THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 3, 1023 t DEMOCRATIC PARTY I JW irJ THIRD PLAC E Progressive Party Second Strongest in Idaho. STATE CONTROL SOUGHT Combination "With Bourbons May Be Effected to Control Next; legislature. BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 2. (Special.) rtie result of the November elec tion relegates the democratic party to third place in this state. Moses Alexander did not receive the full strength of his own party vote for governor. The progressives, on the other hand, moved from third to second place, with a gain of more than 12,000 votes. This is signifi cant, hold party leaders, who say it is evidence that there is a rapidly growing independent vote in this state that if continued is bound to gain control of the balance of power. The restlessness politically, com bined with organization, is credited with bringing the third party into such prominence. The progressive party came into being with the merger of the strength of the non partisan leaguers and the committee of 48. Confident of becoming a factor in the political life of Idaho in the future, the progressives are actively laying their plans for the campaign two years hence. Perky May Be Leader. It is known that everyteffort will be made to place strong leaders in charge of the party's affairs, thus placing its management in entirely different hands than the affairs of the non-partisan league have been in. Men like K. I. Perky, one of the leading democrats of the state, who during the last campaign went over to the progressives and active ly campaigned in behalf of the ticket, will be approached to as sume part of the leadership. Perky is a prominent attorney of Boise. He Is an ex-United States senator, having been appointed when James H. Hawley was gov ernor, to fill the recess term of the late Senator Heyburh, retiring fol lowing the election of the late James H. Brady. The switching of Perky's strength to the progressives during the last campaign proved to he injurious to the democratic ticket. Legislative Bloc Forecast. The democrats an progressives may form a combination in the next legislature. Advances have been made to bring this about. "Will H. Hornibrook, chairman of the demo cratic state central committee, has written a letter to Frank E. John nesse, chairman of the progressive , state central committee, proposing the combination. Hornibrook pro poses that as the platforms of both the democratic and the progressive parties are similar, the representa tives of both stand together in an effort to insure the enactment of some of the plank's into law. These planks declare for abolition of the cabinet form of state govern ment, economy'in state expenditures, abolition of the state constabulary, restoration of the non-partisan judiciary, passage of a guarantee bank deposit law, re-enactment of the state-wide primary law, and direct legislation. The progressive state committee as yet has not taken up the pro posal, said State Chairman John nesse, who in reply to Hornibrook's letter said -the matter would be placed before the committee for im mediate consideration when it meets. WAR SERVICES HONORED Congressional Medal Is Awarded to Irwin W. Ziegaus. TACOMA, "Wash., Dec. 2. (Spe cial.) For meritorius service during the world war, Irvin W. Ziegaus of Tacoma has been awarded a dis tinguished service medal, according to press dispatches received today from Washington, D. C. The citation was made in Aug ust. 1920, and he received notice of It in December of that year. No further information reached him and the matter was forgotten until his attention was called to the dis patch from Washington. Mr. Ziegaus, who is in the insur ance business in Tacoma, was pri vate secretary to the late Gover nor Lister when the war was de clared. For the first six months he had charge of the executive end of the draft in the state and then was placed in charge of the muster ing and executive work.

SWEEPING CHANGES AT SALEM FORECAST SEMITE n IMPORTANT WASHINGTON JOB NOT AL WAYS EMPTY HONOR. Various Senators Preside Due to Promotions Caused by Gov ernors Deaths. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle. Wash., Dec. 2. 'The presidency of the state senate, actively sought by Senator William Wray of King county, and probably to be made a matter of contest by those members of the next senate who are urging Senator D. V. Morthland of Yakima and Benton counties to be a can didate, has not always been a per functory job,, and a more or less empty honor. So long as a durable governor and a lively lieutenant-governor are in evidence during a legislative ses sion, the pro tempore presidency of the senate dosen't call for much of the time of whoever may be elected to the place. But there have been times in the past when the position took on great importance. When Lieutenant-Governor Henry McBride became acting governor, following the death of Governor John R. Rogers, Senator J. J. Smith of King county, elected president pro tempore, became ,the permanent presiding officer of the 1903 session. Again in 1909, when Lieutenant Governor M. E. Hay was called, by the death of Governor S. G. Cos grove, to be chief executive, Senator A. S. -Ruth of Thurston county, suc ceeded to the permanent presidency oi tne senate. Lieutenant-Governor Hay was still acting governor dur ing the 1911 session, and Senator W. H. Paulhamus presided over the senate. When Lieutenant-Governor Hart took over the executive duties, at the death of Governor Ernest Lister during the 1919 session, Sen ator P. H. Carlyon of Thurston took charge of the senate deliberations. Hillsboro Lodges Elect. HILLSBORO, Or., Dec. 2. (Spe cial.) Election of officers of Mon tezuma lodge of Oddfellows for 1923 Is as follows: J. A. Hoffman, noble grand ; ft. T. Bennett, vice-grand ; Edward Bowman, treasurer, and W. L. Morley, secretary. Hillsboro en campment, Oddfellows officers are: J. Sorenson, chief patriarch; A. G. Gilmore, senior warden; Benton Bowman, high priest; S. M. Poole, junior warden; Edward Bowman, treasurer. Independent Order of Muscovites; W. R. Morley, noble duke; Edward Bowman, noble chronicle. Order of Rebbeccas: Mrs. Maud Lake, noble grand; Mrs. Ed ward M. Bowman, vice-grand; Mrs. M. C. Case, secretary, and Mrs. C. E. Deichman, treasurer. Many Corvallis Graduates Teach. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 2. (Special.)

