The. conference slmolv -served to show the lmnosalhllltv of harmonising . the hostile' clans and the deep-seated antagonism in the Simon ranks to Baker and all hla works. In' other sections nf the state there haa been some disposition to bury the hatchet but In. Multnomah the old feud ia as bitter as ever. Here it was well known that Jack Matthews and Frank Baker,- the two men most detected by the Simon Republicans, were the prime movers In the scheme for a peace con ference, which waa looked on aa noth ing more than aa effort to re-eetabllah the old Mitchell machine. ' Wallace McCament was the only one of Senator Simon's old lieutenants who. took any part In the peace conference. all of hla former, comrades being con spicuous by their ebeence. -What can the Mitchell faction offer usf wag the common remark among them. .' : "Their leaders are all discredited and their organisation is a wreck. If they have chestnuts to pull out of the fire. we will not be their catspaw. . Frank Baker's personal Interest in maintaining his hold on Republican poli tics Is welt understood. He owns the printing plant in the state prlnter'a of fice and derlvea from It a substantial yearly revenue. He Is credited also with receiving a fat slice of the state printer's handsome profits and Is there fore deeply , Interested In naming the next incumbent of the office. According to the gossip, that la current among the politicians. Baker's chief object In hla effort to-reunite the factions was to be able to name ths next Republican nomi nee for atate printer, thereby insuring the continuance of the revenue which he now enjoys, i 1 ' Some of the aspirants for Other state offices who reside In this county -have been' regarding Baker's movements with jealous eyes. They suspect hint of a desire to sacrifice" all Candida tee from Multnomah county except bis own choice for atate printer. . , . "Baker Would gladly give every other place on the ticket to the outside court ties If ha could only name the state printer," said ons.ptominenf Republican who attended the peace conference. "He wanta to be able to compel every candi date In this-county to coma to him -for supoEt and then he would throw them 'Multnomah wants nothing but the atate printer;' give us that and you' can take the reef" .
