THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL) PORTLAND. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 28; 1904. Candidates for District , Nominations Asking " About Plans. HOT FIGHT IN PROSPECT Sanderson Reed Making an Active Campaign for .District Attorney- . . Judge Webster Suggested But ' ; He Is Not a Candidate. . Republican ' politicians are asking ' with some anxiety whether the nomina tions for district attorney and circuit judge are to be slated by the machine. The promise of the Mitchell managers that the county convention should' be . "open" proved an utter farce and the fear Is .general that the state and dis trict conventions, which will meet next month, are to be handled . In. the same manner.. Jt is true that the list of dele gates to these . conventions Includes a number of citizens of high standing in the community, who would' not accept the dictation of the machine, but there are others of the delegates, and perhaps a majority of them, who could be relied upon to stand by the program.- Nominations are to be made -for-two Judges of the circuit court and for dis trict' attorney. . Judge Cleland and Judge Fraser are the two retiring in . cumbenta of the circuit bench, and among business men and attorneys there is a very strong sentiiri ent In favor of renominating them' both. , In the ab sence of any Interference by the ma chine, it Is ! probable that this will be 'done. : It Is true that there is 'Some op position to the renominatlon -of Judge ' Fraser, but this seems to be confined to a few attorneys and to spring chiefly . from personal animosities. In the first flush of victory after the county con vention some of-the Republican ma chine politicians declared that both Cleland - and Frazer must , be turned . down and their placet given to adherents of the Mitchell faction, but so much op- . position- was aroused by the suggestion of injecting partisan politics into the selection of the judiciary that little is now heard from these spoilsmen: Some of the most, influential declared their intention to Insist upon the renomlna- . tion of both Cleland and Fraser. ',-' Mayor WW ! Hot stun, ?;; v U The' machine , leaders J have - been obliged to abandon r their scheme of nominating Mayor Williams to succeed Judge Fraser, for the mayor says-posl tlvely that he wilt not resign hi pre ent office. The object, of., putting him upon the bench was to put Councilman ', Rumelin In his place . as ... mayor.- and ; thereby ensure the active support of the municipal government to the machine in the city election next ' year. Mayor Williams proved altogether too intract able in the recent campaign to 'suit the Republican bosses, and on several oc casions he displayed an ' Independence which aroused their keen displeasure. When they complained to him bat the ' police and Are departments were not lin ing up for ' the Mitchell faction, the mayor responded that the men were free to talk and to vote as they pleased. And when Judge Carey and his committee de 3 manded the removal of Chief Hunt on ' the ground that he was doing nothing 'to aid them in their , campaign, Mayor Williams unfeelingly Intimated that he ' saw no reason why the chief should d 'politics for anyone. ' The Republican bosses would like, therefore, to get the mayor out of office before the city ' campaign comes on, an they hoped that - ' the bait Of a Judicial nomination would ' ' be attractive enough to Induce him to resign. 1 Of Rumelln's readiness to accede to ' this program there has never been any question and he would therefore be eml ' nently satisfactory to the machine. The council could be relied upon to put , ' him in the mayor's seat,, fit Williams should resign, and then the city govern' ' '' ment would be absolutely under the con - trol of the dominant Republican organ' 1 ' nation, - ' ' - ,' But the scheme miscarried, because Mayor Williams rejected the proposition in toto, and declared his intention of serving out his term as mayor. Since . then there has been much less talk of opposition to the renomlnation of Cle land and' Frazer., Mention is occasion' ally made of A. H. .Tanner, Senator Mitchell's law partner, as a possible can dldate If either of the incumbents ; should not be placed upon the ticket, and E. B. Watson and E. M. Gregory ,are also said to be very willing to be . nominated. ' . : - , "Out for District Attorney. For the nomination for district attor ney the fight promises to be much more keen. Half a dosen candidates are ac tively in the field, and there are others . in the background who may come to the ' front later. ,., The most conspicuous of the candidates at the present time are Sanderson Reed and J. C Moreland, though C. F. Lord is doing quiet work , and has. some strength. Reed probably has a larger number of strong per-. '. sonal friends among the. delegates than , any of his competitors, and he has al Skin Diseases ef the Most stubborn sad Chronic ktnd are promptly rallaved aad eventually : i carta by the ass ef - This powerful germicide is ab solutely harmless..

