HIGHER OPINION SUGGESTED
LINCOLN DINNER IS FIRST
;Jia;, A

Progressives Propose to Maintain
Own Organization in Spite of De
sertions It. S. Darrcli and
Gus C. Moser in Race.
The Republicans of Oregon having
succeeded in perfecting the organiza
tion of an active and aggressive polit
ical club, some new- life and energy
will be instilled into the campaign of
the coming Summer and Fall.
The club has its nucleus in the or
Kanlzation that was formed at the Ma
oonlc Temple last Thursday night, but
soon will extend branches through
every county of the state. It is ex
pected that Its influence will be felt
In every voting precinct of Oregon.
One of the first activities in which
the club expects to engage is the pop
ular dinner on the night of February
12. Lincoln's birthday. A committee
now has charge of the preliminary ar
rangements and a detailed programme
probably will be ready within a few
days. The dinner probably will be held
In the Chamber of Commerce dining
room. It is believed that all factions of the
Republican strength in the state are
amalgamated in the new organization.
The list of officers contains a heavy
sprinkling of former Progressives and
of progressive Republicans.
John McCourt. the president, is ex
United States Attorney, having been
appointed by President Roosevelt. The
other officers are: First vice-president.
Charles A. Johns; second vice
president, V. A. Carter; third vice
president, George Arthur Brown; sec
retary, John Y. Richardson; treasurer.
J. I Day: executive committee. A. A.
Muck. Phil Metschan. Jr., G. VT. Bald
win. W. M. Cake, Dr. Earl Smith, Ham
ilton Johnstone. James E. Brockway
and M. B. McFaul. The president also
Is a member of the executive com
mittee. President McCourt expects to call a
meeting of the executive committee to
take place early this week. Plans for
further meetings of the whole club
then will be arranged. While some
meetings will be held prior to the pri
maries, the club's principal activity
will be directed through the campaign
immediately preceding the election.
"The club will take no part what
ever in the primary contests." said
President McCourt yesterday. "It wilj
Indorse no candidates and will not
restrict the rights of any citizen to
run for office.
"Our principal work will be after
the primaries and during the pre-election
campaign. Meanwhile, however,
we expect to have the Republican
strength or the state well organized
so that we can present the most for
midable front to the opposition when
election day comes."
Despite the almost wholesale deser
tion of former Progressives in a scram
ble to amalgamate with the rejuve
nated Republican party, the Progres
sive organization of the state will be
maintained, said T. B. Neuhausen, state
chairman, yesterday.
"We expect to send a full delegation
to the Progressive convention at Chi
cago." said Mr. Neuhausen. "The Pro
gressives intend to nominate their own
candidate for President, but It Is their
hope that they will be able to unite
with the Republican convention in the
choice of the same man.
"Unless the Republicans nominate
someone who is acceptable to the Pro
gressives, the Progressives will nomi
nate someone else."
Mr. Neuhausen expects soon to leave
on an Kastern trip, and will consult
with Progressive leaders in New York.
Chicago and elsewhere.
Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. Progressive
National committeeman from Oregon,
who' has been attending the Progres
sive "powwow" in Chicago for the last
few weeks, is expected home today.
Klmer J. Burkett. ex-United States
Senator from Nebraska, is seeking the
Republican nomination, for Vice-President,
and his friends are starting an
active campaign in his behalf. He has
opened headquarters in Omaha. Sena
tor Burkett visited Portland last Sum
mer. He is well known here, and will
have many supporters among the Re
publicans of the state. It Is probable
that his name will be placed on the
ballot at the Republican primaries. j
A good:sized crop of Senatorial can
didates is developing among the Re
publicans of Multnomah County. Al
though only five nominations are to
be made, it is possible that a full dozen
aspirants mill be in the field.
Only two definite announcements
have been made so far. They are
by R. S. Darrell. one of the Senators
whose terms expire, and F. H. Ransom,
manager of the Eastern & Western
Lumber Company.
Gus C Moser. another of the retiring
Senators, will be a candidate for re
election. He is expected to file his
nomination petition within a few days.
I. X. Day and Dr. T. L. Perkins, also
among the retiring members, have not
determined whether they will run
again. It is probable that Senator Day
will be In the race.
J. D. Abbott, a former member of
the lower house, also is being consid
ered for a pla.-e on the Senatorial
ticket. John 11. Fureard. C. W. Hodson.
Ben Selling. S. B. Huston and George
M. HyUnil are among the other possi
bilities. John Y. Richardson, secretary of the
new Orecon Republican Club, of which
John McCourt is president, announced
esterd.iy that 108? names are signed
to the rlilb's membership rolls. A few
of these are probably duplicates, but it
seems certain that the membership will
reach the 100 mark. Mr. Richardson

earliest convenience of members to his

PLANS FOR POUND ASKED
Mr. Baker Wants to Know How So
ciety Will Spend Surplus.
That tha Citv Council may have defi
nite information as to plans of the
Oregon Humane Society for the city
dog pound when it assumes control.
City Commissioner Baker yesterday
sent a letter to the society asking for
a detailed statement.
While the Council has voted to turn
the -pound over to the society, the ques
tion of the amount of the aog licenses
m he sriven the society has not been
determined. The society has asked for
SO per cent, which would mean 14000
a year more than the present cost of
operating the pound. Mr. Baker in his
letter asks for a full statement as to
what would be done with any amount
over the present cost of the pound.
His letter follows:

