ROBINSON TO TAKE STUMP
Purposes to Tell People of Washing
ton How He Thinks Office or
Executive Should Be
Administered.
OI.TMPIA. Aug. 1. (Special.) J. W.
Robinson, of this city, apparently will
ke the first of the candidate for Re
publican (rubcrnatorlal honors to at
tempt to hold purely political meet
ing and address the voters from the
platform.
Heretofore the appearances of the
irubernatorlal candidates in public
have been at gatherings that would
nave been held without the attendance
of candidates, with the exception of
possibly one or two in Whatcom
County.
Candidates have been backward
about starting on stump-speaking trips
because of the apathy of the -voters in
ome sections and the fact that this
the busy period in farming communi
ties.
Mead Men Fear Lark of Crowds.
The Mead supporters have been dls
tusning the matter, but have feared to
- have the Oovernor start out with the
Uncertainty of petting any great num
ber of voters out to bear him. This
fear Is not because the candidate Is
rjovernor Mead, but because it is be
lieved the turnouts would not be large
lo hear anv candidate for- Governor.
to attempt to hold two or three polit
ical meetings and have them frosts
would furnish capital for the other
candidates who had not tried It them
selves. Kobinson to Take Lead.
Judge Robinson has been waiting for
;he other candidates to start out on
tpeaklng tour, but is now tired of
n-Hltinp and will take the lead" hint
lelf. Ills opening address of the cam
paign will be delivered in either Olym
pla. Centralla or Aberdeen within a
few days and the itinerary planned
nc tides also Vancouver, Walla Walla,
Colfax. Spokane, North Yakima and
Tacoma In about the order named. The
end of the campaign will be spent in
Pierce and King Counties.
In a statement given to the press
today Judge Robinson says that he
will give the people of this state "facts
with reference to certain officials and
their conduct in office which will as
tonish all those who believe in honesty
and decency in official life."
. Scheme of Mead's Friends.
The believed'to-be almost impossible
feat of getting the voters out to a
purely political meeting caused an at
tempt to be made to make the laying
of the cornerstone of the Governor's
mansion in this city today a gathering
of semi-political Import. The commit
tee having in charge the celebration
invited Governor Mead to deliver the
principle address and the Governor has
accepted. A few days ago friends of
some of the other candidates suggested
to the committee that It would add In
terest to the event if all the other
gubernatorial candidates of both par
ties were also Invited to be present and
deliver short addresses. The committee
turned down the suggestion.
Later an attempt, to secure the pres
ence of the other candidates was In
stituted by Olympla men not connected
with arranging the programme for the
day. It was planned to take all of
them to the grounds in an open car
riage with a rearrangement that the
uninvited candidates would be called
for by numerous men in the audience.
This plan failed because the candidates
refused to enter Into the scheme.
Olympla is supposed to be a Mead
stronghold and the men In charge of
the celebration are business men who J
feel under obligations to him for his i
veto of the rapltol removal bill in 19J5.
An attempt to divide the honors of the
occasion with other candidates, if car
ried out. undoubtedly would have re
sulted In lively times at the gathering.
Statement by Robinson.
Judge Robinson will likely have to
start his campaign on crutches, as the
result of the fracture of his ankle sev
eral weeks ago. His statement follows
in part: ' . . .
I believe tha the Governor of this state
ought to b .nnrresive .n his demands
upon th- Lrrilature In the interest of
the people because he is the executive
and hence the official head of all the
people; and he should know their needs
and wishes and -should see to it that the
legislature enacts such laws and If
nominated and- elected Governor I prom
ise thr the -legislature will not overlook
Its duties to tite people without a scrap
from me. and the. citizens -of this state
hall know what members of the Ivsls
ture. if any. violate their confidence.
I firmly -believe that the Governor of
the state should keep In touch with not
only what o- on in the Legislature but
as well what Is done by public officials,
and that wherever he Is satisfied that
there Is Corruption or Improper influences
being -used, or scandals connected with,
the administration of the affairs of state,
he should make a thorough Investigation
and Vu the people know who are faithful
to their trusts. I d not. mean that a
Governor Ought to boss the Legislature
or anybody else no spirit of that kind:
but I do believe that he ought to se to
it that the Legislature does its duty
to the people and that there shall be no
dishonesty or corruption or neglect of
duty among state officials.
