BONAPARTE
N
AFTER BIG GAME
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aue. 10. Senator Bacon, or
Georgia, is not enthusiastic about tne
prospect of the nomination of Bryan in
1908. He does not believe that Bryan
can be elected, if nominated, and, further
more, believes that the party has dis
charged all obligations to the man from
Nebraska. Senator Bacon is one of those
Democrats who believe that the next
Presidential nominee should come from
the South. He Is not a candidate him
self, but he believes there is an abund
ance of Rood material from which to
choose, and he thinks it is time the Soutn
should have some reward for its unwaver
lng loyalty.
Southerners Should' Come Forward.
The Senator was asked why it was t'nat
the South did not concentrate In support
of some one of its prominent Democrats
and he explained that Southern Demo
crats were backward about declaring
themselves. Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
Senator Culberson, of Texas, and ex-
Senator Carmack. of Tennessee, have all
been mentioned, but not one of them so
much as intimated that he would care for
the nomination even if his friends would
undertake to secure it for him. Senator
Bacon believes that the Southern Demo
crats of Presidential size made a mistake
when they did not assert themselves, for,
while these men are maintaining silence,
and thereby discouraging their friends
who would like to see them nominated.
Bryan Is again letting the country know
that ha Is willing and anxious to dp
nominated, and enthusiasm Is again being
aroused, with the almost certain result
that the work ef the next Democratic
National Convention will be mapped out
for it long before the convention assembles.
Gray Second Choice.
If he could not have a Southern Demo
crat, Senator Bacon would lavor tne
nomination of ex-Senator Gray. 01 Dela
ware. Gray Is conservative, he is In
dependent, and he is rational, and repre
sents, as Senator Bacon believes, the very
best element In the Democratic party.
But Gray, like Southern Democrats, . is
not inclined to push himself forward, ana
tho movement In favor of his nomination
is making no progress. Bryan Is the only
Democrat who Is an active candidate for
the nomination: he Is the only Democrat
In whose behalf any material demonstra
tion has been made, and it Is a safe bet
that the convention will disregard tne
wishes of the Stouth and again nominate
Bryan, knowing full well that the South
will, as usual, support the man who Is
chosen to lead the party.
Tariff Revision to Be an Issue.
In discussing the political outlook.
Senator Bacon expressed the belief that
tariff revision would be a conspicuous
lssnie in the coming campaign. He also
thoueht that opposition to centralization
nf nower In the Federal Government
would be generally discussed. As far as
the tariff was concerned, he said:
"The revenue requirements ot the uov-
emment will always necessitate a high
tariff. A low rate of tariff duties is an
impossibility In our day. The Democratic
party ought to declare against the un
necessarily excessive tariff and against
the discriminating and extortionate
reatures In which the DIngley law abounds
But an indiscriminate declaration against
the tariff will fall to bring to our sup
port a vast number of Republicans who
are ready to break away from their party
on account of the grievous tarirc aouses
which now afflict the people."
It is not likely that a convention that
will nominate Bryan will adopt Senator
Bacon's views on the tariff. These views
ore more apt to be Indorsed by a con-
i vention which would nominate Taft.
WILLIAMS STILL THE LEADER
His Election to Senate Will Still
Leave Him Four Years In House.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aur. 10. The promotion of John
Sharp Williams to the Senate win leave
the Democrats in the House of Represen
tatives without a leader. Though Williams
was chosen as the new Senator from
Mississippi by popular vote of the people
of his state, he will not take his seat in
the upper branch of Congress for four
years, or until March 4, 1911. The prob
abilities are that in the meantime Wil
liams will hold his old position as leader
of the minority in the House, and. during
these four years the Democrats will pick
out a younger man to take hold wnen
Williams goes to the Senate.
The minority in the House of Represen
tatives Is not Well organized and has not
been for a number of years. Williams is
not an Ideal leader. The party Is split
Into factions and on no critical issue has
Williams been able to secure the united
support of the Democrats. But for all
that he Is probably as good a leader as
could be found among the present mem
bership, and, fdr that reason, it is quite
likely he will be again nominated by his
party for the Speakership, which nomina
tion carries with it the floor leadership
of the minority.

