a member of the charter commission,
Appointed by the mayor spoke at length
ion - th different problems that had
come before the commission, giving
his -views on remedies for , defects in
.the present charter.
i Mr. Holman argued against the recall
measure, saying that It could be badly
jabused and citing Instances where If
'the recall were in effect it could be
.'utilised as a tool in the hands of pol
iticians. Mr. Holman called attention
,'to the fact that popular excitement

j-would not vote if they were given time
to think over the questions at issue or
fcnew what the result might be.
j "It would be very simple," he said,
I "to get one fourth of those who vote

!to recall the successful candidate and
(take nim out of office, simply because
rhe was not their choice. I remember,
iwhen Ben Holladay wanted a railroad
franchise' on Fourtn street. The legis

Governor Grorer .vetoed It. - Then Mr.
Holladay asked for $100,000 with which
td build It anyway. - He secured the
appropriation, built the road and
laughed at the governor' and two years
later the same people who had been in
"favor of the railroad would have given
IJialf a million to get It off."

SALE
OF PARK BONDS
- i
City Board Recommends Im
mediate Marketing of
$5,000,000 of Securities.
At a joint meeting of the park board
and the committee on parks and publle
property yesterday rfTterfioon, by the
advice of City Attorney Kavanaugh a
resolution was adopted recommending
that the city council pass an ordinance
at Its adjourned session next Monday
afternoon authorizing - the Immediate
sale of S500.000 worth of park bonds.
The committee will also recommend
that the council enact a law giving the
park board authority to get options for
park purposes before announcing the
location of parks. By so doing the city
can get land cheaper. Mr. Kavanaugh
thinks, than it could if the sites were
announced first. .Then tendency on the
part of property-owners in the latter
case would be to raise the price.
Mayor Lane advocates the utmost
publicity in buying park lands. Isa
dora Lang, formerly -of the park board,
wanted to negotiate secretly the pur
chases of park acreage. That is believed
to be the reason that Mr. Lang was not
urged too earnestly to remain on the
board when his term expired some time
ago.

S8AYS SHEEPMEN OF OREGON LOOK
FOR A MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR
"The holdings of the sheepmen of
.Oregon have advanced In value nearly
ill.OOO.OOO since the presidential' elec
tion," says Montie B. Owlnn. president
Bf the American National bank at Pen
dleton and one of the largest sheep
owners In the state. Mr. Gwlnn Is at
the Hotel Portland.
i "To make a rough guess, I would say
that there are 1.600,000 sheep in Ore
gon," Mr. Gwlnn continued. 'Before
election ewes were selling for $3.80.
Since then they have advanced until
now they are worth $4. B0 each. Other
'sheep have also advanced In price from
.t0 cents ud. The Industry has a orom-
Sslng outlook and 'we look for one of
the mm prosperous years mai me
sheepmen of Oregon have ever had.
"And not only are conditions good in
'the sheep business, but In every other
line. The prospects for winter wheat
'at this season of the year are better
than they have been at any time lry20
years.
"Mutton Is becoming more and more
popular with the American people every
day. The reason for this was explained
to me by a Chicago restaurant man,
not long ago. He said he rould serve
only a few of his favorite customers
with, a really good steak. .This, of
course, is due to the fact that there are
comparatively only a few choice cuts
of beef. Persons eating in cafes and
restaurants naturally are aware of these
facts and know that In most rases
where a steak Is ordered they are tak
ing chances as to whether it will be
poor, -medium or really good enough to
eat. A choice cut of beef Is expensive.
SO the ordinary man looKs ror some
thing In the meat line to take the place
of steak.
"And In most Instances mutton is the
meat decided upon. In ordering lamb
or mutton chops one is reasonably cer
tain of getting a good piece of meat.
This Is true with reference to other,
cuts of mutton. Persons ordering meat
from the butcher have always had oer
tain difficulty- In getting steaks to
stilt, and they, too, it seems, are grad
ually getting into the habit of buying
mutton at Intervals instead of beef.
"Eastern feeders began ordering
sheep from dealers out here the day
after election. They are still ordering
them. The sheep are sent east and are
fed at places closer to the Chicago market."

