16 THE SUNDAY OBEGONIAN, PORTLAND, 12, 19U URY OLD ISSUES Oregon's Democrats Are for Progress. DELECATE8 ANTI-HEARST Parker or McClellan Will Get Their Votes. LIVELY FIGHT IN PROSPECT Governor Chamberlain Declares for Tariff Revision and Control of Trusts-National Convention Attended by Stalwarts. VIEWS ON" TLATFOKM. GDORE K. CHAMBERLAIN Drop free stiver: It is dead. So Is anti expansion. Tariff revision and con trol of trusts are the supreme issues. IV. E. BUTCHER Some of the ques tions proclaimed as direct Issues by the Kansas City platform will not be direct IwHies in the coming campaign. J. D. MATLOCK The monetary ques tion is settled; let It stay so. Con trol of trusts is a live Issue. Steer clear of anti-expansion and opposition to isthmian canal. T. R. SHERIDAN It la unwise to re affirm Kansas City platform. FREDERICK V. HOLMAN The plat form should contain strong declara tions on the tariff and against as sumption of unconstitutional author ity by the President and Congress on colonial policy and trusts. It ahould reject free silver and greenbackism. Free ullver is dead. JAMES GLEASON The paramount Is sues are tariff revision and regulation of trusts. Oregon will raise a wee small voice at the Democratic National Convention, com. pared with its mighty sisters, but it will say: "Slough off sackcloth and ashes. Re move our foot from free silver and Im perialism. Let Bryan and Cleveland sit down. Let the other boys fight It out. Glory to the highest." The state will send a delegation of eight men to St. Louis. They are as brave stal warts as the broad empire of Oregon can furnish, with stout hearts and sound lungs. In a close fight, thoir votes might decide policies and men. Otherwise, as one of them remarked: "Our delegation will be a mighty small potato In a mighty big hill." The brethren will start Eastward two weeks from yesterday. They will go loaded for b'ar. for they expect to get mixed up In a big scrap over creation of a platform and nomination of a candidate for President. They are not sure, how ever, their candidate will be elected, but that's another story. Quite out of sight is William Randolph Hearst: anyhow, the gentlemen from Ore gon hardly take him seriously any more. In thoir opinion, Parker Is the candidate of moat striking parts; after him. McClel lan, and then the rest of the bunch. Cleve land and Bryan they consider out of the range of possibiltles. Hearst Boom Bursted. Such are the views of the delegates from Portland, and of several others outside this city, whose views have drifted into this city in the last week or two. Glad, Indeed, are Democrats now since the Hearst boom is "busted," for the failure of the State Cpnventlon to Instruct for the publisher. Hearst may receive a vote or two from "Oregon early in the St. Louis Convention, but they will soon afterward go elsewhere. The eight delegates are: Governor George E. Chamberlain, whose admirers have worked up a boomlet In his behalf, thinking he Is just the right size for Vice President of Uncle Sam's dominions; S. M. Garland, of Linn County, who doesn't like Hoarst. though many of his constit uents do, and who started East last week, first to visit his home in "Ole Vlrglny"; W. F. Butcher, of -Baker, who, like Sam "White, longs for the mlntjuilp days of Democracy; C. E. Redfield, of Morrow, part owner in a coal mine in a wool coun ty, which thrives under protective tariff; J. D. Matlock, of Lane, and T. R. Sheri dan, of Douglas, and F. V. Holman and Jamas Gleason. of Multnomah, who will shun Hearst as long as they draw breath from the vital air. Looks Like Parker. His Excellency, Governor Chamberlain, had just returned from the rose show .yesterday when he was confronted with the question, "who will be the Democratic nominee for President?" "It looks to me," responded the Gov ernor, "as If. under present circumstances, Parker will be nominated." "Then McClellan's boom has waned?" "On the contrary, the question of the McClellan boom may be an evidence of its strength. You see. If Parker shall fall to muster the required two-thirds vote early in the contest, the convention may turn to McClellan, all the more readily. If the Hearst and Bryan forces can con trol more than two-thirds of the dele gates the outlook is favorable for Mc Clellan." "Not Gorman?" "No." "Nor Folk?" "No." "Nor Cleveland, nor Bryan?" This time the Govorner shook his head vigorously. "The nominee. In my opinion, will be either Parker or McCellan, or somebody not yet In tslght," said he, and passed on to discuss the platform. Now it is quite evident that sharp pains will convulse the convention when the body sets to fussing over the creation thereof, for the Bryan people will sooner pluck the stars from the skies than let the Kaneae City and Chicago platforms pass by unsung. Not so. Governor Cham berlain, however. He would burv the past, cover the grave with flowers on Momorlal day, but not cling to the modes and fashions