Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, N PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 22, 1914. " 7 V V DEMOCRATIC SPLIT FOR SENATOR SURE Second Choice Votes to Deter mine Party Candidate at May Primaries. PROGRESSIVES ALSO HIT Bill for Direct Election of Members of Upper House Brings Oat New Situation in Washington Po litical Alignment.. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 21. (Special.) - If the bill recently passed by the Senate to provide machinery for the direct election of United States Sen ators passes the House of Representa tives in the same form, second-choice votes will play a big factor in the Democratic and possibly In the Pro gressive primaries in Washington. Copies of the bill received by Gov ernor Lister show that the measure provides that in each state Senators are to be nominated and elected In the same manner as Is provided for Repre-sentatlves-at-Large, but if there Is no law providing- specifically for the elec tion of Representatlves-at-Large, as in the case in Washington, then the laws for the nomination and election of state officials are to be followed. Under the state laws, whenever there are four or more candidates for a nom ination, both first and second choices must be voted. Poor Democrats Enter Race. Four Democrats, Mayor George F. Cotterill, of Seattle: State Chairman Hugh C. Todd, of Seattle; Judge W. W. Black, of Everett, and ex-Senator George Turner, of Spokane, are regard ed as In the race, though Senator Tur ner has not yet made formal announce ment of his candidacy. Of the four, Todd. Cotterill and Black all claim the support of the more radical element of the party, while Turner, it is admitted, would draw his strength from the con servative faction. . With second-choice voting, however. It is argued that a voter giving his first-choice vote to Cotterill would throw his second choice to Todd or Black, while those giving Turner first-choice votes would be compelled to vote their second choices for one of the three other Democrats. The same argument might apply if the prohibition fight becomes a political Issue, which appears not unlikely, as Cotterill, Todd and Black are all strongly "dry," while Senator Turner would be more likely to command the support of the "wet" element. Whether second-choice voting is like ly to obtain in the Progressive pri maries Is not certain. There - three announced candidates at present in Representatives J. A. Falconer and G. W. Bruan and Ole Hanson. A fourth candidate would insure the second choice. Kactlons Fight for Control. A distinct element of the September primaries this year promises to be a fight of the Turner-Wallace faction to obtain control of the organization. Tur ner and Wallace controlled the Walla Walla convention in 1913, but allowed the opposing element to gain control of the state organization after Wilson had been nominated. However, the organization has proved to have little influence In patronage, and Wallace and Turner, with the reported aid of Senator Poindexter, Progressive, have distributed some of the richest plums. In Spokane a similar condition pre vails, for the anti-organization Demo crats are challenging County Chairman W. H. Cochran to call a meeting of the county committee and ask a vote ot confidence. Cochrane recently fuller! in win appointment as Spokane postmas ter, ana nis enemies have since been endeavoring to unseat him as county vnairman.

For many miles from Davenport on every hillside could be seen thousands of these snowballs, and on the Courthouse yard here in Davenport some of the balls assumed maxi mum proportions. A snowfall of a half inch of the right constitu ency had fallen on a hard crust of snow, and when the strong gust of wind blew, the balls rolled, the largest ones being those that rolled up the hills.

CARELESSNESS IS FACTOR Labor Commissioner Says Only 2.9 Per Cent of Injuries Are Caused by Lack of, Safeguards Total Number Is Increasing. OLTMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 2L (Special.) Organization of mill and factory workers for their own protection I Jt J - . - J? ' - - , - against Injury has been decided upon by Labor Commissioner Olson and the three members of the Industrial In surance Commission, as the means that will be pursued to combat the rapid in crease of accidents shown by the first two years experience under the Wash ington compensation act. Co-operation between mill owners and employes will be sought. In each mill or factory a "safety committee" of three employes will be formed. This committee will receive complaints of workmen as to faulty conditions of ma chinery, suggestions for possible lm provements that will guarantee safety. and will be personally responsible to the workmen for the safe condition of the plant. A. H. Garrison, secretary of the United Metal Trades Association of the Pacific Coast, has taken the proposal up with employers in that Industry and the suggested safety committees have been named in several plants. State officials plan to concentrate their efforts at first upon the saw and lumber mills and other wood working establishments, and hope to persuade the workers in these Indus tries that it is to their own advantage to prevent accidents. Booklet To Be Published. In addition the Labor Commissioner and Industrial Insurance Commission will put out a booklet for distribution by the safety committees to workmen as they enter the plant. This book will contain information on first-aid treatment, prepared by Dr. J. W. Mow elL chief physician of the Industrial Insurance Commission, and simple hints on how to avoid accidents and in structions as to procedure to obtain compensation if injured. The commie slons also will take up with the em ployers the proposal to provide proper first aid" kits of bandages, absorbent cotton and antiseptics. "By Interesting the men in looking after their own safety and that of their fellows, we believe best headway can be made," said Labor Commissioner Ol son, announcing the plans of the two departments. "The reports to the In dustrial Insurance Commission indicate that accidents are increasing, rather than decreasing. I am informed that in Germany, with 30 years under a sys tern of compensation, a steady increase in the accident rate has been observed. Some means undoubtedly must be taken to check this. Little Lack of Safegmards. "The statistics of the industrial in surance department show that only 2.9 per cent of all accidents can be at trlbuted to the absence of safeguards. While our factory Inspectors are work ing to improve the safeguard situation and to eliminate this small percentage of accident, we will try to induce the workmen to take an interest in elimi nating the 97.1 per cent." That - carelessness, rather than fatigue or dangerous machinery, is responsible for the large proportion of acicdents, is Indicated by statistical tables prepared by the Washington commission. One table, indicating the time of day at which accidents occur. shows that the largest number do no com at the close of the day, when the workmen might be expected to be tired but in the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon, when th work has become monotonous and the movements of the men are largely me rhanical. Specialization, which tends to make work mechanical and call for less watchfulness and interest in the work, is also believed to be a factor in th increasing percentage of accidents re ported. GERMANS SCORE DEWEY AD5IIRAL- CALLED "BRAGGART," "TELLER OP HALF-TRUTHS." Official Berlin Ignores Reventlow Tirade Against Yankee "Hero of Manila Bay." - " BERLIN, Feb. 21. Interest in th controversy over the Incident that oc curred at Manila Bay between Ad miral Dewey and Admiral Von Diederichs in tne Spanish-American war is confined largely to the naval writer.

Admiral Von Diederichs, although till carried on the list of naval officers. ong ago retired from active connec tion with the Navy and is now living n the country near Baden-Baden. A statement from him on the subject is expected to be issued in three or four days.

This was corrected today when the name of Admiral Von Diederichs was substi tuted for that of Admiral Dewey. " ROCK PLANT DYNAMITED BLAST UNDER QUARRY CRUSHER ENDANGERS FOUR LIVES.
