TIIE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAN, rORTLAXD, OCTOBER 27, .1913. RE PUBLICANS HOLD RULE IN FORECAST In Washington, Signs, 10 Days Before Election, Show Hay Has Edge. ROOSEVELT,, SPIRIT STRONG State Administration Will Be Re tained by Old Party but Ioss In legislature Will Be FeltDem ocrats' Hope Is Hlslng. BT Sf. M. MATTISON. 8EATTLE, Wash.. Oct 28. (Spe cial.) An election forecast for this tat 10 days before the general elec tion would leave the result on the Presidency In doubt; sire the Repub licans the state administration, show a Republican loss in the Legislature, but still provide for Republican con trol of both branches, and. as a rule provide for Republican successes on the county tickets. Surface indica tions are that Roosevelt has the best of the Presidential fight, but the best posted politicians would not be sur prised if Wilson carried the state and thers are many reasons why a pro Taft prediction would be Justified. Two days ago Robert T. Hodge-, Bull Moose Gubernatorial nominee, was still a big factor in the Gubernatorial fight. Of course things might shape up again so that he would become dangerous, but When Hodge's personal campaign manager admits he is beaten; When Hodge's sponsor in his blg . gest bome meetings hedges and de clares that while he spoke in Hodge's defense ha never Intended to vote for him or to advise anybody else to do so; When the strongest factor in the Progressive Republican League, now defunct, gives up. ana When even John C. Lawrence, Miles Polndexter. J. A. Falconer and other Bull Moose stump speakers begin to omit Hodge's name from their speech es. It looks as though the end had come. Hodge's Managers Blander. Hodge has done so much that is un precedented in politics that a bare possibility that he can overcome al most certain defeat is admitted even by bis opponents, though at the same time even bis friends do not believe It Is possible. Thursday Hodge's campaign man agers blundered. I rlday 'the reaction came and Hodge's managers admitted they had committed the last and fatal blunder. In an Ill-advised circular at tacking the character of Hodge's ex wife the Bull Moose campaign man agers quoted her father as Indorsing Hodge. As soon as be could reach a newspaper office Mrs. Hodge's father, Allan Stark, Sr, denounced the state ment as a "wretched lie" and swore that E. C. Snyder of the Bull Moos campaign committee had distorted his statements, after tricking him into a conference. The result is easily apparent. A public that had partially accepted stories 3f Hodge's domestic delin quencies and had been slowly inclin ing toward th belief that the expo sures reflected upon his personal and official character, .nstantly leaped to i.e conclusion that all that had been said about Hodge was true and that his managers were even going so far as to misrepresent Mrs. Hodge's father in an effort to discre' . her and sava Hodge, the candidate That is th i.ow that provoked Bull Moose managers yesterday to admit privately and even aemi-publlcly that the fight. Insofar as they are con cerned. Is over. Hesitancy Is Costly. Hodge's manage:-- blundered when they did not bring him back imme diately to face the charges against him and if possible to stamp out the erUect at e outsc' Instead they sealed his lips and gave his opponents a week's time to pile up cumulative evidence and finally capped the clime-: with the blunder Indicated. Hodge, -t course, will come back and try to Win King County, but that seems like an imposslole task, 'xue public has turned against him, if, in fact. It ever was for aim. . There is serious room to doubt whether Hodge would have been a formidable candidate without the ex posures of the past week. From con fidential Bull Moose circles comes the story that in all . their polls Hay showed in first place. The Bull Moose will not admit that Hodge was actu ally third in these polls, but the pri vate investigations all showed htm in that place, and there Is no reason to believe that the Bull Moose managers did not know where they stood. According to these same Bull Moose polls Roosevelt ran far ahead, but Hay even outstripped Roosevelt. Soma of th Republican polls show Roosevelt in first place and Democratic inside information is uncertain. XJster Will Gala Moat. It seems to be generally admitted that Lister will gain more than Hay by the disintegration of the Hodge support. But even Democratic leaders doubt whether Lister can close up the gap that now separates him from Hay. Republican statisticians claim it is Im possible, and apparently it Is. Hay ought, on present indications, to win handily. As nearly as it is possible to get to an understanding of popular opinion, the