wu TO BRING
FORCES TOGETHER
Peacemakers Strive to Unite
Two Rival Republican
Factions.
MAY COMBINE ON TICKET
Kneinles of Statement No. 1 Fear
Results of Continued Strife in
Party Opposition Is Casting
About for ' Candidates.
Prospect of wo rival anti-Statement
No. 1 Republican tickets in Mult
nomah County is encouraging the
statement forces and efforts are mak
ing in the two rival camps to cease
quarreling o that the Hodson-Beaeh-Balley-Skhel
group and the Idleman-HavlB-Drakf
-Col well element may
dwell in pjice. The statement forces
led by V. S. U'Ren, Thomas MrCusker
and Arthur Orton, are looking about
for strong material for a ticket, "hop
ing that the factional rivalry of their
opponent may defeat them both.
The two rivals made some -progress
toward peace last Friday and Satur
day, when the Ilodson runtlngent, after
U'Ren's withdrawal from the race for
Senator, came over to the Idleman
amp, to the extent of adopting its
platform, pledging members of the
Legislature to support the Republican
voters' choice for Senator the demand
of the Republican County Convention
of February 119. But the two factions
ss yet have been unable to unite on
one ticket.
The H orison-Beach contingent has
put up a complete ticket, but the Idle-man-Davia
group has selected only two
candidates Dr. Emmet Drake and E.
B. Colwell, both for the State Senate.
Thcae two men it would like to have
placed on the hoped-for compromise
Senate ticket; also several others on
the compromise House ticket. This
would neceitate "pulling down" sev
eral members of the Uodson-Beach
ticket, to make room for representa
tives of the Idleman-Davis crowd, and
that's where the rub comes.
Matter I p to HocLson Mou. .
"If the Hudson folks would only
make some such offer as that," said
ft leader of thV opposing ranks yester
day, "it would be easy to get us to
gether. Since the Hodwon-Beach men
came over to our platform, we have
no further fight to make on them. But
If they want to unite with us on one
ticket they ought to pull down some
of their candidates, so that there shall
be room for others than their own
candidates."
Not all the Idle-man-Davis camp,
however, would be satisfied with a
compromise ticket. T. J. Qnimby. Max
i. Cohen and J ames Kertchen are
clamoring for an opposition ticket and
for war to the hilt with the Hodson
Bearh faction.
"The menace of U'Ren" Is the key
note of an announcement made to Re
publicans of Multnomah County yester
day by candidates of the Hodson
Reach ticket. The announcement says
that since U'Ren has withdrawn, "none
but known Republicans are now candi
dates" for the United States Senator
ship, and "we therefore amend our dec
laration statements to read that we
will, if , elected, support for United
States Senator the Republican voters'
choice for that office." The Hudson
Beach candidates also pledge them
selves to support the successful Re
publican nominees of the primaries.
The statement Is as follows:
Text of the Statement.
IWilrtnd, Or.. Maivh 14. IftnS.
To thm Republicans of Multnomah County:
We. the undersigned Republican,, who filed
drelnratton as legislative candidates for nom
ination en tho lie publican ticket about March
10. wlgned a statement to the effect that if
elected we would support the people's choice
for Inked States tft-nutor tY he were a Re
publican. At the recent Vounty Convention
all legislative candidates were instructed
not to eiin any pl.dge or statement which
would bind- them to eu iport a Dent ocra t ,
Populist or Socialist for that office. At that
time one V. S. t"R-n, representing himself
to be a Republican, nad declared himself to
be a candidate for the Republican nomination
for Senator. We knew him to be everything
else but a Republican. We also knew that
a very large percentage of tho Democrats
of the county were registering as Republi
cans with the avowed purpose of voting for
alleged Republicans who advoiare and sup
port Democratic rather than Republican prin
viplea. In order t guard again being
pledged to ii'!rt I Km. in tne evtnt he
should l MK-trfful by this lJeniucratie
ex-heme in securing the largest number of
otes. we dded t. our ttrtttr mente the saving-
clause that we would support the" peo
ple' choice onlv if he were a Republican.
This would have forever barred I' Rcn from
consideration by us, as he is pot. by his own
admiMior.H, a RepuMi.-sn. This is confirmed
by a statement matte by him in a public ad
dress deliwred by him In South Portland on
March IS, to the enVct that he would change
parties as often as to him seemed expedient.
This hat been his policy throughout his ca
reer. We felt we could umier no circum
atancea even take tho chance of having to
vupport him for that ofrtce, should he by
any means secure the largest number of
votes while claiming to be a Republican
and running at the Republican primaries. As
soma Republicans and all Democfats reg
istered as Republicans would vote for him,
there could be no means of knowing who
th- Republican voters' choice might be, as
lenuHTtu- votes would thus be as potent a
factor in determining a to who should be
the Republican nominee as would Republican
VCffS.
