CONSTANTINOPLE Sept. (Spe
cial.) While It la lmpoaslbls to give full
dtalla of the plan of campaign to be
followed by the Committee of Union anil
Progress in the comlne elections or to
forecast with any exactitude the number
of Its candidates for Parliament, It Is un
derstood that the following are the gen
eral llnea of lt policy as regards the
nomination and support of candidates.
Such of Its members as fulfill the condi
tions lmnoaed by the electoral law on
would-be deputies and are considered to
possess the necessary moral and Intel
lectual equipment will receive Its tull-sup-port.
The committee, however, will not
abstain from supporting the candidature
, of other persons possessing the qualifi
cations required In cases In which none
of Its own members are standing for
election.
Its atUtuda towards other political or
ganizations, such as those of the Bulgar
ians. Greeeks and Armenians, must de
pend upon their political programmes.
Should they not be opposed to Its own
programme, the committee will, in cer
tain cases, support their candidates. The
organization hits promised to aid the
government by every means in Its power
In securing the- pacific and orderly con
duct of the elections. It will also do Its
utmost to Insure the choice by the elec
tors of' honest and capable representa
tives. While the majority of Its own
candidates will naturally be Turkish Mos
lems, their choice will be determined en
tirely by thheir character and capacity.
In this connection It may be remarked
that the committee's nominees at Sa
lonika and Smyrna are both Israelites.
Candidates of All Races.
The number of the committee's candi
dates Is not yet decided, but It is believed
that a majority of the representatives
of the capital and of the European pro
vinces, where the organization la power
ful and ubiquitous, will be drawn from
Its ranks. In Asia Minor a certain num
ber of seats, as, for example. Brusa,
fimvraa and Kastamuni. will probably be
filled by committeemen, but the commit
tee Is hardly likely to meet witn sucn
sunnort In the interior as It obtained In
Macedonia, though delegates are now be-
in rtlnnatehed to every province to In
struct the population as to the nature of
lis rights and duties and the oDjects 01
the committee, and to assist It to choose
candidates.
To sum up. the organization will at
tempt to control the November elections
whenever and wherever It sees any
chance of success. This policy requires
no advocacy, for the best chance for
constitutional government In the Otto
man Empire lies In the long-continued
control of Parliament and the adminis
trative machine by the 80.000 men of the
educated classes who constitute the Com
mittee of Union and Progress.
Christians Are Selfish,
Kverythlng appears to be going so well
with the establishment of the constitu
tion that It seems a pity to have to take
note of clouds which are appearing on
the horizon, and which may lead to se
rious complications. The Young Turkey
party undoubtedly Is alone the author of
the movement which resulted in the dec
laration of the constitution, and Its whole
object being the regeneration of the em
pire. It calls upon all the various na
tions, races and creeds of which Turkey
is composed to Join with It on an equal
footing, and to assist In every way for
the benefit of the empire. For their own
part, the Young Turks entirely waive all
claims that the Turks hold by virtue of
being the dominant race and the con
querors of the others, and Invite all to
lake an equal share.
This at first was received with enthu
siasm and the fraternization was gen
eral, but now, unfortunately, this ardor
Is beginning to cool, and It Is beginning
to grow evident that few. If any, of the
subject Christian races have the slight
Hit Intention of making any sacrifices for
the good of the empire. The Greeks first
demanded to h represented In proportion
to their numbers, and now the Bulgar
ians want to have a special system of

NEW YORK. Sept. IS. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Frank J. Aldrich,
who will be known to Manhat
tsn this Winter as Mme. Marlska
Aldrich. Is the very newest Kam
mersteln discovery. She Is an
American and a New Yorker. Up
to a year and a half ago Mrs.
Aldrich had no idea that she pos
sessed any dramatic ability, but
she knew she had a mezzo-contralto
voice which was consid
ered remarkable by her friends.
Encouraged by these friends she
went to Paris and studied under
Geraudet, who was most enthusl
astto over her temperament and
dramatic gift and told her she
had a great career In front of
her. She has a five years' con
tract with Mr. Hammersteln. -

Will Show Real Motive.
Grumbling has also begun at the pros
pect of all Christians serving in the army.
In fact, the Christians, who were always
complaining under the old regime, are
preparing to be stumbling blocks to the
new. A few months will show clearly
what attitude they will assume, and un
less they alter their present state of
feeling. It Is more than likely that there
will be a recrudescence of the old state
of affairs in Macedonia, where very few
people would understand that the real
object of thhe bands was not to procure
good government, . but each nationality
trying to obtain Its own aggrandizement.
If the present regime fails to pacify
Macedonia, it will be no fault of the
Turks, and the responsibility will rest
entirely with the Christians. They could
not have had a better opportunity for
showing what are their real objects,
and this time Europe cannot be deceived
If they refuse to take the offer held out
to them of perfect equality with the
Turks.
Guard Against Reaction.
One of the principal difficulties con
fronting the Young Turks lies In the pro
found Ignorance of a large portion of the
Asiatic population of the empire, -which
Is entirely incapable of realizing the sig
nificance of the recent political trans
formation, and In some Instances appears

