i 1 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, - FRIDAY EVENING, MAY " 8. 1 1808., 12 BOURNE SECURES A HAND-FREE DELEGATION Those Opposed to the Senator and His Friends Declare the Meeting Last Night Was Packed Stormy State Convention Is Now Inevitable. . After the adjournment of the love -feast of the Multnomah delegation to the state convention held last night the ' convention hall was bathed and te- smeared with political gore, rhetor! 1 rllv uneaJclne. The poor little dove ' Of peace lot lta olive branch early 4n the evening; and at ths close was left ' !" behind sorelv wounded and gasping for needed breath. Incidentally the Bourne o warriors vanished into the night chort- ling with glee, ror tney na rapiurru i a the meeting by a vote of 17 to 16 and ' bound the delegation to stand for an uninstructed fournev to the state con ' vent Ion a week from yesterday. Th. Fulton-Taft bunch, however. Is - breathing smoke and spitting blood and f teeth over the batUofleld. They will not be bound by 17 votes in a packed ' meeting, they contend, when there are l men who are lntltled to a voice in i the deliberations. The war will be carried Into the state convention where tt will b fought out to the finish " itnd one thing la certain. Bourne and hts friends will gain no concessions from any of the other factions. Declare Meeting Packed. ' It W openly asserted by the antl- - Bourns men that tfea meeting last night s ' was packed, and was called for , the :':: very purpose of forcing an unwelcome loe down the throats of the anti- Hourne men. This faction declares that V It will choke before It swallows the dose. Just as predicted In The Journal yet terday the Bourne people had the thing all framed up when the meeting ': of the delegation waa called. The men ding was called under the guiBe of an Innocently worded Invitation sent out T by James Kerchem and manipulated by V the Bourne leaders, which Invitation cave as the object of the meeting an over-mastering desire to get acquainted. T In the meantime, however, the Bourne leaders had "lined up" some 22 dele s' gates who promised to be present at the meeting and stand in for the pro t" gram. It was argued In framing; ths f meeting that not all of the anti-Bourne ' men would be present and In this the J argument was right. , After the meeting had been called y the delegates proceeded to become bet f ter acquainted In much the same man . nor hf two nrise flrhters ret close ' together. During the day a resolution T- , m .A 1 . a TI ry lAir framed up at the Bourne - headauartera. It waa bWteight to the f evening meeting by A. W.Orton. who ' ii the understudy of Thomas MeCusker, . had been colleague and coworker with John Touni. who la In turn the prime mln- Ister of Senator Bourne. For reasons of note Orton was instructed to turn t the resolution over tto C. V. Howard .. who was to spring it at the propsr : time. ' , Xeaotatlos Appears. . After a few preliminary punches the meeting warmed up and settled down. ' When harmony had been discussed for i pome little time and after It had been made plain that the chief aim of all was to cuddle up like the proverbial lion, and the fabled lamb, then Mr. t Howard lightly tossed his resolution inin thu arena. It read as follows: v "Resolved, That the Multnomah dele- cation to the Republican staie conven fcv iinn In unalterably onnosed to any pol i Icy that may be calculated to engen.Ur f" Tm - ...... . I ....... 1 mrtA It characterises as mwlse such policy or any contemplated act which might cn t gender discord. Any attempt to Instruct " the delegates to the" national conven tion for or on behalf of any presi dential candidate, we believe to be a policy unwise, unjust Impolitic and In harmonious, fraught with danger to our cause at home and detrimental to Ore gon's beet Interests In congress, where many powerful leaders are serious can didates for the presidency. Therefore, be it further "Resolver, That we shall vote against an Instructed delegation to the national convention from Oregon." To describe the particular brand or oranas or narmony that were at once put on exhibition la beyond the re.il and reach of a newspaper vocabulary. In the words of "Happy" of the funny supplement, -It was sumpin' fierce." Everybody Take a Zand. Thomas MeCusker, standard bearer of Bourne, waded Into the battle in defense of the resolution. C. W. Hod son, who had sought for and obtained a proxy In order to be near the har mony fountain, waded out to meet Mr. MeCusker. They wared their arms and through the shining lenses of their agi tated classes their eyes shot fire. V. E. Williamson who Is working hard. to emulate the political triumphs of A. W. Orton, came manfully to the sup port of MeCusker, and both tried to drown Hodson out In a flood of ques tions. But Hodson refused to drown. "Sit down! Sit down!" he cried and waded through the opposing argument. Everyone in the nouse toon a wnin at the resolution but in the end it passed with 17 votes for it and 15 against. As the meeting broke up S. C. Beach, who had gone down to do- feat with the rest of the anti-Bourne men, stopped the retreat and rearing himself aloft hurled this question ;n the teeth of the grinning followers of Bourne: "Will the 17 delegates govern the other SO members or the Multnomah delegation to the state convention?" he asked. No one answered and that Is the question. Undoubtedly the meeting of last night has fanned the smouldering blaze of contention into active fire. The issue is now clearly drawn between Bourne and anti-Bourne. Last night the Ful ton men and the followers of Mulkey and Beach lined up against the Bourne faction. It la apparent therefore that while there may be a private differ ence between the two Taft factions the Bourne bugaboo will drive them Into common cause. It la a certainty. however, that there will be a most de cided scrap when the etate conven tion meets. CALDWELL, IDAHO, TO HAVE NEW BANK (Special Dlspateh to Th Jotraal.) Caldwell, Ida., May S.

(Special Dispatch to Th Journal) Grants Pass, Or, May 8. The com bined efforts of a brass band and ths local Republican boosters failed to drum up a crowd for the Cake meeting here last night Only a handful greeted the speaker at the courthouse. An Invita tion waa given the city oouncU, which was In session, to adjourn and attend the meeting, but the city fathers con sidered municipal affairs of more lm- Sortance than Mr. Cake's speech, and ecllned. The meeting was one of the poorest and coldest held here ior some time. Mr. Cake disappointed many of those who did attend. In that he had nothing to say about Statement No. 1. He also evaded local conditions entirely and used most of his time in reviewing the record Of the grand old party: not Its record In Oregon, but many thousands the miles away from here He blamed Democratla Daxty for every ill the country has suffered. His political harangue did not appeal to his non-partisan audience, however, and elicited very little applause. BUSH FOR; IDAHO'S RECLAIMED TRACTS (8pMlal Dispatch to Th JsoraaL) Caldwell.