Mnce filing our tatemenTe. this menace has
been removed by the withdrawal of U'Rr n
from the rc i hereby doing away with the
p.wibthty of cur hexing ;o stultify ours
a Republicans hy sirvceirc to vote for such
ax he. even though he should, by repreeknting
himself to he a Republican, succeed in se
curing the largest number of votes. As none
but known iei'ubllcjins ar now candidate
for that office, we therefore amend our dec
laration statements to read that we will. If
fleeted, support for t'ni;ed Staica Senator
the Republican veers' choice for that ofnVe.
In this connection we further pledge our
elves to loyally support all the ucceyful
Republican nominee at the geniral election.

. The problem of the unemployed Is
still with us. although not in the same
proportion, as far as the single men
are concerned. The number of applica
tions from families is, however, in
creasing, indicating that the little sav
ings have been exhausted, and the head
of the family being out of work, our
office must help to tide over until work
can be found. The following case is a
typical one: . -
A man, wife and three children were
sent" to us by the police no money, no
food, rent overdue and imj wood. The
necessities were immedlately-peovlded.
and odd jobs found for tho man. With
the money thus earned he paid his back
rent. The Associated Charities paid
two weeks rent in advance, and sent
the man out to a neighboring town to
a job. Until he was able to send for
his family, we cared for them, provid
ing food, wood, clothing, medical at
tendance, and finally transportation to
send therrt to the father. . There have
been many such cases since the panic,
aiw we have held steadily tOthe prin
ciple that the truest charity is that
which "helps a man to help himself."
Application of .this principle has at
times been difficult, as there are those
who have tried to use the hard times
as a reason for being supported.
The work done by the work gang of
the Associated Charities will be visible
in the green lawns and the blooming
roses oT the park blocks next Summer;
the men have spaded up the whole
length of the park blocks and planted
all the roses; they have worked for
several weeks past In Columbia Park,
the City Park, as well as in Hollaaay
Park. But the better work has been
done for the men themselves giving
them an opportunity to earn their
nuals and lodgings it has kept them
out of jail; it has kept many of "them
from being pauperized through being
clothed and fed hy those with frhom
charity is a sentiment rather than a
religion. The work test for the able
bodied man gives him a chance to re
tain his self-respect, and also has the
effect of weeding nut those who have
no self-respect to retain, and need an
other kind of treatment. This plan of
caring for our unemployed has cost
the Associated Charities about $5&00, an
amount equal to the annual budget in
ordinar' times. '

HEAL LORD IS PORTLAND
GLERAWLltY, OS LONG TRIP,
-. VISITS CITY.
Sou of Irish Peer Traveling Incos
AV111 Round Cape Horn on
Crown of Germany.
Traveling incog and shunning formal
entertainment of every description while
in the city. Lord Glerawlry, eldest son
and heir of Iord Annsesley. the well
known Irish peer, is making a tour of the
Western - Hemisphere. Lord Glerawlry
spent -yesterday in Portland. He spoke
of his trip, very briefly and paid a num
ber of compliments to Portland. He
crossed the Atlantic on tho Mauretania
and came across the continent on the
Canadian Pacific. He spent some time in
the British Columbia cities, then came di
rect to Portland.
The most Interesting part of Lord Gle
rawlry's trip Is yet to come, for he will
board the British bark Crown of Germany
at Astoria today for the voyage back to
Falmouth. England. Lord Glerawlry has
a taste for adventure, and intends to get
away from the beaten paths of travel for
a while. The bark will sail around Cape
Horn and the voyage will consume about
five months.
During his stay in Portland Lord Gle
rawlry spent' considerable time as the
guest of Captain Kennealy, of the Jordan
I Hill. The ship lies at Llnnton, and trips
I between his hotel and the lumber town
to the north occupied most of his time
yesterday. He left the city for Astoria
last night.
Lord Glerawlry is an unsophisticated
and boyish-looking young man of 22 years.
He seems quite well satisfied with the
world, and with himself, and well he may,
for if he survives his father he will have
a seat in the House of Lords and thou
sands of broad acres and a stately castle
on the ancestral estates in the County
Down.
'Portland reminds me verv much of
! England." said Lord Glerawlry, who
speaks with a drawling lisp. "The cli
mate here Is so much like our own. I
must say that it has been rather wet here
for the pas two days. I have been
soaked to the skin much of the time I
I had a good trip and expect a pleasant
journey tacn. t he voyage will be long,
but I do not think I shall mind that."
