VILLUO TO "LEXD A HASD."
Tkat the people are adverse to tbe
signing of petitions asking (or the In
latlon of measures at the next gener
al election, and that there Is a grave
IHtohbood of some of the measures
failing to secure a position on the bal
lot for lack of sufficient signers Is
Urn declaration made by those who
mrm la touch wltb the situation and
wbo have converged with the circu
lator! now In the field.
Circulators of petitions asking for
the Initiation of the tax measures are
experiencing very much difficulty,
according to reports arriving here,
jmd one of those Interested In their
Initiation expressed the fear today
that sufficient signatures would be se
cured for but one measure that ex-
ing Is not known. It Is known, how-
ever, that the petitions are dlstrlbut-
ed far and wide, and it Is beleved
that they will obtain enough slgna-
tures to get on the ballot
For a while it was feared that the
Dlue Sky law was doomed to be lost
for the lack of enough signers on the
petitions, but the commercial bodies
of Portland are back of It, and so al
so are commercial bodies In other por
tlons of the state, and it was an
nounced here today that enough sig
natures for the petitions would be ob-
talned to entitle the measure to
place on the ballot.
Failure of the voters to sign the
petitions is attributed to the vast
number of them, and their lack of
time to become acquainted with them
In the past the general feeling was
that any measure was entitled to
place on the ballot so that the people
might say whether they desired to
enact them or not. Fast experience
has demonstrated, however, the falla
cy ot this atlttude, as many meas
ures without intent were passed
Just because they were on the ballot,
and not because the people really de
sired them, for in numbers they were
so vast that voters had never been
afforded an opportunity to examine
them and determine whether they
were wise or unwise, beneficial or
otherwise. The result Is that the at
titude of the people at the present is
that of onnnsttlnn to measures enlnff
empting certain personal property nn . ,., ,.,.. ,hftv ... ...
from taxation. So serious is the sit
nation surrounding these smeasure
that those back of them found it nec-
qualnted with their provisions, know
them to be of merit and In demand
by the people. In view of this attl-
eawury to send a man possessing ln-itudo on the part of tne votorg( thoge
iiuenco ana menus into a certain
field to labor for signatures. The pe
titions miiHt be filed by July 4, and
vrith the bulk of the signatures yet to
be secured It Is feared that the re
quired nuinher caunot be obtained.
Those back of the. bill of Governor
West, asking for the abolishment of
capital punishment are also bending
very effort to obtain the needed
number of signatures, and, while they
ex press hope of obtaining them, It is
known that the prospects are dark.
For the past week and a half State
Printing Expert Harris has been
spending his time In Portland In be
half of the measure. He Is directing
his energies toward lining up the la
bor element for the bill, and the last
reports submitted by him are de
clared to be not encouraging. Cir
culators of this petition for this
measure elHcwliere are meeting
with about the sanio success.
Another bill which circulators are
experiencing trouble wltb is that seek
lng to put the state printer flat salary
bill Into tho effect next year. The
local typographical union here has
aplit on tbe measure, and those op
posed to It are waging a strong cam
paign against it. Added to this is a
atrong feeling against putlng this bill
Into effect, so long as the present In
cumbent Is In office. Thoy contend
that It Is unfair to him, and are In
clined to uphold the contention of
the legislature, In attaching a pro
viso to it that It .hould not go Into
effect until the expiration of his
term of office.
Jnat how the road bills of Gover
nor Wmt and of the Grange are far-
In touch with the situation in general
predict that most or the measures
which Jlnd a place on the ballot will
be voted down, and that none will be
enacted, save those with which they
are conversant, and for which they
believe there Is an urgent need.

Baltimore June 21. Chief Interest
of Democrats here today centered In
the fight that is imminent between
William J. Bryan and the conserva
tive leaders over the selection of
Judge Alton B. Parker as temporary
chairman of the convention.
That Bryan will oppose Parker's
election to the last is declared by
his close friends, who will direct the
progressive forces until the Com
moner himself arrives from Chicago.
Bryan Is said to be depending for
support on the followers of Champ
Clark and Woodrow Wilson. . The
Harmon and Underwood delegates
ere entirely satisfied.
