6 THE SUNDAY OREGOSTAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 28, 1906. TO BACK UP BLAIR Republican Committee Will In terfere in 24th District. BISHOP RUNS INDEPENDENT Farmer Candidate From Friday Har bor AVas Forced on the Ticket and McMillan Is Out for His Opponent. SEATTLE, Oct. 2?. (Special.) The Re publican state committee will interfere in the Senatorial fight in the 24th district in the interest of John L. Blair, Republican nominee. The fight of William Bishop, of Jefferson, independent candidate, threatens the election of Dr. N. K. Mead, of Port Angeles and the state organization has dipped In to save one member of the Senate. Blair to a farmer living: near Friday Harbor, in San Juan County. Photographs of Blair show a striking resemblance be tween the Senatorial candidate and James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad. That is something politicians in Clallam, Jefferson and San Juan coun ties discovered when the first prints rep resenting Blair were sent out. It may or may not strike the voters as a favor able resemblance. The three counties' have been pro-railroad and the coinci dence will not hurt, anyway. The nomination of Blair was forced. The San Juan delegation was only nomi nally for him and William Bishop would probably have had four of the eix dele gates if a break came. Bishop had Jef ferson County and Blair had Clallam, Jefferson and Clallam having equal strength in the Senatorial convention. The feeling against Bishop was bitter and the first effort was made to nominate Blair. That was impossible because of the certainty of losing a majority of San Juan delegates if Blair tried to deliver them. McMillan Favors Bishop. It has never been denied that State Railroad Commissioner John S. McMillin, of San Juan, wanted Bishop named, nor has it been denied that he asked B'.air to get out of the way to permit a delivery to Bishop. The latter insisted on time to see lily friends and the "organization" in the district headed by Lieutenant Governor C. E. Coon, and decided to take a heroic step and nominate Blair. Blair delivered Clallam County solidly and the unwilling San Juan County delegation had to vote Jor its home candidate. Bishop is not of a forgiving nature and he will not overlook the causes for hie defeat. He Is running independently. The state committee is not afraid Bishop will be elected, but that hla candidacy will defeat Blair, the regular Republican nominee. For that reason a strong plea for Blair's support is being prepared and will be scattered broadcast through the district. Incidentally this circular will make a plea for the election of the regular Republican nominees for Representatives from Jefferson County, where an inde pendent ticket threatens. Factional Fight In San Juan. At the same time the state committee Is lighting Blair's battles for him notice comes aown trom San Juan county that tne slate organization must keep Its hands off the contest In that county. San Juan has been placarded with posters and circulars demanding the election of an independent Republican ficket, headed by State Representative William Shultz. who wants to go back to the Legislature again. Shultz is affllated with the organization that is fighting State Railroad Commit sloner John S. McMillin, politically and in a business way. The factional fight has become so bitter that the leaders at least do not speak any more. Most of their adherents are making a personal matter of the contest. Gene Gould, a eon of J. A. Gould, a Friday Harbor banker, is the nominee on the McMillin ticket, which is "regular." Gould it not a friend of McMillin, but his nomination was expedient. The San Juan fight started long before the county convention and on the face of the returns Shultz seemed to have a ma jority of the delegates. The McMillin faction peddled out two offices and hold one other man in their organization, giv ing them a majority of two over Shultz. The Shultz faction refused to attend the regular convention, meeting by them selves and naming an independent ticket, which the Democrats have since Indorsed. McMillin named a Democrat, Ed Delaney, on his ticket as candidate for Sheriff, so there Is not much of party politics in volved in the struggle, though both fac tions claim to be Republican. "lovii With Bossism." This understanding of the situation is necessary to appreciate the circular and the posters that are being spread throughout San Juan by the Shultz fac tion. Here Is the wuy the warning to the state committee reads. "Shultz of San Juan County. Delegates for ?hultz did not bolt, but refused to submit to bossism. Down with bossism and one-man rule. Ivet the people rule. J. S. McMillin, J. A. Gould, O. H. Culver can't run us. We are cleaning house. State committee, hands off. We are for Cushman. Humphrey and Jones. Let us alone. We are in this tight to win. We have found Shultz all right, and we will elect him again. McMillin, Culver and J. A. Gould want 'Gene. The people want Shultz and will have him. On November 6 the independent manhood of San Juan County will assert itself. 