CLOSE CAMPAIGNS
Each Confident of Winning
Monday's Elections
in
CHAMBERLAIN AND CAKE
Each Think That All That is Neces
sary to Verify Accuracy of His
Claim is the Counting of Votes
After the Election.
PORTLAND, May 30. Governor
George E. Chamberlain, Democrat,
and Henry M. Cake, Republican, to
night closed the campaigns for the
nomination of United States Senator
and each express confidence in the
-winner in Monday's election, and that
I! that is necessary to verify the ac
curacy of his claim is the counting of
otes.
Back of Judge Cake has been the
Republican press of the State which is
equivalent to saying that almost every
newspaper in the State, the fact that
Oregon is normally about a 50,000
majority Republican and is an en
dorsement of the national administra
tion. Against this, Governor Chamber
lain has pitted a good record as a
governor, of genial personality and a
broadness of character which has
von for him re-election to the guber
natorial chair two years ago against
overwhelming odds. Out of this race
grows an anomalous and almost ludi
crocs possibility a Republican legis
lature being' morally bound next win
ter to elect a Democrat to be United
States Senator, for the legislature
unquestionably will be overwhelming
ly Republican.
Of forty-six legislators necessary to
choice for the United States Senator
in this vote, the primaries last April
developed over 40 members of the
next legislature who hold over, or
wbo will be elected Monday, will be
signors of "Statement No. 1." The
pre-election pledge moraly obligating
legislator to vote for the candidate for
United States Senator, irrespective oi
any party arhliations, who shall re
ceive the highest popular vote at
Monday's election.
There is also a possibility that
there will be some Democrats in the
next Legislature and some of the Re
publican nominees for the legislature
who will be elected, who, since the
primaries, have accepted "Statement
No. 1."
All told, there is not much doubt
that the action of the next legislature
will be governed by "Statement No.
1" members and there is no doub:
that this legislature will be heavily
Republican.
Besides the nominee for United
States Senator there will be elected
two Congressmen. In the first dis
trict V. C. Hawley, Republican in
cumbent, will be re-elected. His race
will be uncontested. In the second
district Congressman V. R. Ellis, a
Republican, of Umatilla county, will
doubtless be returned by the usual
large Republican majority.
Judge Robert S. Bean, the Repub
lican, lincnnihent, Republican-Democratic
candidate for state supreme
judge will be elected. In addition to
Judge Bean, only state officers which
will be elected this year are dairy and
food commissioner and railroad com
missioner. Each county, however, will elect a
legislative ticket and full set of coun
ty officers. There are no municipal
elections at this time.
Besides the candidates for the var
ious offices, there are on the ticket 19
initiative or referendum laws and
amendments to the constitution that
are to be voted on.
GETS INFORMATION.
President Roosevelt Gets Wise as to
Dealing in Futures.
Since President Roosevelt received
the delegations from boards of trade,
East and West, he has been furnished
in various forms with information
which he personally asked for, chiefly
regarding the practical results of the
system of "futures" which at that time
was the subject of hostile bills in Con
gress. Among the monographs, ad
dresses and reports there was an al
lusion to McKinley, made in an ad
dress by Secretary George F. Stone
of the Chicago Board of Trade, which
held especial interest for him. The
address was one delivered at Colum
bus, where stands the statue of the
martyred President which was its in
spiration. That good citizenship was
necessary to national greatness was
argued thus: "Let us not forget the
country is not great by reason of its
fertile fields, its bursting granaries,
its lofty mountains and great lakes.
Our land is great because of the char
acter of its population a population
living and working under the inspira
tion of a Government created and ad
ministered by the people; a population
frugal, industrious, ambitious and law
abiding, striving in their constant toil
to multiply the doors of opportunity
for their descendants. President Mc
Kinley was a statesman whose daily
life and daily deeds were an inspira
tion to his countrymen: he stood for
those qualities of mind and heart
without which life would be ignoble.
The nation will never cease to mourn
the loss of one of the wisest, purest
and most patriotic of her brilliantly
gifted sons.
Army of Sailors Arrive Every Day