disposition among an unusually large number of voters Is to cut state and county tickets. It Is unquestion ably true that a great number of Dem ocrats and Bull Moose will vote for practically all the Republican tickets except for President. This may be due to habit, for the state has been over whelmingly Republican so long that the ticket looks familiar. Or, it may be that the voters believe the Re publican primaries, having been well attended, resulted In nominating stronger tickets. At the same time, however, there is a disposition in many counties to cut weak Republican nominees, particular ly on the county and legislative tick ets. Old line Republicans, for instance, object to voting for Republican nom inees whom they know are not sup porting the Presidential nominee. And where the Democratic or Bull Moose candidates are strong this resentment will defeat some nominees. Particu larly is this true of the legislative candidates. Socialists Show Gains. It is true that the old line Repub lican prefers to support a Democrat If he has to cut his ticket, and that the Bull Moose, as a species, wants to floclt with the Bourbons rather than return to the fold. So there is strong probability of Democratic gains. That the Bull Moose, strong in cer tain legislative districts, will have about a dozen members of the next Legislature is conceded in some well WITH FIVE GENERATIONS PRESENT, LINN COUNTY PIONEER WILL CELEBRATE 100TH BIRTHDAY. fc. -f---9 vU--r J O t r 3 X ( . .'!..;.; . ... ! ; vj-.i-v '" " . , V: - - j ' 5ppl fvv ' ;;4' : ;: - 1 131 CENTER- CAPTAIX JAMES BLAKELEV) STANDING, TO LEFT, HIS DAl'GHTER, BIRS.

At pres ent the number does not seem to be overdrawn. Whether these members will flock by themselves or affiliate with either of the old parties is an un settled Question. Socialist gains must be counted upon and there are at least four legislative districts where the Socialists have a chance of success. Socialists place the number higher, but four seems to be a fair estimate. In addition th demo crats are sure to gain. Despite these losses In the Legisla ture, which the Republicans must ex pect, there Is no reason to doubt that there will be a substantial working majority of Republicans in both branches. So far as present reports Indicate none of the Republican lead ers who axe seeking to return Is in se rious danger of defeat. A few were wiped out In the primaries, and some Bull Moosed. But after all the strong est men are reasonably certain of returning. THOUSANDS WILL LAPSE APPROXIMATELY $548,208 TO REVERT TO GENERAL FUND. Figures Given by Governor West In clude Appropriations Not Used or Held Up Some Waj. SALEM, Or Oct 28. (Special.) Approximately 1546,203 of the appro priations made by the 1911 legislative session will laps and revert to the general fund, according to an estimate which has been made by Governor West. These will Include appropriations and parts of appropriations that have not been used or have been held up in some manner. The largest Individual item of this sum will be the 2503, 258. 92. which was appropriated in two bills for the University of Oregon. This amount was held up by the referendum petitions which are to go before the people at the general election. In event they should carry and the mlllage bill should carry at the same time it will result in a re peal of the appropriations and the sum will revert to the general fund the same as though the measures fall to carry. Another appropriation of 210,000 for the Brownlee bridge between Oregon and Idaho, across the Snake River, will also lapse, as this appropriation was nullified by eourt proceedings. In the list of appropriations for the Governor's office an appropriation of 1000 for publication of proclamations and of $1200 for rewards have not been expended. Unless some of the reward appropriation is spent both of these ap propriations will revert to the general fund. About 28600 of the appropriation for the State Purchasing Board will not be used and a 1600 apnroprlatlon for the old State Board of Forestry will also be unused. An error was made in figuring the deficiency for the state printing office and that figure was placed at approxi mately $26,000 when it should have been about $10,000 less, and that will also revert. An appropriation of $5000 a year for assistance to bubonic plague sufferers in China, owing to an imper fection in the act, did not become avail able, and another $10,000 which was appropriated will also revert. A levy of $3600 was made for the use of the State Veterinarian and the taxes were raised for that purpose, but the Legislature failed to make an appro priation for that amount, so that sum will also go back to the general fund.

