THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 3, 1911. SUEZ -.NAMED TO RUN WITH MAOERO In the surrounding country was suffi ciently heavy In the forenoon to lay the duBt Showers In the afternoon became general west qf the Cascades and as far south as Norther California, Roseburg being the only station that reported fair weather throughout the day. In Portland a total of .11 inch fell, which l's sTbout .07 Inch more than the average rainfall for this time of the year. Fair weather Is predicted for today in the 'Willamette Valley, and showers and thunder storms will occur In the Eastern portion of the state, which was not Included In the distribution of rain yesterday. Although the rainfall was not heavy at any one time, the steady driszle dur ing the afternoon served to put a- check on the forest fires In this locality, which will make much easier the task of subduing them. Coming so early In the month as it has, the rain probably was a native of Chester, Mass., born January 4, 1829. He crossed the plains to Oregon Jn 1849, and was Intimately connected with the history of the West ern territory. He-was a veteran of the Indian wars and served the entire campaign in the Klickitat War. His father, H. P. Campbell, was one of the first school teachers in Oregon, and his sister married Alfred Lewellyn, a cousin of Seth Lewellyn, who brought the first fruit tree to Oregon.. In 1870 Mr. Campbell went to Con necticut where he remained until 1891, and came again to Portland in - that year. In this city he made his home with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. George F.

Jose Pino Suarez was nominated tonight for vice president by the Progressive party over Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez by a vote Of 876 to 469, to run with F; L Ma dero, Jr., the party's -candidate tor president. Many delegates did not vote on the last ballot, while several cast blank ballots, these going to the credit of the man with the majority. The nomination of Suarez followed the refusal of the minority in the con vention to cast its votes for either of the remaining candidates for the vice presidency and the calling of Francisco I. Madero before the convention to de fend his relations with Dr. Gomez, who had run second to Suarez by 99 votes on the second ballot. Madero Turns Tables. The head of the ticket was subjected to a grilling by the delegates, but after frankly expressing nis Disap proval of Dr. Gomez, he adroitly turned the tables on the dissatisfied element by putting them on record to support the winning candidate, wno ever he might be. On the second ballot Fernando Igleslas Calderon, receiving the minor ity vote, was eliminated In accordance with the rules. Backers of both Suarez and Gomez had depended upon the Caldren vote for a majority in the third and final vote. Party leaders of the Caldron faction, however, declared that thpv vouM vote no more. Personal Popularity Shows. The supporters of Gomez immedlate ' ly raised a tumult and order was re stored only when it was agreed that Madero himself should be brought face to face with the convention. The ova- tion tendered him as he entered the Auditorium was such as to Indicate that whatever the division of opinion might be regarding the vice-presidential candidates, the house was united on Madero for president. Madero criticized many acts in the . career of his old running mate Gomes, both during: the revolution and since. That these remarks were far from pleasing to the friends of Gomez was evident by the Interruptions that came from many parts of the house. Madero then' declared that neither was Suares his candidate and that he had abso lutely no preference between the two men. He added, however, that he would accept any man named by the conven tion. Leader's Wishes Disregarded. Madero then tried to stampede the convention for a dark horse, . The tired delegates, regardless of faction, shouted, "No, no," and con fusion marked the conclusion of Ma dero's speech. The situation seemed not to be al tered by the visit and speech of Ma dero, and the delegates proceeded with the final vote, which showed the se lection of Suarez. In contrast to some of the earlier scenes in the convention, Its close was marked by an exceptional degree of orderliness. The adherents of Suares stood and shouted vivas for the victorious candidate, while the sup porters of Dr. Gojnez quietly left after one last cheer for their candidate. Madero : tonight said that in the advent of his election he would ask Dr. Gomez to occupy a post In his cabinet. Only the most ardent supporters of Madero regard his nomination as syn onymous with his election. The popu lar idol of perhaps 85 per cent of the Mexicans, his election tonight would have been unquestioned. Now, no one attempts to deny that he has lost much of his popular Influence, and that Gen eral Bernardo Reyes Is a formidable rival, Reyes Chief Opponent. Emlllo Vasques Gobez and one or two ambitious men persist in declaring that they will be candidates for the Presi dency, but up to this time the race is between Reyes and Madero. Reyes has the backing of no party. But In order that his candidacy may bo conducted In proper form, a convention of Rey Istas has been called for September 10, when his running mats will be chosen. ' In order that he may devote his en tire time to his campaign untrammeled by the possibility of military duties. General Reyes has petitioned the war department to place him on the retired list . ' , It IS expected that the month's cam paign now begun will be characterized by economy. Neither side has a cam paign fund. Madero's delegates will re turn to their homes next week, and in their various districts carry on the work begun In the capital, but the services will be voluntary on their part WOMAN NAPS; FRUIT BURNS Fire Company Finds Preserves Smol dering in Dry Kettle. .

