UURUE TO
BE DOWNED
Republican Caucus Tonight
Is Expected to bnow a
Strong Inclination to
Push Senator Far Into the
Dim Background.
Jonathan Bourne. Junior senator, is
flown and out so far a the state con
vention is concerned. H la not to ha
the bead of the state delegation to Chl
t ago. Ha la not to be delegate, at
s i? He is not to have a friend on the
.tflogatlon and the aecond elective term
Ming Is to be drowned out under (he
Honoroua awing and rhythm of a rhetori
cal Taft Indorsement,
Like a. hive of gigantic bees the dele
ates from over the state are swarm
mi about the Fulton-Taft and the Mul-sey-Beach
headquarters at the Imperial
today. In every corner and on every
i loor men are hanging onto buttonholes
, rul talking confidentially of what ought
j o be done. , ...'
Caucus Will Beta Xt
Tonlfcht these delegates will swarm
nd some time before the dawn will be
ived In caucus. Then everything will
ne cut out according to pattern. What
ever differences there may be between
the Fulton headquarters and Its fallow
ing and those finding haven where Mr.
..-ni-h and Mulkey hold forth, will be
settled in the caucus. Out of the talk
fust will come a slate and an old-time
i -rogram which will make the bones of
.rartcd leaders glow, with the pulsa
i kiiis of resurrecting warmth. The
main result of It all will be the ellmlna-
ion of Senator Bourne and the assas-
Mimtlon of hi ambitions.
When the convention Is called to-,
-M-ther tomorrow everything Is expected
i run like a well oiled clock, W. M.
t :ake, chairman of the state central i
committee, will call the gathering to
il other' at 10 o'clock In the Empire the-'
, t re. He will call upon the delegates
fur party harmony, cessation of fac
rional strife and the advancement of the
banner which Lincoln and Grant and
Oxrfield, IdcKlnley and Theodore Roose
velt have carried to victory. Then he
wtil, if he does what Is expected, call
for nominations for temporary chair
man and the slate will be brought out
. Cake May gam Chairman. ,
There is a vague and uncertain ru
mor that Mr. Cuke, urged by John C.
Voiing, Thomas MoCusker and Senator
i (out n, wlli attempt to name the tem
porary cnalrnian, by request. If. he
-.', the prophet' any, the convention
will at itnce look like a -millionaire's
ni eating hit by a dynamite bomb.
If ha does, delegates say, Mr. Cake will
f r ltmlnatod from the convention just
Senator Bourne la to be eliminated
i'om the national delegation. Anything
at gets into the cogs will be picked
in email plersv'
After the temporary chairman la se
' rted the credentials ...committee will
a translated from the slate and" a
inrt recess will be taken ' until - I
clork, to give the committee a chance
i determine who shall have seats in
',' convention. At 1 o'clock ' the real
notion will begin. At that time the
- i.ite will be read still further down
i id a permanent chairman, permanent
!-'retry, permanent- committees and
national delegates will be found. Preal
. :ntial electors will also be found on
slate. In fact everything necessary
'-r the guidance of the chairman and
ih gathering will be there.
Shut Out Bonn Man.
Tt is admitted that the - caucus to
night will ' settle all of the wrangling
in the convention.- From reports that
' nve come in so rar it ig coneeaea thai
lsmirne will have m th

The rilBpoHltlon Is to shut Bourne and
Hourne talk out or tne aeieeatlon. ana
it la probable that -any effort on the
part or the Bourne men to sram anv ex-
tended hearing will be ridden down with
an iron will.
George H. Williams Is being talked of

gate to the convention at Chicago and

derstood the situation, there would be
no. disposition to do anything but to
aid the city officials in maintaining a
Quarantine. '
Aided by H. G. Parker, deputy health
officer, and Fumigator Boollard, Dr.
Pohl has worked unceasingly for the
past 10 days In ferreting out cases and
establishing quarantines at the homes
visited by the malady. This has been
an exceptionally hard task because of
the mild manner Iff which the disease
has attacked the patients. In many
cases the disease made Us appearance
In such a mild form that visiting physi
cians thought the children were af
flicted with the "Oregon Itch" and
clacken-pox. ...
Inasmuch 'as the city officials have
had so much extra Work to do in re
gard to the epldemle they intend taking
no chances of having the work undone
by an improper observance of the quar
antine laws. Dr. Pohl stated today that
arrests will Immediately follow auch In
fractions. She said that if tha parents
and afflicted persons understood the
situation as thoroughly as the health
officers, there wouldTbe no Effort made
to do anything that might embarrass
the city officials In stamping out the
dread disease.

have been given to understand that this
was the action taken last Friday at a
meeting of presidents held in New York
and confirmed at a aecond meetlngMiold
