GET SECOND PLACE.
Dolliver or Cummins Likely to
be Nominated For Vice
President. Lord's Prayer Only.
(By 'Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Juno 10. The
prayer of the opening session of
the Republican National Con
vention was delivered by
Archbishop Muldoon of tho
Catholic Diocese of Northern
Illinois, and will be the Lord's
prayer only.
CHICAGO, 111., Juno 16. The
first day's session of the National
Republican Convention was devoted
to preliminary work and the speech
' of Senator J. C. Burrows of Michigan,
the temporary chairman. Tomorrow,
tho nomination of a president will be
taken up. The Taft supporters in
sist that ho will bo nominated on tho
first ballot, but his opponents hint
otherwise. As soon as the presiden
tial nomination is disposed of, the
vice-presidency will bo taken up.
While there Is a strong belief that
either Senator Dolliver or Governor
A.B.Cumminsof Iowa, will be named,
the eastern delegations are insisting
that if Taft Is nominated for presi
dent, an pastern man be given tho
second place on the ticket.
Tho tap of Chairman News' gavel
' calling the convention to order fell at
12:28 o'clock, but quiet was not se
cured for some time. Part of the de
lay was due to the late arrival of the
delayed portion of the delegation
with big banner picture of Taft
lithographed upon it. There was
cheering and the band struck up
"Hall to the chief." The'demonstra
tlon was not a sustained one. The
Taft banner was not allowed to re
main in the hall and was taken to a
side room. A flashlight picture of
the gathering was taken.
Chairman New spoke briefly, point
ing to tho achievements of the Rep
ublican administration in tho past
twelve years, and especially com
mending the policies of Roosevelt.
Tho mention of the namo of Roose
velt brought an outburst of cheers
which however lasted but a few sec
onds. Mr. Now introduced Bishop
Muldoon of Chicago, who recited
the Lord's prayer. Secretary Malloy
read the call for the convention and
his fine delivery aroused consider
able applause. Mr. New then an
nounced that the National Committee
bad recommended Senator J. C. Bur
rows of Michigan, as temporary
chairman. Mr. Burrows was warmly
received. Ho bowed his acknowled
gement and at 12:34 o'clock began
the keynote address lasting about six
minutes before the first mention of
Roosevelt's name came. At once, a
demonstration was begun, one by one
the delegations taking up the cheer
ing until tho applause became gen
eral. The mention of Vice-president
Fairbanks name also brought forth
cheers. Burrows completed his re
marks at 1:42 o'clock, and at 2:03
o'clock tho convention adjourned
until noon tomorrow.
Third Term Talk.
Tho manner In which the namo of
Roosevelt will be presented to the
convention for renomlnatlon is not
disclosed, but that it will bo is undis
puted. Just what the outcome of the
movement will bo is an unfailing
topic for conjecture and tho explo
sive possibilities of its injection at
tho psycological moment are fully
realized by all concerned: Close
friends of Roosevelt and Taft on the
ground declare themselves to be pre
pared to meet it In whatsoever form
it arises with convincing proofs of
Roosevelt's views of any such at
tempt and his disapproval bo em
phatic as to leave no room for a
doubt of tolerance.
Launch Cummins Boom.
A boom was formally launched late
today for Governor Cummins of
Iowa, for vice-president by Senator

Colorado Democrats Give Their
Delegates Iron Clad
Instructions.
(By Associated Press.)
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, June 1C.
Tho Colorado delegations to tho
National Democratic Convention was
instructed to vote for Bryan "while,
his name Is before the convention as
a candidate."
Borah of Idaho. The movement is
significant, coming as it does follow
ing the announcement that President
Roosevelt and Taft were prepared to
Insist that the vice-presidential can
didate come from Iowa and the stand
Borah had heretofore taken was in
favor of Dolliver.
Interest in Vice-Presidency.
Interest grows hourly in the vice
presidency and was augmented by
conflicting reports regarding the pre
ference of the president and Taft on
the subject and tho effect upon the
political situation in Indiana and
Iowa by the possible nomination of
Fairbanks or Dolliver, respectively.
There is a strong sentiment in the
New England delegations that the
ticket can be strengthened by the
nomination of a New York stateman
and has complicated the situation.
The name of representative Sherman
of Utah, is being strongly urged in
some quarters, but it is probable that
Hughes's candidacy will have to be
disposed of before Sherman's name
can be properly brought forward. The
names of Cortelyou, Ex-mayor Seth
Lowe of New York, Governor Guild
of Massachusetts, Governor Sheldon
of Nebraska, ex-Governor Murphy of
New Jersey, John Hayes Hammond
of Boston, George A. Knight of Cali
fornia, and others are more or less
prominently brought forth.
Work On Plaform.
Up to a late hour last night, again
early this morning and throughout
tho day and after the adjournment
of the preliminary session, the lead
ers continued their work upon the
matters remaining to be settled. The
platform polishing, and more espe
cially the sharp controversy over the
plank having reference to the limita
tion of the court in injunctions in
labor disputes, went on. Planks of
the widest Interest on tariff, railroad
regulation, currency reform and tho
endorsement of the administration of
President Roosevelt, have been fully
or substantially agreed upon.
Speakor Cannon, backed by prom
inent leaders in various states, con
tinues vigilant opposition to any
radical utterance on the injunction
question and the lines are more
sharply drawn upon that than any
other.
Anti-Injunction Plank.
The proposed anti-ln junction plank
of the platform which was passed
upon in Washington, is as follows:
"We declare for such amendment of
the statutes of procedure In the fed
eral courts with respect to the use of
the writ of injunction as will on
the one hand, prevent the summary
issues of such orders without proper
consideration, and, on the other, that
will preserve the undiminished
power of the court to enforce their
process, to tho end that Justice may
be done at all times, and to all par
ties." There is much speculation
as to exactly what the terms mean.
Its opponents declare It can undoubt
edly cover any proposed law contain
ing the word "Injunction" and argu
ments against tho plank aro being
made by many members of congress.
Speaker Cannon is working hard to
have the plank modified. Tho de
fenders of tho plank Insist that there
Is nothing in its terms to bo feared.
Weather Favors Opening.
Chicago put forth its best in the way
of weather conditions, for the open
ing of the convention. A strong
broeze off the lake cleared tho humi
dity and smoko and greatly refresh
ed the residents and visitors.

