THESE C ANDIDATES
SHOULD WIN OUT AT
PRIMARIES SATURDAY
,It Is of vital Importance that yot-i
era in Saturday's primaries who are
opposed to machine rule and favor
the direct primary and Statement
No, "1 shall concentrate their strength
In voting for members of the legis
lature. . Scattering votes mean waste
of strength and. some unworthyvcan-
dldates are , masked ' under anti-assembly
' cloaks, who should be de
feated. The Journal recommends to the
voters the names of 14 candidates,
from whom the voters should pick
12, there being 12 places to till on
the county representative ticket.
The men named are all loyal to the
direct primary and Statement No. 1.
Every vote in the next legislature
will count and It Is of highest im
portance to the cause of the people
that strength Jb'e .concentrated on
men who have a chance to win.
In the last legislature the enemies
of Statement No. 1 and the 'direct
primary showed their teeth In the
Mariner bill, which proposed to le
galize the old convention system, and
the Bean-Brooke bill, which would
have made it a crime to take State
ment No. 1. Legislation of this kind
will come next January unless the
assembly candidates are defeated.
; The Journal has ; already pointed
but why certain candidates for rep
resentative are undesirable. ' In this
class are John B. Goddard, Boone
Cason, L. M. Davis and Qllver M.

- FOR LOSS OF EYE
Second Largest Amount in
History of Portland Circuit
Awarded John Touhy by
Jury in Judge Gatens' Court.
The second largest amount of damages
ever awarded in the circuit court in a per
sonal injury case, where the master and
servant question entered, was awarded
this, morning before Judge Catena In
the case of John Touhy against the Co
lumbia Steel Manufacturing Company,
The sum of $11,300 was given Touhy
for the loss of one eye.
This waa the second largest personal
injury verdict ever given in the local
court and Is the third big verdict this
terra of court against a corporation. At
torney Ralph W. Wilbur represented the
manufacturing company. C. M. Idle-
man represented Touhy.
Touhy was employed by the Columbia
Steel Manufacturing company', and was
working with a chisel, when it broke,
and a fragment struck him In the eye.
TTie eyeball was completely destroyed.
His complaint was that the company
failed to furnish suitable and safe tools
with which to work.
It was contended that the concern
allowed and provided a faulty instru
ment for the servant, and therefore was
liable- for- all injuries sustained while
working with such. It was the ques
tion of the master's relation to the ser
vant. In which if was held the latter
placed his life and limb in the employ
of the master.,
Attorney Wilbur contended that Touhy
was negligent He ridiculed the idea
that the company should be held re
sponsible for anything that happened to
the man, whom he characterized aa
being the victim of an unavoidable acci
dent This idea did not appeal, however,
to the. Jury which was out about four
hours. , '' '
The largest personal Injury case on
record In the local court Is that of Miss
Blue, a nurse, against the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company. She
received a verdict for $22,000 for In
juries received by being thrown from a
Mount Tabor car. Touhy brought suit
for $21,000. ' ' ..;
Attorney Wilbur had another personal
Injury case pending entitled Brown
against the Carmen Manufacturing com
pany, In this case Brown was seriously
Injured, and asked for damages. Attor
ney John A. Logan represented Brown.
As soon aa the. verdict waa returned In
the Touhy case this morning, Attorney
.Wilbur, it Is said, hustled to Attorney
Logan and asked for a settlement of
the Brown case.

Labor troubles . between the shippers
and the grain handlers' .union of Port
land came to a head this morning, when
the officers of the latter telephoned the
different grain exporters and the docks
that none of the members would go; to
work and would remain away until the
matter of a raise In the wage scale was
settled according to their demands. As
a result one of the grain fleet which
was to have begun loading this morning
Is idle, and 150 members of the union
are out on strike.
Under the old agreement . with the
shippers the grainhandlers received 35
cents an hour - straight time, with 60
cents an hour overtime That agree
ment expired last April, but as the
grainhandlers demanded "an Increase to
40 cents an hour straight time and 60
cents an hour overtime, no new agree
ment has been entered into up to the
present, the shippers having refused to
meet these demands. As a rsult grain
ships are tied up for the time being.
Should the strike be ratified by the in
ternational of which this local Is' a
branch, it is believed the longshoremen
will also walk out
Declare Striae.
J. I. Tucker, business agent of the
Oralnhandlers' union, said this morning
that they had notified the shippers
Monday of a meeting whloh they held
yesterday and told them that If they
had any proposition to submit that
would be the -time to do it They re
ceived no reply, however, and the re
sult was that this morning they no
tified the exporters that their mem
bers would not be at work. ,
As stated by Tucker, the attitude of
tho grainhandlers Is that they have
simply laid off until- the matter is set
tled and that they will not go back to
work until some agreement is reached
whereby they will have an increase.
Practically all of the members of the
union were at work' yesterday, and lato
ly there haa been more work than the
160 members of the local could handle,
so that they have been working some
outsiders. ' '
The grainhandlers,. are 'employed in
trucking on the docks, while the long
shoremen handle the cargoes aboard the
ship, and a member or the latter union,
while not saying so outright practlqaUy
4i
straightened out between the shippers
and grainhandlers, the longsnoremen
would undoubtedly be affected, as far
as the ships loading grain out are Icon-
cefhed. v '" '' '' " ' Fv ' "'.;''':

"We will not, ship any wheat from

chartered so that we can ship either by
way of this port or Puget sound. When
the dispute )s settled we will again
ship from Portland." .
.This manner of chartering grain ves
sels has been more general among all
f the big exporters this season, as
they have not had much doubt aa to
the outcome Of the wage question.
.The sentiment of the shippers, says
Patullo; Is that they can't afford to pay
40 cents an hour instead ef 35 cents
as they have heretofore, and compete
with Puget sound, which pays but 30
cents an hour straight time. He said
that he had telephoned - their agents

New York. Sept. -21. That the corn

cated by late returns from the pri

probably take tha official count to de-,

likely, according , to the latest figures,
that the majority wilt be more than 10

Roosevelt, claims the colonel will con

The latest estimates made by politi
cians here closely watching the contest
show that the regularaeean count on
492 delegates. It requires 508 to eon
trot Roosevelt, according to this esti
mate, cannot count absolutely on more
than 478 delegates.