Seamen's Friends Society is Erect
ing a $250,000 Hotel For Them.
NEW YORK May J0.Yith over
n thousand Tammany braves mixing
war paint for a $100.WX' sorter over the
trail to the Denver convention, ru
mors of big medicine in the demo
cratic teepee here are rife to day. In
spite of the factional war-dancing in
which the Manhattan and Brooklyn
tribes are being allowed to indulge
for the time being, those deepest in
the known look to-day seeing the
pipe of peace handed around before
the Fourth of July and a front, at
least apparently unbroken, presented
when the democratic delegation em
barks for the West. Such spectacles
as the recent riot at Carnegie Hall,
it is realized by even the big bosses,
do no good to the local democracy in
presidential year, and it can be stated
with authority that Big Chief Murphy
will go far to placate the faiihiul of
the party whose feelings he so rude
ly ruffled by his czar tactics in the
state convention. New York has
learned that its democratic strength
is seldom suffered to stay split when
real campaigning conies on and is
taking the gala preparations of the
Tammany delegates as a sure sign
that the hatchet is about to be buried.
OF THE
FAKIRS FAKED.
It is a wise connoisseur who knows
his own painting, as the finger of
doubt is now being pointed to the
rarest art treasures in town. Even
up at the venerated Metropolitan Mu
seum the authorities are to-day tip
toeing about and stealthily turning
their most hallowed exhibits to the
light to search fur marke of sure
identification. Art dealers who have
fattened upon the easy credulity of
wealthy patrons are aroused to keen
est resentment of the cry of fake, and
the near-critics who bought and pas
sed their wares are eyeing each paint
daub with silent suspicion. High art
has for years been adopted as a con
venient pose for aging men who have
been beating out a fortune for scores
of years with no thought or know
ledge of its first tenets. That there
is as patent fraud in this attitude of
these late deserters from the ranks
of business as in the canvass of a
forged masterpiece is a fact which is
reconciling the public here to the lam
entations of the art-stun;. Those
who become fake connoisseurs should
not complain if some of their pur
chases prove equally fake, is thcl
moral which Gotham is pointing to
the incident.

SPRING SIGNS.
With green corn quoted high on a
few menus and straw hats stacked
in a respectable minority on the racks
outside, the people of Manhattan Is
land are to-day conscious of rushing
the season. Three weeks away the
days for donning the merry bache
lor's bonnet have been set by custom
immemorial, while real corn on the
cob is never common property till
well on to tthe Fourth of July.
This year, however, all signs have
failed in the presence of the prcma
ture weather and all Gotham is
bounding ahead of the old established
conventions. Green grass as well as
corn has for the first time in many
years been proclaimed a luxury by
signs forbidding it trampling
throughout the parks. The rush of
the crowds to the lawns ahead of sea
son has obliged the authorities to
draw the line where formerly grass
was kept to be rolled on as well as
looked at.

That seven thousand sailors arrive
every day of the year at one single
stretch of this island's water front
was computed by veteran shipping
men of the Chelsea district to-day.
Where giant liners dock and scores
of merchantmen warp in, hour after
hour, a great modern hotel building
is now being completed for Jack
ashore at just this strategic point. In
this new institute the American Sea
men's Friends Society hopes to pro
vide for the seamen cast adrift a
handy refuge from land sharks. Al
ready more than $250,000 has been
offered toward this unique sailor club
and it is expected that the seventy
thousand necessary to lit and finish
it will soon be sighted in spite of
troublous times. As a harbor for the
shipping of the world New York has
already pushed to the first rank; as
a harbor for men of the sea it will
soon be made unrivalled.

CONCENSUS OF OPINION ON
MERITS OF COUNTY HIGH
SCHOOL PROPOSITION NOW
BEFORE CLATSOPIANS.
Apropos of the matters in referen
dum on tomorrow's ballot in thi city
and county, the proposition for the
establishment of a county high school
has been quietly talked of by men and
in places where public concerns re
ceive the most attention hereabout;
and the concensus of opinion seems
to be, that the measure is admittedly
an excellent one, but, with the re
stricted patronage that it would re
ceive for the next few years, would
work a hardship on the taxpayers, and
might, in the meantime, become a
rival institution to the splendid school
already provided for in this city, if
only from the mere fact of its being
set up inside the city limits; or, as it'
was put to a reporter of the Morning
Astorian, yesterday, by a well known
citizen who pays his share of the tax
in old Clatsop:
"The object of this new high school
is to secure tree tuition for those
pupils who do not reside within the
city of Astoria, where there is al
ready a fine school of this class and
conferring this benefit. The number
of such pupils outside the city limits,
would not exceed, cay 35; which
strikes ine as altoegthcr too small a
margin upon which to base o large
an expenditure at this time. With
tuition at $25 per ;Mpil, per school
yrar, the net saving to the families
of the Mudcnt who would profit by
the new system, would be Irs than a
thousand dollars, for which the whole
county is to be taxed to erect a special
building, contract a corps of top
notch teachers and maintain this
(.chool with light and fuel and all ac
cessories, for the major portion of
the year, and probably in Astoria,
where it is certain to be voted; a
plan that may be infinitely bettered,
under present conditions, by giving
the outside pupil the free benefit
sought right here in the Astoria high
school; at least until such time as
there is warranty, in numbers, for
the proper launching of this really ex
cellent public enterprise."
