OREGONIAN NEWS Bl'REAt. Wash
ington. Jan. 13. Fred T. Dubois, ex
Vntttd States Senator from Idaho, haa
been chosen as the Moses to lead the
Champ Clark Presidential boom out
of tha wilderness and Into the Land of
Promise.
That there has been an active man
ager In charge of the Champ Clark
boom has been apparent for some lit
tle time, but so adroit was this man
ager that his Identity was not dis
closed In the early months of his labor.
It now eomrs In light for the first
time that Fred Imbols Is the man to
whom Speaker Clark has entrusted
his political fortunes, and the frequent
visits of the former Senator to Wash
ington. New Tork and other Eastern
cities Is at last explained.
Senator Dubois chanced through
Washington early In November, but
when questioned as to his mission ex
plained that he had been In New York
on business and was on his way home.
Of course Washington is not on the
direct route from New York to Idaho,
but then ex-Senators hare a bablt of
dropping In on Wafhinjrton once In
awhile, and their visits at use no
particular Interest.
( lark's rhaaeea ftrawlat;.
But about the time Congress con
vened. Senator Dubois reappeared in
Washington, but again without ap
parent purpose. H said he liked the
atmosphere of Washington; that Mrs.
Imbols hart many friends here whom
she wanted to visit, and as there was
nothing to keep him at home, he
thought be would "spend a month or
ao doing nothing In Washington."
Which was all the explanation the
Senator would offer, and there was no
apparent reason for questioning him.
for he has spent severs! Winters In
Washington since his retirement from
the Senate.
It la not surprising that Speaker
Clark should employ a man like Dubois
to handle his campaign for the nomi
nation, for the Democratic party con
talna few politicians more adroit or
more resourceful than the ex-Senator
from Idaho. Clark Is sincere In his
candidacy for the nomination, and as
surances he has received from many
frienda have led him to believe that
his chances are as good as those of any
other man. Certain It Is that Clark
stock. If It is moving at all. is moving
upward, not downward: Clark Is a
growing, not a waning, candidate.
How far Dubois Is responsible for
the growth of Clark sentiment Is not
readily determined. Certain It is.
however, that nothing Speaker Clark
baa done publicly of late haa tended
to swell his popularity. Rather, he has
been a passive candidate. In. a recep
tive mood, so far as the public has
been advised. Yet the Idea has spread
that Clark is extremely desirous of
landing the nomination, and his praises
have been sounded In the four quarters
of the country. Someone Is respon
sible for this, and the finger points to
Dubois.
Practical Work Betag Doaje.
But Dubois Is doing more than work
ing up Clark sentiment: he is securing
substantial backing for Clark, and Is
now at work perfecting Clark organi
sations In different parts of the coun
try, with a view to securing Clark
delegates to the National convention
next Summer. On his frequent visits
to New York. Senator Dubois has
looked Into the progress of the rival
Wilson and Harmon booms, which are
helped along by active headquarters
In that city. He has also been busy
among Democratic leaders In New
Tork State. In the hope of securing
the delegation from that state. If New
York will go to the convention backing
Clark, he will at the outset be a
formidable candldte.
Indiana is another state that has
been Invaded by Dubois. The Indiana
delegation, add'ed to the New York
delegation, would do much to help
Clark towards the nomination. Of
course Indiana has a favorite son who
Is talked of as a possibility Governor
Marshall but there is no present rea
son for believing that Marshall will be
seriously considered by the convention,
and If Dubois can secure the pledge of
the Marshall forces to turn to Clark
tn the event Marshall Is out of it, he
will have made great strides.
On his tours as manager of the
Champ Clark boom. Senator Bubols
bas also been In Illinois. Pennsylvania.
Maryland and other states, and soon
Is to Invade the Southwest. Sooner or
later, he probably will get over a great
deal of the country. fr ns hesd of
the movement he Is privileged to go
where he thinks he can accomplish
results. All along he has been shrewdly
working up Clark sentiment In Idaho
and other Northwestern states, through
his msny political friends and former
associates.
Dabois 9krvnrl la Polities.
Champ Clark. In his time, has msde
many political blunders, but It will not
be said he blundered In selecting
Dubois for his campaign manager.
Dubois Is a better politician than
Clark, and Clark knom-s It. Hence.
Dubois has free rein, and Is waging the
pre-conventlon fight according to hla
own Judgment. Not the least of his
labors have been among Democratic
Senators and Representatives in Con.
jtress. many of whom are old friends
ef Dubois. Through these men. who
are leaders In their respective states.
Dubois hss been getting a pretty fair
Idea of the situation In the various
states, and this Information, together
with what comes directly to the
Speaker, enables Dubois to determine
where his efforts will likely prove the
most availing.
Of course If Dubois succeeds with his
campaign and Is able to bring about
the nomination of Speaker Clark. It Is
enly natural to presume that he will
have a great say In the conduct of tha
Democratic National campaign this
Fall, and Indeed. If the Clark forces
carry the convention, there is a pos
sibility that Dubois might be chosen
as chairman of the National Committee.
This Is not assured, but there Is a
strong possibility that Clark would
throw his support to Dubois if Dubois
can bring about Clark's nomination.
Custom dictatea that the nominee shall
Same tb chairman of the National
committee.

