TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX,. FORTLAXD, MAY 5, lf)12 7 DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO BE UNPLEDGED Washington May See Fight Tomorrow With Clark and Wilson Running Close. KING CONTEST UPPERMOST Conntjr Xante ArhM Over DcclMon of Exextttlvfi Committed to Delegation National Committeeman Deal Interests. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 4. (Special.) There Is a strona; possibility tn WashIns"ton"s Democratic delegation wi!I be sent to the National convention In Baltimore without Instructions. The flirht for control In the atate conven tlon. which meets In Walla Wall Monday. Is so close that neither the Chamn Clark nor the "Woodrow 'Wilson loaders, who are to tight It out. are cer tain of the outcome. Throughout the state there has been a disposition among Democratic con ventlons and committees to send dele Kates unlnstructed and nothing bu an actual poll of the delegates who appear to vote at the Walla Walla meeting will definitely settle the ques tlon of control. Jerome Prumhcller claimed from Spo kane a few weeks ;o that Cb Clark would have 177 delegates, even If the Wood row Wilson delegates from Klnfr were seated. There Is a strong element of doubt about the correctne of county polls and the percentage o delegates who will be In actual attend ame when the all-Important vote I cast. Illaatratlaaa kw Moailoa. A couple of Illustrations show the situation. Walla Walla, unlnstructed, has been polled as 20 for Wilson and four for Clark, when along comes newspaper correspondent's poll show ing the delegation evenly divided. Sno homish ricked 11 delegates through i convention committee on an under landing that the representation should be divided. Promptly the Wilson lead ers claimed 13 and authority of the del esatlon chairman, a Wilson adherent, to fill any vacancies. The Clark forces In turn present a poll verified by Judge Black, president of the Clark State Club, who insists that his people have a majority. fierce contented. Itself with merely Instructing its delegation of ti for Hugh C. Wallace, a Harmon-Clark sup porter: Maurice A. Lanfthorne. a Uryan- Clark Democrat, and John l. Fletcher, a Bryan-Wilson leader, as National delegates. The delegation Is presumed to be fairly evenly divided between Clark and Wilson, but nobody actually knows and nobody will until the dele gates In attendance have to answer roll call. Evea Mr. Prumheller's county In structed for Clark, but also Indorsed set of pro-Bryan candidates for Ni tlonal delegates, and In King County the Clark force only have it seats they are sure of. for there Is a contest on and on the outcome of this contest will depend the complexion of the King County vote. Ceavratloa la l aeertalm. Talk of Introducing the Bryan In fluence at Walla Walla Is not new. The Wilson forces have done that where they have been weak In that state, Spokane being a notable example. Tet Clark won. In Spokane, over a Bryan Wilson combination and some of the Speaker's other victories have been Just as significant. I'nquestlonably as much use aa pos sible will be made of Bryan's name at Walla, Walla and unquestionably If Bryan were a candidate the Iemocrats who will attend the Walla Walla con vention would Indorse him with prac tical unanimity. Whatever the con vention may do, the past few months have had this result: Woodrow Wilson, from being what Is known. In sport ing parlanre, as a "cinch." has retro graded Into a "fighting chance." and Clark from an unknown quantity and a neglected possibility has developed Into a most serious contender. It un doubtedly Is true on Congressional dis tricts that Wilson has the First and Clark the Third. Possibly he has the Second and if he has he will control the convention, but that la yet to be determined. .Natloaal t'emssllteesaas) light Oat Of almost equal Interest with the Presidential preference Is the light on over election of a National Committee man, who will be chosen by the dele gation elected. John Paulson, former ly of Colfax but now of Spokane, who was the Democratic gubernatorial can didate In 10S. has been liberally In dorsed In Kastern Washington. C. li Helfner. Democratic Stale Chairman, who Is regarded as. the Woodrow Wilson representative in the North west. Is a King County candidate and probably will be urged as the Woodrow Wilson choice. Heifner has had an In-and-out career In Democratic state politics. There Is nn question aa to bis party regu larity or enthusiasm. lie