THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAU. PORTLAND- JULiY 18, 1913. 12 EXISTENCE OF NEW PARTY QUESTIONED Self-Nominated Candidates o Bull Moose Puzzled at Actual Status. LOCAL TICKET IS BARRIER George VT. Joseph, Who Attended Mass Meeting, Says Organization Not a "Xew Party" but a Pro test on Chicago Outcome. Did Roosevelt's Oregon supporters at their mass meeting In Portland last Thursday actually organize a third party? If they did why did the convention fail to adopt a party name and include it in the declaration of principles that were adODted? If a new party was formed, what is it going to do about placing state ana county tickets in the Held? These are some of the Questions self nominated delegates who attended the convention are asking each other and their answers differ widely. It Is certainty that Dan Kellaher, L. M Lepper and some of the other members of the National Progressive Club of Oregon, who issued the call for the gathering, fully intended to form progressive Roosevelt, Bull Moose, party of some kind. But in the minds nf Oeorare W. Joseph and other dele gates there exists a serious question if the proceedings or the convention were sufficient In themselves for the Incuba tion of the proposed new political or ganization. "Party Lines Eliminated." "I hardly think we organized a new party." said Mr. Joseph yesterday, "but I do not see the necessity ior a tniro party at this time. Under the Oregon system there Is no such thing as party fealty. Our system has eliminated party lines and has laid the party whlD on the shelf. "This is a progressive age in which the man and the principles for which he contends are placed above party. Our convention was a. protest against tne work of the Republican National con vention and a demand for another ex pression from the people as to their choice for the Presidency between Taft and Roosevelt and the Democratic nominee. That is what we desire and with conditions as they are in this state we can obtain that expression through the means we have provided without organizing another political nartv." Dr. H. W. Coe and State Senator Kellaher differ from their co-worker. State Senator Joseph, in this partic ular. They maintain that the mass meeting performed every possible step that could be expected to give Identity to a new party. "Don't know what more we could have done," said Mr. Kellaher. yester day. "The meeting was called for the nunoje of organising another party. We adopted" a platform, elected dele gates to the Chicago convention, nomi nated Presidential electors and pro vided for a state central committee by which the affairs of the party shall be directed. We did not even wait for the Chicago convention. We most Burely organized a National Progressive party In this state and before the November election arrives we will have vigorous organizations of our party In every county of the state." This same view was expressed by Dr. C e. who argues that the proceedings of the convention were entirely regu lar and complete so far as bringing the new party Into existence. New Party Born. Sr Dr. Cm. "I surely regard that the new party has been born in this state as a result of Thursday's mass meeting." said Dr. Coe. "As to the scope of Its work, that Is a matter to be decided by the members of the state central committee for which we have arranged. It will consist of a member from each county, elected by the adherents of the new party in those localities." Although the convention laid on the table a resolution declaring lor full state and county tickets, the subject has not been disposed of finally. It is sure to come up for further consid eration when the proposed state cen tral committee meets for organization after the Chicago convention. The Roosevelt forces in this state are very much disagreed as to the ad visability of naming progressive or third-party candidates for all state and county offices. Some would nominate complete tickets from United States Senator to Constable. Others would nominate candidates for only United States Senator and Representatives In Congress. Still another element would have the new party confine Its efforts exclusively to establishing the party this year and go after the offices in subsequent campaigns. Independent Candidates Likely. Regardless of any official action the proposed state central committee may take, it is very probable that the mem bers of the party in several of the counties will bring out independent candidates to oppose those nominees chosen last April who refuse to pledge their support to Roosevelt In the Presi dential contest In this state. In the meanttme, the supporters of Roosevelt and his third party pro gramme In this state will await the command of the leader of the herd when it assembles in convention at Chicago, August 5. That gathering is expected definitely to commit Itself on the question of bringing out state and county tickets in the various states. Its action will have much to do with the