WILSON'SPASTRISES
'Rid Party of Bryan" Letter
Comes Home to Roost.
OTHER SPEECHES QUOTED
Baccalaureate Utterance Tliat Labor
Vnlons Give Employer aa Lit
tle as Possible for Their
Money Is Cited.
Ii'onllnued From Flnt Ps f )
have been taking therefrom a cue
and are digging up other speeches and
utterances and letters by Governor
Wilson. There Is. for example, the
noteworthy Instance of the speech the
Governor made before the Virginia
Society of New York. November 0,
1004. In which he said:
"It Is now the duty of the Southern
Democrats to assume a pre-eminent
place in the councils of the party and
read out of the party the alien element
that haa been In control aince 196."
"Radical Leaders Belittled.
Continuing. Mr. Wilson said on that
occasion:
"It Is up to the Southern Democrats
to rid the party of the leaders who
undertook to commit the party to
radical experiments, and up to the
Southern Democrats to see to it that
the party should stand for administra
tion of governmental affairs In accord
ance with ancient Institutions."
Another excerpt that is being quoted
extensively is from the baccalaureate
address at Trinceton In June. 109,
vhlch runs:
"The tendency of the modern labor
onion Is to give employers as little
labor for the money they receive ss
possible."
By some, this Is regarded as the
worst, from a political viewpoint, of all
Efforts of the Wilson men to substi
tute the majority for the two-thlrda
rule In the coming National Demo
cratic convention, naturally are In
volved In It all. It Is reported that In
this the Wilson boomers have enlisted
the support of the William R. Hearst
faction. That this support was not
productive of results at the recent
committee meeting is known, but the
question. "How much further will It
jor is still among the questions uppermost-Roosevelt
"Boom" Alarsalag.
Democrats, generally, are watching
alarmingly the growth of the Roosevelt
movement In the Republican ranks.
Some of them now say that the Colo
nel is the only Republican they have
reason to fear. They profess to believe
that they would lose most of the "pro
gressive" Democratic strength if the
Colonel were the nominee of his party.
As betwen Wilson and Roosevelt, they
say. It would be Rosevelt who would
be chosen.
Conservative Democrats, on the other
hand fear Taft. but they do not want
Wilson and are hoping for still an
other nominee.
National Democratic leaders who
have been In conference Jn New Tork
for the past two days are agreed that
the Presidential nomination will. In all
probability go to a lark horse." ac
cording to one of their number who Is
anonymously quoted by the New York
Herald today. Among the Democratic
committeemen who have been confer
ring with National Chairman Mack are
Nathan Cole. Jr.. of California; Frank
K. Nebeker. of Utah. and W. H.
Dunphy. of Washington.
STATESMEN HURL WORDS
Haute Four lit Over Allowance for
Motorcycles.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1J. A battle of
words between Representatives John
son, of Kentucky, and Madden, of Illt
nola. in the House today, when the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
was under discussion, nearly resulted
in blows.
Mr. Johnson had objected to l0
for a motorcycle for elevator Inspec
tors, and Mr. Madden immediately ac
cused him of endangering the lives of
people who might ride on elevators
which Inspectors had been unable to
sxamlne-
"Tbe other day the gentleman from
Illinois, however," retorted Represen
tative Johnson, "undertook to prevent
giving protection to women and chil
dren In crossing streetcar tracks in
order to save money for a corpora
tion." The gentleman Is mistaken. I am
here to defend no corporation," re
joined Mr. Madden.
"If this were a corporation whose
assets were assailed," pursued the
Kentucklan excitedly. "I doubt not
that the gentleman from Illinois would
come In here now and ask for Its pro
tection." "I take exception to the statement
of the gentleman from Kentucky,"
shouted Mr. Madden.
"Take exception to my statements
outside." answer Mr. Johnson, advanc
ing into the middle of the alale.
"I am no prizefighter," snapped Mr.
Madden.
"Come out there now," Insisted John
son. "A coward can sit down and
laugh."
Friends Intervened and later the two
men exchanged apologies. The motor
cycle appropriation got through, but
the passage of the bill was deferred
until Monday.
GIRL ADMITS PERJURY
MISS VAX DE BOGART, OF PORT
LAND, MAKES DEPOSITION'.
Wisconsin Attorney Declared to Hare
Advised False Statement in
Salt for Damages.
MARINETTE, Wis.. Jan. ia. (Spe
cial.) The climax in the criminal libel
suit of Attorney Martlneau against
Sheriff Schwlttay was reached today
when the deposition of Marie Van de
Bogart. taken In Portland. Or., was
read. The deposition said that 'Miss
Van de Bogart had sworn falsely In the
Circuit Court In her damage suit
against a paper company, having been
coached tn false statements by Attor
neys Martlneau and Klrkland. She
also said that she was to pay her at
torneys half the damagea collected.
She denied ever having had eleptlc
selxures previous to the damage suits
and said when she swore she had them
it was untrue. She said that she had
cut her hair off at the order of Mar
tlneau. who said It would have a bet
ter effect on the Jury when It was said
she had her hair cut because of severe
headaches.
The Jury Is being kept day and night
under a guard of officers. Schwlttay,
aa the result of a political war be
tween the followers of Senator
Stephenson and his own faction, pub
lished a paper of his own. in which he
accused Martlneau of having sued a
local factory for damages for an In
Jury alleged to have been sustained by
the girl. Schwlttay was then District
Attorney, but was disbarred and re
moved from office. He was elected
Sheriff Immediately afterward.
CLARK SCORES ON FOLK
Breach W idened by Selection of Con
vention Day In February.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. IS. The breach be
tween the forces of Speaker Clark and
ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, who are
striving for the Missouri delegation at
the Democratic National convention,
was widened further today by the ac
tion of the Democratic state committee
In selecting February 20 as the date
for holding the state convention at
Joplin. The Folk adherents fought for
a date In March.
Folk'a managers, after the meeting
adjourned, said that the committee had
called a "snap convention." Speaker
Clark"s representatives on the commit
tee said that the date for, the conven
tion was the unanimous action of the
committee.