There r a number of subjects con
nected with the administration of the
affairs of this state which I desire to
talk over with the people during this
campaign. There are a great many In
stances of abuse and neglect of official
duty, and dishonesty and corruption In
office of a few state and county officials
in this state, which have come to my
knowledge, and I'll not hesitate to dis
cuss these matters with the people In a
perfectly candid and fearless manner.
ALBANY FIRE LOSS $10,000
Daylight Estimates Cot Down Fig
ures at Iron Foundry.
A LB ANT. Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) An
examination this morning of the plant
of the Albany Iron Works, a large por
tion of which was wrecked by fire last
night, shows that the valuable ma
chinery In the machine shop of the plant
has suffered very little damage and this
will reduce the first estimates of the
loss. State Senator Frank J. Miller, sec
i etary-treasurer of the company, who
!:ist night placed the loss at K0.000.
thinks, after a daylight examination of
the plant, that the loss will not greatly
exceed $10,000. The total Insurance car
i :-d on the plant was t?500. but It has
tot been determined by tie adjusters
how much of this will directly cover
the part of the plant burned.
The main building of the plant, which
was a wooden structure, was composed
of three buildings Joined together with
out intervening walls, forming two long
ells. This contained the molding-room,
or foundry, the machine shop and office.
The molding-room was completely de
stroyed and only the frame work stands
of the machine shop. The office was
only partially gutted. Tue patternmak
Ing shop and the blacksmith shop, both
of which were completely destroyed, were
In separate buildings adjoining the mold
ing-room. Though the machine shop was
entirely gutted, constant streams of
water were kept on the valuable machin
ery of the plant and that accounts for
the relatively small loss caused by the
Are.
About 1100 worth of patterns, which
were in use in work then in progress,
were burned. With the exception of
these few. the company's valuable pat
terns, worth J10.000. were all In the big
brick warehouse, the only building of
the' plant which was saved without any
damage.
The announcement made last night
while the flames were still eating up
the plant that it would be rebuilt, has
been repeated today. The officers in
charge of the plant did not desire to
make a definite announcement until a
meeting of stockholders could be held,
but said there was no doubt but that
the burned buildings would be replaced.
The Iron Works did a big business and
is one of Albany's largest industries. It
was the largest foundry in the state out
side of Portland.

EXEMPTION CLAUSE VOID
Household Goods Must Be Taxed
With Other Property.
ASTORIA, Or., Aug. L (Special.) Ac
cording to an opinion received from
State Attorney-General Crawford no ex
emptions for household goods or other
personal property can be allowed on the
1908 assessment roll. Assessor Comeltus
was intending to allow the $300 exemption
In accordance with the law passed at the
recent session of . the . Legislature. To
ascertain, however, if the allowance was
permissible, he wrote to the Attorney
General and today he received an opin
ion from that officer as follows:
Replying to yours of the 24th Inst., rela
tive to the 300 exemption on personal prop
erty, passed at the. last eesslon of the Leg
islature, permit me to say that the Su
preme Court of thl. state held the old art.
which was almost Identical, to be unconsti
tutional and must, therefore, hold the pres
ent act Invalid. Therefore the exemption can
not be allowed on the 118 roll.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 1. f Special.)
There are now three men who have
filed formal declarations of candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor: John Pattison, of Colfax: A. J.
Splawn, of North Yakima, and P. S.
Byrne, of Spokane.
The coming out of Splawn Is directly

the Idea that there is chanc-s for car
rying a part of the stata ticket this Fall
If strong candidates are named. In spite
of the Republican plurality ot 4U,vu in
190. .
At the Tacoma conference the Demo
crats even went so far as to plan the
campaign to tx held after the primaries,
the details to depend upon whom the Re
publicans nominated.
If McBride is the Republican nominee
the Democrats will attempt to make the
liquor question the principal Issue of the
campaign on the ground that McBride.
While Governor, vetoed a local option
bill.
If Mead is the nominee, more atten
tion will be paid to state finances. The
last Legislature, while it undeniably
made large appropriatlonsv also passed
several bills providing for transfers of
funds and changes in the keeping of
the Treasurer's accounts which will pro
vide figures that will puzzle the brain of
anvone but an expert accountant. n
Mead is nominated, both sides will be
able to sling statistics at each other that
111 make tariff figures look like simple
addition.
Cosgrove Looms on Horizon.