He declined to discuss politics, but ad
mitted that he entertained strong con
victions. "Ireland is very prosperous at
present, and the home rule agitation Is a
dead issue," was his opinion, delivered
with great certitude.

COLE ENTERS- RACE
Asks Republican Nomination
for District Attorney.
STANDS ON HIS RECORD
Points With Pride to Official Acts
While Assistant Federal Pros- "
ecutor Depends on His -Friends
In Fight.
James Cole, ex-United States Attorney,
yesterday responded to the urgent re
quest of his friends and became a candi
date for the Republican nomination for
District Attorney. Mr. Cole Is the sixth
aspirant among the Republicans for this
nomination, and, being without sufficient
funds to make a vigorous campaign of
the Fourth Judicial District, says he will
depend largely on the personal efforts of
his friends, who have given himmuefi
encouragement.
While assistant to United States Attor
ney Bristol Mr. Cole made an enviable
record asa vigorous prosecutor when he
secured the indictment of about 300 mem
bers of the Northwest furniture trust, a
majority of whom pleaded guilty and paid
fines into the United States Court. He
also scored another success when he
brought about the conviction of the gang
that robbed the Sellwood postoffice more
than a year ago. Tje rirtgleaders were
sent to McNeil's Island for long terms
of years.
Mr. Cole, if nominated and elected, pro
poses strictly to enforce the Sunday-Closing
laws, the gambling laws and' the
statutes generally.
"I expect to conduct a clean campaign,
free from all unfair tactics, and I can as
sure the people of the district that if
they nominate and elect me to the office
I shall fulfill every pledge I submit In
my announcement, which is as follows":
.. Text of His Platform. .
In declaring myself a candidate for the
Republican nomination for District At
torney for the Fourth Judicial District,
it Is my destre to express confidence in
and mv purpose to apply the spirit of
American fair play as a controlling fac
tor in the politics and the administration
of public business of this community.
Commercial conditions of the age, gen
eral habits and business conduct have
permitted the game of every day life to
become complex and it is daily becom
ing unusual. But the solution Is simple
when the purpose and policy of all offi
cers of the law are to enforce the rules
which govern this game so as to protect
society and individuals against the
offenses and depredations committed by
those whose avarice or v4ciousness
jeopardize the safety of that society and
those Individuals. Special interests,
whether of business or politics, have no
place or voice in the enforcement of laws
wherever or whenever that place or voice
is used to that interest.
Therefore my purpose and policy, if the
Republican voters of this judicial district
nominate and elect me as the next Dis
trict Attorney, will be:
1. To exhaust every effort to secure to
every person, in ' public or private life,
fair and impartial treatment and the pro
tection guaranteed by the laws and con
stitution of this state, and to secure to
the public the public service to which
it Is entitled.
2. To enforce the Sunday closing laws.
3. To enforce the gambling laws.
4. To do my best to convict every per
son practicing medicine or surgery in an
unlawful manner.
6. To enforce the laws we have for the
protection of minors, both boys and girls.
6. To enforce the laws of this state
relating to labor.
7. To enforce the laws generally.
Club for Grafters.
8. To carefully Investigate grafting and
bribery rumors and If evidence of graft
ing or bribery sufficient to secure and
sustain convictions can be found to
prosecute the offenders.
I am not now pledged, bound or
promised to any faction, nor will I be
come so in any matter concerned with
my office or official career. Office should
not ' be sought or occupied for private
advantages or private honor, but I do
consider that honest purpose and zeal
to acquire and retain a reputation as a
lawyer In a public position frees such
position from undue Influences, political
or otherwise and provides a stimulus to
every citizen's satisfaction in the per
formance of duty.
Lastly, I desire the public to under
stand that I am a Republican and that
If elected, no political influences or
political ambitions will be permitted by
me to control or interfere with the duties
of the office of District Attorney, and I
will exert my utmost to resist and de
stroy such control or interference, to the
end that this community may have the
full Benefit and protection of the laws.
SUGGESTS A JOINT CAXVASS
Henry S. Westbrook Challenges His
Opponents to Make Campaign.
Henry S. Westbrook, candidate for the
Republican nomination for District At
torney, yesterday issued a proposal to
his opponents for the nomination sug
gesting a joint canvass of the county.
The proposal was issued before James
Cole had announced his candidacy and
was addressed to the other candidates for
the nomination, they being Gus C. Moser.
Roger B. Sinnott, George J. Cameron and
J. N. Davis. Mr. Westbrook's letter fol
lows: The perpetuity of the direct primarv
law depends upon the ability of the peo
ple to judge well of the qualifications and
character of those who aspire to public
favor.
