8 TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBEIT 3, 1916. A FIGHT OH FOGARTY CARRIED TO WILSON J. D. Trenholme Says Defeat of Democrats Is Due to ' Leadership of Party. REMOVAL OF TWO ASKED Customs and Internal Revenue Col lectors Are Declared to Hare Been Responsible for Xioss of Sen ator and Representatives. 6EATTLE, "Wash.. Dec. 2. (Special.) J. D. Trenholme, 'Who recently de manded that John B. Fogarty resign as chairman of the Democratic State Committee, has carried his fight to the National Capital. He Cias filed formal charges against Roscoe M. Drumheller, Collector of Customs, formerly of "Walla "Walla, and David. J. "Williams, of Tacoma, Collector of Internal Revenue. Trenholme asks President "Wilson to remove both officials because of what he terms their pernicious political ao tlvity and violation of department or ders forbidding appointees to take part In factional politics. Seven specific charges art made r.galnst the two Federal officials, and Mr. Trenholme adds Jt lengthy state ment reviewing each of tile charges. The split in the Democratic party Is declared to be responsible for the loss of at least two seats In the lower house of Congress and to be partly respon sible for the defeat of George Turner, Senatorial nominee. Another Active Worker Exempt. No attack Is made on Henry M. "White, immigration commissioner, who also was active in the fight Oat made Fogarty state chairman. After formally setting up the seven reasons why he wants Mr. "Williams and Mr. Drumheller removed from of fice, Mr. Trenholme goes into the situ ation in direct appeal to President "Wilson filed this ween, and which reads: In May, 1918, the DemoonH of the tate of Washington hela their state convention In the city of North Yakima. At that time and place the above-named Federal official! were the most active delegates present, at tempting to. foist the candidacy of John B. Fogarty for National committeeman on the delegates there assembled. Their activities In his Interest were Incessant and notoriously scandalous. Orders Violated, He Says. During the weeks prior to the stats eon venfton, in direct violation of Instructions from their- superior officials they combed the state of Washington to secure pledges from county delegations for the support of their candidate. As a result of a protest among the del egates at the state convention a confer ence was held by the leaders there as sembled, which resulted In the election of Hon. Hugh C. Wallace In place of Mr. Fogarty as National committeeman, with the definite understanding that when tho state committee met in September a pro gressive Democrat satisfactory to Brnest Lister and George Turner, candidates for Governor and United States Senator re spectively, would be chosen as chairman of the Democratlo State Committee. Further Intimidation Charged. The Democratlo fitate Convention subse quently met In Seattle on September 29, 1916, for the purpose of selecting a chair man of the state committee to conduct the National and state campaign, when again these two Federal officials above named appeared on the scene and duplicated their activity at the state convention by again intimidating and coercing members of the state committee to vote for John B. Fogarty as state chairman, disregarding the above mentioned understanding at North Yakima. At this meeting of the Democratlo State Committee Collector of Customs Roscoe M. Drumheller hold and voted proxies of five members of the stats committee, and Col lector of Internal Revenue D. J. Williams cast his own vote as a member of the state committee and besides voted one proxy. Threats Are Alleged. 'Collector of Customs Drumheller stated to R. W. Starr, member of the state com mittee from Okajiogan County, who. had re peatedly stated during the day that he would vote agal&st Mr. Fogarty for state chairman, that 1C he did not cast his vote at the meeting of the state committee for Mr. Fogarty for state chairman he would not be appointed to the position of Reg istrar of Land Office, a Federal posltioa to which Mr. Starr aspired. Collector of Customs Drumheller also told C. I Holcomb, representing Benton County, that If he did not vote for Mr. Fogarty for state chairman a certain postoffice ap pointment which he desired for a friend of his In his county would be placed In Jeopardy. Collector of Customs Drumheller also warned United States Attorney Clay Allen, and practically threatened the security of his position as United States Attorney un less he lined up with the other Federal officials behind the candidacy of Mr. Fogarty. This United States Attorney Allen refused to do. Candidates Reported Against. Expressions were obtained from George Turner, candidate for United States Sen ator; Ernest Lister, candidate for Gov pernor; George Cotterlll, candidate for Con gress from tho First District; J. M. Tadlock, candidate for Secretary of State, and other candidates, and every one of them, with but a single exception, vigorously opposed the selection of Mr. Fogarty and expressed a choice for Julius Zittel as state chairman, the man tentatively agreed upon at North Yakima. Senator Georne Turner pleaded with these : HOW TO BE SLIM If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds, don't starve and weaken your system, or think you must J always be laughed at on account v of your fat, but go to any good druggist and get a box of Oil of Korein capsules, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. "Weigh yourself once a week and note what a pleasant and reliable method this Is for removing su- perfluous fat from any part of the body. It costs little, is absolutely J harmless, and a week's trial should convince anyone that It is a, unnecessary to be burdened with even a single pound of unsightly fat.

Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It Is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, r s it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vege table, therefore harmless, Adv. ' officials not to break the agreement made with the rank and file at North Yakima, but these Federal officials openly stated that their reappointment to the positions which they now occupied was more Im portant to them than the election of a Dem ocratic Senator or Democratic Congressmen from the state of Washington, and conse quently they were supporting a man for stats chairman that they could depend upon to recommend them to the President for reappointment. Fogarty Elected by One Vote. Therefore, when the state commutes took a vote on the candidates for state chair man, on account of the pernicious activity of these two Federal officials as leaders, and on acconnt of the above mentioned threats Mr. Fogarty was elected by a vote of 19 to 18. Immediately upon the selection of John B. Fogarty as state chairman. Governor Lister, who was a candidate for re-election, repudiated the selection of Mr. Fogarty and declared that his selection was procured by coercion and threats by Federal officials, trickery, broken promises and violated pledges, and that as Mr. Fogarty was not In sympathy with ths progresslvs Ideas of tho Governor the latter could not recognize Mr. Fogarty In the conduct of his campaign for re-election. Governor Lister Immediately appointed his own campaign manager and selected a cam paign committee of his own, which success fully conducted the Governor's campaign for re-election. As a result of the election of Mr. Fogarty as state chairman, tho campaigns of the Congressmen and the. campaign of Senator Turner wero left' for the individual candi dates to make themselves, and Senator Tur ner feels that this pernicious political activ ity on the part of these Federal officials In selecting a state ohalrman primarily for their own benefit and In disregard of (he Interests of the candidates for elective po sitions, is largely responsible for this state not electing several Democrats to Congress FOUR GENERATIONS PRESENT AT GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Editor Portland Journal, Portland, Or. Dear Sir: My attention has been called to an editorial in your issue) of November 30 in which you state, "It is not fair nor Just fpr Governor Withycombe and State Treasurer Kay to attempt, by in direction or evasion, to cast the entire burden of the 6 per cent tax-limitation amendment upon the counties and; other taxing districts of the state," and I desire to state that I most emphatically agree with you in this assertion and repeat what I stated to you in a com munication under date of November 17, as follows: "Since the voters of the state have expressed their desire to have the ex penditures limited to t per cent ln crase.
