PASTOR'S ORATORY SWAYS
Speech by Rev. V. J. HIndley Loses
Day for Oregonians Delegates
Knjoy Banquet Side Trips
to . the Sawmills.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 29. (Special.)
Just before the close of the retail lum
bermen's convention today excitement
rose to a considerable degree when.G. B.
Wastell, of Portland, extended ah invita
tion to the association to meet next year
at Portlands Mr. Wastell read several let
ters addressed to the convention, promis
ing the warmest kind of a reception to
the association should they decide to visit
Portland, and pointing out the attractions
of Portland as a convention city. The
applause which followed his short 'talk
told plainly of many backers in the con
vention, anil even after Si. EL Hayden, of
Spokane, had spoken ably of the merits
of his city, it looked as if Mr. Wastell
would win the day.
Mr. Hayden. however, appreciating the
power of oratory, called upon Rev. W. J.
Hendlay, of Spokane, to speak in his
place in the' effort to sway the associa
tion toward the Washington city.
Minister's Oratory ' Wins the Day.
And Rev. Mr. Hendlay did his part well.
Me pointed out that last year's convention
had been held at Salt Lake, the eastern
extreme of the association's territory.
where-.it had been benefited by. securing
many new members within the range of
that city. Then, stated Rev. Mr. Hend
lay. the gathering this year had taken
place at the western extreme, where the
retailers had profited by the large attend
ance of manufacturers. Therefore, he ar
gued, -having obtained the benefits of add
ed membership and contact with manu
facturers, why should not the association
next meet where they would be centrally
located, giving the majority of the mem
bers of the organization .ample chance to
visit the convention?
Portland's lost Opportunity.
Kvcn after this address it is doubtful
if Spokane would have won had the Port
lamb contingent seized the opportunity and
spoken first. It was a Spokane man,
however, who, rising, moved that the next
convention be held In his city. This was
seconded and President Merrill called for
a standing vote of those In favor of the
motion. Only 11 members rose, and they
were so close that a count was decided
upon and the Spokane faction was again
Requested to rise.
, Secretary Porter then announced that
il had voted for Spokane against 10 for
Portland. There were some Portland fol
lowers who afterward stated there had
been a mlacount and that Portland had
won. The die had been , cast, however,
and President Merrill announced that the
nixt annual gathering would be in "Sunny
Spokane.'

FULTON MEN IN CONTROL
Rousing Republican Convention in
Eugene, Where Chamberlain Is
Greater Favorite Than the
Clackamas Blacksmith.
EUGENE. Or., Feb. 29. (Special.) One
hundred Republicans from all over Lane
County met at the Courthouse here to
day to discuss party Interests and prepare
for the oncoming campaigns. County
Chairman E. R. Mummy called the meet
ing to order and asked for the nomina
tion of a deep dyed-in-the-wool black
Republican. H. W. Thompson placed in
nomination a man who. he said, ans
wered the description, and J. M. Williams
was chosen chairman with B. A. Wash
burn, of Springfield, secretary.
S. L. Moorehead, Of Junction, opened
the speechmaking, strongly favoring the
University of Oregon appropriation and
Statement No. 2. C. J. Dodd, of Spring-
neid, denounced Statement No. 1.
The committee on resolutions, consist
ing of H. W. Thompson, of Kugene: S. L.
Moorehead, of Junction; B. O. Potter, of
Eugene; Albert Walker, of Springfield,
and .William Van Duyn, of Coburg, re
ported at 1:30 o'clock and the resolutions
adopted were as follows:
Resolutions Are Clear-Cut.
1. Resolved. That ne heartily favor the
plan of organizing Republican clubs in each
of the . precincts of this county and recom
mend that in each prfcinct a Republican
club be organized for the purpose of pro
moting the interests of the Republican
partj-
2. Believing that the prevalent Republi
can principle is and always has been best
for the happiness and prosperity of this re
public, we favor the election of a Republi
can President of theffe-Unlted States. For
the same reasons we believe In the election
of a Republican as United States Senator
from Oregon. Inasmuch as the direct pri
mary law does not require or advise legis
lative candidates to subserve to Statement
No. 1, we recommend that candidates do not
sign any statement which might require
them to stultify their Republican principles
by voting for anyone who is not a Repub
lican. 3. Resolved, That we pledge our united
support to the bill now pending before the
people for the support and maintenance of
the University of Oregon.
