Charge Violation of Platform.
From every hand the accusations nre
being hurled at the Hodaou maclilne
candidates that the pledge taken by
them "to vote for the peonies choire
for United States senator, provided he
in a Republican," la a direct violation
of the platform blocked out for the
party by the late convention, and that
the juggled pledge hna been taken nlth
the sole object In view of defeating th
primary law and throwing the senato
rial election Into the Joint assembly,
where It can be fought out on the old
time line of battle, with boodle, blood
money and corruption.
Tha Hodson machine has not stopped

next city and county central committee.
Urged by the personal solicitation of the
various members on the leglalatlve slate
and by others working with them,
among the most active of whom la Fer
dinand K. Ileed, the campaign manager
of the alate. men have been Induced
throughout the city to file their declara
tions as candidates for election aa pre
cinct committeemen. It Is hoped In this
way to secure absolute control o the city
and county politics for the next two
years.
Tbe campaign of tha machine is now
oa In full wing- rerdlnand Bead, who
managed the mayoralty eampalgn last
Jane for T. C. Berlin and ronnded up
tha north end rote for him, and who
was thrown oat of the offloes of the
city central committee by tha better ele
ment of that organisation, haa been re
tained as the manager of the machine
campaign. Ho is struggling to perfect
n "block system" organisation of the
olty and county, and ia being paid from
3 to $10 a moMn by various lndlrid
nala to fnrnlsh him wlti funds for his

I la la addition to the larger campaign

sources which are being secured to carry
on the fight.
Ouilty of Cowardly Attack.

uted, and which conalated of the faN
and twisted anonymous clrculura sent
through the mails and circulated at the
county convention, attacking The Jour
nal for Its stand for the primary law
mill Statement No. 1. were set up In the
printing establishment of A. A. Ilalley,
printed on tho presses of S. I', lleueli,
and folded and prepared for circulation
by the employes of C. W. Ilodaon.
At the time the circulars made their
appearance the machine leaders denied
any knowledg-e of their authorship or
source, and bemoaned the fact that any
such scurrilous screeds should make
their appearance in the campaign.

man who filed hla declaration under
the Hodson flag to run for precinct
committeeman, this morning.
Ills companion made a short explana
tion. See Things In Vew Light.
"The Republican convention pledged
all leglalatlve candidates to stand on a
Republican voter's choice for United
States senator." he said. The Hodson
combination have all taken a pledge to
vote for the people's choice, provided
bo Is a Republican! Hodson said in the
convention that he did not know who
he would vote for In the event he was
elected to the legislature. Ioea that
look as If they were Intending to stand
on the convention platform?''

MANILA RESIDENTS GREATEST
INK DAUBERS IN THE WORLD
Manila usea more writing ink than
any other city proportionately in the
world. The Chinese are gradually be
coming accuatomed to American Inks,
and are using them more than ever be
fore. The postal card craze has not
only spread over all thlH country, but
to the orient as well, and owing to this
fact the ink business in the far cant Is
improving every day. There is no ink
truat in this country.
The foregoing facts are Borne inter
esting details regarding tho ink business
obtained from J. A. Maoaulay of Berke
ley, California, who travels over half
or the world for Carter's Ink company,
and who is at the Oregon hotel. Kvery
year he makes a trip to Manila, and I
the principal cities of China and Japan.
He lias Just returned from the orient.
"The Filipinos are among the great
est penmen in the world," Mr. Macaulay
said this morning, "and consequently
they use a grout deal of Ink The ink
companies of the United HtnteB cell
more writing fluids in Manila than in
any other city ui cordlng to its size in
the world.
"The Chinese nn,l the Japanese are
becoming more Interested than ever In
the postal card craze, ami In addition
great numbers of the souvenirs are
sold to the tourists. This makes the
Ink business in the orient good, and It
Is Improving right along. Many Chi
nese are also adopting tho English lan-
at the various educational Insti
ls and of course this all has a
tendency to Increase tho writing ink
trade."

tlons to quash wtj! be made by attor
neys for T. T. Burkhart and John E.

Ross.
The motion to dismiss Is baaed on
two grounds In each case. First, that
the district attorney, sitting as a grand
Jury, examined witnesses during the
legal hoJIdaya; second, that all the
names of witnesses examined ure not
Indorsed on the informations. The mo
tion la supported by an affidavit from
Rosa to the effect that the district at
torney has made no new investigation
alnce the examination of wltneahrs con
ducted during the legal holidays, and
bv an affidavit from Court Reporter C.
H. Sholes, certifying to testimony giv
en by District Attorney Manning when
the former motions to quash were ar
gued. As Judge Cleland passed upon the
questions involved by the motions when
they were submitted on similar motions
before, tho defense probably does not
expect to win on this procedure, but
makes the move In order to save ex
ceptions for a possible appeal later on.
The effect will be to delay the cases
for a time, to he followed. In all prob
ability, by further delay pn filing of

When a Chinaman gets in jail, it Is
the easiest thing In the world for him
to raise any amount of bond money.
White men frequently He in prison for
days and weeks, and even months, and
sometimes years, merely because none
of their brothers have confidence
enough In them to risk their property
on their appearance In court at tho
proper time. But a Chinaman nearly
always gets out as soon aa he is put in
For instance, -Chin You, a man, and
Leongr So, a woman, arrested by the
Immigration authorities yesterday on
suspicion of being Illegally in this coun
try, were before United States Commis
sioner Sladen yesterday afternoon and
bound over for further hearing. Chin's
bond was placed at 11,000, and the bail
of Leong, the almond-eyed maiden, at
l-'.OOO.
The government accepts nothing but
gold for bonds. Almost as soon as Com
missioner Sladen had given his decision
a gang or Chinamen appeared at the
federal building, each armed with aa"k
of gold. The $3,000 for the two was all
there.
Leong and her affinity were arrested
as they alighted from a San Francisco
train. They were practically unknown
here and have no relatives in Portland.
Still, when arrested and their bond
fixed, they were released' in no time.
The Chinese in this country are all Just
naturally loyal to their brothers and
sisters so far away from the land of
tneir Dirui.

MARION COUNTY PATRIOTS WILL
INSIST ON STATEMENT NO. I
"Statement No. 1 will carry Marion
county, in my belief," said Henry J. Mil
ler of Aurora, who was a business vis
itor ia the city todaV. Mr. Miller has
announced his candidacy for the Re
publican .Domination for representative
from Marion county and has taken a
stand on a Statement No. 1 platform.
. "f have been over the county a good
,n the past few weeks," said Mr.
Miller, tn discussing the question, "and
j - f, Vlat ,he voprs generally out
HuMLof Salem will stand solidly for tho
primary law and Statement No. J. The
farmers believe in the principle of direct
election of United States senators and
that the people's choice should govern
the action of the legislature. For that
reason they will stand back of the prin
ciple and will insist that it-be the prin
ciple of. the representation of the county
in the legislature.
"In Salem, it is true, there is a strong
sentiment against Statement No. 1, but
it comes for the most part from the pro
fessional politicians who live there. Tho
people generally throughout the county
do not oppose the principle of Statement
No. 1, and. from what I have learned of.
their attitude from talking with them,
will back up their convlotions at. the
polls in April, andvagaln lnfJune." ,.'
