Great effort is being made by the old line ' ring politicians .hungering - for a return to the old system of machine politics and desirous of thwarting the Will or the people In the next legislature by tha defeat of Governor Chamberlain J"'Tdr"TJrtUed States' senator, to sliow that hi selection in June by popular vote was tha result Of fraud In, the primaries. Since tha result of the June election be- i- fcA-M lrxAWH i tv V,thM huan . auaair(t . ra. i peatedly that the nomination of Oakel by the Republicans and the dofeat ofl""; Senator Fulton in the primaries were due entirely to the raot tnat large num bers of Democrats, particularly in Mult- 1 nomah" county, had registered as Repub licans witn tha preconcerted ana precon ceived Idea of voting for Cake and after wards Hunnortinsr Chamberlain. It has been asserted that - by i the nomination of Cake, a weak man. the Democrats were able to elect Chamberlain ia June. In support of this theory ntatistlcs have been laboriously -compiled! from the Multnomah county registration books during , the. past three , weeks or more by the Oregonlan, which effort cul mlnated this morning In the alleged dis covery that since the 1906 registration 639 voters of the county had changed their party affiliation from the Dem ocratic to the Republican column, as shown by tho registration books of' 1908. From this statement It Is deduced entire total of these, voters east their ballots for Cake, because they consid ered him to be,. a weaker man than Ful ton, and then, having . nominated him, voted for Chamberlain,, thus giving the latter the popular vote..

It is full of flar ing crure, intentional or otherwise. It ins . aupncauons, ; as snown oy a ry examination.. For example, ac cording to the list, W. P.

Currle In both 89 and 3; K. D. Smith in both 9 and 29: 8. R. At wood Jn both 89 and 60. These duplications have been shown by a hasty examination of the list, and It Is probable that there are many others. That the main asumptlon con. ceming tne manner in wmcn tne votes were cast in June la wrong la shown by the expressions of a few men, chosen at random from among the names given. These men tell different stories. Some registered as Republicans lor Fimon, not por vatte. utners naa previously registered as Democrats In 1908.

HITCHCOCK RW1 Offered to Step Out r ns Di rector of Taft Campaign at Meeting of Advisorj' Com mittee designation Not Accepted. ; .' . (TJnltM Presi LeasM Wire.) "Waghlngton, Sept. 21. It leaked ofit today that National Republican Chairman Prank II.; Hitchcock last Thursday '. offered to resign his po sition .as director of the Taft cam paign at a meeting of the advisory committee in- New Ydrk. Hitch- cock's resignation was "not accepted ', as it was realised that it would be a tactical blunder to change the man agement ef the campaign at this stage. i It is stated here that the members of the advisory committee were tired of the apathy of the public and called the meeting, on their own responsi bility to discuss the situation. 'floppers" In tha-county. Strong on the Wop Stunt. From this second assumption it is ar gued that there were in all probability not less than 2,000 "oarty -invaders" who went into the Republican ranks In the last primaries with the fell design set out. From alt of this It la discovered that these men, voting as a unit, nom inated Cake in April, and then flopping back to the Democratlo column, defeated him in June by voting for Chamberlain. Men today who know the conditions of not only Multnomah county, but of the entire country, and those who do not know but who stop to think, are laughing at the absurdity of the con tentions set out and at the illoglc of the assumption. - It is also seen that the conclusion has been arrived at by gar hied statistics, by using an incorrect nit as a basis of calculation, and by overlooking the natural and well-known trend and past conditions of Multnomah connty and national politics. The charge made that the nomination of Cake was secured by fraud and that the popular vote given to Chamberlain waa tne irujuun m tnia iiauu jb uhmq 1 on the discovery, according to the list eomoiled by the Oregonlan. that 539 1 men. registered as Democrats In 1906, 1 will show that many of these men went cnangTa i nrir - resii.rmi.itjii ..-..,.- . . cans in 1908.

It's worth while. , Tou nill find them all fhere the pampered pets or tho stock breeders, with the stables already nearly filled. the keep coming in. All sections of uregon are represented, and some of the race horses coma from stables far to the asst. Although the ahow formally opened this morning, the crowds did not be gin to arrive until after noon. There were hundreds of people in the . spa cious grounds, but t her ware for the most part either employes of the man. agement hurrying . to complete theWle- talls and gather on the odds and ends Incident on the rush work of getting things In readlheea for the show, er else exhibitors and car takers of the stock. Most of the arrivlty this morning centered about the racing stables, where the trotters, tiacers and runners were being groomed, shod and generally made ready for the speed contests that began at 1:30 this afternoon, and about the huge stables where the exhibits or horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry are stabled.. The empty vault of the huge grand stand echoed to the thud, thud, thud of the npe-dy horses that were being exercised on the track. It would be hard to find a more beautiful exhibition of racing horseflesh than Is to be seen on the track. It needs only a look at the busy track to assure one tnat tne promise or good races tnat naa Deen made by the management of tha show will be carried out. The track Is in excellent condition and Is getting better with every hour of use. while the weather, which . was threatening in the early morning.' haa cleared and the day la ideal for the opening and for the apeed events.

Crane declined to discuss the rumor that prominent members of The United States senate were consider ing taking action against certain sena tors who have been accused by William R.

Chairman Hitchcock then gave out a statment denying that a reorgan isation of the national committee - is ' contemplated, . Hitchcock explained what hal been done In the wav of organisation and declared that onlv $100,000 had been col lected for the campaign fund thus far. . Most af this money, he said, had already. been expended whll contracts lwd been ' let for the expenditures a great deal mora. Hitchcock's statement brought out the fact that young and inexperienced ;, men had been relied upon to collect money and stated that no definite as surances had been received that more money would be forthcoming.