'Rah for Shultz. Shultz' postofiice address after January 1 will be Olympia. Culver take notice." The state committee is accepting this warning literally. Congressman Hum phrey went up into San Juan before the status of the tight was understood, but he came back without involving him self. Senator Piles spoke in two towns but he avoided local Issues. He did plead for Blair, however. The state committee proposes to allow the county to settle its own troubles. , Chance for a Socialist. There is a possibility that a socialist may be elected to the state Legislature. He is John Cloak, a blacksmith and a member of the City Council in Belling ham. There are only SOuO votes registered In Belllngham andi Cloak was elected to the Council with 1100 votes. The Republi can or Democratic candidate, must find a majority out of the remaining 1900, or thereabouts. Of course. Cloak polled a better vote as a Councllmanio nominee than he should receive as a candidate for the Legislature, but he is a most dangerous factor in the senatorial contest. Robert L. Kline is the Republican nomi nee and P. M. Liddy is making the Demo cratic, fight. Kline was an eleventh-hour choice of the Belllngham Republicans. Whatcom tried a direct primary nomi nation and Charles E. Roth and L. N". Griffin, twice in the legislature, made the fight for the Senatorial nomination for weeks. Then entered Kline at the last moment. He was a former County Com missioner, a butcher and a popular man of the town. He won out by a big ma jority. Friends of the defeated candidates are said to be fighting Kline. He was not named by the dominant faction In Whatcom, and Harry Fairchild is de clared not to be doing as much as he could for him. Kline's friends are con fident but the situation shows for itself. There are four hard fights being made against Senatorial candidates In King County, but in only two districts do the Republican candidates appear to be' in serious danger. There is a strong possibility of the election of Democrats over W. G. Potts and B. M. Williams. Senator Piles is coming hack home and will spend three or four dnya campaign ing in this county. His personal appeal for party regularity and support for him may be sufficient to save the two, but without that the fight is dubious.

The famous Salton Sea, the creation of the runaway Colorado River, must soon cease to be. The work of turning the river back into its old channel has progressed so that the new river, which fed the sea from the overflow water, is falling rapidly and will entirely cease to discharge water into the sea within two or three days. The regaining of. the control of the Colo rado came Just in time to save the South ern Pacific from the necessity of building a high line of railroad across the Colo rado Desert, the water already being so high that in time of windstorms the track was endangered. The evaporation of water on the desert Is about ten feet a year, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight years for the Salton Sea to wholly disappear.

Bott, a Star City, Ind., hard ware merchant, is enthusiastic in his praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy: His children have all been subject to croup and he has used this remedy for the past ten years, and though they much feared the croup, his wife and he always felt safe upon retiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was in the house. His oldest child was subject .to severe attacks of croup, but this remedy never failed to effect a speedy cure. He has recommended It to friends and neigh bors and ail "who have used It say that it is unequaled for croup and whooping cough. For sale by all druggists. IS (Continued from Page 1.) platform in which the party was pledged to eradicate polygamy and to pass such laws as might be necessary for the pur pose. It arraigned the Mormon Church for dictation in the politics of the state and demanded that it keep its hands off. The platform was emphatic in its con demnation of the Mormon Church, and Its adoption marked the formal opening of a bitter campaign against those peo ple and the practices which they are al leged to be continuing. Chief Justice Stockslager was nominat ed for Governor. He Is a man of great personal popularity,-a master of the art of winning votes wherever he is known. Attempt at Republican Stampede. The action; of the convention alienated the old Steunenberg element of the par ty, as well as the Mormon Democrats. Two years ago the party went Into the campaign on the same kind of a plat form, and at that time it did not receive the support of the elements named. It was cut up this year far worse than the Republican organization over the Gov ernor had been at any time, and the en tire efforts of the leaders has been to win Republican votes for the ticket. The only chance for the ticket was to bring about a Republican stampede. The campaign has been fought with that end in view, and, wherever possible, wedges have been driven Into the Repub- BORAH STRONG PRINCIPAL CANDIDATES IN CONTEST IN W. E. Borah (Rep), for Senator. llcan column. Independent movements in county affairs have been encouraged with varying degrees of success, while the en tire attention of the state committee and the speakers has been devoted to the Mormon question. The first maneuver for division of the Republicans was in Kootenai County. There a bitter contest had been waged within the party over the nomination for District Judge of the First district, em bracing Kootenai and Shoshone Counties, Judge Ralph P. Morgan being defeated for renomination by Robert Nr Dunn. In this contest some of the powerful inter ests of the Coeur d'Alene mining district were arrayed against each other, and