Resolution No. 2 was a substitute
offered by W. Kuykendall.
Table Hughes Boom.
The committee asked the convention
to indorse Charles E. Hugbea as the
Republican candidate for President of
the United States. After a warm dis
cussion the resolution was tabled.
Hughes and Taft men were about di
vided, but opposition to such an early
declaration prevailed. The men who
spoke for Hughes were H. W. Thomp
son. J. M. Williams, L. E. Bean, E. O.
Potter.
S. M. Yoran bitterly denounced W.
S. U'Ren, who, he claimed, is not a
Republican. He said: "If I were a
member of the Legislature I would
vote for George E. Chamberlain sooner
than for W. S. U'Ren. because I know
where Chamberlain stands." He fa
vored an amendment to Statement No.
1 and denounced Statement No. 2 as
nonsense. S. L. Moorehead also de
nounced U'Ren and the theories.
Fulton Men in Control.
Robert Huston, of Portland, spoke to
the convention favoring Mr. Kurhes
for the Republican nomination, be
cause he felt he was much the safest
candidate. He predicted that the Uni
versity appropriation bill would carry
in Portland two to one. W. A. Will
iams, of Portland, who will be a can
didate for Presidential elector on the
Republican ticket, prophesied an over
whelming vote for the university.
The sentiment of the meeting was
decidedly against Statement No. 1. and
every effort will be made to eliminate
No. 1 men. Although a number of
Statement No. 1 men were present,
they did not discuss the issue. C. J.

WINS COUP WITH PROXIES
Schuebel Passes Statement Xo. 1
Resolution In Clackamas. -
OREGON CITY. Or.. Feb. 29. Taking
advantage of the light attendance, and
of the fact that C. Schuebel, chairman
of the Republican. County Central Com
mittee, was in possession of five prox
ies, the adherents of Statement No. 1
this afternoon pushed through the com
mittee a resolution declaring the senti
ment of the committee to be in favor
of electing United States Senators by
the people, as embodied in Statement
No. 1. The resolution was presented at
the close of the meeting by George W.
Dixon, of Can by, himself a candidate
for the Legislature on a Statement No.
1 platform. Out of a ctal membership
of 39, there were only ten votes on
the floor, and these were evenly di
vided, and Mr. Schuebel immediately
declared the resolution carried by rea
son of his proxies.
The committee met for the sole pur
pose' of arranging for a county con
vention to elect delegates to the state
convention. Just as soon as Mr.
Schuebel had declared the meeting
opened. John Glbsonf of Harmony Pre
cinct, was on his- feet and presented
the following resolution:
Whereas, It is the desire of the members
of the Republican party In Oregon that a
Republican United States Senator should be
elected from Oregon at the next session of
the. Legislature; and ,
Whereas. It is the unanimous desire of the
members of the Republican . party of Oregon
to indicate at the polls tbelr preference for
a candidate of their own party to- fill the said
high office, and to be elected thereto at the
next session of the Oregon Legislature; and
Whereas. It Is the moral duty of the I
publican members of the Legislature to vole
for tbat candidate of the Republican party
for United States Senator for whom a prefer
ence baa been expressed by the Republican
voters of. the State of Oregon; cow. there
fore, be it
Resolved. That it is the sentiment of the
Republican County Central Committee of the
County of Clackamas that . all candidates for
the Legislature -on the Republican ticket fil
ing petitions for nomination at the primaries
should sign a modified form of Statement
No. 1 which will bind such candidate, if
nominated and elected, to always vote for
that Republican candidate for- United States
Senator tn Congress who shall receive ' the
highej"t number of the people's votes for that
position at the general- election next preced
ing the election of a Senator In Congress,
without regard to eueh candidate' indi
vidual preference.
The Gibson resolution was discussed
at some length and finally, at the sug
gestion of .Representative Campbell,
the resolution was withdrawn by Mr.
Gibson in the interest of harmony". It
was supposed that the incident was
closed, but considerable feeling had
been created and was not lessened by
passage' of a resolution adopting
the suggestion of Chairman Westgate,
of the State Central Committee, that
the Republicans request the County
Clerk to have a blank line printed on
the primary ballot to enable the voters
to indicate their choice for President.
