That ft , Has ; Too Xong Been the Custom for hetirlna Officers to Name New Ad- . . ......... ...... .ministration, " A rival' ticket In opposition to the so- called "administration ticket" was post ed this afternoon at the Portlatrcr Com mercial' club, to be voted' on at the an- nual -electionJanuary 19 I The proceeding 4s unparalleled In the It years' history of the club. It grows out of strong dissatisfaction," among a large and Influential element, against the method of nominative succession by which control of the club's affairs has been kept in the hands of a few. The opposition or Independent ticket la composed ,of the following: R. V. Inman, R. U Durham. B. H. Trumbull, Dr. We,therbee, W. A. Cleland. EL H. McCraken, W. B. Glafke. John Annand. The new ticket was selected at a meet Ing of a score of members In one of the rooms at the orub last night, They went carefully over the question and discussed tha situation dispassionately, and then canvassed the membership list to get material for '.an Independent ticket. They object to the method that has -been, 4a vogue bo long by which each retiring president and DOero nf never. nors practically dictates who their suc cessors-shall -be. - .--.- ""v " ' fcrorsrnors Are trangers. In thta manner, they say, men have been kept on the board of governors who have taken little or no Interest In the club's affairs, who are rarely seen within Its doors and who ought to be weary by this time of bearing the bur dens of government. In short, they want some changes snd believe that a bit of wholesome competition in the election would have a beneficial effect. . The administration ticket ta aware that a strong movement was set under way a week ago, and there has been some lively hustling during the last few days on both- sides. The insurgents held a meeting at the dab Thursday evening, vhey did not meet In secret. but went about It openly and declared their dissatisfaction without reserve. They call themselves the ''reform ticket." and are opposed to the talked of consolidation between the Commercial dub and the chamber of - commerce. They assert that the Commercial club shoul be more democratic In Its elect Ive methods, and give the US men who support it something to say In the selec tion of tl.e management. , They assert that for 10 years the board of governors has uniformly bee selected by a nom inating committee named by the ruling powers within the circle, and . that the succeeding board of governors was con sequently but a continuation of the for mer board. Tt Is declared that the most beneficial method would be to have enough nominations to give the member) ship some choice in voting for .new governors. ,' Insurgents Oppose Merger. S." C. Beed and E. L. Thompson are both mentioned for president of the club to succeed F, W. Lead better. There will probably be still other candidates brought out before the time for election. It Is reported that Mr. Reed Is heartily In favor of merging all the commercial bodies Into .one great organization. The Insurgents are opposed to combination of these-bodies under tne plan proposed. They have pledged every . man on the ticket to oppoae the merger. -The contest Is being waged without bitterness, so far as investigation today reveals the situation. There Is a friend ly difference of opinion as to the methods of nominating and election of succeeding boards of governors, - and the objectors to the present plan are proposing. Ihat more thnjt one ticket should be offered to the voters, so that the may have a chance - to make changes occasionally in the1 policies of the club.1 , i i , .. : ... ': One 0 lg-an tie Body.. .,' , The movement to merge all the com mercial bodies is a continuation of the iSURGEflTS - '':V.?-r PhiUdelphia. agitation started two years ago by W, D. Wheelwright as president of the cbam- ' i ber of commerce. " He iPMerea befo th Manufacturers association, the Commercial club and the board of trade, and advocated the beauties and advant ages of having one giant organisation la Portland, greater than any other com mercial organisation la. the twest, .to carry on the work that la now out- up between all four bodies. . . . . '. When the next president, R. R. Hoga, came into office he did but little to fur ther this movement until' the close of his. term, when he gave It a. big push forward by declaring In his parting ad dress that the city of Portland should have one great commercial organisation Instead of tour as at present. The Com mercial club . haa (IS members, the chamber of commerce haa 860, the board of trade about eOO and the'manufaotur ere organisation has something over 110. It la argued that a great organi sation -of i,t 10 members, which,, could easily be made 1,600, would by tho very Immensity of Its' membership give Port land such a social prestige and com manding oommerotal stature that Its force would be- felt all over the United States." .It would be th greatest com mercial organisation In the entire west. There are many dissenting members in the ranks of the - Commercial club. They want to continue their club as It Is, with the exception of making tha elective methods more democratlo by having a wider choice In election of gov ernors. -The -administration ticket" is supposed to be In favor Of a merger, although none of them ias officially declared - a -platform. -The - ticket -Is composed of 8. U. Reed, Robert Ken nedy, W. B. Glafke, George H. Hill, K. H. McCraken. J. H. Thatcher. H. Wit tenberg, J. W. Ganong, William Mo Murray. One of the objections to this ticket Is that. It is alleged, none ' but Mr. MoMurray, Mr. Girtfk. Mr. McCra ken. Mr. Ganong and Mr. Kennedy fre quent the club. ITONS-OF-EARTH CRUSH OUT LIFE OF WILSON , J.'-WUaon, a laborer,- employed by C. J.