beneath the sod. Said he "Drop Dead Issues." "Free silver is settled, and when an issue is settled, I say drop it. We might just as well have declared in 1S76 that the war was a failure as to reaffirm the platforms of J9W and 1SSS. Didn't Repub licans repudiate their platform of 1S69 as to slavery? Are there not influential Re publicans even In Oregon who once proached free silver but who have since renounced It? "My Idea is that the platform of a progressive political party should be shaped to now oe millions as tney arise." Nor iW His Excellency favor reviewing the imperialism issue. "I think." saW he. "that the Filipinos ultimately should receive Independence. But before they get It they must learn to behave themselves, and they should not be encouraged to hope for independence on any other terms. My views on this sub ject are well known to the people of Ore gon," and a reminiscent smile played about the Governor's" lips as he mentally rehearsed his stump speeches of two years ago. "Republicans said I stood on a rickety platform then," he went on, but smiled donbtlngly as he remembered how he tad been elected Governor of Oregon by 246 votes against a nominal Republican plurality of 15.000. Conservative on Tariff. If Governor Chamberlain had his way he would model the National platform after that of New York. He would put In a vigorous declaration for control of trusts and for revision of the tariff. He is conservative in his tariff views, and would n.ot go so far as to "abolish custom houses," yet he would remove the tariff on trust-made goods. Tariff-revision, he believes, will become the supreme Issue within the next four years, and the Dem ocratic party should prepare the way to It. F. V. Holman's View of Issues. The way Southern States have been add ing noise to the Parker boom encourages the backers of that candidate, yet one of the most serious doubts against him is whether he can carry New York State, despite Tammany's hostility. "If he can't unite New York," say the party mlghties In Oregon, "then he won't do." "But," spoke up a patriarch yesterday, "didn't Tammany want somebody else than Cleveland in 1S92, and didn't Cleve land carry New York?" On the bosom of Frederick V. Holman a white rose rested Its beautiful head. All day long the rose smiled up to him from his lapel, nor had it wilted ever so little. It was a tea rose, said Mr. iioiman, as pure and chaste as Democratic precept. Whereat he spoke the name by which the beautiful thing was known in those ugly books. But never mind the name; it was long enough for a Russian battleship. "The next Democratic platform," said he, fondling the rose, "should contain a strong declaration on the tariff according to Democratic principles, a protest against assumption of unconstitutional and extra ordinary powers by the President and Congress and a clear utterance on the co lonial policy of this country and the men ace of trusts. Further, the platform should reject socialism and paternalism and money nonsense." "By money nonsense do you mean free silver?" "Yes, and greenbackism. Free silver Is as dead an Issue as slavery. It is a dream, a bad dream." It was not necessary for a convention to exhume defunct issues. "We might as well revive slavery and greenbackism," he said. Each platform should be molded to fit the time in which it was to serve Its use. Mr. Holman feared that the depart ments of government were setting up "mighty dangerous precedents" in sur passing the limits of constitutional au thority. He took the view that the cen tralizing tendency in government should be checked. President Roosevelt's action In the coal strike and at Panama, and the assumption of lawmaking power by lead ers In Congress were temporarily con venient, but they set up "mighty danger ous precedents." Against all this Mr. Holman would register a protest in the National platform; also against our methods in the Philippines, for "the re flex action Is a tremendous injury to this country." Coming down to Presidential timber. Mr. Holman declared that he would fight nobody save Hearst. He would accept Parker or McClellan, but not the latter for his descent from the famous war Gen eral. "I hope," said he, "that this coun try will never get into the way of letting kinship make its Presidents." "Above all," he added, "we should nom inate a man who can unite the discordant elements of the party." Will Not Name His Favorite. James Gleason would not reveal the man whom he had picked out for the Presi dential nomination. Perhaps he hadn't selected anybody, but just the same he skirmished when set upon for information. "Lots of good Democrats can sweep the country," he declared stoutly. "Who?" "Oh, we'll find one at St- Louis. We have 'em. How about our Sheriff and our Dis trict Attorney? Didn't they run, hey?" "Will the nominee be Hearst?" "How do I know?" "Or McClellan?" "I really can't tell so far away." Mr. Gleason would not consent to re affirmation