Lee Steiner and Several Other State Superintendents Seem Secure in Positions. SALEM, Or., Dec. 2. (Special.) When Walter M. Pierce, governor elect, enters upon his duties as chief executive of Oregon early next month, he will find his desk piled high with many matters of some official importance. This has been the experience of every in coming governor in f Oregon for a long time, according to persons who have been in the employ of the state for many years. Among the first matters that will confront Governor-elect Pierce prob ably will be consideration of the resignations of the three members of the state highway department. W. B. Barratt, eastern Oregon mem ber of the commission, already has sent his resignation to the gover nor. R. A. Booth and John B. Yeon, other members of the commission, have said that they will have their resignations on file before Jan uary 1. New Members Selected. Reports received in. Salem through friends of Governor-elect Pierce indicate that the new members of the commission will be William Pollman, Baker banker; C. E. (Pop) Gatet, Medford, and C. E. Spence, Oregon City. Reports that Charles Hall of Marshfield is being consid ered for a place on the commission are given little credence here. T. B. Handley, state corporation commission, has made it known that he will resign shortly after Jan uary 1. Mr. Handley has decided to locate in Portland, where he will engage in the practice of law. Alex Sweek, Portland lawyer, was said to have been slated for this position. A. C. Barber, state insurance commissioner, is - not losing any sleep as a result of the change of administration. Mr. Barber has had Ion experience in the insurance field, and it was said that he has received at least three flattering offers. ' One of these, which was received from Los Angeles, prob ably will be accepted by Mr. Barber. It was said that there are at least half a dozen active candidates for this office. Mr. Shaw Considers Offers. . Ford Shaw, deputy corporation commissioner, has received an offer from the Durant Automobile com pany, together with a flattering proposal from a financial syndicate in Minnesota. Mr. Shaw has not yet determined which position he will accept. A general house-cleaning at the state penitentiary is indicated . in reports received in Salem from La Grande, the home of the governor elect. Will E. Moore, ex-customs officer in Portland, and Henry Downing of Salem, have been mentioned prom inently in connection with the office of warden. Johnson Smith, former prohibition officer, is also men tioned. This office is now held by J. E. Lewis. Joe Minton probably will be ap pointed to succeed Percy Varney as parole officer. - - Other positions at the peniten tiary which carry attractive salaries are deputy warden, principal keeper and turnkey. The penitentiary is under the sole control of the gov ernor. Although Governor-elect Pierce had considerable to say during his campaign with relation to Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, superintendent of the state hospital here, there is reason to believe that Dr. Steiner will be J This institution is under the jurisdiction of the board of control, which is composed of the governor, secretary of state and state treas urer. Both O. P. Hoff, state treas urer, and Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, probably will vote to re tain Dr. Steiner. - Superintendents of all other state institutions appear also to be se cure, with the possible exception of W. L. Kuser at the head of the state training school for boys, and Dr. J. N. Smith, in charge of the state home for the feeble-minded. . - In the executive department there will be a new private secretary to the governor and probably a new stenographer. Don H. Upjohn, for the last three years private secre tary to Governor Olcott, expects to retire soon after January 1. Ward Irvine of Portland probably will be selected for this position. Other Patronage Controlled. Other appointments, which fall exclusively to the governor, include the three members of the state in dustrial accident commission and state engineer. The state superin tendent of banks, state forester, state veterinarian and a number of other appointments are made by the governor, but are based on the recommendations of the various boards. Adding to the troubles of Mr.f Pierce during his first few weeks in office will be the biennial session of the legislature, occasional visits of job seekers and a raft of inter views inspired by relatives and friends of men now serving terms in the state penitentiary. 1 1 BEEP TO BE FETED VICTORY AS HOUSE SPEAKER RECOGNIZED. Mason County Representative to Be Entertained by Com mercial Organizations. PUGET SsbUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., Dec. 2. General recognition that Representative Mark E. Reed of Mason county is to be the, speaker of the next state house of representatives is discoverable in the fact that Mr. Reed is to be fea tured at entertainments that vari ous commercial bodies of the state are planning, to be given in advance of the opening of the session. There is further significance in the fact that conferences with Mr. Reed are being sought by the heads of vari ous state institutions that- must look to the legislature for support. The first of the entertainments scheduled is the luncheon to be given by the Spokane chamber of commerce on December 9, with the eastern "Washington senators and representatives as guests of honor. Representative Reed, 1 himself a west side man, has accepted the special invitation sent him by the Spokane chamber. He will remain in Spokane over Sunday, December 10, and then go to Pullman for a conference with Dr. E. O. Holland, president, and the regents of the Washington State college. On Friday, January 5, Represen tative Reed is to be one of the speakers at a luncheon, to which the entire legislature has been in vited, given by the members' coun cil of the Seattle chamber of com merce. On the -evening of the same day, the whole legislative body is to sit at dinner with the Tacoma Commercial club. The legislative session begins the Monday following.