HORSES DROP; TRIO DIVIDES
One of Three Who Blew Safe at
Xewport Beach Hurt by Citizen
Who Also Wounds Innocent
Man With Shotgun.
NEWPORT BEACH. Cal., Jan. 13.
Three posses kept up the search to
night for the three robbers who blew
open the safe of the State Bank of
Newport early today and escaped. The
robbers reached Olive. 18 miles south
east of here, Defore their stolen horse
dropped with exhaustion and the pur
suers are searching: the marshes for
traces of the robbers.
After abandoning;" their horses the
trio separated. The two uninjured
going: opposite from the Injured one.
The officers and citizens in the hunt
tonight hope to catch the disabled
man before dawn.
Safe Thooaht Burglar-Proof.
The robbers, equipped with large
quantities of nitroglycerine, destroyed
the supposedly burglar-proof safe of
the bank, but In a battle with citizens
who were aroused by the explosions,
they dropped a horse's nosebag con
taining 2600 and got away with only
1599.10.
Bert Kimball, a fisherman who
rushed up to a point near the bank
when the explosions occurred, was mis
taken for one of the robbers and seri
ously wounded by a load of buckshot
fired into him by William Hall, a sa
loonkeeper, who also wounded one of
the robbers. Kimball Is now in a hos
pital at Santa Ana, five miles from
here. His condition Is critical but he
is believed to have a chance of re
covery. The wounded bandit was knocked
down by Hall's volley of buckshot, but
wag picked up by his two companions
and rushed to a rig eight blocks away.
In which they escaped.
Before they tried to blow the bank
safe, the bandits entered the Post
office, and after robbing the till there
of J10. they cut every telephone wire
leading into the Newport Beach Ex
change, which is located in the same
building. Having thus Isolated the
town they started leisurely to work,
and later, the ack of communication