of the last two National plat forms. The two prominent Issues he be lieved were tariff revision and regulation of trusts. KANSAS CITY PLATFORM OLD. Many of Its Issues Not Now Alive, Suggests W. F. Butcher. BAKER CITY, Or., June 1L (Special.) "I realize that aside from the choice of a Presidential candidate, the making of the next Democratic National platform at St. Louis next month is the most im portant matter to be settled by the Demo cratic National Convention," said Nation al Delegate W. F. Butcher this after noon. "I am not prepared at this moment to give expression to my views on this all important subject. It Is all-Important, be cause It is possible that the selection of some of the planks of the platform may overshadow in Importance the choice of a Presidential candidate. In fact, the choice of a platform may determine the choice of a candidate. "If by the time the convention meets a great majority of the delegates have made up their minds whom they will nominate so that the naming of the candidate be comes a foregone conclusion, the choice of a platform will be an easy matter, be cause the convention will adopt a plat form to conform to the known views of the gentleman whom it is going to name for President. "Speaking in a general way, I will say that I favor the adoption of a platform at St. Louis which shall be in harmony with the principles enunciated in the Kansas City platform, although I can t sav that I am in favor of the reafHrma tion of the Kansas City platform in terras. "Some of the questions proclaimed as direct Issues by the Kansas City plat form will not be direct Issues in the com ing campaign. I think the platform to be adopted at St. Louis, while reaffirming the time-honored principles of the Democratic party, should deal with present Issues, "While, as I have said. I have a de cided opinion regarding the platform to be adopted, I am not In position to make a formal and positive declaration on the subject for the reason that I am a dele gate to the convention from this state, and not having consulted with my col leagues, I don't deem it expedient for me to make a formal declaration as to what I think should be done at this time. "I believe the delegation from this state should, if possible, act unitedly, and in order that we may do so, it may be neces sary for me to modify my views in some particulars after consulting with them." MONEY QUESTION SETTLED. Let It Stay So, Says J. D. Matlock, of Eugene. EUGENE. Or.. June 1L (Special.) In an Interview this evening J. D. Matlock said it was his belief that the coming Demo cratic National Convention would do well to adopt a platform very much on the lines of the Kansas City platform. "I do not mean to say we should reaffirm that platform, for it Is not my way to reaffirm anything, either platforms or men, for new conditions are alwajs appearing. But I think we should follow pretty closely along the lines of the last platform. "I do not think It would be necessary or expedient to adopt a monetary plat form, that matter is settled; let It stay so, "I think we should have a strong- plank demanding control of trusts and corpora tions. These great aggregations of capi tal at times become an absolute injury to the masses of the people. When It Is so I believe our laws should be so strong that they may be placed under subjection. and If relief is not to be had. then we ought to be able to absolutely abolish these trusts. This trust question is an Important one to the people of this coun try, and I believe the Democratic party should declare itself for restriction of trusts and corporation power in very strong terms. "I am an expansionist. I do not believe In any complaint against the past ad ministration on the matter of acquiring new possessions. The party in power was right, and we Democrats do ourselves no good to make complaint, and would better endorse the administration s actions. "The same may be said regarding our actions in regard to the Isthmian Canal. I believe in throwing nothing in the way of the accomplishment of this enterprise. It Is one of the best things for the inter ests of our country, and rather than com plain at a Republican President for his action, I believe in endorsing the act and pushing It along. It is an Important mat ter, especially for" the Pacific Coast, and personally I would- endorse It. As to what will be done by the con vention. I am unable to predict, but I give you my personal opinion in the mat ter." Against Kansas City Platform. ROSEBURG, Or.. June 1L (Special.) To an Oregonlan correspondent today Honorable T. R. Sheridan, delegate to the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis, expressed the opinion that it would be unwise at this time to reaffirm the Kansas City platform. As to platform measures or utterances he prefers to take up mat ters as they present themselves for so lution when the convention meets. DENTISTS END SESSIONS. Dr. E. G. Clark, of