R. Craw ford, head of the system, are Jubilant The existing order of things Is not likely to be changed soon, as Federal Judge Hanford yesterday dissolved the temporary Injunction against the streetcar company and the patrons of the line and placed the whole matter where It was immediately after the fa vorable decision of the State Supreme Court in the fight for a 5-cent fare and transfers. Decision Dissolves Injunction. Judge Hanford's ruling was oral and brief. He simply held' that the city and lntervenors having denied the equity of the petition of counsel for the bondholders of the road, following a fixed rule of his court, he would dis solve the injunction. Last night after conferences be tween E. S. McCord, counsel for the Seattle, Renton & Southern, and W. R. Crawford and others, it was decided to begin work this morning by com plying with the court's order and ac cepting the 5-cent fare, issuing 'trans fers with the Seattle Electric Com pany. To their great Joy, the resi dents of the district served by the road, found that all was peaceful as a Sum mer day. Peace ruled where husky bouncers and belligerent superintendent had held sway.

La Follette Advocated for Nomina tion in 1912 Because He Has ' Advocated "Oregon Plan." United States Senator Bourne has written a' letter to his constituents In Oregon saying that he opposes the re nomination of President Taft and fa vors that of La Follette. He gives three reasons, among others: "The chief reason for my opposition to President Taft and my advocacy of the nomination of Mr. La Follette is not found In tariff legislation. I re gard the tariff as of minor importance and a particularly disgusting phase of legislation, because it Is based almost wholly upon selfishness. My opposi tion to Mr. Taft is due chiefly to my deductions based upon his general at titude toward fundamental policies of government "He adheres to the old style of pol itics and determines his course of po litical action after consultation with political manipulators of the old school. His chief political affiliations In all the states, so far as I know, are with the class of politicians who have maintained their power through the continuance of the old system of po litical machines. This is certainly true in Oregon. He manifests air intention to use Federal patronage to force his renomlnation, regardless of the wishes of the members of the party through out the United States. This he may be able to do by reason of the fact that the southern states and territories in which a Republican electoral vot Is never ckhl lur rits men i, nave ads del egates 4n the National convention out of a total of 980. With these initial delegates chosen through the power of the Federal machine, the President has only 153 delegates to secure, evhlle any other candidate must secure 491. Main, tenance of such a system of nomlna tlon differs very little from the sys tem by Which President Diaz was able ,.to continue himself in office In Mexico for so many years. Tne only, method by . which that system can be over thrown is the adoption of my Presi dential preference law, such as Oregon has enacted, thus giving the members of the party an opportunity to deter mine who the party candidate shall be, Senator La Follette advocates the Ore gon plan of popular vote for party can didates for President and Vice-Presi dent, and with his advice and assist ance that law has been enacted in Wis consin, "Taft Is today giving political aid to that faction of Oregon politicians who had eight votes in the last National Re publican. Convention and cast all of them against the plank in the Repub lican platform advocating popular elec. tlon of Senators. Moreover, Taft has used whatever influence he possessed to defeat the Arizona constitution because It incorporated the initiative, reTeren dura and recall. Senator La Follette has been an ardent advocate of all these measures." Army Rnles Follow Flag. WASHINGTON, Sept 2. The Army regulations follow the flag so far as the colleges of Porto Rico are con cerned.