Among his advocates are some of the most prominent business men and property owners on the delegation, - But Reed's chances may depend largely ( upon whether or not the nomination is to be 'included In the program by the machine.''.. ';. - -,, ;; .. . It is common?" gossip " that -i Senator Mitchell would like to have the nomina tion go to J.. ; C. ; Moreland.. Mitchell promised long ago that Moreland should succeed John Hall as United States dis trict attorney, but Senator Fulton had given a similar - promise to George' C Brownell, so that a deadlock resulted which- has prevented either of the as pirants from being appointed. Mitchell would like to absolve himself of his ob ligation to Moreland by giving the lat ter the nomination for district attorney It will probably bear Moreland'a name, will probably ' bear V Moreland'a name. There is soma: question, however, whether Jack .. Matthews would have enough loyalty to Mitchell to exert him self very actively In Moreland'a behalf, and Matthews controls a considerable number of the. delegates. C. F.' Lord is making an active campaign- for the nomination, and his friends say that if it is to be an open fight he has a fair chance of success. They admit, however, that If the con vention is' to be programed he will not be the machine's choice. "Charlie Lord has spent lots of money for the party," say his adherents, "and he deserves to get something in return. He spent all he made when he had the office before, and it Is no more than right that he should get it again." : John Logan Is another candidate whose chances will be greatly enhanced if the nomination is to be made with out interference by ' the - machine, al though he has been an' active worker for the Mitchell faction. : He has some warm friends among the delegates. It has been said that Logan might combine forces with Sanderson Reed, with the understanding that he will be made chief deputy in the event of Reed's nomina tion, but this la denied by both of them. -, E. S. Pague . will probably have some votes In the convention, though he has not yet developed ' any. considerable strength. - Roger SInnott wanta the nomination and Is 'said to have the back ing of Judge Carey. City Attorney L. A. McNary is reputed to be making a still hunt' for the nomination, although he has a year to serve in his present po sition, and - his deputy. John P. Kav anaugh, is in -the running, but probably with the Idea of getting the position of deputy district attorney. ; V;. Machine Bale Galls. 'There is a considerable element'-" in the dominant Republican faction which has grown restive under the rule of the machine, and this has been 'manifest ever since the county convention. "The work in the county convention was alto gether too raw." said 'one Republican yesterday. 1 "I am a Mitchell man and I voted with that aide In the "primaries, but I don't like to see- a slate : put through as It was when the county nominations were made. We won In the primaries because we promised to give the people an honest' and econom clal county administration, but some of the nominations for county offices cer tainly do not look as if the promise Is to be kent If the nominations for dls- fttict attorney and circuit Judgea are to be programed in the same way, there will be a big kick." -: "If our promises of reform In the county , government mean anything," 1 said another, "it Is time to put up a candidate for district attorney who will try to enforce the laws. Instead of standing in with the lawbreakers." Such expressions as , these are fre quently heard and within the last few days it has been -seriously , suggested that a strong 'man for the nomination for district attorney would be County Judge L. R. Webster. It .Is argued that he has thoroughly proved bis -ability and his fidelity in the office which he now holds, and that if made district attorney he would put a summary end to the law lessness and the abuses "which have long reigned unchecked. -. But the suggeatlon that he should be come-a candidate for district attorney receives no encouragement from Judge Webster. When the Idea was first broached to him 'some time ago he re plied that he was not a. candidate for the nomination, and that It was his am bition to carry to completion' his plans for the betterment of the county's af fairs. He has frequently said that he purposed to free the county from debt before leaving the county bench, and already a very large part of the burden has been lifted. Many reforms have been instituted by. Judge Webster and he has Important plans for the further improvement of the county government It is extremely jdoubtful whether he could be Induced to forego the Accom plishment of these plans, "as he would be obliged to do If he were to become a candidate for any other office. : -Judge Webster Says "Ho." "I am not seeking the nomination for district attorney," said Judge Web ster. "If any of my friends have been suggesting such a thing It is not to be regarded seriously. I have my hands full where I am. ' No one need look upon me as a candidate, for I am not" Judge