Havana, Nov. IS. -Cuba Is on the eve
of its presidential and -congressional
elections, which, according to the pro
gram arranged by the United States
government, are to end the provisional
lntorregura and once more place the Isl
and's governmental affairs lato the
hands of the Cubans. The elections will
be held tomorrow and today the waves
of political excitement throughout Cuba
are running high. For the office of
president only two candidates are In
the field. General Jose Miguel Gomes,
the coalition candidate of the two fac
tions of the Liberal party, and General
Mario Garcia Menocal. nominated by
the Conservatives.
The system of election closely re
sembles that employed In the United
States at national and state elections.
The number of electors to be voted for
Is 107, distributed among, the various
provinces as follows: Plnar del Kio 14
Havana 26, Matansas 14, Santa Clara
22, Camaguey 9, Oriente 22. In addi
tion to the electors 33 alternates, also
distributed among the provinces, are to
be voted for. In accordance with the
provisions of the constitution, the elec
tors chosen shall meet 100 days after
me election, wnen they win organize
and cast their vote for president and
ice-presiaeni.
Oomai Backed to Win.
At tomorrow's election 90 senatorial
electors shall be chosen and these, with
tne 48 provincial rouncllmen now In of
fice, shall constitute tho electoral board.
The Cuban senate will consist of 24
senators, four from each province. Thev
will serve eight years and one half
and snail be elected every four years.
One half of the senatorial electors must
belong to the class of the "largest tax
payers." There is little doubt In. the minds of
those who are well Informed concerning
the political situation In Cuba, that Gen
eral Gomes will be elected president,
and his running mate and former op
ponent. Dr. Alfredo Zayas y Alphonso.
vice-president. Both are men of great
popularity and headed ths two factions
Into which the Liberal' party was split.
It is stated that Dr. Zavas consented
to become candidate for the vice-presidency
only with the condition that there
would be no opposition to Ms nomina
tion for the presidency four years hence.
Vobody for Annexation.
Political conditions In Cuba are so
peculiar that It Is practically Impos
sible to give a clear statement of the
issues at stake In tomorrow's election.
It may be said, however, that the ques
tion of American annexation is not one
of the Issues of the campaign. All
parties are opposed to that, at least
nominally. While many leading and pro
gressive citizens believe the Island mav
never enlov Its due measure of tran
quility and prosperity while It remains
independent, tney also understand (hat
It would mean no'.Mtcal suicide and os
tracism for any Individual or party to
attempt to mane annexation a cam
palgn Issue. At the same time, there
la s tacit understanding In political
circles that the path of the successful
party and candidate will not be smooth
There ls every reason to believe that
plots have already been arranged for
uprisings ana revonmcwiarv propaganda,
no matter which party may be vic
torious. r
Bngar Man Court Unci tun.
The principal Issue of tomorrow's
election Is the question whether by the
lowering of the tariff barriers closer
commercial relations shall be estab
lished with the United States or not.
Generally speaking It may be said that
sugar planters favor the closest possi
ble relations with the United States,
for this Is their chief market They
now snjoy a concession of 20 per cent
from the regular tar If rates through the
Cuban treaty and would l only too
glad to have -the concession made larger
or the duty abolished altogether. The
sugar planters are closely Identified
with the Conservative party, whose ex
ponent at tomorrow's election Is General
Menocal, who is the manager of the
Chappara sugar estate, the largest In
tbe world. He was born in Cuba, but
educated In the United States, and is a
graduate of Cornell and of the Mary
land . Agricultural college.

.The tobacco growers, who. In a large
measure, side . with the Liberal, party,
are opposed to the establishment of
closer relations with ths United States.
They fear, that, ss It was in the case'
of Porto Klco. Cuba would bs flooded
with ' cheap . American tobacco, which

PROGRESSIVES TO
million out
Test .atr Short Session; Var
- in'' the Next If He
Stands Too Pat.
By John E. Lathrop.
WashingtAn, Nov. 13 The ways and
means committee of the house has set
November 20 for the hearing of the
lumbermen on tariff duties, at which
time It Is expected tlmbermen and mill
men from all parts of the country, es
pecially the west and south, will be
here to give their views on proposed
changes. One hears considerable about
the demand that lumber be placed on
the free-list. There Is some evidence
that powerful Influences back of the
conservation movement may 'advocate
free lumber In order that the country's
supply may not be exhausted. Owners
of large timber tracts In the United
States will oppose such a proposition
vigorously.
I was Informed by a man attached
to -the LaFollette party of radicals in
the senate and the Murdock-Cooper in
fluence in the house, that the pro
gressives are planning a terrific fight
against the standpatters In an effort
to compel the Republlcart party to adopt
a program of thorough revision of the
larnt. lie saiu:
"If anything Is obvious.. It Is that
the present ruling elements of both
houses purpose a flimsy revision pro-
f ram, protecting as much as possible ex
sting schedules. Some pretense will
be made of real revision, but reductions
In no Instance will be made which will
prevent the present monopoly control.
For Instance, the steel trust will pre
tend to accept the revision mandate,
but will see to It if possible that its
control and monopoly are not Inter
fered with, so that the exorbitant prices
will not be lowered unless the trust de
sires It. We propose putting Cannon
on test during the short session, to see
If he Is willing to accept the country's
command. If he refuses, we shall de
feat him when lie stands for reelection.
These radicals will demand that all
members show their colors, whether
Cannon or anti-Cannon.
