HOOHES ID DIRECT OREGON GAMPAIGN Central Committee Chooses Chairman and Is Perma nently Organized. TAFT GAINING, IS BELIEF Republicans See Waning of Sent! nient for Roosevelt and Foresee Victory If Work Is Vigor ously Pushed. Expressing the conviction that Bull Moose sentiment in Oregon is waning: and that an aggressive campaign of education will Insure a Tart victory in this state in November, members of the Republican State Central Committee met at the Imperial Hotel yesterday and effected a permanent organization of the commltttee. C. B. Moores. of Multnomah County, was elected chair man to succeed Bruce Dennis, resigmtd, and E. W. .-Haines, of Washington County, vice-chairman, whose business affairs prevented his acceptance of the chairmanship. Nineteen of the 34 counties of the state were represented at the meeting. Selection of a permanent secretary of the committee to succeed Barnum, of Sherman County, was left to the new chairman who also was directed to appoint a finance committee of three members and an executive committee of such number as he deemed advis able. Chairman Moores announced that he would reserve the appointment of the secretary and the committees until later. Headquarters at Imperial The committee accepted the offer of the Imperial Hotel management for the use as headquarers of a suit of rooms on the second floor of the hostelry throughout the campaign. The head Quarters will be occupied jointly by National Committeeman Williams, State Chairman Moores and Robert C. Wright, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Central Committee. The plan is formally to open the bead quarters next week and inaugurate an active campaign in behalf of Presi dent Taft and the entire Republican ticket. "It is with some reluctance that I accept the chairmanship of the state committee, feeling that I may not prove able to meet the exactions of the office," said Mr. Moores following his unanimous election, "but I am willing to serve either at the head of the com mittee or in the ranks. "I realize that we have a fight be fore us. But- if we conduct a cam paign of education, as we should, we will win. President Taft is growing stronger every week and we should be able to enroll Oregon in the list of Taft states safely before the Novem ber election arrives. Bull Moose Criticised. "I know something of the combina tion we will be required to fight in this campaign. The Bull Moose con vention that was held in Portland recently was the most variegated col lection of decayed politicians and poli tical mavericks Portland ever saw. The head of the Bull Moose movement says, he Is opposed to bosses and machines and yet he is the most intolerant and autocratic boss this country has pro duced. He also has called to his aid such men as Matt Quay. Dan Hanna, Tim Woodruff and Bill Fllnn. It was Flinn who profited to the extent of $17,000,000 from questionable operations of municipal affairs in Philadelphia. "I have no use for the political ma chine or the political boss, but I do believe in organization and leadership as being indispensable to party suc cess. We must conduct a campaign of education and appeal to the brain and intelligence of the voters. When this wave of political hysturia has passed, the people will come to realize that no President since Abraham Lincoln was more entitled to a second term than President Taft" Moores Assails Movement. I-ater in the meeting, Mr. Moores characterized the Bull Moose move ment as a campaign that depended wholly on "hot air." He became per sonal in his remarks ani declared that Dr. H. W. Coe and Charles W. Acker son, leaders of the third party In this state, "knew less about the actual political situation than any other two men in Oregon." "They are saturated so thoroughly with their own prejudices they can only see through the blue spectacles of the Bull Moose," charged Mr, Moores. "But it is a part of the game with the Bull Moose party. They would liken Roosevelt to Abraham Lincoln, when any man of intelligence knows that there are no two characters In American history that are more pro nounced opposltes. 1 am making no defense of Wilson, the Democratic nominee, but when Roosevelt said the nomination of Wilson was controlled by the corporations he said what was untrue, as the record of the Democratic nominee as Governor of New Jersey proves. He was equally antruthful when he said that Taft was the candi date of the trusts. "President Taft Is not controlled by the trusts or any other corrupt in fluence, as his record of the last few weeks In vetoing bills of such moment ous concern to those interests proves. These violent and vituperative attacks by the Bull Moose people against both Taft and Wilson are not gaining- any votes for Roosevelt." Haines Tells of Entbuaiaam. Upon retiring from the active chair manship of the committee, Mr. Haines told of the enthusiasm manifested among Republicans throughout the state. "The outlook is much more encour aging than it was a week ago," said Mr. Haines. "In my county the Re publicans have lost some of their mem bers to the Bull Moose party, but the same is equally true of the Democrats. On the other hand. Republicans who lined up with the Bull Moose move ment at its Inception in this state have since returned to the Republican fold and are more enthusiastically support ing Taft than ever before." Speaking of conditions in Clatsop County, J. S. Dellinger emphasised the need of organization. He said the needs of the campaign required good speak ers of National reputation and was confident in his prediction that with the right kind of campaign Oregon would be carried for Taft. Further optimism was supplied by Llvy Stipp. of Clackamas County, who said he was one of "those Republicans who does not believe in accrediting all of the progressiveness of the party to a few members." He maintained that the Republican party in the Western states was unquestionably progressive. Outlook Deemed Brteht. "Many who have called themselves Republicans," said Mr. Stipp. "and who have registered as such never were Republicans. They have merely reg istered as such to help out the oppos ing party. The sooner we get Tid of them and some of the hysteria with which they party has been afflicted and get on a sound, safe basis the bet- j ter it will be for the party and real nroe-resslveness. John .P. Allen, of Benton: W. W. Steiwer, of Wheeler: F. A. Clark, of Wallowa, and L. D. Mahone, who held iho nroxv of Committeeman Barnum, of Sherman, said the outlook in their respective counties was Dngnt xneir reports were uniformly to the effect that many Republicans who supported Roosevelt in the primaries, believing him to be In good faith a Republican candidate, had since Teturned to the Republican party, declining to Join the new party. rnlnnd T M. Dunne assured- the committee that the older members of the Republican party could be de pended upon to support Taft in the November ejection, but that the young men would have to be enlisted In the cause.