Rumors were flying fast today that
the Clark people were dickering with
the conservatives, esepclally Murphy
of New York and Taggart of Indiana,
and that the deal Involves throwing
the Clark strength to Parker, In re
turn for which the votes of the New
York and Indiana delegates, besides
some unlnstructed delegates, would
bo given to Clark on the first ballot
Bryan men prefer to disregard
these rumors and point out that If
Clark attempted such a deal, he
would lose more than he would gain,
because he would lose Bryan's
friendship and good will. The Bryan
men will carry the Unlit airalnst I
Parker to the full national commit
tee next Monday. They are already
barging that Parker's selection is
not valid because ho received only
eight of the 16 votes in the commit
tee on arrangements, which made
the selection, whereas, they claim, he
needed a majority. Bryan men ore
In the minority In the national com-
Ittee, which is therefore, expected
to ratify Parker's selection. The
fight will then be taken to the floor
of the convention.
No III Feeling Yet.
Bryan himself is exepcted to make
speech against Parker.
Campaign managers for Clark
Wilson. Harmon, I'nderwood, Gay
nor and Marshall ore already mak
ing claims. So far no 111 feeling has
cropped out. No manager expects
his man to be named on the first few
ballots. Clark managers, who make
the biggest claims, say he will have
at least 425 votes on the Initial bal
lot, but that is 300 less than the nec
essary two-thirds.
Among the conservative leaders It
hi no secret tbat the matter of pick
ing Judge Parker for temporary
halrman Is to be used to bring to
direct Issue Bryan's influence In
the convention.
The conservatives almost to a man
profess to believe thnt Bryan himself
wants the Democratic nomination.
They prefer any candidate so far
mentioned to him, and they Bay that
If they can make Parker the tempor
ary chairman In the face of the bit
ter fight which Bryan is expected to
mn Ue against him, they will have
taken Bryan's measure and defeat
him, even though he should come out
openly for the nomination.
Bryan's friends have been In com
munication with him at Chicago, urg
ing him to hurry to Baltimore and
take personal charge of tho progres
sive forces, but It Is believed he will
not come until the Republican con
vention has adoujrned, unless, of
course. It sliould go over until next
week, In which even he Is expected
to come to Baltimore Sunday or
Monday.
Think Parker Safe.
The anti-Bryan men declare they
have carefully canvassed the -situation
and believe they will elect Park
er In spite of Bryan! The answer of
the Bryan men Is the anti-Bryan
leaders cannot deliver their delega
tion solidly for any proposition
against which Bryan takes a pro
gressive stand.
Senator Newlands of Nevada, Sen
ator Pomerene, of Ohio, and other
p'atform builders are on the grounds.
Newlands will urge a plank dis
franchising all the negroes in the
United States and providing for their
colonization In Africa.
Pomerene wants the Ohio plan for
loaning government funds to the
highest qualified bidders made legal
by the federal government.
The claims of managers for their
candidates are as follows:
Clark 425; WUboo, 300; Harmon,
55; Underwood, 90; Marshall, 30;
Gaynor, 90.
The Gaynor people do not know
positively that Charles F. Murphy,
the Tammany leader, will give New
York s 90 votes to Gaynor but they
continue to c'alin them.
The Two-thlrd Rule.
The movement to break the two
tniros rule and to make it possible
for the convention to nominate by a
majority of 1,094 delegates, appears
to have been dropped as far as this
ccnventlon would be affected, al
tnougn an effort may be made to
adopt a majority rule and have it ap
ply for the first time for the conven
tion in 1916.
The unit rule will be attacked, par
ticularly by the 19 Wilson delegates
from Ohio, who were elected by di
rect primary. The Ohio Democratic
state convention, by adopting the unit
rule bound the 19 -Wilson men to
vote for Governor Harmon. The con
tention will be made that a state
convention had no legal authority to
Impose the unit rule, when the dele
gates were elected by direct primary.
Mayor Newton D. Baker, of Cleve
land, will lead the fight on the Ohio
M'llson men.