Plans so far formulated have not taken
Into account the possibility of the nom
ination of Atkinson or Cosgrove. Cos
grove, although frequently an . aspirant
for office, has never yet held a state
position, and Is not open to attack on
his record. Atkinson has been State
Auditor and is now Attorney-General,
and while he . has had extended legal
and routine connections with all the state
departments, he - has had no executive
control outside of the two offices held. .
The making of the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor a matter of contest
has furnished one source of relief for
the Republicans by eliminating the prob
ability of any great number of . Demo
crats participating In the Republican
primaries. The Democrats would have
preferred a- one-man ticket and the Ta
coma conference, had It been a conven
tion, would have nominated Splawn for
Governor. Pattison was in the way,
however, he. having participated In the
line at the Secretary of State's office and
filed his declaration the. first day.. The
only way to get Splawn on the ticket
was to have him make a contest for the
place. Pattison not being disposed to
withdraw. Byrne has been an avowed
candidate for several months.
In the Republican contest for the Gub
ernatorial nomination the past week has
witnessed the opening tip of the Mead
batteries on Cosgrove. Cosgrove Is now
recognized as being in the danger zone
so far as Mead and McBride are 'con
cerned in the corralling of the bulk of
the first choice votes. '
The Pomeroy veteran has heretofore
been looked upon as a stronger second
choice than first choice candidate. It has
been figured that he would get a good
percentage of the sectjjjd choice ballots
of electors who voted first choice for
Mead or McBride.
Complications on Second Choice. .
The acknowledgment of Cosgrove as a
first-choice vote-getter does not clear up
the situation much, or make predictions
as to the outcome of the primary elec
tion more definite.
If Cosgrove is getting first choice votes
away from Mead and McBride, u con
sequently is true that in so doing he must
give up the second-choice votes the same
voters had been intending to give him. A
first-choice vote won . away from Mead
or McBride, it Is argued, would naturally
go to the voter's second choice favorite.
On this theory Cosgrove's gain Is off-set
by an equal loss, provided, of course, that
the second choice provision becomes op
erative. If he becomes so strong that he
can get 40 per cent of the first-choice
votes the fight is his.
But with the second-choice provision
operative, the question arises as to where
the electors won over to Cosgrove will
cast their second-choice votes. Will they
go back to Mead ac to McBride or will
1 they go to Atkinson or one of the other
candidates?
If they go to Mead or McBride the
situation Is unchanged. If they go else
where Mead and McBride have been
weakened by Cosgrove's gain and the
other candidates have been strengthened.
The indications as seen by politicians
here are that if no appreciable stampede
to any of the present candidates occurs
between now and the primaries the vote
of the party will be pretty well scattered
on the Governorship.
Brings Out Many Candidates.
If this is true the theoretical virtue of
the freak second-choice provision of the
Washington primary Jaw does not exist
in practice. When it was placed in the
act it was argued that it would prevent
the nomination of a candidate by a small
percentage of the vote of his party. It
was claimed that a candidate without
the second-choice provision, with several
running,' might be nominated for office by
a small fraction of the vote of his party
when if he was one of two candidates
only he would get but few more votes
than the number that nominated him in
the other instance.
The practical working of the second
choice provision has been to bring out
twice as many candidates for the office
of Governor as would otherwise have run
and to double the number of votes to be
counted. The average man cannot see
much difference between dividing 200,000
votes among eight men, giving one a
small plurality, and dividing 100,000 votes
among four men and giving one a small
plurality.

Friday night burglars entered the res
idence of James Evars. the banker, Dr,
Newth and Mf-rrhant John Bennett, se
curing about $50. The thieves were ex
perts, because they opened ' screens and
doors and rummaged around like old
hands at the business. At Mr. Evars'
they entered his bedroom, carried his
pants down Into the dining-room, lit a
lamp and rifled his pockets. They also
entered the bedroom of Miss Gllless, a
guest, opened a bureau drawer and took'
her pocketbook. At Dr. Newth's they
secured $28. leaving a pocket knife and
several checks. Mr. Bennett was relieved
of only a small amount.
They also attempted to enter the resi
dence of Rev. J. R. Parker, but were
frightened away. No clue or trace of
the thieves can be found. . There were a
number of tramps and strangers In town
yesterday.
FIGHT ON OCCUPATION TAX
Seaside Residents I n in Arms
Against Action of Council.
