Sharp l ight Is Waged.
Between Cake and Chamberlain a
sharp rampatgn has waged efnee the
primaries, six weeks ago. Cake lias
made the most of his being the Repub
liran 'nominee, but Chamberlain has
subordinated his Democratic nomina
tion as much as he could, following
the non-partisan plan that twice elect
ed him Governor, and as many" times
elected Lane Mayor of Portland.
Connected with this fight has been
the campaign for election of Statement
No. 1 nominees for the Legislature
Independents and Democrats in oppo
sition to anti-statement Republican
candidates. Enough Republican candi
dates arc pledged by Statement No. 1
uml "Republican voters' choice" to
elect Cake, should he win tomorrow's
election.. Rut some 21 of those candi
dates, being pledged to support for
I'nlted States Senator only the Repub
lican voters choice, as expressed In
the primaries, April 17, would not sup
port Chamberlain; consequently. Cham
berlain's followers, aided by some Re
publicans, among them Bourne and
Tl'Ren, have urged election only of
Statement No. 1 Legislators. The Re
publican statement candidates on the
regular ticket number some 35, who,
reinforced by some nine holdover Sena
tors, will Increase the strength of the
Statement No. 1 forces In the Legisla
ture to about 44, or two short of a
majority in joint assembly.
Want Store Legislators.
The Statement No. 1 men, including
of course, Chamberlain's followers,
seek the election of lx or eight In
dependent and Democratic Legislators.
Their favored battle-ground is Wash
ington and Yamhill Counties, where
seven Independents are running
against as many antl-statemcnt Re
publicans. They hope also to win a
place or two in Linn, against two Re
publican antl-statemcnt candidates;
a1o in Jackson and Benton.
The campaign arguments against Cake
and Chemborlain may be summarized as
follows:
Against Cake.
That he is not a consistent champion
'f Statement No. L chiefly because though
professing adherence to that doctrine, he
urges election of Republican candidates
for the Legislature opposed to Statement
No. 1.
That he is not qualified, as is Chamber
lain, by experience and natural aptitude,
to serve Oregon in tho L'nited States
Srn.it'.
Th.it on occasions lie has served tho
Standard Oil ad attorney.
That he has hooked himpelf onto Roose
velt policies and the Republican party for
the sake of election.
That Cake aided the attacks on Fulton
during the primary campaign.
That he was indorsed by an anti
fplatcinent No. 1 convention, yet professes
to be a defender of Statement No. 1.
Against Chamberlain.
That he employs a Japanese house ser
vant, although declaring himself opposed
to trtont.il immigration.
That he vetoed the university J12S.OO0
appropriation bill, in the last legislative
session, alleging it excessive.
That he made too free use of his veto
in many directions, thereby antagonizing
niHny classes ot people.
That he pardoned too many convicts in
the penitentiary.
That the State Land Hoard, of which
he is leading member, sold between 20.000
and 30.000 acres ot school land at $1.25 an
aero during three months prior to May
21, 1903, when an act went inte effect rais
ing the price to (2.50 an acre. It is al
leged that the Governor could have saved
the state much money by withholding the
land from sale until the act went into
effect.
That he assisted school land speculators
to get land which they bought from the
state as non-mineral, but which the state
had no right to receive from the United j
States or to convey, since it was mineral; :
that he caused the state to refund the !
speculators the money they had paid the
state, with interest, and aided them in
securing the land from the United States
with regular Government entries this
whole transaction revealing a connection
between the speculators and Chamber
lain. Thai W. E. Thomas, Chamberlain's law
partner, acting as Land Agent for Mult
nomah County, loaned and collected
school money, receiving commissions
thereto!.
That James W. Morrow, State Land
Agent appointed by Chamberlain be
tween the time he was commissioned
and took office, engineered and ob
tained nine claims to school land in
Morrow County worth (100,000, for
which he paid the state (6100.
That Chamberlain's success tomor
row would imperil Statement 1 be
cause it might drive Republican Legis
lators, bound by the pluedge, to re
pudiate it, to escape voting for him.
That election of Chamberlain, a
Democrat, would startle the Nation
and weaken the Republican party in
National politics.
That Roosevelt wants Cake elected,
and not a Democrat.
That Chamberlain lent aidtoHeney's
attacks on Fulton.
That Chamberlain has not been r.o
much an advocate of Statement 1 as a
candidate for the office.
Says County Is Cake's.
Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the
Republican county central committee,
forecasted the election of the entire
Republican ticket last night in the fol
lowing statement:
"H. M. Cake is certain to carry Mult
nomah County by a margin that will
insure his election by a good, round
majority when the vote from the out
lying counties has been reported. As
to the rest of the ticket, there exists
no question of the re-election of Sheriff
Stevens by a substantial majority.
Cameron and Morrow will both defeat
their opponents. The Republican Leg
islative candidates will be elected, the
only question being the size of their
majorities."
But the Democrats are not satisfied
with their predicted election of Gov
ernor CHamberlain for Senator. They
are confidently expecting to re-elect
District Attorney Manning and Circuit
Judge O'Day, and with Tom Word hope
to displace Sheriff Stevens. There is
not much activity in betting circles.
Considerable Chamberlain money has,
been posted but there are not many
takers. There is also some betting on
the District Attorneyship, while
Stevens money at 2 to 1 Is deposited
at various places and but little of it
being taken.
Thomas Also Is Confident.
George H. Thomas, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
last night made the following state
ment: "Governor Chamberlain unquestion
ably will carry Multnomah County by a
good majority, but I hardly think it
will reach 1500. We will re-elect Dis
trict Attorney Manning . and Circuit
Judge O'Day and will elect Tom Word
Sheriff. As to the legislative ticket,
W. C. Farnham, for State Senator; A.
King Wilson, for Joint Representative,
and D. F. Campbell, for Representative,
should be elected. They are all State
ment No. 1 men. and since the Repub
licans made that the issue and nom
inated only men who subscribed to the
statement, we believe our nominees
WARNS AGAINST ELECTION
tRAl'DS.
Titrlct Attorney Manning- yesterday
iftFued a warning against Illegal vot
ing, particularly calling the atten
tion of election officials to the
statutes and inviting their co-operation
against the possibility ot frauds.
The warning la ae follows:
"I desire to call attention to Sec
tion 1903 of the code, relating to
offenses against the suffrage:
" 'Section 1903 If any person shall
vote, or offer to vote at any legally
authorized election in this state,
knowing himself not entitled by law
to vote thereat, or shall vote, or of
fer to vote, at any poll or In any
precinct at any such election, know
ing himself not entitled to vote at
such poll or In such precinct, such,
person, upon conviction thereof, shall
be punished by Imprisonment in the
County Jail not less than three months
nor more than one year, or by fine not
less than S100 nor more than (500.'
"Fraud in none of its forms will
be permitted at the general election
Monday. June 1, and in any Instance
where it may be detected I shall
prosecute the offender as by law re
quired. 'I wish to sour.d specific caution
with a view to deterring any attempt
at colonization of voters or the voting
ot any Benson not entitled to vote, by
means of false freeholders, affidavits.
"I respectfully advise tha Judges and
clerks of election to be particularly
upon their guard in all precincts
wherein local matters are at issue."
should bo elected. We are also hope
ful that Oglesby Young, candidate for
Railroad- Commissioner, . will be suc
cessful." Bills Before the People.
Initiative and referendum bills of
large importance to the state are pre
sented for enactment. The most far
reaching In its effect is a constitutional
amendment initiated for a modified
single tax, but as a united fight against
It has been made all over the state, its
enactment is unlikely. The (125.000
annual appropriation for tho State
University a referendum bill of the
legislature is a measure over which
there has been a "igorous fight on
both sides, and for whose passage the
outlook is favorable.
In Multnomah County, the powers of
the Port of Portland will be enlarged
so as to include pilotage and towage
on the Columbia River bar. by an Ini
tiative bill, presented for the vote of
tho affected district.
Salmon Factions In Fight.
A bitter fight between "salmon" fac
tions ot the Columbia River for enact
ment of two opposing bills under the
initiative has drawn the attention of
the state Xa the rivalry between fish
eries and their attempt to restrict or
abolish each other. It is the general
opinion that the bills should be re
jected together, since each seeks the
benefit of Us own faction, to the detrl-

