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.

CAKE'S ADDRESS

General Laudation of Repub

Issues Ignored.
(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.