'SEASIDE, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
What promises to be a bitter fight is
promised between the City . Council
and the various business and occupa
tion factors of Seaside. The trouble
sprang from ordinance No. 141, which
provides for a. tax on every business
In the city. It is claimed by those op
posed to It that the ordinance Is un
fair in that It does not discriminate
between occupations that involve large
sums of money and those of smaller
amounts. To prove this statement the
sawmill, with a cutting capacity of
60,000 feet a day. Is taxed $25, and a
clothing store doing a small business
is to pay a 115 tax.
Those opposed to the ordinance to
the number . of 30 have signed an
agreement to fight It through all the
courts. The contest will be precipi
tated by the first arrest for a viola
tion of ordinance No. 141.
West Seaside, stirred by the exam
ple of her sister town, promptly met
in Council "and passed a similar ordi
nance. The fight against the West
Seaside ordinance promises to be a
serious one, and a test will be made
as to whether persons who are non
residents can hold office legally In that
little city.
Taken all In all, the two Seasides
promise some excitement in the near
future. It Is said that Senator Fulton
has been retained by those opposed to
the . ordinance, while Mr. Spittle, as
sisted by able counsel, will represent
the city.
BAD YOUTH IS PARDONED
Mathew Kizer, Confirmed Burglar,
Reappears at Long Creek.
LONG CREEK, Or., July 30. Mathew
Kizer, who was sent to the Penitentiary"
last January to serve a two-year sen
tence for burglary, "has been pardoned.
ana appeared in Long creek today.
Kizer is a youth of 15 and has a record
for criminality. Previous to his sentence
he had been on parole for a year for
repeated burglaries and was sent to Sa
lem as a last resort. On the night of
November 27, 1907, he broke into the
Long Creek Mercantile Company's store
and took a quantity of goods. He was
arrested and put in the town Jail. The
night of December 3 the Jail was burned
to the ground and Kizer escaped. . He
was afterwards captured in a running
fight and bound over to the Circuit Court.
The action of the Governor is a com
plete surprise here as no one In Grant
County, except the mother, knew that
such action was pending.

ABERDEEN, Wash.. Augr. 1. (Special.)
While no official announcement of an
Increase In the price of shingles has been
made, yet shingle manufacturers In
Aberdeen are confident that it will be but
a few days bofore the quotations are
raised 10 or 15 cents over the present
price of $1.0 a thousand. The fact that
so many inquiries are being received
here is an indication that the trade Is
assuming briskness and will have a grat
ifying result.
The inquiries are exclusively from the
rail trade, according to a prominent
manufacturer, and this has stimulated
the industry. Coast business, however.
Is said to be at the level that has pre
vailed for some time and dealers are
not expecting an Increase until the Fall.
They are really more certain of the out
looli at this time than they have been
for months past. The output has been
somewhat curtailed and stocks more or
less depleted.
After remaining idle for three months,
the Lumber & Shingle Company at South
Aberdeen will be started up next Thurs
day morning. One hundred men will be
placed at work.
The Aberdeen Lumber & Shingle Com
pany's properties were closed down fol
lowing the financial panic and the de
moralization of the lumber trade. In
the last week, glowing reports of con
ditions on the Coast have been received
and the orders received have been suf
ficiently encouraging to bring about a re
sumption of operations in the lumber
mill.

STOCKMEN M AGGRIEVED
ALLEGE rXFAIR TREATMENT
BV SUPERVISORS.
Declare Tracts Surrounded
Deeded Lands Are In Viola
tion of Agreement.
by
LONG CREEIC. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
A new cause for contention has arisen
In the National Forestry administration,
between the officials and the stockmen.
Considerable deeded land which lies be
tween sections of Government timber land
has been leased by stockmen and there is
dissatisfaction over its control, as the
land is partly and in some cases totally
surrounded by deeded land.
Stockmen claim that supervisors, are
not living up to their promise to block
this land for men who have leased the
range on private lands. The question
of water and trails becomes a serious one
in some localities where Government
pieces and regulations interfere with the
requirements of stock.
It Is also claimed by stockmen that In
the Umatilla National Forest the agree
ment regarding trails into the forest
has been broken and that the Supervisors
do not insist upon stockmen living up
to the agreement, and permit stockmen
to infringe upon each others' rights In
going to and from the mountains.