Webster's . administration of the county's affairs afforded the Mitchell faction one of Its most potent argu ments in the campaign before the pri maries. "Webster did more than any one else to win our fight," said one Mitchell Republican. "We got the votes of the taxpayers because of the way he has managed the county busi ness." But though Webster's nomina tion would -undoubtedly meet with strong approval he has still two years to serve In his present office and ap. parently is not disposed to consider the suggestion, that he relinquish It In order to be come district attorney. NOTED PLAYERS IN "THE TWO ORPHANS" (Journal Special Service.) : New York, March 28 No more nota ble cast for a dramatic production has been assembled In America since the all-star .cast for "The Rivals", brought together by - Joseph Jefferson a num ber of yeara ago than that which will be seed on the stage of the New Am sterdam theatre tonight for the revival Of "The Two Orphans." Clara Morris has, .emerged from re tirement to take the part of Sister Gene vieve, and the other noted actresses In the vast are Margaret Illington, Grace George, Annie IrU,J, Clara Blandickand Elita Proctor Otlv Kyrle Bellew. James O'Nell, J, H. Gllmbur and Charles War ner, the eminent English actor, afe to have the principal male parts. It Is worthy of note that the present revival Is under the direction of the veteran manager "A. -M. Palmer, under whose management "The Two Orphans" was given its original production at the Union-Square theatre In this city in 117. At that time the piece broke all records for long runs. . Eminent Doctors Disagree. ' ' , From the St Paul Dispatch. ' Ex-Secretary Root told the Republican club of New York City to stand pat. The same day Secretary Taft was before the senate committee urging free trade with the Philippines. Thus do we find that "harmony" of which we hear so much. Mill ."-'"V .'

PorUand March fc8.-To the Editor of The Journal I am sure that The Jour pal would not knowingly do an injus tice to any one and that Us criticism of K. W. Haines on 8unday originated from information " obtained from previously published reports concerning-the action taken by the superintendent of the Boya' and Girls' Aid society to secure the custody of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Haines. The truth ot the whole matter is this: . R. W. Haines is a cripple, having- lost all of one hand but the forefinger and thumb. . While engaged In building, something more than a year ago, a fall ing timber broke his right leg at the ankle. The Injured limb was. It la ap parent, imperfectly treated, and his right foot Is of little use to him. His leg aft the ankle la almost the shape' of an elbow of a stovepipe, and every time he steps one can hear the hones In his ankle grind together as . if in a bone crusher. In his condition It is Impos sible for him to do any work that re quires strength whereby weight would be put upon his right leg. i I know ot a certainty that he la at aU times willing to do any kind of work his condition will permit' him to do. At his solicita tion I have myself endeavored to secure employment for him. but as yet have not been successful. Mr. Haines is accused of collecting the pay of his young son. whose age I judge is about IS. It la true that he has done this, but he did so for the boy's Own good. - The child had learned to smoke cigarettes, and Mr. Haines collected his pay and Invested the money in clothes for the lad, Instead of the boy fritter ing his wages away In cigarettes. The child has always had the appearance of careful attention, Is neatly dressed ana has received the very best training hla father has had opportunity to give him. . On the 19th of last August I received at my home a daughter of Mr. Haines, aged between 11 and 11 yeara 8he was sick at the time, but care and love re stored her , health. , and , when ; school opened up for the ' fall and winter we sent the little girl to school, and she haa " brought .us , a deportment card marked 100 each month since. This would Indicate that -Mr. Haines had not neglected the training of his daughter, either. Indeed,, I doubt If. there Is a better behaved, a more lovable or kind lier little girl In the state. . One of the Haines boys Is adopted by a well-to-do family of Marlon county. He is In a religious home there and re ceiving training that will likely remain with him through all his life.. .,vr. ' Mrs. Haines is a woman considered hy acquaintances as somewhat weak minded, an affliction for which she is, of course, not accountable. She is not fitted for anything but the most menial service, and therefore la not capable of helping her husband to keep the family together. It has been impossible for the father to do this alone, and , from , my knowledge of the case It seems that ever since adversity overtook him the cruel Jiand of man has been turned against htm and his. Bbt, as a matter of fact, he deserves the sympathy of the public, and would have It If all were acquainted. with all the circumstances, as I am acquainted with them. IL 8. HARCOUKT.