Portland, Elected President; With the election of officers the meet ings of the Oregon State Dental Associa tion concluded yesterday. These officers were elected: President, Dr. E. G. Clark, of this city; vice-president. Dr. Harper, Corvallls; secretary. Dr. F. Watson, of this city; and Dr. Jean. Kline, of this city, and Dr. Beatty, of Oregon City, members of the executive committee. Resolutions expressing sympathy with Dr. John Wrelch, of this city, in his illness, and hoping for his speedy recovery, were passed. It was agreed that Dr. John Welch. Dr. J R. Cardwell. Dr. William Keohler and Dr. George H. Chance be placed on the active list of the association, without pay, in recognition of their long professional services. It was also decided that a strong effort be made to secure the 1905 meeting In this city of the National Dental Association, which will mean an addition to Portland's population at that time of nearly 4000 peo ple. If this meeting cannot be secured. It is likely that the meeting of the Pacific Coast Dental Association, with about S00 members, will be got instead. Among the papers read at yesterday's meeting were: "The Method of Backing Teeth," by Dr. O. D. Ireland, and "Three Contact Points in Full Sets of Teeth." PUT 0EEG0N BUILDING FIRST. Leading Kansas Men Praise the St. Louis Structure. WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, St Louis, June 11. The Oregon building Is the most attractive structure on the grounds was the opinion expressed hy Governor Bailey and Commissioner Morrow, of Kansas, who -were visitors today. Tales of Men in Police Court Bad Man From Montana Quelled Morphine Slave Pleads for Mercy Prisoner "Weeps at Prospect of Leaving; Jail HEN he was over in Montana, Al Glfford wore high-heeled boots'and a brace of six-shooters. This garb was set off by bearskin chaparejos, a som brero, with rattlesnake band, and a buck. skin shirt. His food was herbs and raw meat when he could get nothing better, and his associates were the coyotes of the range, and the fierce-mannered mustang he rode. Occasionally he would encounter a human being in the shape of a train robber or other outlaw, and thus learn a few things of what was going on out In the world. Honest men he rarely com muned with. In short, Al Glfford was a bad man. When Al came to Portland, a few days ago, and sought to win the affections of a fair-haired Portland maiden, he es sayed to impress her with his heroism and ferocity, knowing that he was a lit tle shy on good looks. He had heard that women are susceptible to even very homely men who are manly and have a "history" behind them. He proceeded to pour Into her ears tales of his many daring exploits, and when he had finished, all the heroes of romantic fiction had been hopelessly relegated to the far rear. Womanlike, she was Incredulous. For how can a woman who has met only "Willies" and ribbon-counter clerks un derstand the feasibility of such exploits as Al of Montana narrated? But he would show her. "Come with me, woman!" he shouted, springing from his seat In a saloon box, where they had been supping together. He seized her by the wrist and, emitting a couple of Comanche yells, and kicking over three chairs and the table, he forced her from the place and into a boarding house, a few doors distant. Here his yells aroused the entire household. The guests came running Into the hallways. When Glfford ordered them in stentorian tones to retreat or be ground into dust, he im mediately had the premises to himself. Some one called for the police, and when the officers came on the scene, Glf ford dodged Into the bathroom, dragging the woman with him, and barricaded the door. When the officers broke It down, he quailed before the array of brass buttons and submitted to arrest without a strug gle. When arraigned before Judge Hogue, Glfford was charged with disorderly con duct. He denied all knowledge of the feats ascribed to him, and said, If they were true, he must have been drinking. "I think you have used up about $20 worth of the city's peace and quietude." remarked Judge Hogue, and Al Glfford, from the state of the bitter root, paid the fine with the air of a man who felt he had had his money's worth. ALL THAT there was left of Ed Shaver tried to straighten up and look un concerned. Shaver used to be a husky young man of athletic tendencies before he bartered these perquisites of Nature for the dan gerous practice of stabbing himself daily -with a hypo needle. He has been using morphine for two years. A year ago his own mother would not have recognized her son In the withered and drawn dere lict. Yesterday It Is very doubtful If Shaver would have recognized himself had a mirror been shoved suddenly before him. But all there was left of him tried to draw Itself together In some sort of dig nified order. A latent and dwarfed sense of pride tried to bring a smile, of uncon cern to his face when he was led before Judge Hogue and charged