Political Gathering at Klamath
Fails to -Arouse Republi

(Speclil DUpatch to Th Journal.)
Merrill, Or., Feb. M.q. T. Oliver,
chairman of the Republican county
committee of Klamath county, wia In
Merrill explaining his plan for the re
organization of the Republican party
to select a county ticket for the coming
campaign without running amuck of the
direct primary law. Oliver Bent cir
cular letter lnvltatjone to Hepubllcanr
to meet in Klamkth Falls today," when
he will outline his plan. . The plan consists-
of the formation of Republican
clubs In the various precincts, each of
these local clubs sending a representa
tlve to a county conference of club dele
gates, when "recommendations" will be
In order for the candidates to be voted
on at the direct primaries.
Republicans In Merrill are reluctant
to embrace this somewhat peculiar mode
of "bootlegging" around the direct pri
mary law, and distrust the premature
-political gatheJjrg as being Intended In
some way to place candidates in the
field who are opposed to the removal of
the court house.
It la not known that this is the ob
ject sought, but the Merrill end. of the
county wants representation on the
board of county commissioners, and the
people here wish to choose a man who
favors the new court house sits.
Thieves Fall Oat; One Die.
(Uoltod Prone IXHwd Wire.)
Seattle, Feb. 21. That an unknown
man, murdered In a. room in a cheap
hotel here Saturday night came to his
death In a quarrel over the division
of spoils between "gang of graftcrg,"
Is the assertion of the police today.
The man, about 30 years old,' was found
with fou bullets In his head, three
from a 38' caliber gun and one from a
12. Qhortly after shots were heard late
Saturday night, one of the two men who
had engaged the room . ran down the
stairs, colliding with a chambermal l.
The proprietor saw him dash through
the door. That he was wounded was
plain, as he left a trail of blood on
the stairs.

By holding to their business property
1909 tariff law was the best. ever passed
In this country has thrown' the Repub
lican fat Into the fire again. It was
announced that the speech was to be
the signal for reuniting the party. In
stead, It stirred anew the -fires of re
volt, and every day now come to this
city news of most Intense indignation
against the president's second endorse
ment of the tariff bill.
Perhaps as good evidence as any of
the delight of the New England highly
protected Interests over the tariff bill
speech of Mr. Taft Is that Pnator Hale
of Maine, second to Aldrlch In command
of the senate, has had the president's
remarks printed in the Congressional
Record, and that the national Republi
can congrgMSlonal committee will send
out thlr speech as a campaign document
this year.
The committee In controlled by the
high tariff men.
Cannon's Bpeeoh.
The committee Is sending out this
speech together with the president's
Winona speech and Mr. Cunnon'H Kan
sas City speech. In which the speaker
"read out of the party" all Insurgents.
It Is obvious that the leaders of the
f
Republican party, such Aldrloh, Can
non, Payne and even the president. In
no sense realize the extent of the popu
lar Tevolt that has spread over the
country. One of them the other day
said that he "thought It no more ser
ious than an epidemics of influenza."
And Inasmuch as the president is
surrounded by only such advisers as
the Aldrlch, Cannon, Hale, Wlckersham
type. It Is obvious that he,, too, dis
credits the popular revolt and doesn't
understand the present temper Of the
masses.
Semoorats Slow, Too.
On the other hand, those who look
beneath the surface, see among most
of the Democratic leaders the same fail
ure to discern actual conditions. 8ome
such as Bryan, Champ Clark, Con
gressman Rnlney, Congressman James,
and Oregon's own senator, Oeorgo
Chamberlain appraise at full value this
uprising. But most of them see no
farther than a possible party victory
In the 1910 congressional elections, and
are to he depended on for no more
genuine relief tlmn the present ruling
Republican leaders.
The conviction Is deepening In Wash
ington that the 1910 elections offer
hope for the people only ns the voters
forget party claims and support such
candidates as In their personalities rep
resent dependable progressive tenden
cies. Combine for Success.
The word Is going oyt In nil directions
that In all congressional districts there
should he a coalition between prog
ressive Democrats and progressive Re
publicans, and In many locnlltles this
Idea Is being openly advocated.
In extensive conversation, for In
stance, with progressive 'Democrats
here, I find them anxious that progres
sive Democrats in Washington state
support Mile Poindexter of Spokane,
now congressman and a candidate for
the senate to succeed Piles.
The keenness of the oldtlme party
loyalty is lessened to a degree. This
year, if Wsshlngton city is Informed
of the country's temper, It will be men,
measures and progress, rather than
party slogans, partisanship and plat
forms, which will Interest the voters.

About Plain Carpeting
The tendency toward simple effects in floor
coverings is shown in the increased demand
for plain carpets and solid colors. As a back
ground for oriental or fine domestic rugs,
nothing equals the soft shades of green na
ture's own background. Tan comes next in
popularity, and the deeper shades of brown
lend an increased richness to the arts and
crafts decorative scheme. 'Simple band and
Greek borders make beautiful rug effects for
large rooms at a modest cost. For store and
office use, the plain fabrics are splendidly
adapted and many fine showrooms in Port
land have used them with great success.
Ask to see them. In the Carpet Department

MaKers L. & J. G. Stickley
Time and again has it been predicted by many who were
associated with the furniture industry that the popularity
of "quaint" furniture was on the wane. But this has been
dispelled by the fact that this style of furniture has steadily
increased in favor and demand, and particularly in the past
year. Modern-day craftsmen have faithfully adhered to t tie
characteristics of the original old handicrafts have pre--
served the features that are distinctive in their designs today quaintness, practi

be greatly increased in the next few weeks. A number of new arrivals are now