KELrlxAHER SOURCE OP ANXIETY Republicans and Progressives Mixed - by Elector's Stand. Refusal of Dan Kellaher to withdraw as candidate for Presidential elector on either the Republican or the Bull it . I ., rnaultlner tn confusion among both Republicans and followers of the third party in counties ouimue of Multnomah. Evidence of this fact appeared yesterday when the question was raised by T. C. Watts, committee man from Columbia County, at the meeting of the Republican state -central committee. "There is one thing the voters of Columbia County would like to know," remarked Mr. Watts, addressing State Chairman Moores at the committee ; . "if .Ha flvA nominees for medium. " " ' -" s , , Presidential elector on the Republican ticket are elected In November, will President Taft receive five votes from .. in the electoral college? The voters of my county are asking this question because of the dual candidacy of Mr. Kellaher." Mr. Moores volunteered the opinion that If the Ave nominees for Presiden tial elector on the Republican ticket were elected the result would clearly that Prpsldent Taft was the choice of the voters of this state. In that' event none of the electors, nesaia, ,.,.1.1 W.. ..lli.

"But regarding the case of Mr. Kel laher's candidacy for elector on both tickets," said Mr. Moores, "I am satia ted that the direct primary law per mits an elector to become a candidate, for only one office in the same elec tien. When the pinch comes with Mr. Kellaher I think he will decide to withdraw as candidate for Presidential elector in both Instances and stand as a Republican candidate for State Sen ator." In the event that Kellaher should withdraw from the Republican Presi dential elector ticket, Livy Stipp, com mitteeman from Clackamas County, asked how the vacancy on the ticket would be filled. The opinion of some members of the committee that the state central committee was empow ered to name candidates for all vacan cies was shattered by National Com mitteeman Williams, who said the state committee could not name any candi date for a vacancy except that vacancy on the ticket resulted from the death or removal from the state of the can didate originally nominated for the of fice by the party voters. Should Kellaher withdraw from the Republican ticket, Mr. Williams ex plained, a successor could only be placed on the ticket by a mass meeting of Republican electors, consisting of at least 100, or by petition of the re quired number of individual - Repub lican electors, as provided in the di rect primary law. In the meantime Mr. Kellaher con tinues to allow both the Republicans and his Bull Moose friends to specu late as to what action. If any, he will take eventually. He declines abso lutely to intimate what he will do. 5661 Ball Moose Must Sign. Oliver M. Hlckey, who is superin tending the circulation of petitions for the legal formation of the Bull Moose party in this state, yesterday received a letter from Secretary of State Olcott advising him that the petitions must contain 5661 signatures, or 5 per cent of the total number of electors In the state at the last general election, which was HS.zlO. It was also ruled by the Secretary of State that it was not necessary for the electors signing the petitions to give the number of the precinct in which they are registered. The petitions are now being circulated for signatures and must be completed not later than September IS. R.sevelt Is Negative Subject. J.

All kinds of -beans are still plentiful, though some of them, like the rest of us, are no longer as young as they were. Peas, artichokes, okra and mushrooms are among the scarcer vegetables.

Merrick's Fine Qualities as Soldier and Man. - NEWPORT. " Or.. Aug. 81. (To the Editor.) Shocked and saddened, I was loth to believe the report in The Ore- gonian that Corporal Merrick was dead. Recovering somewhat from my sur prise and grief my mind went back through the years to the time of the Spanish-American war when we were both members of Company M Thirty third Michigan Volunteer Infantry. I remember the first time I met him. Our company had almost been recruited and we had been ordered to report at Camp Eaton to be mustered Into the United States service. Our First Lieutenant, Waldo, took his chum, Charlie Merrick, along, and he was mustered In with the company a big, cnori-tiatiired. haDoy-go-lucky fellow rvbodv liked from the first time they saw him. Nor were they ever disappointed, as he proved himself not only a good soldier ana ioyi wutraue, k., 7ith his heartv laugh, wit and stories brightened the hours which for many would have been sad. He was not quite as stout then as he became after coming West, but the rii-iiis were for him a strenuous time. and many are the stories that could be told of his efforts to keep up with his comrades. He was always happy and anxious to get into action, ana none were more cheerful than he when we received orders to report at Camp Al ger, Ta. When at 2 o'clock on that hot morning in June we received orders to break camp and start for Cuba, he be came almost hilarious. On but one occasion aid J. ever see him friehtened. and that was when we were lying behind breastworks on the coast of the Carrlbean Sea, after the two days' fight at Aguadori3 and San tiago. We could have no lights, and the Corporal of the guard had orders not to keep his gun loaded. A few days before we had been given orders not to drink any water until It had been boiled. Just about daylight 1 was getting ready to start on a scout, and was get ting water from a water pipe into which we had picked a hole. Merrick was Corporal of the Guard, and saw me. He ordered me not to get the water. I Joshed him, and he said, "Get nn. or I will shoot you!" Said I, "Shoot away; you could not hit a barn." He placed his gun to nis snouiaer ana pulled the trigger well, he shot my hat off. . . He did not know tne gun was loaded. and when I looked up and smiled at him he dropped the gun on the railroad track. A mement after, with face as white as chalk, he dropped down on the middle of the track, shaking like a leaf In a storm. I remember again while we were In camp at Sandinao he was stricken with fever, and three days after he became delirious and was taken to the fever camp at Siboney. In August he was sent with other convalescents In an old tub to MontaukJ A Flaii From I aiemeit: oiii tbsuiagner.