with being a vagrant, a morphine fiend and a blot on organized society. "I think you ought to have about 90 days." said Judge Hogue. The feeble attempt at smiling disap CUTS DOWN CLERKS Judge Webster Reduces the Sheriffs Force. FOUR IN TAX OFFICE TO GO Matter of Abolishing Sheriff's Con tract for Feeding the County's Prisoners Is Also Under Consideration. Judge Webster yesterday made an order cutting- down the force in the tax collection department of the Sher iff's office from 11 to 7 clerks, to take effect next Tuesday. Judge Webster made inquiries regarding- the amount of work now being- performed In this department, and decided after receiving information on the subject that there -were too 'many men employed. Sheriff Storey will pick out the men who are to go, as it is his duty to appoint and discharge deputies. The County Court only has authority to regulate the num ber of deputies and to fix their com pensation. The County Court still has under consideration the matter of abolishing the contract with the Sheriff for boarding prisoners. The Sheriff re ceives 35 cents per day for boarding each prisoner, and there are now near ly 100 prisoners confined, and the monthly bill is about $1000. The Sher iff pays the cooks and employes and pays the Jailer. ' If the county can arrange to buy the provisions and feed the prisoners, it Is believed money can be saved. The county would then pay the cooks and Jailer, and the County Board would probably name the man who filled the position of jailer. In such case the present incumbent, D. D. Jackson, would probably be retained. It Is a question if the county can do these things under the law. The statute does, however, provide that a contract for the board of prisoners can be let to the lowest bidder. If this law Is enforced the contract can be taken away from the Sheriff. , It has not been deemed advisable In the past to have an outsider in the jail feeding prisoners, because the Sheriff is re sponsible under the law for the safe keeping of the prisoners, and an out side man in the Jail feeding prisoners would Increase the responsibility of the Sheriff, who would have no control over him. This is why it Is doubted that the County Court can take charge of the feeding of the prisoners and ap point a jailer, unless the present law on the subject Is amended. QUEEN'S VOTE IS CLIMBING. Close Race Between Candidates King's Courier Falls Down. The queen vote Is climbing rapidly and In a few days the happy contestants will reckon their ballots by the bushel. The count last night stood: Margaret Paff rath 3.1S8 Anna Simmons 2.70C Bessie Aaron ; 2,493 Anna Mabel Atkinson 2,121 Retha Fowler .1,044' Pearl Sones 1.5S3 Mae Mason 1.137 Fanny Hendee 1,105 The advance courier of Rex, the King peared on the instant. A look of terror replaced it. Ninety days was an Incom prehensible length of time to be locked away from his seductive master, mor phine, which gives him the only moments of relief from torture he ever knows. Some such thought as this must have taken possession of Shaver, for he began trembling all over, and begged to be given ten minutes In which to leave town on penalty of serving double the sentence. Knowing well that Shaver would not take any chance of being locked away from the drug to which he is an abject slave, Judge Hogue embraced the oppor tunity of ridding the city of the wreck. His honor gave him 00 minutes, to get out of town. DEFAMERS of tip City Jail must now take a rear seat. Men who have called It a disreputable hole and a dis grace to the city must henceforth remain mute before the testimonial given the city bastile by Henry A. Hockenberry. For Hockenberry shed tears in court at the prospect of being taken away from the City Jail. Henry A. is the man whose wife refused to live under the same roof with him, a few days ago. He then got out his trusty Winchester and said she would not live at all if not with him. The police reached their home on the East Side ahead of the Coroner and locked the disconsolate hus band up. During the three or four days he has been in Jail, Hockenberry has formed numerous acquaintances among the pris oners. He gave one his tobacco, another his pipe, and would have parted with his clothes had the jailer not interferred. When Judge Hogue suggested that he be transferred to. the County Jail, Hocken berry broke out weeping and pleaded for the privilege of remaining in the City Jail, If he must remain at all. Judge Hogue must have had a suspi cion that behind the display of'tears was a vague realization that confinement to the City Jail implied a vast possibility of escape. He could account for the man's grief in no other way. And as it Is really desired to keep Hockenberry under lock and key, his diplomatic. tears were ndt heeded. Those having business with him will now find him at the county's prison. RELIABLE OPTICIANS If you are In doubt regarding your glasses consult the Oregon Optical Com pany.