Alabama Legislature Establishes
New Precedent In Politics.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 10. The present Alabama
Legislature established a new preceaeni
in American politics when it elected four
United States Senators. Two of these
were to fill out the . unexpired terms ot
Senators Morgan and-Pettus, and two to
fill out the full terms succeeding.
The successors to the unexpired terms
of Senators Morgan and Pettus were vir
tually chosen at the Democratic prn
marles a year ago, wnen me voiera
chose "alternate Senators," who . were to
be elected by the Legislature In the
event that Morgan or Pettus or both
should die before the end of their re
spective terms. At the time of the pri
maries the two sitting Senators were
each past the 80-year mark, and It was
feared that neither would live to see the
end of his term. The wisdom ot tne peo
ple in selecting alternates has since been
demonstrated. The new Senators. John
H Bankhead. and Joseph H. Johnston,
who were selected by the people to nu
out the unexpired terms, were later
elected by the Legislature and have now
been chosen by that body to fill the full
terms to follow.
HATED BOY SINCE BIRTH
FATHER REFUSES ANY AID TO
HIS WAYWARD SOX.
PRESIDENT NOT TO DICTATE
Would Like to See Taft the Next
President, However.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 10. One of the argu
ments most frequently made against
the nomination of Secretary Taft Is
the alleged fact that President Roose
velt Is trying to force the convention
into naming his present Secretary of
War as the party standard-bearer in
1908. Though widely circulated, this
statement is untrue. 'The President
will not attempt to dictate to the con
vention, though It Is true that he has
a preference and Taft Is hls favorite
candidate.
There is no reason why the Presi
dent should not have a preference
among all the various candidates for
the Republican nomination. It Is the
most natural thing in the world that
he should desire the nomination of the
man who Is In sympathy with the
present administration, and who, if
elected, would be most likely to con
tinue the reforms that have been In
augurated since Mr. Roosevelt went
into the White House.
Every one understands that the reg
ulation of corporations Is still In its
Infancy.- The regulation of the rail
roads has only Just begun and a per
fect system has yet to be evolved.
The elimination of graft from the
Federal service is by no means com
plete. It is evident that corporations
are still able to reacn certain Drancnes
of the executive departments, though
their influence is being steadily re
duced.
These reforms cannot be completed
by March 4, 1909. Another four years
will be necessary to carry the policies
to completion. If Mr. Roosevelt is not
re-elected, the people must choose
man in harmony with Roosevelt, or
else they must expect to see the prose
cution of the corporations, etc., dropped
as soon as the new administration
takes hold. Taft is the one man of
all the Republican candidates mos
heartily In sympathy with Roosevelt's

Other Violations of Law by Oil Mo

Development at Hand in
the Harrlman Case.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Attorney-General
Bonaparte, -.irho visited President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay yesterday,
stopped for a brief period In this city
before going to his home In Baltimore.
While here he talked fully of his con
ference with the President and intimated
that next month might bring further de
velopments of Importance in the cam
paign against alleged lawbreaklng cor
porations. "I do not wish to make any secret of
the fact that the' talk between the Pres
ident and myself was In reference to the
fine imposed by Judge Landls against
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana."
said Mr. Bonaparte. "We Ciscussed that,
also what step should be taken as a re
sult of the investigation of tlu Interstate
Commerce Commission on the Harrlman
railroad system. What will be done in
regard to both these questions I cannot
tell at the present time."
Mr. Bonaparte was asked if there would
be any prosecution of Individuals and he
replied:
"I will say that if we have what the
doctors call a good case, those higher up
will come in for their share of the inves
tigations. The cases will be pressed to
the limit. So far as ;he smaller fry are
oncerned, I do not think there Is any use
of going after them. I refer to the men
who are at present holding positions in
the companies."
Will the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana be forced to pay the fine if Its
a-peal fails?"