eventual disposition of the matter by the Roosevelt forces in Oregon. KELLAHER IS STILL, SILEXT Let 'Km Guess Awhile," Replies Man Who Accepted Trust for Taft. Will Dan Kellaher run as a Taft or a Roosevelt elector? Can he retain both nominations and be a candidate against himself? Can he resign as a Taft Re publican elector? Will he agree to vote for that candidate for President, whose group of electors Is elected In this state? How will his name appear on the official ballot? These are fair samples of a score of queries that are being addressed by perplexed Republican voters of the state to the Taft-Republlcan-Roosevelt-Bull-Moose nominee for Presidential elector. The answer to most of the Interroga tions is locked up In Mr. Kellaher's breast and he refuses to tell. Let 'em guess awhile,'' replied Mr. Keliaher yesterday when asked to dis cuss his dual nominations. In the meantime, supporters of both President Taft and Roosevelt are be coming impatient with Mr. Kellaher. They are Insisting that he make a statement making plain whether he will support Taft or Roosevelt. Having ac cepted the Republican nomination and having filed an official acceptance In the office of the Secretary of State. It Is contended by some that Mr. Kellaher cannot resign. In the face of this, aver Aioio who crlUcUa iU Jdultuomali. County man. he openly solicited and c cepted the nomination of a mass meet ing of progressives aa a Roosevelt elect or. "In other words." said a prominent Republican yesterday, "Mr. Kellaher is attempting to do Indirectly what he cannot do directly under the provisions of the direct primary law. Tne purpose of that provision in the law is good. It la designed to prevent fraud through collusion in ths nomination of candi dates for office. It renders impossible a combination among candidates for the same office being formed to freeze out other aspirants for the nomination, when It is actually intended for one of the group In the deal. Not being able to resign, all candidates for the same office nominated in the primary elec tion must remain on the ticket." Mr. Kellaher In a recent statement intimated that since his name was written on the ballot in the primary, the nomination came to him unsolicited. But the fact that he officially ac cepted the nomination is taken to nul lify any contention that may be urged by him In disclaiming any desire for the place. ' . "The man who accepts a nomination after his name has been written on the ballot by his own act, ratifies that nom ination and places himself In the same position as the man who applied for the nomination In the direct primary nominating election," argued another Republican yesterday. "The position of Mr. Kellaher In at tempting to straddle the Issue is in keeping with the general policy oi Roosevelt and his supporters. That nollev contemDlates the defeat of the Republican party by Indirect methods wherever Dossible and a iignt in tne open only when no other way Is avail able. In other words, their tactics are generally to thrash around among the herd and cause trouoie wnicn, nat uralists agree. Is characteristic of the Bull Moose." FULL DELEGATION 10 GO OREGOX WILL BE WELL REPRE SENTED AT CHICAGO. Invitation to Accompany Washington and California. Delegations Not Accepted. Oregon will probably be represented at the Roosevelt convention In Chicago, August 6. by its full quota of five dele gates. Dr. H. w. coe, oi tnis city, one of the delegation, said yesterday that all of the delegates, aa well as some of the alternates, chosen at 'inursaays mass mo tint? would ko from this state. He is endeavoring to arrange it so the members of the Oregon delegation will go In the same party. Oregon s delegates have received in vltatlons to Jofn both the California and the Washington delegations in special cafr, but will probably make the trip unattached. Charles t. uetncK, secretary of the Republican State Cen tral Committee in California, called on Dr. Coe yesterday with a letter from Governor Johnson suggesting that the two delegations make the trip together, but it was found Impracticable to ac cept the invitation. The delegates from Washington will start for the cpnven tion city next Thursday. It has not been decided when tne delegates from this state will depart. Bruce Dennis, ex-chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee, who was elected one of the delegates to Chicago, left last night for his home at La Grande. He will leave La Grande next Wednesday for Chicago. Dr. Coe and the other three delegates-probably will leave about the same time, and, If the arrangements can be made, will Join Mr. Dennis at La Grande. Aside from Dr. Coe and Mr. Dennis, the dele gates are D. L. Povey, Multnomah; E. Holmes. Wallowa, and J. Frank Hughes, Marion. The alternates are: R. J. Green, Union: Max Telford, Clackamas; J. E, Barnett Wasco; L. V. Hall, Josephine, and E. O. Burdon, Multnomah. SILVER AND CLOTHES GONE Woman, in Fit of Dementia, Carries Away Valuables, Forgets Them.
