THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 1920
REGISTERED VOTERS
IN SEATTLE 109,871
45 Per Cent of Washington's
Vote in King County.
'PRIMARY IS ON TUESDAY
Candidates for Nominations Mass
Forces on West Side for Final
Drive of . Campaign.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 11. Regis
tration in Seattle ,for the primaries
next Tuesday is 109,871 and in King
county outside Seattle 17.265, a total
of 127.136 for the entire county. State
registration is 280.000 In round fig
ures, so that more than 45 per cent
of the registered vote of the state is
In King county.
These figures serve to indicate Just
why the republican candidates for
governor and lieutenant-governor
flocked to Seattle in the closing -days
of the campaign and massed their
forces on the west side for the final
drive.
Jonrl Maintains Lead.
United States Senator Jones has
maintained the lead throughout the
state in the contest for senatorial
nomination. Colonel Inglis, Forest L.
Hudson, the latter the candidate of
the organized railway men of the
state, and Frank Erickson of Everett
are the other candidates, and prob
ably will run In the order named.
George F". Cotterill is unopposed for
the democratic nomination.
There are three candidates on the
republican ticket seeking the nomi
nation for congress in the 1st district.
Representative Miller of Seattle,
Frank Fierce of Harper,. Kitsap
county, and H. Alvln Moore, a rail
road man of Seattle. Miller is the
favorite in this race, although none
of the candidates has made what
might be called an aggressive pri
mary campaign. Hugh C. Todd is the
democratic nominee. Representative
Hadley of the 2d district, republican,
is unopposed in his own party, and
the democrats did not put up a can
didate against him. Representative
Johnson, in the 3d district, has no
republican opposition.
Miller la Unopposed.
G. P. Flshburne of Tacoma will
make the race for the democrats. In
the 4th district Representative Sum
mers is opposed in the republican
primary by Captain E. K. Brown, an
ex-service man and former member of
the legislature from Ellensburg. Fred
Miller of Colfax is the democratic
candidate without opposition.
Interest in the congressional con
tests centers on the 5th district where
Representative Webster is opposed by
Tom Corkery, the candidate .of the
Non-partisan league, the railway
men's welfare league and all radical
elements. Organized labor In the 5th
district has united its forces and fac
tions in an endeavor to defeat Judge
Webster for the nomination, but this
radical opposition has served to unite
the conservative forces. The demo
crats have but one candidate. Mayor
Fleming of Spokane, so that Judge
Webster will have to fight everyinch
of the ground for nomination and
lection.
Gubernatorial Contest Uncertain.
If betting decided elections, the
bettors would be In a quandary as to
whom to put their money on for the
republican nomination for governor.
The contest has notsimmered down
to a sure thing for any of the lead
ing candidates. Hartley, Hart, Co
man, Gellatly and Lamping are all
the beneficiaries of group support.
Hartley is a slight favorite in the
betting, with Hart a close second. The
odds might change over night, how
ever, because of the uncertainty of
what is known as the radical vote
which is behind the farm-labor party
movement: If the third party decides
to Invade the republican primaries on
Tuesday, it might put a different as
pect on the standing of the leading
candidates. John Stringer is not con
sidered a factor in the contest nor is
Anna MacEachern.
John A. Gellatly has been hammer
ing away in every part of the state
for several weeks, and undoubtedly
has won many friends. Analysis of
the situation in reference to Gellatly
would place him in the position of
the man of mystery, nobody caring
to hazard a guess as to his strength,
but everybody admitting that he has
the field puzzled. Gellatly proved
himself a campaigner of ability and
a forceful speaker.
Drys Indorse Gellatly.
The announcement tonight that
Gellatly has corralled the indorse
ment of the state prohibition party
caused somewhat of a furore in po
litical circles. Telephone wires to
Tacoma were kept hot to verify the
report. W. W. McDowell, state chair
man of the party, whose home la in
Tacoma, is said to have declared that
the entire party organization had
been working quietly for Gellatly for
some time, and would continue to do
so. He further said the party sup
port was unsolicited.
Senator Coman of Spokane has
made extraordinary gains on the west
side since the arrival of E. E. Flood.
Frank M. Goodwin and Julius Zlttel
to manage his campaign here. It Is
his assertion that he will come to the
west side with 25,000 votes to spare
next Tuesday.
