'Mot for many years before the pass ing of the, old convention system of politics has such a convention been held In Oregon. There were' no slates, and almost one continuous fight over pro cedure and candidates was In, progress during, the six hours. But the conven tion was remarkable to? the way those losing their contests accepted defeat. If there were any acre spot they were well covered. Clack's Coming m Surprtsst The most Intense Interest of the con vention developed In the fight for the United States senatorshlp nomination. A. E. Clark was a dark horse. No out sider' had beard his name mentioned. The talk had been that the race would be between Fred W. Mulkey and Sen ator Bourne. Both were placed in nom ination and the fight became bitter. A severe attack was made on Bourne by L. II. McMahan of Salem and prob ably turned the tide, whloh seemed In his favor. He criticised Bourne be cause he bad not declared himself as a supporter of the Progressive party. He said Bourne was in the same category as Cummins of Iowa and Borah of Idaho, who announce they Intend to Sup port Roosevelt but refuse to break away from the Republican party. He chal lenged anyone to call them Progressives, from a party standpoint. When the fight was on against Bourne J, Frank Burke submitted a motion that It be the sense of the convention that Bourne should be eliminated because he was not identified with the Progressive party. Clark urged the convention not to consider such a step. He said he wanted to let the convention vote on as mijny names as any delegate desired to present, ;. Burke then withdrew bis mo tion, ' r. ' . Clacks Oeta 81 Oat of 130. In the balloting for the nomination ltO votes were cast, Clark receiving 61, Bourne 29 and Mulkey 10. A resolu tion had been previously passed that all nominations must be made by a major ity vote, so when the vote on senator ship was announced, Mulkey Immediate ly withdrew, and soon after Bourne was withdrawn and a motion carried to make Clark's nomination unanimous. Mulkey then warmly approved Clark's nomina tion and declared his Intention to work for his election. ' The convention was Organized by electing Ax K. Clark chairman and. L M. Lepper secretary, this being both the temporary and permanent organisation. Then all the delegates who wished to affiliate with the party were requested to slga a roHter. Oliver M. Hlckey asked what the con vention would do In cases where Pro gressives were running on the Republi can ticket, naming particularly Secre tary of Bute Ben Oloott. Midway Courses Condemned. This called forth from several speak ers denunciation of all those who have not openly embraced the new party and Still expect to "receive support from it Ben Rlesland said to favor such can didates would be putting a premium on cowardice. "If they are Progressives, why have they not come out and said so r he demanded. i ' - ; "',: U H, McMahon said if the Progres sives were going to try to fuss with the Republican or Pemooratlo parties, they ctwld count him out ,' " ' ; ,. "Some of the men here don't want a candidate for United States senator be cause they don't want to hurt Ben Bell ing," he declared. "Some don't want the restriction clause because they want Bourne." lie urged the delegates to make a full sweep down the line. XeUahra Xtoapes Declaration. .Burke moved that a committee be ap pointed to suggest to the convention names for presidential electors. This was howled down under the cry for having every action taken In open con vention. Burke then moved that the five men who had been chosen at the Portland mass meeting of the party be nominated. This opened a fight on Dan Kellaher. One of the delegates from the southern part of the state Insisted that Kellaher should tell the convention whether he was with the Progressives or with the Republicans. Some of Kel laher's friends declared that was an Insult. But Kellaher addressed the con vention and said that whether the con vention named him or not none would work harder for Roosevelt than he. Stays oa Xepublloaa Ticket Before the convention met some of the leaders held a conference with Kel laher and an agreement was reached that Kellaher should be nominated for presidential elector by the Progressives, and then he will ask the secretary of state to place his name on the ballot with the Progressive group, thus leav ing a blank in the Republican group. But If the law prevents the secretary' state 'from doing this, then it was agreed that Kellaher should resign from the Progressive ticket and permit the state central committee to fill the vacancy. It was held by the leaders that the primary law does not permit a candidate to resign from a nomina tion received in the primaries, so Kel laher cannot resign from the Republican ticket ' When the nomination of a candidate for aeoretary of state came up, George F. Rodgers, of Salem, urged the con vention to pass up the nomination for this office and for supreme court judge. Brace Dennis Attacks Oloott This brought Bruce Dennis to the floor with a bitter attack on Secretary of State Olcott He declared Olcott did not know what the term Progressive meant s.nd that if the party failed to nominate a candidate to oppose him. It would be the laughing stock of the state. For the office of secretary of state, besides Kennedy, there were nominated U M. Lepper and Lute Pease, of Port land. Lepper withdrew his name. Ken nedy received 19 votes and Pease 37. Judge McGinn's name was presented for supreme court Judge, and later with drawn when Senator Joseph deolared that McGinn's oath of office prevented him from becoming a candidate. Recommendation was made that a congressional convention of the party be held In Portland Thursday to name a congressional candidate. No candidate was named to oppose T. K.