some very sore spots were left in the two counties. It was determined, after a number of conferences with Senator Dubois, that a number of the supporters of Morgan would bolt and assist in the election of the Democratic county and legislative ticket. That bolt was formally organized. It was claimed it would take over 1000 Republican votes, but it does not seem likely the defection will reach more than half that number. As the county Is nor mally about 2000 Republican, it is thought by tho more optimistic Republicans it will be carried by them by about 1000 and that all the Republican candidates for the Legislature will be elected with one pos sible exception. Bolt in Latah County. In Latah County some dissatisfied Re publicans united with the Democrats in the nomination of an independent ticket. That bolt, like the one in Kootenai, runs to the state ticket, though organized on county issues. In Bingham Coutny an American party was organized and placed a ticket in the field. That will draw off a good many non-Mormon Republicans, and they will quite generally vote the Democratic state ticket. Fremont County has three tickets. One is an Independent, another an American, and the third the Republican. It is stated that the non-Mormons generally will vote the American local ticket and the Demo cratic state ticket. If that prove true the normal Republican majority will be seriously reduced, though the Republican ticket will still have a long lead. ' In Bannock County an effort to put up an American party was made, but it failed. The Democratic county ticket is receiving the support of a few Repub licans. The Democrats of Bear Lake and Oneida Counties denounced the state plat form and nominated independent local tickets. Those five counties. Bingham, Fremont, Bannock, Bear Lake and Onei da, are largely Morgan. Fusion Is Not Threatening. In Ada County, in which the state capi tal is located, there is a fusion between the Democrats and dissatisfied Repub licans, an independent ticket having been put in the field, but It does not appear to be making serious inroads on the Re publican vote. There are minor complications at many other points. These mainly affect Gov ernor Gooding, though the state ticket throughout will undoubtedly suffer with rim. There are evidences that these trou bles are being cleared up quite largely, but that many Republican votes will be lost through them admits of no doubt. The campaign has been conducted by the Democrats on the Mormon issue sole ly. Very little of anything else has been urged by them. Their contest has been conducted with great vigor and every pos sible influence has been brought to bear to arouse the people of the state to a belief that it is necessary at this time to take up and settle the alleged problem in connection with the beliefs and practices of these people. Women on Stump for Democrats. A number of speakers have come into the state from other portions of the coun try In the interest of the Democratic ticket, conspicuous among these being several women of great prominence and talent. Among these were Mrs. Dieffen. derfer, president of the Interdenomina tional Council of Women, and Miss White, the secretary, also Mrs. Schiff, president of the National Congress of Mothers. These ladies have pleaded very hard with the women of the state to return Senator Dubois to the Senate. Judge Stockslager has not been on the stump. He announced at the opening of the campaign that ha did cot consider It proper for one occupying a position on the bench to enter a campaign. He has. how ever, devoted some time to visiting in various portions of the state. The Republicans have denied that there is a .Mormon issue; they have denied that such conditions exist in the Mormon counties as has been claimed by the Dem ocrats. Moreover, they have declared that the party is capable of enacting and en forcing any legislation that may be need ed to protect the homes of the state. While they have held that the laws o' the state are sufficient, they have an nounced that, if any others are needed, they will be enacted by a Republican Leg islature. Good Record as Governor. Affirmatively, the Republicans have urged the excellence of the administra tion of state affairs given by Governor Gooding, the record having been exploited exhaustively. Challenging the Democrats to make his record as Governor the issue of the campaign, the Governor has re cited on every stump what has been ac complished, and his challenge has not been accepted. Another and perhaps the most import ant feature of the Republican campaign has been the claim that it is necessary to re-elect Governor Gooding with a large majority in order to show the world that the people of his state support the policy he has pursued in prosecuting the men ac cused of the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg. It has been pointed out that the state Itself is on trial because at the charges which have been made against it and against its Governor in all the Socialist papers throughout the coun try, and in all those of the class of the Hearst publications. Emphasis has .been given this feature of the contest by the sending of Secretary Taft here to make two addresses for the Governor on 'that issue. It has been made known that President Roosevelt is deeply interested in the outcome, believing that IDAHO F. T. Dubois (Dem), for Senator. the character of the