This exercise of ability depends upon
their opportunity to judge, and the peo
ple to select the best man for the right
place should be afforded the fullest and
freest opportunity for investigation of
our merits and worth.
I believe a joint campaign of the re
spective candidates for the office of Dis
trict Attorney of the Fourth Judicial Dis
trict would give the voters this oppor
tunity and at the same time would enable
us to place before the public the prin
ciples in which we believe, and for which
we would stand.
Being a candidate for this important
office. I therefore suggest that we make
a joint campaign of this district and I
Invite you to arrange with me an itin
erary of this countv.
Famham Would Be Senator.
Walter C. Farnham yesterday an
nounced himself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination at the primaries
for State Senator. Mr. Farnham favors
tlw enactment of laws that will safe
guard the rights and interests of the
greatest number of people. He indorses
Statement No. 1 and popular govern
ment. For a number of years Mr. Farn
ham was engaged as a broker and manufacturers-
agent in this city, but has
been employed more recently as a com
mercial traveler.
Bruin Opens Detective Agency.
Patrick Bruin, inspector of police, who
lately resigned, claiming he was re
strained from doing his duty because
Mayor Lane was protecting the criminal
classes, has gone into the detective busi
ness for himself. He appeared at the
Courthouse yesterday afternoon and se
cured a warrant authorizing him to serve
as a peace officer. The warrant was ap-
proved by Sheriff Stevens' and later Bruin
was sworn In by County Clerk Fields.
Will Expose U'Ren Tonight.
The retirement of W. S. U'Ren, of Ore
gon City, as a Senatorial candidate, has
not satisfied J. D. Stevens, a former co
worker with the Clackamas County man.
Having gone to the expense of engaging
the Selling-Hirsch hall for tonight, Mr.
Stevens expects to get some satisfaction
out of the investment and will deliver
an address on U'Ren,' relating what- ne
knows of the record of the "lawgiver."
Mx. Stevens will 'make his promised ex
posure beginning at 8 o'clock tonight.
Democrats Plan Talk f est.
- The three Democratic clubs of Port
land have arranged for a talkfest at
Alisky hall next Thursday night. The
real purpose of the meeting, it is an
nounced, is to arouse enthusiasm among
delinquent voters and induce them to
register. E. S. J. McAllister will be the
principal speaker, although a number of
other prominent Democrats are expected
to contribute to ' the enthusiasm of the
occasion.
- Total Registration 20,360.
Registration kept up quite steadily
throughout the last week, and two clerks
were kept busy at the Courthouse, al
though a far bigger rush of unregistered
voters was looked for. When the books
closed last night 15.577 Republicans had
qualified to vote, as had 3433 Democrats
and 1011 miscellaneous, making a total
to date of 20.360. The bookp are still be
ing kept open nightly until 9 o'clock.
CITY WILL HAVE TO. BUY
Mayor Doubts Phone Companies Can
Be Forced to Purchase Cables.
Mayor Lane yesterday addressed a com
munication to the members of the Fire
Committee of the City Executive Board,
requesting them to investigate and ascer
tain whether or not the city can fores
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany and the Home Telephone Company
to furnish the proper kind of underground
"conductors" for the Fire Department.
This seems an indication that he intends
to fight the City Council on its own bat
tle ground, as Councilman Driscoll re
cently.made the charge that the Mayor
and his administration advisers had spent
about 30,900 needlessly for cables.
Mayor Lane believes that the city will
probably have to buy its own cables and
"conductors" for underground purposes,
as he says the - representatives of the
telephone companies assert they cannot
be compelled, under the provisions of
their franchises, to furnish such quality
and style of material as is used by the
City Electrician for tlie Fire Depart
ment. The style if wire used is alto
gether different.
CONTRIBUTE LESS TO CITY
Chinese Gamblers ray Smaller Total
In Fines Than Heretofore'.
Unprecedented falling off in receipts
from Chinese Rambling raids is the sub
ject of considerable inquiry and not a
little comment. Tho report of Municipal
Clerk Hennessy shows that in November
the city netted J1560 in fines from Chinese
arrested for gambling. In December the
raids ceased to a large extent for un
known reasons and the receipts dropped
to $757. January witnessed a little boom,
the receipts jumping to $9. but falling
down again last month to J730.
Local Chinese recently agreed to pay
the city $1500 a month for immunity from
raids of fantan and lottery, but the offer
was not accepted. Detectives Kay and
Kienlen, formerly of the Chinatown
quad. admit that the Chinese frequently
tried to buy them off, on one occasion
offering them $600 a month, with the priv
ilege of making one or two raids a week.
The offer was made through the agency of
a local attorney and was not accepted.