Jndd-Black Honors TCven.
In the democratic contest for gov
ernor. Senator Judd of Chehalis is
making the fight for the Lister fac
tlon against Judge Black of Everett
and Mayor Mathes of Bellingham.
Senator O'Hara of Seattle Is running
as a labor democrat, but his can
didacy has attracted no support in
labor circles, where he should be
strongest. Organized labor has
aligned itself with the farmer-labor
party. The democratic contest Is be
tween Judd and Black, with honors
about evenly divided.
W. W. Conner has made the most
progress in the republican cantest for
lieutenant-governor. Conner came
into the fight later than the others,
but lost no time in submitting his
candidacy to the people. His most
aggressive competitors have been
Senators Phipps of Spokane and E. L.
French of Vancouver. Former Sena
tor Sharpstein of Walla Walla and
William J. Coyle of Seattle are the
other candidates.
ComnerO Acquaintance Lara.
The strength of Conner's candidacy
lies in nis large acquaintance through
out the state, his four terms as a
member of the lower house of the leg
lsiature, one oi wnich he served as
speaker, and the Important legislation
handled by him as floor leader. Yes
terday the railway employes of the
state took a hand In Conner's candi
dacy, circulating a statement Issued
by James A. Gannon to the effect
that had It not been for Conner's per
sonal efforts in the session of 1915,
over which he presided as speaker,
the full train crew law would have
been repealed.
"The bill was repealed In the sen.
ate and saved in the house by Senator 1
Conner. Tou should see all railroad
men are advised that it was Conner
alone who saved the full crew bill,"
wired Mr. Gannon to Ed L. Hamilton,
locomotive engineer on the Milwau
kee. Senator French has served 12 years
in the legislature, house and senate,
and Senator Phipps ten years in the
house and senate. H. C. Bohlke of
Grandvlew, a former member of the
house from King county, is the dem
ocratic candidate without opposition.
Secretary of State Hlnkle and Clark
V. Savidge, commissioner of public
lands, are unopposed for the repub
lican nominations.
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, who
is serving her second term as super
intendent of public instruction, is op
posed by Mrs. Elizabeth Catherine
Montgomery of Bellingham as the
democratic candidate. State Insurance
Commissioner Fishback has as his op
ponent for the republican nomination
Captain Robert E. Dwyer of Seattle,
an ex-service man and former mem
ber of the legislature. Jesse F.
Murphy of Seattle filed on the demo
cratic ticket. Attorney-General L. L.
Thompson of Olympia and Thomas
Francis Hunt of Seattle are candi
dates for attorneygeneral, with John
W. Hanna of Wenatchee as the dem
ocratic candidate.
Babcock Leads Contest.
Clifford L. Babcock, former member
of the legislature from Clallam
county, is leading in the contest for
state treasurer In a field of three
republican aspirants. John B. Orton
of Aberdeen and John L. Murray of
Friday Harbor are the other candi
dates. C. C. Gibson of Davenport is
the democratic nominee. C. W. Claus
sen, state auditor, serving his fourth
term in that position, is opposed by
George A. Bundy of Seattle for the
republican nomination. No democrat
filed for this -office.
With the exception of the contest
for governor, there are no democratic
primary contests for state offices. At
the democratic conference held in
Seattle a month ago, members of the
party were drafted for service and
urged to file for the offices as a
duty they owed the party rather than
with the expectation that they would
win in November. Although the dem
ocrats elected the governor of the
state in 1912 and 1916, they carried
no other state offices, nor were they
successful In capturing either branch
of the legislature.
Pactional Fight la Factnrc.
This year they are concentrating
on the head of the national ticket and
practically no effort has been ex
pended on the state contests. The
fight between the Lister and Black
factions is the only feature of inter
est in the democratic primaries, but
it represents a breach so serious
that no effort will be spared to cast
the full democratic vote on Tuesday.
The farmer-labor party will meet
in convention at the Labor temple
Tuesday morning and nominate a
state ticket headed by Robert Bridges
for governor. Seven presidential elec
tors also will be nominated and, it
is announced, a complete state and
congressional ticket, although indica
tions are that no nominations will be
made for congress in the 5th district
and perhaps United States senator.
Nearly all of the candidates to be
nominated by the third party will
first be "recommended" to the state
convention by the state central com
mittee, which is another way of
handpicklng nominees.