County Clerk Greenman, however, can
find no authority in the primary elec
tion law which will allow him to place
any such proposition on the ballot.
In the afternoon the committee fixed
Saturday, April 25, as the, date for
holding primaries to select delegates
to the county convention. There will
be one delegate-at-large to every pre
cinct and one delegate for every 30
votes' and major fraction thereof cast
for Supreme Judge in 1906. The date
for the county convention will be de
termined after the organization of the
County Central Committee to be elect
ed at the primary election.
The result of today's meeting will
tend to solidify the sentiment for and
against Statement-No. 1 in Clackamas
County. Men who have been Republi
cans for a lifetime openly express
their regret at the committee's action,
and declare that their motto is "Re
publicanism for Republicans." Count
ing the vote of Mr.. Schuebel and the
five proxies that he had, there were
only 11 votes in favor of the State
ment, out of a total strength of 39
members on the Central Committee.
ROSEBURG REJECTS IT, TOO
Douglas County Republicans , Turn
Down Statement Xo. 1.
ROSEBURG. Or., Feb. 29. (Special.)
At the meeting of the Republican
central committee of Douglas County,
held in the office of its secretary, Frank
E. Alley, in Roseburg today, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously
passed:
Resolved. That we, the Douglas County Re
publican Central Committee, regard Statement
No. 1 of the direct primary law as a cum
bersome, expensive and unwise method of
nomination as destructive to a representative
form of government, and we therefore con
demn it as being dangerous-, unwholesome and
not conducive to good government or "proper
representation by the people.
As a substitute' for Statement No. 1
the committee favored Republican can
didates for the Legislature pledging
themselves to vote for United States
Senator for the Republican candidate
receiving the most votes at the preced
ing election.
Opposition to Statement No. 1 is con
trary to the views of all Republican
legislative candidates so far as known,
as they have all indorsed the same.

LOW IX RAPID ORDER.
Supreme Court Gives Final Decision
In Famous Grasson Case Aris
ing in South Bend.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 29. (Special.)
The Supreme Court today handed
down a decision in the appeal of Neu
bert and Cooper, of South Bend, against
the South Bend Bank Company, in
which they affirm a judgment favorable
to the bank. The suit was an unusual
one. and was the last of a series due
to the fact that a draft issued in favor
of one" man fell into the hands of an
other of the same name who cashed it.
A draft for $500 was issued to James
Grosson by the First National Bank of
Grand Rapids, Mich., upon the National
Bank of Commerce of New York. Gros
son, of South Bend, tried to negotiate
the draft at the South Bend Bank, but
they refused to buy it. Cooper, as
Grosson was a customer of his, bought
the draft from him. paying l-25 down.
It was then deposited in the bank to
Cooper's credit and the bank Btarted
to collect. It was sent to New Yoit
for collection and in a few days the
bank was notified that it had been paid.
Cooper thereupon bought a draft for
1375 upon the National Bank of Com
merce of Tatoma, payable to James
Grosson, and sent it to the payee at
Seattle.
Grosson sold this draft to Jamison
and McKarland, who turned It over to
the bank for collection. At thl time
OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to Tremble
The surgeon's duties require clear
judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir
reparable damage to the patient.
- When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Illi
nois surgeon conscientiously gave it1
up, and this is his story:
"For years I was a coffee drinker,
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
I could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
"Besides, how could I safely perform
operations with unsteady hands, using
knives and instruments of precision?
When I raw plainly the bad effects of
coffee, I decided to stop it, and three
years ago I prepared some Postum, of
which I had received a sample.
"The first cupful surprised me. It
was mild, soothing, delicious.. At. this
time I gave some Postum to a friend
who was In a similar condition to mine,
from the use of coffee.
"A few days after I met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de
claring he would never return to cof
fee, but stick to Postum. We then or
dered a full supply, and .withiri a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap
peared, blood circulation became nor
mal, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
"My friend became a Postum enthusi
ast, his whole family using it exclu
sively. "It would be .the fault of the one
who brewed Postum if it did not taste
good when served.
"The best food may be spoiled if not
properly inaae. Postum should be boiled
according to directions on the pack
age. Then it is all right, any one can
rely on It. It ought to become the
National drink." "There's a Reason."