Explosive Left la' Bank
In their haste, the bandits left be
hind them large quantities of nitro
glycerine lying about in the vicinity of
the looted bank. When Charles Wal
lace, cashier of the Institution, arrived
he found two bottles of the explosive
standing on the table In the directors'
room. An oilskin roll, lying Just out
side the front door of the bank,, con
tained several more bottles.
The presence of the highly danger

SUGAR INQUIRY BROADENS
New York. Man Says Tariff Ulti
mately Will Lower Prices.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. The House
sugar investigation committee today
began a study of sugar conditions
throughout the world.
W. R. Willett. of New York, analyzed ,
the Government publications and other ;
authoritative documents relating to j
sugar costs.
The Cuban reciprocity agreement
was explained - to the committee. Mr. '
Willett calculated that the American :
consumer got 17.7 cents a hundred
pounds of the differential, and the Cu
ban planters and sugar refiners 16
Willett said that by maintaining
the protective tariff as it stands, the
sugar Industry would grow until the
great production would lower the price
to the consumer more quickly than by
a removal of the tariff.

Cabinet at Midnight Is Virtually
Agreed Upon Minor Places
Are Still Vacant.
PARIS. Jan. 18. M. Polncaire. to
whom the Premiership was tendered
yesterday, called on President Fallieres
today and announced his acceptance of
the Invitation to form a new ministry.
The cabinet, so far as arranged up to
midnight, is believed to be as follows:
Mlni.ster of Justice, Arlstlde Briand;
Minister of Labor, Leon Bourgeois;
Minister of War, Alexander Millerand
Minister of Marine, Theoplle Delcasse;
Minister of Finance, L. L. Klotz; Min

- The portfolios of Public Instructor
and Commerce and the various under
secretaryships remain to be appor
tioned, and there is some possibility
that shifts may be made before the
composition of the Cabinet Is decided
officially.
The passing of Premier Caillaux calif
forth hardly a single word of regret.
This is indicative of the state of the
public mind, which generally holds thai
M. Caillaux leaves office a discredited
man. " The general conviction prevails
that he has not yet refuted the charges
that he had secret dealings with emis
saries of Germany, to whom, it 1b said,
he was to grant important- concession!

WEST POINT. N. T.. Jan. 13. The
semi-annual examination at West Point
proved disastrous to 31 members of
the largest fourth class ever gathered
together at the institution. The class
was regarded as the best-prepared
class of appointees ever matriculated,
as the members not only passed in the
competitive examinations, but also
passed the regular academic examina

The first six months, however, under
military discipline and class training
proved too much for the 31 and they
have been ordered to their homes.