BAYOGEAN PARK'S OUTLOOK
CLEARING AND GRADING UTS
ER W AY OX PEXIXSCIiA.
Attractive Resort and Residence)
Tract at Tillamook Bay Being
Made Ready for Resident.
Promoters-- of Bayocean Park, on Til
Iamook Bay, have not been Idle in the
Dast few months, for ever since the
land of the peninsula was secured work
on the lands has been going on with
out interruption.
The eight-mile boulevard circling the
strip of land on the bay and ocean
fronts Is being graded, and when
finished is expected to be one of the
most picturesque automobile drive
ways on the continent. Clearing and
grading of streets also has been car
ried forward, and the whole tract pre
sents evidences of a considerable
amount of work done and what Is to
be expected from now until the resort
is ready for occupancy.
Early next year, the big hotel project
ed is expected to be under course of
construction, and doubtless cottages
eoon will begin to dot the land, for the
firm handling the tract, Potter-Chapin
Realty Company, reports the sale of
about 1000 lots to Portland and vicin
ity people and some 600 to resident
of near-by states.
It is declared to be the Intention to
make Bayocean Park a resort equaling
any on the Coast, and superior in many
respects to the older places, the loca
tion of the new resort offering both
sea and bay bathing, and vlewa com
bining landscape and ocean outlook.
The surrounding country Is full of In
teresting places to visit, and there is
a never-ending variety of amusements
included In the scheme of the com
pany's plans for the future. There Is
to be an amusement park, in which a
natural lake is to form the central fea
ture, and surrounding this will be in
stalled vcrious kinds of entertaining
attractions, a long chutes to be one of
these.
An Inclosed basin on the bay side
will afford Stillwater bathing, with
water several degrees warmer than
that on the ocean beach, furnishing a
safe and oomfortable pool for those
who do not care for surf. The sea
beach Is pronounced to be the best in
point of length and gentleness of elope
of any north of Coronado.
Present Indications are that rail fa
cilities will reach Tillamook by the
time the hotel is ready to receive
guests, and the owners of the tract
represent that the work of getting the
resort in condition by that time is to
be pushed vigorously, and that by an
other 'car Bayocean Park will be in
condition to attract the attention of
cottagers, not only from Pacific Coast
states, but will be known all over the
country so one of the show places of
the Coast.
The recreation grounds will occupy
23 acres, and will be located In easy
access of residents of the peninsula,
both cottagers and hotel guests, but
will be so situated that residents who
may not care for the kinds of amuse
ment to be offered -will not be incon
venienced. Stresa Is laid on the fact
that the resort will provide ideal resi
dence sites, and that 20-year restric
tions will prevent Influx of the "un
desirable" element. No shacks are to
be allowed on the tract, and tents will
not be permitted on building lots.
Every lot purchaser is to be bound un
der these restrictions, and the result is
confidently looked forward to in pro
viding a Summer residence community
of the highest class. There will be at
this resort at least four months of sea
bathing, and probably longer on the
bay side.
, Potter & Chapln now believe that the
resort will be open not later than 1910,
and from the number of lots sold so
fax are perfectly confident of the suc
cess of the enterprise. The Arm has
arranged to give stereoptlcon views In
a room at the Corbett building twice
a week, the views to show the tract as
It now appears, and include views
taken by Kiser in the surrounding
country. The photographer Is on rec
ord as pronouncing that part of the
coast rich In picturesque bit of cen
ery and wonderfully well adapted for
outings and sojourns of months.

BAYOCEAN PARK
NATIONAL SUMMER RESORT
BAYOCEAN PARK, at Tillamook Bay, is more wonderfuly situated than any
resort IN THE WORLD, the Oregon Coast Climate is tlie finest SUMMER climate
in the United States, and it was these facts, coupled with the fact that the North
west is the only section of the United States which is without -a large, first-class
resort, that determined us to develop this property. Los Angeles stands today as
the largest tourist center in the United States, simply on the1 strength of a good
Winter climate, and a large amount of money spent on artificial attractions. There
are fully one hundred times more people who take a Summer vacation than those
who take a Winter vacation. BAYOCEAN PARK can be reached just as quickly
from any part of the United States as can Los Angeles, while the people on the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific railroads can reach
BAYOCEAN PARK three days sooner and have a week longer at the beach..
With fuUy one million dollars expended in improvements and artificial attrac
tions, and with such a wonderful situation, all we need to make, this a grand suc
cess is the co-operation of a large number of people, and for that reason we are
bringing our proposition before you.
. There is no investment offered in the United States which is any safer than
BAYOCEAN PARK, as we positively guarantee everything in your contract, and
we are not dependent on the sale of the lots in order to fulfill" our agreements.
We are selling the lots in BAYOCEAN PARK at a remarkably low figure and
on very easy terms. A few dollars monthly will bring you several thousand dollars
profit in a very short time, but you must act promptly, as. we are selling these
lots not only in Portland but throughout the United States, and in a very, short
time .we will have disposed of all the property which we care to sell.
STEREOPTICON VIEWS
" In order that you may verify our statements regarding BAYOCEAN PARK,
we are giving a series of stereopticon exhibitions, showing every part of the
property and the surrounding country, and explaining what we have already ac
complished and what we will do in the future to give Oregon
THE LARGEST AND GRANDEST SUMMER RESORT IN THE UNITED STATES