NAHANT, Mass.. Sept. 11. Senator
Lodge, in an address here today, at
tacked what he said was the effort
of President Wilson to make of the
United States a one-mah government.
The president's conception of gov
ernment, he said, is that of the third
Napoleon. He charged that the presi
dent had established "such a reign of
terror over many representatives and
senators of his own party that the
legislative powers of the constitution
granted to congress alone were im
paired and distorted."
Senator Lodge said President Wil
son's Autocratic administration af
fected every department of the gov
ernment. The navy and war depart
ments, he said, were marked by "a
favoritism in appointment oh one
hand and on the other a vindictive
spirit toward officers not liked by
the secretaries."
Barnett's Hemoval Cited.
As instances he gave the removal
of General Barnett, who was com
mandant of marines during the war;
refusal of President Wilson and Sec
retary Baker to permit Theodore
Roosevelt to raise a division of vol
unteers after congress gave author
ity; "the treatment of General Wood"
and the fact that General Edwards,
senior brigadier-general when war
was declared, after leading the 26th
division in action overseas, is still
the senior brigadier-general, and re
cently has been deprived of his com
mand of the northeast department.
"One of the leading demands of the
republican platform and one of the
issues which Senator Harding has
most strongly emphasized is that we
should bring the government back o
the system and the forms of the con
stitution which we have always fol
lowed thus far," said Senator Lodge.
"We all know in a general way what
this means and I believe the people
appreciate the dangers of the system
Mr. Wilson has endeavored to substi
tute for the methods of the constitu
tion."
Wilson Is Quoted.
ne senator quoted from a passage
in one of President Wilson's books
as illustrating his conception of gov
ernment and continued:
"By his acts also is his conception
shown to be that of the third Napo
leon, an autocrat elected by a plebis
cite uncontrolled by any intervening
egislative or Judicial authority.
It was impossible for Mr. Wilson
to obtain a league of nations without
assent of the senate, but he endeav
ored to evade and. practically nullify
the rightful power of the senate by
attaching to the treat of peace with
Germany, which everybody desired,
the covenant of the league of nations.
which ought to have been separately
considered because it bound the coun
try for an Indefinite future. His plan
was simple. He aimed to compel the
senate to- ratify the covenant by forc
ing upon them the alternative of
holding up the treaty of peace wtth
Germany, which ,all men desired to
have disposed of at once.
Senate Coarse Justified.
'Colonel House recently has stated
publicly that if we had followed ihe
course -advocated In the senate be
fore the negotiations began and made
the treaty of peace with Germany
at once immediately after the armis
tlce, it would have been complete and
ready for ratification by Christmas.
'Mr. Wilson has adopted the auto
cratic method in another direction
He has carried on his relations with
foreign nations and his negotiations
largely through personal agents.
Senator Lodge mentioned in this
connection Bayard Hale and Colonel
House.
"These cases in a very general way,
the senator concluded, "illustrate the
dangers to which Mr. Wilson's theory
of government has exposed us and
there is nothing more important than
to bring our government back to the
observance of the constitutional pro
visions under which we have lived and
prospered " -

BONUS IS HELD PENSION

trfl
THE SHOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Judge McConrt Rules That Execu
tion Cannot Apply to Boun
ties of Government.
The $60 bonus awarded a soldier at
his discharge at the end of the world
war is classed as a pension, and there
fore exempt from attachment and
execution, in a decision handed down
by Circuit Judge McCourt yesterday.
The.case in which this opinion was
given involved an ex-soldier named
Chandler, whose $60 bonus check from
the government had been seized and
was being held by the sheriff at the
demand of a creditor. Judge McCourt
yesterday ordered the voucher re
leased from attachment, and said that
the person "who had placed it there
had violated a trust created when
the envelope containing the check
fell into bis hands.
"Pensions are defined to be the
bounties of the government paid to
an individual in consideration of
services rendered or in recognition
of merit, civil or military," ruled
Judge McCourt. "A pension usually
is paid In (sums at stated periods,
but I do not think that this is
necessary incident to a-, pension. The
government might pay the whole sum
at once, and it does not deprive the
bounty of its characterization as
pension because paid in one payment.
"I ami of the opinion that the
voucher attempted to be attached in
this case comes within the definition
and meaning of a pension under ths
statutes which exempt the same from
execution or attachment."
