FEAR Will. OLCOTT
MOTHERS' DAY, TO BE CELEBRATED SUNDAY, MAY 14, RECALLS
MANNER IN WHICH OBSERVANCE WAS BROUGHT ABOUT.
Eleven Days Remain Before
Issues Go to Voters,
QUICK COUNT EXPECTED
Double System of Judges and
Clerks Is Likely to Reveal
Results by Midnight.
Eleven days of the primary cam
paign remain. In that period the re
sults will be determined and active
candidates are striving to make each
day count.
With the double system of judges
and clerks, the counting board going
to work -at 10 A. M. on May 19, the
results should be known by midnight
of primary day, save where there are
very close contests. This applies, too,
on the governorship. It is the first
time that the counting will he only
20 ballots behind the receiving board
and, if the law is respected and no
leaks are developed, the results will
be only a short distance behind the
Closing of the polls.
Gubernatorial Struggle Keen.
As the candidates for governor
swing into the home stretch, the
struggle is becoming more keen,
statements from the various political
camps show that Governor Olcott is
the man each of the others is trying
to beat. The Charles Hall managers
say that Mr. Olcott Is the man they
must beat. The Patterson supporters
say the same and lieutenants of
George A. White assert that the only
man they have to beat is Mr. Olcott.
This is also the view taken by Louis
XL Bean backers and those of J. D. Lee.
These admissions place Olcott, the in
cumbent, as the strong man, but this
Is the only point on which there is
agreement, for each of the aspirants
counts on defeating Olcott.
Eastern Oregon to Be Invaded.
Patterson and White are planning
an Invasion of eastern Oregon; Lee
and Bean have already been in that
section, and Hall is also headed for
east of the Cascades. The programme
of all the candidates for governor,
save Olcott, who is remaining at
Salem, is to finish the campaign in
Multnomah county. The latter days
of the campaign will Bee Bean, Hall.
Patterson, White and Lee all making
a canvass in Portland, where the bulk
of the republican voters resides. In
dications at present tend to show that
Multnomah will turn the tide and
nominate the republican candidate.
This Is the reason that the candidates
propose concentrating their efforts
here in the closing days. Each, how
ever, has laid the groundwork in Port
land for the final fence-building.
McArthur Manages Campaign.
In the third congressional district
C. N. McArthur. incumbent, is now on
the ground managing his own cam
paign. Opposition to McArthur is split
three ways, which should simplify his
problems. Although not indorsed by
organized labor, McArthur's record is
such that he will receive a larger
labor vote in the coming primaries
than in the past. V.'ith his opponents.
Franklin F. Korell, M. E. Crumpacker
and Sanf ield MacDonald, McArthur
has appeared before various meetings
in the past week. All four of the re
publican aspirants are working hard.
In the first congressional district a
spectacu lar campaign is being con
ducted by A. W. Norblad of Astoria
against W. C Haw ley, incumbent. Mr
Hawley is in Washington but has
been covering his district through
corresDondence. This is the first time
in several years that Hawley has had
an aggressive opponent. Mr. Norblad,
with 38 papers supporting him edi
torially, is expressing great confidence
in the outcome.
Sporadic Opposition Stained,
A sporadic opposition
against X. J. Sinnott, incumbent. In
the second congressional district, with
James tJwinn of Pendleton. The Sin
not opposition is, apparently, most
active in the vicinity of Pendleton and
Sinnott's friends express no fear ot
the outcome.
Getting down to one of the exciting
spots of the campaign, the contest
for republican nat ional committee
man is being wiged with vigor both
by R. E. Williams, incumbent, and
O. H. Fithian. Will H. Hays, former
national chairman, wired Williams
yesterday saying: "Your election as
vice-chairman of the national com
mittee was the fullest possible evi
dence of the committee's gratitude to
you and their confidence in your great
future usefulness to the committee
and the party."
Much Trouble Caunea.
Seven county commissioner candi
dates, with two to nominate, have
caused much trouble among the
groups who plan issuing "tickets."
While overshadowed by the guberna
torial and national committeeman
contests, the fight for county com
missioner is far from being a tame
affair. Overtures made to have three
of the aspirants withdraw during the
last week met with strenuous refusal
and thereafter the battle among the
seven became more exciting.
Among aspirants for the legisla
ture, the main question is the matter
of indorsements on special "tickets."
The Merchants' and Manufacturers
association was first in the field with
a selected list of candidates and the
labor council has made its indorse
ments. The cf tiaens' tax committee
has also picked the men it will sup
port. On the labor ticket only part

Monday night. The motor vehicle
league is about to propose its ticket,
which in the main will parallel the
ticket of the labor council.
PntterMon I Indorsed.
The motor vehicle league was or
ganized for the purpose of protecting
owners from unfriendly and unfair
taxation: developing an equitable
license system : formulating adequate
road and traffic laws; preventing
waste of public road funds and rep
resenting motor vehicle owners at all
times and assisting in the betterment
of their condition.
On a referendum ballot the league
has indorsed Patterson for governor;
Williams for national committeeman,
and Orumpacker for representative ot
the third congressional district. The
legislative ticket is In abeyance.
The labor ticket, according to re
port, when completed will have Boyd.
Brownell. Coffey, Horne. Lynn. Proud