There are tho results. The simple
statement however, conveys little of
the tense strenuousness Involved in
their attainment. The school elec
tion at tho Marshfleld High School
last evening developed into an inter
esting session that at times made a
wet and dry campaign look like a
Sunday school picnic at Charleston
Bay. People who went expecting to
find it as insipid as a plate of cold
soup were pleasantly surprised to dis
cover It as full of pep as a hot tamale.
If the same energy and ginger could
bo injected" Into a commercial cam
paign Coos Bay would have a rail
way inside of sixty days. Tho ladles
were there in force, but strangely
enough there did not seem to be
unity of action. Men who feared that
woman suffrage would result in a
union of the fair creatures against
the aggressions of the sterner sex
were disillusioned. The brand of
politics was very similar to the one
bearing the masculine label. It also
destroyed all hopes that woman suf
frage in Oregon would transform our
elections into social functions of the
pink tea order. The women, God
bless 'em, have their principles and
stand up for 'em like men.
' The meeting was called to order by
Chairman J. W. Bennett at 8 o'clock.
John F. Hall occupied tho chair at
the clerk's desk. On the opening of
nominations for director Henry
Sengstacken placed the name of John
S. Coke before the meeting. This
was followed by tho presentation of
W. S. McFarland as a candidate by
Dr. E. Mlngus. Mrs. A. H.
Stutsman then announced the candi
dacy of Mrs. Minnie Bradley. Mrs.
J. T. McCormac arose to a question
of eligibility, Mrs. Bradley not being a
property owner or taxpayer. Without
withdrawing, Mrs. Bradley's namo
Mrs. Stutsman promptly nominated
F. A. Sacchl. This was met with the
announcement that Mr. Sacchi had
authorized the statement that he was
for W. S. McFarland and would
positively decline the nomination.
Mrs. Stutsman, however, while admit
ting Mr. Sacchl's declaration to vote
for McFarland maintained that did
not disqualify him as a candidate if
his friends chose to vote for him.
There was. a rapid Are of parliamen
tary procedure that would puzzle tho
man who wrote Robert's Rules of
Order or make the author of Cush-
Ing's Manual dizzy. When the chair
man announced tho nominations
closed and called the clerk to read
the list of nominees Judge Hall an
nounced the names of John S. Coke,
W. S. McFarland, Mrs. Bradley and
F. A. Sacchl. This caused another
flutter and when the white wings of
silence were folded once more the
quartette was a duet and W. S. Mc
Farland and F. A. Sacchl went before
tho meeting as the only candidates.
Before proceeding with tho ballot
chairman J. W. Bennett began an
announcement In which ho stated ho
desired an expression of tho candi
dates as to their attitude toward the
present Echool administration. Dr.
Mlngus rose to a point of order.
Chairman Bennett refused him recog
nition and ho appealed from tho chair
but tho chairman refused to put the
k question. I. S. Smith also objected
that came up suddenly, tho violence
of which prevented them from reach
Inga cove or landing.
Only partial reports of tho disaster
have reached hero and many believe
that the number of drowned will ex
ceed the present estimate.
Whether tne storm, which was
practically a hurricane, did any dam
age on land has not been ascertained.
M
Bids For New Hotel Opened
and Contract Will Be Let
Soon.
Bids for tho proposed $75,000
Chandler hotel for Marshfleld were
opened last evening by Architect
Hendricks and the board of directors
in the office of the President John S.
Coke. The award of the contract
will not be announced until the con
tract Is signed and the lucky man
qualifies.
There were eleven bidders on the
general structural work, two from
Marshfleld, and six bidders on the
plumbing and heating. The bids were
considered very reasonable, some be
ing lower than most of the directors
had anticipated. The exact figures of
the bids will not be given out until
announcement of tho award of the
contract is made and this will not be
'Until the contract is signed and bonds
are furnished to guarantee its execu
tion. . The hotel will be of brick and six
stories. Work is to commence as
soon as possible and tho building is
to be completed and be ready for oc
cupancy within six months.
to such a statement and the incident,
was closed by appointment of D. L.
Rood and Henry Sengstacken as tel
lers. The qualifications of voters
were announced and "ladies first,"
the ballots were deposited with the
results as printed above.
MEltGER IS DEFEATED.
Bay Park and Bunker Hill Residents
Turn Proposition Down.
At the annual election of Dlstrlcf
No. 85, which comprises Bunker Hil
and Bay Park additions, at the C. A
Smith mill last evening, the proposi
tion to merge the district with
Marshfleld was defeated by a vote of
twelve to eight. This defeats the
proposition although the Marshfleld
district voted In favor of It.
The meeting in District No. 85
was a warm one and the discussion
kept It in session until about 10:30
o'clock, the supporters of the Merger
proposition fighting to the bitter end.
The selection of a site will be left
to tho directors who will probably
choose the Flanagan estate property,
a small tract between Bunker Hill
and Bay Park, if it can be obtained
for a reasonable amount.
The election resulted In Dan Ma
theson being chosen for three years,
J. D. McNeal for two years and Wm,
Phillips for one year. Mrs. W. F.
Squires was elected clerk.
NORTH BEND CONTEST.
L. F. Fnlkcnstcln and O. E. Maybeo