has been active locally and twice headed the state organisation. Also he was beaten once before for National com mitteeman. A great many IVn.oorat Ic leaders insist that Heifner Is too selfish and they have stirred up a great deal of opposition In him. which to outsiders Is not easily understood. for there never were anv assaults made on Heif ner s character. possibly an Inclina tion to be dictatorial is responsible for whatever unpopularity he suffers, leterestlag tea teat Seem. Pitting Heifner. the more widely known, against Pattlson. the Kast Side choice. Is likely to develop a highly Interesting contest. Kxcept for the elements of acquaintance and unpopu larity that enter Into the fight, the contest could be said to be a sharply drawn light between olrow Wilson and Champ Clark factions with a like lihood that It might be precipitated onto the convention floor and there fur nish a test of strength. The last time the Democratic State Committee took a test vote. Heifner was beaten but this probably does not correctly Indi cate Iemocratic sentiment fn the state. C. C- Dill, a Spokane Woodrow Wil son supporter, wss Indorsed by the Ieraocratlc State Committee for tem porary chairman of the convention, .tie has promised Clark supporters that he will not treat them unfairly and his election will not be opposed by the Clark following. An effort Is to be made at the convention to boom Dill, who is regarded aa a good organiser but who is not a candidate for office. Incidentally, the Walia Walla gath- ' eelnv will be lura-elv an organization movement, only the King County con test furnishing an excuse for any deep feeling. The King County contest arose over a decision of tiie county executive committee to name the state delega tion. In the llt) primaries only a handful of precinct committeemen were chosen and ftie party was in such a bad way at that time that when the committee organized it could only fill out a delegation to the Taconta Judi ciary committee by electing all the county committeemen and aa many volunteers as could be found, as dele gates. Kqaal Representation Settled. The executive committee took the position that It was Impossible to hold a convention and decided to give the Harmon. Wilson and Clark clubs sn equal representation on the delega tion. Manifestly, this was unfair to the Wilson forces who were entitled to about half the county's strength, Harmon to very little and Clark the rest. But the Wilson faction had re fused to accept 70 of the 150 delegates, which at the time was not a bad com promise, so after fighting all day the committee stuck by its proposal. Wilson men then bolted, called a I rump meeting of precinct committee- UNPLEDGED MAY WIN Deleqates Not Sworn Hold Balance of Power in Idaho. T. R.

President Kerr to Talk. SALEM. Or.. May 4. (Special.) Principal Kirk, o fthe Salem High School, has received yord that Presi dent Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural College, will deliver the graduating ad dress to the pupils of Salem High School June 7. Instructed delegates will hold the bal ance of power, and that. If they Insist on an unlnstructed delegation to the National Republican Convention, they ; will be successful. It Is evident that, unless the unln structed delegates, after arriving at Lewlston. join the Taft or Roosevelt camps, neither the President nor the Colonel will have the necessary major ity, ISO. If the unlnstructed delegates decide to divide their power and Join their preference faction, the question of control of the convention will still be doubtful, for both the Taft and Roose velt leaders claim a majority. Roosevelt Claims Majority. The Instructed delegates elected In the various counties in this state, either through the County Central Committees or at conventions, give Roosevelt a ma jority of 22. and It will remain unal tered until the other countlea In the state which have not as yet been heard from, report. Roosevelt has a total of 86 delegates from the 12 of the 27 coun ties In the state which have Instructed delegates as follows: Taft Bannock, IS; Blaine, 9: Cassia. 9; Elmore, 6; Nex Perce, 11; Shoshone, 16. Total, to. Roosevelt Ada, 31: Adams. 4: Ban nock". 1; Lewis. 6; Latah. 17; Twin Falls, 13: Washington, ; Boise. 