MQSE BLOCK IS DEAD
MONEY LENDER SUCCUMBS TO
HEART ATTACK.
.Man Wlio Occupied Place in Court
house 3 0 Years Rears Orphan
Children and Helps Friends.
Union county. He drove a freight
train, horse drawn, between Umatilla
and Boise. His father died in 1884
and the young man returned to Port
land and started his money-lending
career.
Mose M. Bloch, money lender and
philanthropist, dropped dead at the
breakfast table in his home at 773
Johnson street yesterday morning. A
heart attack was the cause.
Thousands who came to know Mr.
Bloch during his 30 years' occupancy
of the courthouse were shocked at
the news and his scores of friends
about county offices were grief
stricken. To many he was more than
a money lender, he was a friend in
distress and a great number of
stories were told of his kindly, gen
erous acts.
During the past years when the
county has been almost continuously
on a warrant basis, Mr. Bloch was of
great assistance to county employes,
cashing their pay warrants and ac
cepting the 6 per cent certificates of
county indebtedness. He never charged
commission for such accommodation
to his friends, even at a time when
banks were discounting the war
rants and stores refused to accept
them at face value. The system of
paying county employes montHly
ca used many to go to Mr. Bloch for
small advances on their pay near the
end of a month and he received many
assignments of warrants as a result.
Those who dealt regularly with
Mr. Bloch found him honest and
never complained of exorbitant Inter
est charges. For many years he
cashed the warrants of widow pen
sioners, never charging for his serv
ices. Mr. Bloch kept considerable
raised ' casn on hand in various bank ac
counts ana ioanea oui inousanas oi
dollars to his friends about the court
house without requiring note or se
curity. It is said.
From .time to time, county commis
sioners had endeavored to oust Mr.
Bloch from the courthouse, declaring
that he had built up a powerful po
litical machine which was sometimes
used against the best Interests of the
county. Mr. Bloch only smiled at
their efforts and remained on the job.
defying the commissioners to deny
him access to a public building.
Never having married, Mr. Bloch
nevertheless reared four orphan chil
dren at his home on Johnson street,
and was always "Papa Mose" to them.
Surviving are four sisters, Sarah Bos
covitch and the Misses Bertha. Flora
and Bessie Bloch. and a brother, J. P.
Bloch, all of Portland.
Mr. Bloch was born in Portland on
February 20, 1859, at the corner of
Second and Stark streets, in a home
occupied jointly by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry F. Bloch and the
family of Judge Henry E. McGinn.
He was born just nine days before the
former circuit judge.
Mr Bloch was educated in the pub
lic schools of this city and took up
barberlng as a trade in his early
youth, being instructed by Abe Tich
nor. Later he learned plumbing. In
the late 70s. Mr. Bloch took up
freighting, his family moving to
BLOW AIMED AT ADDICTS
Possession of Opium Pipe or
Needle Would Be Illegul.
Adoption of a city ordinance framed
under direction of City Attorney Grant
would make it illegal for a person to
have in his possession an opium
smoking outfit or hypodermic needle.
This ordinance was filed yesterday
and will come before the city council
next Wednesday.
Under present ordinances it is not
a misdemeanor merely to have the
paraphernalia of a narcotic addict in
one's possession. The new ordinance
would have the effect of making it
much easier for police officers to ar
rest drug-peddling suspects and users
and makes more certain their convic
tion in court. The ordinance will
further relieve the city attorney's of
fice of the necessity of proving that
the possessor of narcotics or narcotic
using equipment is not a licensed
peddler or physician.

at which a president, secretary and
treasurer will be elected, will be held
Tuesday.
Mothers Day Will Be Celebrated
Here and in AH Parts of
Country Next Sunday.
Homage to the mothers of America
will be paid by a grateful nation one
week from today. "Mothers' day," on
which the sons and daughters of the
country give thanks for the splendid
women who reared them, will be
celebrated next Sunday, May 14.
The visual token of gratitude will
consist in line with the custom of re
cent years, in the wearing of "her
favorite flower." Widespread plans for
the nation-wide observance of the day
have been adopted.
In churches and In prisons, in the
huge cities and throughout the sparsely
settled districts, in congress and in
the lesser legislative halls, the citi
zens of the country will pause for an
instant sometime during the coming
week to do honor to the "mothers of
America."
When the day was first generally
observed a few years ago white car
nations were the flowers used to
typify filial affection and devotion.
This custom has been gradually su
perseded by the custom of wearing
" her favorite flower."
Girl's Devotion Emulated.
To Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel
phia belongs the honor of establish
ing "Mothers' Day." Some years ago
Miss Jarvis, who was teacher in a
Sunday school in Philadelphia, wore
a huge bouquet of white carnations to
church in memory of the birthday of
her mother. The birthday, May 12,
that year fell on Sunday, the second
Sunday in May.
The idea of honoring mothers on a
Special day each year spread through
out the city, and the next year prac
tically every church and Sunday
school in Philadelphia set aside the
second Sunday in May as "mothers'
Jay."
By the third year the observance
was nation-wide.- With the increasing
observance of the day came a great
demand for white carnations as offi
cial flowers for the occasion. So great
Indeed was the demand that the price
of carnations jumped automatically
on and before "mothers' day," in some
Instances selling at prices as high as
$1 each.
"Her Favorite" Restflt.
Prices finally became so high that
florists themselves took remedial
measures and the custom of wearing
"her favorite flower" rather than
white carnations resulted.
Portland florists have already taken
steps to prevent the charging of ex
orbitant prices this year. In a meet
ing held Friday night, according to
Alfred Clarke, prominent local dealer,
a big advertising campaign was
agreed upon, to urge the public to
observe the day by wearing "her fa
vorite flower rather than to special
ize in the wearing of carnations.