agitation conducted by the Socialists and their sympathizers against the Governor because of his die- charge of his duty is a matter of far more than state concern, and it is an open secret that he personally asked Taft to make the trip. , Democrats Badly Demoralized. While the Republicans are undoubtedly badly demoralized in numerous localities, the Democrats are in far worse condition. It is openly charged by the especial friends of Judge Stockslager that the state committee has been neglecting his interests entirely In order to prosecute a campaign especially for Senator Dubois. The Judge has said nothing indicating any such feeling on his part, but Demo crats unfriendly to Dubois or lukewarm toward him do not hesitate to charge that he is making a sacrifice of the candidate for Governor. An Incident on the Republican side that may have a marked effect upon the ma jority is the arrest of Robert Lansdon, candidate for Secretary of State. He is charged with having appropriated $40 se cured as a rebate claimed to have been allowed a sheepman on his taxes under the migratory stock law. Taxes are paid on stock In proportion to the time they range in the county, and in the home county a rebate is allowed on a showing that taxes have been paid .to the amount claimed in another county. This alleged offense was committed in 1904, while Lansdon was Assessor of Washington County, where he is now Sheriff. There are other irregularities al leged, and the case has created a bad im pression. He may resign from the ticket, but he cannot be forced off. Mormons Give Up Plan. At one time it was claimed the Mor mons, in order to show they are not con trolled politically by church Influence, would largely vote for Stoskslager while. uniting against Dubois. That report caused qiute a flurry, but it was later made apparent that those people would not do so, since they would thereby be likely to stir up feeling against themselves among people who are fighting their bat tles against Dubois and the Democracy. While there seems no doubt that the Re publicans will have a fair majority, the claims made by the opposition are often disturbing 'to Republican observers when considered in connection with the well known defection existing. Though It is known the Republican ticket will receive a great many Democratic votes, every one is asking how that vote will compare with the loss from the Republican ranks in those localities where such loss seems certain.. Judge Stockslager expresses himself as being certain of election. There Is noth ing to indicate that Senator Dubois is so sanguine, while some of his friends pri vately admit he is beaten. That the Democrats are probably over-sanguine respecting the Gover norship is shown by their claims in this (Ada) County. There seems no doubt whatever that the county will srive a majority of from 1200 to .sovj for the entire Republican ticket; but the local Democrats are claiming they will carrv the county for Stockslager. Such claims as that tend to stagger Republicans who think they . know what conditions are here. Gooding's Probable Majorities. As stated heretofore these conditions render it unsafe to predict majorities. but. from ail that can be gathered on ft t " "g if ? both sides, it would seem probable that the various counties will show majorities on the Governorship no less strongly Republican than the follow ing: Stocks County.

There are some counties that will be carried by the Democratic candidate for Governor In which some or all of the Republican candidates for the Legislature will be successful.

Party in Idaho Will Be Practically Without a Nominee for the Office at Election. BOISE Idaho, Oct. 27. CSneclall This morning Robert Lansdon, Republican can didate tor state Secretary, arrived In the city prepared to hand In his resigna tion. It was found, however, that no change can be made at this time. Under a decision of the Supreme Court, handed down In the case of Napton vs. Meeks, from Canyon County, in 1902, no resigna tion can be filed at a later date than 3( days oefore election. Lansdon's determination to resign was arrived at last night at Weiser, after con ferences with friends and party leaders. but the law. as It is found to be. leaves him a candidate in spite of the determina tion reached. It is a well-known fact that the party managers .and candidates have hoped Lansdon would resign, but the whole matter has been extremely delicate. They could not demand that he resign, thus seeming to prejudge his case; yet It has been felt that It would be to the best interest of the party and the ticket for him to withdraw. Had it been possible for him to purl his name off the ticket, another nomination would have been made at once by the committee, but now Lansdon must go be fore the people in the attitude of a candi date for place notwithstanding his deter mination to file his resignation. It will be up to the voters to determine Whether he shall be elected in face of the embar rassments into which he has fallen owing to the charge against him. The Boise Statesman will say in the morning that the party is in effect without a candidate for Secretary of State, since Lansdon's name remains on the ballot in spite of his desire to have it withdrawn. The Statesman will further express the "opin ion that unuer tne conditions of the case it is, in its opinion, the duty of Republi cans not to vote for him.