of L. F. Falkensteln as a director for
three years, and of C. E. Maybeo as
clerk.
The contest was sprung by the So
cialists and Labor Unions uniting on
C, A. Strickland for director, and E.
P. Anderson for clerk, Tho contest
resulted in tho ministers and a num
ber of tho liquor mon, who have been
bitterly fighting each other, lining

KANSAS CITY, June 16. Tho Kaw
and Missouri rivers are falling and
the worst of tho flood is over.
The lower sections of the city aro
still inundated and will probably not
be accessible for several days.
The exact extent of the damage or
property loss Is not known yet.
Great precaution will be exercised
in visiting buildings in tho flooded

of them were so badly undermined
that they will collapse under tho
slightest jar after the water recedes.

PROPOSE TO CALL
CONVENTION HERE.
Meeting Likely to be Held On
Coos Bay Sometime
In August.
PORTLAND, June 16. Tho Tele
gram says: "Organized effort will bo
made within the next few weeks to
attack and overthrow tho Harriman
tyranny in Oregon. A convention for
this purpose will be held at Coos Bay
some time in August, and tho cam
paign against the throttling "Wizard
of Wall Street" will be conducted
along altogether novel lines. Its ef
fectiveness will depend first upon
whether Harriman has Influence In
the next Legislature, and, secondly,
upon the attitude of tho voters of tho
state, for the matter will bo mado a
subject of referendum petition, as
well as legislative enactment.
"Tho convention will represent
what will be known of tho "Railroad
Neglected Areas of Oregon," and no
delegate living nearer than 50 miles
to a railway station will bo entitled
to a seat during the deliberations of
the unique association. But even at
this tho membership roll-call will
show that all of Harney, Malheur,
Coos, Curry and Tillamook counties
are eligible to participation.
"Tho Harriman bulwarks will be
assailed in a bill which will bo drawn
up by the proper committee of tho
convention, which will bo submitted
to tho legislature next January. Tha
measure will attack tho present law,
which has enabled Harriman to se
cure strangleholds on every available
pass or gap through the mountains,
over into Central Oregon for a period
of flvo years. A provision of the bill
will probably requlro that no railroad
shall bo allowed to gain permanent
control of more than one such stra
tegic position, and then only for a
limited time, within which a certain
amount of actual railroad construc
tion work must be done, as evidence
of good faith. This is much after the
fashion of tho homestead act, which
requires that the settler do a certain
amount of Improvement work each
year.
"This, of course, Is only a rough
outline of how tho great regions of
Oregon, rich in undeveloped re
sources, hoodwinked and toyed with
by tho Harriman Interests for many
years expect to throw oft tho shackles
which have checked tho onward
march of civilization and Industrial
development of ono of tho greatest
empires In America.
"Whatever fate may attond tho
career of this Important measure In
the legislature, tho peoplo of Oregon
will bo called upon to say whether
they or Harriman shall guide tho for
tunes of tho state in tho future.
"Those who are bohlnd this move
ment have great confidence that tho
voters of tho stato will come to tho
front with an overwhelming majority
In favor of "trimming tho Harriman
claws." At tho same time, a mighty
effort will be made to accomplish tb9
results desired when tho legislature
meets, and tho support of other rail
road corporations which Harriman
has managed to keep from Invading
this trcasureland of Central Oregon
will probably be forthcoming, in tho
shape of definite propositions in tho
way ot construction of new arteries
of commerco in the new untapped ro-
glons.
Invitations will be sent to ovory
commercial organization In tho Btato
to send delegates to this convention.
and another powerful ally Is looked
for In tho press of tho state. AugUBt
has beon selected, though tho exac
date haB not been fixed, for tho re
son that tho roads aro in tho V
possible condition at that tlmo
tho delegates will lmvo tho least
slblo trouble In reaching Coos J
thou.