ment of its rival. Another Important
measure is that for woman suffrage
a constitutional amendment now of
fered the third time for the popular
vote.
In all, there are 19 measures to be
voted on by the state at large, for both
constitutional amendments and statu
tory acts. Among , the others is an
amendment . for proportional repre
sentation, presented originally by W.
S. U'Ren. Another, known as the, home
rule amendment, offered by Mayor J.
F. Reddy, of Medford, would allow
towns to legalize Sunday saloons and
race-track gambling.
Proposed Change in Court.
One more proposed amendment of
big importance is that giving the Leg
islature unlimited power to increase
the number of Justices of the Supreme
Court a change that would put the
Supreme Court wholly in the power of
t'ne Legislature.
Bills of lesser importance, but of big
Interest, are: To increase pay of Leg
islators from (3 a day to (10; to permit
location of state institutions elsewhere
than at Salem; to change the time of
biennial elections from June to Novem
ber; to give Sheriffs the custody of
county prisoners and allow the feeding
of prisoners in Multnomah to the
Sheriff at 1214 cents a meal; to com
pel transportation companies to give
public officers free passes; to appro
priate (100,000 for militia armories; to
enact the "recall'' system of removing
unpopular public officers; to Instruct
members of the Legislature to vote
for the "people's choice" for United
States Senator; to limit campaign ex
penses of candidates and compel pub
licity thereof? to create the County of
Hood River out of the western portion
of Wasco County.
MAXXIXG MEN" SCEXT RUSE
Declare Altered Copy of Bolo Ticket
Was Distributed.
An eleventh-hour trick in political
jugglery came to light late yesterday
afternoon, according to claims made by
the friends of District Attorney Man
ning. This Is the way it was done, ac
cording to the Manning champions:
Early this week a meeting was held
bythe Bolo Club, an organization made
up of Spanish War Veterans. Several
candidates were indorsed by this club,
among them District Attorney Manning,
for re-election. A ticket was Immedi
ately printed and started in circula
tion. This boom for the District Attorney
fell like a bomb in the Cameron camp
and there were tilings doing among
friends of the Police Judge. Late yes
terday afternoon another ticket, pur
porting to be one emanating from :he
Bolo Club, appeared on the streets.
But on this one the name of Manning
was dropped and that of Cameron sub
stituted. The Manning managers
marge the ruse to the Cameron crowd,
and the whole matter will probable be
laid before the Bolo Club at a called
meeting.