BROWNSVILLE, Or Oct 2. (Spe cial) A birthday unique in that it will not only be the 100th anniversary of the celebrator. Captain James Blakely, but that five successive generations of the Blakely family will be present, will be observed here November 26, at the home of Captain Blakeley s son Henry Blakely. The five generations will be repre sented by the following: Captain James Blakely. Mrs Catherine Lewis, .of Port land. Captain Blakely' s daughter: her son. Minor Lewis: his daughter, Mrs. Mason Wittenberg, and her baby daughter, Mary Alice Wittenberg, whose first birthday anniversary was celebrated October 11. Captain Blakely's friends maintain that he Is the oldest pioneer citizen of Oregon. He was born In Lynes County, Tenn.. November 26, .1812, where he re ceived his early education. He removed to Missouri in 1838, where he remained until April 4, 1846, when he started the long journey across the plains to Ore gon in company with his uncle, Hugh L. Brown, a lire-long Dusiness associate after whom the City of Brownsville was named. They arrived In Linn county, at the place where Brownsville now stands, October 9, 1846, after an event ful journey. They took up donation land claims adjoining. Brownsville now covers the greater portion of these pioneer farms. About the year is&i they started a town and by common consent it was called Brownsville. Indiana Are Subdned. Captain Blakely assisted in the or ganisation of Company E, Oregon Vol unteers, In March, 1866. He was elected Captain and served three months in the Rogue River Indian war. The company was composed of his neigh bors. They arrived home, after com pletely subduing th savages, on July 4, and were given an enthusiastic re ception by the cltltsens. " Besides being one of the founders of Brownsville, Captain Blakely has filled with honor many positions of public trust. He represented Linn County In the State Legislature when Senator Mitchell was elected to the United States Senate the first time. He Is a life-long Democrat, and has always been active In the political affairs of town, county and state. He is a mem ber of the First Presbyterian Church of Brownsville, and for many years took an active part in the affairs and coun cils of that organization. Ten Children Survive. Captain Blakely was married In 1833 at Knoxville, Tenn., to Miss Sarah Dick, now deceased. To them 10 children were born, five sons and five daughters, all of whom are living and all of whom reside in Oregon, with the exception of one daughter, as follows: Mrs. Ellen Montgomery, Crook County, Or.; Mrs. Catherine Lewis, Portland; Mrs. Mar garet Smith, Parrot, Mont.; J. M. Blake, ly, Joseph, Or.; George C. Blakely, The Dalles; J. A. and William Blakely, Pen dleton, and Mrs. Harriet Cooley, Mrs. Sarah McFarland and Henry Blakely, Brownsville. At nresent the honored pioneer is oonflned to the home of his son by Ill ness, but until a few months ago he had always led an active life. He is now sufficiently Improved as to be able to walk about the house occasion ally. Now that ne is nearing me century mark, Captain Blakely s sons and daughters and his many friends are planning on celebrating the event in a befitting manner, provided his health will permit, which appears probable at th present time. PLUM PICKED? ARE SCORED BY H0QS1ER Governor Marshall Tells Idaho That "Pork Barrel" Must Be Relegated. AID TO WILSON IS URGED Read Senator Elihu Root's telegram In section 1, pag 10, under the cap tion "Why." . Vice-Presidential Nominee Says to Send Senators and. Representa tive That Will Stand Be hind Democratic Leader. COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Oct. 26. Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate" today told a Coeur d'Alene audience that the people of the North west particularly and of the country generally, would have to take their minds from the "pork barrel" at Wash ington and direct their efforts and thought to construotiye government before reforms could be expected In the management of the United States. . "As long es you people allow your selves to be controlled by the drip pings from the unlawful and unjust prosperity of the great corporations of this country, you won't progress an Inch in Governmental affairs," said Governor Marshall. Plum-Pickers Discounted. "And that Is exactly what It amounts to when you vote for a Congressman or a Senator merely because that Con gressman or Senator happens to have brought a few material plums In the way of postofflce buildings and other similar things from Washington. "If the Democratlo party Is to be successful, truly, it is up to you to send Senators and Representatives to Washington who will back up Wood row Wilson In the White House. ' It will be impossible for Mr. Wilson to carry out the pledges contained in the Democratic platform If he Is bound hand and foot by a Republican Senate, and a Republican House of Representa tives. Faith Is Retained. "I am out here talking to you peo ple of Idaho because I haven't yet lost faith in the Government of our fathers and because I think at heart you peo ple are loyal to the Republic. "Colonel iioosevelt had his chance for seven and one-half years. Presi dent Taft has had his chance. Neither did a thing in the way of effectively curbing the fleecing of the people by the big business interests of the country. "Now I .ask you to give Woodrow Wilson a chance."