Ground Purchased to Eliminate Jos
nt Wheeler Street.
Broadway will be paved to the en
trance of the bridge probably from
Union avenue early this Spring, ac
cording to the report submitted at the
meeting of the Albina Business Men's

the report was that the grade of Wil
liams avenue, at its intersection with
Broadway, will be lowered three feet
when the improvement is made and
that the jog in Broadway, between Van
couver avenue and Wheeler street, will
be eliminated.
Provisions for cutting out the jos of

Ruling by Attorney-General Crged.
Many Democrats Are Dissatis
fied With Woodrow Wilson
League of Portland.
W. S. TTRen, for many years of Ore
gon City but now a resident and prac
ticing attorney of Portland, widely
known as father of the "Oregon Sys
tem," takes issue with the general be
lief that the last Legislature in amend
ing the law of 1911 providing for the
election of delegates to party National
conventions, repealed the provision al
lowing each such delegate his expenses
up to $200.
- Before arriving at this opinion Mr.
URen devoted a couple of days to
study of the law. He says he cannot
find anything in the new act, which
is Chapter 243 of the General Laws of
Oregon for 1915, which repeals the $200
clause.
Section 10, Mr. TTRen points out, pro
vides that "That portion of chapter
five of the General Laws of Oregon
for the year 1911 and all other acts or
parts of acts in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed."
"But there isn't a thing in the pres
ent act so far as I have been able to
see after the most careful study, that
in any way conflicts with the pro
vision that the state shall pay the ex
penses of delegates," commented Mr.
U'Ren yesterday.
"Consequently, not being in conflict
with the 1915 law, the 200 provision
of the 1911 law certainly is in effect
in my opinion. I should like to see a
ruling by the Attorney-General on this
point, for it means a great deal to
many who cannot afford to devote
their time and expenses to the cause,
but who would run for delegate if
they could have their expense paid up
to $200.
"The $200 provision permits the poor
man to participate actively in politics.
The other construction limits the dele
gation to rich men, or those who can
get somebody to pay their expenses.
Many Democrats do not hesitate to
express their dissatisfaction with the
Woodrow Wilson Jjeague or t-oriiana.
To begin with, they say there is ab
solutely no need of such an organiza
tion at this time, nearly three montns
before the primary election, with not
even a cloud on tha horizon to indicate
that any candidate will be brought
forth to oppose Mr. Wilson for the
nomination." But the nub of the dif
ficulty seems to be that G. Y. Harry,
general organizer of the league, of
which Dr. C. J. Smith, former Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, is presi
dent, is drawing a nice little salary or
$100 a month for his work.
There are even some of these dis
senting brethren who go so far as to
intimate that the chief purpose of the
organization at this time is to provide
wherewithal to pay the general organ
izer's salary. They point out, likewise,
that whereas the league purports to be
non-partisan, all the officers are Dem
ocrats, a situation they do not regard
as especially attractive to possible Re
publican admirers of the President.
P. J. Phillips, of Nyssa, Or., is a can
didate for joint Representative in the
lower House of the next Legislature
from Harney and Malheur Counties.
He is a Republican.
The Progressive party appears to
have several Barkises who are
"willin"," despite amalgamation talk
to become candidates for delegates to
the Progressive National Convention at
Chicago, June .7. According to word
received by Secretary of- State Olcott
from John W. McGrath, of Oyster Bay,
member of the Progressive National
Committee, Oregon has been appor
tioned five delegates for the conven
tion. Both the Democrats and Repub
licans are to have ten delegates from
this state. Oregon Progressives attach
considerable significance to the fact
that Mr. McGrath, besides being mem
ber of the Progressive National Com
mittee, is also private secretary to
Colonel Roosevelt.
Among the Progressives likely to
run for delegate are David L. Povey,
of Portland, from this district; D. J.
Cooper, of The Dalles, from the Second
District, and Fred Mears, of Medford,
from the First District. Two delegates
are also to be elected at largo, and
Colonel Emmet Callahan is mentioned
for one of the places. T. B. Neuhausen,
state chairman of the Progressive party
in Oregon, will undoubtedly attend the
convention in his official capacity.