'That is a question, the answer to
which can only be found in the future,"
said Mr. Bonaparte mllln;
The President and I talked over the
amount of the fine imposed by the courts
and we both sympathized very much
with the company," added the Attorney
General, and his smile broadened.
But how can the Standard Oil Com
pany ot Indiana pay a fine of over $29.-
000,000 on a capital of only $1,000,000?" h
was asked.
'If the decision just ob.lned Is af
firmed by the Court of Appeals, then we
will go after our money and get It In
some way," answered Mr. Bonaparte. "It
Is true that a stone has no blood," hs
added, "but a stone may be ground up.
This one case against one company of
the Standard does not Insure Immunity
for the other branches. In all probabil
ity other cases will be taken up by the
Department of Justice.
In speaking about the Harrlman report
which he had discussed witn the xresl
dent, the At :orney-General said that
there was nothing to be said at this time.
but that developments may be expected
within the next few weeks.
"Within a month," said Mr. Bonaparte,
'I can say there will be something
heard from the Harrlman affairs. While
there may be some new developments,
there will be nothing of a sensational
character. I have had this matter under
consideration for the last three or four
weeks."
Among the things discussed by the
President and Mr. Bonaparte, according
to the latter was the prevalence oi land
frauds In the West. There are a great
many of these. It was said, and the Pres
ident was very mucn interested in nav
inar them brought light and tne offend
ers criminally prosecuted, --.is is being
done just as fast as the cases come up
for consideration.
IN EFFECT AUGUST 24
New Reciprocal Demurrage
Give Club to Shippers.
Will
The reciprocal demurrage law passed by
the last Legislature will become effective
one week from today. After that date
failure on the part of the railroads to
supply cars within a stipulated time after
they are called for by shippers will be
Dunlshed by a fine of $2 a day for each
car not given On the other hand if
shipper falls to load cars delivered to
him within -48 hours aner tney are re
ceived, he must pay a fine of $2 a day
fnr each car held over that time.
In addition to the fines the railroads
will be required to pay for the tardy
delivery of cars, shippers may also compel
the payment of actual damages caused by
the failure of the railroads to supply
rolling stock. Proof of this damage
must be made to the Railroad Commis
sion. There have been no complaints of lack
of cars on the Oregon roads for some
time, cars having been in better supply
throughout the Summer than for several
years. '

STANDARD OIL HIT IN MANILA
Suit Filed to Recover $40,000 Im
port Duty on Old Claim.
MANILA. Aug. 10. The Attorney-Gen
eral has been instructed by the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington to file suit
against the Standard Oil Company to re
cover $40,000 import duty on an old claim
dating back to the time when the military
turned over the government to the civil
authorities. The amount represents the
differenco between the DIngley rates and
the present tariff.
CLIMBS POLE BACKWARD
Automobile Performs Fancy Stunt
on Washington Street.
To climb tho telephone pole that
stands at Sixth and Washington street
with an automobile has become a regu-
lar Saturday night amusement. Last
night, by way of variety and to add a
dash of novelty. W. A. Spanton. of 715
Thompson street, started his new $3100
car up the pole backward. In this at
tempt he had the enthusiastic assist
ance of a motorman on a Washington
streetcar. The little outdoor vaude
ville turn was arranged thus:
Spanton started down Sixth street
from the Postoffice at something less
than 100 miles an hour. The garage
was over four blocks away and he had
only one night in which to get there,
so he was in haste. The streetcar was
coming up Washington street from
Fifth at the rate Washington street
cars usually travel when behind time.
They met. The car hit the rear wheel
of the auto and swung it completely
around and sent it skidding straight
for a cigar in the corner store.
As entering a clgarstore 47 miles an
hour sideways in an automobile is not
as fashionable In Portland as is riding
h bucking cayuse into a saloon in
Arizona, Spanton thoughtfully aimed
for ttie telephone pole and hit it.
The streetcar stopped, the motorman
and Spanton gave a delightfully life
like representation of Alphonse and
Gaston, the crowd offered its usual
good advice, then the car and the auto
went on and Portland's Saturday even
ing free show was over.
The rear axle of the auto was badly
bent In the mixup.