': .'. '.'' Portland. March 28. To the Editor of The Journal 8everal months ago there appeared in your esteemed paper an in teresting article, republished from - ths Ladies' Homo Journal, entitled, "Mrs. Eddy as She Really Is," by Oscar L, Stevens. As the article In question con tained -a statement regarding - Mrs. Eddy's ancestry, which she has recently learned may not be authentic, the edi tor of the Christian Science Sentinel has at her request made correction thereof in his issue of March 12, and It seems but just to your readers and to all con cerned that this statement be given pub lication in the columna of The -Journal. Ths editorial runs as follows: ' "Some years ago a relative f awur leader and teacher, the Rev. Mary Baker Q. Eddy, a member of the McNeil Tarn lly from which Mrs. Eddy descended, re ported that the Right Hon. Sir John Mc Neill, O. C B.. of Edinburgh, Scotland, was her ancestor. - The source of Information seemed to be authentic and the statement was ac cepted and used In good faith by writers on Mrs. Eddy a genealogy. t "Mra. Eddy haa had this matter care ful? Investigated, and having obtained $22.00, $26.00 $18.00, $19.00 . j $12.00, $14.00 ALL ABSOLUTELY PERFECT It Will Mean That You Can Save a Lot of Money on Your ' Wearing Apparel no positive proof that the Right Hon. Sir John McNeill was her ancestor, ahe requests that all others writing upon ber biography shall In future observe this correction. "Oen. John Mc,NeiI, who is known as the hero of Lundy's Lane, was a rela tive on Mrs. Eddy's father's side of the Baker family, and he was the brother of President Pierce'a mother. This la prob ably the line of McNeils to which Mrs. Eddy belongs.', Mrs. Eddy herself haa no special interest In these subjects. . "ARCHIBALD M LELLAN." As there are not less than seven dis tinct ways of spelling; ths family name of McNeil, it is not altogether surpris ing that some misunderstanding of an cient connection and ancestry haa arisen in the case In point. It Is evident, how ever, from the above statement that it is Mrs. Eddy's earnest -desire to make auch general correction of this mis statement as is possible. : Respectfully, DAVID R OGDEN. ; State Publication Committee. TXM2 TO STOP TUHf BftEAXXpO. From Wall Street Journal. -The government's victory is a-cause ot - satisfaction to us. not because it may. temporarily Interfere with the plana of Mr. Hill for the development of. the northwest, not because we have been anxious to see an individual, com pany destroyed, but because we have felt from the first that the time had come to put a stop to further attempts to evade the law as It stood on the statute books. We have had from the firat confidence In the beneficent pur poses of Mr. Hill so far as the Interests of . the people of the northwest were concerned, and we have always Insisted that he should be, in every respect dis tinguished from the crowd of specula tive bankers and promoters who went into the business of -railroad combina tion, In so. tumultuous & fashion three years ago.. It waa not, however, the Northern Securities company alone that was on trial, for had that principle been accepted, under the law, the way would have been clear for a combination of all the railroads of the United States In one company, which would surely be against publlo policy Therefore, :; we arguea, the principle exemplified in the securities company must necessarily be contrary to publlo policy, and therefore contrary to law declaring publlo policy.

The drama would have to be altered somewhat and some of the more stupendous features remodeled. .
