaign of Mrs. Frances Axtell
Managed by Poet.
SEATTLE, wasn Sept. 14. Mrs.
Frances C. Axtell, who was nominated
for Congress in the Second Washington
District on the Democratic and Pro
gressive tickets, was a member of the
Legislature of 1913, being the only
Republican Representative from What
com County. Her campaign for the
Legislature was managed by Mrs. Ella
Higginson. the poet and novelist.
Mrs. Axtell is 50 years old. the wife
of a practicing physician of Belling
ham. She is a graduate of Depauw
University, with degrees of bachelor of
philosophy and master of arts, and has
two daughters.
The vote of the Congressional district
in 1914 was: Republican. 22,551; Demo
crat, lo,032; Progressive. 14,394; So
cialist, 10,099; Prohibition. 2698. The
Republican nominee is Lindley H. Had
ley, the incumbent.
Klamath Fulls Faces Suit.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Sept. 14.
(Special.) Klamath Falls is threatened
with a lawsuit for $168. When the
paving of Eleventh street was begun
City Engineer Zumwalt was authorized
to engage a man to superintend the
work. Engineer Zumwalt engaged J.
H. Collman at $4 per day. Collman
presented a bill for $168 for 42 days'
work, which the Council cut to $139.
A controversy followed.
PARALYSIS MAY BE
DEFEATED BY. KNIFE
Dr. McClure Tells Physicians
That Muscles Can Be Ex
tended to Do New Work.
BRACES NOT AS EFFECTIVE
Lifeless Muscles Can Be Replaced by
Those Not Afrected by Disease,
He Says, and Powers Re-
gained Gall Bladder Topic.
Numerous advances in orthopedic
surgery made in the last few years
have developed methods by 'which de
formities resulting from infantile par
alysis can be corrected. This is the
statement made yesterday by Dr.
Charles R. McClure speaking on "Par
alytic Deformities of the Feet" before
the 42d annual meeting of the Oregon
State Medical Society, held at the Ger
man House, Thirteenth and Main
streets.
"With the corrective methods at our
disposal," Baid Dr. McClure, "we can
often accomplish better results without
the use of apparatus or braces."
In describing the various deformities
that resulted from Poliomyelitis, or
infantile paralysis. Dr. McClure men
tioned a number of operations that in
many cases would restore or improve
the power of locomotion.
Muscles Can Do New Wnk.
The adaptation of muscles to per
form In new functions, thus 'supplanting
the muscles rendered useless by the
disease, was described as a practica
ble procedure. By changing the fas
tenings of the muscles, in some cases
extending the ligaments, ' the useful
ness of diseased leg can be increased
and sometimes restored.
"The functions of the leg muscles are
various," said Dr. McClure, "and a carer
ful adjustment is required between ex
tensors and flexors. Eaey walking can
ensue only when this adjustment is
accomplished."
The efficacy of removing the gall
bladder under all conditions was thor
oughly discussed by a number of med
ical authorities. A paper read by Dr.
J. A. Pettit advocated more advanced
methods in the treatment of gall blad
der diseases. Dr. Park Weed Willis,
of Seattle, who opened the discussion
on this subject, favored greater con
servatism, since he believed that the
changes , in operative treatment oscil
lated like a pendulum.
Drainage Is Advised..
"Until I know more about this sub
ject." he said, "I should like to follow
the usual path. I should provide am
ple drainage in gall bladder operations
until I have more guidance in the other
direction." Dr. R. C. Coffey and Dr.
J. Chris O'Day took an active part in
the discussion.
The relation of pleurisy to tubercu
losis was explained by Dr. E. A. Pierce
and statistics gathered from reports
in-3000 cases were used. A significant
connection between the two diseases
was established.
"Local Anesthesia" was discussed in
a paper by Dr. W. B. Holden. while
"The State's Wards" was the subject
of the paper by Dr. Mae H. Cardwell.
Discussion on the latter was oi-ened
by Dr. J. X. Smith, superintendent of
the Oregon State School for the Feeble-minded.
"Should Physicians At
tend Medical Society Meetings?" was
the subject covered by Dr. J. L. Gille
land, of Pilot Rock.
Besides the address to the Medical
! Association, which win be delivered by
the president. Dr. W. Kuykendall, of
Eugene, the programme for today will
include six papers on various medical
subjects.
FLOUR 20 GENTS HIGHER
HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT CAUSES
ANOTHER JUMP IX PRICES.
Market, Front Present Indications, Is
Likely to Remain at Present Stage
for Some Time in the Future.
An advance of 20 cents in flour
prices was announced by millers yes
terday. The 'hew wholesale quotation
on the best grade of patents is $6.60
a barrel. A year ago today flour sold
at $5.20, though earlier in 1915 the
market was 60 cents a barrel higher
than it is now.
The latest advance has been ex
pected for a week, as milling wheat
prices in the country have been very
strong. At the time the- new flour
quotations were being sent out. how
ever, the wheat market took a sudden
turn downward. There was a big
slump at Chicago, when word was re
ceived that Argentina was prepared to
ship wheat into the United States and
sell it cheaper than the domestic arti
cle. The Chicago drop was reflected
in all the American wheat markets.
Buyers in the Northwest promptly re
duced their bids and selling by farm
ers came to a stop.
As milling wheat cannot be "bought
in the interior now at any lower prices
the present flour quotations will likely
be maintained. The future course of
the flour market will depend entirely
on the action of wheat.
