THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAU PORTLAND, .SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 10, UQ8. TAFT Sl'IG OH TRUE 13 Fulton Cohorts Are Success , ful in Clackamas Bourne and Company Seem Some- whatShowed by Events of ' tie Last Few Days. Clackamas county has come to the front with IS good men and tr,ue, pledged to erv M delegates to the 7 Republican tat convention under the banner of Fulton and a Taft inetruc ' tlon to the national delegation. Teaterday the battle fought out In Oregon City, the stronghold of W. 8. TTRen. resulted In a clean sweep for the Fulton program. All of the dela ' gates, according to the report, are lined up solid, for Fulton and hla policy of a , Taft delegation. Lane county haa also swung Into the v Fulton-Taft column. Yesterday after ' coon the delegates to the state conven tlon -were- selected In Eugene. There re II delegate from that county, and at the meeting yesterday 11 delegates were selected to the congressional con vention and a second set of 11 to the - state convention proper. All of the 23 men thus selected are lined up under the Fulton banner. Lane county Is the home 1. H. Bingham, and It will be Recalled that Senator Bourne agreed with representatives of the Booth-Kelly . Lumber company that he. would vote . with them on the Fordney amendment o the Fulton land grant resolution pro vlded he was given assurance that Bingham could name the delegates from Ijine county to the state convention, "' Yesterday a strong effort was made by the Bourne following In the Lane county convention to elect one member of the delegation and their candldata . was turnel dawn by vote of 18 to 9. : ' Bourne Seems on the Ban. ,' From these Indications And others t just aa strong it would appear that Senator Bourne, John C. Young, Thomas WcCuslter and the second elective term , are on the run. The Fulton foll6wlng contends that it lias 24 counties solid In line for Fulton and an Instructed ; delegation. Only one county, Lincoln, with three delegates, Is conceded to be aolldlx for Bourne. . The Cake XoUowing seems to be fall ing in line with Bourne, apparently having heeded the warnings of John C Young. The latest story bearing this cut is one which relates that-James Xerohem and Max Cohen, secretary of i the Union Republican club, have agreed i to gather at least 30 Multnomah county i delegates In Cohen's office just prior to t the convention and send them out lined ' up solid for Bourne and his slate. The S Fulton men laugh loudly at the rumor, and say that Bourne will not have half that many delegates when the conven- tlon is called to order. - i y -otr-Boiinie-'''-'oaa;--'"--i-''.''--- s When the list of delegates was made : up each candidate was asked Whether he ! would standi for Bourne and an unin- t structed delegation. Before they could i get on' the list they had to say they i" would stand for Bourne as a delegate. Many of these men were Fulton men, who are now getting but 'At the hole by saying that they will vote to-send isourne to tne convention, proviaea n wants to wear tne collar with tne rest of the boys. , , . Stirred up by the efforts of toe Bourne men to control this convention, the radical members of the Fulton camp are now coming to the conclusion that Bourne should not be gven a place on tne national aeiegauon.

W. L. Boise, representing H. W. Fries, president of the realty board, who was absent, thanked the apple city men for the cordial reception and said ne had noted in the past lour years large au ditions to the acreage devoted to apple culture in the "Garden of the Gods, where fruits are picked by angels."

Washington, May 9. Senator For aker announced today that on Monday he will move to make his Brownsville bill - the unfinished business In the annate.' which means it will be up for discussion - each day until a vote is reached, at bis retort to President Roosevelt'a letters to senators that If the bill did pass he would veto It and If passed over, his veto he would ignore Its provisions. Foraker is determined to give Roose velt an oppprtunity to carry out his threat if he, can get votes enough to support him. Through the efforts of Oregon's dele gatlon at the national capital Portland been restored to Its position at the supply city of the northwest for the army and navy, and an additional trad of several hundred thousand dol lars" annually ; has been assured. This city formerly furnished 1200,000 worth of equipment and supplies to the com missary branch of the department of the Columbia, and this trade was lost when San Francisco dealers by unfair tactics graooea tne Dig government trade. ' The Portland chamber oft commerce took ud the matter with the commis sary aepariment or in army at wasn inicton and by the aid of the senators and representatives from this state was able' to secure favorable recognition for me nose uuy. Not only is the former business en Joyed by local business concerns recov ered but additional business to the amount or nearly xt)UO,vvQ nas been a' sured. A letter from J. B. Aleshire, quartermaster-general of the army, haa been received by the chamber of commerce advising It of this fair adjustment. The recent order of the department con centrating the buying of all supplies at uau i auusuo was utanii esuy unjust, as the goods sold to the government una iu oe snippea rrom long distances and could not be sold as cheaply as Portland merchants could hnv iHnnnimi vi ui amue supplies.