CAMPAIGN JS VIGOROUS
Local Option Men "Will Make Hard
light on Knst Side.
The "local option campaign on the
East Side is being vigorously carried
on. The saloon question is to be
voted on Monday in 17 of the East Side
precincts. Some weeks ago the tem
perance forces started a movement for
an "All Kast Side'' campaign, but this
petition was held by the County Court
to be irregular. Meanwhile the saloon
men and their friends filed a petition
calling a local option election in the
17 precincts on the East Side of this
city and two precincts in St. John in
which the liquor business was most
strongly intrenched feeling certain
that they would win the election. The
temperance forces already had a well
organized'Committee consisting of rep
resentatives from nearly all of the
churches in the entire city and this
committee concluded ten days ago to
give the saloonmen who called this
election the "surprise of their lives."
A house-to-house canvass has been
made and a very careful record kept,
which shows a remarkably strong sen
timent against the saloon. The object
of this canvass was not only to discov
er as far as practicable the sentiment
of the voters, but also with a view of
definitely locating people who were
not registered so as to prevent any at
tempts at colonizing men to be sworn
in on election day. The information
now in the hands of the general com
mittee rs most interesting and such as
to prevent a- .recurrence of the inci
dents at Sellwood two years ago.
At the several polling places a "rep
resentative of the committee will take
an accurate description of each man
who attempts to swear in his vote, and
a list of tho freeholders who may cer
tify to his residence and right to vote,
and these will be turned into the Dis
trict Attorney the next day after elec
tion and, since the District Attorney
has already declared himself against
illegal voting, it will be unwise for
any one to attempt it in these pre
cincts. Cameras will be available if
necessary and every means used to se
cure an honest vote. A watch will be
set while the votes are being counted
and any attempts to vitiate or tamper
with the ballots will be summarily
stopped. Much hard and, effective
work has already been done and the
committee will keep right at It until
the vote is in and counted, and it con
fidently hopes that the good people of
the East Side will do their whole duty
creditably and with courage on elec
tion day. The saloonmen and their
friends will be out in force and no
excuse should be deemed sufficient to
keep any man from doing his duty to
his family and his neighbors by voting
right on this saloon question.
Another equally Important question
to be voted on will be the Reddy
amendment. This measure had its
origin with the liquor men and sport
ing men of Portland and not of Med
ford. It is most deceiving In its title
and iniquitous in its purpose and every
good citizen should vote against it.

by F. C. Oxnian.
HEPPNER, Or., May 30. (Special.) F.
C. Oxman shipped a train of 35 cars
"of sheep to South Omaha to graze in

Mr. Oxman bought quite extensively here
this Spring, being next to Rea Bros., of
Montana in purchases. These sheep are
all mutton sheep and will he fatted at
Rock River and this Fall loaded on tho
cars and marketed in Omaha.
This is the last shipment of any con
sequence and practically closes the sheep
market for this season. The price is from

year.