6. Total, 86. The claim was made that Taft had 80 delegates, but the total number In structed for him waa reduced, due to an error In the first report received at lo cal headquarters here. l apledged Favor Taft. Unlnstructed delegates have been elected In seven counties, and of these President Taft has a majority of 10. The countlea that elected unlnstructed delegates and the way the delegations are divided aa to preference Is given out by headquarters here as follows: Taft Bingham. (; Bonner, 6; Bonne ville, 4; Clearwater, 4; Kootenai, IB; Lincoln, 1; Lemhi. 7. Total, 42. Roosevelt Bingham. 4: Bonner, 7; Bonneville, 7; Kootenai. 1; Lincoln, 13. Total, 35. The counties still to elect delegates to the convention, and which both the Taft and the Roosevelt leaders are claiming, together with the number of delegates they are entitled to. are as follows: Bear Lake, 10: Canyon, 23: Custer. 4; Fremont. 30; Oneida, It; Owyhee. 4. ine main ngnt at the Lewlston con vention will be over the personnel of the delegation to the National Convention. Should the convention meet the demand of the unlnstructed delegates, both the Taft and Roosevelt factions will de mand representation. If thla Is con ceded, as party leaders advocate, four delegates will be apportioned to the Taft and four to the Roosevelt factions, sending a divided and unlnstructed del egation to Chicago. Male Dlvlaloas Recognized. That Idaho'a Congressional delegation will be recognised on the Chicago del egation Is now believed, although the suggestion has been made that they should be left off. This Is not consid ered good policy, and would be a slight upon Senator eldon B. Heyburn. Sen ator William E. Borah and Congress man Burton L. French. Party leaders declare they will be given credentials to the Chicago convention without opposl tlon, for the fight that the enemies of Senator Borah are making on him Is not viewed with any seriousness. Other National delegates mentioned are A. R. Crusen. of Boise, and Theodore Turner, of Pocatello. It la believed here the delegation should be apportioned with three of Its members from the north, and five from the south. If Crusen and Turner are selected, there will atlll remain two more to be placed on the delegation. Republicans In Idaho still believe that they have In Senator William E. Borah the logical dark horse candidate who would be agreeable to both factions of the National convention, should It be found that neither Roosavelt, Taft. THROUGH CARS Daily and Sundays 2:30 P. M.

Rockefeller F..N, CLARK Selling Agent EASTMORELAND 818-823 Spalding Building WHEN John D. Rockefeller first indicated his purpose to endow a huge univer sity in Chicago, Hyde Park was an undeveloped suburb of the city, served by one cable line and one steam road. The mere ru mor that the big educational insti tution would be located along the Midway, sent Hyde Park property values soaring. Lots that were be ing offered for $1000 doubled be tween the issues of the morning paper and the afternoon edition. The final selection of Hyde Park as the site for the University of Chicago settled a staple value upon all adjacent residence property. The price of $20 per foot was replaced, in many instances, by $300 per front foot, as soon as actual construction work began. Reed College, a $20,000,000 in stitution, when completed, will rank as one of the ten richest and finest colleges in the world. It will repre sent a greater influence upon Port land values than the University of Chicago did upon Chicago values. It is eminently fair, therefore, to attribute an enormous increase in real estate values in Eastmoreland to Reed College. Based upon the advance of property values in Chi cago, following the opening of the University of Chicago, a building lot in Eastmoreland, priced now at $1000, will be readily marketable for $4000 in 1917. This very day, $1000 invested in Eastmoreland, will increase more rapidly than the same amount in vested in Hyde Park, at the same stage of construction of the Univer sity of Chicago that Reed College is now. The reason that Reed College will have a greater proportional in fluence upon Eastmoreland values than the University of Chicago had upon Hyde Park values, Portland being so much smaller than Chicago and Reed College measuring so nearly ujp to the standard that the University of Chicago has set. Cummins. La Follette nor Hughes can secure a majority of the votes. Senator Borah has also been prominently men tloned as a Vice-Presidential possibil ity. An effort will be made at the Lew Iston convention to have the Idaho dele gation to the National convention pre sent the name of Senator Borah to that convention In the event the nomTnatlon of a dark horse Is possible.
