At Reunion Banquet Members
Decide to Work IndefatipA
': ably for Party. ,
- Tha principle of the Republican par.
ty ks promulgated in the platform
adopted at the Chicago convention, will
be the principles of the reorganized
Mul torpor club. At a reunion banquet
held last night at the Bowers hotel.
. ltwaaecjdedtha
which JO years ago devoted ta .ener
gies to the success of the. Republican
party In Portland and Oregon, should
be-reorganised, and that its objects and
aims should be the. same as they were
Irv the htydey of the club's former ac.
tivltles.
C M. Idleman, president of the club,
was authorized by a practically unani
mous vote, to appoint a committee of
five to arrange the details of reorgan
isation. This will be accomplished as
soon as possible, and then regular meet
ings of the club will be held.
It was the general sense of the meet
ing last night that the Republican par
ty, rather than any of Us particular
leaders or ex-leaders, is deserving of
the Multorpor club's support. President
Idleman said that he and many others
of those present could not properly be
called anything but progressive, and
that they welcomed the idea of pro
gresslveness. At the same time he
held that after .the party has made Its
nomination ntfy man who gets, up and
says that hit judgment is superior to
the judgment, of the people, Is danger
ous to the party, and even traitorous to
the best Interests of his party. Mr.
Idleman urged that every member of
the club get out and work for the suc
cess of the Republican party at the
November election.
Dr. Emmett Drake urged that party
principles are greater than individual
efforts, and ho aBked that the Multor
por club be understood as a Republican
-4aubwmoutaByjjreflx. Dr Drake
maintained, that If the club members
.would work sincerely for the success
'of the Republican party in Oregon, that
the good influence of this effort would
loo felt In Washington and California,
'and throughout the west.
DrB. F. -Miller, J. B. Cleland ana B
8. Pague and others urged that the
club stand up for the principles of the
Republican party as It had done In the
olden days.
Will O. Steel reviewed . briefly the
club's history and read the roll of those
who have died Elnce the club's organ
ization. . A silent toast was given In
their memory.

gives each state and any injured Indi
viduals the right to bring injunction
suits against a trust.
A second bill is designed to prevent
"Interlocking directorates" among rail
road and industrial corporations., It la
proposed to prohibit any officer or em
ploye of an Industrial corporation in
the coal Industry or manufacture of
structural steel and rolling stock, from
acting lu a similar capacity for a rail
road. Another bill seeks divorce of indus

That J. P. Morgan St Co. received a
fee of 18!, 500, 000 for underwriting the
steel syndicate la asserted.
"The Steel corporation's capitalisation
is $1.74&.?24.2S4.4B," the report declares,

vast holdings of directors of the "trust"
in other corporations totals up into

The Morgan-Gary-Perklne plan for
federal incorporation and price fixing,
the Democrats declare, is "semi-socialistic,"
and the present situation Is best
"remedied by publicity and strict en
forcement of laws.
"Had the character of the Steel corpo
ration been known at the time-of the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company it Is highly improbable that

The Steel trust waa not watered, the
report says. "It was deluged," Stanley

Meeting of Board Will Be Held

Ba)em Boreas of The Joaresl)
Salem, Or., Aug. 2. The legal fight
to secure possession of the $50,000 ap
propriated by the last legislature for
tho purpose of building a dormitory at
the Monmouth state normal school will
be started next week, according to the
present plans of .the normal board. If
Governor West returns In time a meet
ing of the board will be held next Mon
day, when It Is expected the board will
Instruct its secretary to present to tho
secretary of state " claim for $500 due
to the architects who prepared the plans
for the proposed dormitory. If the sec
retary of state refuses to honor the
claim, mandamus proceedings will ba
instituted Immediately.
The suggestion Has been made that
the best way out- of :he muddle, which
was caused by the attorney ' general lrf
falling to appeal from the injunction is
sued by the circuit court restraining the
secretary of state from placing the nor
mal referendum on the ballot and the
attorney general's subsequent conten
tion that the Injunction is void on the
ground that the suit was Improperly
brought, would be for tho normal board
to bring a new suit in the same manner
that the University of Oregon did. It
is pointed out that the normal would be
sure to win because if the names se
cured by the seven circulators, whose
work was declared by the supreme court
in the university case to be fraudulent
were thrown out; there would be left
only about half enough names to per
fect a referendum petition.
State School Superintendent Alderman,
speaking for the normal board, said
such action would be foolish es so far
as the court Is concerned they would be
starting a new action to get what they
already legally possessed. Members of
the normal board do not concede the
attorney general's views that the ln-
J unction la void. Theypolnt .ouLthal
the injunction stands on the records of
the court and that the supreme court,
in deciding the question of mandamus.
